OF the country, but nevertheless a parallel
for their case can be found in the Southern
States. The question of polygamy is really
the one stumbling block in their case,
and it is a harder question than the
Chinese one. President Hayes is
not called upon to settle it, however,
and he could not without needless and I'M
warrantable discourtesy have refused to
hold interviews with men who after all
claim to be American citizens. 1t is
possible, too, that by talking with the Nor
mon leaders he may have obtained valu-
able new light on the subject, and GER
tainly he must have learned more than if
he had held himself coldly aloof, as the
Gentle residents of Utah seem to have
thought he should have done. The truth
is that the people who live too close to the
source Of bitter controversy are disquali
fed for forming sober judgments in regard
to it. The Utah Gentlles are necessarily
partisans from their situation. They &C.

represents the whole of them, No matter
what they call themselves.

RECOVERY FROM DROWNING.

Two young men narrowly escaped drown
ing in an Oakland swimming bath the other
day, and when they were taken out of the
water insensible the humane bystanders
proceeded to roll them on barrels, and in
other ways administer the imperfect wis
dom of our grandmothers. Now it would
seem that it ought not to be necessary to
point out that these peculiar methods of
restoring half drowned people belong to
the era when fever was treated with hot
fires and piles of blankets, closed windows
and copious bleeding. To roll half
drowned man upon barrel is very good
way to send him the other moiety of the
journey to the Plutonian shore, but it
is very bad way to restore him to life.
Singularly as it may appear to some, it is
not judicious to hold persons up by the
heels to let the water run out of their
mouths, either, and in fact the old fashioned
remedies for drowning undoubtedly
made more subjects for the Coroner than
they rescued. At all public baths it is
proper that some scientific and we'll
attested course of treatment should be
adopted, and legible placards giving clear
directions for the application of this sys-
tenn should be posted conspicuously in
various parts of the establishment. The
rules of the Royal Humane Society are
very good and safe, and there is also
method invented by New York physician
which has had good results. The superin.
tendents and swimming masters of all
baths ought to be furnished with some of
these methods of restoration, and the simple
appliances necessary to them should be
kept at hand always. There is no excuse
in this age of the world for leaving
asphyxiated persons TO the tender mercies
of the experimenters who believe in roll
ing them on barrels, and such like bar
barous fetish,

TIE SAN FRANCISCO ELECTION

The San Francisco charter election
occurs to-day, which fact will doubtless be
pleasing to the readers of the press of that
city, for the contest over this instrument
for several weeks past has seriously
impaired their interest to the general
public 1t is impossible to tell beforehand
how such an election will go, but such
indications as are available are certainly
not of kind to encourage belief in its
adoption. Rightly or wrongly there ap.
pears to be strong popular prejudice
against the new charter. This may easily
be due to its length, which is so great that
comparatively few voters ever have read
it, while still fewer have comprehended it.
When an instrument is obscure it is sure
to be unpopular, it being human nature
always to suspect and fear that which is
unknown. A great agitation has been
stirred up on paper over this question, but
it Is not so certain that full vote will be
polled

pEMoRhL1zgp GREENsAcKERs

The Greenbacker movement in the East
ern States has already almost dropped ont
of sight. The people there have learned
too much by bitter experience to put any
faith in the fat-money lunatics. They
are sensible enough to know when they
are well off, and having at last currency
which stands steadily at par with gold,
they 10 not feel inclined to try any new
experiments The Democrats, with their
usual contempt for principles made haste
TO seek alliances with the Greenbackers,
though in so doing they turned their backs
upon their own platform. There were,
however, many men among the Greenback
ers who, though lamentably heIetical in
financial matters, had ne stomach for Dem
ocratic allies, and the consequence Is that
the bargain which the Democratic man
ayers thought would bring them strength,
has reacted to the advantage OF their OPP
ponents. 4 very striking example Of this
has occurred in Maine, where the Hon. E.
Ii. Cove, Chairman of the Greenback State
Committee, and formerly Greenback can
didate for Congress in the First District,
has resigned his position, and in very
frank letter to the committee announced
his Intention of joining the Republican
party. Mr.. Cove points out that the
alliance between the Democrats and
Greenbackers is hu1riliating to the lat
ter. That they cannot hope Tor "cur-
81 eney reform under 4 party which, as
Scion Chase says, stands upon the hard
"est of hard-money platforms" And that
the issue is neither more nor less than a
sacrifice of the Greenbackers to The solid
South. He Gays, in conclusion g can
see nothing Of advancement to Green
80 back principles in this alliance, so
"a fraught with national peril. l believe
" that the interest and good of the country
+" are best served by the defeat OF the Dem
Z" ocratic party. That may contribute to
% that end in the most immediate and di-
rect manner, l go to the Republican
party" He sacrifices his currency falla-
cies to his patriotic instincts, and he init
mates that there are many other Green
bsckers who will do the same. Let us
hope that by their utilization with intelli.
gent Republicans they viii be cured OF the
SHANGHAI dclusious which have led them
-astsay. Men SO capable of recognizing the
true meaning Of the Democratic proffsr OF
determination vita them cannot be beyond
the reach Of reason IN other matters, and
therefore their conversion may be conf
IDENTIFY hoped for. The case OF Mr.. Cove
shows that the Greenbaok fusion dodge OF
the Democrats IS not panning out as
they thought it would, and the result Of
the Maine election will probably prove
that they have once more been the victims
oil their own trickery and want OF pr:n-
ciple.

THE PRESIDENT AND TIE MoRmoNs

President Hayes had very difficult part
to play in Utah, but he appears to have
managed adroitly, The Mormon officials
at Salt Lake City tried hard to commit
him into accepting formal reception at
their hands, but he steadily refused to do
so. 1t is alleged that he talked freely with
the Mormors, and allowed them to state
their case to him as fully as they pleased.
AS the case stands, it would have been
mere affectation to have done otherwise,
for it is notorious fact that the Mormon
problem is one which has baified the Gov
ment Of the United States, and that all the
efforts OF Congress to deal with it have
been failures, The Mormons meanwhile
are prospecting and multiplying. They
present the curious spectacle of COM
munity living in open defiance OF the laws
Sacramento daily record-union. [volume] (Sacramento [Calif.]) 1875-1891, 1880-09-08

Now the proposition they make is alb
surd, for it involves the employment of a
fund which is not available for any such
purpose, and which could only be diverted
to such purpose by multiplying resump-
ton, and causing the depreciation of the
entire currency OF the country. The rea-
son why the Government does not pay off
the bonds more quickly is because it has
not the means to do so. If it were posi-
bic to pay off the entire public debt with
out bankrupting the country it might be
wise thing to do. But it is not possible,
and neither is it possible to discharge
the bonds which mature next year, in
full. The funds are not in the possession
Of the Government to make such a pay
ment, and that is why it is folly to talk OF
doing it. The gold and silver in the
Treasury constitute the reserve fund upon
which the entire paper currency stands.
If that reserve fund was removed the paper
would instantly depreciate, and the result
would be that in order to discharge about
$50 goo, coo of the national debt the
country would have abandoned specie pay
ments, aud gone back into the slough OF
currency depreciation. a more irrational
and preposterous proposition, in fact, has
never been made, and we are justified
in accusing those who advocate it with
knowledge Of what it would involve, of
being allied with the disloyal and I'M
patriotic elements which have their home
in the Democratic party, and which have,
ever since the breaking OFT of the rebell-
ion, been endeavoring to undermine the
public credit, and to prevent the return to
specie payments. The pretense that any
saving could be effected by the methods
proposed is ridiculously false. 1t would
not only result in no saving, but it
would entail enormous losses upon
the country. 1t would put stop
to the rounding of tho debt, and
by diminishing the revenues, check and
most probably altogether stop its reduc-
ton. People who favor such crazy and
mischievous schemes are assuredly not in
sympathy with Republican financial policy,
no matter what they pretend. They are
in harmony only with Democratic ideas,
and they are active workers for Democratic
doctrines. The Democratic party is the
natural cradle of all such assaults upon
the public credit and the stability OF
the currency, and the Republican party
has fought them from its inception. That
party has done all that has been done
towards paying off the debt, and it alone
can be trusted to continue the faithful dis.
charge of public obligations. Those who
now urge the foolish plans we have
analysed are friends of fat money, sympa
thizers with reputation, and believers II

ries which had their origin in Copperhead

achievements in defense OF the Union.
