UrAH's FINANCIAL PLIGHT,
A Bill to Provide Federal Aid and at the
Same Time Deal a Blow at MOrmOnism.


A Bill to Provide Federal Aid and at the
WASHINGTON, July Ex-senator Gull
lum has reported from the Committee
on Territories very important bill
affecting the situation in Utah. Last
spring Governor Murray vetoed all Of
the appropriation bills passed by the
Mormon Legislature, on the ground that
they refused to recognize the legal
officials of the Territory, but authorized
the disbursement of the appropriations
by Mormon officials elected by the Leg
islature, who, under the law, had no su-
thOrity to disbUrse money. The Legis-
lstuTe adjourned without providing
funds to support the Territorial Govern
ment, and the President sent a message
TO Congress recommending that some
measure be adopted to relieve the en-
barTassment, Since that message was
sent in, the Supreme Court Of the Terri
tory has unanimously sustained Gov
eTnOr MUrTay's veto in test case, and
has refused to recognize the Mormon
officials.
The Cullum bill sppropriates the sums
provided In the bills vetoed by Gov.

by the legally constituted officials. 1t
contains several important qualiica-
tions, however, which are intended to
strike MormOnism in certain places
where 1t is very strong. For example,
the public school system Of the Terri
tory is taken from the Church and placed
in the hands Of trustees, to be appointed
by the Governor, and the University of
Deseret, which Is Mormon institution,
and Is supported by public taxation, Is
treated in the same manner. The bill
also provides for the payment by the
Territory into the Treasury Of the United
States Of money which has been ad-
vanced by the Uuited States to pay the
costs of the trials under the anti
POlygamy act. The Mormon Legislature
has refused for several years 70 appro.
pirate money for this purpose, and the
Territory Is now indebted to the General
Government to the amount of $2S0,0
in round numbers.
An attempt will be made to secure the
passage of this hill before adjournment,
as there are no funds in the Utah Treas
ury since the first Of July for the sup
port Of the courts and other official ma
chinery of the Territory, and none can
otherwise be provided except upon terms
the Mormon Legislature may dictate.

the Committee on Ways and Means
directing the Secretary of the Treasury
to apply the surplus In the Treasury to
the extlDguishment Of the public debt,
will be called up, 1t is proposed TO keep
the sanitary fund paid up, but not over
paid. 1t is now largely Overpaid, and
the Democratic policy is to be the call
ing In of bonds 80 as to reduce the In
teres!-bearing debt. When this Is out
Of the way few more land grants will
be forfeited. Other than this the party
decree Is that there shall be at this ses-
sion no more legislation. The Senate
controls the situation as to final ad-
jOurnment The House has dumped
with it number Of appropriation bills
at one time. Because of this the Senate
felt inclined to retaliate by taking Its
time and prOlong the session. However,
as the weather Is hot, this spirit is play
ing out, and the aim now will b9 to get
through by the 28th instant.

GENERAL sICKLEs AT GETTYSBURG.

General sickles's defense against the
charges made that he precipitated the
battle of Gettysburg Oh July I'd by disO-
beying orders and engaging with the
enemy, is that he didn't disCbey orders
because in spite of his warning that the
enemy was massIrg on the left, he got
no orders, but On his own responsibility
moved so as to secure Little Round Top,
The enemy vsinly tried to drive him
away but at loss of 1000 out of 10000
he held the position. This, he maintains,
was the decisive engagement at Gettys'
burg, Could Lee have secured Round
Top he would have commanded the sit
uatiOn. Had General Meade reinforced
Sickles he maintains that Lees army
would have been destroyed. As 1t was,
he had to abandon his plan Of invasion;
retreat was inevitable, the assault of
General Pickett nsxt day being merely
a mad and useless act of desperation on
the part of g beaten General. According
to Sickles, when that officer asked fer q
court Of inquiry to rebut Halleck's
charges, President Lincoln answered in
his characteristic way: "Slckles, they
charge you with bTir ging Oh the battle;
they say you pushed out with your men
too near the enemy, and began to fight,
just as the council of war met, at about
8 o'clock on the afternoon Of the battle.
l am afraid what they say of you Is true
and God bless you for It'll Don't ask
US to order an iuquest to relieve you
from censure for bringing on the battle
Of Gettysburg. History will set yOu all
right, ard give everybody his just place.
There vas glory enough won at Gettys'
burg to go all around"

ing the many great advantages of the
electric light in mines. Its use has hith-
ertO been imprscticable, because the
light of an incandescent lamp being pro-
duced within a vacuum could not admit
Of any device for showing the presence
Of fire damp. such, for example, as Is
employed in the DaVy lamp. This diff
Guilty, however, has now bOen obViated
by new invention. 1t consists Of two
incandescent lamps, one with white
glass and the other with red, SO con-
structed thatin an ordinary atmosphere
the white incsndescent lamp alone
shines, while II fire damp Is present the
white lamp goes out and the red one be-
gins to emit its warning rays. This
beautiful design, as described and illus
trated by the Electrical Review, Is so
simple that it promises to be great
boon to miners. 1t Is very handy and
portable, and so sensitive to fire damp
that 1t readily detects and signals the
presence of FIVE per cent Of explosive
coal gas in mixture Of gas with air.

TARIFF EXPLANATION.

Hon. william D. Hill, of Ohio, has
written the following letter explsna-
tory of his views as to the Morrison tariff
bill. 1t was called forth because of a
telegram sent him by Mr.. Harpster,
criticising his vote In favor Of the con-
sideration of the Tariff bill:
House OF REPRESENTATIVES
WASHINGTON, d. c., June 16. 1886
To d. HARPSTER, ESQ, Fowler, Ohio
My Dear Sir: haYaEeceiVed your tele-
gram to-day. / sent you leaf from the
Congressional Record of this morning,
from which you can see how | stand on
the wool question. | shall vote to con-
slider and debate the Morrison bill, but
| will not vote for the bill, or for any
b Ii which puts wool on the free list.
happen to know that there are thirty
Democrats in the House who will vote
to consider the bill, but who will vote
against it with the wool clause left In
it. There are q great many good
things In tie Morrison bill. One Is it
changes the whole system Of the admin
istTatiOn of the Custom Houses, so as to
prevent fraud and underValuations.
That Is an excellent feature of the bill.
Knowing, as do, that the bill does not
stand the ghost of chance to pass with
the free wool clause left in 1t, and that
we have a majority of at least sixty to
strike out this free wool clause, see no
risk to the wool growers Of Ohio by
voting for the consideration of the bill.
On the other hand, honestly believe
that If 1t ia considered 1t will be so
amended as to prove acceptable geEeF-
Sly to all interests and all classes
There will be no rest for the wOOl-grow-
ers or any other of our productive in
dustries until the war tariff taxes are
Teluced. 1t will be agitated
constantly from year to year by one
party or the other. As soon as a whole
some bill is passed the country will set
tie down to business for ten years or
more, and the wool men and iron men
and all the protected intUs ries will
have period of prosperity and rest. l
have heard but one remedy suggested
by the protectlonists. and that is to abol-
ish the internal revenue law and in
crease tariff duties. Ia other words,
give our starving laboring men whisky
at five cents quart, but pile up the
price of sugar, coffee, tea, salt, lumber,
stockings, knit goods, blankets and all
the necessarles of life. Well. can't af-
ford to do that. Public life has no
charms for me if purchased at such
sacrifice of principle and public honor.
Very respectfully, W. D. HILL.

PENSION sHAMs AND HUMBUGs.

Exposure in the Senate on Saturday
showed the way pension business Is
transacted by that select club Of Repub-
lican corporation lawyers and million
aires. A few days ago an alleged report
from the Pension Committee of the Sem
ate bitterly and coarsely assailed the
President for his vetoes, misrepresenting
them, aud eulogizlng the committee for
Its arduOus and self-sacri6clng lsbors in
preparing pension bills. TWAS regu-
lar indictment. On Saturday, Mr., Kenns,
and the three other Democratic members
Of the committee, forced the admission
from the cranky Blair, Of New Hamp-
shire, that he end Sawyer, of Wiscon-
sin, we're the only members Of the com
mittee present when the report WAS
agreed to that the bills passed should be
passed over the Presidents objections,
and also, as 'tated, C0arsely maligning
the President A protest from the Dem
Ocratic members Of the Pension Com
mlttee was presented against the Blair
report with the result that the protest
and report were both sent back to the
committee, a number of Republican
Senators voting with the Democrats for
recommittal, and also joining in severe
criticism Of Blair's action. The dark
lantern conspiracy to make capital
against the President by partisan false
hood has come TO grief.
II comes out that the special pension
bills passed by the Senate by hundreds
were prepared by Sawyer, Of Wisconsin,
who kept corps of clerks at work put

report In each case In which facts were
deftly adjusted to the claim. Some

THE. UNIVERSAL DEPRESSION OF
THE ANTIPODES

The cry of the hungry is heard in our
streets, and, despite the works which
have been started from time to time,
the unemployed are still far too nUmer-
GUS. The laboring classes are suffering
most severely, and this nOtwithstand-
ing thousands have left US during the
past few months for the other colonies,
the exodus by sea alone being some
three thousand in excess of the arrivals.
Unfortunately, however, for themselves,
there are many among US who have not
the means to transport their wives and
families to the other colonies, and these
have to weather the storm as best they
can, or, If they determine to 90 them
selves, leave their families behind them
subjected TO many privatiOns and temp
tations, to become, In all probability,
the recipients of assistance from the
Destitute Board.
But at length the labor markets of
the other colonies seem fully supplied.
From New Zsaland, from New South
Wales, from Western Australia, the cry
is that work is scarce; and from Vic
t0ris, too, comes warning that there
Is some difficulty in absorbing the thou
sands that are pouring In. Our work
ing and artisan classes find themselves
Ia sad dilemma. The demand for
their labor has almost ceased In South
Australia, and it is rapidly coming to
an end in the other colonies South

THE BRITISH ELECTIONS.

Mr.. Gladstone has failed to secure q
majority, and will have to hand the gov
oInment over either to the Tories or a
combination Of dissenting Libtrils and
Tories.
II is not settled whether the Tories,
pure and simple, will have majority.
They have been gaining largely, but so
far not enough to give them control Of
tn House of Commons, except by the
aid OF votes of the dissenting Liberals.
However, 1t is possible tho Tories will
have a majority of the $40 members, but
the chances are a coalition government
will be necessary.
In that case will come the opportuni-
ty Of the Nationalist. They have we'll
on to hundred votes, and can block all
legislation unless the government as
sents to the consideration of the Irish
questions.
Psrnell with we'll disciplined force
of hundred members at his beck and
nod is power that will make itself felt,
especially as 1t will have the moral sup
port of between one and two hundred
Giadstonisns. There are likely to be hot
times In Parliament.

WEDDING OUT WORTHLESS REPUB-
LICAN CLERKS.

1t is announced that seventy-five
clerks were dismissed from the Treas
ury Department on the 1st Of July, and
If 1t indicates that q serious attempt is
to be made to sweep away some Of the
worse than dead wood In the Washing
ton departments, 1t will be good. For
many years Washington has been the
haven for POLITICAL wrecks from every
part Of the United States. This Is true
Of the great number Of men who were
forced upon the departments between
the close of the war in 1865 and the end
OF General Grants Administration In
1877. If thousands Of these were dis
missed and their places filled with new
men supplied by the Civil Service Com.
mission, 1t would be an improvement.
In confirmation Of this Washington
special to the Pittsburg Dispatch says:
Private conversation with Republican
leaders shows that this (their civil SER
vice talk is mainly political buncombe.

In the departmental service who ought
to 70, and who, 1t is confessed, were the
political conditions reversed, would lot
be, allowed to remain twenty-fOur
hours. There are clerks who were con-
spicuous in Republican campaigns,
men who have always been identified as
leading political spirits, who left their
desks every campaign to make speeches
who worked for Blaine early and late
who were, and are still, able and ac-
tive party organizers. No men are more
surprised than these same officials.
Their continuance In Office unmOlested
and unlntimidated ought to be fair test
imony that the Administration Is not
false to its ante election promises, aud

the grade Of the classified service are

What the Democratic Commissioner Say
Concerning Past Methods.

What the Democratic Commissioner Says
Concerning Past Methods.
Civil Service Commissioner 0berly
has found a good many things connect
ed with the Civil Service Commission
that have greatly astOnished him. He
grows quite animated when talking of
some of them. In conversation lately
he said:
"From the organization Of the Com
mission to the time when President
Cleveland was elected all the examiners
for places in the civil service were Re-
publicans. There was never an instance
when Democrat presided over an ex-
animation except where Judge ThOman
happened to be present l asked MIR
Eaton for an explanation of this. told
him assumed there was some explana-
tiOn of 1t on non-partisan basis, for
on the face it appeared badly. He said
the explanation was that the Commis-
sion was obliged to appoint Republi-
cans, as there were no competent Dem
Ocrats In the service. The fact of the
matter is, there were no Democrats,
competent, or otherwise, In the service,
and that is terrible comment on the
methods that prevailed 80 long under
the old regime"
DO you propose to change around
ard have none but Democratic exami
neTs nOWp"
'By no means. That would be max
ing Democrats out as bad as Republi-
cans. We do propose to see to it thai
these Examiners are divided between
the two parties. 1t Is only proper that
that should be done, think. About the
worst thing know Of was in New York,
The Board there consisted Of eight Re-
publicans, and always had been 30 con
stituted. After President Cleveland
was elected, some one seemed to think
that perhaps this did not look just right
8 six Republican members of the Board
we're removed and six Democrats were
appointed in tier places. But the
peculiar part of it was that the Civil
Service Commission made COmstock, u
Republicsn member, Chairman, and Bah
cock, the other one, Secretary. In that
way the power to call meetings, appoint
committees, and keep the records all
remained with the Republicans. The
Democratic examiners in New York
thought the majority ought to have the
Office of Chairman and Secretary Of the
Examining Board, and agreed with
them, and suggested that If they would
select the persons to fill these places we
would try to get them installed. This
was done, and Immediately there was q
howl from certain class Of newspapers
that 0berly was organizing things in
the interest of the Democrats, and that
was what l was made Commissioner for.
If there is anything wrong in what l
have done, under all the circumstances,
| fail to see where II comes ill.,"

The Mount Vernon Banner, edited by
that veteran Democrat, Hon. Leckey
Harper, put the Payne case In this way:
"That money was spent freely among
members Of the Ohio Legislature at the
time Mr.. Payne was elected o. s. Sena-
tor, has been very clearly established
by unimpeachable testimony; but all
attempts to directly connect Mr.. Payne
with this shameful business has proven
utter failures No one that knows Henry
B. Payne will believe that he Ia capable
of being party to bribery and corrup-
tiOD; but that he was the unfortunate
beneficiary Of the transactions of men
WHO had plenty OF money and we're de-
termined that Mr.. Pendleton should be
defeated at every hazard, there is no
manner of doubt.
ut is to be hoped that this Ohio Sera-
tOrial election Will teach the people q
lesson that will long be remembered.
No man that has accepted money as Q
consideration for his vote for Senator,
or any other business, should ever be
returned to the Legislature again. He
should be branded with the mark of
Cain, and Stunned by all honest people.
Ohio can not afford to follow the ex.
ample set by the Pacific and other States,
where seats In the Senate were purchased
by INSCRIPTIONS millionaires. There
must be honesty In politics as we'll as
everything else. Bo0dlers and Doodle
practices must be stamped down into
the earth"
