NEW YoKK.s MAYOR.

TammanV having nominated Con-
gresham Abram S. Hewitt for Mayor
of New York, and the county Demo
cracy having endorsed the nomination,
Henry George and all others ambitious
to gain the Office might as well bring
their cam paigns to a sudden close, and
avoid further anxiety and expense.
Fully 100000 votes are assured for
Hewitt. and no other candidate can
hope for more than 10000. It is some
what humiliating to think that a man
like Henry George can gain such fol
lowing as to inspire him with the hope
of becoming the chief magistrate Of the
principal city of the republic. 1t sug-
gests that the low, ignorant. unthink-
ing element in the community is on the
increase, and is an intimation that the
perniCious doctrines of the Socialists
and revolutions are spreading
to threatening if not an
alarming degree. George is not what
We would call a blatherskite, but he is a
social and POLITICAL agitator, who plays
upon the sympathies and passions of
the vulgar and ignorant for the purpose
of putting money into his pocket, and
bringing himself into profitable notori-
ely. He is q social and political leveler
SIS TO all save Henry George, and as to
himself he would float over everybody.
The theories which he advocates, the
doctrines which he breaches would only
have to become universal to put an end
to all social and industrial progress, to
destroy all property rights and over
throw all governments, leaving the
world in the hands Of men who had no
interest in redeeming it, and restoring
the primeval order Of things when the
most active and most powerful man was
master. To argue that such q man
should be placed at the head of the
great municipality of New York is to
say that New York has been
progressing backwards" politically
and intellectually since the day
when the Dutch camped on Manhattan
Island, and agreed upon rules for their
government. Personally Mr.. George
IS brainy, clever, educated and progress
i've, as we are aware from conversations
with him and the sturdy of his books,
but he is a Socialist and a demsgogue
and his political and social doctrines are
sbominable, if not malicious.
But as remarked above, the nomins.
ton of Abram S. Hewitt crowds George
off the track, ard saves New York from
the disgrace CT being turned over to the
mercies of an unthinking mob. Mr.
Hewitt ranks among the great men o.
the nation. be is less q politician than
q statesman, and is more clear-headed
practical business man than either
While he has long been active and
prominent in politics, it was never &c
crafty personal ambition, but always
that he might do good to his party and
the country. He will make q most sue
ceesful Mayor of the metropolis, anG
his administration cannot fail to re
dound to the credit of himself and tht
Democracy which places him at tht
head of the city government.

Mr.. b. also refers again to the
authority of the general government
over the Territories, and affects sur
prise that since The HERALD appears SO
well informed in relation to the
Constitution, we should pretend
ignorance of the fact that the
power Of Congress over the Territories
is as unquestioned and unquestionable
as the power of q parent over child.
THE HERALD knows that absolute power
has been and is claimed for the general
government over the Territories, but
that there is any warrant in the Con-
stitution for the exercise of such power
We deny, and challenge Mr.. II. to pro-
duce it. II he shall fail to show q war
rant in the Constitution for the exer-
else of that power, then he is driven to
the admission that it is an unWarranted
assumption of power in exercising
which the government is not justified,
and indeed has no right to exercise,
and when it attempts the ex-
ercise of it, an outrage upon
the people is committed. If the
goYernment'sa action is not to be limited
by the Constitution, but it is to have
the liberty to exercise whatever power
it may choose to assume, the day is not
far distant when it will become a uni
versal engine of oppression.
Mr.. H. says the attitude of TIE
HERALD on this question is akin to that
of the lawyer in the rather stale story
of the man who was put in the stocks
for some ofense, when a lawyer passing
after inquiring into the case, told him
they could not put him there. But,
SAID the offender, II am here" "But
they can't put thee there" but an
here" replied the man in the stocks
So indeed he was, but for all that hC
may have been put there both in viola
ton of justice and law, which is, doubt
less, what the lawyer meant
THE HERALD does not question
the power of the general government Il
suppress polygamy or anything else in
Utah. It might send an armed force
to Utah, separate men from their fam
lies, strip them of their property, cas-
them into prisons, or even force them

As matter OF fact, the peoples ORR
ginally inhabiJing Europe, with the
single exception of the Germans, were
not homogeneous but polygamous. And
these polygamous peoples overran the
ives ern Roman Empire until they sub
dued it under their feet, and upon its
ruins sprang up the nations of western
Europe. AS Rome conquered Greece,
and afterwards, as a result of coming in
contact with Greek culture and htera-
ture, her institutions were not little
modified, so the social institutions
of the peoples that conquered
the Western Empire were changed and
influenced by contact with the corrupt
social practices of the Romans. They
soon learned the convenience of hav-
ing but one wife, and whatever num-
Der of mistresses they thought
proper. And that system, together
with promiscuitg has continued from
thai time till now. In practice, aside
from the mere marriage ceremonies,
Europe is polygamous, and always has
been, as much so and more than Utah
is. We do not know that we need bar
even the marriage ceremonies, for we
believe the percentage of morganatic
marriages among the gentry and titled
nobility of continental Europe, will
equal the percentage of polygamous
marriages in Utah. The only differ
ence between the morganatic marriage
and the regular one is that the left hand
is given instead of the right, when
the contract is made, and the morgan
attic wife does not succeed to the title
nor estates of the husband, neither can
the children succeed to them; but a
title is usually given to the woman If
she did not formerly possess one, and q
dowry is settled upon her. There is a
vast amount of hypocrisy in this 'world
of ours and in nothing is it more fire.
quently resorted to than in the effort
made to cheat mankind into belief
that modern European and American
society is true to Its homogeneous pre-
tentions. Yet free institutions in part
have developed in these countries where
If polygamy has not been openly
avowed, still in practice it has pre-
vailed TO a far greater extent than it
does in Utah; and this must prove that
free institutions do not depend upon
the homogeneous state of society as q
primary cause of their existence, and
show the error of Mr.. rs proposition
that a polygamous society is incapable
of progress toward a civilized state.

Hon. John |. I. Snaad.

One OF the most popular men in Ten
nessee is Judge John L. T. Sneed, Of
Memphis. Genial and warm hearted
we doubt if he has any enemy in the
State, and it is no exageration to say
that his friends are host. He is just
now being spoken OF for the Senateship,
and we find the following quoted in the
Memphis Ledger from Neils Gazette
and endorsed by the former paper;
"Judge Sneed holds warm place in
the hearts OF the people of Tennessee,
and it would afford them great pleas
ure to see this able and distinguished
gentleman again in public life, where
his eminent abilities, spotless purity
of character, exalted patriotism and
ripe experience would be a benefit and
an ornament to the nation. The be-
nightly of his nature is we'll known to
his intimate friends, for he is the most
unselfish OF men, never regarding his
own welfare when the interest Of a
friend intervenes. Judge Sneed has
the character-won upon the Supreme
Bench and wherever he has been placed
of exalted moral sense, purity and
uprightness of life, unblemished integ-
rity and devotion to principle, honesty
which cannot be corrupted and moral
courage and firmness which cannot be
driven from a patriotic purpose. With
the return OF such men to public life,
the future of our country will be bright
in hope and rich in results. We need
them

A Fine Portrait,

The public attention has been attrac-
ted this week by an exceedingly life like
portrait in crayon of the late Gustavus
A.Henry, exhibited in the show-window
of Owen & Moore's drug store. 1t is
the work OF his granddaughter, Miss
Ellen M. Henry. Major Henry was so
widely and so favorably known, and was
for so long time familiar figure in
GAINESVILLE, that no better subject could
have been chosen on which to try the
artists skill. The portrait is universally
pronounced an exact likeness. The
pose and expression are given with q
minuteness of detail that produces q
fine effect and relieves the picture oil
the set aspect that usually characterizes
a portrait.
Miss Henry has been a pupil for
some months OF Miss E. B. Smith and
the fact that she is able to produce such
fine work reflects the greatest credit on
her teacher.
A portrait of Clay Stacker Esq, ex-
hibited in Lockert & Reynolds drug
store, is Miss Smiths own handi-work
and is exceedingly well done.

Electric Light.


Clarksvllle is a growing city and some
of these days is going to be a great one.
The latest advance towards metropoli-
tan pretences was the formation of the
GAINESVILLE Electric Light Company.
The company is not a Dig corporation
as the name would indicate but is COM
posed of only two enterprising gentle
men who have determined to put their
capital in the undertaking, believing,
after thorough investigation and
counting of the cost, that it can be made
to pay.
These gentlemen are Mr.. w. A. Set
tie and Mr.. Clay Stacker. Mr.. Settle
is leading in the matter and will
probably manage it. The power for
the dynamo will be supplied by the
engine at the Anchor mill. To begin
with, they propose to- put in number of
arch lamps which can be used in front
of buildings, store rooms and public
halls. Later they will introduce the
portable incendescent lamps which are
sixteen candle power and suitable for
use in private residences.
These gentlemen think that when the
light has once been put in use in
GAINESVILLE that it will grow in popular
ity and come into general use. One or
two towers in the outskirts OF the city
would be an improvement on the pres
ent mode of illumination.
