The Cincinnati Gazette has discovered one
section of the country in which Republican
ism is growing strong. The party Is dead In
the South, dying in the West. feeble even In
New England, but In Utah Republican pros
poets are brilliant and promising. Delegate
Cannon, who Is q Mormon says the Gazette,
declares that the growth of Republican SEN
timent in Utah is steady and constant. The
older Mormons incline to be Democrats, but
the younger ones-the new generation
Republicans. He thinks that If the Territory
was admitted Us q State 1t would be reliably
Republican as between the two old parties.
A Mormon alliance is just what Is needed to
save the Republicans. That party and Its
followers have always shown q tenderness to-
wards Mormonism- of its representatives
in the Senate is practical Mormon, n blga-
mist. We hardly think that the Democrats
will care to dispute Utah with the Republi-
cans. They will gladly allow the latter to
have tho entire Church OF Latter Day
Saints" II they wish 1t.

A MERRY CHRISTMAS.

The DEMOCRAT comes to-day with the
greetings OF the season TO all It's patrons, and
invokes upon them and theirs the blessings
of peace, good will and plenty. In many a
household and by many a ireside Of our city
our kindly salutation will be read by eyes
yet dimmed with the tears OF sorrows too
hope that TO all stricken hearts IL may bring
something Of comfort and consolation. We
and consolation to all these stricken homes
and that some good spirit might come to us,
them all and show them TO us as they are ;
and toll us how we might make tho waste
places glad and tho sorrowful full of joy To
every little waif we would be Santa Claus
to every Borrowing mother and father we
would return tho lost darling whose empty
stocking hangs by tho fireplace.
These things we cannot debut we can re-
mind all our readers OF the sacred associa-
tions Of the day that 1t is n day for love and
kindness, for charity to the stranger. the poor
and the needy. and for good cheer and hos
pitality at home. To these offices let the holy
day be consecrated. and, when the night time
comes, there will not be one sad heart In all
tho city that shall not experience tho exceed
Ing joy OF him who gives or him who receives
There are none of US too poor but we can
make one heart glad-even though II be but
the heart OF little child. This Is the one
day Of all the year-when men and women
by common consent, open their shut-up
hearts and feel that those below them are
fellow beings. and not travellers upon other
journeys whosespathways and landmarks are
unknown to them. This feeling Of common
sympathy and universal brotherhood is more
sacred than any sorrow-it is sacred to HIM
who taught us to love our neighbor as our
selves Let us all but yield ourselves to this
kindly impulse. and we shall indeed have n

In reply to direct parliamentary inquiry
In the House Of Commons, the Home Secre-
tary pronounces as an exaggeration the
opinion that tho British nation is now face to
face with such crisis rs this generation has
not known. The Secretary directs attention
to tho condition of Liverpool, Manchester
and Edinburgh as evidence Of this. Unfortu-
nately the general advices from England do
not confirm this statement. Even In Man
chester the greatest distress is reported, and
in London, the seat Of government, such
financial depression and general suffering
prevails as TO excite the liveliest apprehen-
sion among those who take an interest In tho
condition Of the working classes. AS bad as
business affairs and tho condition Of the
masses is In this country, it is evident that
the situation is much worse in Great Britain.
The statement Of the Home Secretary cannot
disguise this fact. OF which the English dis
patches daily contain abundant corrobora-
ton.

H. Il. Wright, Of Pennsylvania. who puts
himself forward In Congress as tho repre-
sentative of the workingmen Of the country,
succeeded the other day In getting before the
House his bill to loan SlO,000,0o0 to laboring
men. $500 to each man. There Is not the
slightest possibility Of Congress passing this
absurd measure, although some demagogues,
living in the mining and manufacturing dis
iricts of the North. will probably vote for i TO
curry favor with their constituents. The
only trouble about 1t is that Wright and the
Nationals have talked about this bill 30 much,
discussing IL on the stump during the last
campaign. that they have made many work
ingmen believe that il would lie adopted.

There seems to be q possibility Of the debt
OF Tennessee being arranged and scaled.
Several plans to this end have been suggested
by the bondhoIders, but these have always
been declined and rcpudlated by the Lcgisla-
turc. 1t Is said that when the Legislature
meets next month tn" Governor will forward
a recommendation to IL, TO scale the debt at
60 cents on the dollar. TO bear per cent inter
nst. or at 40 cents on the dollar, to bear per
cent interest. This is equivalent to reduction
Of GA per cent in the annual interest, ana VIII,

There seems to be little doubt that the bond
holders will accept these terms The debt Of
Tennessee Is at present S25,ooo,ooo; at this
ratio of scaling the interest will be only 5000

The Kansas City Times advocates the Sc

Kansas City is undoubtedly In the latter State

relations, politics. ideas, etc, are all thor

line of longitude. Kansas City is situated at
the junction of the Missouri and Kansas
rivers, on the Kansas side. The boundary

rivers a short distance west of the city thus
throwing 1t into Missouri. Kansas City,
therefore, stands in triangle. each of whose

Being the chief commercial city Of Kansas, it
naturally leans towards that State indeed,

town there would not be ten votes against
this secession. The people Of Kansas seem
equally favorable to this proposed change.
and the press OF that State promise to well

Kansas The sole objection to this scheme
is the fact that the Legislature Of Missouri
will probably not consent to rob their State of
this territory and population.
This Is not the first time that such changes
IN State lines have been proposed; il is sell

The Morchouse Clarion Is philosopher

It remarks that it does not think these COM
plants altogether Just. "One hundred pounds
OF cotton will buy barrel OF pork now.
when cotton used to sell at fifteen cents q
pound it took 200 pounds TO buy this pork.
The Clarion is right; all staple articles have
fallen in price, and cotton has fallen less than
a great many others. Although 1T will not

the fall in value. They contracted debts on
che basis of cotton at fifteen cents pound,
and have to pay interest and principal on the
basis OF cotton at eight cents: In other words
