WADE HAMpToN's SCHEME.

Wade Hampton has introduced reso-
luton into the Senate which has for its
object the relief of Senators and Congress-
men from solicitations for appointment
to Office. By some this scheme is looked
upon as a huge joke by Hampton, but
that he is in earnest there can be but
little doubt. He aims to make of politics
something else than mere scramble for
office, and to make OF Senators and Con-
gressmen something beside agents for
applicants for office. His plan may not
succeed, but it shows which way the cur
rent of public thought is turning; and
while this plan may fail, it is an earnest
that something will be done. The Admin
istration of this Government on the theory
that "to the victors belong the spoils''
has retarded the progress of the country
and has justly brought the reproach
upon the American system OF govern
ment that it is but scramble for office,
and that where statesmen should guide
demagogues now lead In this very town
there have been men hunting for this
office and that office, while if they put one
hall as much force and energy into cearch
for some regular employment, the reten-
tion OF which is dependent upon ability
and integrity, they would have been
sought for by the business men. The
search for office and the methods EN-
ployed to obtain it are disgusting in the
extreme. This search and these methods
would cease to be ii some such plan rs that
proposed by Senator Hampton were TO
become law, and along with it there were
an extension OF the theory OF civil-service
reform and a raising OF the standard for
admission to Government service. We
are glad that this new movement in the
interest OF better government comes from
Il Democratic Senator; and if the Demo.
cratic party does not support such meas
ures then so. much the worse for the
party, for civi-service reform is fixed
thing in the United States, while any
party that seeks TO rule the country by
the old spoils theory deserves nothing
but to perish

LET THE PEOPLE HEED IT.


The Omaha Herald continues to wage
war upon the Federal officials in Utah and
from an editorial which appeared in the
Herald on the 22d inst, we extract the
following as well worth the sober consid-
Grafton of the people OF Utah:
This is the simple truth about Utah, as ev-
cry man knows who knows anything about
1t, but it does not relieve the Mormon lead
ership from their primary duty of obedience
to the laws. They can never have either
peace or prosperity without yielding that
obedience, and we again warn them of the
disaster that will follow their refusal to obey
the law. Polygamy can never survive
against the will of the nation and the laws
that have been enacted for its suppression.
1t is worse than idle, it is sheer folly and
madness, the madness of suicide and the
folly of giving life and power to the Federal
gang in Utah, for such men as rule in the
Mormon church to contend against the inev-
liable. POlygamy must and will be sup
pressed. This can be done decently and in
order now, with every right of the people of
the Territory intact, If the headship Of that
people will SO resolve. If by false reason
ing and false hopes they shall still persist in
opposing the will of the nation rs embodied
i'll its judicial laws, there is no wrong which
they will not be made to suffer, with nothing
who founded and own Utah.
This is entitled to the consideration of
the people OF Utah, first, because DIR.
Miller has ever been their friend; and,
second, because what he here says about
polygamy-"polygamy must and will be
suppressed" true. That is the thing
upon which the nation is bent first and
foremost, and to accomplish this the
method which promises the greatest sue
cess will be adopted, although its adop-
ton may make many wrongs. The peo-
pile of Utah say it cannot be suppressed
To say SO is folly, and they have but to
read Mill on Liberty to be convinced of
their folly. That it cannot be suppressed
in day is true, and it is also true that
very considerable time will be necessary to
stop it; but they dream idle dreams and
build up false hope by saying that it can
not be done. Some millions OF people
said that this nation could not suppress
slavery nor prevent certain States from
seeding from the Union. Time and four
years of bloody war told different tale
The people OF Utah at times think that
the Government is weak and vacillating
and dare not grapple with this Utah ques-
tion. They mistake leniency and dislike
to resort to radical measures as signs of
weakness and vacillation; that is all. Ii
the people of Utah walked in those ways
of wisdom OF which they talk so much,
they would avoid the evils of which they
now complain rs persecution, but they
wander on rs the fool who heedeth not
the danger and is punished. If such be
their choice, then so be it, for they invite
their own destruction.

A SETTLED QUESTION.

But a lew days since the Tribune made
the assertion that DR.. Miller, of the
Omaha Herald, was working for place
on the Utah Commission, and that he
was urging the appointment OF the editor
OF the DEMOCRAT as Governor OF Utah.
We paid no attention TO the matter, and
only refer to it now because, as the
Tribune said but Wednesday last, "the
Tribune is careful about its facts; it un-
Salt Lake evening Democrat. [volume] (Salt Lake City, Utah) 1885-1887, 1885-12-26

derstands thoroughly the responsibilities
which attach to journalism. In refuta-
tion OF these charges we prefer to let DIR.
Miller speak. The Omaha Herald of
Tuesday aycontained the following editorial:
journalistic missionary, located in Salt
Lake City for the better improvement of
Mormon morals, was recently seized with
another attack of "Dr. Miller" who is ac-
cused of seeking an appointment on the Utah
Commission. DR.. Miller authorizes correc-
tion of the dreadful mistake, and proposes
to do what he may to allay the apprehen-
sion of its terrified Utah contempary. DIR.
Miller is authority for the statement that he
did not seek, has never dreamed of seeking,
and would not accept an appointment upon
that useless and costly fungus called the
Utah Commission, with its five thousand n
year and expenses, under any conceivable
conditions or possible circumstances.
The Salt Lake Tribune also says that DIR.
Miller is trying to have the editor of the
Salt Lake DEMOCRAT (Mr, Young) made Gov
crnor of Utah." Thisis the most amusing of
inventions. 1t was carved in the head of the
confirmed lunatic who does this sort of mild
work for the Tribune, a paper that is no
more capable of telling the truth about the
Mormon people than rabid dog is capable
of discriminating whom he shall bite.
There is not a shadowof truth in either of
the statements about the intentions or acts
of the editor of the Herald. He has, con-
| sistently and openly, at all times and on all
occasions urged upon the representative
men of Utah the necessity and wisdom of
submission to the laws, that all controversy
and conflict about polygamy might end in
Utah. If it were not for the organized ran
cor, hate, and ingenious deviltry of the Salt
Lake Junta of Republican cotton mouths, he
has some ground for believing that results
would be more favorable than they have
been thus far. AS il is, he is not certain OF
anything except that, in spite of the ingen.
ious deviltry aforesaid which has done sc
much to prevent right results, polygamy
must cease in Utah by the ultimate sur
those Federal laws which denounce polyg
amy as wrong and its practice as n crime
| against the State.

himself as the son of DIR. Il. B. FooTE OF New

A Neglected In.ustry.

The cultivation OF fax in Los Angeles
county has been rather spasmodic for
several years aud has almost entirely
disappeared, like the cultivation of cas-
tor beans. Heretofore fax has been
grown only for the seed and has been
raised with little labor on dry and adobe
land without irrigation, while the fibre
the most valuable portion-has been
burned 70 get it out of the way. Such
a waste Of resources is unpardonable.
Flax growing is far more profit
able than grain growing While the
seed is valuable for oil and for medicinal
uses, the fibre is in great demand for
upholstery work, for rope, thread and
cloth, By medern machinery the seed
and the earthly portion of the stalk can
be removed at once without the neces-
sity of spreading and rotting as is done
in the Eastern States. THIS improve
ment by machinery saves a vast amount
of time, labor and expense.
The seed should yield about Sl2 80
per acre at the lowest calculation,
while the fibre il properly cared
for will yield SIS per acre more,
or S27. so per acre. This is better yield
than wheat will average in any part of
the United States, while the fibre, when
manufactured into cloth, thread or cord
age, is increased tenfold in value.
Here in the city of Los Angeles should
be the seat OF the flax industry OF South
ern California. There are millions in it.
Who will lead off i'll this great and sure
ly profitable industry
