Show The republican papers are claiming a great victory in the new county of Carbon, but they will be likely to change their views after the fall elections elec-tions are over. Of course we have no idea that the differences between the democracy and the citizens party are permanent or even of a nature to at all disturb the entente cordiale next time. It is an admitted fact that the citizen's party there is composed almost exclusively ex-clusively of democrats. These will return re-turn to their allegiance because it is their only hope for the future of Car- i bon. Eeunited, the party will sweep the republicans of Carbon county into Trice Kiver with the utmoet ease. We have not the elighteet disposition disposi-tion to interfere in any way with tLe business of Salt Lake. It may whip tLe copper plant devil around the etump as it pleases, If the C. plant is satisfied with the $25,000, is willing to go ahead and complete the contract at that figure, fig-ure, we fail to see what difference it makes whether the land is actually worth that Bum or not. The enterprise enter-prise is surely worth that sum to Salt Lake, Give it the bonds, let it buy . lands, last year's persimmons or pos-gom pos-gom with the proceeds, or whatever . ; i y . else it pleases. We are not much in favor of subsidies anyhow, but this is a case where it is all right if it ever is. The Lexington ministerial union is after the colonel with a sharp stick. They declare that his candidacy for reelection re-election is "an impudent defiance of all personal chastity, domestic purity and religious integrity, corrupt and corrupting, corrupt-ing, a misrepresentation of the Bocial Order of our community, a debauching example for the youth and in every way a peril to truth and righteousness." That's pretty strong, to be sure. The No-To-Bac proprietors yesterday yester-day wired Coxey proposing to hire his entire army to work in the service of that tobacco-habit cure. The Tobacco To-bacco Trust is trying to buy out the concern as its operations are ruining the trade. The riot spirit in Cleveland seems about ripe for blood now. Unless something some-thing is done pretty soon the union and non-union men -will -be clutching each other's throats and 'we will have worse than Coxey to contend with. Again they are having trouble with the gold reserve. It is now below the $100,000,000 requirement. Who will buy the next $50,000,000 bond issue which seems to be something for the near future to consider? Echoes from the bimetalic congress in London are coming in and the hearts of all true silver men are glad-ened glad-ened thereby. The commonwealers made but a sorry appearance when arraigned before be-fore the court in Washington. Cheyenne has caught Denver's spirit and declares also that the gamblers gam-blers must go. |
