ANTHONY CORCORAN,
JOHN L. WALLACE,

CHARLES A. BROWN.
BY their attorneys, L. +. Owen, and r.
b Comstock
John +. Wallace appeared before Notary
Public William +. Barry and swore TO
the truth of the statements made i'm the
above petition.
Mr.. Comstock said that he thought a
fair construction Of section four of chap
ter II Of the General Laws, which relates
to secret voting, would show the petition
or had the right TO the writ, for if the
two per cent. of the vote cast was To ap-
ply 10 every particular Office the law
would have SO stated.
Attorney General Y. c. Dubois raised
the point that there was no mention in
the call for the caucus of an intention to
make nominations for Senator and Repre-
sentatives.
~. Comstock declared the point raised
10y the attorney general to DC u frivolous
one. AS To the suggestion made by Judge
Tilllnghast that the nominations might
be made on nomination papers, Mr.. Com
stock argued that it was doubtful If l25
mon met together and made nominations
they could call themselves the Democratic
party and make nominations. He said
that the Secretary of States letter showed
that the only point in issue was as TO
whether the Democrats having failed to
make nominations in the town of Johns
ton this year.
Attorney General Dubois argued that
all there was 20 be considered was
whether or not the party having abandon
ed the right TO make nominations in one
year for any Office were not prevented by
fair construction Of the laws from here
after making nominations for that office.
Mr.. Owen, who was associated with
Mr.. ComstUck for the petitioners, cx-
pressed surprise at the brcyity of the
Attorney Generals argument and said
no reason had been given why the writ
should not issue. He pronounced the
construction put upon the law by the Soc
rotary of state very narrow one. Mr..
Owen further argued that the Legislature
did not intend to restrict nominations
Judge Rogers said he did rot see If the
Attorney General 5 contention was right,
how political party could rchabilliate
itself so that IL could make nominations
for an Office which it once failed to do
Judge Stinoss announced the decision
of the court and said the court held that
any party that, at preceding election
might east two per cent. of the vote
might at the next election nominate and
have the nominations put upon the official
ballot for any Office to be voted for mt the
election for which the nominations were
made.

THE COTTON AND GRAIN MARKET.

THE COTTON AND GRAIN MARKET.
Cotton opened steady with very light trad
ing and no features, but il was the opinion
that the development of any buying power in
this market, under the present conditions,
would stimulate prices substantially.
Price, Mccormick 81 Co wired weeden. Ken
dali a. Co. today: 'The Liverpool arrival
market was dull and featureless at the open
ing The spot demand was limited, the sales
aggregating only 1000 bales at unchanged
prices. The advices from the food districts
show no improvement and little progress has
been made in preparing for the new crop. AS
the season will be late one at the best, it is
difficult to understand why there should not
develop an increased interest in the possipili-
ties of the cotton market. Receipts today
were between 6OOO and 7O00, agaiIkt 1851 last
week and II, l47 last year"
Wheat was stronger after the opening and
acted firmer. The advices to Sullivan Bros a.
Co. insist that whatever may be done in May,
the new crop should not be purchased above
20 cents. A private Liverpool cable also states
that there seems TO be no chance of improve
ment in the market. The Russian and Danu-
bian offerings are very large, and these coun-
tries are underselling the American wheat.
In London this morning wheat cargoes were
easy; corn cargoes quiet The English coun-
try markets were quiet. In Liverpool " heat
and corn were quiet.
Paine, Webber a. Co. say today that wheat
prices seldom make quick response to either
bullish or bearish supply conditions. High
values produce increased acreage and low
prices decreased acreage Of all grains. Rise
and fall are thus equalized, with supply and
demand always the eventual determining fac
tor. Scarcity caused the rise in this wheat
crop and bids fair to continue it for another
crop.

THE SILVER EDUCATIONAL
CAMP AIGN.

There will arrive in Salt Lake City
today Senator James K. Jones, chair
man Of the National Democratic com
mittee, and Mr.. Daniel ]. Campau
chairman of the National Democratic
executive committee. The object of
| their visit is to confer with prominent
advocates of the free coinage of silver
concerning measures to be taken to
carry on the educational campaign
steadily until the election in 1900.
That is a very important matter. The
interest in the silver question aroused
in the last campaign should not be
permitted TO lapse, and how best to
prevent it is a question the solution of
which is not easy. It is an impossi-
bility to keep up anything like a cam
paign in favor of silver or anything
else without the stimulus of an cleo
ton. To attempt it without this slim
illus is TO make it pail upon the peo-
pie; it acquires very largely the nature
of an academic discussion, always a
thing apt to become the means of de-
feating the end sought. No doubt
Senator Jones and the other silver
leaders have given the matter
the greatest thought and atten-
ton and will be prepared to
suggest such plans as will be likely to
commend themselves to all interested
in the free silver propaganda. Their
western visit viii acquaint them with
public sentiment on the silver question
and enable them to formulate such
plans as will best accomplish the OBJ
ject sought. They will find the people |
of Utah quite as ardent advocates of |
free silver as any in the country. The |
people viii also be glad to welcome |
them to the state. Their mission is in |
the best interests of the whole people; |
may success attend their efforts.

again, and again write the date of his
visit Many of the Norwegians hosts
doubted if he would live to keep his
word, for the plans of his voyage were
regarded by them, as we'll as by others
better able to decide, as bold to and
beyond the point of rashness. But
Nensen came back. and after he had
received stately and solemn welcome
from the magnates of the ROYAL Geo
graphical society, he remembered his
pledge to the Sayages and kept it. The
occasion was marked by exercises the
reverse of stately and solemn, but per-
haps not the less gratifying on that
account. In responding to the-health
drunk in his honor DR.. Nansen said
that no one was better qualified to pose
as a real savage than he, since he had
just lived fifteen months with no soap
and almost no water subsisting mean
while on fare composed entirely of
raw meat and blubber AT the con-
clusion of his speech the explorer took
a pencil and on the wall OF the dining
room, immediately over his old sigma
ture, wrote "Fridtjop Nansen. Febru-
airy, 1897" and drew a rough map of
the north polar region, marking upon
it the highest point he reeched-S6 de-
grees north-and the date at which he
arrived there. April 8, 1895.

THE WOOL SCHEDULE.

The new tariff bill is already under
discussion by the ways and means
committee, but it is scarcely probable
any material changes will be made in
it as it came from the old committee.
One schedule, X. which has to do with
wool and woolens, may possibly be
modified, because the wool men and
the wooden manufacturers could not
come together on it when the tariff
| hearings were on, and so the Mckinley
schedule was adopted entire. 1t does
not meet with the approval of the
members of the New York Wool ex-
change at all. The president of the
exchange says of the schedule:
81 don't think the schedule, as rec
commended, will pass the house. In my
opinion, it would be better for the in
terests of all concerned in the wool
trade if the rates were fixed at about
one-third less than the old Mckinley
standard. The manufacturers appre-
ciate this. At first, under the high
protective tariff of the MCKINLEY bill
they prospered considerably, but a re-
$1,000
a moderate rate is better for them. The
growers, who maintain that all classes
of wool can be produced in this coun-
try. are in error. The problem is q
difficult one. but why can't reciprocity
solve it? President Mckinley pledged
himself to policy of reciprocity in
the matter of tariff as far as it could
be applied. Why cannot it be tried to
straighten out this vexed question of
wool?"
The wool rates of the Mckinley bill
did not bring prosperity to the wool
growers; in fact under it the price of
wool went down all the time. while its
ehects upon the wooden manufacturing
interests were simply disastrous. If it
again becomes law it will be very in
teresting to watch what its effect unon |
the price of wool and woolens will be. |
What hope the wool growers can base
upon it so far as affecting them bene- |
hcially it is hard to see

cARsoN's RED LETTER DAY.

This will be Carson's red letter day.
The town itself may perish from the
earth but it's name will live forever.
Today will be a proud one in its MIS-
| tory, and when the crowds are gone
and the hush of the towns normal
| condition is upon it again, the inhabit-
ants will, in vision, see the great
arena filled again, all watching the
modern gladiators. And what a her
| itage the memories OF the great mill
will be for future generations of Car
sonites, They will cherish them much
as the children of Massachusetts cher
ish the memories of Lexington and
Bunker Hill. Then it is sure to be a
great mill for Corbett and Fitzsim-
mons have such regard for each
other. Corbett expresses his regard
for Fitzsimmons in these terms:
After the insults that man has
heaped on me, 1 would be ashamed of
myself if 1 pretended to be his friend
and when / take a mans hand 1t is In
token of friendship and liking. l am
not his friend and do not ever expect
to be. I will take his hand in the ring
before the fight, following the old prac-
Ilc6, as eNlQeuCt tlidl tl1clC 10 liO AA1o-AASO
in my heart, and that the fight is only
a contest for supremacy. If he whips
me 1 will take his hand in acknowl-
edgement of the fact that when he
claimed to be a better man than he
did not lie, and because I have always
said I'd shake hands with him when he
whipped me. One thing / can't do, and
that is to pretend to friendship L do
not feel.
But Fitzsimmons has fully as much
regard for Corbett as Corbett has for
him. He says:
I have not yet forgotten the time he
spat in my face in Philadelphia, while
his associates held my hands. l have
not forgotten the insults he has heaped
upon me through the public press and
to my friends. 1 recall without effort
the readiness with which he h - al
ways posed as Gentleman Jim, 49, 1
ask the public whether or not he is en-
titled to such distinction. l am not
unduly excited or angered at his ac-
ton, but I herewith give notice to
Gentleman JIM and the people who
are interested in him that when we
stand up before each other on the 18th
1 will fight a square fight, an honorable
fight, but there shall be no mercy, no
quarter, no tenderness. L will fight
him to the bitter end AMI conclude
this issue and wipe out his insults.
All this insures that there will be
enough personal feeling on either side
to give great zest to the contest, and
a contest without zest is flatter than
stale beer One or the other of the
champions of the world (they both
claim that honor(?)) will be licked.
The regret is that they cannot both
be licked, for both deserve to be.
