HORRIBLE.

There is a horrible suggestion in IL
stories told as to,thc probable cause f, T
the disaster to the Cunard steamer
Oregon, which went down in New York
lower bay three or four days ago. 1t
was at first given out that the vessel had
been run into by schooner, but as no
schooner was seen by any of the crew
or passengers, as no schooner is missing,
and as the holes in the steamer are not
such as would naturally be made by a
collision, the schooner theory could not
be accepted. In casting about for an
explanation, the newspapers and some
OF the passengers have hitupon the SUP
position that an internal machine
caused the mischief, the idea being that
the dynamiterS are guilty of the deed.
The Cunard is an English line, hence
the dynamite theory is suggested
readily, as it is in perfect accord with
the threats and the efforts of the scoun
drels who are making war on mankind
by taking life and destroying property
unfortunately with the vain hope that
such fendishness will aid in solving
a social problem in favor of the
scOundrels, the whelps and loafers o:
society. 1t is hoped that the disaster
will be satisfactorily accounted for in
another way than that limited at, for if
it should be shown that the dynamiters
had actually been guilty of destroying
the ship and endangering the lives o.
the hundreds of men, women and chill
dren aboard, the great industry of ocean
travel would suffer a serious setback
and the civilized world be set to
trembling. The men who could delib-
ately plan and undertake to blow I'D tie
House Of Parliament, crowded with the
ablest and best men and women of
Great Britain, and with people abso-
lutely innocent of offense against the
Socialists, could also blow up steam
ship in mid-ocean, sinking it and its
living freight to the bottom. Had the
accident to the Oregon occurred an hour
or two earlier. or atanother place. all
on board would have been drowned

NOT CREDITABLE.

The Chicago Iater-O Ocean relates one
instance which should put America to
the blush. 1t is that:
An American missionary, who had
been stationed on the sea-coast of
China, went to an interior point last
year to establish new mission. Not
long ago his brother, a Chicago business
man, received letter from him saying:
"If l had been a heather Chinee in
Christian America l should not prob
ably be alive toe ay, for we have been
the victims of an Infatuated mob. A
lot of ignorant carriers conceived a VIC
lent prejudice against the Mclean
men, and ralded US with all the venom
of hoodlums and sand-Iotters. But the
government authorities came promptly
to our defense, protected our persons
and property, making good at once our
losses, which, fortunately, were slight.
In this country the Chinese are left to
protect themselves against mobs ard
violence, and when they are unable to
do this and become victims of abuses
and outrages, if they obtain redress it is
not by the prompt action of the govern
ment, but through the slow process OF
diplomatic correspondence between the
two nations. The American government
dare not even manifest disposition to
be fair and just in its treatment of the
abused Chinese, lest some wide-mouthed,
brawling demagogue should excite the
rabble to vote against the administra-
ton party. America is she gre alter and
more highly civilized nation, but its
sense OF justice is less keen than that of
China, and we could learn much from
the heathens in the matter OF true
civilization.

THE SUCCESSOR.

Or course we cannot tell who will be
made Governor OF Utah. There is more
than one bidder for the place. Col. S.
\. Merritt. of this city, has been more
frequently mentioned in connection
with the Office. He is known to be q
candidate, and he has good advocates
here and influential hackers in Wash
ington. The majority class of the PEG
pie of the Territory can have no voice
in the matter of selecting their Exec
utive; they expect none and will there
fore make no effort to b, heard as to
their choice-it being admitted and ac-
cepted by them that their request in
the premises would be without avail.
We believe that Col. Merritt would be
as acceptable to the masses of the peo-
pie, both Mormon and Gentle, as any
local man who stands any chance of
getting the place. The HERALD, a year
ago, urged the appointment of Col.
Merritt, and has since received
many assurances that his nom
instion would be satisfactory
The Salt Lake herald. [volume] (Salt Lake City [Utah]) 1870-1909, 1886-03-19

a million or two if that would have
prevented the strike. When one sees
such foolish proceedings as these by
employees he almost iooses sympathy
fjr the mad workingmen who per-
NIT themselves to be led about
in this manner to their own
detriment and destruction. People
forget the justice of the cause when
considering the insanity of the methods
employed. One of these days the in
telligent and sane men of the country
will have to step in to protect working
men and employers from themselves
and from each other, by compelling the
submission of all disputes to arbitration,
and the making of it crime to violate
the decree of the arbitrators. Had
somebody with authority to speak, said
whether or not the discharge of the
Marshall car-builder was justifable and
proper, and with power to enforce his
decree. millions OF dollars, directly and
indire> tly, would have been saved to the
railroads, the workmen and the people
of the several States affected by the
strike; and if it had been held that the
mans discharge was improper his re-
tention for the remainder of his life
would have cost less than was expended
for telegraph tolls during one day of the
strike.

to many influential men of both classes
n the community. The Colonel is an
old citizen q the Territory. is thor
oughly familiar with the people, and
understands he wants and necessities
of Utah; he is not radical, and tbs not
believed he stands in fear of the rule or
ruin clique which dominates and sub
ordinates so many of the Federal
officials. reducing them to the con-
dition of slaves to irresponsible and
reckless masters. The gentleman can
afford to b. independent and free, and
his long residence here and noting of
the rocks upon which SO many have
been wrecked, it is thought would en-
able him TO successfully maintain his
liberty, and avoid the shoals upon
which his predecessors have gone TO
their ruin, OF the local men who have
been thought to stand in the line OF the
Presidential lightning, Col. Merritt is
and has been the choice of THE HERALD.
The experience of the Territory, how
ever, with the present administration is
no. encouraging to the hor that citizen
of Utah will be made Governor. But one
officer in the gift of the President has
been given to Utah man, and in that
case the nominee fills the bill of a bona
ride resident only by a stretch OF the
real facts. We fear the goyernorship,
ike the offices Of register, receiver, as
sociate justice, and surveyor-general,
the only places filed by President
G eveland, will be conferred upon some
body from abroad, whose only ject in
coming here is the salary. A very few
DAYS will solve the conundrum and put
the matter at rest.
Whoever the appointee may be, he
should look carefully over the situa-
ton, and take warning from the past
We interpret the removal of Governor
Murray as a notice to his successor
that the administration has at last
concluded that the people OF Utah have
rights which the Federal Government
will respect; to mean that the Terri
tory will not be turned over to hand
full of reckless, irresponsible adpentur-
ers, holding Federal commissions and
backed by the Federal Government, to
be despoiled and plundered; to mean
that the community and the iAdiyidu-
ais of which it is composed must be
protected in their persons, property and
rights as a commonwealth and as pri-
vate citizens. If Murrays successor
shall prove wise, he will accept the re-
noval of his predecessor as notice that
ne mustbe Governor of the people, and
1ot OF factiSn merely, if he wonld re-
ain the Office and receive the commen-
lation and support OF the administra-
ion.

McCandless think also that they lost
some files.
With the implements just named to
sever the ball and chain fastening; the
revolver with its supply of ammunition,
and the provisions and apparel, Chun
Hook, the escaped convict, who is sup
posed without doubt to have commit
ted the robbery, would be fairly equip
ped for further depredations as well as
for standing off attempts to capture
him alive. AS showing that the robbei
was not after mere plumber in this case,
the fact is stated that five new good
suits of clothing and other valuable
property was left untouched. The
weapon, the files and the provisions
together with the light spoil taken
probably served all Chun Hooks i'm
mediate purposes.
The house robbed is situated oppo
site the spot where the chain gang
were working at the time Of Hook
disappearance, and in all probability
while the overseers were searching TO
the rascal behind the fences and amony

MORE FIRE.
An Incipient Blaze on the Steamer Mo
koli Another in House.

At ten minutes after eight o'clock
last evening, the Sunday evening quiet
was disturbed for second time within
a few weeks by the fire bell. Fire had
been discovered in the paint locker of
the steamer Mokoli, of the Wilder
line, at the old Custom House wharf.
The three fire engines came on the
ground in remarkably quick time, sta
tioning themselves along the wharves
in the vicinity. No. 2 was there first
and quickly had stream on, which
was sufficient to quench the fire in
few seconds. The Volunteer Boys
claim to have been on the ground first
and run hose, out to connect with the
above engine, but happily the single
stream was all that was required. Mr..
c. b. Wilson, Chief ENGINEER, was
early at the scene, and perhaps there
never has been a fire when the brigade
got sooner to work. Capt Davis, of
the steamer Likelike, hearing the alarm
when walking home with his wife, hur-
ried to the vessel and had the forward
matches removed for the entry of the
fremen, also gave charge of the vessel
to his engineer, Mr.. John A. Steele, in
the absence of Capt. McGregor.
The paint locker where the fire
occurred was simply a shelf on the
bulkhead forming the forward wall of
the fotecaste. 1t is not known how
the fire originated. Native hands
sleep on board, and it was native
who first saw the fire through two holes
in the locker. There was not much
damage done, what there was being
chiefly to the freight, composed mostly
of deck passengers furniture and
effects.
ANOTHER FIRE.
AT about the same time as the above
fire, blaze was started in bedroom
on the second floor of Mr.. Ramsay's
lodging house, Hotel street, by the
explosion of a lamp 1t was extin
guished without calling the aid of the
fremen, with garden hose and nc
outside commotion. There was 9
strong smell of fire in the neighbor
hood, and Mr.. Horn ran out th'
hose ever ready in his yard, but did moi
have to use 1t. The late hour wher
the information reached this Office pre-
vented inquiries as to the damsg
done, but it could not have been great

The Gulf Stream.

An investigation of the currents of
the Gulf stream during the months Of
April, May and June, both in 1885 and
1886, has developed the following facts,
set forth in report of the coast and
geodetic survey;
I. The current varies daily in velo-
city, at times as much as two and a
half knots. The greatest velocity is
about nine hours before the upper
transit of the moon. The variations
are more excessive on the west side OF
the stream than on the east.
2. The average daily current varies
during the month, the strongest set
apparently a day or two after the
moons greatest declination, but the
observations are not as yet sufficiently
definite to establish the exact law of this
variation.
q. The axis of the Gulf stream at the
position of the greatest surface flow is
eleven and half miles east of Fowey
Rock Lighthouse. The direction i:
always within few degrees of north
(magnetic). The strongest surface cur
rent at the axis was five and quarter
knots, the weakest one and three
quarters and the average current three
and six-tenths. There was evidence tina
the axis of thestream didnotchange witt
the wind blowing across it. 1t wa'
found that wind blowing against thu
current retarded the surface flow, anc
| it is probable that the wind blowing
with the current increases its velocity
