BOYCOTTING.

On Friday, December 11th, at about 4
o'clock p. M, paper was handed into
the DEMOCRAT office signed by number
of bankers and other heretofore patrons
of this paper, ordering their advertise
ments to be discontinued. The first forms
had gone to press and it was then inn
possible to take the advertisements out
Saturday evening they were taken out as
requested. Yesterday evening some of
these advertisements were reinserted, but
this was a mistake and should not
have occurred. 1t happened in this wise: I:
Our regular foreman was at the District
Court making a stenographic report of the
remarks of Mr. Varian in the Lewis case,
and he detailed one Of the typos to act as
foreman yesterday. The typo SO detailed
knew nothing of the order discontinuing
these advertisements, and inserted them
by mistake. We regret that the mistake
occurred, and we will see that it does not
happen again. We have deemed it proper
to say this much in explanation of the
temperance of those advertisements
yesterday.
Boycotting is proper if people choose to
use such arguments to enforce correct
views on any subject. Its use is
peurile in the extreme and indicates far
more of prejudice than of principle. To
study boycotting properly it is best to
study it comparatively, the same as phil
ology and anatomy are studied. On the
10th of March last an organization of the
Mormon church known as the Young
Mems Mutual Improvement Association,
which has many branches, held confer
ence in the Assembly Hall of this city.
At this conference series of resolutions
were unanimously adopted. These resolu-
tions were of boycotting nature and will
be found below paralleled with another
set of resolutions. These resolutions were
specific in purpose but general as to the
individuals boycotted. On the 10th of
December, 1885, number of bankers,
merchants and others" adopted boy
cotting resolution, but in this case the
person, or rather the paper, to be boy
cotted was specifically named. The paper
so named was the DEMOCRAT. We parel
lei these resolutions for convenience's
sake, those on the left hand being the
resolutions of the Mormon boys and those
on the right being the resolutions OF the
"bankers, merchants and others''
Salt Lake evening Democrat. [volume] (Salt Lake City, Utah) 1885-1887, 1885-12-15

The "bankers, merchants and others"
who have withdrawn their patronage
from the DEMOCRAT had perfect right to
DO so, but we assure them that their en-
deayor to eoerce this paper into an accept
ance OF laeir views on any subject will be
futile. I ..sa geItlemen have assumed to
decide q most important question er
cathsdra and 10 enforce their decision
with bull or communication. They
have most siynally failed in this instance
and will in all Others in which they en-
ploy the same methods. We trust that
in the future that these bankers, mer-
chants and Others who prate so glibely
about the intolerance and bigotry of the
Mormons i'll tier. tempt to boycott all
who are not of their particular faith will
remember to take the beam out of their
own eyes before they undertake
to remove the mote from the eyes of the
Mormons. On the subject of boycotting
we recommend them to attentively study
the following words from an editorial of
the Tribune in reply to question by
correspondent of that paper as to what
was its opinion on boycotting: "It is gen.
orally most cowardly proceeding; it is
generally subversive of the liberties of
the country; it generally seeks to take
asndm the citizen the right to choose for
SELF what is best for his own good"

High Praise for Secretary Whitney.

The first annual report of Secretary
Whitney is an admirable document. 1t
shows that the dreary line of Borie, Robe
son, Thompson and Chandler has at last
been broken by the succession to the navy
secretaryship of man of character, ideas
and courage. The report will impress
unprejudiced readers with the feeling that
the official who wrote it is not only
desirous of putting the navy on a busi-
ness basis, but that he has the capacity
to do this work honestly and economically.

| We, the undersign-
ed, bankers, mer-
chants and Others of
this city, recognizing
the fact that the pro-
duction of silver is
the leading industry
of Utah, and the one
on which the COM
mercial prosperity of
Utah is mainly rest
ing, and believing
that its demonetiza-
tion was a grave COM

any further unfriend-

this metal will be dis
astrous to the country
at large-cannot con-
sistently lend our sup.
port to a paper advo-
eating and approving
the discontinuance of
silver coinage, eide
leader in the DEMO
Graf of December 9th,
1886, from which we
extract as follows:
"His discussion of
the silver question is
both thorough and
from the right stand
point, and the conclu-
sion he reaches in re-
gard to a discontinue
ance of an enforced
coinage of silver cor
rect, as we look at the
matter. 1t is a knot
ty question, and one
that requires more ex-
act knowledge and a
fuller appreciation of
the laws of trade and
commerce than al
most any other ques-
ton. The question
very nearly approach
es true science, and
to decide one way or
the other requires the
most exact and log
ical reasoning. 1t is
the foremost question
of peace in all COM
mercial countries"
We therefore direct
that our advertise
ments be discontin-
ued after this date.

ST.. LOUIS, Nov. 25.-Hon. Elmer E.
Washburn read a paper on the position
taken by the Chicago Livestock Exchange
toward national legislation relative to con-
tagious diseases before the National Cattle
and Horse Growers Association yesterday.
He suggested the appointment of ma
tional committee to foster proper national
legislation to protect the cattle industry
in all of its branches. Irus Coy, of Chi
cago. read a paper on the same subject,
in which he expressed decided opposition to
the Animal-industry bill, now in operation,
as calculated to create trouble in the cattle
industry, instead OF lasting benefits, mas
much as the industry is practically at the
mercy of veterinarians given to making
sensational reports of the existence Of
pleuro-pneumonia when nothing more dan.
gerous than lung fever the result of over
driving, is in sight

mends that a committee be appointed to

A BEAUTIFUL PRINCESS.
The Laudable Act of Humanity Performed
by the German Crown Princess.

The Laudable Act of Humanity Performed
by the German Crown Princess.
The German Crown Princess has done
very laudable act of practical human
ity in opening at her husbands estate OF
Bomsted, near Potsdam, a kindergarten
for the children of the farm-laborers of
the estate. Here the little ones find
shelter, food and tuition while their
parents are working in the fields. The
institution is built after the fashion OF
English workingmen' houses, and con-
tains a sitting or working room,
kitchen, large sleeping apartment and
a very large garden, with playground.
The children are brought to the institu-
ton at six o'clock in the morning and
stay till nine in the evening, the larger
part of the time being given to play and
rest In the morning they are made to
work in the garden for three-quarters of
an hour, and in the evening for two
hours and half, each child being given
a separate place of garden land to take
care of; it is also permitted to take home
the crop raised. During the forenoon
and afternoon the children are taught,
for about two hours, drawing, plating
and similar handiwork. After dinner
they are put to sleep Tor two hours, as
also for short time after they arrive in
the morning. An old matroA takes
care of the babies, for whom a separate
spot of the garden nearest to the house
and full of shaele-trees has been set
aside The Princess is daily Y sitor at
the institution. and looks to it chat the
little ones are well taken care of.-Chs.

parents here. Alshuler knew none of

Fourth street when four drunken dudes
seized him and began beating him, knock
ing him down, then kicked and pounded
him, and Howard Davis plunged a knife
into his back, slashed him across the
arm, then dragged him into saloon and
left him. The parties were all arrested
and an effort was made to hush up the
matter with money, but they will be pros
ecuted. Much indignation prevails over
the unprovoked assault.
