SILVER IN TIE LOCAL CAM
PAIGM,

Promoters of the non-partfsan move
ment say that the silver question has
no proper place in our municipal cam
paign. They may believe this, but are
they right? One of the pleas they
make in behalf of nom partisanship in
the municipal campaign is that the
burdens that rest upon the people have
become so great that they are no lon
ger bearable. That is true, but do they
are heavy and the people find it diff
hcult matter to pay them. If the peo-
pie were really enjoying that prosper
ity about which they hear so much and
Of which they see so little, their taxes
would not rest upon them so heavily
as they do. And why are they not en-
joying prosperity? Because the great
source of prosperity in Utah and the
nation has been cut off in the destruc-
ticn Of the silver industry by adverse
legislation. If the pernicious anti-sil-
yer legislation now on the federal
statute books we're removed and the
free coinage of silver restored, how long
would it be before the mines of Utah
would all be in fun blast and a mar
llet for everything the people of Utah
can produce be furnished? Not only
this. but it would only be a year or
two before the population of the state
would be nearly ii not quite doubled.
Then the burdens that now rest upon
the people would be lightened and little
or nothing would be said about their
weight the people could carry them
easily for they would have the means
for carrying them.
That there has been bad and extrav-
agant management of the affairs of
this city no one disputes but it does
not lie in the power of any bipartisan
administration to give the citizens re
lief from the cause of their great dis
tress, which is the fact that Utah's
silver mines are idle. Anyone must
see that the matter of taxes is not the
sole cause Of the distress of the peo-
pie. They are heavy because their pro-
perty has deprecated so much and
there is no way by which they can en-
hance its value. The cause of the de-
probation in the value of their property
is the decline in the price of silver
And yet there are those who say that
the silver question has nothing to do
with municipal matters. It is the key
to al our financial troubles.

DEMOCRATIC DECLARATIONS
ABOUT INJuNCTIoNs.

Democrats everywhere are making
declarations against government by in
junction And it is right that they
should, for this form OF government has
been extended very greatly this past
summer. This Democratic condemna-
tion of government by Injunction is as
prevalent in the far eastern states as
in the far western ones. Only a few
days. ago it was twice condemned by
Massachusetts Democrats, in Worces-
ter and in Faneuil Han, Boston The
Worcester convention resolved:
''The right of trial by jury is our
sacred inheritance and shall not. with
our consent, be impaired. But today
great corporations demand from our
courss of equity, blinded by the in
terests Of capital, injunctions that for
bid wordngmen from enjoying that in
alienable rights and privileges of free
men,"
The Fanuel Hall resolution was in
these words:
We demand that combinations of
laborers, formed without malicious in
tent and using peaceable methods, shall
be permitted by statute and shall not
be restricted by injunctions."
No matter how much Democrats may
differ on the financial question there is
no difference of opinion as to the proper
sphere Of government and the necessity
for restraining it to that sphere.
But has anybody seen any condem-
nation Of government by injunction by
any Republican convention?

Several persons were more or less
seriously burned and bruised While

Before being discovered the fire got
such a start that the citizens of the
town, which has population of 1900,
had hard work in getting the flames
under control. In addition to this the
water was very scarce and most of the
wells were surrounded by fire which

Those VINO favor the drawing of party
lines will for honesty of purpose and in
teGrity in general, size up to good ad-
vantage alongside of our non-partisan
friends. There is not a man in the non
partisan move, if he has the usual altot-

the people of this country into parties. nor
is he apt to be any more honest man than
his neighbor who cannot agree with him.
In fact, 1T appears TO us that the ~

indeed, for it is generally recognized that
his party does not have an even show OF

In card which President Woodruff
addressed ''To Az Whom it May Con-
cern," and which appeared in tha
Deseret News October Il, 1895, he said:
Every man has his own free agency
He has the right to Withdraw fr-cn his
quorum. or the church if he wishes.
But White he remains in mis- quorum, or
in tlle church. we think he SHOULD be
subject to Gaie same rules that we are
ourselves. But that duty does not re-
quire amy man to withdraw from the
Democratic or Republican party, or 10
give up his political principles"
President Woodruff made all these
statements in his official capacity and
i'm none other and they are irrecuncil-
able. In express terms he bids his pso-
pie unite in business and polGres, tens
them that parties ties amount to
nothing. Do party ties amount TO
nothing? Has the division on party
lines in Utah been but hollow mocka-
~. a. diversion and not division? We
belteve the people Of Utah We're sincere
IN t1elr division, that they adhered to
the pr3nctEfles of Democracy or of Re
publicacS=gn because they believe than;
and we s.lE7 believe in their honesty and
sincerity
President Woodruff bids his coreh-
glonlzlts TO unite in politics. If they do
this, is there any other alternative for
those Who are not his coreligionsts but
to ua1te in Dolitice? And what would
that be but return to those old con
drticns Which all have believed had
passed away forever? The only differ
erce would be that NOW Utah is state
instead of a territory. President Wood
ruff does nat tell the people to unite in
municipal politics merely; ne also bids
them urtte in state pclttics. In ihis he
is nIc0t consistent. fer if it Is a coed
thing 10 aAeolca party lines in NUM-
cipal affairs it Is equally as good a
thing to abolish them in state affairs.
And this is a point on which The Her
aid. in its opposition to the n1n-parti-
san movement, mas insisted. The Her
aid has further insisted that if non
partisansaip SHOULD be successful in the
municipal election an effort would be
made TO extend it to state elections.
And now President Woodruff recon-
nnends this very thing
It is certainly 10 be regretted that
President Woodruff Should have in
jecaed politics pure and simple INTO glis
sermon Yesterday and advised the aaop-
ton of a course that if pursued could
not fail TO result IN at least a partial if
not complete restoration. of ocd condi-
tons with ain thetr bitterness and
anirrostties. That which he recommends
would not remove any of the evils from
which qlle people may be suffering but
would add others innumerabie and in
fnitely worse. As we said but few
days since, st is better TO bear those
Ills we have than fly to others that we
know not Of.

Burned TO Death.

Red Bluff, Cal. Oct. 6.-Mrs. C. Vol
ker, wife of Conrad Volker, a pioneer
resident of this place, was burned to
death at his home on Jefferson street
last night about 1870 While descend
ing the cellar stairs with a lighted
lamp, she stumbled and fell, breaking
the lamp. She fell in such a way that
she was suspended and helpless over
the burning oil and before she could be
rescued by her husband was fearfully
burned. DR.. Cameron was immediately
summoned but could be of little assist
ance and she died at o'clock this
morning,
