The school houses throughout the coun-

to such an extent that twe-thrds of them

tho most disoouraglng part of 1t. is the
statement that no public funds OF any

SOME NEW ORLEANS COMMENT.

While the New Orleans people HAYS
been giving generously to tho relief of

Orleans papers find It impossible TO con.
eeh the rambling spirit OF commercial
jealousy. or to refrain from giving a
wounded rival sly punch In the ribs.
In a recent issue OF tho New Orleans
stntes, ostenslbly applauding Galveston's
pluoky determination to rebuild, the mag
nitude OF the undertaking is not only OK
aggerated but the possibility OF the fire.

tides break upon the city, every householder

STATEMENT FROM POWERS.
VIII Not Make IA Contest for the
Senutorshlp.


Salt Lake. Utah. September 81 Tho
following statement has been given to
the public by Judge o. w. Powers, who
WIS recently appointed United States sem
ator from Utah by Acting Governor Me-
beker:
While there can bs no question hut
that MIR. Nebeker was governor in the
absence OF Governor Wells and Secretary
Hammond from the State. and that he
had power to appoint senator, the
precedent in the Quay case makes 1t
clear mat his appointee would not ho
seated. Our democratic State chairman,
Mr.. Burton is OF the opinion that can
be of more aervlce TO the party on the
ELECTORAL ticket than In making a con
test. In addition / have no desire 10
draw the salary pending a contest while
am convinced in advance that the seat
would be refused. Hence unless the Ma
tlonal committee shall desire me TO take
action, | shall not accept the appoint
ment. At FIRST 1t appeared to me that
should make the Tight and thus draw
attention once more, as urged by the
democratic party for constitutional
amendment providing for the election OF
senators by the people, but my sober
judgment IS to the contrary. | appreciate
Governor Nebcker's confidence aud shall
always cherish the compliment.
