friend, Miss Churchill. What do you
say to thate'
1t happened at this moment that the
Colonel's twinkling eyes looked full into
the eyes of Tregarthen, who was bend
ing forward little at the bottom
of the table and watching his command
ing officer with an expression of sat-
urnine disdain. The black proved Cor
net half rose in his place.
Il beg your pardon, sir,' he said,
slowly and distinctly. "You seemed to
address your question to me. If you
press me for an answer | must give you
one"
1t was generally felt that the hour
had come, and the assembled gentle
men braced themselves to support
authority. If the Colonel had under
stood the situation he would probably
have snubbed the querist, by leaving
him unseen and unanswered. But,
being taken by surprise, he raped out:
We'll, sir?" and stared at the intruder,
with look, half surprise, half anger.
Il am to answer your question, STRIP
said Tregarthen. II think, then, sir,
that no gentleman could have told such
a story, and that no assemblage of gen
tiemen could hear it without marking
their sense of its cowardice, its brutal
| ity. and its general olfensiveness."
The Colonel bounced to his feet and
sent dozen wine-glasses flying. Major,
Adjutant, Captains, LieutGnants and
Comets all leaped up wildly. Tregar-
then resumed his seat and was calm
amid this tempest of his own raising.
'Retire to your quarters, sir!n
storned the Colonel. Consider YOUR
self under arrest. sir!' He stood puff
ing and snorting for moment while
the offender arose, saluted and left the
mess room. ."Resume your seats, gen.
tlemen," he said then, and all sat down,
in awkward silence
A general sense of relief was felt FIVE
minutes later, when, after muttered
word or two to his neighbors at right
and left, the Colonel arose and with
drew, followed by Major Eykin and
Captain Hareourt. Clamor ersued, and
nothing was talked of but the awful and
| unheard of incident of the evening
Tregarthen in the meantime walked
to his quarters and returned the salutes
offered him by barrack loungers and
sentries on the way. 1t was summer
time, and the twilight fingered softly.

MORMONS AND POLITICS.

The Cleveland (Ohio) Leader is re
sponsible for mass of drivel on the stu
alton in Utah, in which it is asserted thai
the Mormons ':expect a feeble admins
tration of the anti-Mormon laws on the
part OF the Democrat who will succeed
Governor Murray" and that Gin the next
campaign the Democrats will not all be
Mormons, but the Mormons will all be
Democrats"
A very large volume might be filled
with what the Leader doesn't know about
the situation in Utah. Whatever the
expectations of the Saints as to ga feeble
administration of the anti-Mormon laws, "
etc., because of the removal of Repub-
lican and the appointment of a Demo-
cratic Governor, the Leader ought to
know that there is absolutely nothing to
justify those expectations, and the jour
nal that insinuates to the contrary, as
the Leader does, wantonly insults both
the President and the officials now here
who are charged with the duty of enforc-
ing the laws.
As to the Mormons all becoming Demo-
Gratis in the next campaign, that is a pre-
diction which only serves to illustrate the
dense ignorance of the man who makes
it. The Mormons are not Democrats,
neither are they Republicans-they are
simply Mormons, the subjects of a
priestly despotism which has for its
object the establishment of a theo-
cratic form Of government to which no
rue American, Democrat or Republican,
could attach himself. Democrats every
where believe in the freedom of speech,
reedom of the press, and a complete
separation of church and state. The
Iormons believe in allowing their lead
RS to muzzle everything that squints at
uch individual freedom, and to man
hey believe in and uphold the union of
hurch and state, as exempliied right
ere in Utah. Until they experience
uch change of heart and sentiment as
7lll lead them to entirely repudiate the
octrines they now adhere to, they can
ever become either Democrats or Re-
'ublicans.
The Leader is Republican journal,
nth Know Nothing tendencies. 1t GER
ainly knows very little about the stu
ton in Utah, and only makes itself ri
iculous in talking about things it does
OF understand.

GOODWIN, BASKIN AND MURRAY.

In letter from Washington to hi
paper here, Judge Goodwin attribute
Governor Murray's removal to ian over
whelming pressure OF Mormons anC
Jacks,'' and says that "such men a
Holden and others have been half de
nouncing him and half damning hin
with faint praise" 1t is just possible
that Judge Goodwin knows no more
about the causes which led to Governor
Murray's removal than he does about who
is likely to become his (the Governors,
successor, and as to this he admits
than ''you in Utah know as much as we
do'' in Washington-and that is abso-
lutely nothing at all. Governor Murray
was removed for reasons which the
President has not seen fit to make public
but when he shall conclude to make
those reasons known, it may traRspire
that, after all, ''the Mormons and Jacks"
were powerless to influence his action in
the premises, and that Professor Holden
no more than any other Democrat
could be blamed who realized that
his party was now in power
and believed that Republican Office hold
ers ought to be removed to make room
for officials whose political views were in
accord with those of the responsible ad-
ministration. The reasons which Judge
Goodwin gives for the Governors remov-
al are no reasons at all-they are simply
guesses at reasons.
1t is also intimated in this letter that
Judge Baskin would have worked for
Murray's retention had he been in Wash
ington at an earlier dav-"Had Baskin
come month sooner it would have been
all right" We had an idea that Judge
Baskin was Democrat, and as such he
could never have stultifed himself by
urging the retention of a Republican
in an office which ought to be filled by
Democrat, since in so doing he would be
obliged to occupy the same ground that
the Tribune occupied in its senseless
rawlings over the Governors removal, and
virtually say to the world: The Demo-
cratic party cannot furnish man who |
will prove Murray's equal in the
discharge of the duties OF that office. |
That would be nice admission for Judge |
Baskin to make, wouldn't it? But we
do not believe he is that kind of Dem
ocrat, and until he personally states to
the contrary, the Democrats of Utah will
refuse to believe that he would, by word
or deed, strive to retain any Republican
in office to the exclusion of good and
true man drawn from the ranks of his
own party

THE CIRCUS IN THE SENATE

One of the most interesting studies
about the Senate Chamber at the present
time is said to be the lodging and twist
ing and turning in the play for advan-
tageous position by the rival candidates
for the Presidential nomination on the
Republican side. The Washington cor
respondent of the Cleveland Plain Dealer
furnishes the following well-drawn pen
picture OF the ruses and lodges resorted
to by the aspirants, to frustrate each
others little plans
Hale of Maine is watched as the puppet
of Blaine. Logan at times slashes him in
vindictive way that points back to that old
discontinue when Blaine forced the Illinois
warrior to the second place. Edmunds is
raspish always and has Hoar as his particu-
lar gnat to sting him. The Massachusetts
Senator is an inbred impolite man. With
all ms erudltion he can be as discourteous
ana offensive as the most ignorant boor.
Edmunds has never forgiven him for an
awkward allusion to his absenteeism from
the Senate when his daughters death was
grieving him. In this Presidential game
Hoar continually nags the Vermonter.
Logan gets frequent rebuffs for his AS
sumption of dictatorial powers relative
to anything and everything before the
Senate. If the Record is consulted
Logan will be found as speaker upon every
imaginable topic that has confronted the
Senate this session. He has exaggerated
Evarts' plan of keeping before the public.
The New Yorker planned to deliver a set
speech on each leading question. Logan
seems to have assumed that it was his
partys wish to make him its leader in the |
Senate, and hence even upon matters he /
knows least about he speaks from sense of !
duty. There are constant exhibitions by the |
senators of resentment toward his usurped |

"CHEAP LABOR. ="

1t has been the custom to speak o
"cheap labor" as great advantage to a
country. There cannot, to our thinking,
be greater mistake. Labor is 'scheap"
when the laborer receives little to re-
ward him for his toll, and what dimin-
lshes the comforts of the great majority
OF the people, certainly cannot be con-
slderd as benefit to any country.
The Chinaman furnishes the cheapest
kind of "cheap labor" in this country.
He lives on cheap food which a white
man cannot eat; and having no family
to support, lodges with others in hovel
unfit for animals, to say nothing OF hui
man beings. This mode of living enables
him to sell his labor at lower rate than
a white man possibly can, and therefore
the Chinaman can work while the
American citizen and his family must
starve. No wonder that the people of
the Pacific Coast have imbibed an undv-
ing hatred toward the race which fur
nishes such "cheap labor" since it is all
done at their expense, and simply be-
cause the one is a civilized being and
must live as such, while the other is
barbarian and content to exist as bar
barians do.
The question of ''cheap labor" as fur
nished by the Chinese to the exclusion
of American workingmen, is more a mat
ter OF civilization than of barter, trade,
or money-getting or commercial advan-
tage, and this is the light in which it
should be looked at. Apropos of this
view, we give the following extracts from
a sermon recently delivered by an emf
nent Pacific Coast divine:
The Chinaman has no care for American
schools or American policy. He imports his
goods, and his money is not used to advance
American institutions. The Ameri
can citizen who lives by his labor has child
rem whom he is trying to feed and clothe
his family according to the genius of Ameri-
can institutions. There is an irrecon-
,llable inequality in the picture some
where. | insist that the Ameri
,an laborer has the right to keep. his
nome sacred and his citizenship inviolate.
de has the right to trade with whom he
chooses. Trade is great system for the re-
lef of mankind. 1t is a system of mutual
,enetit. But trade that perpetuates this
jhlnese evil is unworthy of continuance.
The voice of humanity and Chris
IAN civilization demand that American la
orers should be protected, and America
nust not be SO short-sighted as to place her
elf second to any nation on earth.

THE MONSTER GERONIMO.

If the dispatches are to be believed
the Apache monster Geronimo has again
given General Crook the slip, and with g
part OF his band, probably returned tc
the hills and resumed the work of MUIR
dering every human being who NAV be
unfortunate enough to come within rifle
range of him and his fiendish confeder-
ates.
1t is most unfortunate that the gallows
should again be cheated OF its due by the
escape of this arch fiend and his MUIR
derous gang, and it really looks as though
great and ineXcusable blunder had
been perpetrated in allowing them to get
away after once becoming, by uncon-
dltlonal surrender, the prisoners of
the United States troops. The
crimes committed by these Chirica-
hua wretches will constitute page of
history so hideous that none can read it
without experiencing thrill upon thrill of
lndescribable horror, and being tempted,
almost, to rail both at Providence and
the authorities of the two Republics for
thus permitting the earth to be thus long
encountered and afflicted with the pres
ence of such inhuman monsters.
Reviewing the career of the half-breed
wretch who once again has befooled the
military forces sent out to operate against
him, the San Francisco Post SAYS that for
ten years past 'the name OF Geronimo
has been a synonym for every devilish
quality that has terrorized the Southwest |
ern border. He is half-breed, Spanish |
and Apache blood combining to make a
mixture that includes the vices of both |
sides. From Chihuahua, where he had |
been lurking in obscurity, he came in
1872 to surrender himself to Howard,
along with Cochise. Four years later he
took advantage of his American domicile
to inaugurate the series of murders and
worse crimes that has given his name its
sanguinary reputation. Hewas captured
and punished by being turned loose on
the San Carlos reservation. He rested
for five months, and then. re-

a year and half and cost the
lives of between 500 and 1000 persons.

There are three men whom the
narrow writers for some OF tie Cal

all achieved regulations as writers.
which have extended into portions
of the globe never even heard OF by
the enrious little fellows WHO serb

Francisco papers and shape the
public opinions Of the Coast.
California should be proud of the
fact tina. she has been able to send
these men out into the world Of
letters and attract the attention of
some millions Of reading, thinking
people.
Harry George wrote book that
has been published in some dozen
languages, and keeps on giving out
new editions. The San francisco
Bulletin has never forgiven him
for this rank offense. He wrote
Progress and Poverty and edited
the Post. Had he not written

the Bulletin he would have been a
different man.
Joaquin Miller went East, and
the originality of his poetry gave
him honors in New York aud Lon

acting in this outrageous way?

they began to lampoon him because

Bret Harte gave the world some
magical things in verse and prose,
and vas at once charged by some

owed their laundry bills, was quite
amusing.
