Blue Blood.

The term "blue blood" from the
Spanish phrase "sangre azul," is much
used without very clear idea of its
Specification. The real meaning is-not
that the blood itself is blue excepting
that all veuous blood has blush tinge)
but that the person or class to whom
the term is applied have skins so white
and transparent that the veins show blue
through them, and this taken as certain
indication that the class or persons thus
designated are without an admixture of
races. Any one who has travelled in
Spanish-American countries, or in Spain,
where the term originated, would see at
once its applicability. The descendants
OF the Gothic conquerors OF Spain retain
to this day the characteristics OF their
ancestors-the white, transparent skin,
blue eyes, and auburn or tawny hair, and
their veins show blue through their cuti-
Gle; but in case of an admixture OF Afri-
can or Moorish blood the blue blood
(veins) gradually disappear, until in case
OF great preponderance of the latter
races the veins show merely as ridges.
Tourists in Mexico will notice this pecu-
liarity in all Mexican cities, as well as in
the haciendas throughout the country, on
account OF the great admixture OF Indian
(Aztec, Toltec and Tlascalan) blood in
the population, and everywhere they will
find that the people whose veins show
through the skin are the ruling class.

NO HE DIDN'T.

In a biblical discussion of the silver
question this morning, the Tribune has
this:
In these modern times the Lord has given to
the people of the United States free ballot,
and delegated to them the power to right
their wrongs, etc.
Now the Lord didn't do any such thing
any more than He gave the Mormon peo-
pie the right to control Utah, and event
ually to uphold this Government. If
people OF all classes and parties in Utah
would leave the Lord out OF their discus
sions and use more common sense, Utah
would be in much better condition than
she is. The Lord is made to do duty in
all camps, and very often in hostile ones
at the same time.
We bow with great Difference to all the
dicta OF the Tribune, but we cannot sub
scribe to the theory that the Lord gave a
free ballot to the people of the United
States, because the history OF the Consti-
tuition OF the United States nowhere men
tions such fact, nor is it referred to by
Story or Kent or Marshall. The Constitu-
tions OF the United States and the various
States and the laws made in pursuance
Herewith give the free ballot to the
American people.

lucky, while Inca came from
California Kentucky has been |
the great breeding ground for both
trotters and runners, and to say that
a horse came from Kentucky is to shed a
halo of glory around him. The other
great breeding ground for trotters has
been New York State, and Orange county
trotters are famous the world over, and it
is from New York State that Kentucky
got her trotters originally. Trotting
horses are now bred in every State in the
Union, but still it is to Kentucky and
New York that intending purchasers turn
their eyes. We desire to direct the eyes
of our Utah horsemen who contemplate
purchasing trotting stations or mares oil
standard breed, westward and not east
ward. Mr.. John II. Wallace, whose
authority on trotting horses is acknowl-
edged by all, says that California
has more stations with low records than
either Kentucky or New York. In the
matter of standard stations with low rec
ords California stands at the head. This
fact is not generally known nor is the
other fact generally known that the re-
quircments Of the trotting interest to-day
demand that a stallion shall not only be
standard in his breeding and find his ped
igree in the best blood lines, but that he
shall have demonstrated the strength OF
his trotting Inheritance by making low
record for himself. The trotting horses
OF California have the most royal of blood
lines, and they have the added excel
lence OF records. The excel
lence of California horses is
owing chiefly to the efforts of Governor
Stanford, Mr.. j. B. Haggin, Mr.. Bald
win, the Santa Rosa Stock Breeders As
sociation, and to others. We have not a
list OF the California horses before us at
present, but among the stations there
may be mentioned Electioneer, who be-
longs to Governor Stanford; Piedmont,
the same ownership, who is said to be the
best son OF the great Almont; Director,
by Dictator: Sultan; Anteeo, by Elec-
tioneer, who on Friday last made re'
cord of 2.164 in race with Adair. There
are other great horses there besides these
and we recommend our horsemen tc
study the California catalogues, and tc
fully investigate the blood and perform
ances OF her horses before going East tc
purchase. The supply there is abundant
and the prices fair. During the winter
months breeders are usually looking on
for place where they can obtain superio
stock for stud purposes, and Californii
merits close examination from Utal
horsemen.

IN NEW YORK TO-DAY.

So far there is no definite news as TO
the result of the election in New York.
The indications are that Hill has carried
the State, but il may be that Davenport
has; in any event, the contest will be
close, and fought upen party limits. 1t
has been sought by some to prove that
the way to endorse Cleveland's Admins
tration in New York this fall is to vote
for Davenport. From all accounts MIR.
Davenport is a most worthy man person
ally, and one who is honest and sincere
in his adherence to the reform move
ments OF the day. II has been said
that Governor Hill was u spokesman,
but the charge was never substantiated,
and was not because it could not be.
Governor Hill was second on the great
reform ticket of New York three years ago,
and even ran ahead of Cleveland. Then
he was supported by the Independents,
and since he became Governor, through
the election OF Mr.. Cleveland to the Presi-
dency, his official life has been contin-
uation OF Cleveland's policy. Had Gem
eral Carr been placed first on the Repub-
lican ticket, the probabilities are that the
Independent vote would have gone to tho
support OF Hill. 1t is but natural that the
Independents should support Davenport
for he is personally unexceptionable and
Republican, and it is from the Republi
can ranks that the Independents in New
York State came. Their sympathy is with
that party, and when that party puts up a
man whom they endorse they will vote
for him.
1t must always be desirable to have the
Democratic party win, and especially is
this 80 in the State from which the Pres
ident comes. Even ii the election in
New York to-day were to be in favor Of
the Republicans, it would not be con-
demnation of the Administration, because
in the Presidential election of 1884 great
numbers OF the Democrats voted for
Blaine in hopes Of defeating Cleveland.
They did this because Blaine was a
spokesman of the Tammany type, and be-
cause Cleveland was a reformer and an
anti-spoilsman. The election OF the Re-
publican candidate for Governor of New
York in 1885 would be almost the same
thing that many of the Democrats oi
New York City desired in 1884, but
desired on a larger and far more dan
gerous scale. Cleveland is making
his own endorsement, and when 1885
rolls around that endorsement will be
nation wide, and there will not be mem
ber of the Democratic party who will moi
feel proud TO say that Cleveland is q
Democrat, and he has been true to him
self and his party. And if he shall be
renominated in 1888. the Mugwumps viii
rally to his standard as one who has KEEP
his faith with them.

SEEKING RELIEF.

The Chicago Herald OF Saturday last
has the following on the Utah question:
Congress will be assailed this winter by u
powerful and persistent lobby in the interest
of the Mormons. The saints are sin funds"
and they know how to use their corruption
money in political circles as well as the
agents of steamship or land grabbing COM
panies do. For twenty years they have COM
batted legislation calculated to affect them
iniuriously, and during all of that time they
have been unsparing in the use of money.
The power which they exert in business and
politics is apt to be underestimated. The
Mormon hierarchy has trade and financial
connections which are not easily broken,
and by these means it controls men who are
not suspected of affiliation with it in any
thing. 1t is these influences which are more
to be feared, perhaps, than the outspoken
advocacy of any politicians who may
espouse the cause of the church.
There are various ways in which the Ed
munds law might be rendered imperative,
but the one most likely to be tried is that of
amendment. This law has now stood the
test of all the courts, and, if permitted to
remain as it is, it will answer every purpose.
An amendment ostensibly in the interest of
society as against the polygamists might be
30 drawn as to weaken, If not to destroy, the
entire act, and that is likely to be the nature
of the movement that is now in contempla-
ton. Even if such an amendment did not
cripple the Edmunds law it would afford
ground for further appeals and delays which
are not now to be tolerated.
In view of the difficulty that has been ex-
perienced in getting law under which these
offenders could be made to suffer for their
misdeeds, any attempt on the part of Sena-
tors or Congressman TO tamper with the
Edmunds act, no matter under what pretext,
will be open to suspicion and justly 80.
Whether or not the Mormons have used
money to influence Congressional legisla-
ton we do not know. Ii they have, and
have succeeded at various times in buy
ing Congressman, then they have proven
that certain Congressman are no better
than common corruptionists. The at
tempt to purchase Legislators is one that
should be severely punished, but those
who buy are no worse than those who sell.
If the men who are sent to Washington
as Senators and Representatives OF the
people are for sale, are they not
as bad or worse than those who
buy? If Mormons buy political influence
at Washington, let the shame and dis
grace consequent thereon be divided be-
tween the vendor and purchaser, and moi
all be placed to the credit OF the pur-
chaser.
We join with the Herald in hoping that
nothing may be done at Washington this
winter to in any way destroy the good
work that has been done by the Edmundi
law.

EUREKA, TINTIC.
horsernen

Eureka, Tintic, is suffering on account
is in quandary, as it has no municipal
organization whatever, and there is no
local authority to do any thing. The
place contains nearly eight hundred in
habitants and pays large part of Juab
County's revenue, but derives little or no
benefit from the county taxes. From
couple OF gentlemen of Eureka we learned
yesterday that the place now is suffering
from the scourge of diphtheria, and that
nothing is being done prevent its spread
so far as improving the sanitary condition
of the town is concerned. One great source
of ill-health and disease is from the water
which lazily wends its way in the gulch
below the town. In this gulch or hollow
all the stray pigs OF the town congregate
the gulch the stencil is carried into the
town. What the people of Eureka
would like the County Court Of
Juab County to do is to flume
the stream in the gulch, thereby
preventing it from being used as wallow,
and aiding the flow OF the water so as to
prevent it becoming stagnant. The peo-
pie of Eureka think they are entitled to
have this done at the county's expense
on account of the revenue which the
county derives from Eureka. They think
it is the county's duty to do this because
Eureka has no municipal organization
whereby she can aid herself, and that
under the circumstances it is very
properly within the province of the
County Court as being upon public high
way over which the county has control
1t is doubtless within the power OF
the County Court of Juab County to make
regulations forbidding the running at large
OF hogs within the county, and especially
where large numbers OF people are con-
gregated. This should be done as II pre-
vention to the spread OF disease, and
especially when the County Court OF Juab
County recall the fact that large numbers
OF hogs in Eureka have died OF hog chol-
era. Eureka pays some thousands OF
dollars taxes every year, and she certainly
has some rights to protection from the
county even il she has no city government.
We trust the County Court of Juab County
will do the fluming asked by Eureka, and
all other things possible to make the
place habtable and healthy.
