COUNTY DEMOCRACY A0AiN GOES

Il magnificent reception, Irrespective OF
the fact that the notorious Twcnty-iirst
Ward primaries We're held only the day

As chairman Of the committee that
had rented and furnished the new head
quarters, Mr.. Burke arose TO make his
report. ana the applause which follow.
ID was long and loud. Men rose from
their seats, and standing on their chairs
waved their hats In the air and shouted
for the leader who had led the Demos

But while there were tumultuOus cheers
for Burke the 600 Democratic work

were half dozen speakers At the meet

Mayors name. This shows where the

the close Of the proceedings 1t was
moved, seconded and unanimously car

Democracy from taking any active

Republican leaders In thc'City Coun-

patriots in their efforts TO make politi.
cal capital ut the last meeting of the
City Council.
The incident arose out of an attempt
on the part Of the City Hall crowd in
the Council to make political capital
out of the arrangement for the re-.
Enumeration of the City Treasurer for
the ensuing two years.
The payroll candidate was. Of course.

political ball rolling by vctoing the
item in the annual appropriation bill
giving the Treasurer 10 per cent of the
money received AZ interest. He sug-
gcstcd the bill be amended by making
II 81 per cent. The Republican leaders
at once got onto the game and proceed.

Alderman Blake ut once moved to
further amend by making the compcn'

The result was that the compensation

THE NATIONAL GUARD


When the announcement came that
the guard would encamp with the reg
uiars and the militia of the surround
ing states, the militiaman's spirits rose
to full pressure. When the announce
ment came from the war department
that the guard would not encamp with
the regulars a valve seems to have been
opened, and the guardsman again re-
sumed his condition Of doubt and pes
simistic discomfort. SO many and
vividly pictured are the reports that
come to the citizen soldier of the joys
of the next camp that his spirits are
kept in a continual state of efferves-
cence, However. it is now more than
ever sure thing that the national
guard viii have the usual camp Of in
structiOn, perhaps at some place other
than the Lagoon. but il is even feared
/ that this park-like place will be chosen.
The guardsman hopes for something
new and more realistic this fall than
has heretofore been the case. He hopes
for camp in a place more remote and
less cultivated; a place where he can
be instructed in field maneuvers. It is
looked upon as quite probable that reg
ulars may be encamped with the boys,
but that hope is not to be too strongly
relied upon. lest it, too, fall through
That there viii be officers from the reg
Ular army detailed to assist in the in
struction is more than probable. At
worst il is believed there awaits the
national guard a better camp than it
has before had. although it has not
turned out TO be what was hoped and
expected.
The battery drilled in the street with
their 3-2-inch rifles last Monday The
boys put UP their usual high class drill.
II is to be regretted that the opportu-
mites for mounted drills are so unfa-
vorable- If this were not the case. it
would be hard to find a battery either
IN the militia or regular forces which
could surpass the Utah boys in their
drills and maneuvers. II the project

to turn out well TO target practice this
season, the scores being harder to make
on account of the new targets; and the

work than heretofore. 1t is highly i'm
portant that the men should have a
large number of record scores TO make
choice from when the annual report is
sent in.
Most of the Organizations are drilling
in the khaki uniform, that the men may
be more comfortable on these hot
nights.
Before going into camp this fall it
will be necessary for the guard to be
instructed in the pitching of a camp

man is provided with one half. which
he joins with that of his mate to make
shelter. The tent is new to the

Thus the unconquerable courage Of the
Union soldiers. in the short space Of 10
months almost exactly doubled the value
of the greenback and Of all the other
money and property depending upon its
appreciation.
We can get some little clearer figures
as to this.
In 1864 there were outstanding $431, :
1851 in greenbacks, with national bank
notes and other paper money making an
aggregate Of $3.50, 71S,964. The actual
value of this vast amount Of paper July
1. 1864, was only $322, 649, PAT. The actual
value of all the railroad stock, bank de-
posits, promissory notes, State, County
and city bonds, etc, amounting to billions
Of dollars was equally depressed. On the
LIST of July, 1865, the gold value of green

256,3355. Here was n direct increase in
that value alone of over 1910, 100000. The
United States bonded debt at the time
amounted to $2,3S1 800, 294. The gold
value of this July 1, 1864. was only $9O4.-
9S1, 81. The gold value Of the same July
l, 1860, was 1861, OIL .205. Therefore
the soldiers had in 10 months earned for
the bond holders, by their unconquerabie
bravery and fortitude, S7620S9,694, max
ing, with the enhancement of the value of
the paper money, more than 81 .000,OOO.-

II we add to this enormous amount the
still more enormous amount of the value
Of the State and other bonds, bank, rail
road and manufacturing stocks, requests,
promissOry notes, mortgages, deposits,
ETC., we shall find that by their stubborn
fortitude and gallant fighting the soldiers
put into the pockets of the mOneyed men
of the country more than would pay the
service pension to every soldier and widow
for a century at least.
These are undeniabie figures, which
should be all the time considered in con
nection with the statement of the amount
