CLEVELAND AND THE REPUB-
IICANS.

The following article, taken from the
New York Sun, we believe voices the
sentiments of Democrats everywhere
throughout the Union, and as such we
cannot forbear reproducing it in these
columns:
The Republicans in the one branch of the
Government of which they retain control
are fighting the Administration at every
point where there seems to be any hope OF
advantage They are sustained by the he
publican press and the opinion OF their
party.
The Administration, continually and bit
terly assaulted by its Republican opponents,
still continues to keep tens of thousands OF
Republicans in Office. 1t wins thereby no
concession and no forbearance from the
Republicans, who denounce as hypocritlcal
its efforts at civil service reform, triumph
antly point out its inevitable inconsistencies,
and show no lenity of opposition in return
for the lenity shown by it to Republican
ofice-holders, or for its conscientious If not
always consistent or well-directed purpose
in favor of civil service reform, although
for the moment it is the cue of the Repub-
hcan party to pretend an interest IN that
policy. =,
The bent of Republican resistance to the
Administration is in no wise mitigated by
the Presidents delay, reluctance or scruples
to make that Administration Democratic IN
all its members and through all its ranks.
The enthusiasm of Democrats, on the other
hand, is appreciably chilled by the. well,
intentioned but scarcely well-considered
tenderness of the President for Republican
placemen. Nothing is gained among Repub-
ficans and much may be lost among Demo,
Gratis by this course. Surely the firm and
undoubted wish of his party should prevail
even over the most specious and fine-sound-
ing theories. He has to meet a united oppo-
sition; he should take steps at once to unite
his friends against these united enemies.
The Republicans fight him at every point.
He should see to it that none of them whose
service is not absolutely Indispensable, shall
be left in office. The Republicans declare
war against him; he should answer, war for
war, and blow for blow. Where can he get
strength if not from his own party? How
can he expect consistent and unhesitating
support unless he satisfies the just demands
of his party?

THE REINSTATEMENT PROJECT.

A telegram came over the wires a few
days ago which stated that an earnest
effort would be made to have the Presi-
dent reconsider his demand for the
resignation of Governor Murray. The
authority upon which the state
ment was made was not given,
and outside of the personal friends of the
Governor, few can be found who give
any credence to the statement. There
are, however, few gentlemen in
this community who harbor the
idea that unless the President rein
states Governor Murray, the Territory
will receive a setback such as
will take it half century to recover from.
1t is needless to remark that the gentle
men who entertain this idea are not
Democrats.
1t occurs to us that move made in
this direction would be met with
decidedly chilly rebuff to
the parties who might thus pre-
sumo to abuse the Presidents courtesy,
and if the Governors friends here have
conceived the brilliant idea of calling the
meeting for this evening with view to
getting Democratic endorsements which
might help them in their efforts to secure
Murray's reinstatement, they will doubt
lose find thair n1onc will meet with no
more favor here than would be accorded
them in Washington. The President,
we opine, does not share the opinion Of
Murray's infatuated friends that the
Democratic ranks cannot furnish man
who will in every respect prove to be the
equal of the retiring Governor, and it
would be an insult both to him and to the
party which made him President to ask
at his hands anything of the kind which
this dispatch refers to-

THE MEETING TONIGHT.

The political friends of Ex-Governor
Murray announce their intention of hold
ing meeting at the Walker Opera House
this evening. to endorse the course of the
retiring Executive during his official
career in Utah. This is an eminently fit
and proper thing for the Ex-Governor s
Republican friends to do; but why the
Democrats of Utah should be asked or
expected to take part in or lend counte-
nance to any such a movement, is some
thing that does not clearly appear.
However kindly disposed Democrats
individually may feel toward the retiring
Executive, they cannot consistently ac-
cept any invitation to participate in the
meeting called for the purpose OF express
ing disapproval of the Presidents action
in removing Republican office-holder
to make room for Democrat, for in so
doing they would but stultify themselves.
And it is all nonsence to plead or urge
that the circumstances are sucn as to
Justify in Utah what elsewhere in the
country would be altogether inadmissible;
the principle is always the same, and its
violation would be just as inexcusable
here as it would be in any other part OF
the Union.
In the language of the Republican
paper through which this call is made,
the meeting to be held this evening is for
the purpose of endorsing the course Of
Eli HI. Murray as Governor of this Terri
tory" Very we'll. Let the party friends
of Eli III. Murray do this; but to ask DEM
ocrats to join them in SO doing, is to ask
them to censure the Administration for
removing Governor Murray-that, and
nothing more. This they cannot and will
not do.
1t will, however, be quite proper for
the gentleman's party friends to thus
meet and resolve as to them may seem
proper, but to expect Democrats to take
a hand in the matter and give coloring
of Democratic approval to proceedings
which have for their object an indirect
censure of the President for the removal
of Republican office-holder, is to expect
them to violate all the proprieties which
should govern in such a case and lay
themselves open to deserved criticism if
not contempt

CHILDREN AMONG HOGS.
Inhuman Treatment by an Iowa
Father of His Own Flesh
and Blood.

DUBUQUE, Iowa, March IA well-to-
do farmer named Peter Warner came
here to-day to dispose of load of pork,
when it was discovered that there were
two almost lifeless children, girls, aged
eight and six years, lying between the
dead hogs. They were taken to physi-
clans office for treatment, but it is feared
both will die from the hunger and ex-
posure they have undergone the past two
days and nights. When asked what he
was doing with the children he replied
that he could do nothing for them until
he had disposed of the pork, and added
that he was tired of them. A large and
excited crowd gathered around the wagon
and for time it was thought the un-
natural brute would be lynched, but he
was soon hurried off to Jail to escape the
wrath of the infuriated bystanders. The
children will probably die.

THE SECRETARY OF THE TERRI
TORY.

A day or two ago the DEMOCRAT made
some pleasant little reference to Hon.
Arthur L. Thomas and the office which
he has ornamented for such q long time
past, and suggested the probability of a
Democrat being appointed to take his
place in the near future. Of course, we
all know that the appointment of a Dem
ocratic Governor for Utah means also the
early substitution of Democrat for the
Republican now holding on to the Secre-
tary's Office. Indeed, the eternal fitness
of things in a political sense makes it
clear that such change will be made at
no distant day.
The Tribune, however, thinks that Mr..
Thomas ought not to be disturbed, and
says that leading Democrats resent any
suggestions hostile to him, and say that
when his term is out it will be time
enough to think of giving Democrat his
place" Just So But the Tribune is a
Republican newspaper, and therefore
cannot see this thing in the same light
that Democrats do. We do not believe,
however, that leading Democrats will be
found to be opposed to Mr.. Thomas
removal, any more than they are to the
removal of Republican to make room
for Democratic Governor Doubtless it
would suit the Republican Tribune only
too well to have Mr. Thomas retained in
office, for it may be moved to desire his
retention by motives which are not
understood, and therefore not apprecia-
ted by the Democratic masses.
III we remember correctly, this same
Republican Tribune undertook to mis-
represent the sentiments of the entire
Democracy of Utah by asserting that to a
man they were grief-stricken at the Pres
ident's action in regard to Governor Muir
ray. May it not be just possible that it
also misrepresents Democrats when it in
Inmates that they are opposed to the early
removal of Secretary Thomas?

THE COST OF TELEPHONES.

New York business men are beginning
to complain of the charges made for tele-
phones there, and the Board of Trade has
requested the Senate to take up the
matter. They.have ascertained that the
cost of telephones per month in some of
the principal cities is as follows: New
York, $3.50; Buffalo, $4 to $40 Chicago,
$S to $40; Albany and Troy, "a to $5;
Philadelphia, $40; Rochester, 81 to $12 !;
Boston, Sc to SIP; Syracuse, 81; Balti-
more, 81 to 81; New Haven, $3.50 to Sc;
San Francisco, IS +; Providence, $3.50 to Sc.
The telephone companies started in
New York with charge of s. per month.
Superintendent Eckhart explains this
rise in rates on the ground that the
greater number of subscribers the greater
the expense of the company. He SAYS:
eff we have 100 subscribers in town,
one man has the privilege of talking to
ninety-nine. Ii there are 1000 subscrib-
ers, each can communicate with 999,
which is certainly far more valuable priv
ilege. In New York City there are $500
instruments, and there are about 5000
more in adjoining cities and suburbs.
When we were charging the S. rate we
had nothing like as many. We make
now on an average, about $4,000 connec-
tions daily"
This is singular reasoning. According
to such reasoning, when the telephone
comes into general use, it will cost New
York subscribers something like one hun
dred dollars per month. Ii another tele-
phone company were to start by the side
of the Bell telephone. would prices be as
high?
