The Herald editorial of Tuesday in
which it is suggested that the Repub-
licans and Americans" withdraw
their tickets in order that the Demo
cratic ticket be unanimously chosen
is a case of monumental assininity. 1t
reveals the weakness of the Demo-
cratic claims more than anything that
has recently occurred.

Questions regarding the sincerity
of their leaders are disturbing the
minds of the rank and file of the
American" party these days, and the
questions have been brought up by
the said leaders themselves. They
-(the rank and file)-were led
to believe in the first place
that the principle occasion for the or
ganization was Mormon domination
of the business of the city and state.
During the last few days those same
leaders, through their official organ,
have proven that, according to popu-
lation, the Mormons have not got
anything like their proportion of the
business of the city. This, naturally
has caused something of a reversion
of feeling; but when, on Thursday
last, the Tribune came out with the
statement, which, by the way, cannot
be disputed, that over 80 per cent of
the business frontage of sixteen
blocks on Main street, First, Second
and Third South streets, is owned by
Gentiles, the said rank and file find
it pretty hard to reconcile former
statements with present exploited
facts. They are asking themselves
the why and wherefore of all this fu-
rore and, failing to find satisfactory
answer in their own minds, are ask
ing to be shown. Unless the Boss can
think of something new to give them,
and that pretty soon, there will be
something doing, but it will not be in
the American" camp.

The American party is getting des-
perate in its attempts to drive away
voters from the Republicans to the
Democrats. They know that their
only hope of success is to divide the
vote of the opposition to the Amer
leans" about evenly between the Dem
ocrats and the Republicans, then the
Kearns gang would slide in between.
The stuff published by the organ of
the knockers is so childish and absurd
that even a half witted person can
see through it. A vote for Morris is
practically a vote for the "Ameri-
cans" That's why the Tribune is try
ing to con the people into voting for
Morris. 1t won't succeed. The op-
position to the Kearns gang, which is
most of the decent people of the COM
munity, can't Vi induced to play the
game of their enemies. The only
way to beat the Americans" is to
vote the Republican ticket.
The rot published in the Tribune ev-
cry day about the Mormon church go
ing to use its influence for either
Lynch or Morris and keeping the peo-
pie in doubt as to which of the two
mayoralty candidates will be the ben
eficiary of that alleged influence indi-
Gates that those who direct or rather
misdirect the supposed policy of the
Tribune are fit subject for lunatic
asylum. One morning the Tribune
says Lynch is the favorite, the next
that Norris is the darling Of the
church and the next morning it is re-
versed. The fact is the church is not
bothering itself about either Lynch
or Morris at all. The Tribune's stuff
is the raving of a revengeful and de-
feated scrub. The people know their
own minds and will vote as they
please. Common sense and reason
says vote for Lynch and defeat the
knockers, the common enemy. The
people can be depended upon to do
that very thing.

There should be more harmony be-

American party is going to win and
transform Salt Lake into an Ameri-

dence districts than for years. 10

THE END.
THE MINISTER'S CAT.

Sylvia, because her new dress buttoned
with so many buttons, or because it took
Elsie so long to make the great pink bow
on one side Of her head stand up straight
enough, was late. It was her first party
her very first.
"Good-bye, Venus O'Milo!'' she said to
the beloved cat on the minister s door
steps. Sylvia was the minister little
girl "Good-bye, an think o me when far
away. Honest an true, Venus O'Milo,
I IN little scared.''
The party was round two corners at Mrs.
Tewksbury's. Mrs. ,Tewksbury came to
he door,
"You dear little silvy'' she cried, well

mered scared little Sylvia, remembering
Elsie's cautions to be polite. 81 mean I'd

The players sat in two rows opposite
each other. They were laughing gaily.
''The minister's cat is fierce cat,
Virginia Day was saying as Sylvia went
in.
"The minister IS cat is furious cat!"
cried the little boy opposite Virginia.
The ministers cat is 'fraid cat!"
piped clear little voice, and then every
body laughed like everything everybody
but Sylvia.

Everybody said something dreadful
about the minister's cat Sylvia s lip be-
gan to tremble. She felt lumpy in her
throat. Still they went on:
"The minister s cat is a fighting cat"
The minister 9 cat is a feline cat!'
and everybody shouted again.
Sylvia slid out of Mrs. Tewksbury's lap
and started toward the door. The lump
was getting so much lumpier she did not
dare to speak. She had one object in
view-to get back to the minister's door
steps and-and hug Venus O'Milo. She
would call her beautiful names; she would
say the minister cat was a darling cat,

wouldn't have come if I'd known every

Then Mrs. Tewksbury understood. She
did not laugh at all, but took Sylvia up
in her lap again and explained
cts only a game, dear! 'The minis
ter's cat is just the name of it, and it
doesn It mean any special cat in the world.

fun. It just happened that all the sf'
things were 'unpolite,' sweetheart, but

Sylvia saw plainly, and all her troubles
vanished in flash. The lump disap-
peared and she began to laugh. She
slipped her hand into the big, kind one,
and trotted happily back to the shouting
children. One voice rose above all the
rest, and what do you suppose it was say

TRY THIS EXPERIMENT,
Why a Redhot Poker Does Not Hiss
in Boiling Water.

If a red hot poker be thrust into cold
water it Kisses and sputterS; if into
boiling water there is no commotion.
When, in the first experiment. cold
water comes in contact with the hot
iron there is sudden and explosive
generation of steam, which causes the
liquid to be scattered with kissing
noise, consequent upon the bursting
of iunumcrable bubbles.
When. on the other hand, poker IS
thrust into boiling water, which is
already freely giving forth steam, the
Introduction of the hot iron by still
further assisting steam production
causes the poker to become at once
surrounded by sheath Of vapor,
which ctrcctuaily prevents the water
from coming into actual contact with
the metal.
This sheath of vapor is comparative
ly bad conductor of heat, so that but
little heat passes from the iron to the
water. There is no commotion, and
the poker can be withdrawn still
glowing brightly.

TIE JUGGLING OF FATE

A number of years ago, Amos Rusie,
the famous pitcher of the New York
Club of the National Base Ball League
occupied the lime light of public at
tention through his wonderful per-
Torrance in the centre of the diamond.
At that time he received a salary Of
$4,000 a year. For some little indis-
cretions he was disciplined by the club
management. and rather than take the
punishment he retired from base ball
for year or two; when he got back
into the harness again, his cunning as
a pitcher had deserted him.
For time he drifted around without
occupation, but later received employ
ment as lumber hand, with a COM
pensation of $3.50 day. 1t is now
announced that he has been success
full in obtaining a position in Cairo,
H., where he will receive 81 a day.
