Of demonstrating that its views on
the currency question were right
He is confident OF. ultimate victory
for the advocates Of bimetalism.

here to the conviction that there
can be no permanent relief to the
people based on the single gold
standard and that time will demon

we at the same time regard it as a
duty enjoined upon every citizen to
do everything in his power to assist
the President elect in every effort to
promote the welfare of the people
by any policy which he may consider
will accomplish the result.
10 this end we earnestly advise
all our friends and coadjutors
throughout the, United States to
suspend active agitation of the sub
ject Of free coinage of silver any
further than simple modifying Of
the free silver clubs throughout the
Union and the keeping up OF the
club rolls for future service. BY
this means we shall furnish to our
adversaries every opportunity to-
fulfil the-promises which they made
to the people during the campaign
of restoring to the people that meas
ure of prosperity which its resources
and commercial standing entitle it
to enjoy among the nations of the
earth and if it shall be demonstrated
that the incoming administration
shall be able to accomplish this
result for the people we shall have
no reason to regret the outcome of
the issue at the polls.
IF it can be demonstrated bv act

vanced by the Republican party in
the recent election will bring to the
people the promised relief, every BIZ |

in the past campaign.

THOSE LOTTERIES.

The season for holiday trading
has again arrived and storekeepers
throughout the State are adopting
various plans Of booming the sales
of their holiday goods. Among
the different plans noticed are sew
eral in which the element of
chance enters, and by means Of
which premiums are given to GER
tain purchasers. One Of the most
popular is the offering to the pur-
chaser of goods to certain
amount chance in a lottery in
which the prize is some article Of
merchandise. A number of adj
vertisements relating to these
schemes have been offered The
UNION, which we have been obliged
to decline, as the United States
postal laws forbid the use Of the
mails to publications containing
notices OF that nature. A number
of our country exchanges seem
not to have been made aware of
this fact by their postmasters.
The United States laws in force
against lotteries are very stringent
and the term lottery" is made to
cover all manner Of "gift",
chance" and drawing" enter
prises. We understand that there
is also very sweeping and strict
State law in Utah relating to these
affairs, and believe that the City
ordinances also deal with them.
Hence, for the reasons assigned
above, The UNION will be obliged
to decline advertisements of all
kinds which relate to matters in
which the element Of chance is a
drawing cald,

Uncompahgre Indians for the
opening Of their reservation seems
to have accomplished nothing be-
yond the arduous labor of drawing
their salaries. The excuse is made
that they were not fully informed
of the conditions and terms Of the
treaties. It looks as if it might be
a good plan to furnish these COM
missions with few instructions,
if it is expected that they are to
accomplish anything in return for
their expense bills.

while hurryiug along the sidewalk

BY the treacherous assassination
of Gen. Antonio Maceo the Cuban
patriots lose a great, leader and q
valiant and brave soldier. The
loss Of Gen. Maceo is expected by
the Spanish to be serious blow
to the revolution, but is likely to
prove otherwise, In that it will
rouse the Cubans to greater exer-
tons III their contest with a power
which uses the cruel and despic-
able methods of warefare adopted
by Spain. All true Americans
will look and hope for a speedy
and happy termination of this
struggle of the Cubans for indie
pendence, and we trust the time is
not far distant when the degener-
ate rule of the Spanish nation will
be a thing Of the past in the
Western Hemisphere.

railroad west to Deep Creek. Within
the same time all arrangements will be
completed for the first 800 miles Of the
road to Los Angeles, and il is confidently
asserted that work on this line will be-
gin shortly afterward.
The Utah Improvement Company to-
day filed with the State Auditor the
| original articles Of association OF the
| Salt Lake and Pacific Railroad Company

Company. The Auditor sent q certified

poration, with q capital Of $1,000. 900. is
for the purpose Of building a road from
Salt Lake to the southern boundary Of
the State near st. George, in Washing

A resolution was adopted indorsing the
address and pledging the support Of the
exchange in the construction Of the road.

Cosgrove in 1870 killed his sweetheart at
Elko, Nevada. in q fit Of jealousy. He
was sentenced to prison for life. To-day
a message was received here by Mrs. H.

Governor Jones was there and made the

The following week the company
played in Carson, and. at the suggestion
of Governor Jones, 9 performance for the

given in the prison. At its conclusion q

Leavitt and her husband and thanked
them heartily for the pleasure they had
given them, and presented each member
Of the company with some little trinket
Of their own handiwork. Among the
number was Cosgrove. who presented
Mrs. Leavitt with q pair Of fine singing
canaries raised by himself. Mrs. Leavitt
grew interested in him, and, after . little
persuasion. she learned the story of his
life. Mrs. Leavitt's heart was touched,
and she went to work with o woman's

efforts, il seems, have been crowned with
success.
