BELLIGERENT GREECE.

Our dispatches of yesterday indicate
that little Greece is very restless under
the restraint imposed upon her by the
Powers. If there is good foundation for
the rumor that it is intended to mobilize
| the National Guards, then that may be
taken as evidence that she has not yet
abandoned her intention of entering upon
war with the unspeakable Turk, whom
she loves with the same sort of affection
that the devil is popularly supposed to
entertain for holy water.
The belligerent Greeks, however, ale
held in check by England and other
Powers, who are interested in maintain
ing peace in that quarter just at this par
ticular time, since the outcome might
prove to be of a very unpleasant charac-
ter. Ii Greece should 60 to war with
Turkey, Servia would be bound to assist
Greece, and Prince Alexander and his
Bulgarian forces would be drawn into the
fight again. Austria would be called
upon to help Servia, and with Germany
and Russia supporting Greece, Johnny
Bull would have to look after the inter-
ests of the Sick Man, and there would be
a military circus in which all Europe
would have to participate.
1t is difficult to see how Greece can
look quietly on while Bulgaria is advanced
to supremacy in the Balkan peninsula,
and that she will not do it, unless the
Powers continue to restrain her, is almost
a certainty. But a war started now be-
tween Greece and Turkey would be |
fraught with danger to the peace of all
Europe, and knowing that, the Powers
may conclude to prevent the first shot
being fired, and thus avoid danger
which all are fearful of.

SENATOR LOGAN's ASPIRATIONS

The conviction is fast settling down on
the press of the East that Senator Logan
is hard at work arranging to secure the
Republican nomination for the Presi-
dency when the national convention
shall next assemble The Washington
correspondent of the New York Sun sends
to the journal he represents the following
interesting communication with regard to
Sable Johns aims and intents:
WASHINGTON, March 25.-When the ad-
vocates of Logan's proposed increase of the
army are requested to justify that policy.
they do not pretend that any public neces-
sity exists for adding five thousand men to
the present force. The country is at peace.
No complication threatens our intercourse
with foreign powers. The Indian troubles
on the frontier are reduced to minimum.
General Logan became highly excited on
Tuesday, when he supposed suggestion
had been made that the new force, if
granted, was to be used as a means of intimi-
dating the people. The Senator from
Illinois would cast away thousand army
bills rather than have the dear people be-
lieve he was anything else than their devoted
friend. He poses as their peculiar champion,
but he begins to see that he made mistake
in proposing an increase of the army, by
which threat is held in one hand and
bill for new taxes in the other.
1t is very evident that the Presidential bee
is buzzing in the Generals bonnet more furi-
ously than ever. He has carried war into
the Edmunds camp by the resolution to open
the doors of the Senate on nominations to
office; and he has indirectly attacked Blaine
IS the instigator of detection on his Army
Dill. Our Own Evarts may fall under his
;omahawk any day. He has already irrever-
'ntly described him as ''the little cuss who
wants to be President" John Sherman, too,
s not safe from Logan's wrath.
In fact, all the Republican aspirants for
he White House may well stand in dread of
IN explosion from the Senator in his present
tate of mind. Prudence is not one of his
peculiar virtues. He cannot be patient and |
vait for fortune to smile. He insists on
'eing the preferred candidate before the |
convention meets. His zeal to make a |
poon too quickly may spoil horn.

WOMAN SUFFRAGE.

The Woman Suffragists of the country
are mounted high Oh their hobby this
season, and war has been declared upon
all masculine bald heads who stand in
their way. To be sure, there is little OF
sense and reason to be gathered from
many of the letters and documents with
which they delight to flood the country,
and a case in point is the letter recently
sent by Mrs. Lozer to Senator Edmunds.
These ladies, in their efforts to make
themselves famous as the champions of
"down-trodden women," seem to lose
sight OF the fact that they represent only
themselves, or at best very insignificant
constituency, since the great masses of
American women are very well content
to allow the male members of the family
alone to keep the country on an even keel
by wise use of the ballot, and that is all
they ask.
In this connection We note that Judge
Taylor, of Ohio, a Republican member
VI eAAS iiVuoC O1 V, 10
which body the Edmunds bill was re-
ferred, has received and will embody in
a minority report to the House favoring
the sixteenth amendment, a letter from
Mrs. Mercy j. Grifiths, a Quakeress.
The letteris said to be remarkable one.
couched in the mildest words, but very
effective ~ protest against Senator Ed
munds' latest bill, which proposes to dis
franchise the gentler sex in Utah, Nor
mon and Gentle alike.
OF course, respectful hearing will be |
and ought to be given to these complaints
and protests of the ladies, but it seems to
us that they would be entitled to far
greater consideration if the demand for
suffrage came from the masses of the
instead of from few professional |
agaitators who measure the sentiment of
all the women in the land by the false
notions which they themselves have con-
ceiyed.

MARY ANDERSON.

Even as a revelation received from tn,
gods of genius who, but once in the spar
of life, deign to favor poor mortals with 6
glimpse of the possibilities which wal
upon those who live within the shadow
of their greatness, SO last evening upor
the senses of vast, eXpectant audience
burst the presence of this lovely and in
spired actress.
Truly, with becoming grace Miss An.
derson can wear upon her brow the chap.
let OF well-earned fame which proclaims
her the queen OF American actresses. In
Gilbert,s "Pygmalion and Galatea," per-
formed before a delighted audience at
the Salt Lake Theatre, surely such COM
bination Of loveliness and talent never
before essayed the production of that
charming NEUROLOGICAL comedy. As
the marble statue, presenting a
picture OF transcendant loveliness,
and then as the beautiful crea-
ture to whom the gods have given
life, innocent of all the ways of the world,
but created with a consuming passion of
love for the man whose master hand
gave graceful outline to her once marble
form, the spectacle was one never to be
forgotten and which cannot be fifty
described
1t has been said that no one can vividly
depict the emotions which are born of
the hearts affections without in some de-
gree having personally experienced the
hopes and fears, the longings and
anxieties, and all else that may
attend thereon. Yet, while Mary
Anderson does all this, gossip
says that she has never loved-that
the divine inspiration which, all un-
hidden, at some time in the lives of all
human kind, steals over the heart and in
the tender, subdued, vet unspeakablv
glorious tints Of maiden and manly love
and affection, draws such pictures as
angels delight to look upon-that Miss
Anderson never yet knew aught of this |
Yet, who can witness her characterize
lions and not grow skeptical. If it be
rue: then indeed are the lady's powers
'f stimulation wonderful beyond compare.
The good people of Salt Lake will have
another opportunity to see Americas
greatest actress at the Theatre this eve
hing. and they cannot afford to miss it.

PULL UP THE BLINDS.

1t begins to look as though the Senate
might shortly conclude to do away with
executive sessions, SO far as the consid-
Grafton of appointments is concerned
After all, why should not these matters
be discussed in open session? The popu-
lar impression, whether justified by the
facts or not, is that executive sessions of
the Senate are used merely as a cover
Tor trades and bargains, where bad nomi-
nations-and in spite of all precautions
such nominations will be made OCCASION
ally-can be confirmed without the pub
lie knowing upon whom rests the responsi-
bility therefor
The people are fast coming 10 the con-
clusion, which very many Senators seem
also to have reached, that it would be
better to tear away the curtain that is
supposed to veil the awful sanctity OF
executive sessions from the public gaze,
since there is nothing done that needs to
be or should be done in secret, and mis-
takes now made might and would be
avoided.
Speaking upon this point, the Wash
ington correspondent of the New York
World says: "Does any one sup.
pose that Stanley Matthews would
ever have reached the Supreme
Court Bench if he had been compelled to
come before the Senate in open session /?
He was rejected once and confirmed only
after desperate fight by the bare ma !
jority of one, in the face of positive ad-
verse report of the Judiciary Committee. !

MEXICO AND THE MORMONS

The following item, purporting to be
dispatch from Ell Paso, Texas, under dat
of the 18th inst, is going the rounds o
the press:
Senior Patricio Gomez del Campo, one OF
the wealthlest land owners of the State OF
Chihuahua, is at present in Ell Paso. He
recently sold a large tract of land in the
canton of Galena to the Mormons. s. and and
at present is engaged in arranging
extensive land sales with the same
people. There is no doubt that the Nor
mons are still having their eve upon
chihuahua, and perhaps Sonora. If the
present crusade of the United States Gov
ernment against Mormonism continues, it is
more than probable that the larger portion
| OF the Saints will find their way into some
of the outlaying States of Mexico. The
pending land sale will be consummated in a
few days, unless the character of the an
polntment which fills the vacancy in the
gubernatorial chair of Utah should change
the present aspect of affairs.
There is an impression here that the
polygamous element of Mormondom may
conclude to remove hence to Mexico,
and that impression is founded largely on
the fact that agents of the Church have
been down there viewing "the land
scape DER" The law-abiding portion of
the people here would be only too
glad to thus get rid of the
troublesome polygamists and the evils
attendant upon their unlawful practices,
and to that end they are willing that the
two per cent" should leave the country
for the country's good, since such it
would prove to be. But il, as this dis
patch indicates, the Saints imagine for
one moment that the President is going
to send to Utah a Governor and other
officers who will play into their hands so
as to render the emigration of polygamists
less necessary than it appears to be at
present. the sooner they disabuse their
minds OF such an idea the better will it.
be for them. No matter who the Presi-
lent may send as Governor to Utah. the
avs against polygamy and unlawful
'ohabitation will continue to be vigorously
and that is just as certain as
hat the sun will shine tomorrow.

would have become an open official re-

1t was "sugaring time" and all
the boys and girls who live in
maple-sugar regions know what
that means. A mild, lovely day in
April. The sap dropping fast from
the bright, tin spouts, the big sheet

cawing and squirrels darting about.
