ANYTHING FOR VOTES.

The San Jose Herald makes this good
point: 'In Nevada none of the Repub-
lican speakers dare to say a word about
Mormonism-they want the Mormon
vote. In California it is safer TO abuse
the Saints, and accordingly they are de-
nounced from every Republican plat
form. 1t is just the same with the Chi
nese question. In California Republi-
can politicians are desperately hostile to
the Chinese; in the Eastern States they
not only favor Chinese immigration, but
want the Chinese to become citizens and
vote the Republican ticket"

THE BILL.

Our Republican friends have lost no
opportunity to score Mr.. Cassidy for
voting in favor Of the Naval Appropri-
alton bill. Seemingly regardless Of the
fact that it was plainly a Republican
measure, they kept blazing away, until
recently, as though bent on wounding
Cassidy, even though it should result
in the greatest harm to their own
party. Mr.. Cassidy has explained
his attitude in the premises so clearly
and so satisfactorily, and so often by
this time, that the better class of Ne
vada Republican journals have quit
harp;ng on that subject, Senator }. Z.
Jones speaks in Eureka this evening,
He voted with a large majority OF his
party Tor the Naval Appropriation bill.
Mr.. Jones viii no doubt explain his
vote. The question having been so
freely discussed among his constituency,
it would seem only proper that ne ex-
press his views upon the subject. Being,
of course. in possession of all the facts
it becomes his additional duty, as a
party man, to set the Republican jour
nails OF Nevada right, if they have gone
wrong. These journals have not hesi'
tated to use the New York Sun to
brand Mr.. Cassidy and all others who
voted for the Navy bill as iObbers and
frauds. As Mr.. Jones was among the
number so branded by the Sun it
would be eminently proper for him to
remove il possible the mark that his
party friends have put upon him. In SO
vindicating himself he will do but simple
justice to Mr.. Cassidy.

A very respectable German citizen OF
Eureka, a gentleman whose mind was de-

a California Republican paper, the Brook

it will not be surprising if after awhile we

said to be in some of the beer drinking dis

A Washington letter represents it as
beyond question that Mr.. Blaine's posi-
tlon after the investigation is very unsat-
isfactory both to himself and his friends.
The country has been made to understand
that Mr.. Blaine, as Secretary of State,
was animated by something besides a
sense of duty in championing the Lam
dreau claim. In witnessing Blaine's per-
formance before the committee, no one
could keep out of his mind the striking
similarity between Blaine's manner then
and his manner on the occasion of his per-
iormance with the Mulligan letters
Everybody knew that his purpose when
he read the aforesaid letters, or SO much
OF them as suited his purpose, was to dis
tort the truth and cover up his guilt.
W hile he convinced no one, his object was
measurably accomplished "Guilty, but
not caught" was the popular verdict
then.
The water is continually getting deeper
and deeper for Mr.. Blaine. He no longer
Is the chief of party that is ready to
come to his rescue. But probably no
single fact is so full of meaning to him as
the emphasis with which the leading Jour-
mails of the country utter the popular
.iudment against him.
For causes neither trivial nor transitory,
those who to the present moment have
followed Mr. Blaine's fortunes, now re-
alize he is on the down-hill course.
To refer longer to James G. Blaine as
the Plumed Knight is to utter q biting
sarcasm

A PREDICTION.-Ihe Salt Lake Ir1-
6une predicts that within one years time
the people who for years in Utah have
waited in silence, their lips being sealed
by fear, and faith, and pride, will begin
to tell their stories, and that what they
will relate will have everything of pathos
and of sorrow within it. 1t will be rev.
elation which will make the men of this
nation wonder that they were Indifferent
so long, while here, within the domain of
this republic, hearts were breaking by
tens of thousands, and human sacrifices
were as plenty, if not as conspicuous, as
those which, in history, give to the Aztec
temple of Huitzilopochtli SO sinister a
memory. The truth is that a few men
have held 100000 subjects under bond
age; they have gathered to themselves
all the net profits of their earnings; they
have kept them in ignorance they have
made mockery ofhome, and branded with
disgrace defenseless women and innocent
children. To do this they have invoked
perdition in the life to come upon all who
disobeyed, and made this life so un-
comfortable for them that perdition has
been looked forward to as place of
comparative rest.

There is a curious story connected
with the dismissal from Office of Elliott,
the South Carolina negro, who was made
special treasury agent by Secretary
Sherman, and who, in spite of his yenal
record, has always figured as one of the
leading colored politicians of the South.
1t appears that the President recently
made four appointments to Federal offices
in Louisiana; all of which were exceed
ingly distasteful to prominent colored
Republicans there. Some of the appoint
ees, it is true, were colored men, but they
were illiterate and miserable creatures,
while the appointments of Pinchback and
Wharton, since dead, were almost equally
obnoxious. The colored objectors, some
of whom are members of the State Re
publican committee of Louisiana, there
upon decided to make protest to the
President, and, Elliott being down there,
they induced him to prepare it. The con-
sequence was the preparation of very
able document, which is said by those
who have seen it to place the administra-
tion in very awkward position. Sena-
tor Kellogg, of Louisiana, in whose inter-
est the appointments were made, found
that Elliott was the author of this docu-
ment, and went to Arthur and had him
dismissed from Office, and now Elliott's
friends are trying to get him restored.
