THE FIREWORKS.

The fireworks at the monument at
night was an appropriate conclusion Of
the ceremonies. Fully $4,000 people wit
messed the display from all parts Of the
city, as the fireworks could be seen for
some distance. The grounds and streets
leading thereto were thronged with poo
pie and the roadway around tho monu-
ment was packed with carriages of all
descriptions. Many prominent persons
were in attendance ut tho grounds. 1t
was q good.natured crowd despite the
keenness of the atmosphere and almost
every piece was greeted with cheers OF
admiration. The President and num-
ber of invited guests. including several
cabinet officers, viewed the scene from
tho windows of the white house. The
south windows of the state and treasury
department buildings were also utilized
as points of observation by large NUN.
Dor of persons.
The display consisted of fifty sci
pieces. 1t opened with national salute
consisting of aerial maroons fired from
mortaIs and exploding with q loud re-
port at height of 800 feet, and closed
with representation of the Temple OF
Liberty, including an equestrian statue
of Gen. Washington, and figures repre-
senting Columbus and the Goddess
OF Liberty. There were several other set
pieces appropriate to the occasion, butthC
display consisted mainly Of bombs shells
rockets, balloons, fountains Of fire, bou'
quets, and lights Of all colors.
The scene was brilliant ono at times,
Telescope rockets were exploded at an
altitude of 800 feet and discharged
showers of smaller rockets over the apex
of the monument, making it appear as
though the shaft was robed with fire.
The outline OF the monument was clearly
defined against dark background, ana
so magnifed that it seemed to pierce the
sky. The display as whole was not so
good as some seen here, and too much
time was consumed in preparing the
pieces, and tho crowd were compelled to
stand for nearly two hours.

THE POWERS OF CONGRESS.

Under the decisions of the United
States Supreme Court there is probably
no doubt that Congress has the legal
power to deprive every citizen of a Terri
tory of the privilege of participating in
the government of local affairs. Legally,
Congress may abolish the present Terri
torial government, and govern us directly
by its own laws, or it may delegate the
power to one or any number of persons,
in the selection of whom we have no
choice. As distinguished from legal
right and legal power, every American
citizen has certain political privileges and
duties. These duties he ought to per-
form-the privileges both he and the gov
ernment should insist, should be pre-
served inviolate. Among these privileges
is that of local self-government in local
affairs. There being no legal mode of
enforcing the right to the exercise of
these privileges as against the will of
Congress, the question of what ought to
be done becomes political rather than a
legal question.
The duty of the government seems
clear-it is to protect every law abiding
citizen in the exercise of every political
privilege, which under our system of gov
ernment belongs to the citizen, and at the
same time to punish the infraction of any
law. To admit that government cannot
do this, is to that extent to admit it to be
failure as a government.
Neither the government itself, nor any
citizen who appreciates the duties of gov
ernment, and the privileges of the citi-
zen. can afford to concede that for the
purpose of Furnishing violation Of the law
in this Territory it is necessary or per-
missible to deprive the law abiding citi-
zen of any privilege which ought to be-
long TO him. For the citizen to concede
either the necessity or the policy of the
course indicated would, on his part, be
confession of the failure not Rnly OF the
government, but of the appreciation OF
the principles upon which our govern
ment is founded.
Should government do so 1T would
thereby confess its own inability, and

give rearon for claiming that it should
abdicate its authority on the ground that
it is incapable of performing the only
duties which are the basis OF its exis-
tence: The security of free people In
their legal rights and political privileges:
1t is the duty then of wise statesman
ship to see to it, that in the enforcement
of the law in Utah, no citizen shall be
deprived OF any right or privilege which
he would be entitled to were every man
and woman in the Territory beyond the
reach of accusation. Those who believe
that for the purpose of furnishing the
guilty, government may wrong the in
nocent, are not fit to give counsel to a
free people. There is no trouble in find
ing way for government to do what we
have suggested, nor can there be any
question that it should be done.
The duty of the citizen relating to this
matter is to see that the law is enforced !;
but at the same time to look to it, that
his own rights and privileges are not in
fringed upon. The strug lie both for law
and for freedom is continuous, and it de-
wolves upon every man and woman who
would be free, to give hand in the con-
test, remembering that law without free
dom is tyranny, and that freedom without
law is impossible.

THE Century for April is an interesting
number, and is equal to its predecessors in
most respects, save that the illustrations
to the war articles are not so good as
heretofore They look somewhat like a
symphony in black and white, as Mr..
Whittier would term them, and the por-
trait of General Butler recalls Dick Dead
eve. A Florentine Mosaic, by Mr.. w. D..
Howells, is continued ,and the illustrations
to it recall Florence rather more vividly
than the former articles illustrations. As
it is word painting by Mr.. Howells, so it
NAV be said to be of the impressionist
rather than of the realistic school, and
seems more dream than reality. To
walk in Florence is to walk in beauty,
and the atmosphere in which she is
bathed seems of paradise more than of
earth. The daily life of that fair city is
an enchantment to those who come from
colder climes, and to sit in the gardens by
the Arno in early summer is only sur
passed by lounging among the flower
gardens at Seville.

CONCERNING the appointment for Com
missioner of Internal Revenue, the Ma
ton of March 10Th says:
Notwithstanding reports that have come
from Washington implying that the con-
test between Mr.. "Phil'' Thompson, of
Kentucky, and Mr.. Miller, of West Vir-
ginia, for the appointment OF Commits
sioner of Internal Revenue was a trial of
strength between Mr.. Carlisle and Mr..
Randall, or more broadly between the
friends and opponents of revenue reform,
we can perceive no reason why it should
bear any strange complexion, or rise to
the dignity Of national episode. Mr..
Phil Thompson made himself notorious
few years ago by numbering an unarmed
man in cold blood on a railroad train, for
alleged corruption of his wife through her
unfortunate propensity for drink He had
previously shot two other men in court
room. 1t was said, and we believe truly,
that in this affair he was defending
his father against personal as
sault. He was acquitted in both cases,
and afterward elected to Congress. The
view taken by President Cleveland OF his
fitness for bureau appointment would
naturally be different from that taken
by a Kentucky jury, or constituency
among whom the carrying of deadly
weapons in court-rooms or on railway
trains is considered consistent with high
civilization. It is altogether fitting that
Mr.. Thompson civic honors should be
left wholly to the determination of his
friends and neighbors, and it is not neces-
sary to import into President Cleveland's s
decision of the contest between him and
his competitor any deep-laid scheme to
decide weighty questions affecting the
public revenue or the next Speakership
contest. There are plenty of Democrats
to hold all the offices who have never
shot anybody on sight, and probably Ken
lucky can furnish her quota without en-
croaching upon the ranks of those who
have been tried at one time or another
for homicide.
