WHAT is THE REPUBLICAN,
PARITY


Under recent revelations, no sane
nan can contend but that the Repub-
lean patty is the party ofgold, and is
absolutely owned and controlled by
Boss Hanna. 10 matter II some Of our
Republican trends do claim TO be
friends Of silver. it cannot alter the
fact that their party is unalterable OPP
posed TO The peoples money. By adj.
bering to that party they cannot fail
but give aid to our common enemy nc
matier what their protcstatlons may
be. In last Mondays issue the Salt
Lake Rerald says in part:
"Republicans may refuse TO permit
Chairman Hanna to interfere in State
campaigns, but they must not forget
that each county organization is a part
Of the State organic hion, aud that
each State organization is part OF the
National organic ,ii0n,
There is but one Republican party
in The Nation, aud but one la the State
OF Utah"

Novel way to cIcnn MACHINERY.

The practice OF cleaning machinery
by means of blotting paper has been
established in German workshops. The
German workman formerly received on
an average $50 grams of cotton waste,
one new sponge cloth and one or two
renovated ones per week; now he is
supplied with $50 grams OF cotton
waste and eight to ten sheets of blot
ting paper, at a cost of 21s cents. in
stead of as formerly, ca cents. The
paper is not only cheaper but 1t can
not soil the machine with fibers and
dust, like sponge cloth and wooden ref
use, and II is far preferable to cotton
waste. Beyond this 4 is not so COM
bustible as other cleaning materials.

The effect of putting that class Of Re-
publicans, sel!-siyled "Silvcr Rcpub-

from which their leaders have been
unable to cXlricato them. The fact
that the Salt Lake County Republican

GO TO THE PRIMARIES.


Elsewhere in this issue will be found
the call ;or the Democratic primaries.
We want to earnestly urge upon all
Democrats their attendance. IL is at
the primaries where the voice Of the
people Is heard, aud upon the action OF
primaries depends the personnel Of our
officers, We have many times heard
objections urged 10y citizens against
candidates upon their ticket and yel
upon most occasions we have noticed
that those same kickers did not attend
the primaries where those candidates
were nominated or whore delegates
were chosen to represent the party in
convention. The primary Is the real
place where officers are made. and all
who desire good set OF public officers
should be in attendance,
Don't neglect the primaries. All
good Democrats should go and hel y
make their party ticket the perfect
ticket it can and should be.

SECRETARY LONG.

Discredits Torpedo story-No Suppressed
Telegram from sigsbee.
Washington, Feb. 1.-THE navy de-
partment absolutely discredits the story
that divers found an eight inch pereus-
sion hole In the bottom Of the Maine.
Secretary Long says that there is no
such thing as percussion hole; that
there is no eight inch torpedo aud that
there Ia no other way in which such a
hole could be accounted for. IL Is, Of
course, possible that shell exploding In
side the ship pierced hole OF that kind
In the outer skin, but that would be
readily revealed by the character Of the
angle and whether or not the skin was
bulged In or out around the puncture,
Secretary Long positively denies that
Captain Sigsbee has In any way In sup
pressed telegram expressed the opinion
that torpedo caused the disaster or that
IL came from an external cause. The
captain said on the contrary that he
could not venture TO express an opinion.
The navy department received dis.
patch this morning from Admiral Sicard,
in command OF the North Atlantic squad
ron, giving the details OF a court of In.
quiry to investigate the Maine disaster
as follows: Captain Sampson, president
Of the court; Captain Chadwick. Lieuten.
ant Commander Schroeder and Lieuten
ant Commander Mark. Sampson is the
commander Of the battleship Iowa, Chad
wick Is commander Of the New York,
Schroeder is the executive officer OF the
Massachusetts, and hurix is the execu.
tive officer OF the Vermont.
