One of the saving graces of our form
Of government is that the party which
comes under this category has such un-
restricted right to express Its discon-
tent. If it has just grievances to COM
plain of-and no great party of discon-
tent is ever formed without just griev-
ances-and if 1t holds together for
reasonable time and fights as Americans
know how to fight for their rights, it is
sure to win. Thus is accomplished a
bloodless revolution. Thus are our laws
amended and our systems reformed In
no other manner can popular govern
ment be maintained. No political party
Is good enough to remain In power al
ways.
The herald., 1898-09-13

So, If Mr.. Waters will make slight
amendment in his phraseology as sug-
gested, and bring the discussion to a
courteous basis, we shall willingly al
low his indictment that the fusion
tented elements of this country are
gravitating.

two railways in operation, with total
mileage of 2031h miles. They employ
only 81 foreigners, of whom four are
engineers, managers and division su-
perintendents. The operatives are prac-

not compete with them. The highest
salaried natives are the telegraph op-

0Gunsling'' Davis.

Everybody remembers "Gunsling'
Davis of the Sixteenth infantry. the
crack shot of the regiment, who used
to be at Fort Douglas. A soldier who
was in town yesterday. and who fought
alongside the sharpshooter at Santiago,
brings word of "Gunsling," and a story,
the facts of which will be at once rec
ognized as characteristic OF the vet
eran.
Davis was in the fore rank, almost in
the city, in fact, while The fight was
going on, and his business it was to
pick Off" every Spaniard who showed
himself He had been doing very nicely
in this line, and lodged from place to
place to avoid the bullets of his sharp
shooter competitors. He would kneel
down to load and quickly arise to fire,
but the enemy caught the range and
decided that a shell from a cannon was
about the only effective way to check
his play of havoc. The shells followed
in quick succession, and came uacom-
fortably close to their intended desti-
nation. Davis was upon his knees when
a shot struck rear him and threw
gravel all over MIN. His breast, which
he had barred on account of the heat,
caught the full force of some of the
little stones and received scars which
can be seen today, but Davis coolly
arose, looked at the wounds for a mo-
fnent ana commented: well, damn
by skin" Then he continued the fight
More determined than ever.

President Cornish leaves the city to-
night. This, at least, was his announce
ment lastsevening, and as he has COM
pleted his work he will not return for
some time. Mr.. Cornish will go north
on a tour of inspection, and about Sun
day evening will leave for Omaha and
New York.
When seen at the Knutsford last
evening, the genial president had Moth
ing to say, except that he had been
doing lot of work. Further than this
he refused to talk, explaining that no
feature worthy of mention in connec-
ton with his trip had developed.
Major Wilson, who went to Tintic
yesterday morning, but had not been
heard from last evening, although he
was expected home during the early af-
ternoon, will accompany Mr.. Cornish
east.
During his stay here Mr.. Cornish has
made an excellent impression. He is a
thorough business man, genial in his
manners always. He has seen some
thing of Utah and from now on will
be as much interested in the upbuilding
of the state as any of it's most progress
sive citizens. He is thoroughly con-
WINGED of the marvellous possibilities of
this commonwealth, and one of the re-
suits of his visit will be a marked i'm
provement in the service of the Short
Line, if it is possible to make it better.

Utah Bows at Manila.

Private Lombard of company B, First
Colorado, and Private Mills of company
F, same regiment, passed through the
city Thursday on their way home. They
are direct from Manila on furloughS
and have nothing but praise to offer
for the Utah batteries for the part they
took in the capture of the Philippine
capital. The Coloradoans fought side
by side with our boys in the trenches
on the night of the 31st of August, and
Mr.. Lombard was within speaking dis
lance of Captain Grant OF battery B.
He relates the story of the days events
as follows:
1T had been raining heavily all day
and night, and the Utah batteries had
geo bring their guns two miles to the
Rrenches. They started the work and
were out on the road when our men
asked them if they wanted any help.
They replied: No. we'll swing it in
and no sooner was it swung in than
it was in operation. That was the fight
on the road in the afternoon. That
night in the trenches was where the
fun really started. The rain was still
coming down in torrents, the men were
in line with their guns, and anXiously
awaiting the signal to fire on Manila.
Battery BIS gun nearest US was sighted
on the Spanish entertainments at 1850
yards. IT was loaded, and Captain
Grant stood ready with his hand on the
lanyard. Just as we heard the first
shot from the Olympia out in the bay,
he shouted, BE ready, boys-its for
Utah., and pulled the lanyard. The
old gun spoke out, and your boys of
battery B had fired the second shot in
the battle of Manila They didn't rest
neither did we. With a shout they
sprang to the gun again and kept up
an incessant fire, while we did all we
could with our smaller arms. This same
Utah gun had a sight shot off 1 saw
that, zoo. The corporal of the gun,
when The ball struck, fell fat on his
face, but was up again in a, minute and
giving orders like a veteran. 1 didn't
know his name. Ever after this the
Utah boys were highly respected, and
always will be. The regulars were
rather surprised when the distance be-
tween the Utah gun and its target was
measured, because of the accuracy in
sighting. 1t haG been set at Lose
yards by guess. and was found to be
Just exactly 1.o62 yards. So, of course
their work was very effective

Another Of the Santiago Heroes
Gets His Reward.
IS MAJOR OF VOLUNTEERS
I WILL PROBABLY BE SENT TO
] HUNTSVILLE, ALABAMA.
Captain Mcfarland of the Sixteenth,
Who Was Shot at San Juan, In
the "Gunsling' Davis, the
Famous sharpshooter of the Six
teenth-Utah Boys at Manila


Another hero of the campaign before
Santiago has reaped a just and agree
able reward for his gallantry. The joy
full word was received yesterday at
Fort Douglas that Captain J. J. Brere-
ton of the Twenty fourth infantry is
promoted to the office of major and
quartermaster of volunteers, and as 4
result the gentleman is a recipient OIL
many congratulations.
No further orders accompanied the
appointment, therefore Major Brereton
does not know to what division he will
be assigned, nor does he know the date
upon which he will leave the post, but
it is more than likely that he win go to
Huntsville. Ala, and that, too, in the
near future. The major viii be on de
tached service" for a time after his
departure, but ii is almost foregone
conclusion that his promotion of yes
terday is but the forerunner of pro-
motion in the regular army, namely,
from captain to major.
Major Brereton is well and faVorably
known among the officers of the army
and has many acquaintance in this
city. His home is in New jersey, where
he entered the military academy on
July /, 1873, graduating with high hon
ors. He was appointed second lieuten-
ant Of company K, Twenty-fourth in
fantry, in June, 1877, and three years
later passed a successful examination
rfer a first lieutenancy. AS a captain
he has commanded company G of the
same regiment.
Captain Brereton was foremost in the
famous charge and was seriously
wounded on the crest of San Juan hill
during the afternoon of the 1st Of July
His disability was Of short duration
however, his pluck and nerve carrying
him safely through the campaign. His
many friends will wish him the best Of
luck in his new field of duty

ship not christened with the native wine

managed to secure the pledge of the COM

the christening, and Miss Elizabeth
Stevenson, who will name the battleship,
inadvertently gave her promise to use
the wine selected by the committee. The
Wisconsin eXcursioniSts who arrived here
today brought the champagne with them.

should have been clandestinely secured
to a document to advertise a certain
brand of foreign wine. Owing to the
nature of the transaction and the fact
that several of the committee had been

CRUSHED ANIMALCULAE.
Singular Happening In Big Cotton
wood Canyon.

Recently the management of the
electric plant in Big Cottonwood cam
yon had occasion to shut off the water
and clean out the gravel which had
accumulated near the lower end of
the steel conduit. When Manager
Jones had let all the water out of the
conduit he attempted to enter for the
purpose of removing the gravel, when
his nose was assailed by one of the
loudest doors which ever greeted the
olfactories of man. issions of sui
cides who had drowned themselves in
the reservoir above and came down the
pipe crossed his mind and he prepared
to view the remains with becoming
solemnity.
But nothing was found inside at all,
and the matter was a mystery until it
was ascertained the odor was caused
by the death of countless millions of
animalculae overcome by the enormous
pressure of the water in the pipes
Jones thinks this is one of the most
singular instances of the kind on
record. After allowing a free passage
of air through the pipes for a time,
the offensive odor vanished, but it is
presumed that at any time the conduit
is opened similar results will follow.
