THE UTAH ELECTION.

In spite of all that was done by the
Utah Commission in the way of reg
istering persons entitled to vote un-
der the Edmunds' law, with a view
to DISTINGUISHING polygamists, the
election in the territory Monday was
a triumph for the Mormons, or would
have been had it risen to the dignity
of a contest Their victory was a
foregone conclusion, and the Gen
tiles did not take the trouble to go
to the polls. The result shows that
Utah is still for the Mormons, for
though the polygamists cannot vote,
the monogamists will do the voting
for them. They took theil instruc'
tionS from the church and when they
reached the polls, obeyed them to
the letter. The Mormon ticket was
successful throughout the whole
territory except in one county which
is still in doubt. This is what all
the legislation, all the protests
in mass meetings throughout the
country, all the appeals to Congress,
have come to. If Uncle Sam has any
respect for himself he must feel as if
he would like to have some one kick
him. AS things are going now, the
first thing he knows the Mormons
will kick him to show more fully
the contempt for him which was
only partly expressed in the vote
Monday.

THE Lo ndon Times has expressed
itself on the telegraphers' strike.
At "a distance of three thousand
miles, the Thunderer gives the stri-
kers a long range broadside, declares
that the Brotherhood has committed
a sort of high treason, that they
were right in demanding higher wa
ges 'if they thought the Western
Union Company could afford to yield
better terms" but that by suddenly
quitting their desks they have "made
an irretrievable mistake;" further,
that the public will wish that the
strikers places will be speedily filed
by other operators. There is news
in all this. The strikers gave the
Western Union due warning of their
intentions, and the public is with
them in their demand.

Daniels Grafton.

Mr.. Daniels grafton, at the I'M
yelling of the Lee Monument at
Lexington, is spoken of as one Of the
finest of modern oratory. We give
the closing paragraphs of his address
as clipped from the Petersburg
Virginian, as follows:
Come we, then, to-day in loyal
love to sanctify our memories, to
purify our hopes, to make strong all
good intent by communion with tn e
spirit of him who being dead, yet
speaketh. Come all, for here he
rests, and
On this green bank, by this stream,
We set to-day a votive stone
That memory may his deeds redeem,
When, like our sires, our sons are gone
Come all, for here the genius of
loftiest poesy, in the artists dream
and through the sculptor'S touch has
restored his form and features. A
Valentine has lifted the marble
veil and disclosed him to us as we
would love to look upon him-lying,
the flower of Knighthood in ''joyous
card" His sword beside him is
sheathed forever, but Honor's seal
is on his brow and Valor's on his
breast, and the peace that passeth all
understanding descends upon him.
Here, not in tie hour of his grand
est triumph on earth, as when, amid
the battles roar, shouting battalions
followed his trenchant sword and
bleeding veterans forgot their
wounds to leap between him and his
enemies but here, in victory su.
preme over Earth itself and over
Death, its conquerer, he rests, his
warfare done.
