NEW YORK, October 9.--The steamer An
choria has not ye. been heard from and the
number of calls at the Office is daily in
creasing. Tho officers still hold to their
original theory that the steamer has broken
her shaft, and that the cargo which she car
ried is not sufficient to keep her on her
course. She was in good condition before
she left Scotland, they say, or she would not
have been allowed 70 sail, as by the English
laws an Investigation has to be made OF
every ship before she leaves her deck on
every occasion.

she was OF the Anchor Line, but at the time

forced to the belief that the ship has been

DRAWING TO a CLOSE.

The gratifying intelligence is flashed
over the wires that the obstruction farce
now being played in the United States
Senate by the Republican majority, is
likely to be brought to final vote either
at the close of this or the early part of
next week, when the gentlemen who have
80 persistently sought to obtain and
attempted to coerce the President into
laying before them all the papers in the
now-renowned Duskin case, will doubt
less have the leisure to indulge in a
retrospect and reach full realization of
the fact that they have been making a
ridiculous exhibition of themselves alto
gether unworthy of Senators of the United
States.
Debate on the Edmunds resolutions in
this case has dragged its weary length
through several weeks, and the public
business which ought to have had the
attention of the Senate, has been shame
fullvneglected But the end is evidently
near at hand, and from all that can be
learned from dispatches and exchanges,
the Republican Senators are very sick of
the undertaking upon which they entered,
and will be only too glad to drop the
matter at the earliest possible moment.
Yesterday Messrs. Voorhees, of Indiana
and Evarts of New York took turns in
speaking to the resolutions, and few
more oratorical whacks will wind up the
business, to the great relief of everybody.

STILL A-WEEPING.

request for the resignation of Governor
Murray is characterized as ga grave

One extract is made from the New
York Mail and Express, in which it is
asserted that ''the virtual removal of
Governor Murray of Utah, in the midst
of his prolonged and fearless fight for the
supremacy of Federal law and for Chris

the double-dealing and bad faith OF this
peculiar Administration. 1t will, per-

THEY NEVER THOUGHT OF 1T,

Oh, no! Of course it wasn't the inten-
ton of the Republican friends of Governor
Murray, when they arranged for that
meeting at the Walker Opera House the
other evening, to attempt to make it ap-
pear that the Democrats of Utah, by
taking part in the proceedings, disap-
proved of the Presidents action in
requesting the resignation of Republican
Governor Murray. Oh, no! They didn't,
for that very purpose, beguile Ransford
Smith into accepting the Craftsmanship
of the meeting, either. And this part of
dispatch, telegraphed hence by the Re-
publican press agent of this city, doesn't
look bit like it, does it:
SALT LAKE, March PA large meeting
was held last night in the Walker Opera
House, presided over by Democratic mem
per OF the Chicago National Convention, to
lndorse the acts of Governor Murray.
Speeches were made eulogizing the retiring
of party.
Following this are the resolutions,
adopted irrespective of party" We
rather think that somebody must be in
error in limiting that Governor Murray's
friends tried to put up a Job for his reten-
ton In Office, and to that end sought to |
make use of Democratic prestige! They
do it.

KICKING AT CIVIL SERVICE
REFORM.

Congressman generally, without re
spect to party, are beginning to complain
that the Civil Service Board has gone
beyond all of the prerogatives granted tc
it by the passage OF the civil service law
The positions coming within the scope o.
civil service examinations are plainly
classified by the statute but it is charged
that the Board have gone bevond
the warrant OF law, and are ringing in
every position almost in the various de.
partments, and insist that all positions
must be filled in accordance with their
rules, the same as those especially classi-
fled by the law itself.
In an interview with a representative
of the Indianapolis Sentinel, Representa-
tive Holman Democrat), of Indiana,
expressed his sentiments on this subject
as follows:
The Civil Service Board is becoming ar
bitrary in its rulings. My Interpretation of
the law Is that it applies only to positions
which are clerical in their nature, and not
w pOoiolouo dT0 0AeCuGlV6 OF 1uQ1C1al,
When the bill was up in Congress this was
the opinion entertained by the best LAWYERS
OF the House upon the subject, irrespective
of party. Had it been supposed for a
moment that it would apply to all posi-
tlons it never would have become a law.
1t may just as well have said that no changes
should be made as to have the law enforced
according to the ideas of the Civil Service
Board, when no such intention was contem-
plated or thought of by the members who
voted for the bill. l am willing and anxious
that the law as properly construed
by Congress shall be carried out, but /
do object to new and unwarranted
construction to be placed on it other than
what was the part of it as understood and
formulated by the power enacting the law.
Unless some modification is made by the
Board, l doubt if the Committee on Appro.
priations will make any provision for its
continuance. The committee can do this,
and If it should be done, this year will be
the end of the Civil Service Commission.
And to this the Sentinel adds: The
opinions held by Judge Holman are those |

cans. 1t will be an easy matter for the
Committee to end the life

THE REASONS.

SALT LAKE, March %. 1886.
EDITOR DEMOCRAT: Will you please ex-
plain why you know that the Governor was
'deposed" for good and sufficient reasons, ~
as stated in to-night's DEMOCRAT, when in
that of the 24th you say you don't know the
| reasons A LIBERAL.
The fact that Governor Murray's resig-
nation has been requested or demanded
is the strongest kind of evidence that
good reasons exist why he should be re-
lieved from office-"good and sufficient
reasons to the President, whose inten-
tons with regard to numerous changes
likely to be made in Utah at no distant
day are known only to himself and his
constitutional advisers. What the spe-
cific grounds are upon which the Presi-
dent bases his action, we do not know,
and what is more, we do not care
We believe that, under Democratic Ad-
ministration, the Federal offices every
where should be filled by Democrats,
except in cases-and such cases are too
rare to be worth men tioning-where the
public service would suffer from such
change. Entertaining this view, and be-
lieving that the President will appoint a
first-class man as Governor-Colonel
Merritt, as Mr.. Baskin says, would
be a good man for the position
We can see good and sufficient reasons"
on political grounds although it is
not known that those are the grounds
upon which the President bases his
action-why the request should be made
for Murray's resignation. The duties of
that office can be discharged by Demo
cratic Governor equally as well as by a
Governor, and that is reason
enough, in all conscience, for anybody
who realizes that Democratic Admin |
lstratlon is now taking trick at the gov
ernmental wheel of the ship of state.
