BIG CONSOLIDATION
OF SHOE INTERESTS
Romney and Robinson Compa-
MES Are Combined.
WILL ENLARGE FACTORY
FIFTY THOUSAND DOLLARS IN
VoLVED IN CHANGE.

The most important business change
of the year in Salt Lake took place
yesterday, when the Romney Shoe
company and the Robinson Bros COM
pany consolidated their manufacturing
and jobbing business. involving a deal
of over $50. 1000, and laying the founda-
ton for what is expected to develop
into one of the important business in
stitutions of the city.
Negotiations with this consolidation
in view have been il progress for sew
eral days, and all the details have not
yet been worked out. But it is known
that the capital stock of the new in
stitutiOn will be S50,000 equally di-
vided between the ROmneys and the
RobinsOns. The name of the new cor
pOratiOn has not Vet been decided upon,
nor have the officers been designated,
further than that z. c. Bassett, who
has for years been the secretary of the
Robinson Bros company, will be the
secretary of the new concern. An en-
tirely new incorporation may be eff
fected, or the two houses may combine
without making that necessary. An
inventory of all the stock in both con-
Germs has been taken in the last few
days, and nothing now remains to be
done except legalizing the details that
have been agreed upon.
Object of Consolidation.
The main object in the consolidation
is to combine the capital and working
force of the two concerns, and make it
possible to do a much greater business
than has been done heretofore. The
ROmney company has been composed
of George ROmney, ST., George Rom
ney, Jr., and his two brothers. The
business was wholly jobbing and was
under the management of George
ROmney, il. The Robinson company
was composed of Gill S. PeytOn, Ar
thur. John and Charles Robinson and
F. c. Bassett. It's factory has been in
operation for thirteen years and has
now a capacity for turning out over
100000 worth Of boots and shoes in a
year. One object of the consolidation
tory, while the jObbing end of the con-
Germ will handle the goods, as well as
the other lines shipped in from the east
as at present. In brief, the intention
is to carry a broader line of goods,
reach out farther in the jobbing dis
trict and secure a better share of the
local business.
The Robinson Bros. will conduct their
retail business independently of the
other: that branch of the business is
not included in the consolidation. The
deal will be completed and the officers
elected in a few days. OF course, the
ROmneys and the RobinsOns will be
the chief stockholders in the new cor
poration.

THE NATION TO INTERVENE.

A special from Washington an
nounces that the disfranchisement of
the Negro in the south has grown to
be such serious matter that it is
now time 10 take action. 1t has been
contended on the part of the south
that the intelligent white people can
not afford to be dominated by ignOr-
ance and that the restriction was
made in the interest of good govern
ment. But it is seen that the work
of disfranchisement is being pressed
in way to affect only the blacks and
not the ignorant whites. In some
states the right of suffrage is made
to rest solely upon the hereditary
possession of intelligence, in which
case Il man cannot vote whose father
could not read. Now, it is plain that
it is not a question of Negro dOmina-
ton, but determination to disfran-
chise the AfrO-American at any cost
or sacrifice of principle or honor. The
evidence of purpose to eliminate the
Negro vote from southern politics is
conclusive. The constitution makes
suffrage possible to the black man
and the south ignores the right. The
constitution pledges equality of right
to every citizen, but the south says
away with each and every preroga
tive not receiving their sanction In
magnanimity and fair dealing, the
Stifnfinn Trnpl1i1 canal pn
tion to all. but the south, in the spirit
of robbery and plunder, stands guilty
of high crimes and public larceny
which the national law forbids. To
prevent such an unwarranted assault
upon the constitution of which the
south has so long boasted to be the
sacred custodian. congress is now re-
solved to investigate and determine
the sincerity of the southern prOfes-
sionS. The president will hardly
longer withhold his influence in the
purpose of congress to rectify an evil
so fragrant in wrong and usurpatiOn.
He will find no further ground to Of
fer excuses or plead in mitigation of
high-handed outrages. The power of
congress 10 act is assured by the
fourteenth amendment and it was
adopted with the express purpose Of
preventing the south from doing
what it is now attempting to carry
out. When the right to vote is denied
to any male inhab abitant of any state
of these United States except for par
ticipation in rebellion or other
crime. it is provided that the basis
of representation shall be reduced in
proportion to the number of such
male citizens that shall be
borne to the whole number of
male citizens 81 years of age in that
state. This proposition cannot be
perverted upon technicality. 1t is
plain and undisputed statement
which admits of no question or race,
color or previous condition of servi-
tude. The question of disfranchise-
ment then becomes grave and
pressing necessity. There is no limi
tation of time upon the next session
in congress and it remains with the
republican leaders and the president
to act wisely and bravely. to have the
south right about and repeal those
laws instituted in robbery and in
open rebellion against our free con-
stitution.
