The Only Salvation.

Hon. o. w. Powers, chairman of
the democratic state central COM
mittee, returned to Salt Lake Tues
day from an extended visit east.
The Judge paid considerable atten-
ton to political matters, and with
the presidential campaign just
opening, he was able to get much
information as to the trend of af-
fairs and the prevailing sentiment.
In reply to a Herald reporters
questions in regard to the chances
of success for the Democratic party,
be said: "The only show on earth
for the Democrats to win this fall
is by declaring for silver, and NOM
mating silver man. If they do
that, they have an equal chance of
carrying Alabama, Arkansas, Geor-

Cannot Stultify Himself By supporting
4 Gold Standard Han.

In view of the conflicting reports
concerning his attitude, Senator
Teller, May 18th, sent the following
telegram from Washington to be
read to the republican state conven-
ton which was held at Pueblo, Col,
Thursday, May 14th:
Hon. Irving Howbert, Colorado
Springs-I wish to say to the state
convention, through you, that l do
not desire to go to the national con-
vention, and cannot 60 unless the
state convention is in accord with
my ideas in declaring that, in the
coming campaign, the silver ques-
ton is the paramount issue. The
state convention should act with
the full knowledge that l do not
intend to support candidate on 9
gold standard platform Of doubtful
construction.
If this course puts me out OF
sympathy with the republican senti-
ment of the state, rs portion Of
the republican press allege it will,
l will accept the result with all its
logical consequences in preference
to an abandonment of principles
and qualification of a record made,
as l conceive, under the instruc-
tons of every republican state con-
vention held in Colorado during
the past twelve years.

articles in West Virginia, rs the
Ditch Greek Mining company, with
capital stock Of 100000. The
company owns 284 acres in Lemhi
county. A saw mill has already
been shipped in and fumes con-
structed; two immense hydraulics
in place; buildings erected and in
all about $4,000 has been spent in
improvements. Articles Of incor-
poration have been prepared to file
in Lemhi county. The estimated
value of the property is placed at
seven million dollars. The old
Nicola mining camp is coming to

A dispatch from Wardner May
18th says: A determined attempt
was made last night to burn down
the Mammoth Bunker Hill concen-
traitor at Wardner junction. The
concentration was fred with the aid
of boxes, sacks and kerosene, and
at the same moment a portion of
the large fume was blown up by a
charge of dynamite which shook
up the buildings at kellogg nearly
mile distant. The dynamite was
used a few hundred yards above
the mill. The machinery stopped
and the electric lights were ex.
tinguished two minutes later. The
time selected was when most of the
mill hands were at supper, one re-
naming saw the FIRE as soon as it
started and promptly extinguished
it. The object was to get the con-
contractor burning and prevent its
extinguishment by cutting off the
water supply. The Bunker Hill
employs 400 men. The militia was
called out and remained out all
night, but no arrests have been
made as yet.

The body of H. H. Holmes was

cemetery at Philadelphia Friday
and was lowered into a grave ten
feet deep. The box which contains
the body, embedded in cement, al

A layer of cement two feet thick
was piled upon the coffin and his

These precautions were the result
of Holiness last wishes. He feared

II. II. Holmes was one of the most
conspicuous criminals of modern
times, and if the confessions he
wrote can only be partially believed,
he was without peer as blood

killed twenty-seven persons, was
partly disproved by the appearance
of several of the so-called victims !;

The following extracts are taken
from letter received from our reg
ular Washington correspondent:
Representative Amos Cummings
of New York will lose his we'll de-
served reputation for level-headed-
edness if he introduces few more
bills like the one he introduced this
week, to prohibit the offering of
gifts or prizes in connection with
chewing or smoking tobacco or Gig
arettes. What right has Congress
to interfere if the manufacturers of
these or any other articles choose
to encourage their consumption by
giving away something? Now if
there was any way by which Con-
gress could absolutely stop the
manufacture of the sinking paper
cigarettes the average citizen would
not be likely to question its consti-
tutionality, but the bill of Mr..
Cummings is calculated to increase
their manufacture by making 1t
more profitable.
"A bill intended to prevent Cana
dams coming into the United States

and returning to their homes in

to the House committee on Labor.
Its title is: IA bill for the protection
of American Labor and to estab-
lish additional regulations concern
ing immigration"

heard complaints and administered
justice to his subjects. The exam
ination of a culprit was brief, and
usually ended with the Shah pro-
nouncing sentence and having it
executed on the spot. He would
pronounce judgment thus: "Cut
the condemned"-and then he
would point to his own ear, or eye,
or hand, or head, or any portion Of

The Democratic party now claims the
country needs free silver. They steal the
thunder of the Populists and put it in
their platform and they have stolen the
potent of populism. They say that the
characterization of silver in 1878 was "a
crime. The Democrats did not discover
this crime until 23 years have passed and
now they come. forward and call the Re-
publican party asoriminal. When nation
becomes bankrupt it may go into bank
ruptoy for time. If this country is in

and confess bankruptcy and pay SO cents
