Salt Lake evening Democrat. [volume] (Salt Lake City, Utah) 1885-1887, 1885-05-02

President Van Buren, could do nothing
Tor them was because their wrongs came
from the men OF Missouri, and it was the
duty OF that State to shield and protect
them, and not OF the general government.
For President Van Buren to have inter-
fered in their behalf under the circum-
stances, would have been for him to
usurp the right of local self government,
and violate his oath of office. To the
Mormons this doctrine may seem strange,
but it is as pure Democratic doctrine
as Jefferson or Monroe ever promul-
gated.
The next paragraph complains of that
which is done by the Mormons every day
selecting those of their own party for
Office in preference to any one else. In
regard to the postmasters in many of the
smaller towns of the Territory, we be-
lieve the Declaration is just in its com
plant. But the complaint about the ap-
pointm ent of other Federal officials, such
as Judges, Governors, Marshals and the
like is not so just, as in this the Govern
ment has always been uniform in its
practices in all the Territories, and proba
bly, will adhere in future to the practices
Of the past.
Many OF the complaints about the Utah
Commission are we'll founded, especially
that part which tells of how the Commis-
sion assumed to go far beyond the powers
which Congress conferred upon them.
The Declaration severely denounces
that part of the oath which the Com
mission first promulgated, which
contained provision with regard to CO.
habiting in the marriage relation, but
does not mention the fact that every provi-
sion upon the statutes of Utah against
adultery and crimes against chastity has
been repealed by the Utah Legislature,
and not at the instance of the Governor,
either.
The Declaration in no part offers any
suggestion as to continuance or dis
continuance of polygamy in Utah, and
none will deny that to-day's mass meet
ings are called on account of the prosecu-
tons for polygamy, and to see if some
thing could not be done to have them
cease. And an hundred thousand people
are convened to discuss this question,
and in their Declaration of Grievances
they merely ask for commission to in
vestigate affairs in Utah All, we'll the
people will have to learn some things by
experience yet, and among them that
mass meetings and protestations are not
good reasons for discontinuing the
enforcement of a law against
system which "they have no
idea that it should become universal" )"
but more especially when it is mistaken
idea that their "church favors the propa-
cation of this doctrine or seeks to estab-
lish it as universal system" Not even
a disturbance of commercial values will
stop the enforcement of the laws, nor will
business depression. A declaration by
the people that they will abide by the
laws as interpreted by the United States
courts, is the only thing that will stop
the prosecutions, and it is the only thing
that should. a

TESTS OF IRONCLADS.
Built Upon Theory and Experiments
The True Test is Actual War.
[St. Louis Globe-Democrat.l !

[St. Louis Globe-Democrat.l
Though the English navy Is vastly
superior In every way to the Russian, a
war between those nations would be
watched with eager interest by naval
authorities all over the world, because it
would fix the value of the modern IRON
clad III warfare. There have been MANY
revolutions in ship-building in the present
century, and even in the present genera
ton. The English vessels, like the Mino-
taur, Achilles and Black Prince, whose
AZ inches of plate made them the terrors
OF the sea early in our civil war, are but
thin sheets to the tremendous floating
tOrtresses that now defend Europe upon
the ocean. Some of these, like the In
flexible, which did such dreadful work at
Alexandria, have armor from p to feet
thick, over teak of equal thickness.
and carry S1-ton guns. Most of the
European nations have build these mon
sters within the last 10 years, and are
still adding to them. Yet though some
OF these vessels cost $4,O00,0OO, the
modern navy is built upon theory; it is
only experimental, and its test is vet to
come. There has never, with one excep-
ton, been an important battle between
lronclads In European waters, and that
was won by skill in maneuvring; while
the engagement between the Chilean and
Peruvian lronclads, a few years ago, also
failed to throw light upon various doubt
full points.
10 this uncertainty, no doubt, is due a
good share of the pessimistic talk
which has been INDUCED in by English |
naval men and politicians. The same |
criticisms have been made in France |
and Germany of their own vessels
Each nation has cold fits of fearing that
Its navy will be found inefficient in time
OF war, because none of them know lust
What constitutes strength. We hear
much about horizontal and vertical
plates, about belted ships and unarm-
ored ends, but scarcely any two author
tues agree. One representative of the
Adniraity declares that vessel like the
Admiral Duperre, belted with armor
would inevitably capsize in a moderate
sea, II the woodwork above the armor
was shot away; another SAYS the same
thing would happen to citadel shin If
her uuarmored ends were shot away.
while a third declares that neither wonId
capslze, and others deny that the m
portions could be wholly de-
Stroyed under any circumstances. Mixed
up IN these problems are the questions
OF guns and projectiles 1t is
believed that no armor has vet
been made which the Krupp and
Armstrong guns will not penetrate. Ger
-alnly all that tested in the remarkable
trails OF Spezzia, Italy, last August, was
shattered by the Krupp steel proiectile.
Most OF the navies are, therefore, adopt |
NC. steel projectiles, but there are ex-
oerlmenters who still contend for the
superior penetrating power of chilled
ron, while others favor combination of
he two-a steel shot, with chilled iron S
,oint.
