DISSATISFACTION.

There was considerable dissatisfaction
day on account OF the appointment OF
Richard s. Dement,, of Illinois, rs Sur
veyor General of Utah. Dissatisfaction
was not expressed on account of Mr..
Dement, personally, because OF him
nothing is known, but on account OF the
appointment OF one who is to be resi-
dent in Utah after and not prior to his
appointment. Dissatisfaction was also
expressed because there were applica-
tions for the Office from here, and while
we do not know who all the applicants
were we know who one was, and
he is one worthy the confidence OF
the Administration and eminently
well fitted for the office. The gentleman
to whom we refer is Captain L. B. Will
den. The Democratic party in Utah is
largely to blame for the appointment OF a
stranger in place OF local man to the
Surveyor Generalship. Time and again
the DEMOCRAT has shown and urged the
necessity of united action on the part Of
the party in the matter of applicants for
office but nothing has ever been done to
remedy the chaotic condition OF our poll
aics, and the consequence is that home
men, men whose every interest is in Utah,
are constantly cleft" 1t is strange
thing that Eastern men are all so wonder
fully competent to control and manage
Western affairs. Their education seems
to have fitted them for any position from
a Cabinet Office down to pair of old
leather breeches. If the Democratic party
in Utah has not interest and energy
enough to take some active measures
with regard to the filling OF Federal offices
in this Territory, then there should be no
complaining about foreign appointees.
The Democratic party is the best political
party that America has ever seen, but
Democratic henchmen from the East to
run Utah's affairs are no better than Re-
publican henchmen from the East to
run Utah affairs. If good men cannot be
found in Utah our most earnest desire is
that they shall be found out OF Utah, but
we should like for Utah to have one trial

EXPERIMENTING.

The cohabitation clause OF tile Ed
munds law is an experiment. 1t has
been tried, and the experiment has been
found wanting. Already few of those
who have been found guilty of violating
that clause and sentenced therefor, have
served out their term OF punishment and
are now being worshipped as martyrs.
Hero worship is defect of the human
mind, il Carlyle may be believed, al
though he looked upon it otherwise. The
crime of polygamy is punished by impris-
onment for five years and fine OF eight
hundred dollars. This punishment is
imposed for the purpose OF preventing
the formation Of a relationship inconsist-
ent with the best interest of society and
and the State. Unlawful cohabitation is
but continuation OF this relationship
after its formation. II the formation OF
this relationship is so harmful to society
us to justify its punishment by five years
imprisonment and fine Of eight hun
dred dollars, why should not the con-
tinuation OF the relationship be punished
to the same extent? The law Furnishes
for the purpose of protection, but ii the
punishment imposed is insufficient to af-
ford the protection desired, then the pun
ishment should be increased until the
protection is had. That the present
punishment for unlawful cohabtation
does not afford that protection to the mono
gamic system of the family that is de-
sired, all know. II the moral sense OF q
person is not sufficient to cause such per-
son to obey the law as the only safe
guard for all, then such per-
son must be made to obey
the law through physical fear.
The men who have preferred to suffer the
penalty imposed by the law for unlawful
cohabitation have done so because the
physical fear OF the law was not so great
as the fear OF derision and ostracism.
Continually hearing themselves spoken
of as martyrs they gradually imbibe the
idea that they are martyrs, and at last
become convinced that they are. Things
grow by that upon which they are fed.
The men who are confined for six months
for crime and permitted to associate to-
gether all the time, are not confined long
enough to cause them to consider fol
one moment the reason for theil
confinement and whether or moi
such confinement, is just. Associated
confinement can never have the
same effect upon criminals as solitary
confinement, and where men stand more
in fear OF the sentiment of community
than the enforcement OF the law, q short
term of imprisonment will always be
taken in preference to defying such senti
ment. In such cases, neither the person
who breaks the laws nor the community
has any respect for the laws. The mos
pressing need to-day in the solution o
the Utah problem is to make the punish
ment for unlawful cohabitation co-exten
sive with that for polygamy; the abolish
ment OF the statute OF limitations witt
regard to these crimes; the creation of {
concurrent jurisdiction of them by tn,
courts, and sufficient prosecuting fore,
to vindicate the laws. There may b,
other things, but these are among thu
most Indispensable.

THE CLOUD IN THE EAST.

Affairs in Servia and the Balkan PEN
insula are not in quiet state at all. The
present Indications are that the whole
East will be lighted with the flames of
war. A rumor comes that King Milan
is about to declare war, but whether or
not he will dare to remains to be seen.
For him to declare war is to do most
serious thing, serious on account OF the
consequences that would inevitably
follow The smaller Eastern provinces
and principalities are mere puppets in
the hands OF the great Powers, and when
some smaller government such as Ser
via or Bulgaria assumes to act in
accordance with its paper independence,
it is quietly informed, but very forcibly,
that it can only use its independence SO
long as such use shall not interfere with
the peace and harmony OF Europeias
contemplated in the plan OF the great
Powers. The warning is usually needed.
Russia and Austria, France, England
and Germany are all interesting them
selves more or less in this Servian affair,
and they are interesting themselves more
Petersburg gives the key to the whole
situation. 1t says: SIN view OF the pre-
tensions OF the minor States, it is evident
that the conservative policy in accord
ance with the existing treaties offers
the best chance TO prevent II vast conha-
grafton on the Balkan peninsula. "
The Journal being the official organ Of
the Russian Government, its utterances
to be needed. Doubtless Russia prefers
the conservative policy OF existing trea-
ties because she sees no opening for the
furtherance OF her favorite schemes upon
Constantinople. 1t is Europe and not
Turkey that stands in the way of Rus
sia's march upon Constantinople. So
serious has become the situation in Ser
via and the East that already France and
England have entered into an under
standing upon the question, and that un-
derstanding is to observe a strict neutral
ity for the present. A strict neutrality is
generally period OF preparation, and Il
sort OF waiting for something to "turn
up" Bismarck is calmly looking
on, and seems in favor of the pro-
position to recognize the union
OF Roumelia and Bulgaria, and
to oppose any further modifca-
ton of the Treaty of Berlin. This
is substantially the attitude OF Russia, as
indicated in the Journal de 81. Peters
burg. The agreement OF Russia ant

revelation. That epistle enunciated the
doctrine of the Mormon church upon the
right to practice polygamy clearly, forci-
bly, and authoritatively. 1t said:
at should also be understood that the
practice is not generally admissible even
among the Latter-day Saints. 1t is strictly
guarded, the intention being to allow only
those who are above reproach to enter into
the relationship. The practice of the doc
trine is not for extension beyond the church,
and is even limited within its pale"
Whenever the Constitution is invoked
as giving and guaranteeing the right to
practice polygamy, let this authoritative
definition of the right to such practice be
remembered and cited in refutation OF
such invocation, for this definition says
that "the practice OF polygamy is not for
extension beyond the church, and is
even limited within its pale" No consti-
tutional right is so limited.

REMEMBER THIS.

1t is Il rule of logic that where plain
and simple explanation Of any fact will
fully account for it there is no necessity
to look for an abstrusc and distant expla-
nation. 1t is we'll to remember this rule
in all discussions pertaining to the Utah
problem. Those who have been violating
the law OF '62 and the Edmunds law have
ever claimed that as a part OF their relig-
ion they We're protected by the Constitu-
tion in SO doing. The claim was entitled
to respect so long as il was honestly
made, but the claim was entirely refuted
in the case OF Reynolds VS.. United States.
Subsequently to that the claim was
made, but to-day the claim can no longer
be made. No one will claim that the
Constitution was framed and adopted to
protect the members OF Il class and not
all the citizens OF the Republic. Univer-
sal liberty was granted Tor the express
purpose OF abolishing privileges, class
privileges ever having been the bane OF
freedom. There can be no equality where
caste and privilege prevail. The right to
practice polygamy is privilege and be-
longs only to II class. That this is the
case, we need only refer to the epistle
which President Taylor and Mr.. George
O. Cannon addressed to the Mormon peo-
pie at the Logan conference on the 9th
inst Remember that an epistle from the
First Presidency OF the Mormon church
is second in authority only to a direct

Germany upon definate policy, that po-
licy is liable to be the final policy OF the
other Powers, for these two united could
easily dominate the East, for while Rus
sia would take to the field and push her
conauests, Germany would stand at
bay on the Rhine ready to repel any ad-
vance that France and England might
make. Italy will naturally be against
France, while Austria will be content to
remain where she is. The Eastern
question is beginning TO dominate all
others.

THE Ohio election is still the topic
everywhere. So far the result seems
doubtful, both parties claiming the Gov
ernor, and Senate and House. An Off
cial count alone can determine which
party will be triumphant. The Republi-
cans, Of course, claim everything, but
they should remember that many are
claimed but few are chosen.

When the good steamer Havre dis
charged her pilot off the bar at South
Pass, it was nearly dark. The light
from the distant lighthouse almost
touched the horizon Across the blue
waters of the gulf of Mexico tiny
thread of gold stretched out from the
lighthouse to the steamer, the last frail
web connecting her with with the
shore.
AS the distance grew greater the
reflection became more attenuatcd,
and ut last it was broken and the lu-
mious eye set below the horizon.
A steerage passenger, with little
blue cap and loose blouse, was leaning
over the rail of the steamer watching
the reflection on the water. When
the thread snapped he turned his face
toward the bow of the ship and pulled
at his short Marseilles pipe
The steady pulsations of the engine,
as the vessel plowed through the phos-
phorescent water, fashioned itself into
an old refrain, and keeping time to it
