JUSTICE IN New York is getting along
so well that she no longer hmps in the
pursuit of the big criminals. The
other day President Fish, of the Marine
Bank. was sent to prison for ten years
and Yesterday the young Napoleon OF
finance, Ferdinand Ward, entered Sing
Sing, where he is to serve the State ten
years as a convict. When one sees
these millionaire rascals rushed into
prison like ordinary criminals. their
money and influence being insufficient
TO keep them cut, he is inclined TO en-
terrain higher degree of regard and
respect for the law which III the past
has been so often applied in way to
defeat justice and bring courts into
contempt. The little fellows, the
poyerty-stricken, miserable wretches
who have hitherto largely filed the
Jalls, will begin to feel that the admin
lstration of justice is not farce and a
humbug when they see the Budden-
sieks, the Wards and Fishes wearing
the striped clothes and breaking stones
side by side with other criminals.

THE FOLLOWING editorial paragraph
from the columns of the Philadelphia
Ameriean is respectfully referred to
Chief Justice Zane. for his judicial con
sideration:
There is just one thing needed in ad-
ministratiOn OF the Edmunds law in
Utah to convince the people that It Is
not the Church of the I.atter-Dav
Saints, but the practice of sexual rela-
tons forbidden by the laws OF the land
that the country is trying to put down
That one thing is the prosecution of
half dozen Gentiles whose conduct has
brought them within the reach of the
law. That there are such people in the
Territory, and that the law as admins
tered does not reach them, seems TO be
beyond dispute. The fact is used by
the Mormon leaders 10 keep their people
from acquieScing in the law, and fur.
niShes them with handle for declaring
that it is a measure of persecution
directed against the Saints. The law
proScribes certain practices, but saws
nothing about the religious convictions
of those who indulge in them. 1t is
aimed as distinctly at Gentle offenders
as at Saints. And surely the authori-
ties are aware how much harm may be
done by directing its penalties against
the latter alone2

emily long list perpetrated bysthis adj
ministration. In their protest our
Provo friends speak generally of
the gentleman's unftness for
the Office, failing 70 go into detail,
and not setting out specific reasons for
their allegations. as they might
have done. Kenney is in no
sense a resident OF Provo his home
for the past eight or ten years being in
Colorado. At one time he resided in
Provo, where he succeeded in making
himself one of the most offensive and
Objectionable persons in town. If any
official should enjoy the confidence Of
the community it is the postmaster, and
tits safe to say that nine out OF ten per-
sons in Provo have little respect and
less confidence in Mr.. Eenney. Whether
or not they are justified in their lack
of respect for and want of trust in the
gentleman matters little; the fact that
the feeling exists should be sufficient to
keep him out of the Office.
However, grievous as it is to make the
admission, We fear the Provo peoples
protest will carry small weight with an
Administration which shows so little
regard for the rights of the people OF
the Territory. So far there has not
been a solitary appointment made on
the re0uest or recommendation OF any
bona fide resident of Utah, whose people
have been consulted in no instance as
to their preferences in the matter OF
Federal appointees. The fact that nom
are appointed to petty post
is an indication that the
people are not to be taken into consid-
Grafton by the Administration in filling
the local offices, hence we apprehend
that the Prove protest wiz meet only

A WEAK CABINET.

The editor of Brick POmerOy's Demoefa
expresses publicly what goodlDemocrat'
have long been talking privately, in re
gard to the Presidents Cabinet. When
the Cabinet was formed the people &C
cepted it heartily and wanted 10 hell
and sustain it. but soon discovered that
Mr.. Cleveland had made the same Rlis-
take in selecting his Constitutional ad-
visers that the Democratic party made
in fixing upon Presidential candidate
last year. The Democrats we're excus-
able for their blunder, as they had been
given nc opportunity to learn the true
character of their man. He had passed
as q Democrat, accepted various offices
as q Democrat and worked harmoni-
ously with the party as a Democrat,
showing his true colors only when it
was too late to help the party to know
the truth. But there was nc good
reason why the President should have
overlooked SO much excellent materie
and made up a Cabinet of the weak
AID unworthy members of the party.
What the Democrat says will find an
echo in the heart OF every true Demo
Graf in the country who is interested in
having vigorous administration, and
IN nominating a strong, active party
organization:
Secretary of the Interior Lamar
proves to be q dreamer, who lacks I'm.
grit, energy and good judgment. He
puts off till tomorrow work that could
be and should be done to-day. He
keeps himself IN nest or Republicans
who are his enemies and bitter workers
against Democrats. He is unfit for the
position in ell, save that he has good
intentions, but lacks the force and prac-
teal ability to clean his end OF the
Aegean stable.
Acknowledgement Garland would |
make better telephone agent than he |
does an expounder of law.
Postanaster-General Villas is not at for |
his position, as he lacks force and nerve I
power sufficient to permeate his depart /
ment. The threshing he had given him
to do was several degrees too large for !
his fail, and but for the help he has,
not only in those under but those above
him, he would never be heard OF.
Secretary Of the Navy Whitney and |
Secretary of the Treasury Manning are
by all odds the best, the strongest and |
most practical men there are IN the !
Cabinet. Without them, President |
Cleveland would be almost as bad off as
Crusoe, who had but one |
faithful friend in his years of probation.
With decidedly weak Cabinet, the
only wonder is that President Cleye
land was not sWamped months ago
