ed? Not enough to- have kept account OF
the removals.
It will take long time to overthrow
the spoils system iof government, but 1t
will be overthrown just as certain as
there will be a government, and MIR.
Cleveland is making gallant fight to ac-
complish this overthrow, and every man
who cares for good and honest gov
ernment should support him. True
reform in appointments TO Office, and in
all other branches of Government, will
be far safer in the hands and under the
care of our Democratic President than in
the hands and under the care of our
Republican Senators. The Republican
Senators desire to obstruct the President
under the g,1ise OF friendship for civil
service reform.

A STRANGE STORY.

The journals of Rome publish strange
story about Judge Stallo, the new United
States Minister to Rome. The story goes
that an American dentist residing in
Rome-one Dr. Delamater, gave dinner
at which Judge Stallo was guest.
Among the other guests was the Cham
berlain of the Pope's household. The
story says that when Judge Stallo dis
covered the fact he abruptly left, and
explained to his host that the reason for
his sudden departure was that he had
orders to have no relations of any
sort with the Vatican. 1t is also said
that while Judge Stallo was in London,
on his way to Rome, he made many
friends and they are now recalling certain
anti Catholic remarks made in London,
and the anti-Papal speeches he made just
after he was appointed American Minis
ter to the Italian Court.
Such is this strange story. On its face
it bears the evidence of being false.
Judge Stallo is not Catholic or pro-
fessor of religion at all, but he is gentle
man of rare culture and education, and
to say of him that he acted
at dinner party as this story says he did,
is to say that he is not gentleman,
and that he has disgraced the Govern
ment he represents. 1t will take rare
casuist to make it appear that meeting a
person at a dinner party is holding rela-
tions with the government or establish
ment by which such person is employed.
Judge Stallo was nominated to the Italian
Court after the withdrawal of the name
of Mr.. Kelley to be Minister to Rome.
1t was signifed to the Government at
Washington by the Italian Court that the
presence of Mr.. Kelley at Rome as Min
lister of the United States would not be
agreeable to the Italian Government.
The reason for this was Mr.. Keiley's pro-
papai speeches. Certain it is that Judge
Stallo would not attempt to ingratiate
himself with the Italian Government by
making anti-papal speeches and remarks.
The whole story sounds like an idle
rumor started to annoy Judge Stallo, and
is entitled to no credence whatever.
Judge Stallo is the author of "The Con-
cepts and Theories of Modern Physics" in
the International Scientific Series.

APPOINTMENTS TO OFFICE.

The action of the Republican Senators
in asking for information concerning the
removal or suspension of various public
officials, especially postmasters, brings
the whole system of appointing to Office
into prominence. The system of appoint
ing officers, which obtains in this country,
is bad The abuse that has been made
of the appointing power under former
Administrations it the strongest evidence
that tits bad. The spoils system origin
ated with Andrew Jackson, but it came to
maturity and attained its greatest de-
velopment under the management of
the Republican party. President Cleve-
land is trying to introduce a new and
better system, one founded upon honesty,
capacity and fitness, and because he is
doing so, great many are grumhling at
him, and the Republican Senators are
now trying to play the role of Cato.
Their attempt will be but sorry imita-
ton of the old Roman If Mr.. Blaine
had been elected in place of Mr.. Cleve-
land, it is safe to say there would have
been twice or thrice as many removals
of public officers to make way
for the Blaine workers as there have
been, and the Republican Senators
would have confirmed his nominations
without murmur or question. Only few
days ago, Vermont's idol, Senator Ed
munds, spoke of the efforts Of the
President to introduce reform in the
most sneering manner. He spoke
of the Administration in a way that
plainly showed that he had contempt
for its endeayors to inaugurate reform
The way out of all the difficulty in re-
gard to appointments to office is to
abolish the tenure of office act and let in
cumbents of Office remain in Office dur
ing good behavior. In the great major
ity of offices the holders thereof should
be inducted through competitive exam
ination. Such examination cannot be
very thorough or searching at first, be-
cause the experiment is new in the
United States, but as time goes On,
and the people get accustomed to that
method of selecting candidates for APP
pointment, they will prefer it to any other
method, as it will give them better
officers, and when they are fully ac-
uuainted with the merits of the conlpeti-
tive examination, raise the standard of
such examinations. The pernicious-
ness of the spoils system is no
where better seen than in the
fact that the different leaders
of the same political party have their fol-
lowing, ana II suchfleaders are successful
in their ambitions, they expect to pro-
vide places for their followers in contra
distinction to their party. How many of
President Arthur's appointees would have

THE aFoUL MURDER"

The examination of Deputy Marshal
Collin before Commissioner Mckay is
now in progress. Mr.. Collin, against
whom it was charged by the press of the
Mormon church that he had attempted
to foully murder Joseph McMurrin, is on
hand and in attendance at the examina-
ton, but young McMurrin can nowhere
be found. This is strange condition OF
things, if Collin is guilty and McMurrin
is innocent. The excuse put forth by the
friends and sympathizers of McMurrin
is that he would have had no
fair show before the present Federal
officers in Utah. If it is not
safe to have an examination before
the present officials, when will it be safe ?
An innocent man does not fear the law
even when the officers of the law are
prejudiced and partisan. Young Nc
Murrin could very easily have waived
examination and let the Grand Jury in
vestigate his case. According to the
testimony of his family they know
nothing about his whereabouts. This
is little queer VIXEN he was still in
imminent danger on account of
his wounds. The manner in which
he treated his physician was disgrace
to him and placed his physician in most
awkward circumstances, making it ap-
pear that his physician was party to his
fight. We trust that the testimony of
DIR. Benedict yesterday may lead to tine
apprehension of McMurrin. Thus far the
great weight of the evidence goes to
show that McMurrin and not Collin
is the guilty party, while McMurrin' s
conduct goes to confirm all suspicious
against him. Yet this is the man that
the press of the Mormon church lauded
almost to the skies, while of Collin they
spoke as though he were spirit from the
internal regions What is the impression
that such writing has created throughout
the Terrftory2 1t is that McMurrin is
still most Exemplary man and that
Collin intended to become a muir
durer, but was only prevented by the
interposition of Divine Providence,
and that McMurin is in hiding,
not because he, has any guilt attaching to
him, but because the Federal officials of
Utah are .thirsting for his blood. Why
don'tthe same venal press that said that
Collin had committed foul murder pro-
duce, or tell of the whereabouts of, the
man upon whom the attempt to commit
murder was made? Perhaps they may
say that he cannot get justice; but it may
be that. like the Irishman, it is justice
that he is afraid of.

POOR ECONOMY.

Economy is desirable thing in the
conduct of public business as well as the
conduct of private business. Economy
in everything is good, but economy when
carried to too great length degenerates
into penuriousness, and at such times is
apt to be the most expensive way of do
ing business. To practice economy re-
quires good judgment, and good judgment
would often say that liberal expendi-
ture of money is the best economy.
These thoughts were suggested by the
bad economy of the Government in the
enforcement of the law in Utah. To ad-
equately and efectually enforce the Ed
munds law in Utah is big undertaking,
on account of the very extensive viola
ton of that law in Utah and the vast
amount of sympathy extended to those
violators by their fellow religionists So
general and widespread has the violation
of the Edmunds law become in this Terri
tory, that it has assumed such proportions
that they justify terming this violation of
the law, and the best way to stop such
violations, a problem. The Government
addresses itself to the solution of this
problem in a most lackadaisical way and
fails to provide a system of courts and
officers at all commensurate with the
task to be accomplished. Utah, with an
hundred fold more criminal cases than
any other Territory, is provided with the
same means for enforcing the law that
the other Territories are. Every year
the local question in Utah is made
greater and more complicated, and every
year the Government provides no addi
tional means by which the laws can
be vindicated. The courts and the Off
GERS of the Government do all they can
to enforce the law, but their efforts are
puny as compared with the task they un-
dertake. To use homely illustration,
the officers here are in much the same
predicament as the old woman who at
tempted to sop up the sea with her mop.
If the Government wishes the sea of law
lessness in Utah to continue, then it is
using the wisest economy possible. Ii,
on the contrary, the Government wishes
the oil of the law to quiet the waves OF
lawlessness, that the ship of State may
sail triumphant, then the present econ
omy in the enforcement of the law in
Utah is of the poorest kind, and will
eventually cost the Government more
money than any other method.
We understand from most reliable
source that all the money that the Gov
ernment has devoted to the purpose OF
enforcing the Edmunds law in Utah,
aside from the regular salaries of the Off
GERS, is six hundred dollars, and this was
given to defray the expense of some de-
tectiye work If this is not "chill PEN
ury" in hot fight, pray what is? Within
four years the Government has given six
hundred dollars toward the solution of
one of the most important social prob
lens with which it has ever been con-
fronted, or which mas ever presented it
self to any Government in any age.
Some cynic, of monarchical predictions,
has said that ingratitude is the vice of
republics. 1t is false, and the American
Salt Lake evening Democrat. [volume] (Salt Lake City, Utah) 1885-1887, 1886-01-23

people can point to this six hundred dol
lars as refutation to such a charge.
When we think of the magnitude OF
this six hundred dollars, the conviction
is forced upon us that the Government
should erect monument to the memory
of its own magnanimity. The longer one
contemplates this appropriation the more
does its size seem that of a Cheops
pyramid. On the supposition that there
are twelve thousand polygamists in Utah,
the Government, according to the idea
embodied in the amount of this appro-
priation OF six hundred dollars, expects
to secure convictions at five cents per
capita. Surely justice is not expensive
in the United States.
1t may appear extreme to figure it out
that the Government expects to convict
violators of the law at SO small price,
but such figuring shows better than any
thing else how absurd such an appropria-
ton is. 1t is poor economy and but
makes the prosecutions of the laws vio-
lators more of an aggravation than any
thing else. 1t does more. 1t justifes the
boast of the violators of the law that the
Government cannot suppress polygamy.
For the Government to undertake to set
tie this Utah question without furnishing
the means wherewith to do it, is for it to
bring reproach upon itself and place the
officers of the law in Utah in most en-
barrassing circumstances. The Govern
ment should establish nisi prius courts in
sufficient numbers to successfully cope
with the question it has undertaken to
settle; and such courts mean sufficient
| number of officers to enforce and execute
the law. If the Lord is on the side ol
the Government in this business, it must
be an abomination in His sight to see
how the Government goes at the bust
ness.

THEY MUST DEMAND IT

There was an effort made in II.
State of Mississippi to divert the
fund arising from the land scrin an ny
%propriated by Congress An 1862 f.,
the establishment Of hgricultur.1
colleges, to some other purpose, and
it would have been~do1e if the farm
ers Of the State had1het demanded
that it be appropriated to be object
for which it was intended. Thev Do
manded, and insisted upon the do,
mand being heard, and it was heard
and obeyed, and/the result is one Of
the most successful agricultural col.
leges in the United States, an inst;
tuition which is not only educatinc
$50 sons of farmers at a cost within
the reach of all, but one that is do,
ing inestimable benefit to the State
in numerous ways. Had the farmers
of that State been silent, and bv
their silence seem to acquiesce. that
fund would have been diverted as if
has been in North Carolina and in
other States. They spoke, and spoke
in unmistakable tones, thus prevent
ing a wrong and saving for their
own benefit money intended for
them.
Had the farmers ofNorth Carolina
acted in like manner, had they spo-
ken instead of remaining silent,
North Carolina's portion of the land
scrip fund would not have have been
swallowed by the University. The
$500 used for eleven years and still
used by the University, under the
pretense that it is being used for an
agricultural college, would have been
set aside for their benefit as it should
be and as it will be when the farm
ers of the State demand in unmis-
taxable language that it shall be.
While they remain silent, and appa-
rently Indifferent this money will
continue to be used for the benefit of
the University, and they need ex-
pect no benefit from it. 1t rests with
the farmers whether they will have
it or not. They a have it if they
do as the Mississippi farmers did,
demand it because it is theirs, and in
sist upon it's being reserved for them
and applied as intended by the Con-
gress that donatedi it and by the State
Legislature when it accepted the do
nation.

NORTH

The extreme length of North Car
Dina from east to west is 5034 miles;
its average breadth 100, its extreme
breadth 1877 miles. It embraces
1926 square miles, 1866 land and
1920 water.
1t is divided into three sections:
the eastern fiat, the middle rolling
and billy, and the western moun
famous, some of the mountains on
the west reaching an altitude of
1000 feet. The State is traversed
by two ranges Of mountains, the
Blue Ridge and the Smoky noun
tains, a part of the Appalachian
chain both running in a northeast
and southwest direction. Shooting
out from these are other lofty moun
tains. The rivers which rise in the
mountains r numerous, some run
n ng westward, cutting through the
Smoky mountains and pouring their
waters into the Gulf of Mexico, the
others running eastward and empty
ing into the Atlantic Ocean. Some
Of the chasms in the mountains
through which these streams dash
r from three thousand to four
thousand feet deep. A number OF
other rivers rise in the middle part
OF the State. The Roanoke and Cape
Fear are the only rivers which reach
the e within the borders of the
State, others emptying into the
sounds, some of them becoming be-
fore they do SO magnificent streams,
from three to five miles wide, and
n%avigable from fifty to a hundred
and fifty miles.
On the east she is warmed by the
warm breezes from the gulf stream
and on the west protected from the
sweeping cold winds by the noun
tain ranges that bend around her
and turn the winds in other direc-
tions.
