THE wheels Of progress are clogged
in Utah territory because the governor
has vetoed the bill approprlating money
for the support of schools, courts and ell
eemosynary resortss This cripples every
public charity in the territory except
Mormonism, which dourishes because
there are enough lone women in the
country who accapt its conditions to pre-
vent their cases from becoming totally
hopeless. 1t is said, however, that this
lack Of funds entails much inconvenience

Intimately connected with the govern

boys of New York. A steamboat took
them out and back for ten cents, and as
Sunday was the only day they could 60,
they all went Sundays and had a good

thought this was not right according to
their norlons, nd exhumed for their pur-
pose, some of the old B1lsrt Laws that are

meeting and then come there prepared

/ HAS Mr.. LoRE's withdrawal
strengthened him in the Democratic
party, or has it destroyed his last hope
of senatorial prefermentP Mr.. Lore
made good representative and his
career in congress was in every way
| an honorable one, his ambition to be
Senator was laudable and his letter
| of withdrawal, to heal party dissen-
sions, was most commendable. His
action win undoubtedly have a ten
dency to heal, to a great exte mt, the
breach in the Democratic party, and
goes a long ways toward removing
whatever small element of uncertainty
there might have been as to the out
come of the impending election. So
far Mr.. Lore's action has worked
nothing but good for the Democratic
party, but now the question arises,
What is Mr.. Lore's self abnegation
going to work for Mr.. Lore ? Mr..
Lore deserves something handsome at
the hands of the Delaware Democracy,
but political parties are ungrateful
and promises made in political
heat are likely to be forgotten
when the ends for which they are made
are accomplished. He has made many
friends among all classes of democrats
by his honorable action, and these men
talk Of him for Senator in 1889; but
Senator Salisbury, or some one of
Senator Saulsbury's nearer friends will
want that seat and who can tell what
the whirligig of politics will bring to
US by the time Senator Gray's term is
out ? Perhaps we will have Lore for
Senator then. On the other hand
many of Mr.. Lore's friends were in
favor of a fight to the last, and held
that his chances for success were still
good, and that they could scarcely ever
be better. There is grave question,
as the party is at present constituted,
whether Mr.. Lore will ever get any
thing; but that he deserves recognition
because of his native ability and his re-
cent withdrawal from the contest in
the interestof harmony can be in no
way denied. 4. Hf
