President Cleveland is consistent In
his civil service reform ideas and as a
consequence, the hungry horde Of Demo-
cratic ofice-seekers at Washington are
developing q gigantic capability for
kicking. &! Very few changes have been
mad e3in comparison to the whole nun
bersof Offices and the policy seems to be
TO comply as strictly as possible with
the rules Of civil service reform.

The difference in opinion concerning
the price Of running a herd per head IS
remarkable. HFaries from ninety cents
to three dollars per year. OF course,
much of this difference Is due to the diff
ference in5st the size Of the herds, the
larger ones being run roportionateiy,
much cheaper. There is also a vast diff y
ference in the ranch expenses, with the !.
profitable side. ne believe, in favor Of /
q liberal, rather than an economical pol
icy. This will increase the cost Of keep
ing, per head, but it will more than be-!
made up by decrease in loss, For In
stance, ine-riding is an expensive thing
to keep up and the outfits that practice {
it are liable to have larger expenses per
head than those that do not. We will
guarantee, however. that these outfits
will not stop line-riding on this account
for the cost is far more than made enp in,
rescuing poor cattle and calves from
death. Thus it is manifest that the out
fit which spends the least money may id
reality, be the most expensiYely con-
Quoted and vice versa. These remarks
are oecasioned by the fact that several
exchanges quote the prop portionate price;
for running different outfits as illnstrat-
ing good or bad manag cement.

Salt Lake evening Democrat. [volume] (Salt Lake City, Utah) 1885-1887, 1885-07-11

hosHlities It is probable that ii will be the
last Indian war OF any size that will ever
occur within the United States. One can
scarcely realize how short a time it is
since the West was continually in alarm
concerning Indian hostilities. The In
dams are dying race, and the white man
is surrounding them on all sides; and
this they realize. Their history has been
a pathetic one, for although cruel
and revengeful in their conduct
on many occasions, it should be
remembered in their favor that cruelty
and injustice too often have been dealt to
them. We may laugh at the idea OF a
"noble red man." but such there have
been, and Cooper's tales are not without
foundation. Future generations will turn
TO them, and to Drake, and Catlin, to
know what the red man was like.

THE INDIGNATION MEETING.

Tonight the Grand Army of the Repub-
lie hold an indignation meeting at the
Federal Court room to "give proper eX-
preston concerning the insult offered to
the national flag on July 4th by the Nor
mons of this city" We cannot conceive
what good will come OF the meeting, es-
pecially as Indignation meetings lose
much of their weight if held some eight
davs after the occurrence of the thing COM
planned of. Saturday last or Monday last
at the latest was the proper time Tor
such a meeting, when it would have
been spontaneous Already great indlg-
nation has been expressed by all classes
of citizens, without reference to party, and
to 90 over the matter again will be some
what monotonous, as every one has said
all he had to say concerning the matter.
If public meeting was to be called, why
was it not called earlier? Can inflam-
matory speeches aid matters now, no
matter how great the indignation? 1t is
safe to say that such thing will not oc-
cur again, and such meeting now will
be but stirring up OF strife that
can do no good. The City
Council have performed their duty
in the matter as public servants by en-
dorsing the hoisting OF the flag at half
mast and giving unstinted praise to those
who did it. Could anything more be
asked of them than to do the bidding OF
their masters who placed them in their
position? They have shown that they
are independent in every respect, and IN
no way subject to any influences other
than high sense of right and public re-
sponsibility. If the hoisting of the flag
at half-mast on the Fourth is kept on
duty too long it is apt to suffer from
too much protesting, just as the
too much protesting of their loyalty and
love for the Constitution by the People S
party makes people doubt of them
We believe that to-night's meeting is
impolitic and that nothing will be gained
by it. All citizens were Justly indignant
at the action of the city and county au,
thorities in regard to the flag, and were
right in expressing their indignation when
and how they did, but as we have before
said the meeting tonight can result in nc
special good and cannot express indigna
ton more properly or more emphatically
than the citizens themselves did on the
Fourth, when they demanded that the
flags on the public buildings be raised tC
the top of the staffs, and their demands
were complied with.

MONTGOMERY AGAIN.

Since Mr. Montgomery's appointment
to the position of Assistant Attorney-Gen-
eral libellers and scandal mongers have
been more than busy circulating stories
concerning him, stories that were calcu
lated to iniure him. The chief theme has
been his two famous, now at least,
speeches on the free school question. He
was against the common school system,
holding the doctrine that to the parents
belonged the right and duty of educating
the child, and not to the State. He gave
his reasons for so holding, and all who
desire to know them may purchase
his speeches. His first crime is that he
is Democrat, and his next one is that
he is a Roman Catholic. People are
very apt to forget in America that we
have no Catholic question, and there do
not exist Ultra -Montanes here in politi-
cal sense. In America it is ofno moment
or concern whom Rome nominates to the
bishoprics, like it is in Germany.
Mr.. Montgomery is still perfectly will
ing to stand by his opinions and to give
his reasons for them, but he has
found that opinions and sayings that
are not his are being attributed to him !;
and he is justly inceDsed at such at
tempts. Only lately the Sandusky Reg
lister has been republishing extracts from
an anonymous pamphlet that was pub
lished some years ago in California and
attributed to Mr.. Montgomery This
purported to be an address delivered be-
fore meeting of Catholic Sunday school
teachers, and in which sentiments that
were unworthy of any man, no matter
what his religion, were uttered.
They are gross libels on Mr..
Montgomery and are an insult to
all who do not profess the faith of the
writer of the pamphleteer, and those
too The Assistant Attorney General has
had occasion before to deny the author
ship OF the pamphlet and to disavow the
sentiments therein expressed, but still
people will circulate them. His last de-
NAL is to the New York Tribune, from
which the Sandusky Register says it
copied the extracts. Were it lesser paper
than the Tribune it would have been bet
ter for Mr.. Montgomery to have ignored
the thing entirely. The hostility to him
from many quarters is hard to under
stand, and seems prompted on account of
Montgomery's independence and bold
ness. Whatever may prompt the hostil
ity to him, which seems quite extensive,
those who credit him with false senti-
ments and the authorship of anonymous
pamphlets, that he denies, injure them
selves far more than they do him.

belongs IS the people, and that they are
the oily true and safe repository OF
that power. That if they supinely allo"
another to WELD that power and make no
effort to wrest it from those who WELD it,
they are not. worthy to use it them
selves. The Democrat who would ask
another to do what he himself may do is
not fit to be called a Democrat. Let all
Democrats within the county be in attend
ance at the mass meeting, and if business
interferes with their attendance, let busi-
ness be put aside and attendance had.
Democracy expects every Democrat to
do his duty.

More Pennsylvania Appointments.

1t Is announced that John d. Biddis,
member Of the state Senate from Pike
county has been appointed deputy solicitor
Of the internal revenue bureau at Washing
ton, a place requiring the exercise Of legal
ability and commanding a salary of about
42,25O. As senator we have freely
criticised some of Mr.. Biddis' votes, and
have found very much to commend in the
integrity, the ability and the industry with
which he has discharged the duties OF his
position. lie has applied himself to them
with exceptional fidelity. He has for many
years been an active leader of the party in
one of its strongholds, in northeastern
Pennsylvania, and he has all the qualities
demanded for the place to which he has
been appointed in high degree.
F.P.Dewees, who has been appointed ar
| assistant in Attorney General Garland's
| Office, is a well known Democratic lawyer
and campaign orator Of Pottsville. III
flew the track on the Greenback issu'
and was once, we believe, state Chairman
of that erratic and misguided movement
but of late years he has been doing valian
service for the regular organization, ant
has the requisite character and ability 10

The Postal Department.

Some of the criticisms and comments on
the new postal rates land all postal reduc-
tions are reforms-indulge the apprehen-
sion that the lowered postage fees will re-
duce the revenues of the postofiice depart
mont, increase the annual deficiencies be-
yond their present figure, and leave the
system, say e5,OOO,OoO or s6,OOO,OOO from
self-support.
Certainly this is no very serious matter.
The postofiice department is the one of
most general public convenience. The
transmission of the news and letters of the
people affects every community and in
tsrests every citizen. 1t reaches to every
cross-roads and penetrates the remotest
corners Of the country. In the more popu-
lous sections, 1T is far more than self-sustain-
ing; for all ordinary distances even the
present low rates pay more than ali the ex-
pens6 Of postofices and post routes. The
dedciencies result from the large expense of
getting meagre amount Of mail matter to
the Tar distant portions of the country,
This the government ought to pay for, upon
the same principle that 1t supports the
army, the navy and the other bureaus of
public service.

Amended Tax Laws.

The governor has signed the general rev.
enue bill, which reduces the state tax on
money at interest from four to three mills
on the dollar, and requires the treasurer OF
every private corporation to pay this tax
to the state upon the bonds it owes. Man
.ufacturing corporations are relieved from
the tax upon their dividends on capital
stock. The state will lose large rev.
enue from this last reduction, but will be
likely to make its loss up by the larger sum
which it will collect frnm. the tax on the
interest on corporation mortgages, becaust
of its ability TO collect it from the corpora
tions instead Of from the bondholders, as i
hitherto has undertaken to do.

IT is believed that the Quay movemen
has reached its flood tide.

The United States import four-fifths OF
the sugar they consume, and that amount Is
by no means small. For every individual OF
our nearly 6O,oOO,OOO of people gets away
with ffty-six pounds OF sugar per annum.
England alone surpasses us with sixty-seven
pounds head. The quantity in France is
twenty-five pounds, in Germany eighteen,
Holland eighteen and one-half pounds, Rus
sia eight pounds. This would go to show
that the American spends more on the
luxuries of life than his foreign brother,
which is pretty generally admitted. The
home consumption of sugar has shown a
steady increase In 1867 1t was twenty-nine
pounds per capita, and last year 1t was fifty
four rounds Recent statistics give the ag-
gregate consumption of sugar, exclusive Of
molasses and syrup, for 1884 at 5000, 600, 900
pounds--2, 49,, 900, 900 pounds, or four-fiflhs,
OF which was imported, and 6iO, 600, 900
pounds produced at home. OF the home pro-
duct 2S7, Z II, 900 was cane sugar from Louisiana
H,OO0,O0O pounds cane sugar from other
states 80, 600 pounds maple sugar l,277,-
600 pounds beet sugar. chiefly from Cali
fornia ; 900 pounds sorghum sugar, and
3OO, 600 pounds glucose. These figures con-
clusively prove that the United States have a
sweet tooth that they are fond of humoring
