Other Matters SAYSTHE WAR IS OVER UTAH FULLY PREPARED TO RECEIVE THE CRGWJf End of the Bitterness and Strife That Have Anchored TJtali to the rant Tlie Mission of the liberal Party Ended Judge Powers returned home yesterday afternoon from Lincoln Neb where he has been for some weeks on legal business Immediately after his arrival the judge was besieged by Liberals of more or less prominence wished to talk over the situation with him and he was kept busy throughout the day Last evening how ver he cheerfully accorded a Herald representative an interview and expressed himself freely and somewhat emphatically upon the subject brought up How does the action taken by the House today on the statehood bill suit you asked the reporter I am pleased with i replied the judge And I hope i is the end or at least the beginning of the end of tlie turmoil confusion bitterness and strife which have anchored Utah to the past and enabled states like Colorado and Nebraska without Its natural advan tages to pass on in the struggle for advancement I have not believed in statehood and have been sincere in my opposition but I have recognized as month after month passed by that i was true as alleged that conditions were changing here and that the people by some unseen and perhaps overruling force were being irresistablv DRAWN TOGETHER I think we will be far better off with statehood We want no more legisla tion from Congress and I think we can look after our own affairs a little bet ter than senators from Virginia and Indiana Therefore I am going to join hands with these people in good faith They say that they are looking towards the rising sun I am going to look that way also You do not anticipate that there will be any unnecessary delay in the admission of Utah I have feared there would be In fact I have i from one of the leading senators from one of the leading states that because through the complexion of the coming legislature i might be said to be doubtful as to whether Utah was Democratic or Republican and that therefore some senators would delay Utahs admission I think this is wrong I dont care whether Utah is Democratic or Republican today if her people have reached that point as I believe they have where they cane safely trusted with statehood then Utah should be admitted because in wealh population intelligence and enterprise she is already a state and the Democrat or Republican who fr selfish party reasons delays her admission pleads guilty to the weakness of his own cause As a Democrat I firmly believe that whatever Utah may be today in the very near future and for all time thereafter to come SHE WILL BE DEMOCRATIC With the admission of Utah as a state I believe the mission of the Liberal party is ended I had a work to do and it did it well Whatever may be thought of it by its Mormon an agonlsts it has advanced this ternary since i obtained power faster than they advanced it and has really realy been to them an aid in preparing Utah for the crown of statehood Without If there would have been no attrition here of mind with mind I atriion I not won substantial victories i Peo ples party would have still been In existence li these ways i has blazed a pathway for Democrats and Republi Republ cans and made it possible for us here in Utah to divide on party lines THE LIBERALS What course wlll the Liberals now pursue The party meets in convention at the Theatre next Monday night the date having been changed from Sat urday because we could not secure the house for that night I apprehend that the controlling senti ment will be In favor of forgetting the old war cries laying aside the old flags singing Auld Lang Syne and entering our respective national camps Of course many people will camp with ome feeling of regret That is but natural for whatever may be said of Utah the two great factions here have been sincere earnest and honest and i i like breaking up an old family for them to part But I guess th time has come for us to swarm to turn our thoughts from local to national mat ters and while ntonal whie fighting hard upon the lines laid down declare to the rest of the union that Utah is no different from the rest of the world except in that here is the best place on earth for the old man or the young man to come with J5 household goods settle down and become one of us THE LEGISLATIVE ELECTION How about the coming legislative election 2 legislatve suppose It can be i considered cn as settled that i will be upon national part lines I hopeboth sides will put up men well wl wel calculated to draw the full vote and who ful are Qualified to fil1 the place that death has made vacant I believe that this city and territory met with a great loss in the death of Clar ence Hall He Hal was a young man with a future

laughable meoy skit Un theatorium titled The Book Agent in the A CUARWY SUGGESTION A Piece of Outrageous Official Van dallhm Excorlatetl To the Editor of The Herald As our people are devising means to relieve the destitute by dettute giving men employment I desire to suggest a method Let the city hire men to cut ito cord wood the shade trees over 200 in number 208 of 4inches in di ameter and upwards if you care for the exact number along East First South street and the intersecting streets between St Marks Cathedral and Twelfth East which Cthedral Twelft have en ruined by the improvment of that street I the city authorities think the wood will not sell for enough to PY for the cutting they might give them to the Relief society gle These trees are sure to die within wihin the next two or three years and some of them to fall with each heavy wind damaging fences and buildings and they are a standing menace to the lives and limbs of those passing by Whoever cuts these trees should be required to dig out the stumps and fill the holes For I think none of us will care in years to come to confess to inquiring strangers that for that the sake of reducing the picturesque gently undulating natural grades of I the street to an irregular lot of broken straight lines any city authorities in the last decade of the nineteenth century ever perpetrated such a stupid utterly useless piece of vandalism as to destroy from 240 to 250 shade trees many of them forty I years growth and transform a beauti fully shaded residence street back to I the original desert Not even if it could nave been done without any cost to the city instead of at an expense of from 20000 to 30000 per I mile RESIDENT I PEKSONAL MENTION 1 I Holbrook of Provo is at the Cullen White John Jimpson jr of

DAYS IN JAIL I Mrs Minnie Campbell Held to the I Grand Jury in 2uO Bonds Petty I Thieves Pleul Guilty lUll Get 30 Days in Jail I The case of Salt Lake city vs Joseph Hamblin was the star attraction yesterday in the police court and went to a large if not very select house Hamblin was found guilty of petit larceny and given seventyfive days in the city jail Hamblin was arrested last week while trying to dispose of several pieces of gold which he had obtained by melt ing up jewelry Several odds and ends of the jewelry including a piece of a bracelet with initials engraved on one of the links a metal pencil holder cuff buttons and a collar button were found in his room and afterwards identified by John Hauswirth whose home had been plundered during his detention at the city jail When pinned down Hamblin claimed to have received the jewelry from Rosa Wicks a pretty young girl who was living at Hauswirths Rosa could not be found for several days and the case went over but she was in court yesterday afternoon and told her story which in a measure implicated her in the steal I seems that Rosa found the jewelry on the floor the day after Hauswirth assaulted his wife and gathering it up placed the articles in the box where they belonged Several days later she told Hamblin who judging from the story must have obtained a great deal of influence for good or bad over the girl whose age is but 16 of the find and the young man told her he wanted to see the jewelry The girl obtained possession of the jewelry and offered it for Hambllns inspection As a result of which the fellow retained the case and its contents afterwards melting part of the jewelry up to av meltng tection Rosa was told to hold her peace regarding the matter and did so until yesterday Although she was somewhat involved in the steal the prosecution declined to prefer charges and she was released 1 I Held to the Grand Jury I Mrs Minnie Campbell was arraigned before Justice Gee and held to the grand jury in bonds of 250 on the charge of house breaking When the judgment of the court was passed the woman burst into tear and declared she would be killed before she would return to the county jail She went back however I will be remembered that Mrs Campbell was found In the residence of Mrs Margaret Young some time ago and failed to give 3 satisfactory account of herself As 1 Young had been the victim of housebreakers sev eral days before the Campbell woman was charged with the robbery At the hearing the fact developed that the woman had visited several other resi dences in the same manner and after each of the visits some article afer been missed The defense of insanity was set up and a the judge was not satisfied in his own mind he sent Mrs Campbell to the 115 Campbel probate court for ex amination as to her sanity She has been pronounced sane and as Judge Gee considered the evidence sf crg enough to hold her the case will be cse looked Into by the grand jury wI Petty ThIeves Soloman Samuel Webster a half breed and Harry Covington the fellows who were arrested for a num her of petty thefts committed in the northwestern and western part of the city were arraigned for nearing Sl omon entered a plea of not guilty and his case was set for Monday but Cov ngton and Webster pleaded guilty and were given thirty days each The police have recovered a long list of house hold goods stolen by these fellows The plunder was stored in Covingtons house on Fifth West Walter Smith forfeited 55 for drun lenness The case of Thomas Parsons charged with purchasing goods from a minor under the age of 16 years has been set down for trial for this afternoon I I lllls1iIi AND MIING Lead Is Lower Now Than for Sixteen years I THEY DONT WANT CASH HOLDERS OP CITY WAn PREFER THEM TO READY MONEY Bids for School Bonds to Be Opened I Today Mtatriner Fniii Committee IHKUCS an Address to the Public Fillmore Will Have a Chamber of I Commerce and Newspaper There was a great slumpin the lead market yesterday and the price of that metal touched the lowest mark it has i tle low for sixteen years On Tuesday the quotation was 320 but yesterday it I was but 310 with a still further downward tendancy The result of this fall should it be permanent or go I still lower may result in even more of the Utah mines which produce lead I I in any considerable quantities closing down Almost daily one or more of the properties are shut down and the outlook for mining in the west this winter is very forbidding Speaking yesterday of the fall in the price of the metal Mr Hanauer expressed the opinion that it was due almost entirely to the fear of free lead The consumption Is almost as great as in former years he said although of course the money stringency has caused some little fall ing off The prices quoted today are lower than since 1877 In the beginning of the year lead was quoted at 3 and remained almost stationary I until In the summer when i began to fall and reached 330 in October since which time the market has fallen twenty points Indications are that the market has not reached bed rock and if such should prpve to be the case many of the lead minesand those silver mines which depend considera bly upon the lead carried by their rock will be forced to close down School Board Finances Clerk Moreton of the board of educa ton and Assistant Clerk Price are hard at work upon the annual financial fnancal report of the board and will have the document ready for presentation by I the first of the year ntaton CITY BONDS TAKEN UPHolders TUcx Holders of City Warrants In No Harry to Cajtli Them Blair company the purchasers of the last bond issue of the city yester day took up thirteen bonds and paid over to city treasurer Duke 13000 There remains but 10T00 more of the bond money to come and this cash is ready for the city the minute the out standing warrants are presented for payment ahnYIi Why the hIders of warrants should refir the cltys promises to The pay to hard cash is still a mystery outstanding warrants at present aggregate in amount in the neighbor hood 9000 and the paper Is Being held back for held reasons known to the holders only I Is intimated how ever that there Is a purpose in this seeming neglect of personal 1 interests and that more might be told if the right parties were Interviewed It Is I possible that there are persons who have bought up the paper during the time when i was selling at a heavy discount and can now afford to hold out in order that they may speculate speclate on time checks and other tme Qher city paper City Treasurer DuKe has repeatedly called upon the holders of the war rants to present them for payment but it is the same thing over again but few warrants are presented The purchasers of the bonds are anxious to get the bonds noon the market but are prevented from doing so by the slowness with which the warrants are being presented City employees Ci are also being kept from getting their salaries for the same reason as the treasurer claims to have no money on hand with which to pay the rolls Parleys Canyon Spring Tomorrow the county selectmen will visit the spring in1 Parleys canyon claimed by both Salt Lake city and Hansen and upon their return will sit as water commissioners and render a decision in the case recently submitted I to them SCHOOL BONDS The Bids Will be Opened at 4 ocloclc Title Afternoon This afternoon at 4 oclock the finance committee of the board of education will meet for the purpose of opening the bids which may have been received by that time for the 225000 issue of improvement bonds which the board has placed upon the market Inasmuch as the board had already received a bid of 98 per cent it is more than likely that bids will be received today of par or higher News received from the east Is to the effect that money Is again plenty there and the only trouble is the difficulty in finding safe investments with nearly every branch of business and industry I hanging on the ragged edge as it were The bonds of the board of education whose bonded Indebtedness is but S600000 are considered to giltedsed and there always a great competition omoner bond buyers when they are placed upon the market The committee will make a report to the regular meeting of the board tonight THE MIDWINTER FAIR Committee Issues an Address to the People of the Territory Although there was little business upon the table the executive committee of the Midwinter fair committee held another meeting yesterday afternoon But four members Messrs Grant Scott Gray and Snyder barely a quorum were present but numbers cut no figure with this wideawake committee one member of which is a I hole team in himself The business before the committee was cleared up in about half an hour and some little time was then devoted to informal discussion regarding the proposed exhibit and the wonderful progress which is being made The announcement was made that the city subscription committees will I start on their rounds this mornne and the indications are that they will meet with great success The people of this city are very enthusiastic over the fair and many pledges of financial I support have already been made without solicitation After a full consideration the following appeal and address to the people of the territory was drawn up adopted and copies ordered sent to every newspaper in the territory and all commercial bodies and county courts AN APPEAL The executive committee for Utah of the Midwinter fair send greetings st the men and women of Utah and in the interest of the whole territory make this appeal Let us in San Francisco supplement the work done by you In Chicago Times are hard careful men are reducing I their business to the most i economic basis

enterprise will be 0 I tun on the most economical scale but somemoney will be needed There are but few who cannot con tribute a trifle The amount required is not large and ought nount reqUred Single day Will ndt the people In the various counties meet and at once communicate with the committee informing the committee what can be done with what the respective counties require Our mineral display ought to excel alLothers in beauty variety and worth Our manufactures should vie with each other to make the display in their line superb Our fruits gin and vegetables should challenge competition In

They alighted from a flying freight at Los Angeles i and in the confusion incident to an I I accelerated roll down an embankment I and their subseqi landing in a ditch Sydney broke his leg and Is now living with some degree of comfort notwithstanding his broken limb Th journey of the two young men to the coast has not been such a harsh one as might be imagined Judging from the neatness of Mr I Paynes raiment and the absence of grime from his hands and face he I has not been obliged to ride very far on brakebeams or conceal himself under the seats of passenger coaches or do any of the things that tramps and professional hobos are supposed to do But he doesnt care to tell just how he manages to get along Mr I Payne expects to write a good deal about his trip and he does not want to have his material made stale by premature publication He admits that his journey so far except for the accident of his companion was rather enjoyable He says he has had plenty to eat but he will not tell How he manages to persuade people to feed him and to feed him well too or how he induces conductors to let him ride on their trains just as though he had a ticket i He hinted that he had some mysterious scheme by which the proprietors of hotels were to be advertised and he said that they were all more than anxious to feed and shelter him in return for the benefits they will derive After leaving Chicago they proceeded to New Orleans by means of freight trains and obliging train hands They I i were there honored by the famous Olympic club which tendered them a I banquet At this banquet they met VicePresident Theme of the Texas Pacific railway the young man whom rumor says is going to marry Miss I Helen Gould He offered them passes over his lines which they were compelled I to refuse but he told them they would have no trouble in getting over the road and strangely enough they did have no trouble From New Orleans they went to the City of Mexico by way of Laredo and thence to Los Angeles by way of El Paso Down in Mexico I was rather more difficult Payne does not understand much Spanish and he found i rather hard work sometimes to make the people understand that he wanted to eat That is it was no great task to let I them know that he was hungry but they could not comprehend from his signs and imperfect talk why they should feed him Payne Is allowed sixtyeight pounds of baggage which is forwarded for him from city to town and vice versa by Wells Fargo Co and this baggage has enabled him to keep supplied with clean lars linen and starched shirts and col I larsHe He expresses himself as being fully confident of reaching the point he started from within the stipulated time 1 Hope Immortality In reference Colonel Ingersolls hope for immortality we may remark than any othen than blissful immortality is Infinitely the most undesirable thing that can be conceived by the soul of man The thought of immortality in hell of eternal torment among the damned is awful Even the prospect of suffering for ages in purgatory is terrifying There was a Frenchman who once said that he would rather that his soul should be damned after death than annihilated at death but that Frenchman was a fool Let anyone read the Scriptural descriptions of hell and conceive a living there through eternity The late Renan talked about damnation but then he did not believe in it We repeat that when the unbelieving Ingersoll hopes for immortality he must mean immortal bliss In other words he must hope for heaven a glorious hope We doubt whether most people would like the prospect of everlasting life even on earth if all the vicissitudes from which man suffers in this life were to continue forever There is a cry that often comes from the depths of a human heart Rest for the weary soulNaw York Sun Will Divide 30OOO Yale and Princeton will divide equally about 530000 as the result of the game of football played on Manhattan field Tnanksbiving day Mr Van Duzer the treasurer
