be sufficient to nominate those who
may be seeking an office. but the party
should seek the very best men to nomi-
nate for candidates. The place to in

primaries. To them all Democrats

the convention those who win go there

men in whom all the people viii have
confidence. IF primaries are packed.
the convention viii be, and the result of
its labors viii be unsatisfactory. most

When the Democratic convention for
the nomination of city ticket assem-
bles it should have a, thorough under
standing of the condition of affairs in
the city and then nominate those men
to the various offices who are best quail
flied to deal with the affairs of the city
as they should be and whose aim will
be to give the people of Salt Lake City
the best government they have ever
had. If this is done there need be no
apprehension as to Democratic success;
if it is not, a walk-over is by no means
certain.

TALES OF THE DAY.

Some of the Office holders among them
a Georgia Democrat, were telling stories
lately. and the Georgian related the fol-
lowing ON the late Speaker Crisp:
Il was. election day and the Repub-
licans had put up a strong fight. Proni-
nent III their ranks was an old darkey,
Tom. All day long he hovered around the
polls and in an iEnpromptu procession car
ried transparency. ln the evening Mr..
Crisp was standing in front of his hotel,
when old Tom sided hashfuily up and re-
quested the present of 6 collar.
What, Tom?9 said Mr. Crisp you
have the audacaty to come here and ask
ME fer a dollar after working hard
against me all day."

a PoEsoNER OF BEDS.

Some gentlemen Of Baltimore county,
Maryland, who have associated them
selves in a club, began, some four or
five years ago. the rearing Of English
pheagants at their ducking shore. To
successfully rear the birds two acres
of land were Enclosed with wire net
ting ten feet high and covered over
with netting. Adjoining this enclosure
says the Baltimore Sun, is an eight
acre lot surrounded by a high wire net
fence, but with no net overhead. The
young birds which were Matched in the
smaller enclosure were permitted to run
in the larger, and when they became
large enough to fly they could escape
from the pen, and in this way it was
expected to stock the surrounding
country with this most delicious and
beautiful bird The pheasants which
were brought from England thrived in
their new home and increased rapidly.
A few days ago some miscreant
poisoned nearly two thousand of these
birds, While year ago three thousand
of them died from eating poisoned
wheat. The man who was guilty Of
this last crime was tried and convicted
and sentenced to three years In the
house of correction. The reason of his
sentence to detention in the house of
correction was a defect in the criminal
law of Maryland. there being no provi-
sion covering the case.
Men who Will commit such crimes as
are here described are in every sense
of the word public enemies. They
wantonly destroy that which is intend
ed for the public good. and they en-
danger the lives Of people. The gentle
men who were rearing the pheasants
were trying to stock the country with
them without single expense to the
country. If any farmer desired to Sc
cure birds for breeding purposes he
could procure them from the club with
out expense. Why on earth. then.
should any one wish to destroy these
beautiful and useful birds? Only one
who is innately wicked could do SO.
When the villain who was guilty of this
hand against every man in Baltimore
county. What could be the motive of
such man? Decent people find it i'm
possible to assign one save that Of gen
eral depravity. IF The miscreant is
found he should be dealt with as Sc
yerely as the law allows. while the laws
of Maryland should be so amended as
to permit such cases to be dealt with
as they should be.

We believe the Democrats VIII carry
the election in this city this fall, but it
would be a very grave error for them to
assume they are going to have a walk
over, as such assumptions always are.
When made they lead to carelessness
and heedlessness, and there is not that
care in the selection OF candidates nor
that solicitude over the chances of their
election that there should be- This al

evil effects of it. This relief the Demo-
Gratis can give them. but to do SO they

WILL HOLD CUBA.

Nothing could be more natural than
the determination or Spain to hold Gu
ba- 1t is such a determination as any
country would make, While SPANS
straits are so great that she cannot
even think Of doing otherwise. But can
Spain hold Cuba? That is a most i'm
portant question. When a Spaniard
says that a country whose call for
military loans was subscribed four
times over and which has sent 100000
soldiers to Cuba is not in the impov-
erished state so often described, he
boasts rather than considers the ac-
tual condition of affairs. The very facts
he cites are the best evidence of the
desperateness of the case he undertakes
to defend. With an army of 100000 SOL
diers in Cuba and with the great ex-
penditure OF treasure she has made,
Spain should have suppressed the re-
bellion. But she has not and she seems
no nearer doing it, if so near, than she
did two years ago. That she will con-
tinue to make tremendous efforts to
hold Cuba, efforts that it now looks as
LuOuSH sic COuAu IOl AidhC, lhCAG is

Her honor is at stake, likewise her
prestige and position in Europe, and
when a nation has all these at stake she
will do giants work though it may
all be futile. Heretofore Spain has sue
ceeded in holding Cuba when it seemed
impossible and she may repeat What
she has done. Should the United States
or any other f1rgt-class power recognize
Cuba's independence, SPANS hold
would be so Ioosened that it would soon
be shaken off. VIII this or some other
country recognize Cuba's independence?

HoNIE AGAIN.

Hon. W. J. Bryan has returned to
his home in Nebraska after an absence
of three months. Most of that time
he has spent in the west where he was
received with an enthusiasm that was
almost without q parallel. Since last
November he has Travelled almost over
the entire Union, and everywhere he
was treated with marked consideration.
He has come to know the American
people as few men have ever known
them, while his knowledge of the ply
steal conditions Of the country is far
greater than most men ever attain. He
has Travelled over the country as a de-
feated candidate but not as a detected
or Respondent one. He has been the
very embodiment Of optimism. and this
to such marked degree that it has
challenged the admiration of his bit
terest political enemies. His conduct
since his defeat and the manly way
in which he has taken it, is truly re-
markable and must challenge the adj
miration of all who care for a man.
He has proven himself d splendid speci-
men of American manhood
Mr.. Bryan returns to his home be-
lieving that the silver sentiment has
received an impetus in the past few
months. at lsast he said he found it
fourishing. He asserts that bimetal-
ism will be as live an issue three
years hence as it was last year 1t
doubtless will be unless free coinage
shall be restored in the meantime, a
most unlikely thing.

journeyings and that he reached home

A HOLIDAY RHYME.

Oh, the merry month of August
When the holidays are due,
When you hasten to the seaside
And the neighbors hasten, too.
When the smile is on the ocean,
When the blue is in the sky,
When the winds are low and balmy,
And the hills are rather high.
When the merry thrush's piping
Wakes the squirrel in the dell,
When the flea is blithe and cheerful,
And the wasp is very well.
When the ozone from the ocean
Sends its magic through your blood,
And the lissom caterpillar
Plays the tTapeze with your stud.
Oh. the merry month of August!

When you leave your cares behind you,
And they follow by next train
