Vacancies in Fourth Glass Postoffices.

WASHINGTON, July 1.-The vacancies in the
fourth class postofices number not less than
$500, and some estimates make the number
much greater Nearly all of the vacancies have
been caused by designations or removals because
of misconduct on the part of postmasters. In
many cases postmasters have written to the
department, asking why no attention had been
paid to their request to be relieved from the
duties of their Offices in March last. The expla-
nation is to be found in the great number of
cases that are constantly pressed upon the
attention of the First Assistant Postmaster

yirtuous too. The 'omnipotence of
Parliament is phrase never heard in Amer
ica. The tremendous quality of omnipo-
tence has been appropriated by the Supreme
Court, and by force of this extravagant
claim of right scrutinizes Acts of Congress,
coastrues them, amends them, and repeals
them. The Toryism of the American
Supreme Court would comfort the soul OF
Lord Eldon. The House of Represent

Government conceded to the democracy by
the Constitution.

A PLEA FOR REPUBLICANS.

A great danger is hanging over this
Territory-the danger that some OF the
Republicans may have to go. Perhaps
no greater calamity could befall the Ter
ritory than this, not even were the sun to
cease to shed its light. For whose light
is like that of Republican ofice-holder?
The organ OF the Republicans is greatly
concerned as to what "real Democrats"
should do. 1t says that 'for the first time
in years there is perfect harmony here
among the officers. The Governoe, Court,
District Attorney and Marshal are all in
accord, and the result is such that the
friends of good government are encourag-
ed as they never have been before. Real
Democrats are as much rejoiced over this
as Republicans, and were there to be
changes that would change all this they
would be terribly chagrined.
Now would it not be cruel hardship for
the "real Democrats" to ask the President

"TRIBUNE" CONSISTENCY.

STOCKTON, August 14th, 1885.
EDITOR DEMOCRAT: If it will not be
taking up too much of your space, 1
should be pleased to set the Tribune right
in several respects in its editorial COM
ments on your correspondent from Stock

"piteous appeal to the public to support
the DEMOCRAT If an honest expression
of approval of the fair and unprejudiced
course of the DEMOCRAT can be inter-
preted as being "piteous appeal" J." then
the Tribune is correct. 1t further says
''The man writes like lunatic, it is not
necessary to contradict him." and then
in the sublime and unbounded wisdom of
the "paper that has not an equal within
thousand miles in any direction it de-
votes a half column of its invaluable
space to contradict what is not necessary.
The paper without peer never allows
an opportunity to pass, and if the oppor-
tunity is wanting, it imagines one, to tell
long-sufering public how great and
powerful it is, and that if it has not been
the only cause, it has been the great
cause of effecting what little gain there
has been made in Utah. | am not one

who does admire consistency. have no
fault to find with the Tribune in its de-
nunciation of priestly intolerance, but [

out in charging the paper without a
peer" with intolerance and with the use
of language unbecoming journal OF its
towering abilities towards all who dare to
use the liberty OF respectfully differing
with its greatness as to it's methods.
1t has shown a disposition if it had the
power to be as dictatorial and despotic

proved themselves to be- 1t is no doubt
governed by the old saw, that it takes

a despotism to successfully combat a
despotism; but it should acknowledge to
"lunatics" and others who do not posses
the colossal brain power of the editor of
"the paper without peer" the inalienable
right of an American citizen to differ in
opinion. 1t inquiries of your correspon-
dent how long has he been in .ull accord

vindication Of all laws. Some time before

to retain all these when the first official
named has endeavored SO long and SO
often to resign? There is limit to the
rights that government has over It's
citizens. and when they have long and
faithfully served their country, they

that it state something to this effect:

The prom ptness Of Mayor Rhoads in
appointing his police force, has caused
much complaint on the part OF num-
Der Of persons who expected favor at
his hands. In fact, they all allege that
he has manifested undue haste In the
matter. Many recommendations that
were secured, were left on the hands Of
the applicants, Of no moro vslue than
waste paper. That such persons are
disappointed Is very natural, and
they use words Of . very expressive
character to convey an ado
quate idea Of their feelings. In some

the II. a. o. RAILROAD

Our Philadelphia neighbors are
greatly exercised over the question of
granting the right of way to the Balti-
more and Ohio Railroad to enter the
city and connect its lines with the
Philadelphia and Reading Railroad.
The Pennsylvania Railroad, which,
virtually has possession of Philadel-
phia, bitterly opposes the entrance of
80 formidable rival.
The case has been argued with great
eloquence and force before the City
Council by John X. CoweR, Solicitor
for the Baltimore and Ohio, and by
Mayor McVeagh, on behalf of the
Pennsylvania Company. The general
feeling of the people of Philadelphia
appears to be favorable to the Balti
more and Ohio Rad. A competing
road to Baltimore and the South is re
garded as eminently desirable. No OPP
position should be manifested to rail
road entering city where a proper oh
servance of law is maintained to preserv
the safesy OF life and property. We ar
glad that the people Of Philadelphi
are taking such liberal view of tn
subject, and that the prospects are s
favorable for the new road having onl
the same privileges offered to othe
