SHEEP AND SILVER.

The Wool Growers association has
met and taken cogniZance of the drift
of things in the Republican party in
the state. Practically, they have called
a halt Within the past few days Re-
publican primaries have been held in
various parts IF the state and they
have all endorsed the action of Sena-
tor Frank J. Cannon in voting for sill

has been no commentator of Senator
Arthur Brown for voting for that
foundation principle of Republicanism
protection. The wool growers still
believe in it, that is, those who adhere
to the Republican party, so the asso-
citation passed the following resolu-
ton:
Whereas, The wool industry is one
of the leading industries of the state
of Utah, and a great source of revenue
to her people; and there seems to be
a disposition to Sidetrack everything
in favor of silver, which we believe to
be unjust and unfair, also un-Republi-
can, and we denounce such a pro-
cedure. We believe in the free coinage
of silver at ratio of 16 to 1, but we
believe that the currency question
should stand upon its merits, also the
principle of protection; therefore, be it
Resolved, That it is the sense of this
convention that the wool growers of
Utah heartily endorse the action of
Senator Arthur Brown, as indicated
by his vote upon the question of pro-
lection and bimetallism.
The effort to- bring silver to the front
as the main issue (and anyone con-
versant with the political sentiment of
the country is aware that the money
question is the one great issue this
year, that it may be restored to it's pro-
per place as a money metal, that the
life blood of commerce may be in
vigorated, is declared by the Wool
unfair, also un-Republican," and as
such it is denounced. We agree with
the wool growers, that the attempt to
give silver the precedence over pro-

ton better than the Republicans of
Massachusetts, and New York do?
New York and Massachusetts, have a
greater electoral vote than all the Re-

was a fitting thing for the wool grow

THE NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS..

The grade of acknowledgement was
created as a special tribute to George
Washington. It has been revived on
several occasions to do honor to our
truly great military heroes. The high
est grades in the regular service has
usually been that of the ranking ma
jor-general General Miles now COM
mands the United States army by vir-
tue of his seniority in the latter grade.
There is a movement on foot to renew
the rank of Northumberland in the
interest of General Miles. The latter
has fine military record. During the
war he rose to positions Of great trust
and served his country well, but his
most eminent services have been in our
Indian campaigns, where his success
has been conspicuous. Notwithstand-
ing these creditable facts there ap-
pears to be a uniformity of opinion that
General Miles has not the record which
entities him TO be honored as the ma
ton has honored a Washington, a
Grant, Sherman, or Sheridan, or even
a Schofeld, the hero of Franklin. Pub
lie sentiment appears to demand that
the grade sanctified by the appoint
ment of our great leaders shall not be-
come a cheapened honor to which the
head of our army, whoever he may be,
may succeed in due course Of promo
ton,

ton in yielding to the demands OF the
railroads. that there shall be no legls-
lation affecting their interests.
1t is provided by section 10, OF
article 10, of the constitution OF Otah.
as follows:
1.-The legislature shall pass laws es-
tablishing reasonable maximum rates
of charges for the transportation Oh
passengers and freight, for correcting
abuses, and preventing discrimination
and extortion in rates of freight ana
passenger tariffs by the different rail-
roads and other common carriers o,
the state, and shall enforce Such laws
by adequate penalties"
This provision of the constitution is
mandatory. Whether it be polite OF
wise, is not in question. 1t is the SUI
preme law of the state and our Repub-
lican legislature with it's eyes open,
violated its plain provisions. AT the
same time it has enacted a great vol
ume of laws, many being so loosely
drawn that large amount OF expen-
sive litigation will result.
1t has provided for the partisan con-
troll of our election machinery. 1t mas
created antagonism between the hrst
city in wealth and population in the
state and the country sections. 1t has
repudiated honest claims and set up
the guidance of individuals.
The Democratic members have con-
sistently labored for the common good.
They have succeeded in killing many
vicious measures, and each has been
animated by the laudable purpose OF
advancing the interests of all the
people.
Wherever the Republicans are in
power in the state, the people are DIS
nd tn ny GpRtl0nS dis
gusted. Salt Lake county is a fair
example of Republican rule. Although
it has a large floating indebtedness
drawing a high rate of interest, which
should be funded in low interest
bonds, the people have so little talth
In those who are now in charge tnat
they prefer to pay high interest rather
than to vote bonds and take the des-
perate chances which they would take
in allowing the present officials to
handle the funds.
The Democratic officials in Utah are
serving the people with fidelity The
Democratic judges are expoundlnS the
law with impartia1ity. Some day the
people of Utah will learn that the
Democratic party is their true friend.

Instructed the Delegates.

The delegates sent from this state con-
vention should have statement from
that body as to the stand that they are
expected TO take upon the issues that will
come up in the convention at St. Louis.
IL the party in this state wants them to
stand for silver irrespective of party
affiliations, then let them say SO. WITH a
positiye statement and instructions from
the convention they must stand by, the
delegates will have no choice or excuse
for turning traitor to the cause of silver.
Some of the primaries already held nave
ma ssed resolutions to govern their dele
gates. ANY business firm gives it's agents
Instructions before sending them out to
act for them. The delegates of this con-
vention, appointed to act as its agents,
are entitled to Instructions for their
guidance.-Box Elder News.

The canaigre Root Bounty :.

Canaigre root grows on the desert lands
and barren hillsides of southern Utah and
Arizona without the cultivation, irrigation
and expense necessary to the raising Of
grain vegetables, fruit and other pro-
ducts of the soil; it is indigenous to the
soil and can be grown at a profit with
out a bounty; yet the grain raisers,
gardeners and fruit growers of Utah must
pay few men engaged in this easy go
ing but profitable industry. The canaigre
root gatherers are lucky fellows to be
sure.-Logan Journal.

The Hayes Verdict.

The verdict of the jury in the Hayes
murder case seems to meet general ap-
prevail, although some think the evidence
was hardly strong enough to convice. such
conclusions likely being drawn from the
reports in the daily papers, which of
course did not contain all the evidence.
It seems that Hayes himself furnished
the most convicting evidence. AS the
case will, if new trial is denied, be
carried to the supreme courts, it will be
some time yet before it is finally settled,
and in the meantime something may
develop which will solve the whole mys-
tery.-Payson Globe.

and will soon have the balance of the
counties completed. This matter of
the canvass of the women should be
attended to at once by the county and
precinct committeeman. We must as
certain the names and residences of the
Democratic women.
We must arrange to have
many OF them naturalized and
we must see that those who are en-

A NEW STATE COMMITTEE.
In view of the Importance of the
campaign this year, advise that a new
state committee be chosen at the con-
ventlon which will elect delegates to
the national convention at Chicago.
That committee should meet immedi-
ately after it is chosen and elect its Of
ficers. AT the county conventions new
county committees should be chosen.
and at the caucuses new precinct com
mittees should be elected. The chair
man of each precinct committee should
be made member of the county COM
mittee and the chairman of each county
committee should be a member of the
state committee. Thus the working
forces GU the party will be concentrated
and better party discipline can be
maintained. So soon as a caucus or
primary is held, the secretary should
mail at once to me the name and post
office address of each precinct commit
teeman. When the county conventions
are held the secretary should mail me
at once the names and postoffice ad-
dresses of the county committee chosen,
the names of the delegates elected to
the state convention, and a copy of any
resolutions adopted. These things must
be attended to promptly so that we may
get our forces into working order The
women should be given fair representa-
ton as delegates and as members of
the committees and the most active,
earnest and intelligent Democrats
should be chosen. Select as chairmen
those who are willing to act and who
know what to do. Organize so that

JUDGE POWERS, ADDRESS.

We give below the address of Judge
o. w. Powers, chairman of the Demo-
cratic state committee, and as
it deals with the party's past
efforts in the state. its present
operations and condition. and
also points out the issues which con-
front the Democracy of the state, we
invite special attention to it by giving
it place in these columns:
To the Democratic State Committee:
At the close OF the campaign of 1895
/ submitted an itemiZed report, which
was published in The Salt Lake Herald,
of the receipts, expenditures and La
bilities of the Democratic state commit
tee. That report showed that the total
liabilities of the committee were
50, 577.71. A part of that amount was
estimated Since the report was made
we have gathered in the outstanding
bills, and the total liabilities at the
close of the campaign Of 1885, were
2,50465, or $73.06 less than the amount
reported.
In order to continue the work of the
party and to provide an income for the
state committee, shortly after the cleo
ton in November, the Utah State DEM
ocratic club was organized with a.
members. Headquarters were opened
and Mr.. JOS NJ. Cohen was placed in
charge, and largely through his eff
forts, the membership of the club has
been increased to 124, with monthly
dues amounting to S146.75. The men,
bers of the club, with the exception of
one, all reside in Salt Lake and Park
City. The club should have at least
600 members, and if the Democrats of
Utah will further it's interests it can
be easily increased to that number
and the result will be the speedy can
collation. of all liabilities and we will
have money on hand for campaign ex-
penses. The total amount of money re-
ceived by the club since it's organiZa-
ton, is the sum of $49342. This has
been expended as follows:
