THE FASHIONS.

Embroidered swiss is one Of the
old time favoritcs that have been ra-
vived.
The tulle dress this season is a
pronounced rival Of the shirt waist and
separate skirt costume. if not as eco.
nomical.
The shirt waist costume, with plain
but stylish shirt waist hats en- suite,
has become one of the notable features
of summer EOWninG.
Transparent yokcs and V shaped
vests Of good quality all over lace or
embroidery. or silk embroidered net,
are more popular than W.
Braid laces are liked for tusS9rs and
linen toilets. and in general the heay3
varieties such as Irish crochet are pre-
ferred to the delicate kinds.
Biscuit colored etamine is much uset
for smart afternoon costumes. 1t looks
remarkably well when combined with
chine silk in which pink is the pre-
dominating color.

FRUITS AND

The cherry likes a good soil, but is
very inpatient of much moisture. 1t
must have good drainage to do well.
With all flowers, If the seeds are not
wanted, it is an excellent rule to re.
move the seed vessels as O 0 as the
bloom fades.
Usually in the first year after the or.
chard is planted out the young trees
make a large growth. and this is the
best time to shape the tree.
In forcing straw berriec they should
not be allowed to overbear or the fruit
will be small. a moderate crop Of good
fruit is better than a large yield of
small berries.
Walnut, hickory, pecan ana other
nut trees make excellent shade along
the roadsides and in the pastures. The
cherry is about the only fruit tree suit
able for this purpose.
Begonias grow we'll in a light, sandy
loan. with a small addition of leaf
mold. They are quite at home in the
shade, but require a warm, moist TEN
perature to develop best.

The Water In Utah's Great Lake.

Salt lake is by no mean a saturated
solution of salt. yet it is five or six
times as rich in salts as the ocean and
nearly as strong as the Dead sea. In
per cent Of salt. the saturation point
not being reached until the salt forms
a little over a third Of the liquid.
There are all through the great basin
numerous saline lakes and ponds, but
none Of the size and Importance Of
this in Utah. Not infrequently they
axe shallow and entirely disappear
during the dryness and heat of sum-
mer, leaving to mark their sites only
a stretch of some acres-or it may be
miles-of clay or mud, entirely cover
ed with salt.

TALE OF A CIGARETTE.

Salt Lake was stirred up on Sunday
over the temporary disappearance Of n
Wcls-Fargo & Co. bank cashier named
Robertson, who was also an alderman. lie
left his home Saturday armed with shot
gun and a package OF cigarettes and took
TO the hills, with every appearance of n
man bent on suicide. Arrived at the citys
outskirts he was overtaken by Il rain
storm and took refuge in an unoccupicd
cabin in gulch, where he proceeded TO
make preparations for death. The roof
OF the cabin, however, was lcaky, and
the rain passing through drippcd upon
the dcspondcnt man within and wet his
cigarettes. Before taking the shot that
would have ended his life, had it struck n
vital spot, Robertson decided to smoke one
they were ruined by the rain. This gave
his thoughts a new turn and he reflected
that suicide was but a towards resource
besides, he could not die without one more
cigarette, and so his alternative was to
live and save his friends from humiia-
ton. Accordingly he returned to his
home with the shotgun in one hand, the
wet cigarettes in the other. and rcsolu-
tion in his heart to live out his term in
the Salt Lake city council, OF which he
was member. On Sunday night he gave
himself up, surrendered the gun and pro-
cured a dry cigarette. Today he is schcd-
ulcd TO confess his crime. His shortage
is said to be not less than $4,000, which
is the more remarkable from the fact
that only two months ago the Utah banh

DEMOCRATIC "ARGUMENT."

The devices TO which the national
democracy is reduced in the hope of
shaking its thirst for office shows that it
has abandoned all attempts to disprovc
the wisdom Of republican policies and the
rectitudc Of republican leadership. The
principles OF the republican party are
unassailable. Crystalized into law they
have restored prosperity to the country
and given it front rank among the nations
of the world Yet the democratic orators
and organs have hcsitated at no method,
however vile and illogical, to create dis
trust and division within the ranks OF the
party in power. They oppose every meas
ure introduced in congress by republi-,
can; they attack the army and hold it re-
sponsibe for every isolated case OF alleged
cruelty to the country's enemies and im-
pugn the veracity Of its officers under
oath; they charge the government with
imperalistic purposes and yet but recently
sought to cmbroi it IN a war with Great
Britain; they alege corrupt bargaining in
the selection Of an isthmian canal route
they abuse and msrepresent the president:
they hold republicans responsible for every
strike growing out of private differences
and withhold credit for every good result
OF republican rule they charged dis
honesty in China incapacity in the Philip
pines and bad faith in Cuba they revlc
republicans for supporting trusts that are
essential TO successful foreign COM
petition and the maintenance Of American
wages and they advocate the repeal of the
Dingley law which has made of every
workingnan in the land prosperous and
contented and Independent American
citizen by protecting Western agriculture
and Eastern manufacturing. These
charges of the democratic orators and
organs are made in a mixture Of ignorance
and malice and without a fact or figure
II support the attack. TO rail at the
money power as If no man had a right TO
acquire competence or conduct an en-
tcrprisc which means work and wages for
the people: to shed crocodile tears about
the wrongs OF 1aboring men who have not
yet forgotten the democratic panic of 1893;
and, with the arts of the demagogue, to
stir up strife and bitterness between
capital and labor whose interests are
idcntical-thcse are among the other de-
vices Of the democracy contrived with the
sole and selfish view of displacing the
tried and trusted republican party and
substituting the discrcdited, divided and
disgraced aggregation of political misfits
known as the national democracy.

NO COPPER TRUST.

An Eastern paper in an article on trusts
speaks of the copper trust
There is no copper trust. Half dozen
states in the Union have their own scpa-
rate and Independent copper mining and
reduction plants. In Montana there is no
sign Of a copper trust, as the leading
producers are engaged in a warfare which
has none of the earnarks Of bro!her1y love
or community Of interest. No qualified
American citizen in this state is denied the
right to discover, purchase, develop or dis
pose Of copper mine Market prices are
too much demoralizcd to Justify a suspi-
cion of trust manipulation. A copper
trust might be a good thing for Montana
If it contemplated fixing the price of the
red metal at living figure, for then all
men connected with copper mining might
know what TO expect business would be
good, employment abundant and confidence
general. Montana is just now suffering
because of lack OF understanding among
copper producers, so that the newspaper
which says there is copper trust here or
elsewhere is only advertising its own ig-
norance. There are corporations in Mon
tana engaged in producing copper, and they
are the backbone Of the states prosperity
in proportion to their disbursements. One
Of them pays out nearly $40 ao,ooo,ooo a year
among the people, asking in return only
a square deal in the courts and "A lcgiti
mate profit. At present its profit amounts
to exactly per cent on the par value Of
the stock. so there is not much room for
the cry Of monopoly. Another corporation
contemplates the erection of a 2,ooo-ton
smcltcr in the state this fall yet il is
not a monopoly nor a trust, though doubt
less there are men here who would like
to drive the enterprise out of the state,
as il will help TO make times prosperous
and deprive disturbers and mischief.
makers Of chance to live without work

copper trust here, no restraint Of enter
prise or Investment, or increase Of price
by agreement. Corporations are not
necessarily trusts, and trusts are not
necessarily hurtful. Any agreement by
which copper could be pu, up TO II cents
would be godscnd to every man, woman
and child in Montana, and il the copper
producers can bring about such rise by
legitimate means, the people OF Montana
would rise up and call them blessed.

MORE SENATORIAL SLUGGlNG.

1t is remarkable how little il takes TO
insult some of those hair-trigger states
men from the South Senator Beveridge's
offending seems to be that he referred to
certain remarks of Senator Bailey Of

did not seem TO think his language had
been unparliamentary. which so incensed
the burly Texan that he lcapcd at the
frail l1oosier, and seizing him about the
neck proceeded TO choke him until he
was black in the face" 1t required the
united efforts of Senators Hansbroueh of

rate the big Texan from the little man

1t is unfortunate for the good name
of the senate that the suppression of the

The attack of Senator Bailey upon
Senator Bevcrdgc was the act of bully

maintain its selfrcspect before the people
the strictcst discipline will have to be ap-
piled. or blackguardism will get the upper

the senate to indicate whether il is a self
