hundred million dollars.
The Salt Lake herald. [volume] (Salt Lake City [Utah]) 1870-1909, 1886-04-28

THE HERALD's special telegram from
Washington, on Tuesday morning.
brought some news that was significant
and interesting to Mormons and Gen
tiles. In the course Of his argument
against the Edmunds bill before the
subcommittee of the House Committee
on Judiciary, Hon. JEFF Chandler was
interrupted by the Chairman who in
formed him THAT il was not necessary
to discuss the provision for the appoint
ment of trustees for the management
of the Mormon Church." as the Com
mittee Thought government ought not
TO 90 into partnership with the
Mormon Church" This was signIi-
cant in that it was equivalent
TO saying that Objectionable fea-
ture of the bill would be stricken out
and it was interesting in its indication
of the failure of the Edmunds bill to be-
come a law. As our readers are aware
THE HERALD has from the first secuted
the idea that the infamous measure
would ever receive the approval of the
intelligent lawyers of the House of
Representatives and Mondays proceed
ings may be accepted as almost con-
elusive that the bill will go by the board
Should it be favorably reported to the
House, it viii be so late in the session
and so low down on the calendar, as to
make it reasonably probable that it will
not be reached before adjournment;
but even should it come up
Tor passage, the amendments will
send it back to the Senate to die
It has proven a really good thing for
the people Of Utah that Senator Ed
munds, in his rage and zeal, so far over
shot the mark as 10 destroy the effect |
Of his fire. Had he been reasonable and |
humane in his requests, there would |
have been no difficulty in getting his
bill through.

Of time. ObservationI and expert
ence have shown about how
much the avehge man can per-
form in the various fields of manual
and mechanical industry in ten hours.
and also the value of the labor, and the
price has been arranged accordingly
the price has been fixed for what man
can do in ten hours, and when he works
but eight. the pay for the other two
hours will necessarily be withheld.
Wages may be too low-and they usu-
ally are-and the hours of labor may be
too long-and we believe they are, but il
seems idle for men TO expect ten hours
pay for eight hours work.

DEMENT,.

The Senate Public Lands Committee
has again voted unanimously TO report
adversely on the nomination of Mr..
Richmond S. Dement, to be Surveyor
General for Utah. We accept it this
time as comparatively certain that Mr..
Dement, will be rejected by the Senate.
though that he will be bounced is not
absolutely sure. The same committee
on a previous occasion. took precisely
the same action in his case that it has
done now, and yet when the nomina-
tlon came up for the approval or dissent
OF the Senate, three members Of the
committee voted TO confirm. The
ewspapers of me country no wever, have
so mercilessly skinned the trucking
Senators since then, and have brought
out so many things demonstrating De
msnt's unworthiness to hold an Office
by favor OF a Democratic administra-
ton, that il is believed now that about
the only vote in favor of his confrma-

served so faithfully against true and

EIGHT HOURS.

A telegram in Tuesdays issue Of THE
HERALD said the master plasterers of
st. Louis had agreed to put the eight
hour system into effect on May LIST, but
that the wages would be reduced at the
same time fiom $3.50 to 1915 day, this
being an increase of Is cents day over
the present rate. There is a general
movement among vorkingmen through
out the country to demand and attempt
the enforcement of reduction of the
hours of labor from ten to eight day.
Wherever this demand is acceded to it
Will be attended by a corresponding
reduction of wages. If workingmen
could be made 10 understand this fact.
they would not be SO eager 10 change
the existing order. The st. Louis plaster

old system of $3.50 for ten hours work
to the new one of 1915 for eight hours

THE CANADIAN sCHOoNERs.

The seizure of the two Canadian
schooners by the United States revenue
cutter in Behring Sea, has given rise to
the question whether our Government
bought the right to the sea from Russia,
and if so, whether Russia had the right
of sale. The case furnishes no reason
why this should be so. The sole right to
capture and kill fur bearing seals in
Alaska was sold to the Alaska CONNER
cial Company, an American organization
of which the late Senator Miller of Cali
fornia was the head, and they were
limited in the number permitted to be
killed to 100000 annually, and
for the protection of the seal
fisheries, Government officers are
stationed both in Alaska where the
company's vessels sail, laden with the
pelts, and in San Francisco, where they
arrive, and careful count of every skin
is made as it is tossed on shore, and all
in excess of that number would be seized
and heavy penalty inflicted therefor.
These schooners had on them ten
breech-loading guns and ammunition.
contrary to law, and were seized for this,
and for the violation of Section 1856
Revised Statutes of the United States.
They were caught in the act of taking
seal, and had some 1000 skins
aboard them. They had no permit
or license for the work, and
being engaged in an unlawful business
were liable to seizure anywhere outside
of the National league of their own coun-
try. The Captain of the revenue cutter
Corwin, is man of extended experience
in such matters, and not likely to seize
vessels unless they were clearly in the
wrong. The enemies of the Administra-
ton will try to make capital out of this
seizure, while every true American will
hail it as good reprisal, and compliment
the Government for its work. The Alaska
Commercial Company is fully able to
bring about the condemnation of these
vessels, and the punishment of their
owners

VOLUME ".

With this issue commences the Fourth
Volume of this paper. The DEMOCRAT
was established in March, 1885, and is
now in the middle of the second year OF
its existence. 1t experienced in its
earlier davs the vicissitudes usually at
tendant upon journalistic ventures, and
for time the success of the enterprise
was problematical. 1t safely, however,
tided over the shoals of financial
adversely, upon which so many
of its predecessors had been
wrecked and is now in smooth
water, with correct bearings, reliable
compass, and sailing capacity sufficient
to enable it to pursue its course,
in the face OF any adverse winds
which it may reasonably expect
to encounter in the future. Its cir
culation and advertising business are
daily increasing, and its managers pro-
pose in the near future to make improve
ments in dimensions, quantity and quail

news-gathering facilities, proportionate
to the patronage bestowed by an appre-
ciative and generous public. The per-
menance of the DEMOCRAT is an assured
fact. 1t is here to stay. 1t is one of the
institutions of the city and Territory, and
will SO remain, despite the envious malice
Of its local contemporaries, Gentle or
Mormon. 1t will, as heretofore, advocate
theprinciples of the National Democracy,
and as Democratic organ of course will
continue its denunciation of local treason,
and sustain all lawful measures and acts
for the punishment of violators of the law.
and the suppression of the institution
which is responsible for its violation.
The DEMOCRAT asks nothing more than
its merits entitle it to receive, and of
these it is for the public to Judge. 1t is
no mendicant, and it solcits no aims. 1t
bases its claims to patronage upon its
ability to render value received to those
whose favors are recorded in the books
at the business office.

INDIANA card sharpers tried their best
to get away with an Indian doctor at
Grundy Centre, but he was too fly. They
then got him drunk and pinched his
watch. The next morning he walked
into a room where the gamblers were,
held them up with a pair of revolvers,
stood off the landlord and crowd that
seemed in sympathy with the thieves,
and recovered his watch. Card sharp
ers and thieves generally will understand
this paragraph.

"WHY EXPLAIN 9r

With shameless effrontery, equaled
in venom only by the Il Spicable attack
itself, the Republican organ this morn
ing repeats its dose OF inuendo concern
ing Envoy Sedgwick, and winds up a
shame-faced, school-boy argument with
the statement that the pretended excuses
do not deny that Sedgwick was roaring
drunk. This is absolutely false, as the
hotel-keeper, at whose place Sedgwick
stopped on the night in question, specific
ally states that Sedgwick acted as a
gentleman, and retired early on the night
in question, and this fact appears IN the
organs telegraph columns! Also a full
denial appears there from Sedgwick. and
surely he should have the benefit of the
doubt until he can be heard from further.
The organ has fallen into the habit of
striking at everything within reach of
late, regardless of who was hurt, and it
is just possible that that trick will come
back with ten ton power yet and shake
up the men who think it good Republi
can policy to calumniate and vilify
leading lawyer, while engaged in his
profession, even though engaged by a
Democratic Administration. The organ
people will find themselves on dangerous
ground, when traducing that profession,
as it holds an esprit du corps that even
political lines cannot remove, and its
members are loyal TO each other. If this

LIEUT.. YOUNG'S ASSIGNMENT.

That Lieutenant Richard w. Young
should be ordered to Fort Douglas is re-
garded not only with the utmost sur
prise but with the most pronounced in
dignation by the loyal people of this city,
as it will be by that element throughout
the Territory, as soon as the news of
this most remarkable action of the War
Department is generally known. Lieu
tenant Young is a grandson of Brigham
Young and is one of the most bitter and
tanatical Mormons that was ever obi
gated under oath to obey the orders of
the church authorities in preference to
any other power, not excepting the Gov
ernment of the United States in whose
army he is commissioned officer. 1t is
a well known fact that the principal
necessity for maintaining a military post
in the vicinity OF this city is the disloyal
sentiment of those who constitute the
so-called church, with which Lieutenant
Young is in full sympathy and fellowship,
and which disloyalty is only prevented
from manifesting itself in open rebellion
against the Governmental authorities, by
wholesome fear of the military power.
The placing of an officer to assist in the
maintenance of the law, who is himself
in full sympathy with its violators and
their crimes, is certainly great mistake
on the part of the War Department, and
one which was doubtless committed
through ignorance of the sentiments of
the person assigned to duty here. Upon
proper representation of the facts from
the civil authorities and the loyal people
generally of the Territory, the error will
doubtless be rectifed by the resembling
of the order and the assignment of Lieu
tenant Young to some other locality,
where. he can conscientiously discharge
his duty as an army officer, and without
violating any of his obligations
to the institution to which his faith is
pledged, and to which he holds para
mount allegiance. No time should be
lost by the representatives of the Federal
Government in the Territory in laying
the facts before the War Department, |
when General Sheridan will, in all prob
ability, revoke the order, which as it
stands, is not only a'gross insult to the
law-abiding people of Utah, but the most
ridiculous military blunder that was ever
10y any general officer of the
United States Army.

and several similar attacks boded any
good TO the Republican party, the organ
would have some pretext for tearing
Sedgwick to pieces, but that excuse does
not exist. 1t is part of its habit to howl
at somebody or something, to keep up a
racket, on the principle of the philosopher
of Duxbury, who bequeathed to his son
a long tin horn and good pair of lungs,
saying elbow your horn Tommy, even if
you don't sell clam"

The severe shocks of earthquake felt
all over the country yesterday were
doubtless due to the recent startling flip
flap of the Bar Harbor oracle on the
question of Prohibition, as said flip was
calculated to make the demous of the
neither terrestrial world laugh, and when
they laugh they shake things. 1t will be
noticed too that the shake occurred most
violently in the very strongholds of Pro-
hibition, and the boys are now aware
that the Plumed Knight is on deck and
open for business.
