The noblest work of God is man. Man lirst love should be his God, his next his country. You can afford to be about trivial affairs to accom-plish that which must finally come separation of church and state in Utah. I be? you to go and vote for Utah's ad-vancement next Monday i.e., the Lib-eral ticket straight." Frank Stephens made a few remarks on fho situation, and Judge Towers closed the meeting. A KOI SIM; MEETING. RnthusUitlii Gathering of Liberals at the Wentmlninter Mchool. The meeting at the Westminister school grounds was attended more largely than is usual and the interest manifested was pleasing to all Liberals. Judge Powers started the ball rolliug saying of the candidates on the People's-Labo- r ticket that they were working-me- n with hands as homy as silk. Frank Hoffman declared that in pur-suance of the old adage that when the gods would destroy they first make mad the Pooplo's party has anticipated de-struction by producing a ticket which could be accounted for solely on tho ground of insanity. D. N. Straup likened the fusion ticket to tho nino of spades. It is composed of many black spots, is neither high nor low and doesn't count anything for game. City Treasurer Waldeu went iuto statistics and history on Mormon cam-paigns, and said the People's party or Mormon church moves in mysterious ways, its wonders to perform. For the last decade its liabilities have been so increased that it has been trying to form a partnership with respectability. But respectability, the sedate old dame, won't have it. Tho first move of any account was the sending of George Q. Caunou to congress as a republican, but the result was that congress eventually refused Mr. Cannon a seal. Tho next was to send John T. (Vine there as a democrat, but tho result is that auy scheme he fathers is looked on with sus-picion by both parties in that tribunal. He has as much influence th ere , as an American citizen at the court of St. George. I attended a convention in Ogden two years ago, tho democratic convention. It was there that its third move was made to force itself on re-spectability, but it would not work. The fourth and most absurd move it has made is to form a combination with a portion of the laboring element of this city under the guise of being the laborer's friend. Each time this lustful, horry-heade- old profligate makes an advance ou respectability she gives him a greater rebuff, and 'if on Mouday sho does not slap him into obscurity it will not only bo a surprise and disappointment to "the Americans of Utah but to tho whole country, whoso eyes aro constantly and whose hearts aro ever yearning for the re-demption of this priest-ridde- hier-archy. Mr. Waldeu produced excerpts from the records to substantiate his claims that the Mormon office holders in the post were content to sit still and do the monopolizing act and let their duties perform themselves. "You can never carry your point bv assimilating with an organization that defies the government." he said. "By so doing yon detract from the dignitv of labor. You do yourself an injury subatvt,.

"WORKING M KM In a speech delivered at Provo September 2d, 1889, Apostle Heber J. Grant, said: There are labor unions Riming; us, pre-sided over by apostate Mormons. Men are found In Hie secret organizat ions who hold the Priesthood, notwithstanding tills poo. pie have been told time and aKaln by the servants of lod that no latthful Latter-da- y Balut will be found among them. What are we coming to? IN THE SIXTH WARM. Ail Open Air Meeting That Was Largely Attended. In the Sixth ward the meeting was held in the open air, the school-hous- e being unobtainable. C. K. Allen said the questions; at issue were about the same as those which had confronted the Liberal parly ut (he time of its birth in l;o. At that lime the Literals op-posed the People's- party because it is opposed to the principles of free gov-ernment. The only obedience they hav yielded to the laws of the country was forced from them.- In their ad-ministration of sifl'uirs the people were rubbed by taxation and the money w as paid by the auditor into the tilhiug fund. 'Sound political principles must le founded on love for the country and for its institutions. 1). C. Eiehnor closed the meeting with rt statement that opposition to the Liberals conies from a few disgruntled ollice-seeker- s and soreheads. That is the stuff of which the labor ticket is composed. After the election Ferguson mid Gilson will bo of no uso to the People's party and they will bo sum-marily dropped. Mr. Eichnorappealcd to the voters to avoid scratching tickets for in that the hope of the People's parly lies. Heal Estate Notes.

GEANDEST OP THE CAMPAIGN. Big Crowds Also in Attendance at Meet-ings Hold in Several Other Parts of the City. In the jflare .of red fire anil to the sound of the drum and the band tho victory lhat is to come was anticipated at Ben Whiltemore's place up near the Union Pacific depot last night. All day lar barrels and boxes and odds and ends of old lumber had been centraliz-ing nt that point and when night came it was a part of the day there, for the bonfire of which these things formed the basis was so extensive that it dclied the shadows. It was a Liberal affair, with Ben Whittemoro at the lead. Ben Whitte-uiore himself knew what ho was about when he arranged to celebrate ahead of time the Liberal victory, for he has been a Liberal from away back in the years when to have views antagonistic to the church meant to be waylaid in dark places, and there wero plenty of dark places in town then. The j il at form was composed of two flat cars supplied by the Union Pacilic, and on these the speakers gathered to tell the others down in the glare what the ideas of the Liberal party are. C. E. Stanton compared tho candi-dates of the two parties, planing Fergu-son in the light with Professor Allen, tho falher of the free school enactment. Ho sized up the laborers on the other ticket as jawsmiths. One of the t wo opposition tickets is a mongrel, und they are so much alike it is safe to say both are. C. K. Alien said tho personnel of a ticket was of slight moment so long as the men are honest and the principles of the party are good. No credentials are needed for the Liberal party, for its history is a part of that of the 500,000 who fougSt for tho preservation of tho country. Frank Hoffman predicted statehood for Utah in the event that it be shown that the territory is in lino with the principles of the other states. Judge Bowman spoke of the old time Mormon days when in the council chambers of the city it was decided to leave city affairs in the hands of the angels. It was counted a sin in tho days of Brigham to vote for any man at any time unless ho be a Mormon, but now tho apostles are ready to vote for anything to beat the Liberals. W. C. Edwards followed with a short talk as a workingmau to workingmen. Judge Powers olosed the meeting with one of his witty and convincing speeches, likening the People's party iu its present strait to the devil, who, when sick, wanted to be a monk. They are willing to be anything to win. Five years ago (the Mormon church denounced laboi unions and all who be longed to them, yet today it desires to consort with laborers to retain a grip which is throttling the country. The judgo defended the city government against the attacks of the People's party and asked all to vote for the party of liberty for their homes, their country and their God. The Liberal band and the drum corps then led the way to tho Walker house, where both were entertained by Bon Whittemore. The meeting was the greatest of many that have liocn greut. By mil and um. The Union Pacific Arranges Tor a Twelve Hours' Trip to Garfield and Syracuse. THE GAEPIELD BEACH CONCERT, Union Pacific "Work at Cheyenne Some Changes on the Wyoming Di- -, vision Minor Notes, The Union Pacific has arrauged for a grand rail and water trip to Garfield beach and Syracuse on Sunday, Aug-ust 10th. The trip promises to be an un-usually interesting one. From Salt Lake the excursionist will be taken to (iai licld by the Utah & Nevada; from Garfield to Syracuse by water, and from Syracuse back to Salt Lake over the Union Pacific. It will be a graud twelve hours' trip. The voyage on the lake will be made on the schooner "Argo," which has a capacity of 150 persons. The special will leave the Utah & Nevada depot at 7:!)0 a.m., and the schooner will leave Garfield beach for Syraouse at 8:bU , The "Argo" will stop at White springs on Antelope island for lum.1i and will arrive at Syracuse at 4:80p.m., and tho train will leave that point at 5:40 p.m., arriving at Salt Lake at 7:30. The fare for the round trip will be $2. The Garfield Concert. The concert at Garfield beach on Wednesday night will be an enjoyable affair. It is under the direction of Signor Enrico Canipobello, and he will himself sing two solos. One will be "The Vil-lage Blacksmith," and tho other prob-ably tho Toreador song from Carmen. Professor Krouse and Woihe w ill take part as well as the Quintetto club. An excellent programme is being arranged and there will, without doubt, be a largo attendance. Kngineers Going North. The office of Resident Engineer Mc- Cartney of the Union Pacific is now al-most depleted. The work on the Pioche extension is now almost completed and very little remained for the engineers here. Most of the gangs have been transferred to other points, a largo part of them to Portland and Seattle, where a vast amount of work is being done by that company. The Union Pacific is making some very exteusive improvements in the yards at Ogden and have several hun-dred men at work there now. A num-ber of new tracks are being put in and the capacity of the yards more than doubled. Through Pullmans, .The Rio Grande , Western iias made arrangements for the running of tlyough Pullman palace and Pullman turists' sleepers from San Francisco to Grand Junction without change. The cars will run to Ogden over the South-ern Pacific and the Central Pacific and thence to Grand Junction over tho Rio Grande Western. This move is for the purpose of getting ahead of the Union Pacific in througn business. It is ex-pected that the tirs through train over this route will leave' San Francisco to-morrow. . , The Union Pnctfle at Cheyenne. The Union Pacific is rushing things at Cheyenne. About 100 skilled workmen are engaged in shop ' construction, and this force will soon be doubled. Charles McGarvey has an army of men with teams ou his grading contract for $48,-00- Eight miles of, new sidings will be built before winter, and ballast is being hauled from the sand pits of Sherman. In addition, work is piling up in the operated shops and it will be but a short time till the men return to nine hours instead of eight. - . Frank D. Uelaney'e Promotion. Frank B. Delaney, who has been roadmaster of the "Hill" and Cheyenne & Northern districts for several years, has been transferred to the west end, with headquarters at Evanston. His territory will be between the latter place and Ogden ami tho Echo & Park City branch. This is a promotion for Dolaney, who is considered one of the best trackmen and general hustlers on the entire system. lie lately received a flattering personal compliment from General Manager Resseguie. L. (!. Schultz, now setond foreman of the ex-teusive yards at Kock Springs, will be the new roadmaster at Cheyenne. It Beats the Kecord. Yesterday thirty miles of the grade of the Alamosa & Villa Grove branch of the Rio Grande was finished. The remainder of the fifty-fou- r miles will be done iu two weeks. Within seventy-fiv- e days from the letting of the con-tract the eutire construction of the roadbed will be finished, which is the most rapid railroading ever done in the Rockies. Railway Notes.

The Liberal committee has issued tho following circular: HKADqUAIITIillR LlHF.RAI.f'oMMITTKK, t Suit Lake City, July 30, INK). I 11KAK Sue: We wish to call your attention at this time to the importance of your influ-ence In the county election, as you are well aware the People's party are desperate and are resorting to methods peculiar to that party to carry the election, one of which is to create dissension in our ranks. While we do not doubt the faithfulness of every true Liberal yet we wa it to urge upon every one the Importance of his vote and Influence for the cause. See to It that every Liberal friend acquaintance goes to the polls and casts his vote for the Liberal candidates. It means prosperity for Salt Lake City and coun-ty. It means money spent by the capitalists and wages earned by Liberal workingmeu. It means good government and honest ex-penditure of the rinanceg and an advancement of American principles. While to vote the People's party ticket means that the whoels of progress shall be blocked, that American prln-ple- s and Ideas shall tie trampled under the feet of the party. It means an it has always that no true and honest Li berul can expect or obtain employment at their hands. We earnestly urge every Liberal to cast his vote before 10 a. m. Do not full to lo this. It is Important. O. W. Powehs, Chairman.. M. It. Parsons, Secretary. LOCAL HUKVITI'. Table board at the French restaurant opposite Salt Lake theater.

The corner stone of the English Lu-theran church, under erection at Brighton, will be laid tomorrow after-noon, August 8rd, at4 o'clock. Every-body is invited. The Salt Lake Intelligonz-Blat- t yes-terday suspended publication. It was printed at the Deseret News office, and its Liberal tone did not please that plant, so its editor, Dr. Uettrich, quit. A proposition has, however, been made to revive it. John James is in receipt of an impor-tant communication from Prof. Price of San Francisco, relative to the de-struction of the university college of Wales. Thesubjoet is one that goes home to the heart of every Welchman, and natives of that oountry in Salt Lake should communicate with Mr. James. Officer Llntz, at whose house Mrs. Charles and Mr. Schroedcr were yesterday for adultery, says the two were not arrested in a room to-gether. The deputy marshal called Mrs. Charles aside, to spare her the hu-miliation of having the warrant read before the other members of the house-hold.

A Pew Pacts Shown by The Eealty Transactions of the Week. SALE OF LOTS TOE HOME SITES. At The Call Meeting This Moming-T-he Green Eiver Oil Company-Ot- her Brief Notes. The people who thought that Salt Lake had reached the limit in selling small lots and lots for home sites have doubtlessly reversed their judgment. They can't well do otherwise in the face of the recent sales. The transac-tions of the week show that a very largo number of lots changed hands. On Monday the transfers amounted to $35,639; Tuesday, $15,575; Wednesday, $20,148; Thursday, $12,81)5; and Friday, $55,858. These figures show a very healthy state of the realty market. Several transactions in aero tracts of equal importance are also noted among this week's transactions. There is more interest iu acre tracts today than there has been for some time back. Acres are coveted as a rule for improve-ment; the instances where they are sought for speculative purposes being few. The Call Meeting. No business was transacted at the call meeting of tho real estate exchange this morning. Although there was a fair attendance, neither wants nor of-fers were put on the board. Beck, Stephen & Konnedy yesterday sold a small house on Seventh West, be-tween Second and Third South, for $1500. The samo firm also sold 50x148 feet on Ninth South to E. B. Parsons for $1000. A member of the exchange said- this morning that almost the only buyers whom he now found were people who wanted to secure homes for from $1500 to $3000, and pay for them on tho in-stallment plan. The Architects Review. Our architects are busy. Their time is occupied with the buildings construc-ted under their direction, but they are sketching many plans and a considera-ble proportion of these will bo accepta-ble to the owners of property who con-template building. At this season of the year tired nature craves a rest. Prospective builders prefer postponing tho decision of a matter of such moment as the erection of a new business house or residence. A great many are in quest of recreation, enjoying mountain air. The lull is on us and will continue five or six weeks yet, after which there will bo more contracts to record. The Lien. Several inquiries in regard to Utah lien laws have recently reached Tiie Times, and for the benefit of its patrons The Times interviewed a leading attor-ney on the subject. He said: "The statute of Utah gives a Ken to every person performing labor or fur-nishing material, whether at the in-stance of the owner or his agent, but provides that the "aggregate amount of such lien must not exceed the amount which the owner would otherwise be liable to pay." Such lien will attach by giving notice to the owner or his agent within thirty days after com-mencing to perform" the labor or furnish the materials, of tho amount due him or contracted to become due him. A to avail himself of his lien, must include in his notice the amount of the contract with the owner, less any payment for labor performed or materials furnished under the same, before the complainants' lien attached." Joined the Clearing House. The number of banks doing business through the clearing hause was yester-day increased by one the State bank which went in with $18,2511.87 and came out with $12,713.70. At this rate it will swell the weekly clearings over $100,000. Only three banks are now out of the clearing house Zion's Savings, the Utah National, and the National Bank of tho Republic. The Bureau of Transportation. The following circular has been scut out by the bureau of transportation: To the Merchants and Shippers of Salt Lake City: The transportation bureau of the chamber of commerce has been organized for the pui-pos- of Investigating the present coudltion of rates of transportation affecting Salt Ii ketlity, and to take such steps as will relieve, as far as possible, its commercial and manufacturing in- terests from unjust discrimination, and to secure the and united influence of the business community, which may be neces-sary to enlarge the Held of trade and to our tributory resources.

Tho ensuing dramatic season will un-questionably bo the most brilliant in the history of the Salt Lake theater, for several very good reasons, chief of which is that this house will present the combined bookings of both Mauager Burton and Mr. Burgess of tho Grand. The destruction of the Grand results in a season in which very few open dates are to be found, and the house will be open nearly every night. M. B. Curtis starts the ball rolling with a new play, "The Satchen," which had a lively run on the coast. Following conies "The Prince and the Pauper-- adapted from Mark Twain's book and produced by Dan Frohman, with little Elsie Leslie at tho head of the cast. These are the immediate attractions, Curtis coming Monday night and the other show fol-lowing him Thursday. Curtis has sonic very clever people with him. Elsie Leslie is the best stage child ou the road today. Most stage children are wearisome. This little girl is clever enough to be an exception. She has appeared iu "Edith's Burglar," "Little Lord Fauntleroy," and other pieces which depended upon the part to hold the whole fabric together. And so the list of attractions goes among the best. It is so extensive that it is impossible to tell of even the richest. The only way to do is to call up to memory the best things of last season, add to them the cream of new pieces, say "all," and let it go at that. Besides the long and exceptionally good looking list other good things are in store for the patrons of the theater The iutorior has been tastefully deco-rated, new scenery has been added and other improvements have been made in keeping with the opportunities which now face the old house. Just now it would seem that the destruction of the Grand would result in no loss to the theater going public. Notice.
