.J1CKSON US. DEMOCPdCV

Once more the Democratic party is 10 be COM
plimented for wise words by one of its earliest
leaders. A letter from President jackson To
Mr.. Monroe, dated in 1916, has been published,
In which advice is given altogether Inconsistent
with the course which Mr. jackson himself
afterward pursued. He urged Mr. Monroe to
select "characters most conspicuous for their
1probity, virtue, capacity and irmncss, without
aany regard To party" and declared, in every
Selection party and party feeling should be
@avolded. Now is the time to exterminate the
monster called party spirit" And this was
the same Jackson who, a little later, cut of
more official heads for purely partisan reasons
than all the Presidents that had preceded him
from the foundation of the Government. This
was the same Jackson whose unrclenting hos
tility to political opponents, whose savage
party spirit, whose vindictive feeling toward all
antagonists. whose disregard of all broad and
patriotic considerations in the punishment of his
foes, formed the mould, SO to speak, In
which was cast the Democratic pai ty as 1t has
since existed. Its spirit from that day to this
has been Jackson's intolcrant and merciless
hatred of its opponents, Jacksons unhesitating
use of all the powers of the Government for
purely party ends, and. it must with regret be
added, Jackson's unworthy cloaking of tho most

shameless and indecent party spirit under pre-
tence of disregard for party.
Jackson died, but his spirit still lives. 10
this day, his party goes about proclaiming that
its chief end IS to 1cxterminate the monster
party spirit" while cherishing within itself the
most savage and vindictive party spirit yet
known within the Republic. 1t faunts before
the country his teachings and Jefferson's
maxims, while degrading all that is best ana
noblest in the land by its hostility to every re-
form, and by glorifying, as triumph OF the
people, victory won by defamation, infamous
fraud and organized assassination.

The laws AGAINST the sale Of poisons seem 20
be pretty effectual. AT least one must suppose
that they are so, ijuC glng from the Klnos vi
poison most used by unhappy people wheh .ney
wish to commit suicide. There are drugs winch
would end life quickly and painlessy but the
suicides generally employ those which are SLOW
in action and cause intense pain. Arsenic, rat
nelson's and Paris green are prime favOrites. 1t
is hardly likely that the unfortunates use those
drugs from choice or ignorance 1he COMFORT
able explanation is that they cannot buy any
other kind without a physicians prescription.
The case in point is that of Mrs. Gertrude
Wheeler, an intelligent woman, who dled yes
terday from rat poison.
Sheriff Davidson can enjoy the Inauguration
of Democratic President to-day with uh-
allowed satisfaction. He has just reaped the
reward his political services and contrlDu-
tons in the last campaign, for Governor Hill
has dismissed the charges against MN pre-
sented to Mr.. Cleveland about year ago
This was precisely what well-informed oD-
servers expected but it is none the less an
outrageous conclusion of the whole matter.
1t was shown by sworn testimony before the
legislative investigating committee, and by
extracts from the official records, that Mr..
Davidson had drawn thousands OF dollars from
the city treasury on fraudulent vouchers thai
he had made fictitious charges for the removal
of prisoners who had never been removed
that he had charged the city for the board OF
persons in Ludlow Street Jail for longer time
than they had stayed there; and that his man
apement of the Jail was revolving. Yet Mr.
Hill saws the charges are not sustained by the
evidence aud that as the Sheriff has since cor
rected such abuses as were called to his atten-
ton the accusations must he dismissed.
Plainly Mr.. Hill means to run for Governor
this fall and wants all the political friends he
can get

They are all there but John Kelly. He doesn't
care to fiddle at another mans show.

An odd question at law has arisen in the Supreme
Court in this city between brother and sister.
An insurance policy is out the brcther's life IN
favor of the sister upon which she pays tho pre-
miums Being bitterly hostile to each other, tho
brother objects to having his death become "A source
of profit to her. and wants the policy declared void
Though it Is not easy to how the law can annul
a contract that is being faithfully performed, yet
the idea that ones death will bo profitable to a
bitter enemy is not altogether cheering.
Out of the nine hundred ninety and nine-and
more-adyisers who claim Mr.. Clevelands capacious
ear the wde-waistod cx Commissioner of Public
Works seems to be preferred above all others In
Mr. Cleveland's eyes he appears altogether lovely.
How does The Ercning Post like it
Tive anarchists were arrested tho other day at
Reichenbcrg in Bohemia aud printing press and

Such combinations appear to be frequently found
nowadays. But they are bad team TO work

who use dynamite must not expect to got a patient

more apt to give heed TO whatsoever messages an-

The bill to increase the power of the ward
trustees in the matter of appointing school
teachers, now under discussion at Albany,
ought not to become law. The trustees
already have too much to say about the ap-
pointments and too often say the wrong thing.
The power should be vested in the Board Of
Education even with less limitation than at
present.

The Governor of Texas has been greatly agi-
tated of late over the depredations committed
along the Rio Grande by rutfians from Mexico.
1t is to be hoped that he will be proportionate-
ly stirred up by the attack which a hundred
cowboys or so are threatening to make upon
the German colony at Marienfeld, which has
offended these ruffians by preserving law and
order At present it looks as if the trouble
would eliminate in war a small scale, unless
the Governor steps in and summarily puts an
end to the cowboys campaign.

The Judges in our courts are frequently
censured by the public for pronouncing too Sc
we're sentences against persons who are guilty
of trihing offences-such as sending man to
prison for five years for stealing so cents. 1t
is only fair, therefore, to call attention to the
fact that Recorder Smyth yesterday did not
punish very poor man who at Christmas time
stole $50 to buy something for his wife and
seven children. This was proper act of
mercy but it would not be well for other men
with large families to consider it as establish
ing precedent.

There is great activity in the various ANA
teur health protective associations throughout
the city, not all of which is likely to add to the
happiness of the official association in MOtt-st.
The Beekman Hill ladies are still investigating
the nuisances along the East River and gathering
evidence on numerous points which will bother
the health officials to explain away, even on the
broad ground that "great interests are in
yolyed.r No mere commercial interest can be
of 80 great importance to the city as the health
of its residents. The death rate in the neigh
borhood of some of the nuisances under anna
teur investigation shows that the inquiry is
well directed.
The reports concerning the advance of
Russia in India have been conflicting from
the start and it has been impossible to tell
lust what to believe. But Lord Granville's
statement in Parliament yesterday shows con-
clusvely that the situation is indeed grave
Russia has refused to withdraw her troops
from their advanced outposts, and the Afghans
have been advised not to retire before them,
but to hold their ground, with the promise that
England would support them. War cannot be
said to be imminent; nor, on the other hand,
with England and Russia glaring at each other
across narrow strip of rough country, can
peace be called assured.
Some strong arguments against permitting
the erection OF any more enormously tall
dwelling houses In this city are presented else
where in this paper. There can be no doubt
that for sanitary reasons, and on account of the
danger from fire, too lofty apartment houses
are Objectionable. They shut out light and air,
and cause great dampness. The difficulties

where are the colored men in sympathy
with the Democratic party who should
be appointed to prominent positions IN
the north?
Mr.. Downey would have Cleveland
give few offices to the negroes, IN or
der to win the votes oil the race for the
Democracy, the fat places to be con-
ferred as sort of bride to the ignorant
masses. 1t is hoped that Mr.. Cleveland
will stoop to no such trick of the dema-
gogue, and especially as there is no oc-
casion for throwing out bats OF this
character The party has at last reached
position as to numbers where it can
be Independent; its majority is assured
and will necessarily increase, even if it
should gain no votes from the ranks OF
the negroes who have shown so much
misplaced affection for the Republicans.
There is one way for the negroes to
obtain Office and exercise influence
they must acquire intelligence, and then
act intelligently in political matters
they cannot blindly follow false leaders
as they have been doing and hope for
material advancement in politics or
position.

AN AGED BAPTIST srINIsTEn.
Two More Important cases.

Your agent being in Columbus Ga, few
days ago, and meeting the venerable brother,
]. Il Campbell, we asked him for the news.
His reply was, 81 have two more important
cures effected by Swift's Specific to report"
This venerable man is known far and wide
for his unremitting labors OF leve in the be-
half of the poor of Columbus. 1t will be re-
mCmbered that the Swift Specific Co. has
donated quite an amount OF their famous
medicine, to be distributed by Mr.. Camp
remark. He said:
81 have just seer. a lady who has been
greatly annoyed by q letter in one of her
hands. 1t had given her much trouble and
pain. She said she had been treated by
several physicians during the past three or
four years with the old remedies, but with
out giving any relief / suggested Swift's
Specific, and she took four bottles and is
now apparently perfectly well. Her hand is
smooth and not single sign of the disease
left. It is marvellous how this medicine
renovates the system"
what about the other case?'
We'll, that was q lady also. She had been
affected with the eczema for four years.
Her face. hands and. arms, as well es her
body, was covered over with sores and
terrible disease that have ever seen. The
suffering of the poor creature was beyond
expression. She tried every remedy at com
mand, including mercury and iodide OF
pOIdsuI OUT Sne OILY grew worse. 5n6 was
| in this condition when 1 first saw the case.
I soon had her taking. swift's Specific, and
she has now only taken two bottles, but
every mark of the disease has almost en-.
tirely disappeared. Her strength and general
health have greatly improved. 1t is one OF
the most charitable cures that has come
| under my observation"
Mr.. Campbell, you have had long and
varied experience in mingling with men
and observing their Affections and the
remedies used-what is your opinion as to
the merits of Swift's Specifc?"
In a ministry of sixty years have
mingled with every class of society, and have
observed closely the variety Of diseases
which affiict humanity. Blood diseases are
the most numerous and the most difficult to
remove. 1t is my deliberate Judgment that
| Swift's Specific is the grandess blood
purifier ever discovered. There is nothing
comparable to 1t. There is nothing too good
to say about Swift's Specific"

THE UTAH NORTHERN.

The movement inaugurated some
months ago, looking to the reinstate-
ment OF Mr.. George ", Thatcher as
superintendent OF the Utah & Northern
railway, is ono which meets the hearty
approval of the people OF Utah gen
orally, and receives the warm endorse
1nent OF those Who have business with
that important branch OF the Union
Pacific SYSTEM. The public have never
fully understood Why Mr.. Thatcher're-
tired from TIE road for which he had
done so much, nor is it essential that the
facts should be stated here; it is sufIi-
cient to say that ii was due solely to the
lealousies of Others which made it any
thing but pleasant for him to remain.
The conditions and circumstances have
now changed, the causes for the inhar-
monious state Of affairs formerly haY
ing been removed. knowing all
the details OF the events leading,
up to Mr.. Thatcher's retirement
a few years ago, but without
having consulted him as to his present
disposition in the premises, or as to his
engagements and circumstances, we
believe he could now consistently re-
sumo the position in which he did SO
much credit to himself and where he
was so useful TO the company that en-
ploved him. Ar. Thatcher took charge
of the road at time when it was not
only insignificant as to length, but was
distressingly unpopular as well, having
the i'll will OF downright hatred OF the
large majority of those who were COM
peiIed to patroni2e it. He was not long
in making a revolution in public senti-
ment with reference to the line, turning
hatred into good will and making
friends of enemies, Not only this, but
he was largely instrumental in extend
ing the line. an important work to which
he devoted his ability with degree Of
energy and earnestness that was charac-
teristic OF the man, and to which was
largely due the immediate success
of the road. When he left the line,
which was after the really hard work was
over, there was general regret among
the patrons of the road, and that
regret has never been ontlived. Some
weeks ago, a petition was forwarded to
President Adams, asking Mr.. Thatcher's
reinstatement. The request was signed
by the leading men of Utah as well as
by the principal merchants and ship
pers. The petition has not been acted
upon by the company. If the mana
gers of the Union Pacific are wise, and
desire the best good for the company
they viii heed The request of these in.
fuential business men, and make Mr..
Thatcher superintendent of the road
for which he has already done so much
and to whose personal interest it is tc
keep the line popular.

THE PERvERsE NIoEMoNs,

Your highly moral editor and news
paper correspondent are both very ur-
gent in their demands that the Mormons
be driven out OF the country and they
are ready with suggestions as TO suit
able landsfor the Saints. Various islands
in the Pacific Ocean. Mexico, Central
and South America, and differentparts
OF Asia, have all been recommended to
the Mormons as offering special induce
ments. A hint is given that the Saints
think Of leaving the United States,
and your highly moral editor
and newspaper correspondent wheel
about and profess alarm at a
threatened hegira which would in
volve the loss of millions to the nation,
and check the growth and Development
of the wide west. 1t wasn't so long ago
that the Mormons were being urged
on all sides to obtain peace and quiet by
taking leave OF the United States; now
rumor, born of nothing and based on
nothing, is circulated to the effect that
the church is trying to purchase Mex
lean State with the view to a general
removal across the border, and the
newspapers are more annoyed at the
threatened pulling up of stakes" than
they were at the prospect of the per-
manent establishment of the church
here in the Rocky Mountains. Will the
time ever arrive when the Mormons can
entirely please the people who borrow
so mnch trouble concerning them?
Respecting this latest story of q
hegira, those familiar with the
Mormons know there is >about. as
great probability of the Saints going to
Mexico, as there is of. Blaine counting
himself into the Presidency. They
couldn't go if they would, and wouldn't
go if they could. Circumstances are
not now as they were thirty-nine years
ago. Then "meve" was possible, and
it was undertaken and carried through
in way that made heroes and
heroines of the few thousands; but a
move" of that character to-day is
simply out of the question, being i'm
possible.
But supposeia general emigration we're
possible, will anybody be kind enough
to explain why there should be re-
moval? There is no country on the
earth where the Mormons can be happier
or better than right here in Utah, which
seems to be land specially adapted to
| them and their requirements. They
have made the country what it is, have
made it according to their liking, they
own it, and why should they want to
leave? People are sometimes guilty OF
very foolish conduct, but we believe i;
is quite generally conceded that what.
ever else the Mormons may be, they are
by no means fools.

REMARKABLE APPEAL.

The open letter to Dorsheimer, Field,
Pulitzer and ether prominent New York
Democrats by George T. Downey, which
appeared IN THE HERALD's Geographic
columns on Friday morning, is a curl
osity in the way of impudence and
begging. Mr.. Downey says the negroes
have been and are afraid of the Dem
Ocrats, and suggests as q means for
overcoming this fear, the gentlemen adj
dressed use their influence to have "a
few prominent eolored persons ap-
pointed to some prominent places of
honor and trust in the north, +" which
would have a modifying influence
upon the whites of the south. !"
and elevate, attach and feed patriot
ism in the colored man. Considering
Imposition that the blacks have main
tanned towards the Democrats. present
ing an almost solid front against the
party. asking favors at the hands of the
Democrats now comes with bad grace
from the negroes, and the more intel
ligent the supplicant the more impudent
IS his appeal. The Democrats have
worked their way to victory against the
opposition OF white Republicans and. the
senseless, inconsiderate hostility of
the blacks who permitted themselves to
be used as the unthinkng instruments
of knavish whites. The Democrats
have won by their own efforts. and the
political triumph is over blacks and Re-
publicans alike; hence nothing is due
to the negroes that the Republicans
might not with equal consistency
ask. If the offices we're to be
apportioned in accordance with the
declaration that to the victors belong
the spoils, where is the colored man of
intelligence who would be entitled to an
Officer If qualification and fitness are
to rule in making selections for offices,
