FOREIGN ALLIANCES.

American girls have for many years
furnished European satirists with sub
jects upon which to vent their spleen
against republican institutions, and it has
come to be common jest that while
an American girl loves her country, she
fairly adores a titled man beyond all
things. There is some truth in this, but
far more of cruel jest. Nowhere are
girls SO ingenious and honest as in Ame-
RIGA, and nowhere are women So univers
ally respected as in America Foreigners
look upon all American girls as great
heiresses, land as perfectly legitimate prey.
If Henry James gave us Daisey
Miller a perfectly natural girl
and one of whom Americans need not be
ashamed, he also gave us Gilbert Osmond
and Isabelle Archer Osmond was the
very type of fortune hunter, and al
though he was pleasant, affable and ac-
complished, beneath it all there was the
base motive-money.
The latest case of an unhappy alliance
by an American girl is that of Nellie
Grant who married Sartoris. At the
time the match was made it was consid-
cred brilliant, but like so many brilliant
weddings it had false lustre. The
story now comes that she is unhappy,
and that Satoris is man of exceedingly
coarse nature The details differ from
the like cases but the result is the
same. 1t is the same old story
OF money for position on the one
hand, and for money on the other.
No doubt the same story will yet be
heard about the Princess Colonna, nee
Mackay. Lady Randolph Churchill is
an American lady, and seems happy and
influential. There are other cases like
hers, but they are rather the exception
that the rule. American girls would do
well to remember that there are more
fortune hunters in Europe than in Anne
rica, and that they are far more un-
scrupulous too. The safe rule by which
to be guided in these cases is to remem-
Der that foreign alliances as rule are

EXPERIMENTING.

The cohabitation clause of the Ed
munds law is an experiment. 1t has
been tried, and the experiment has been
found wanting. Already a few of those
who have been found guilty of violating
that clause and sentenced therefor, have
served out their term of punishment and
are now being worshipped as martyrs.
Hero worship is defect of the human
mind, if Carlyle may be believed, al
though he looked upon it otherwise. The
crime of polygamy is punished by impris-
onment for five years and fine of eight
hundred dollars. This punishment is
imposed for the purpose of preventing
the formation of a relationship inconsist-
ent with the best interest of society and
and the State. Unlawful cohabitation is
but continuation of this relationship
after its formation. Ii the formation OF
this relationship is so harmful to society
as to justify its punishment by five years
Imprisonment and a fine of eight hun
dred dollars, why should not the con-
tinuation of the relationship be punished
to the same extent? The law Furnishes
for the purpose of protection, but if the
punishment imposed is insufficient to af-
ford the protection desired, then the pun
ishment should be increased until the
protection is had. That the present
punishment for unlawful cohabitation
does not afford that protection to the mono
gamic system of the family that is de-
sired, all know. If the moral sense of
person is not sufficient to cause such per-
son to obey the law as the only safe
guard for all, then such per-
son must be made to obey
the law through physical fear
The men who have preferred to suffer the
penalty imposed by the law for unlawful
cohabitation have done so because the
physical fear OF the law was not SO great
as the fear of derision and ostracism.
Continually hearing themselves spoken
of as martyrs they gradually imbibe the
idea that they are martyrs, and at last
become convinced that they are. Things
grow by that upon which they are fed.
The men who are confined for six months
for crime and permitted to associate to-
gether all the time, are not confined long
enough to cause them to consider for
one moment the reason for their
confinement and whether or not
such confinement, is just. Associated
confinement can never have the
same effect upon criminals as solitary
confinement, and where men stand more
in fear OF the sentiment of a community
than the enforcement of the law, short
term of imprisonment will always be
taken in preference to defying such senti-
ment. In such cases, neither the person
who breaks the laws nor the community
has any respect for the laws. The most
pressing need to-day in the solution of
the Utah problem is to make the punish
ment for unlawful cohabitation co-exten-
sive with that for polygamy; the abolish
ment of the statute of limitations with
regard to these crimes; the creation of a
jurisdiction of them by the |
courts, and a sufficient prosecuting force
to vindicate the laws. There may be |
other things, but these are among the
most indispensable.

DISSATISFACTION.

There was considerable dissatisfaction
expressed among the Democrats vester-
day on account of the appointment of
Richard S. Dement,, of Illinois, as Sur
veyor General of Utah. Dissatisfaction
was not expressed on account of Mr..
Dement, personally, because of him
nothing is known, but on account of the
appointment of one who is to be a resi-
dent in Utah after and not prior to his
appointment. Dissatisfaction was also
expressed because there were applica-
tons for the Office from here, and while
we do not know who all the applicants
were we know who one was, and
he is one worthy the confidence of
the Administration and eminentlv.
well fitted for the Office. The gentleman
to whom we refer is Captain E. B. Will
den. The Democratic party in Utah is
largely to blame for the appointment of
stranger in place of local man to the
Surveyor Generalship. Time and again
the DEMOCRAT has shown and urged the
necessity of united action on the part of
the party in the matter of applicants for
office; but nothing has ever been done to
remedy the chaotic condition of our poll
aics, and the consequence is that home
men, men whose every interest is in Utah.
are constantly Cleft 1t is a strange
thing that Eastern men are all so wonder
FULLY competent to control and manage
Western affairs. Their education seems
to have fitted them for any position from
Cabinet Office down to pair of old
leather breeches. Ii the Democratic party
In Utah has not interest and energy
enough to take some active measures
with regard to the filling of Federal offices
in this Territory, then there should be no
about foreign appointees.
The Democratic party is the best political |
party that America has ever seen, but
Democratic henchmen from the East to |
run Utah's affairs are no better than Re-
publican henchmen from the East to
run Utah affairs. If good men cannot be
found In Utah our most earnest desire is
that they shall be found out of Utah. but
we should like for Utah to have one trial.

revelation. That epistle enunciated the
doctrine OF the Mormon church upon the
right to practice polygamy clearly, forci-
bly, and authoritatively. 1t said:
sit should also be understood that the
practice is not generally admissible even
among the Latter-day Saints 1t is strictly
guarded, the intention being to allow only
those who are above reproach to enter into
the relationship. The practice of the doc
trine is not for extension beyond the church,
and is even limited within its pale"
Whenever the Constitution is invoked
as giving and guaranteeing the right to
practice polygamy, let this authoritative
definition of the right to such practice be
remembered and cited in refutation of
such invocation, for this definition says
that "the practice of polygamy is not for
extension beyond the church, and is
even limited within it's pale" Noconsti-
tutional right IS so limited.

THE CLOUD IN THE EAST.

Affairs in Servia and the Balkan pen
lnsula are not in quiet state at all. The
present indications are that the whole
East Will be lighted with the flames of
war. rumor comes that King Milan
is about to declare war, but whether or
not he will dare to remains to be seen.
For him to declare war is to do a most
serious thing, serious on account of the
consequences that would inevitably
follow. The smaller Eastern provinces
and principalities are mere puppets in
the hands of the great Powers, and when
some smaller government such as Ser
via or Bulgaria assumes to act in
accordance with its paper independence,
it is quietly informed, but very forcibly,
that it can only use its independence SO
long as such use shall not interfere with
the peace and harmony of Europe as
contemplated in the plan OF the great
Powers. The warning is usually needed.
Russia and Austria, France, England
and Germany are all interesting them
selves more or less in this Servian affair.
and they are interesting themselves more
rather than less. The Journal de st.
Petersburg gives the key to the whole
situation. 1t says: "In view of the pre-
tensions of the minor States, it is evident
that the conservative policy in accord
ance with the existing treaties offers
the best chance to prevent a vast conf,a-
grafton on the Balkan peninsula. :,
The Journal being the official organ of
the Russian Government, its utterances
upon the present condition of affairs are
to be needed. Doubtless Russia prefers
the conservative policy of existing trea-
ties because she sees no opening for the
furtherance of her favorite schemes upon
Constantinople. 1t is Europe and not
Turkey that stands in the way of Rus
sla's march upon Constantinople. So
serious has become the situation in Ser
via and the East that already France and |
England have entered into an under !
standing upon the question, and that un-
derstanding is to observe strict neutral |
ity for the present. A strict neutrality is |
generally period of preparation, and
sort of waiting for something to sstun
up" Bismarck is calmly looking
on, and seems in favor of the pro-
position to recognize the union
OF Roumelia and Bulgaria, and
to oppose any further modifica-
ton of the Treaty of Berlin. This
is substantially the attitude of Russia, as
indicated in the Journal de 81. Peters
burg. The agreement of Russia and

Germany upon defnate policy, that po-
Icy is liable to be the final policy of the
other Powers, for these two united could
easily dominate the East, for while Rus
sia would take to the field and push her
conquests, Germany would stand at
bay on the Rhine ready to repel any ad-
vance that France and England might
make. Italy will naturally be against
France, while Austria will be content to
remain where she is. The Eastern
question is beginning to dominate all

THE Ohio election is still the topic
everywhere. So far the result seems
doubtful, both parties claiming the Gov
ernor, and Senate and House. An Off
cial count alone can determine which
party will be triumphant. The Republi-
cans, of course, claim everything, but
they should remember that many are
claimed but few are chosen.
