Novelty Races at the Fair.

The Board of Fair Directors at
their meeting last Saturday, decided
to have one or more novelty races at
the approaching fair, such as that
had on Field Day. In this race, the
farmer who has an extra fast walk
ing horse, has ut least an equal
which are usually slow walkers.
The race is one mile and half, the
first half ro be in walk, the second
a trot or pace and the third go-as-
you-please,--trot, pace or run.
Horses may go under saddle or in
harness. Each horse on reaching
the first half mile wire in walk,
gets the word "trot or pace" as he
finishes the second half mile he gets
orders, "go-as-youplease.' a fast
walking horse will finish his first
half mile while IA slow walker Is an
eighth or "a quarter out. Then the
fast walker trots or PAGES, and opens
a still wider gap between himself
and the slow walker, before
the latter reaches the wire
aud is at liberty to go as he
pleases The result is that he must
be an extra swift trotter, PAGER or
runner, to close the gap opened be-
tween him and the fast walker, be-
fore the latter can complete hismile
and half.
Already owners of good walking
horses are announcing their purpose
to be in this race, and before the
fair opens there will doubtless be
scores ready to enter. 1t proMises
to be the most popular feature Of the
speed program. Full particulars
viii be published in time to give
everybody chance.

Remember the Caucuses.

Primary meetings and caucuses
| for the several wards OF Mineral
Point city are called under the new
law, and notices published in this
Again we will attempt to briefly eN-
plain the modus-operandi: At the
preliminary meetings delegates are
nominated vive voce. The names of
all those so nominated are then
printed ON slip or ticket. Four
days later, on Monday, Aug lst the
regular caucuses are held, opening
at and closing at s p. IN. At this
caucus electors will receive ballots
with the names of candidates for
delegates previously nominated
printed thereon. The voter will take
one of these ballots and mark an IN"
after the name of each he wants to
have elected. Tickets so marked are
placed in a ballot box, and at the
close of the caucus the box is opened,
the tickets taken out and canvassed.
There are four delegates to be
chosen for the first ward, four for
the second, three for the third and
three for the fourth, and voters in
each ward will check opposite the
names of as many candidates rs
there are delegates to be elect
ed for the ward. Special care
should be taken not to check oppo-
site more than the number of dele
gates to be chosen for the ward, as
to check against greater number
would necessitate the ballot being
declared void. The four names
having the highest number Of marks
opposite them in the first and second
wards, and the three having the
highest number in the third and
fourth wards will be elected. No
tickets except those furnished by
the inspectors can be voted. In
spectOrs at each caucus should be
provided with copy of the law, and
prepared to give information when
desired.

WORK OF THE NEXT CONGRESS.

Upon the work of the next congress
will be based to a very large extent,
the issues of the campaign of 1900 IF
the congress that is elected next Tues
day shall be Republican, its chief work
will be to complete the programme out
lined in 1897, when the president con-
vened congress in extra session. In the
line of tariff legislation that pro-
gramme was completed when the Ding
ley law was eXacted. There remains
nothing more to do in that direction.
The great task remaining to the Re
publican party in carrying out its pro
gramme is to complete the reform of
the currency. In a nutshell, that means
the enactment of legislation to
strengthen the existing gold standard
and to pass to the national banks the
power to issue money. Such is the work
of the next congress if it shall be I'M
der the control of the Republican party.
1t is to the interest of the people of
Utah. and of the whole nation, to pre-
vent the contamination of the Repub-
lican programme If that programme
can be carried out, it means that the
money power will be more strongly en-
trenched than ever.
The election of Mr.. Eldredge would
mean a vote in favor of this Repub-
lican programme and against the in
terests of the people of Utah. More
over, if the state should go Republican
in 1898 it would go back on silver and
its record made in '96, and would en-
courage the goldbugs to count upon it
coming into their column in 1900; it's
position would be that of an October
state which shows the drift for No
vember election.
Let Utah be true to silver and her
self. Let her representative in the next
congress not be man who will be vot-
ing to carry out the Republican pro-
gramme, the goldbug programme. Let
the work of the next congress be for
strengthening the silver cause and not
the gold cause. This can only be done
by electing Democratic congress.

CHICKENS GO HOME TO RoosT

gaiety of the present campaign so
much as the joke perpetrated upon the

D. c. Dunbar. the owner of the Tribune

of the so-called A. 2. A. In his enthu-
siasm, the Tribune manager has de-
clared editorially that all members Of

EXPENSES OF THE WAR

Arthur Brown is laboring hard for
the election to congress of his co-labor-
er OF 1896. Mr.. Eldredge deserves the
support Mr. Brown is giving him this
year. After the st. Louis convention
when silver Republicans We're murmur-
ing against Brown, not only on account
of his action there but in the senate.
Alma Eldredge was one of the few who
stood by the senator.
But in his zeal to secure Eldredge's
election Mr.. Brown is making some
wild assertions. He is claiming that
Senator Rawlins and Judge King voted
for the war, but refused TO vote money
to carry it on.
The Democrats in congress voted for
SS7i OOOO 600, or more than twice what
was needed TO carry on the war What
they objected to was voting for bonds
that the Republicans were determined
to issue regardless of their necessity.
The Democratic proposition was to
avoid any increase Of the interest
bearing Indebtedness.
At the beginning of the war there
was over S2o0.O00,OOO in the national
treasury The Democrats wanted that
used before borrowing more: they
wanted $4,000, 900 Of the silver seignor-
age coined and put in circulation;
then, if that were insufficient they pro
posed the issuance of 500, 100000 Of
non-interest bearing treasury notes:
and they supported the war revenue
measure which provides at least $15O.-
100000 per year.
Democrats assented to all this. but
nothing would satisfy Republicans ex-
cept an increase of the interest-bear-
ing deb; they were determined on a
bond issue.
The actual expense Of conducting the
war UP 20 and including the 18th dav
of August, when the protocol was
signed. was SOS, OOO. GOO. The official
estimate of the entire expense until
everything is adjusted is. including the
actual cost already given, $l55, OOO. 600.
why should Senator Rawlins or
Judge King vote for more than $780,
100000 of an appropriation to carry on
the war when only $l55. 900 600 was re.

The LEGISLATURE.


1t is essential to the welfare of the
cause of free silver that a Democratic
legislature be elected this year. It is
essential to the welfare of every inter-
est of the people of Utah that Dem
ocratic legislature be elected this
year.
The election of a Democratic legisla-
ture means the election of a Demo-
cratic senator, and advocate of the
free, unlimited and independent coin
age of silver.
The election of a Republican legis-
lature means the election of Re-
publican senator who viii be an advo-
cate of the administration policy OF

FARMERS AND DiNeLEYlsM.


The local organ of Hanna's party
says that it has explained why wheat
has fallen more than dollar bushel
under the Dingley tariff.
Its explanation. whatever it was,
seems to have been lost entirely on AL
ma Eldredge, John Henry Smith, Arthur
Thomas, Arthur Brown and the rest of
the McKinleyites who are telling of bet
ter prices and prosperity as a result of
Dingleyism.
The Tribune did say this, however:
Mr.. Dingley and the whole band are
telling of the increased prosperity. The
whole band know that they are lying,
and that they are trying to deceive the
people"
And the market reports bear out this
criticism of the prosperity band.
Six months ago wheat brought SLIT
in the New York market.
Yesterday the same grade of wheat
in the same market brought but 6624
cents per bushel.
This is an argument Utah farmers
can understand.
