THE HYENA'S CRY.

1t is stated that the San Francisco
Anarchists resolved at q recent meeting,
in connection with their co-laborers, con-
victed of murder in Chicago, "That
should the condemned men not receive a
new and just trial, we shall regard it as
au attempt on the part of the Govern
ment to force us into the horrors of a
forcible revolution"
To "force the tigers into forcible
revolution" is good. A little blood
letting now might save much hereafter.
The men who propose n repetition OF the
bloody French revolution in this free and
prosperous Republic had better "chip
in" at once" The lazy, worthless ad-
venturers who swarm to this country to
live upon the earnings OF working men,
and to lead them astray, are unfit to
live. They are Ishmaelites, whose hands
are against every man, and every
true mans hands are against them.
To the honest working man this is
the best country under heaven. Free
homes, free schools and free lands
beckon him and his children to q new
life and to an enlarged destiny. But the
workshop, not the saloon, the mine, the
farm and all fields of honest industry are
some OF the things which lift him from
poverty to competence and his children
to intelligence and honor. 1t is right and
wise that he should associate himself with
his fellow laborers to insure for himself
such protection as lawful concert OF ac-
ton will afford, and all true friends OF
labor will wish him success in his con-
test against the encroachments OF
arrogant capital, but it is not through the
murderous acts of anarchism that the end
will be attained. There is hardly large
city in the country but is honeycombed
with these hyenas OF the race.
The police and military forces at
hand are, in sudden emergencies, mur.
dered by the score by conspirators who
have been allowed to perfect their mur-
derous plans in secret. An ounce OF pre-,

OF two score faithful public officers on the

quicker they will be swept from the earth

THE VOTE FOR DELEGATE.

The canvass of the vote for Delegate to
Congress shows that Colonel Ferry, the
Democratic nominee, received 2,olO,
which is 595 more than were cast Tor the
Liberal candidate two years ago. This,
considering the lateness Of the nomina-
ton. only eleven days before the cleo
ton; the general impression that there
would be no anti-Mormon candidate to
vote for, which caused hundreds oil Gen
tiles to neglect to register; the non-dls-
trbution OF tickets in remote precincts,
and other unfavorable circumstances
which combined to lessen the vote, the
result is most satisfactory and better than
was anticipated by the most sangulne
friends OF the loyal cause. Had the NOM
ination been made the week before the
closing OF the registration and in time for
thorough canvass Of the most populous
portions OF the Territory, the vote Tor
Colonel Ferry would in all probability
have reached nearly if not quite, six
thousand. Had the Gentiles OF this city
performed their duty proportionately
with their brethren in other places the
aggregate vote would have been
materially increased. But notwith-
standing their non-action, the end is
attained. The Mormon Delegate Caint
has been forced to run against Il regularly
nominated candidate OF the Democratic
party. He can no longer pose at Wash
ington us a member OF that party. lie
will be forced to retire from the Demo
cratic Congressional Committee, for tina
body cannot with decency permit one t'
continue to misrepresent the party win
has run in opposition to nominee there
Of This is consummation most de
voutly to be prayed for, not only by tin
Democrats OF Utah, but by all OF tina
portion OF the Gentle element OF the
Territory which has the Liberal caus
at heart, and which hates Democrac
less than Mormonism.

WHAT OF THE NIGHT?

Every editor in the land sets his guess
ing cap at the Bulgarian problem. The
guess of to-day is the exploded bubble OF
tomorrow.
Not content with vast areas of their
unquestioned territory, some two or
three OF the great European nations, es-
pecially Russia, are anxious to obtain u
foothold on the triangular combination
embracing Bulgaria, Servia and Rou-
melia, These provinces occupy pecu-
liar position, being wedged in between
Turkey, Russia and Austria, with an out
look and seaports on the Black Sea.
Turkey in seli-deiense, the others in OPP
position, would like to control them abso-
lutely, not for their intrinsic value sim
ply, but US stepping stones to Eastern
domination. A false move, a rash slep
on the part OF any OF the great powers,
might precipitate u general European war
any moment. While the fate of
empires and the lives of tens
Of thousands hang upon the
word or whim OF despot, the world
holds its breath in the presence OF mil
lions OF armed men, awaiting the speak
ing OF the word or the humor of the
whim.
1t is a humiliating truth that in the
nineteenth century OF the Christian era,

RULE" IN NEVADA.

Charles w. Irish, Of Iowa City, Iowa,
has been appointed Surveyor General for
Nevada. The President in making the
appointment evidently took his cue from
the result of the recent election in that
State. The issue was made upon "home
rule" and as a majority of the people
voted against the principle in the matter
of United States Senator, Mr.. Cleveland
doubtless thought he was acting in ac-
cordance with their wishes in the appoint
ment Of an Iowa man for Surveyor Gen
eral. But seriously, the appointment is
an outrage. One of the best surveyors in
the State, an estimable citizen and thor
ough Democrat, had the endorsement OF
the Democratic Senator and nearly all the
prominent members OF the party there,
and the idea OF going outside the State
for person to fill the position is simply
preposterous. We can scarcely believe
| but there is some mistake in the dispatch.
The President gave what he doubtless
conceived 70 be good and valid reasons
for ignoring one OF the planks in the
Democratic National platform, in the APP
pointments for Utah, and is at least en-
titled to credit for the character OF his Sc
lections from abroad. We opine, how
ever, that it would puzzle him to find
even reasonable pretext for his action
in regard to the Surveyor-Generalship o

THE CARSON MINT.

The Winnemucca New ,SHcer STATE
thinks it strange that bullion from the
Comstock should be shipped past the
doors OF the Carson Mint for San Fran
cisco. 1t enormously lays the blame
upon the shippers, while the real cause
is the restriction placed upon the Carson
Assay Office by the Treasury Depart
ment in Washington. 1t is not probable
that the institution will remain open long,
even as an assay office, with such dis
elimination in the matter of allowance
for transportation as is made against it.
Shippers consult their own interest in
such matters, and so long as it is not
made an object for them to send their
bullion to Carson they will not do it.
With an even show, the bullion deposit
at Carson would soon Justify the resump-
ton of coinage at the mint. As it is, it
looks very much as though the present
experiment was ordered with view to
its failure.

millions of men are but puppets in one
mans hands. And 50, wise men and
fools alike are at fault, and both are as
uncertain in their guessing as are the
gyrations of weathercock. In multi
tude of counsellors there is safety. Every
great nation in Europe has an interest in
the settlement or hand in the fight
and there must be one or the other
shortly. In this view it, the bear
movement from the north will probably
subside for the present. But the war
ornaments will go on. Standing armies
will be enlarged. The earth will groan
beneath the oppressor's heel, till at last
burdens become intolerable and blood
will flow to the horses brides.

DELEGATE TOOLE.

The Democrats OF Montana have elected
their candidate for Congress by over 1000
majority. The Helena Independent be-
lieves that "with Democratic Admins
tration, and thoroughly Democratic
Territory, Montana may look forward to
many favors that she could not Otherwise
hope to secure. This is certainly cause
for general congratuation to every ma
terial interest in the Territory"
What contrast, says the hter-Idaho.

as Dubois to represent us, will be com

ask for any favors she may wish from the
