He is uNcoNVINcEp.

Governor Hughes Of New York has
listened TO the report OF the legislative
committee sent into the provinces to
learn about the primary election plan,
and doesn't believe what he hears. He
is unconvinced. And he is going to
make speeches to the people Of the
state, urging them to make the. primary
election system a part Of the New York
state machinery.
It IS easy to understand that most
Of the committee wanted to be con-
WINGED against the primary plan. But
that prediction didn't make the evil
/ dence submitted to them. For example,
they found that Stephenson of Wiscon-
! sin was sent to the United States SEN
ate in spite of LaFollette and the pri-
mary voting. Stephenson's friends
/ laughed at LaFOllette, and told him
their chief would be elected just the
same-only it would cost him more.
/ Many witnesses in western states de-
| cIared that poor men have no show in
/ the primary plan if rich man wants

Indiana evidence is as squarely
against the plan as is that of WiscOn-
sin. The most recent experience the
people there have had with the law is

mayor Of indianapolis. The men ap-
proved by the political bosses Of both
parties were beaten, it is true. AND
yet it is the judgment of every one
worth noticing that the candidates
named at the primaries are infinitely
worse and weaker men than were The
bosses selection. Even the Indianapolis
News, which favored the plan, admits
that the choice Of the people is a nigh
~ poor choice.
The weakness of the convention plar
is that the people generally do not
give any attention TO politics. If they
did they could prevent every abuse

much discussed politicians. But they
fail to use their opportunity They
fail to exercise their power. And they
will do precisely the same thing ir

FLAMING THE TROUT.

Three million young trout have been
planted" in the waters Of Utah within
the past month, under the direction Of
Mr. Chambers, state fish and game
commissioner. It is a movement which
must very greatly advance the game
interest OF the state.
A number Of streams and lakes have
been selected for the present home of
the trout. and within very few years
the waters Of the state viii be rich
with the sport most greatly priced.
The tables of the people will be gar
nished with the choicest Of fish food.
Another effect Of the recent activity
will be the gradual elimination Of the
undesirable fish from the lakes and
streams-the carp and others that a
mistaken policy of the past has be-
queathed 10 the present generation.
Utah people viii find an increased
food supply, and that of a most de-
sirable sort And fishers viii find rec
reation of a quality which they can
never forget.

YELLOWSTONE sPEclAL SEASON

On September thirtieth the Yellow
stone special train will be withdrawn
from service on the Oregon Short Line,
and will wait the beginning of another
season. It has been an excellent thing
for Salt Lake. Thousands of people
have visited the big national park by
the way Of this train, who otherwise
would have been forced to go by the
less desirable northern route.
Aside from the local people who make
the trip, patrons Of the line are large
ly from other states. And they all come
to Salt Lake to begin their journey
While here they are Of positive benefit

you GET LAND.

Remember what Iago told repeatedly
to his comrade? He told him to put
money in his purse. And again and
again he told him to get money. lagos
persistence in policy is the only point
i'm which he need be initiated in the
present instance. But the best advice
to give any man in salt Lake today is
this: Get land" And then: Get
more land"
You will remember that three years
ago, or a little less, people all Of 4
sudden discovered there was money in
South Main street land, and they bought
almost franticaIly. Property went to
double in a night.
Does any man think the prices were
too high? Because they were not.
That sort of thing is coming again
sure! And the only difference is that
il Will not be confined TO any one end
of any one street. And it viii not be
confined 10 any one part Of town. The
land in Salt Lake is going to advance
persistently-and that big.
What is true of the city is true Of
the state. Within the next five years
this state is going to be transformed.
The prosperity Of the country general
ly has encouraged men to invest in
productive enterprises. The lesson Pat
ten taught them has had a good effect.
They know there isn't enough food
stuff in the country, and that the surest
way to make good money is to develop
raw land, and raise wheat and corn,
and anything else that will supply the
market with foods.
Get land, and begin the cultivation
of It. II you have a good irrigation
scheme, begin work on it, and fee
sure that it viii make you rich if you
carry it through, and that it will be
salable at a handsome figure if you
are wise in the work you do.
In the city or outside, the land is tht
sure highway 10 better fortune. Utah
can have a million Inhabitants in ter
years II her sons and daughters OF
today do we'll their part And we be
Ieve they will.

THAT ISN'T so BAD.

Mention was made the other day of
the Michigan colony Of Joseph and
Mary. where the Immortality Of the
body is taught. More recently the
famous-or infamous-Ann Odelia dis
DeBar has started a new cult in New
York with an application of the
Michigan idea. In the latter place
Joseph and Mary hold out the hope
for only a hundred and fOrty-foUr
thousand who shall be redeemed" TO
the extent of retaining their mortal
bodies through eternity. Odelia says
that is true, but that each survivor
viii be permitted to take one affinity
with him. And that each imperishable
pair will be allowed seven attendants.
That isn't so bad. When you come
to think Of il, each attendant ought IN
Justice to have an affinity. And each
secondary pair have its own seven
sarvftors. What is sauce for the goose
Of the hundred and forty and four
thousand ought to be sauce for the
! gander OF the satellites.
And II IS but IAe SiIial4eSI u CdICtlle'-
tons to demonstrate that pretty much
all the human race would live forever
on that theory.
A good many hard things have been
charged against Odelia, but it will have
to be admitted she makes perpetual
| existence much broader and easy OF &C
curing than do her Michigan friends

BE GUIDED BY CONDITIONS.

A letter from a Sanpete county man
refers to a recent editorial in The Her
Republican, touching the matter of
consolidation Of the public schools there,
and asks the rather pertinent question:
rs there such a thing as local condi-
lions being unfavorabIe for a consoltda-
ton of the county schools?"
And we will have to say yes" Our
friends in Sanpete and every other
county. will have to be guided by the
conditions that exist there In the case
in point, it maybe is impractical to get
the whole county Of sanpete into one
school district There is a matter of
sixty-five miles which would have to
be traversed by some trustees; and they
are hardly going TO do it.
But Sanpete could organize in two
school districts. with a trustee in each
of the five towns of the northern end
and five more in a separate district at
the south. The local conditions would
have to be considered IN that case, as in
every other.
There seems no question a greater
efficiency is obtained in the new way; in
the consolidation. Better results are
secured. The pupils get increased op-
portunity-and they profit greatly by
the plan If, for any reason, Sanpett
cannot get into one district, let it gel
into two.
It is a move in the interest Of eduea-
ton.

sURNAMEs OF FIRST CENSUS.
lHarper,s Weekly

A141- pei y W tthly.J
One OF the humorists employed in the
census bureau estimates, in a govern
ment bulletin just published, that there
were less than 10000 surnames in the
United States in 1890, at the time the
first census was taken. Of these H.
934 represented single families. Only
two names-our old friends Smith and
Brown-were represented by 5000 fam
lilies and more.
Four per cent Of the white popula-
ton was represented by nine names.
First came the Smiths-cIOse upon 5000
families Of them. \ long way behind
with less than 400 families to its cred
it, came the clan OF the Browns. Then
came the Davis tribe, with 2,575 fami-
lies TO its credit, While that Of Jones
only fourteen behind, pressed angrily
on its heels. Next were the JohnsOns
actually oUtnumbering the JOnses in
the number of families, but falling short
of them in total Of persons, the Jones
families being more prolific. The CIarks
and Williamses were wrestling for the
sixth and seventh posts in the race
with the Millers a close eighth, and tht

"A large proportion Of all the names,
/ says our humorist, are adaptations oil
| nouns, verbs and other parts Of speech
| and in general represent the simplesf
| Anglo-SaXon terms. Upon a classified
! ton, according to the meaning of ths
names, it appears that the origin OF
! practically all was connected with daily
/ life and surroundings. Classified by
meaning, most Of the proper names de
/ derived from parts of speech fall under
the following topics: Food, eating

! household utensils, nations, towns, cit
les, nationality, kinds of men-condi

HANG ON, AND HIT HARD.

Maybe it would be a good thing right
about here to have a short sermon
on perseverance. Edward Eggleston, in
The Hoosier Schoolmaster," made one
of his characters say of his bulldog: If
he gets hold heaven and earth can't
make him let 60" And that is a good
trait even in dog,
You have read in your Bible; He
that shall endure unto the end, he shall
be saved" And Shakespeare put the
idea in these words: DO not for one
repulse forego the purpose that you
resolved TO effect" Which is hardly
so smooth in its diction as the St.
James version.
stick 10 your aim" says DR.,
Holmes. 'The mongreTs hold will slip.
But only crowbars loose the bulldog
lip. Small as he looks. the jaw that
never yields drags down the believing

thus who spoke of the success attend

test he gives involves a very long appli-
cation of the rule. mo rock so hard

SUCKERS.

More than a thousand persons, pre-
sumably Americans. paid five dollars
each the other day to gain admittance
to the marble palace of Mrs. o. H. P,
Belmont at Newport, and two thousand
more paid a dollar each to be admitted
to the grounds.
They didn't care a straw for Mrs.
Belmont, and they have every reasona-
BILE evidence of the fact that she didn't
care half a straw for them. They just
gave up good money to get inside the
palace of a rich person.
The Very Rich had tired of accus-
toned occupations. They wanted some
thing new. And just as fights between
human beings were more attractive TO
the Roman emperors than fights be
tween lions, so the Very Rich .palled
at monkey dinners, and turned to in
spect the freemen. And the freemen
were suckers enough to pay their own
admission fee.
The Very Rich seem to be built much
on the plan Of the eisteddfod managers
at the Seattle exposition, and it is a
matter of congratuIation that the Nor
mon choir declined the invitation which
proved so attractive TO people in the
neighborhood Of the Marble Palace.
How does a man feel when he has
| paid five dollars to look through a
house into which he couldn't be admit
ted as an equal, and would decline &c
! come as a servant? How can he re
member it without shame? How shall
he tell to any one what he saw in that
house? How can ne explain his con-
duct to himself when he goes to ex-
ercise the franchise Of a freeman?
Fortunately, it is only in Rhode Isl,
and, New Jersey and New York where
the Very Rich can get ten Thousand
dollars in a day by throwing oper
their Marble Palaces to suckers. Where
independent manhood obtains, that sor
Of thing would be impossible.

OUT. And old DR.. johnson supple
mented it with the sentence: Great
works are performed not by strength
but by perseverance,.
Hazard thought it a virtue, and set
his lines to the following: "Persever-
ance is a Roman virtue, that wins each
godlike act. and plucks success even
from the spear-proof crest of rugged
danger"
OF course there is a limit. Beyond
that, you get obstinacy. The differ
ence is easily detected. Perseverance
comes from a strong will; obstinacy
from a strong wont.

money, too-for it involves two cleo
tions instead of one.
If the American people would not
only identity themselves with a party,
but give a little time and attention to
its practical operations. take part in
its activities, know the men who are
influential in politics, and make them
selves also influential-there would be
no need of costly and new inventions
for government.

Under the leadership OF Emmett l.

machinists at the Washington Navy
