Professor Thurston, in the Forum, says
of the limit in speed OF ocean travel that
a steamship 800 feet long, of $4,000 tons
measurement, and engines of 100000
horse power, might attain speed Of
about forty.eight miles an hour, and
cross the Atlantic in three days and n
half. Its engines, with fuel, would
weigh Is, 900 tons, its hull & appurtenan-
c 8 10000, leaving 5000 tons capacity for
passengers and freight. The cost of n
voyage would be about $4,000, and this
would be met by 500 passengers at $3.50
each. The mails and high class freight
might yield sufficient revenue TO pay a
profit on the investment. The construct
ion of steamship of such dimensions
and capabilities he thinks possible, aud
that it will be bu lit whenever there is a
commercial demand for it.

NOT A DEMOCRAT.

Speaking of the personal appeal made
by Senator Logan to his brother Senators
for the purpose of securing the confirma-
ton OF Dement, as Surveyor-G for
this Territory, the Denver NelcS says:
The confirmation of Mr.. Dement,, at the
request of Senator Logan, shows very clearly
that any Democratic appointee of the pres
ent administration who is supported by the
Republican Senators from his State will be
confirmed. Mr.. Dement, acted unwisely
when he went on to Washington, in talking
too freely about matters that he did not un-
He afterwards denied these interviews, but
the burden of proof was against him.
The Ne,Us is in error when it refers to
Mr.. Dement, as Democrat. That indi-
vidual's record and his own admissions
furnish all the proof that any reasonable
person could wish to establish the fact that
he is no Democrat, and that he has only
masqucraded as such for the purpose OF
helping Republican friend into Office
and securing such political pap as that
friend might beg for and throw to him in
payment for his work-work which, il
performed in military instead OF a po-
litical campaign, would have justly earned
him q position as elevated as that ac-
corded to Haman OF old.
The Neps puts it very mildly when it
says that during his sojourn at Washing
ton, Mr.. Dement, "acted unwisely." The
DEMOCRAT thinks he acted very like a
well-developed specimen of the animal
upon whose back Jesus is said to have
ridden into Jerusalem.
The Democrats OF Utah have no use
for Mr.. Dement,, and they sincerely hope
that when the vote by which he was con
firmed is reconsidered, they may be re
lieved of such calamity in public Office
as he has proven himself to be.

MORE LAMANITES FOR UTAH.

The Southern Ute chiefs Ignacio, Buck
skin Charley and Ta-puche, have re-
turned to their reservation in Southern
Colorado from their trip to Washington,
whittier they went for the purpose of
opening up negotiations with the Interior
Department for an exchange OF their res
ervation in Colorado for lands in Utah.
1t seems that the miners and cattlemen
operating in the vicinity OF the reserva-
tion on which the people represented by
these chiefs are located, have not been
able TO get along peaceably with the red
skins, and conflicts between struggling
Indians and bands of cowboys, in
which the latter have generally
been the aggressors, have been of
frequent occurrence. "Outrages by the
whites, F." says the Denver Ne,CS, "resulted
in retaliatory measures by the Indians,
and following the custom of his race, the
Indian illustrated the principle OF revenge
contained in the old story OF the Indian
who was insulted by u white man In san
Francisco, and to get even, kicked some
other white man in New York on the
place intended by nature to be kicked. Z"
The upshot OF these troubles is that the
Coloradans want to get rid OF the Indians
and the latter are only too willing to sur
render their reservation for the greedy
cowboys to gobble, provided they can be
given lands in Utah. The Interior De-
partment has not yet acted upon
their petition, but it probably will
do SO very shortly. The fact that
Utah is already afflicted with large
Indian population will probably not be
taken into consideration at all, ard it
seems to be almost assured that whether
the people of this Territory want them
or not, here they will come, anyhow.

GLADSTONE AND HOME RULE.

Our dispatches from London this after
noon state that Mr.. Gladstone has at last
submitted to the Cabinet Council his
Home Rule and land measures for Ire
land, presumably in one bill.
AT this writing, the details OF the
scheme by which Mr.. Gladstone seeks to
do justice to the Irish subjects of the
British Crown, are not before us, but
from what the dispatches say it is highly
improbable that the scheme will meet with
the approval OF the Premier's co-laborers
in the Cabinet. Indeed, the London Oh
serrer predicts that ii the projects are
persisted in, disruption of the Cabinet
is imminent.
1t has heretofore been announced that
Mr.. Gladstone expects the resistance
OF Lord Harrington and his Wing follow
ers to his policy, but also expects to
be able to overcome their opposition.
Ii the measure is defeated in the
House OF Commons, Parliament will
undoubtedly be dissolved Immediately.
If successful in the House OF Commons
and defeated in the House OF Lords, it is

SENATOR LOGAN's PROTEGE.

Washington special published in yes
terlay's Tribune states that the contirma-
ion Of Mr.. Dement, as Surveyor-General
for Utah was great surprise all around to
the friends as well as to the opponents Of
that gentleman. 1t is also stated that
the friends of Colonel Morrison are greatly
inceDscd over the matter, and have been
demonstrating with the Democratic SEN
ators against the support of man who
was General Logans friend in Me Demo
cratic camp during the recent Senatorial
fight in Illinois. "
Evidently, Colonel Morrisons friends
know what they are talking about, as did
Senator Plumb of Kansas when, on
Thursday last, he intimated that so
gan's obligation was from Dement, acting
as a spy in his behalf in the Senatorial
fight at Springfield" II it be objected
that these are er-parte statements only,
which the real facts in the case might
not bear out, the DEMOCRAT will add
thereto the admission OF Mr.. Dement,
himself, who within the past week has
admitted that he did work like II beaver
to secure the election of Mr.. Logan to
the Senate. The mans own admission,
in this case at least, is certainly worth
something, since it is simply and only
corroborative OF the statements made by
others who are doubtless we'll posted as
to the work which he performed in Mr..
Logan's behalf, and in return for which
the Senator from Illinois literally begged
the votes OF his brother Senators to secure
his protege's confirmation.
This is the kind OF Democrat Mr..
Dement, is. No wonder Mr.-Logan was
anxious to cancel, at the earliest possible
moment, the obligations he owed to such
tool. For the sake OF the Democratic
party, ii not on the broad ground of COM
mon decency, it is to be hoped that when
the matter OF reconsidering the vote o
confirmation shall be reached, the Dem.
ocratic Senators will follow the lead o.
their party friends on the Public Lands
Committee, and slap in unanimous vote
for the rejection OF Mr.. Dement'S nomi
nation.
