There was an enthusiastic meeting OF
the Fourth of July committee at Hotel
Jermyn last night and II was decided to
make the celebration a go. They went
even farther and resolved to make It
the biggest celebration the city has ever
seen.
First Of all the question as to whether
or not the citizens wanted celebration
was discussed and when the sentiment
Of all present was taken the question
was decided in the affirmative by an
unanimous vote. Having determined
that the next matter that presented It.
self was what form the event should
take. There was no dissent from the
original proposition to make the cele-
bration one of the good old-fashioned
kind on a large scale, consisting Of a
parade in the morning, speech-makine
in the afternoon and fireworks IN the
evening, or something on that ordG.
MAYOR BAILEY CHA1RMON.
Permanent organization was effected
by eiecting Mayor Bailey chairman and
A. B. Dunning, secretary. The forma.
tion OF committees was left to gen.
eral committee consisting Of the follow
ing, who were appointed chairmen Of
the various subcommittee: Fire de.
partment, Chief P. J. Hickey; military,
Col. H. a. Coursen; civic societies. Cap.
tain J. J. O'Hara: merchants, r. H.
Jernyu; manufacturers, W. H. Storrs;
music, Colonel Z. II. Ripple; orators.
Hon. l.. A. Watres; fireworks. Frank
| Thompson; press, James O'Connor;
ragamuffins, Alex. Dunn, jr.
1t is proposed to make the industrial
display the great feature Of the parade,
Every manufacturer and bis business
house in the city will be urged to rake
some sort Of a display and as one Of the
purposes Of the celebration Is to keep
the people and consequently the money
at home. It Is expected that those who
will be most benefited thereby will not
need much urging to induce them to
participate. Every society that is in
the habit Of participating in parades
will be invited to take part and every.
thing will be done to bring out full
representation, both Of the civic and
military societies.
OTHER ARRANGEMENTS.
Who the orators will be has not as
vet been taken into consideration, but
the fact that Col. Watres has this matter
in hand is assurance that we will have
some celebrities. The music and fire.
works, Of course, will depend in a meas.
ure on the reception the soliciting COM
mittee will meet in their tours, which
will begin at once.
Another meeting will be held early
next week, the date to be fixed by the
chair. The committeeman by that time
will have been appointed and notified
and rousing general meeting will be
held.

TO THE IRISH PEOPLE.
An Address from the Headquarters
of the NATIONAL Alliance.

An Address from the Headquarters
of the National Alliance.
NEW YORK, Aug. 26.-The following
appeal to the Irish people has just
been issued from the headquarters of
the Irish national alliance in this city:
ITO the Irish people in America
Friends:-The men who for thirteen
years have suffered untold fortunes for
the crime of loving Ireland, have been
thrown upon the world by the British
government now, when they are ut
terly broken in health and at the point
of death. In a few days, they will be
with US in this land of liberty. These
men are the wounded soldiers of Ire
land and it is the duty of the people
of the Irish race to come to their res
cue. They must have rest, and be
carefully attended if they are ever to
lxsume their places in this world To
secure this needed rest and care, a
large sum of money will be absolutely
necessary. For this reason, we appeal
to you for the sake of common human
ity and the love you bear the patriots
VINO went into the fight for our mother
land. There is not one so poor as not
to be able to aid in this noble work.
Contributions should be sent without
delay to Hon. P. V. Fitzpatrick, treas
urer Irish National alliance, No. 154

with me. But it is not such an I'M
heard-of thing for me to go TO con-
gress after adj. 1 could have been in
congress long ago if l had wanted to.
l want to tell you I've got connections
and associations with some Of the big
gest men in the nation Pointing with
pride to a picture Of John A Logan,
which hung against the wall, Mr.. Tay-
lor. continued:
IF that man had been elected presi-
dent l could have had anything l
might have asked for that it was in
his power 10 give, and ii wouldn't have
mattered what it was, and so l say II
would be nothing uncommon if l were
10 De elected 10 congress, notWlthstand-
ing that they laugh at my can0-dacy
and say I'm crazy. The trouble with
them is that there is too much method
in my insanity. / tell too many pain
truths TO suit them, and it's because
L have too much principle, am too
truthful and too outspoken in express
ing my principles that they say such
things about me. The people don't
want a positive man except in some
great emergency. It's the smooth pol
icy man who gets TO the front till an
emergency arises, and then they turn
to a positive man, one of character,
who is not afraid to fight for principle.
I'll never get up in Utah till an emer-
gency presents itself, but it will arise
some day and then the people will
want a positive man and will come to
me-"
Concerning the probable action of
the Republican convention, Mr.. Taylor
said:
L don't know what the convention
will do, but you may rest assured there
will be Mckinley electors nominated
and a Mckinley congressman, too.
Why should tha~e not be? If Mckinley
is elected he is entitled to the aid Of
the congressman, for what would 1t
avail 10 have Mckinley elected and
Bryan congress? He could not carry
out the promises of the platform ne
was elected on without congress. The
same thing is true if Bryan is elected
he is entitled 70 the congressman and
a Bryan congressman should be elect
ed. l repeat, you may depend upon 1t
that Mckinley electors and a Mckinley
congressman will be elected if 1 have
to call a convention myself, and
could do it and get a good representa-
ton. too, for my standing in Utah is
as good as anybody's. OF course if 1t
came to the pass that 1 had to call
a convention, 1 should have TO and
would withdraw my candidacy, for to
remain in the race would look as
though 1 were trying to advance my
own interests
Having thus given expression to his
sentiments. Mr.. Taylor thought he had
talked enough for the day.
The following open letter was sent
to The Herald last evening, upon the

Sullivan Testifies strongly in Mrs.
Craven's Favor.
SAN FRANCISCO, Aug. Eek
Judge ]. F. Sullivan, until lately legal
adviser of Mrs. Nettie Craven, today
testified strongly in favor of Mrs
Craven's claim in the Fair will case.
Judge Sullivan stated that Mrs. Craven
consulted him in 1892 about a contract
marriage with Senator Fair and that
he advised her against entering into
one Of that nature. Later she exhib
tied to him a paper which purporteS
to be a marriage contract, but he could
not remember whether it was signed
or not Mrs. Johnson. the proprietress
of the Colonial hotel where the school
principal had boarded for number
Of years, testified that Mrs. Craven
had shown her the contract Of mar
riage, and also the deeds to several
valuable pieces of local property Mrs.
Johnson had disapproved of Mrs. era
ven's friendship for Fair because she
stated Fair did not have a good repu-
tation"

The attorney general yesterday is
sued two opinions concerning county
and school matters. One refers to in
stances where several school districts
consolidate, each of the old districts
amounts. The opinion is as follows:
SCHOOL DISTRICTS.
Nels Jensen, Esq. County Attorney,
Box Elder County, Brigham City.
Utah:
Sir-I have before me your favor of
August "a in which you recLl - ,llan
Brigham City constitutes four school
districts, separate and distinct, one
having AN Indebtedness of $4,000; an
either $4,000; another 51.S00: the fourth
being out of debt with perhaps a lit
tie money in the treasury You state
that the people of Brigham City are
DESTROYS of consolidating these dis
trlctS, and you ask to be advised if
The districts are united into one by the
board Of county commissioners, will the
taxpayers OF what is now the Fourth
district, which is out of debt, be oblig-
ed to help pay off the bonded indebt-
edmess OF the other districts, or will
the taxpayers eli those districts which
are Oonded be Obliged to pay off their
own Indebtedness.
[ am OF OPINION chat section SO, page
ATS, of the laws of 1896 fully answers
your question. 1t provides:
THE board OF county commissioners
of any county may create into a school
district any territory not already so
created, or may create district out
of a part or parts of one or more dis
tricts upon being petitioned to SO do,
by so many residents of such territory
as have the care and custody of not
less than twenty school children of
school age residing therein, or upon
the recommendation of the county su-
perintendent. The board of county
commissioners may change the boun-
DIARIES of, divided and consolidate exist
ing school districts. Whenever the
board of county commissioners shall
divide, conslolidG sc or change the boun-
DIARIES of existing school districts, said
board shall have the power, as an in
cidellt to such division, consolidation
or change, to equitably adjust the prop
erty rights and burdens of the several
districts affected thereby, by appor
tioning existing school property and
debts. and by modifying or reappor-
tioning taxes already voted, in such
1IldLuSI do l4iS ollCS VI Lie Sct@9S ol1cill,
in the opinion of such board demand.
To accomplish such adjustment the
board of county commissioners may di-
rect special taxes to be levied and col
lected on particular areas Of districts
so changed"
Under this section, it is clear that
the whole question of adjustment of
property rights and burdens and the
superintendent of existing school prop
erty and Indebtedness would be vested
in the board of county commissioners.
TIE board would also be empowered
to reapportion the taxes already voted;
in short, the board of county commits
sionars would be a tribunal to deter
mine all questions in relation to prop
erty rights and Indebtedness in such
manner as the justice OF the case
would, in their opinion, demand.

FIXING SALARIES.

TIE other opinion relates to the ques-
ton of fixing salaries of the various
county officials by the commissioners.
and is as follows:
L. @. Hoffman, Esq, County Attorney
of Carbon County, Price. Utah:
Dear Sir have before me your ia
vor of August "a, i'm which you say that
the county commissioners of your
county faited to comply with the law
in not fixing the salaries of county
officers ait the time mentioned in chap
ter 124 of the laws of 1896, and ask to be
advised whether the fixing of such sal
aries at a subsequent date would be
valid.
Replying thereto, am of opinion
that the law providing that the board
of county commissioners shall fix the
salaries of county officers is directory
SO far as the time of fixing such sala-
ries is concerned, and that if they
have not yet been fixed in your county
they should be ait the first meeting OF
the board of county commissioners
and when so fixed they will have the
same force and effect for adj purposes
as if they had been fixed within thirty
DAVIS after the act took effect as pro
vided in section 4 thereof. 1 have the
hon,,r to be your obedient servant,
A c. BISHOP,
Attorney General.
