Moreover, the time flies very fast, and 1t
will be about all that Congress can do 70
get through satisfactorily the appropTl-
alton bills. These statements are only
interesting in your direction in view OF
the fact that the Rev. r. G. McNiece-
noted as being a champion light weight
is now vending eastward with a view
to creating another anti-Mormon furore-
of the result of his efforts so far
YOU are doubtless better advised
than | am; but even if he were to sue
coed, he is toe late in the season to col
lect the wool-gathering wits of Congress
and get any further action on Utah
affairs this season.
1t is out. Judge Jacob S. Boreman's
object was to secure the place which
=" My Best Guess Twiss no longer de
sires to occupy, and he was nominated
as you are already aware, but he has
not been confirmed, for what reason IS
not known, unless it is indifference.
The Judge stated to your correspondent
that he hardly thought there could be
much opposition to his confirmation,
as he could hardly be expected to hold
the place much over two months. Ii 1T
were not that there was to be change
of administration on March 4th, he APP
pretended, there might be opposition,
as his confirmation would then mean a
probably protracted continuation in
office. He does not seem especially in
fatuated with the prospect, though he
certainly must want the place. He
gave it to be understood that he had
private reasons for taking the place,
even for so brief a period, and with
characteristic reportorial instincts,
your correspondent hadn't the least
desire to ascertain what these reasons
were, but suspected it might be the
judge would lock a second tender of
the place in complimentary light,
and would consider he had
helped his reputation as a lawyer,
either in Utah or elsewhere, by securing
the place q second time even were he re-
leased by the new administration. 1t
is understood he has the assurance of
powerful Democrats in Utah that they
will have him continued in Office even
if he is Republican, after the new adj
ministration comes in. That ought to
settle it. If the Utah Democrats can
boast more of one thing than another,
it is the great power they WELD. A
mere intimation that they considered
such a step advisable, would be cause
enough for President Cleveland to de-
cline taking the chair.
The formation of Cleveland's Cabinet
is not without some interest to Utah,
more especially as there is reason to
believe that Senator Garland is to be the
attorney general. 1t will be recollected
that despite the Constitutional objec-
tons raised by his brother Democrats
to that proposed notorious outrage on
Constitutional liberty, called the Hoar
bill Senator Garland argued and voted
with the Republicans ON that measure,
as he did also for the Edmunds bill. He
is admitted to be bright and able man
and good Constitutional lawyer. A
good deal of interest to western people
centres also in the choice for Secretary
of the Interior. A movement is
on foot to bring influence to bear
to have western man APP
pointed, as only a western man
can thoroughly understand the require
ments and interests of many western
subjects and matters which come nnder
the supervision of the Department OF
the Interior.
This has been an interesting week for
theatricals. Youth" is after the man
ner of I'm the Ranks" and is inferior;
it is very thin-thin as drink OF
water.
"The Private Secretary" is roaring
three-act farce, and certainly one OF the
most successful things of the kind OF
modern times. The piece has the merit
of new situations; it is original in con
ception and in detail, and is full of in
terest, there being all through enough
of uncertainty to give zest and appetite
to the performance. The dialogue Is
very bright /; the bits are new
and it is 4 rafting, go-as-you
