BUSINESS AND TRADE.

Tho week in business circles has
shown continuation OF the record Of
increased clearances in this city, SO
evident during the spring and early
summer. The past week shows q gain
in these clearances of 10.2 per cent
over the clearances Of the correspond
ing week last year.
During the week the building activ-
ity, has been specially pronounced. Mr..
Moran, the contractor for the building
Of the 100000 high school On the East
bench, has proceeded swiftly with his
preparations, as he has done also with
the preliminary work for construction
on the administration building of the
University, he having that contract
also. Work has been pushed with vigor
and effect on the Walker skyscraper,
on the Utah Hotel annex, and the pre-
liminary work Of tearing away the old
structure to give room for the new
Orpheum on Second South street west
Of the Walker Bank corner, all have
proceeded actively. It is announced
that this new Orpheum theater will be
completed by November 1st. Excava-
tion has begun on the apartment hotel
for the Mcintosh estate on Fourth
South and West Temple streets, and
construction is being rapidly completed
on the Auerbach store and the De-
Bouzek Engraving Company's plant on
Fourth South. Finishing touches are
being put on the Keith o 'Brien store
building, corner State and Third
South.
The merchants report that all lines
Of trade have been active during the
week In spite Of the warm weather
Special removal sales have been fea-
lures in the trading by the Auerbach
and the Keith-O 'Brien stores,
Realty dealers report good demand
for property, rather better than usual
at this season.

"ARMAGEDDON," ;"

Col Roosevelt, in one OF his wild
flights Of half-wittcd outburst ut Chi
cago, referred to the mystical repre-
sentations in Revelations as to tn,
great scourge Of the Lord that ia t
come upon those gathered together
Into place called in the Hebrew
tongue Armageddon. 1t seemed tc
be Roosevelt's idea that he and his
particular band Of fighters were going
to rally at Armageddon and help the
Lord In his battle there against the
unregenernte and rebellious. He seemed
to lose sight altogether Of the fact that
those who were to be gathered al
Armageddon were to be gathered there
for scourging, afhiction and utter de-
struction at the hands of the Lord
The reference is i'll the sixteenth
chapter Of Revelation. which treats oil
the emptying Of the vials full of wrath
Seven angels are to have vials filed
with "the wrath Of God upon the
earth The first, second, third,
fourth, and fifth angels pour out each
his vial of the wrath Of the Lord, and
the sixth angel pours out his vial of
wrath upon the Euphrates and dries up
the waters thereof. Three unclean spir-
it's like frogs come out OF the mouth of
the dragon and out Of the mouth OF
the false prophet, "for they are the
spirits of devils working miracles
which 90 forth unto the kings Of the
earth and Of the whole world to gath.
er them to the battle OF the great day
of God Almighty "And he gath.
cred them together unto a place called
in the Hebrew tongue Armageddon. -
The account then proceeds through six
verses to the end Of the chapter as fol.
lows:
16-And he gathered them together into
place called in the Hebrew tongue Ar
mageddon.
11IAnd the seventh angel poured out
nls Viai into the air; and there came great
voice out OF the temple OF heaven, from
the throne, saying, 1t is done.
N-And there were voices and thun-
ders. and lghtnings, and there was a
great earthquake, such as was not since

the mountains were not found.
2l-And there fell upon men a great
hall out OF heaven, every stone about the
weight OF talent; and men blasphemed
because or the plague OF the hail; for
the plague thereof was exceeding great.
It is clear case from the vision rs
recorded that those who are gathered
at Armageddon are gathered for scourg-
ings and Affections, and if Col. Roose-
velt and his riotous supporters appear
at Armageddon, they will appear for
afhiction; and they will get their full
share Of tho scourge Of the wrath of
the Lord, Just as they are likely to get
this year the scorge Of the wrath of

WRIGHT AND GoMPERS.

The public is no doubt surprised as
well as In general disguised, by the
persistence of Justice Wright of the
Supreme Court Of the District of Co.
lumbia in his determination to punish
Gompers and Mitchell for alleged con-
tempt OF court. For, the persistence
of Justice Wright In this savors far
more of personal animus and determi-
nation to punish than it does of Judi
clal propriety or calm consideration.
The case arose out of the contention
between the labor unions and the Buck
Stove Company Of ST. Louis. An in.
junction was placed upon the unions
and upon Messrs. Gompers, Mitchell
and others commanding that they
should not Interfere with the company
nor go contrary to the ruling of the
court against them in that case. They
(as Judge Wright holds, and perhaps
correctly willfully and defiantly dis.
obeyed this order. At the time that
his original sentence for contempt was
delivered, there was at least a sem.
blance OF reason in Judge Wright IS
holding, but there was an appeal from
it to the U. s. Supreme Court, and
Judge Wright was overruled In the
meantime, the trouble between the Ia
Dor unions and the Buck Stove com.
pany was settled, and there was moth.
ing further to do in that matter. Every
one who had kept track Of the case
supposed that the contention had ended
with the settlement between the unions
and the stove company and the over.
ruling OF Judge Wright by the Supreme
Court Of the United States. Tho gen.
eral consensus Of opinion was that the
matter was entirely Of the past, and
that nothing further should be heard
from It,
But all at once Judge Wright Of the
District Court crops up with q renewa,
of his sentence for contempt against
Gompers and Mitchell. 1t seems like
a voice from the dead to have this
matter renewed IN this form. For, nc
matter how grievously Judge Wright
might resent what he holds to be the
contempt Of court committed by Messrs
Gompers and Mitchell. the occasion fol
the dispute and contempt has disap
peared, the public has tired of the
case and does not believe that there
Is any merit in pursuing 1t further. II
is as though a court should persist IL
trying case that had been settled be
tween the parties to the suit.
An obstinate, self-willed Judge, VIII,
considers himself wTonged or insulted
may use his position for his persona
satisfaction to certain extent; but tn,
general public will not support him IL

LA TOILETTE ON ROOSEVELT.

Senator La Toilette does not minoe
words IN his review Of the campaign
for nomination by the Republicans at
Chicago. He lays the blame squarely
and fairly upon Roosevelt for the
trouble created, and especially for the
thwarting of the progressive hopes and
the breaking up Of the La Toilette
chances. Sarcastically he refers to the
crafty and well-prepared spontaneous
call" that came to Roosevelt to be a
candidate; and La Follette's review of
the receptive candidacy announced
by Roosevelt is a good piece Of scath-
ing political satire.
The recruits that Roosevelt brought
to the progressive camp are denounced
by La Toilette as largely insincere, as
persons who had never been known as
progressives, and In this category he
places Roosevelt himself, who In all his
seven and half years in the Presi-
dency took no interest whatever in the
tariff, and whose activities with re-
spect to the oppressive trusts were for
those trusts and not against them.
Finally, Senator La Toilette refers
to the enormous campaign fund raised
and expended In the Roosevelt interest
Nothing like this in magnitude and in
corrupting influence was ever seen be.
fore in American politics, and nothing
like the extravagant expenditures made
in Roosevelt's behalf were ever 30 much
as imagined before. And while Roose.
velt was mouthing large protestations
Of service to the people, "men noto.
riouBly identified with the Steel Trust
and the Harvester Trust became his
most active supporters. Leading re.
dictionaries, standpatters, and political
bosses Of the Hanna and Quay sort be.
came his closest political friends and
representatives in many States''
All this Is notoriously true, and in
making this summarized statement of
the Roosevelt campaign, Senator La
Toilette has rendered distinct service
to the American public. The facts
given by him are unquestionable, and
it Is just as unquestionable that he
was betrayed by his nominal friends
Pinchot, Garfield and like pretenders
so that those political traitors could
desert to the Roosevelt camp.
We arc no special admirer Of Senator
La Toilette; but We have not the slight
est question Of his earnestuess nor OF
his integrity Of purpose in this cam,
paign. We welcome his statement
therefore, as from one In the thick OF
the fight, who knew what was going
on, and who understands fully tho In.
fluences which led to his own be-
trayal and downfall. And when he
scores the bad faith and false pretense
which wero so oonspicuously part OF
the Roosevelt campaign, no one can
fail to sympathize with him and to
acknowledge the injuries that he has
received, and also 10 see clearly that
what he says is the truth.

and gave optimistic interviews.
The important work Of the Denver
& Rio Grande is engaging public at
tention, and also the announcement of
President BENJAMIN F. Bush that in
vestigations OF the feasibility Of cleo
trifying the line in the mountain de-
partment are being made. The con-
struction Of the detour line over Sol
der Summit has been held in allegiance
pending the outcome Of the electrify-
ing Investigations. Tt is stated that
if the electrifcation Of the limo over
Soldier Summit proves successful, it
will mean that the Moffat tunnel
through the mountains, involving q
cost Of S6,000,000 will be obviated, and
that the Colorado Midland will be able
to overcome it's greatest difficulty and
that the railroads Of the Rocky Noun

power more economically than by

The past week has been the most
satisfactory in many years for the
Utah ore producers, by reason OF tho
unusually high metal prices prevailing
the ideal character Of the weather, ana
the amount Of ore sent to tho market.
Copper at almost II 1-3 cents per
pound. the price that ruled locally dur
ing the past six days. is tho top-notch
settling point in over four years. Sill
yer ruled above 81 cents per ounce,
while lead averaged $3.50 per hundred
pounds. The Utah ore producers are
sending out an unprecedented tonnage,
hence the earnings OF the Utah mines
as whole are at the maximum.
Stock market conditions have failed
to follow mine conditions, the local
mining share market still being neg
lected by the public, while the Balh-
more convention continued the uncer-
tainty and increased the dislnchnation
Of the investor to participate, when
the Chicago convention inspired the
previous week. Market experts are in
cliued to believe that the reaction dur"
ing the coming month will be pro-
nounced and upward, for politics can
not endure forever as an adverse fac
tor. Many believe, however, that un-
til after the fall election the markets
will reflect the political uncertainty,
and the Eastern boards will be more
patronized by the professional trader
than by the public.
Copper metal suffered slight set
back on Monday last by reason OF re-
ports circulated in London to the et-
feet that there was a far greater
amount of invisible copper abroad
than had been appreciated. These ru-
mors are considered absolutely without
foundation, and inspired by the specu"
lators. 1t is true, however, that the
pause in the upward trend Of the red
metal was welcomed by the producers,
as nothing is less desirable than un-
wise ranges to copper prices which

proved from this one standpoint. There

al
development of new fields will continue
to be retarded until the ruling Of the
Department of the Interior at Wash
ington regarding mining claim location
and patenting is again based upon the
law and not upon the caprice Of sub
officials who are in no sense Of the
term familiar with Western conditions
and needs, and who seem disposed to
annul rights conferred by the law.
