Benton H., Nov. 6.--An explosion at
the mine of Col w. p Bond. three miles

demolishing a steel tipple.

What with the promise of Frank

go 10 prison or take 10 the woods. and
Joe Lippman's fearful prediction that
the Americans win reform" Salt
Lake county. just as they have re-
formed Salt Lake City; these and other
details of the American" program are
enough to make any but the bravest
shudder
Think of being a hierarch and facing
the awful fate presented by the former
senator. Imagine the cruelty of being
railroaded out of this fair land or going
10 a dungeon just because you don't
vote the right ticket. Fancy the fear

as they read the oratorical measure
meted out TO them, and remember the
Nuggets of Truth" and the first SEN
atorial election in UTAH
But even that isn't much worse than
the trouble mapped out for Salt Lake
county. It's fairly tough to be in the
hands of the aggregation that runs the
county now, and the Republican NOM
nations don't promise much better
things. Still, never before has any
body threatened to infiict anything so
dreadful as reform of the whole county
after the pattern of reform handed out
10 the city.
Glory be. there's no possibility of an
other Tom Black in the county govern
ment. those don't grow two on a bush:
nor is there any likelihood of Martin
or an A. J. Davis, so this threat cannot
be meant seriously. OF course. if
Sheets had been nominated for sheriff
and Soren Christensen for county at
torney, it would present itself more
clearly. but under the conditions that
threat of county reform must have
been meant In a Pickwickian sense.
Generally speaking the Americans"

cellent. The trouble with the ticket. as
with the party. is its program OF pro-
scription. its intolerance and hatred of
truthful defamation of the city and
state. If its campaign were not CEN
tered against a combination quite as
intoierant. quite a. urreasoning; if the
Smoot machine did not invite just such
methods by its own system of pro-
scription and appeal to hatred, the
