DURING the past campaign,
handsome Willie, of the Plain
Double Dealer, the would-be law
maker, tramped around over this
city and county, like a frosted-toed
chicken, baranguing the people
and trying to make them believe
that it would be far more beneficial
to the people of this country to
open up the mills and the factories
of the eastern states than it would
be to open up the mines of the
western states. And at the same
time the new Moses prophesied and
predicted that the country, and all
kinds of business throughout it,

PROSPERITY ABROAD.

TIE way IN which the business
interests of the United States are
recuperating, after learning of Nc
Kinley's election, is truly astonish-
ing.
The following took the situation
TO heart on the 18th inst, in the
manner and form following, that Is
to say:
Superior Bank, of Superior,
Wis, failed.
George F. Grassel & Co., of Gin
cinnati, dry goods merchants for
twenty years, assigned.
White & Howe, retail shoe deal
er, of Sioux City, Ia, croaked.
The Stetson & Post Sswmill Co.,
of Seattle, Wash, closed, throw
ing seventy men out OF employ
ment.
And on the 29th inst, 1t came
to pass, as follows, that is to say:
The Columbia Bank, of Mime
apOlis, failed to open its doors.
The Washington Bank, OF the
same place, flunked.
Commercial Bank, of Roanoke
Va, followed suit.
Farmers Trust Co., OF Sioux
City, Ia, busted.
Adolph Scheyer & Co., of Lead
vile, Colo, a wholesale liquor
house, dried up.
Atlas Bank, of Chicago, and the
National Bank of Illinois, found
themselves short of dough.
And the end is not yet.

The SENATORIAL CONTEST.

THE SENATORIAL CONTEST.
osLY q few days now and the
Democratic Legislature viii con.
vene and at once commence its
work. Its first and most important
duty VIII be the selection of a per-
son to represent Utah IN the SEN
ate of the United States for the
next ak years.
The Democratic party of Utah,
and of the nation as vel, Is pecu-
Harly blessed with eminent and &C
complished men. The Legislature,
therefore, will not have to rake the
State over In order to get q man
qualified for the exalted position.
There are at least q half score who
would do honor in representing any
of the commonvealths in our na-
tons council.
The Deseret Nescs and its angels
of light have done all in their power
to prejudice the people and the
Legislators-elect against the Hon.
Moses Thatcher as a candidate for
the Senate.
The Broad Ak does not desire to
champion the cause of any of the
Senatorial candidates, for they are
all good Democrats and eminently
fitted for the position to which they
aspire. But while we do not desire
to champion the cause of any, it is
our sworn and imperative duty as
a Democratic organ, to defend to
the utmost any or all of the aspi-
rants against every vile and unjust
attack. If we did not do 80 We
would be neglecting one of the pur-
poses of our existence.
From the fact that Mr.. Thatcher
has had differences with the Quorum
of Apostles, and that his deposal
from the quorum was the result of
such differences, should IN no wise
initiate against his candidacy for
the Senate. Is he not the same
gallant and fearless Democrat that
he always was? Has he turned
traitor in single instance to any
principle of Democracy? Is he not
the same kind and cultured gentle
nam that he was before the fall-out
with his brethren?
This ecclesiastical trouble should
not have the weight of a hair
against Mr.. Thatcher when his
name is presented to the Legisla-
ture for consideration. For IF it
does, the legislator who allows it to
influence him will violate the solemn
oath which he takes on the thresh-
old of his Legislative duties. Every
member of the Legislature before
he performs Q single Legislative act,
sWears that he will support and de-
fend the constitution of the State
of Utah. That constitution, among
other things, says: ''There shall be
no union of church and state, nor
shall any church dominate the State
or interfere with its functions.
The language quoted is unmis-
taxable, and what Legislator need
err If its mandate is constantly be-
fore him?
ALI that we ask, iand all that we
contend for, is that Mr.. Thatcher
be given an equal chance, and that
no man or unjust attack shall stand
As an obstacle in his path.
The Legislature, We believe, will
do its duty in this matter, and from
the candidates viii select Q man

The cashier took the little splinter Of
wood and passed the end of il over the
nose of the drowsy AngOra. The next in
slant puss emitted scream of anguish and
leaped many feet in the air. With tail
erect she clamhered up the wall, jumped
over the bar. overturned number of
glasses and bottles, and finally disappeared
through IN open trap into the cellar. where

ONE OF TWO WAYS,

The bladder was created for one PURPOSE
namely, receptacle for the urine. and as
such il is not liable to any form of disease
except by one OF two ways The first way
is from imperfect action of the kidneys.
The second way is from careless local
treatment OF other diseases.
CHIEF CAUSE.
Unhealthy urine from unhealthy kidneys
is the ciief cause of bladder troubles and
suffering so painful to many that life is
made miserable. The womb, like the blatl-
der, was created for one purpose and If
left alone il i s Utliatle to become diseased
except IN rare cases. When in position the
womb is situated back of and very close
to the bladder, and for that reason any
distress, disease, or inconvenience mani

urinary passage, is often by mist axe ut
tnbuted To female weakness or womb
trouble of some sort. The error is easily
made and may be as easily avoided hy
