most honored political parties of this
country has become divided this year.
"A part of 1t has united with two other
parties, and In some of the states the
alliance has been rejected and fusion
repudiated. so that the coalition is not
altogether harmonious. The other lead
ers Of the Democratic party, those who
carried it's burdens and fought it's bat
ties in the past, framed in the city of
Indianapolis a few weeks ago an in
dictment against their old party as
sociates who met in Chicago, which in
severity has been unequaled. 1t pro-
nounced the declarations of the Chicago
convention, which was Democratic in
name, as an attack upon individual free
dom, right of private contract, the in
dependence of the judiciary, and right
of the president to enforce the laws of
the country; they charged the Chicago
convention with a reckless attempt to
increase the price of silver by legislation,
to the debasement of our monetary sys-
tenn, and threatening unlimited issues
of paper money by the government.
They proclaim, in view of these and
other grave departures from economic
principles, that they cannot support the
candidate of that convention nor be
bound by it's acts. They declare that
the Democratic party has survived many
defeats, but could never survive a vic
tory won in behalf Of the policy pro-
claimed in its name at Chicago. On the
money question, they affirm that the ex-
perience of mankind has shown that

State Employment Agencies.
Don't forget that the silver
candidates for legislature are in
favor of the substitution of free
state employment offices for the
cut-throat agencies that now
curse Minnesota.
Geo. G. Findley, one of the Sill
yer candidates for representative,
two years ago, was one OF the
committee appointed by the Du-
luth Trades assembly that draft
ed a bill for such a reform.
Through the influence OF the
Minnesota Iron Company's hired
men the bill was pigeoned-holed.
Are you going to send another
batch of the same company's en-
ployes to kill such bills at the
next session?

the price will be high?" Just so:
and the same is true of money.
If it is scarce it's purchasing
power is greater, and so much
more produce must be given to
secure it. What the gold CON-
bine wants is a dollar that is
worth a dozen times more than
it was ever intended to be. In
that way their wealth is multi
piled without accommodating any
more dollars.

Railroads and Silver.
Judas Carlisle, in a recent
address, says that employers of
railroad corporations under free
silver could not get a raise OF
wages because the companies
cannot raise their tariffs. This
is new, indeed. The impression
generally prevails that raising
rates was the one thing at
which such corporations were
most proficient.
The facts are that railway
trains run half loaded three
fourths of the time. Interest,
taxes and salaries go along
lust the same whether their
passenger cars are crowded or
empty, whether their freight
trains contain half dozen cars
or forty, whether each one is
loaded with one ton or ten
tons.
Give us free silver, restore
the price of wheat, cotton and
live stock, and the business of
the railroads will be doubled
by the increased traffic arising
out of the prosperity of the
farmers; and not only will they
be able to pay better wages to
their employers, but they will
have to put on more men, and
will need more new cars and
more tracks. Then, too, they
will be able to pay their debts,
and when their debts are paid
their interest charges will be
cut off, and their business still
further enlarged by the encour-
aqement of traffic from still
cheaper rates. And all without
any reduction of legitimate
profits.

The Water Question.

AAO W SASSA ~SASSSAOAs
We would like to see this
water works question settled
and it does not seem that it can
be settled any other way than
to purchase. Let the city own
the plant and not put more and
heavier burdens upon the peo-
pie by carrying it along for
years. To let the matter drag
would mean expenses after ex-
penses; and it seems to us that
the heads of the different city
departments have made about
enough out of this water plant
deal. What with $4,000 for a
specialist to hunt for microbes,
fishes, etc., and other "inci-
dentals" that showed up at
every turn when the retrench-
ment committee was investiga-
ting the public works depart
ment we think it is about time
to call halt. After the city
owns the plant there will be less
chance for the board of public
works, and others to hoist Gin
cidenta1s' upon an already
overburdened city. Not that
we approve of the course of the
Water and Gas company, by
any means; for to our way of
thinking the whole property
should be confiscated by the
people; but as the citizens of
Duluth are not "anarchists' as
we are, we will advocate what
seems the most honorable to
the majority, and say: Get hold
of the plant the cheapest and
speediest way possible.

to the principles of the knights of

his earnest, efficient, seltsacrifc-

to believe him guilty. But the
idol fell. Those who had learned

when the knights finally deposed
him, still believed in him. 1t re-

And such a reason as he gave
for his change of front! Not that
he concluded the gold standard
was the best for the people; not
that free silver would bring trou-

If Mr.. Powderly were writing

origin should be unable to find
any proof to establish the popu-
lar story that the fire started
from a lighted lantern being
kicked over in the stable by an
old Irishwoman's cow, he would
at once from such evidence, or
lack of evidence rather, declare
that the whole thing was a hoax

any such fire.
It makes no difference to us in
this campaign how silver was
demonetized. It's the fact of de-
monetization we are kicking
about. Such demonstration has

altogether favorable for the democratic
convention to be controlled by the free
silver wing. He will probably remain
In Denver several days.

man today to Mayor McMurray, "but II
| may be permitted to offer word of
advice to the free silver republicans Of
Colorado, send Senator Teller to the
st. Louis convention as chairman of the
delegation with instructions, which he
will gladly obey, to lead his delegation
from the convention hall the moment
Mckinley or any other goldbug is NOM
mated for president, or any other plat
form than one demanding free silver,
without awaiting the consent of Eng-

Senator Tillman concluded: 1.-THE
country is going to hell; let us show the
world that we know it and that we are
determined to interfere"
Senator Tillman was rendered a re-
ception at the Brown Palace hotel to-
night. After being welcomed by Mayor
McMurray, he was presented with a
pitchfork made from gold and silver
taken from the mines of Colorado.
Hon. E. r. Holden, who made the pre-
sentation speech, said
take this pitchfork back to the
United States senate, and dig up the rec.
ord of Senator Sherman, and then dig
down into the history of John G. Car
isle.n
This remark was received with great
applause by the large assemblage that
h I'd gathered to welcome the bimetalist
from South Carolina.
Mr.. Tillman concluded his address by
saying; al stand by Colorado, and all /
ask is that you stand by South Caro-
lima"
After the senator had finished there
were loud calls for Hon. T. M. Patter-
son, who addressed the crowd briefly.
After the speech making Senator Till
man shock hands with several thousand
people. His principal address will be
made tomorrow night at the Broadway
theater.
| Senator Tillman will not speak at Ar
lington Park as was arranged. ID The SEN
ator found 1t impossible to fill this en-
gagement without disarranging all his
subsequent dates.

DUTIES OF MEMBERS OF rap
CHURCH
Plainly Defined by APOSTLE JoseDh
n. smith at Provo.


Provo, April Io.-The second dav Of
the Utah stake quarterly conference was
opened this morning, in the stake tab
ernacle, with very large attendance
The speakers this morning were Reed
Smoot OF the stake presidency and An.
gus NJ. Cannon.
AT the afternoon session, Seymour r
Young and President Joseph F. Smith
were the speakers.
President Smith spoke for an hour on
The discipline and order of the church
the duty of each and every member to the
church. He said If an apostle should
refuse to abide or acknowledge the au-
thority of his bishop, the bishop had a
perfect right to withdraw the hand of
fellowship from that apostle. The speak
err said that the church authorities had
the right to dictate both spiritually and
temporarily. The two were inseperably.
II man has a million dollars or a 100
acre farm, and should be called on
mission, and by going would lose all he
possessed, it would be his duty to 60
on the mission. President Smith dealt
at great length on the discipline of the
church and in closing told the Saints
that the manifesto lately read and
adopted at the general conference in
Salt Lake City would be read to them
for their approval or disapproval as they
saw proper to vote.
But" the speaker said, call who vote
againsf it have not got the spirit of the
gospel at heart.
After Joseph F. sat down the much
discussed manifesto was read by Prof.
Brimhall of the B. Y. academy. After
the reading President Partridge endorsed
1t and called for vote, the great ma
jority voting in favor of its adoption,
while a great many did not vote at all,
and several people left the hall
One man in the center of the build
ing voted against it, holding his hand as
nlgll as ne could reach. The choir sang
and conference adjourned.
Apostle Joseph F. Smith and party
returned home to Salt Lake on the
afternoon train.
Friday night, at about II o'clock, a
pistol shot was heard in the neighbor-
hood of the First ward school house,
and there are a number of people who
were in that vacinity claim that it was
meant for them individually. Rumor is
rife to the effect that a certain lady had
been shot at by well-known gentle
man, and that would not be the last of
it, And there are Others who are pos
tive that it was not the first of it, either.

MURDERED HIS MOTHER.
Horrible Crime at wallace, Idahs,

morning, presumably in a fit of insanity.
The family, consisting of father, mother,
wife and baby of the murderer, arrived
from Tekoa Thursday.
Henry Ellers, milkman, went to the
house to deliver milk, and when Mrs.
Perry went to the door, Perry caught
his mother, struggled with her an in
slant, then knocked her down. APP
preaching with Ratchet he ordered
Ellers to leave. Ellers hurried away
for help, but wnen he returned, the
woman was lying on the floor hacNed to
pieces and the murderer had fled. After
numbering his mother, Perry picked up
his baby and walking quietly out doors
handed it to his wife and fled. The
sheriff and city marshal overlook the
murderer about mile distant from the
house and he Immediately drew the
bloody Ratchet and dared them to ap
proach him. There was lively strug

Milk as a Food.

MIX is substitute that is complex in
its composition, says Professor Robert
son of Toronto. All of the ingredients,
except the fat, are in solution; the fat is
in suspension, and when the milk stands
for any length of time these little glo-
bules of fat rise to the surface and form
what is known as cream. A drop of
milk contains 100000 globules of fat.
Food, to the healthy and nutritious,
must have the correct proportions of
| flesh-forming and heat-producing mate
rial. Good nature, wholesomeness, self
mastery depend on the quality of foed
we eat. Raise boy on bread and milk
rather than on potatoes and bacon.
Bread and milk is a cheaper and much
better food. 1t Is a mistaken idea that a
man who works hard must eat rich food.
Three quarters of pound of beef
costing ten cents; one quart of milk
costing five cents; and five ounces of
wheat, costing \ of cent, are equal In
, nourishing material. One pound Of
5 cheese is equal to two and half pounds
of beef. There is no better diet to
work hard on than cheese and potatoes
and there Is no diet more digestible
Wheat bread is not well-balanced food
but bread well buttered is very nutri'
|. tious. Skim-milk and oatmeal are val
4 liable foods.
