THE OLD WORLD.
4 FIGHT IMMINENT.

A London telegram Of the 18th says: A
large force Of Turkish troops has been Or
dered to advance in the direction Of Nissa.
A battle between the Servians and Turks is
imminent. Servia has protested against
the decision of the ambassadors on the
Roumelian question, and has commenced
operations against Bulgaria. A large force
OF Servian troops crossed the Bulgarian
frontier from Nissa at five o'clock yester-
day afternoon
The Servians crossed the Bulgarian from
tier near Charkoi. They are advancing
toward Sofia, and are now near the Drago-
man pass. King Milan is in command.
A panic prevails at Sofia. Four battalions
OF infantry have gone to defend the Drago-
man pass. They have with them only two
batteries Of small field guns. There is no
Bulgarian heavy artillery nearer to the
scene Of disturbance than that at Sistova
will bo captured by n coup de main. Aus

ever may be the issue Of the present trou-
BILE, it will be useless for him to expect sup

tire Republican State ticket, as follows:
Governor, Joseph B. Foraker; lieutenant
governor. Robert P. Kennedy; treasurer Of
state. John G. Brown; attorney general.
Jacob A. Kohler; supreme judge nong
term) T. A. Minshall; supreme judge
(short terrn) W. 7. Spear; Board Of Public
Works. Wells $. Jones.
The returns by counties give Foraker
53,2ol, plurality aud Hoadley 35l3.
Foraker 17,6ss plurality. The legis-
lature is also Republican, there being
a working majority on joint ballot,
though possibly the senate may be Demo-
cratic. This probably insures the re-elec-
ton Of John Sherman, to the Senate.
Leonard, the prohibition candidate for
Governor, polled about o0, 600 votes and his
candidacy hurt the Democrats more than
the Republicans. Republicans carried
Cuyahoga County (Cleveland) by 1000 ma

derstands thoroughly the responsibilities
which attach to journalism" In refuta-
ton of these charges we prefer to let DR..
Miller speak. The Omaha Herald Of
Tuesday contained the following editorial: !:
A journalistic missionary, located in Salt
Lake City for the better improvement OF
Mormon morals, was recently seized with
another attack OF. CDR. Miller" who is ac-
cused of seeking an appointment on the Utah
Commission. DIR. Miller authorizes correc-
ton of the dreadful mistake, and proposes
to do what he may to allay the apprehen-
sion of its terrified Utah contempary. DR..
Miller is authority for the statement that he
did not seek, has never dreamed of seeking,
and would not accept an appointment upon
that useless and costly fungus called the
Utah Commission, with its five thousand a
year and expenses, under any conceivable
conditions or possible circumstances.
The Salt Lake Tribune also says that DIR.
Miller is trying to have the editor of the
Salt Lake DEMOCRAT Mr., Young) made Gov
ernor of Utah. Thisis the most amusing of
inventions. 1t was carved in the head of the
confirmed lunatic who does this sort of mild
work for the Tribune, paper that is no
more capable of telling the truth about the
Mormon people than a rabid dog is capable
of discriminating whom he shall bite.
There is not shadow of truth in either of
the statements about the intentions or acts
of the editor of the Herald. He has, con-
sistently and openly, at all times and on all
occasions urged upon the representative
men of Utah the necessity and wisdom of
submission to the laws, that all controversy
and conflict about polygamy might end in
Utah. If it were not for the organized ran
cor, hate, and ingenious deviltry of the Salt
Lake Junta of Republican cotton mouths, he
has some ground for believing that results
would be more favorable than they have
been thus far. AS it is, he is not certain of
anything except that, in spite: of the ingen-
ious deviltry aforesaid which has done SO
much to prevent right results, polygamy
must cease in Utah by the ultimate sur
render of every man who chooses to disobey
those Federal laws which denounce polyg-
amy as wrong and its practice as a crime
against the State.

matter OF appointments is to call a Terri
torial convention and select the candi-
dates for appointments to the Federal Of
fees in Utah the same as though they
were to be voted for at the polls. Had
this been done, the Democratic party in
Utah could have had its own way in the
matter of appointments. No man who
is candidate for office should object to
having his qualifications thoroughly cam
vassed in convention before he asks an
Administration Or the people for their
favors. A convention has not been
called, and for this reason we have put
the name of Col Merritt forward as a
candidate for the Governorship that the
people may fully discuss his qualifica-
tions, being certain that the more they
are discussed the more convinced the
people and the party will become of the
fitness of Col. Merritt for Governor of
Utah Territory.

LET THE PEOPLE HEED IT.

The Omaha Herald continues to wage
war upon the Federal officials in Utah land
from an editorial which appeared in the
Herald on the 22d inst, we extract the
following as well worth the sober consid-
Grafton of the people of Utah:
This is the simple truth about Utah, as ev-
cry man knows who knows anything about
it, but it does not relieve the Mormon lead
ership from their primary duty of obedience
to the laws. They can never have either
peace or prosperity without yielding that
obedience, and we again warn them of the
disaster that will follow their refusal to obey
the. law. Polygamy can never survive
against the will of the nation and the laws
that have been enacted fer its suppression.
1t is worse than idle, it is sheer folly and
madness, the madness of suicide and the
folly of giving life and power to the Federal
gang In Utah, for such men as rule in the
Mormon church to contend against the inev-
liable. Polygamy must and will be sup
pressed. This can be done decently and in
order now, with every right of the people of
the Territory intact, if the headship of that
people will SO resolve. If by false reason
ing and false hopes they shall still persist in
opposing the will of the nation as embodied
In Its judicial laws, there is no wrong which
they will not be made to suffer, with nothing
gained in the end for the good of the men
who founded and own Utah.
This is entitled to the consideration of
the people of Utah, first, because DIR.
Miller has ever been their friend; and,
second, because what he here says about
polygamy-H Hpolygamy must and will be
suppressed d''-is true. That is the thing
upon which the nation is bent first and
foremost, and to accomplish this the
method which promises the greatest sue
cess will be adopted, although its adop-
ton may make many wrongs. The peo-
pie of Utah say it cannot be suppressed.
10 say SO is folly, and they have but to
read Mill on Liberty to be convinced of
their folly. That it cannot be suppressed
in day is true, and it is also true that
very considerable time will be necessary to
stop it; but they dream idle dreams and
build up false hope by saying that it can
not be done. Some millions of people
said that this nation could not suppress
slavery nor prevent certain States from
seeding from the Union. Time and four
years of bloody war told different tale.
The people of Utah at times think that
he Government is weak and vacillating
md dare not grapple with this Utah ques-
ion. They mistake leniency and dislike
o resort to radical measures as signs of
weakness and vacillation; that is all. If |
he people of Utah walked in those ways
II wisdom of which they talk SO much,
hey would avoid the evils OF which thev
low complain as persecution, but they
Wander on as the fool who heedeth not
he danger and is punished If such be
heir choice, then so be it, for they invite
heir own destruction.

WADE HAMPTON's SCHEME.

Wade Hampton has introduced reso-
luton into the Senate which has for its
object the relief of Senators and Congress
men from solicitations for appointment
to office. By some this scheme is looked
upon as huge joke by Hampton, but
that he is in earnest there can be but
little doubt He aims to make OF politics
something else than mere scramble for
office, and to make of Senators and Con-
gressmen something beside agents for
applicants for Office. His plan may not
succeed, but it shows which way the cur
rent of public thought is turning; and
while this plan may fail, it is an earnest
that something will be done. The Admin
istration of this Government on the theory
that ''to the victors belong the spoils"
has retarded the progress of the country
and has justly brought the reproach
upon the American system of govern
ment that it is but a scramble for office.
and that where statesmen should guide
demagogues now lead. In this very town
there have been men hunting for this
office and that Office, while if they put one
half as much force and energy into cearch
for some regular employment. the reten-
ton OF which is. dependent upon ability
and integrity, they would have been
sought for by the business men. The
search for office and the methods en-
ployed to obtain it are disgusting in the
extreme. This search and these methods
would cease to be if some such plan as that
by Senator Hampton were to
become law, and along with it there were
an extension of the theory of civil-service
reform and raising OF the standard for
admission to Government service. We
Ire glad that this new movement in the
interest of better government comes from
| Democratic Senator; and if the Demo
'ratic party does not support such meas
Tres then SO much the worse for the
,arty, for civil-service reform is a fixed /
hing in the United States, while anv
'arty that seeks to rule the country by
he old spoils theory deserves nothing
,ut to perish.

PROHIBITION A FAILURE.

The Bangor Commercial says that after
thirty years of trial the failure of pro.
hibition in Maine has been demonstrated
to the satisfaction of all sensible people.
Such an admission is worth much, for il
goes to show that too radical legislation de-
feats the very end for which it was enacted.
Prohibition in Maine has been more than
a mere failure; it has been cause of great
lawlessness, and the public in Maine
having become accustomed to lawlessness
in one direction will look upon lawless-
ness in another direction as not being
so great an evil as was thought, until
at last the law will be looked upon
as an infringement of the rights of
the people, and the officers of the
law as set of usurpers and ty-
rants. Once let seepage of lawlessness
continue without any check, and finally
the barriers of the law will be swept
away, and society and government will be
inundated and swept into the ocean of
anarchy. Society without government is
barharism, and measures which, from
their very severity are sure to be largely
evaded, are an invitation to barbarism.
Liquor drinking can never be absolutely
prohibited, and the attempt for thirty
years in Maine conclusively proves this,
but the evils resulting from it are among
the worst to which society is subjected
in fact the greater portion of the crimes
in any community can be
raced to whisky. Such being the case,
% confine its sale within proper bounds, |
and to so control it that the places where
t is vended can be kept under strict reg I
are most important mat
ers in every State and Territory.
How TO maintain these bounds and CON
rol this sale are the questions to be
solved. Prohibition is a failure, but
high license has proven the most effica-
ious in bringing about good results, of /
III methods yet adopted. Kansas and
owa are now proving what Maine has
'roven after thirty years. trial, that pro-
libition is failure. Let these States try
ugh license, and then the sale of whisky
vill be under control, and to enforce the
aw will be far easier than now.
