Gladstone is England's greatest
orator now. His recent speeches in
the House of Commons are models of
manly rhetoric and are the most elo-
ouent oratorial efforts of recent Eng
fish politics. They are lofty and pure
in tone and their inherent sincerity
carries conviction. Gladstone is a
man of whom England should he
proud. He has elevated the stand
ard Of craftsmanship and the morale
of nations. This is a greater victory
than to win the most decisive battle.

TROUBLE IN MORMONDQM.

The Mormons are thoroughly
aroused. 1t is not an arousing OF
contrition, but a CONFUSION of fear.
The very foundations of Mormonism
are quaking. The law has laid its
grim grip upon the twin relic" and
bigamy or polygamy will be stamped
out. The Mormons are bowling be-
cause men who have more than one
wife are being sent to the penitenti-
airy. That's where they belong. 1t
is the place the law has provided for
them. If 1t is true, as charged by
the Mormon papers. that there are
Gentiles in Utah who are living in
"unlawful cohahitation," that is no
excuse for polygamy, under religious
or other guise, Such men can and
should be brought to the bar OF JUS
tice IN the same manner as the Nor
mons. but if they are not that fact
does not lessen the enormity of the
crime of polygamy. The so-called
protest just issued by the Mormons
can have no influence either with the
administration or with the people.
The courts of the country
can make no mistakes such as are
claimed to have been made in Utah.
The actions of Judge Zane have been
revie we'd up to date by the Supreme
Court of the United States and by
that tribunal of last resort confirmed.
To assault his decisions is to assault
the honesty and the intelligence OF
the United States Supreme Court
To assall that is almost treason.
The world can rest assured that there
is no persecution in Utah. The law
of the land is simply quietly reaching
down to the root of a great evil. Men
who have been leading a life of de-
bauchery under the guise of religion
are being brought up With a short
turn and the convicts and their as
Aociates in crime r setting up the
cry of persecution, in imitation of
the opening of its ink-bag by the
cutie fish when pursued. Let the
good work 60 on.

The 'spotter'' is a despicable crea-

man. His calling is detestable and
dishonorablea and his work loathsome.

THERE WILL BE NO WAR.

The English press is far fro
pleased with the recall of SIR Pet
Lumsden and utterly disapproves ct
the peace negotiations. The London
press is for war ; the ministry is for
peace. 1t is entirely likely that the
ministry comes nearer expressing
the will of the masses of the people
of England than the newspapers.
The fact is, Great Britain IL not in
condition to engage in q protracted
and a costly war. A country that
must anticipate deficiencies in its
revenues, after resortilg to the most
extraordinary means of increasing
its receipts, is not ready to go to wal.
Even now. after making q special
loan to defray various extraor-
binary expenses, the Government
has been compelled to announce the
necessity If suspend;ng the custom
airy payments toward the reduction
of the debt snd the maintenance OF
the sinking fcnd: Great Britain,
vast as her Empire is, is not prepared
to maintain a wal and the conserve
tive people of the nation recognize
this. MI. Gladstone Is, too, q lover
of peace. He deprecates the useless
shedding of blood and treasure, and
only absolute public interests OF the
honor of the Empire could induce
him to consent to the ''letting loose
of the dogs of war" On the other
hand, Russia is in a very much worse
plight than England. Her credit is
none too good at best ana
her debt is annually increasing
and war would have been generally
deplored by Russian financiers. The
will to war was evident. The only
check was the flood Of wealth." for
which even Kings and Cars have
more consideration than they have
for "the fow of blood" There is no
doubt, also, that the sweet voice OF
the Czarina, which is said to be all
but potent with the Car, counseled
peace. All the interests of both ma
tions were for peace and there Is no
doubt that all hopes of war are over
and that we shall soon have the last
even of rumOrs of war.

AsTo DIRECTOR B%URCHARD.

There ia considerable discussion
nov in reference to the removal u
DR.. Burchard, the Director OF inc
minis. It is claimed that the tenure
of his Office will extend beyond tns'
of the President and that therefore
he cannot be removed On the otner
hand it is contended that he can oe
removed "at the will of the fresl-
dent" One thing is certain. ne eau
be removed for cause at any time ano
it is equally certain that the PIes'-
dent has the power to suspend MN
at will. The report that 1.-The silver
men will make q fight for MI. Bur-
chard" is most ridiculous. They
will do nothing of the sort. He has
been tho steadfast and determined
enemy of silver and the silver inter-
est could not fare any worse with any
appointment that the President or.
Mr.. Manning might make. The
MINER is thoroughly convinced that
the removal of Mr.. Burchard and
the total cleaning out of his stat
would be q real benefit to the
silver interest. A man who
Is recognized as the right hand sup
porter of Ex-Secretary Mccullough
ia not the man whom the silver inter-
est will fight to keep at the head Of
the bureau Of coinage. That the
New York and the Pennsylvania IN
fluenca may be powerful enough to
secure the s~uccessorshir may be true,
but it could not possibly give us a
man more inimical to the interests OF
the West. In his annual reports he
has steadily argued a suspension of
silver coinage. In his report for 1881
he used these words: "We cannot,
without serious embarrassment, con-
tinue such coinage" The experience
of the country IN the four years since.
four years of continued coinage. has
shown that Mr.. Burchard is either
an impracticab!e, who Yves prophe-
sying whereof he knew not, or that
he is in absolute league with the
gold-bugs and the determined enemies
of silver. Let Mr.. Cleveland direct
his mind in the direction of the Dr.
rector's Office and do some turning
out there.
Secretary Manning should give his
prompt and serious attention to the
minis of coinage of the country. A
committee of ex~perts-real experts,

appointed TO investigate these insti-
buttons.

THE TREATY.

Thr Democratic policy toward the
Central and South American Repub-
lies is one of no uncertain character.
It is q policy based upon q wise
craftsmanship and good common
sense. 1t is not an intermeddling
in the affairs of our sister Republics,
such as Blaine contemplated, that
the Democratic party has in view,
but an encouraging, a sustaining and
a building up OF their interests and
their free institutions. The party is
pledged to an American CONT
mental policy, based upon more in
innate commercial and political re-
latlons with the fifteen sister Repu b.
lies in North, Central and South
America" 1t does not, however, con-
template forming any entangl;ng al
llances with any of these Republics.
Such being the policy of the Admin
istration, the pending treaty with
Colombia, alluded to in our tele-
grams this morning, is one to be
commended in every respect. 1t is
one favorable to the United States,
yet insures peace and prosperity to
the Isthmus. 1t guarantees the un-
interrupted flow of commerce across
the continent and gives u Govern
eminent joint control with the
Government of Colombia in the
maintaining of traffic and in
preserving American interests on the
Isthmus. While these concessions
are made in our behalf, Colombia is
strengthened by the treaty. 1t places
the United States in the attitude of
holding up the hands OF four sister Re
public. This is the true policy of
this country. W. should encourag G
and sustain these Republics. Yet
the treaty as published does not indi-
cate that it carries with it any pro-
visions of an entangling character.
Our interests r greater on the
isthmus than anywhere else on the
continent outside of our own terri
tory. We must retain control of the
transcontinental railway and canals
and hence what may at first blush
appear like al absolute alliance, Of
fensive and defensive, is far from be-
ing 80. It is simply so much of an
alliance as the necessities of our corn.
merce demanded. Our commercial
interests are SO vast in Panama that
the control we now hold will have to
preserved at all hazards. The treaty
clearly guarantees this, and in Ian.
guage not to be misconstrued. The
treaty is one that will do credit to
the administration and be q welcome
relief to the commercial and ship
ping interests.
