\. 2. LAND CASES.

Representative Paysen, Of Illinois
says the settlers out west are need
lessly alarmed on account of the
decision Of the Supreme Court, and
that technically the titles of railroad
land which have been sold by the rail
road companies to the settlers, but
have not yet been patented, still rest
in the United States. The decision
has been construed to mean that the
settlers who have SO purchased have
no valid title to their lands and may
be deprived Of them at any time.
This is not the case. The title that
the government holds to lands by
this decision is that the lands are to
be held to secure the cost Of the sur
vey and may be acquired at any time
by the settlers by paying for the sur
vey of their lands. The railroad com
panies will then have to make good
the cost to them. The Court sug-
gested that that the bill might be
passed by Congress, forfeiting the
lanus not patented within a time
stated after the passage of the act.
Paysen is going to introduce a bill in
the House which was offered by him
last year and passed, but failed in the
Senate through amendments. This
provides for the forfeiture of lands
upon which the cost of the survey has
not been paid within sixty days after
the holders have received notice.

AFFAIRS IN SALT A K

Says the Ats: Affairs in Salt
Lake have settled down to a square
race between religious and irreligious
Iewdness. The local Mormon courts
are after too gay Gentiles and the
federal courts are dishing out justice
to the too married Mormons. We
notice, however, the substantial diff
ference that when an adulterous
Gentle gets in jail his friends do not
give him a picnic and soothe his
slumbers with a brass band.
Maryland is to have a new county
made out Of pieces of Prince Georges,
Anne Arundel, Howard and Morn
gomery.
Diptheria is spreading in New
York, and it is frightfully malignant.

SIIREWD.
Revolution

Parnell's manifesto shows him TO be
shrewd almost beyond compare. lie has
succeeded in quieting all dissenting voices
in Ireland, and has made himself dictator.
His manifesto shows that he is using the
Conservatives as mere tools, although
they seem to have had new life Infused
into them on account OF the manifesto.
The manner in which Parnell speaks of
the past promises Of the Liberals is well
calculated to draw attention to their short
comings, and to draw votes from their
ranks. The prospects in England are all
in favor OF the Liberals, and it was to
damage those prospects that this mani
festo was issued. If the Liberals
and Conservatives can be made
to balance each other so tn at
on division neither party can
feel that measure has great SUCCESS,
then Parnell will have gained an inn
portant point, and, holding the balance OF
power SO largely as he will, will be almost
supreme in the House. Whichever party
may be returned to power, the probabili-
ties are that its majority will be nothing
like the majority that the Liberals had in
1880. Ii the Liberals are returned, no
doubt the Queen will ask Mr.. Gladstone
to form Cabinet, but between the Lib.
erals OF the Gladstone type and the Lib
erals OF the Chamberlain type there is a
great gulf, and if Mr.. Gladstone were to
pass away, it is doubtful ii there il any
man in the party who could lgidge this
great gulf,
AT present everything points to the
triumph OF Mr.. Panell in the next House
although he cannot expect to so lar sue
ceed as to obtain Home Rule on the
basis of a repeal of the Union lie is
shrewd, and the manner in which he
seems to have caught Lord Salisbury and
the Conservatives is amusing.

EXPLAIN, PLEASE.

The News OF Saturday night had very
nice reference to the DEMOCRAT because
the DEMOCRAT had exposed the sophistry
OF the .NeWs on the question OF plural
marriage. We trust the Ne,rs will not
claim to have originated the idea about
polygamy not being intended for general
practice, as the late Epistle OF MIR. Taylor
and Mr. Cannon gave authoritative ut
terance to this nsw doctrine in this Ian
guage:
. 1t should also be understood that the prac-
. tice is not generally admissible among the
Latter-day Saints. Ii is strictly guarded.
the intention being to allow only those who
are above reproach to enter into. the rela-
tonship. The practice of the doctrine is
not for extension beyond the church, and is
even limited within its pale.
The News, always following on the
heels OF divinity, like Ruth after Naomi.
made the following comment upon the
passage in the Epistle:
That mormon" plurality of wives is not
for general practice, that it is only designed
for specified individuals; that even all "Mor.
mons"-if there were women enough fol
piuTdi WIVES lDf All tut 1leu Ill tIle
would not be worthy of the privileges of the
system, and that it is not promulgated fol
outside acceptance and proselytism.
These passages are easily understood
hut how does it come that new doc
trine is now preached in regard to the
practice OF polygamy? The Mormon
people always claimed that it was right
guaranteed by the First Amendment tc
the Constitution, and it was on account
OF this bslief that the case OF Reynolds
went up to the Supreme Court. Ii the
practice OF polygamy is privilege, and
is even restricted within the pale OF the
Mormon Church, will the News please
explain why the case oi Reynolds was
carried up to the Supreme Court, ant
what the people here expected would b,
the result of that appeal?
Seeing that the practice of polygamy
according to the Epistle, is only permit
ted to those who are above reproach, tn,
conclusion is irresistibly forced upon on
mind that the present editorial staff o.
the Neps is not above reproach, else the
members thereof would either be in Eng
land or the Penitentiary.

A1FALEs YOUNG, EDIToR:
COMPENSATION FOR OFFICIALS.

1t seems the First Auditor OF the Treas
ury has disallowed two months pay to
the Governor of Alaska on the ground
that his pay did not commence until he
entered upon the actual perform ance OF
his duties. Whether such is the case we
do not know, but it would seem that the
moment he received his commission and
started for his field oi labor is the time
at which he entered upon his duties. He
certainly was allowed his fare, but
that he travelled part OF the way
on passes. There is nothing that so dis
graces the Government as the fact that
all the Federal officials in the Territories
travel on railroad passes 1t is often said
by those officials who travel on passes
that the compensation allowed by the
Government is scarcely sufficient to JUS
tify them in taking the office, and this is
offered as an cxtenuating circumstance
in favor OF officials accepting "courtesies"
from the railroads. Ii the salaries OF
their office are so small that they scarcely
feel justified in accepting their
offices, let them decline the offices,
and they may rest assured that
the Government will not coerce them.
If the Government officers in this and
other Territories travel upon Government
business, Government pays their ex-
penses. On what theory, then, should
these officers travel on passes? The Fed
eral officials of Utah arc no worse about
soliciting passes than the Territorial
officials are; but the Federal officials,
such as the Governor, Secretary, Supreme
Court Judges and Marshal have annual
passes, while the lesser FEDERAL official.
and Territorial officials of certain grade
get trip passes upon solicitation. 1t is {
noble sight to see the Government
officials paying homage to the railroads
for annual passes The thing ough
to he stopped, and ii the officials
have not sufficient respect to refuse
ANNALS, the Government ought to forbic
them to accept them. The Legislature
ought TO pass law making it penal fo
railroads to give passes to either Fedora
orTerritorial officials, and should impos,
heavy penalty upon any Territorial
County or City officials for accepting one
All public officials ought to be ampl,
compensated for their services, but they
should not be allowed, under any pretex
whatever, to accept passes.

put up. There was any amount
OF fun in this, and it showed
how the spirit OF freedom was
bursting forth in someone's bosom.
A great rendezvous for young hood
lums is the Theatre steps. They con-
gregate like the swallows used to under
the caves OF the Theatre, and the profan-
ity one hears from these urchins would
make Satan blush to think of how his
education had been neglected in this di-
rcction. What kind Of people the parents
OF these boys are it is impossible to CON
ceive. The boys are on the streets until
ten and eleven O'Clock at night but the
cry of lost child is never heard. While
our city is not metropolis, still it is no
longer country villags, and the infli-
ences to which boys who are allowed
to live upon the streets are subjected are
of the very worst nature, and can only
make criminal men OF renegade boys. 1t
is all nonsense to say that boys who are
permitted to run at large upon the streets
will "come out all right" and that they
are receiving practical education which
will be of value to them when they reach
manhood. 1t will be a miracle if such
boys do not come out all wrong Ogden
seems to have been quite successful will
its curfew law, and it would be well il
Salt Lake City would follow Ogden's
example. Will our city fatheas interes
themselves in IL most wholesome ant
needed reform?

MAINE ON DEMOCRACY.

Sir Henry Sumner Maine, the dstin-
guished writer on Ancient Law and kin
dred subjects, has just issued, through
John Murray, four essays on Popular
Government He puts the following esti-
mate upon the worth OF American de-
mocracy:
The short history of the United States has
established one momentous negative conclu-
sion. When Democracy governs it is not
safe to leave unsettled any important ques-
ton concerning the exercise of public powers
| might give many instances of this, but the
most conclusive is the war of Secession,
which was entirely owing to the omission of
the fathers to provide beforehand for the
solution of certain constitutional problems,
lest they should stir the topic of negro
slavery. It would seem that by wise con-
stitution Democracy may be made nearly as
calm as water in great artificial reservoir
but If there is n weak point anywhere i'll the
structure the mighty force which it controls
will burst through il and spread destruction
far and near.
The estimate is not complimentary, and
what is OF far more importance, it is not
Just. There is almost sneer in the es-
innate. 1t is often said that the friends
of an institution or theory are incapable
of properly weighing its worth, or OF see
ing its defects. The same may be said
OF those who have no sympathy with an
institution or II theory, or who may be
somewhat hostile to it. 1t would be unjust
tosay that Sir Henry has no sympathy with
popular government, for he has; but his
sympathy for popular government is only
| for popular government rs found in Eng
land. To the majority of Englishmen
the unwritten Constitution OF England is
Il thing for constant alteration. The
Constitution of England may be epita-
mized in the maxim OF the common law,
Parliament is supreme" and this means
that the House, in contradistinction to
the Crown and Lords, is supreme. The
English Constitution is worthy OF the
profoundest respect, and ii is to the
love of freedom which it has ever
engendered in the breasts OF Englishmen
that America owes her own institutions.
The spirit which actuated the Fathers OF
the Revolution was the same spirit which
actuated Pym and Hampden, Milton,
Sydney and Cromwell, and it was this
same spirit which actuated those who
suppressed secession and freed the negro.
1t is an honor to mankind and song
OF praise to democracy that the United
States stood the strain of the greatest civil
war the world has ever seen; but still
Sir Henry Maine sees no merit in writ
ten Constitution. Certainly there must
be some merit in the written Constitution
OF the United States to have stood the
test it has and still be the fundamental
law OF the land in which it had its birth
After all, the safeguards of freedom in all
countries and under all forms OF govern
ment must be in the hearts of the people
and their attachment to liberty, and SC
great is this in the hearts OF the Ameri
can people that they are well content tc
abide by the law OF the Fathers OF tht
Revolution.

HOODLUMlISM.
The Southern Utoaian OF Friday last has
this comment on hoodlumism in Beaver:

The Southern Utoaiaa of Friday last has
this comment on hoodlumism in Beaver:
For what purpose do the people pay city
taxesy Is 1t simply TO maintain the dignity
of being called oorporationp Are we TO re-
ceiye any benefits from the taxes paid? We
acknowledge that in certain things we have
received a fair showing for our taxes paid,
but in the matter of allaying rowdyism upon
the streets and protecting people in their
rights while upon the same, we are still pa
tiently waiting for results. Defiance of law
or city ordinance is nearly supreme here,
and Is sadly i'll need of radical cure. There
is money paid out of our city Golfers each
month for the abatement of the very things
that are rapidly increasing III our midst.
This describes affairs in our city as
well as in Beaver. In the immediate
vicinity of East Temple street this is not
so much the case, but in the outer parts
OF the city Salt Lake is very much like
Beaver. Gangs of boys infest the streets
at night, and while they do nothing par
ticularly vicious, still their mischief and
''fun" largely consist in annoying neigh
bors, and occasionally pulling a few pick
cts off the fences or breaking windows.
The greatest "fun" someone has had
lately is in pulling down and destroy
ing the street signs which the city

GOOD many OF the Massachusetts
Democrats are complaining of the appoint
ment of Mr.. Saltonstall as Collector Of
the Port of Boston, not on account OF any
objection to him, but because he seems
to have been championed by Secretary
Endicott. A Boston correspondent who
was against Mr.. Saltonstall says: "There
is no particular objection TO Saltonstall
as man or Democrat. He is clean
and capable, and will probably make as
good a Collector as any OF the rival candi'
dates would have made" The objection
is really more to the method than the
man; that is, the Massachusetts, party
leaders didn't have their way.

THE New York Sun thinks that the
Presidents Thanksgiving proclamation is
q very good specimen. 1t says that it is
pious and well written, but that he ought
to have left the business to the Govern
ors of the States. Yes; but how about
the Governors of the Territories7 Gov
ernor Murray has issued Thanksgiving
proclamation, and the same praise may
be given it that is given the Presidents
by the Sun. Now, ii the Governor would
only resign "true and honest" then the
Territory would have something foi
which to be really thankful and the peo'
pie would give thanks every day in the
