The Missouri Senators Criticised.
SHARP TALK OF OFFICE seekers FROM THAT
STATE.
There is considerable feeling among the Mis-
souri, democrats over the appointment of Sena-
tor Vests son and Senator Cockrells brother-in-
law to high and lucrative federal positions. The
criticisms upon the Missouri Senators by some
of their prominent constituents are rather
sharp and savage. Rev. Father Phelan, of st.
Louis, has been here for some days in the inter-
est Of his brother, Hon. NJ. H. Phelan, editor of
the Western Watchman, for consul general
at Halifax. He solicited the aid
of the Senators, and thought he had it,
until the appointment Of Mr. T.. y. Ewing, OF
Missouri, as consul-general at the city Of Mexi-
co was announced. Father Phelan recognized
the fact that two consuls-general were not likely
to be appointed from the same state ut this
time, and gave up the matter. He says he did
not know Ewing. who is o brother-in-law of Gen.
Cockrell, was an applicant, but thought he

do with it, because he preferred that a member
of his family should not receive an appoint
ment. Mr.. Ewing friends advised the Presi-
dent and Secretary OF state of Senator Cockrelrs
attitude, and urged that Ewing was an excel
lent man and his relationship to Cockrell ought
not to bar him from preferment. But Missouri
democrats who want places for themselves or
friends are not listening very patiently to any
excuse. Senator Vest il pretty rount1iy scored
for fixing his son SO handsomely instead OF
looking out for other democrats.

NEW MEXICO.

The newspapers having revived the
story that New Mexico is to be admitted
into the Union next winter, the Repub.
lican organs are bowling that bargain
has been made to give the Democrats
two Senators for statehood. AS asnat
ter of fact there is absolutely nothing in
the rumor, New Mexico being further
from admission into the Union than
she has been at any time since the war
Republicans would have been glad to
admit the Territory and tried TODD SO
on more than one occasion, but the
scandal of the proceeding was little
more than the party of eQtrages and
scandals could afford to shoulder. New
Mexico is in no way prepared to accept
the duties and responsibilities of state
hood. 1t is to all intents and purposes
4 foreign.country, and what is more, is
incapable of self-government. The
American element is weak, and
tunately the Americans are of that adj
yenturous, irresponsible class who
ought not be entrusted with
the duties and responsibilities of
carrying on a State government
for simple community undergoing the
slow process of Americanization. The
Democratic statesmen of the nation
understand the situation and realize
that to convert the Territory into a
State would be equivalent to turning it
over to wreckers and plunderers. Two
Democratic Senators could be no incen-
tive to an honest Democratic admins
tration tc consent to the admission of
New Mexico before it has shown its
ability to understand and maintain
State government. 1t is doubtful if New
Mexico will be admitted to the Union
during the present administration. and
It is quite certain 1t will not be admitted
oy the present Congress.

A REFoRMAToRY.

Charles Dudley Warner has been
making careful investigation, and as a
result of his observations asserts,that so
per cent. of the criminals discharged
from the reformatory at Elmira, New
York, become self-supporting, law abid-
ing citizens, never returning to the insti-
tuition. There is suggestion in this to
all the States and Territories Utah
among the number. The need of a re-
formatory has long been felt in this
Territory, and never more than at the
present time. We have, only convict
prisons, and the chief of these-the peni-
Tertiary -underits present control and
managementisiittle better than school
maintained by government for instruc-
ton in crime. Youthful offenders
and hardened criminals, murderers aud
innocent persons held as witnesses for
the prosecution, thieves and men guilty
OF mere constructive contempt of court,
are herded together in filthy pen,
forced to sleep in the same rooms, sub
lected to the same harsh rules, and
compelled to daily intimate association.
The officials know no difference between
the individual guilty of no real crime
and the one who as.ofended most OUT

to know whether or not there is any

An IDAHO BENEFIT.


THz HERALD is so much pleased and
surprised by the removal of Chief JUS
tiee Morgan, Of idaho, that it feels al
most like forgiving the President for
his cruel delay 4in turning the rascals
out of the Federal offices in the Terri
tories. For time after going on the
bench Morgan Fseemed disposed to be
fair and decent, showing some regard
for6ustice, and displaying respect for
Law. Bdtof latesyears the two objects
of life appear to have been to retain his
Office and to make money. In the latter
of these lie has succeeded amazingly,
though some of his methods have
called forth severe criticism. Like
the average Federal official, ne
was hungry pauper when
he entered the Office, and also like other
papsnckers, though getting but a
small salary, he hiss managed his affairs
SO well that he is to-day one OF the
wealthy men OF our sister Territory,
owniaga bank, being interest in various
stock companies and having much
property in different parts of his dis
trict. We would net like to charge him
with dishonesty. but will say that the
office of Chief Justice has been a good
school to him in the science OF finance,
teaching him more about the art OF
money getting than he had previously
learned.
But Morgan's offensive partisanship
and undenied prejudice on the bench
were the rocks upon which he
split. At one time he pro-
fessed the warmest friendship and
consideration for the Mormon peo-
pie of his district, and they felt that
their rights as citizens would be care
fully guarded by him; but all at once
the Chief Justice discovered that to be
fair to MoroonS meant the,ioss. of Cen
tile friendship and political support,
when it occurred to him that it would
be wise in a personal sense to become a
prominent member of the anti Mormon |
ring. 1t has been told, though we could
mot and do not credit it, that when the
.odorous clique, last fall, setout to de-.
prive the Mormons of all political rights,
Morgan was warned by influential mem
bers of the combination that his reten-
ton in Office depended upon his
standing in" with the crowd in the
raid. Morgan stood in. and has done all
that the bitterest and most depraved
Mormon, hater could ask him to do.
But the old man has gone-been
Sicked.out and for cause. and now he
will be despised by the men whose
willing tool he has been, and whose
bidding be has SO cheerfully done. Moth
ing is known. here of his successor,
Benjamin B. Hayes, of Wisconsin. He
sails undeF, a name that does not excite |
much respect among Democrats, but
let US hope that in this case there is
nothing in name. The fact that he is
a personal friend of that able and
staunch Democrat, Postmaster-G General
Villas, is enough of recommendations.
and guarantee that he Is good and
true man.
There are other changes that the
President can make in the Federal force
of Idaho, with benefit to the people of
the Territory and without injuring the
reputation of the government service.
The two who should quickly follow
Morgan into disgraceful retirement are
the odious and odorous Governor Bum.
and the thrifty dude. Marshal Dubois.
