Archie Green, n negro from Davenport,
assaulted James w. Peak, at the latter's
home on Twelfth street and Third avenue
Wednesday evening with a flat iron, in
dieting injuries which are liable to prove
fatal. The case is an ugly one looked
upon in any light. the circums tancea, as
nearly rs can be ascertaincd, being these:
For some time Green's wife, who, how
ever, is white, has hcen keeping house for
Peak, and it seems her dusky husband
has objected to this, claiming that there
was too much intimacy between them.
Last evening he rushed into the room
where Peak was sitting, and with the re-
mark, you ----, what are you dos
ing with my wife, dealt him
several blows on the head with flat IRON
which he had picked up rs ne entered,
and then fled the premises, The police
were notified and secured the city for
Green but could not find him. A tele-
phone message was sent to Davenport,
and Green arrested on that side near the
government bridge and turned over to
Deputy Marshall Hull who locked him
up in the county Jail. DR. Eyster made
an cxamin alton yesterday morning and
says there is conclusion of the brain of a
serious character.

Salt Lake evening Democrat. [volume] (Salt Lake City, Utah) 1885-1887, 1885-08-18
IS IT MUGWUMP?

Occasionally one hears the charge made
that the present Administration is "Mug
wump." If such is the case, AMI the
general course of President Cleveland
and his Cabinet will hear out that asser.
ton, then the "Mugwump" Administra-
ton thus far is one of the best that our
country has ever seen, and it is sincerely
to be hoped that it may continue "Mug-
wump."
1t is charged that Mr.. Cleveland was
elected as Democrat, and that the peo-
pie are expecting him to give them q
Democratic Administration. The people
are right in expecting Mr. Cleveland to
give them Democratic Administration
and such has been given them. 1t is
claimed that when the people returned
the Democrats to power that they thereby
expressed their desire and will that there
should be an absolute and complete
change in the personnel of the holders
OF various offices. Ii such was what was
meant by the election certainly it was
not $50 nominated in the bond" The
bond given by the Democratic party in
the last election was its platform, and on
this subject said:
'The various offices of the Government be-
long to the people thereof and who riphtfully
demand to exercise and fill the same when
ever they are fitted by capacity, integrity
and energy, the last two qualifications never
to be tested by any scholastic examination.
We hold that frequent changes of Federal
officials are shown 10 be necessary. First.
TO counteract the growing aristocratic ten
denotes to caste of life offices. Second. ex-
perience having shown That all investigation
is useless while the incumbent and his asso-
ciates hold their places. Frequent change
OF officers is necessary to the discovery and
punishment of frauds, peculations and en-
bezzlements OF the public money"
Such were the declarations of the party
at Chicago, July 10, 1884 BY many this
is construed to mean ''clean sweep"
merely for the sake of the sweep. We do
not believe that such is its true meaning;
but TO discover the sentiment of the party
in regard to the matter 1t is only neces-
sary to look at the platforms of other
years on the question OF civil service.
The platform OF 1872 contained this plank:
"The civil service of the Government has
become a mere instrument of partisan ty-
ranny and personal ambition and an object
of personal greed. 1t is q scandal and a re-
proach upon free institutions and breeds
Generalization dangerous to the perpetuity
of Republican Government. We therefore

WHAT WILL THEY DO?

AS the summer draws 10 a close and
the September term OF the courts ap-
proaches, people are returning to the old
and familiar topic in Utah. the topic OF
the law, its violation and its vindication. \
number of prominent Mormons, promin-
ent not only religiously, but socially and
financially, are under indictment, and
their trials will come on in the next sixty
days. What will be their course of action
is the wondernent of all The trials OF
these men and their decision in obeying
the law in future, whether they viii
yield 10 the State or TO the church, may,
so to speak, be compared to the playing
of trump cards in a desperate game for
large stakes. The church may play its
cards and its bluff, but ii will not win.
For the first time in the history of Utah
the people of Utah, who have enjoyed so
much immunity in their lawlessness, are
brought face to face with the fact that
they must render obedience TO the laws
