THE mystery with which Mr.. Arthur's
physician seeks to surround his case is
evidently quack advertising dodge, or
else he doesn't understand it himself.
Mr.. Arthur has been once President OF
the United States, and for that reason the
public is naturally interested in his con-
dition. He is commonplace man, and
his nomination for Vice-President was
the result Of an accident, as was his later
succession to the Presidency. He made
a fair Chief Executive, however, and
there was no necessity for the churlish
assertion OF his head medicine man that
inquiries concerning his health are actu-
ated by vulgar curiosity, rather than sym
pathy for the ailing man. 1t is an asper-
sion upon the estimation in which his
patient is held by the people, and more
insulting to the former than the latter.

THE WIEL-LA ABRA CLAIMS,

The dispatches this morning state that
Stephen d. White yesterday applied for
mandamus on Secretary Bayard, to
compel him to pay to the relator, as as
signee, the tenth installment OF the award
made by the Mexican Claims Commits
sion, amounting to about $150,000.
This refers to the award made in the
We'll and La Abra claims cases.
In 1868 a New York corporation, styled
La Abra Mining Company, owned and
operated group of silver mines in the
Mexican States of Durango and Sonora,
and in the spring of that year the Mexi-
cans, it is alleged, drove the company's
employees from the country and took un-
lawful possession of the mines. This con-
stituted the basis OF the claims for
damages against the Mexican Govern
ment, and when the matter was SUBJ
mitted for arbitration before the commits
sion in 1873, it was decided that the
Mexican Government should settle the
claims by paying the claimants some
100000. Some time thereafter, and
subsequent to the payment of several in
stallments OF the award, the Mexican Gov
ernment alleged fraud in the procure
ment OF the award, and Secretary
Bayard entered into a treaty with
Senior Romero for the purpose OF
having a rehearng of the case, and Sc
curing modification OF the award, in
the event OF fraud being shown in the
procurement OF the same. The Senate,
however, on Tuesday last, refused to
ratify the treaty, and now, as the dis
patches state, the authorized agent OF the
claimants has taken out writ OF man.
damus to compel Secretary Bayard to
comply with the terms OF the award
This is the claim, we believe, in which
the estate OF our late townsman, S. f.
Nuckolls, is largely interested, the Colo
mel at the time OF his death being a heavy
holder OF La Abra stock.

THE VETO POWER.

Teller OF Colorado, the Mormons' fugle-
man in the Senate, on Thursday presented
in that body petition from the Saints
against the absolute veto power of the
Governor in this Territory. 1t is not at
all probable that Congress will make any
change in that direction, or that the Nor
mon proposition will receive any consid-
cradle support in either House.
Any except absolute veto power
in Utah would be a most ridiculous
farce, and any restriction whatever
would practically amount to abrogation.
In all political matters the Mormons are
a unit, and when il is remembered that
but one Gentle has ever sat in the Legis-
lature here, the absurdity Of restricted
gubernatorial power as check upon i'm
proper legislation is at once apparent.
Our imaginative powers are not vivid
enough to conjure the statutory pande-
monium which would result from
exemption from the veto bride which
now keeps the Legislature within reason
able bounds. After legalizing polygamy
and validating the edicts of the Church
councils, probably the next move would
be to impose such heavy tax upon the
mining interest as would squelch that in
dustry in the Territory. If not too abb
surd, the prospect would be too horrible
to contemplate. Fortunately, however,
the remoteness of the possibility of the
proposition obtaining divests it of its hor.

STEALING COUNTY FUNDS.

The agents of the Mormon Church who
recently masqueraded in this city as the
representatives OF the people, and whose
compensation as members of the Legis-
lature the General Government for good
and sufficient reasons saw fit to withhold,
have come to the conclusion that they
want their money, and since they cannot
get it from Uncle Sam, they propose to
make thieving raid upon the treasures
of the several counties and take it,
anyhow. So far as we are aware,
there can nowhere be found even the
shadow of warrant for such proceed
ing, and ii the officials who are the re-
sponsible custodians of the county funds,
shall permit these sanity Legislators to
get hold OF the money-bags and take
therefrom such amounts as they claim to
be entitled to, they will without doubt be
held to strict accountability, and may
realize when it is too late to do them any
good, that malfeasance in office is some-
thing that cannot be committed with inn
punity, even in lawless Utah.
1t is understood that this scheme to
rob the county treasures has been
talked over for some time past, and
that it has received the endorsement and
sanction of the Church authorities. II
80, the county officials will ask for no
other warrant, but will proceed, like the
good Saints that they are, to comply
with the wishes or orders of their eccles-
iastical superiors and unlawfully pay out
the funds in their charge even to the last
nickel. 1t may be, however, that the
District Courts will be called upon to
take the matter into consideration, and
If the thieving game is carried out as
projected, those courts will undoubtedly
be instrumental in making the atmos-
phere of Zion altogether too torrid for the
comfort of any OF the Mormon officials
who may be connected with the steal.

A FOOLISH ATTORNEY.

The Territorial Enquirer states that at
the opening OF the First District Court at
Provo on Monday morning last, Judge
Powers announced that "he had received
Il note from Il person who recently had a
case before the court, stating that he had
been advised by his counsel not to pay
the costs OF court in his suit, because
Judge Powers would soon be ousted, ETC.
The Court stated that his term would
not expire until adjournment OF the pres
ent session OF Congress, or until his sue
cessor was appointed, and that all indebt-
edness would have to be promptly paid,
no matter who might be upon the bench"
That was certainly very foolish advice
for lawyer to give his client, unless, in
deed, he had some more tenable ground
upon which TO base his counsel than that
stated in the letter-"because Judge
Powers would soon be ousted." AS the
Judge remarked, his time of Office will
not expire until the adjournment OF the
present session OF Congress, or until his
successor is appointed; but even if the
vi opCi alCu W
Immediately suspend him from duty
upon the bench-which it does not-that
would afford an attorney no justification
whatever for advising his client to refuse
TO pay into court the regularly accrued
costs OF his suit, and no intelligent law
yer would counsel such a thing.
Judge Powers statement as to the time
when he can no longer legally exercise
the functions Of his office, is quite cor
rect. He was appointed during recess
Of the Senate TO fill the vacancy caused
by the resignation OF Judge Emerson,
and to end the opposition interposed to
his confirmation, he consented that his
nomination should be withdrawn. 1t is
true, the question has been raised as to
whether he ceases TO hold his office, or
retains the same until the end OF the
present session OF Congress unless, in the
meantime, he should die or resign, or the
President should make another nomina-
ton. But this question was fully decided
long ago, both by the Supreme Court and
by two Attorneys General, and there no
longer exists any doubt but that the with
drawal OF a nomination does not operate
TO yacate the commission granted during
u recess Of the Senate, and that the per-
son 30 commissioned holds until the end
of the session, unless death resignation,
or the nomination oi a successor by the
President shall intervene.

THE POSTAL INVESTIGATION.

The DEMOCRAT is glad that an investi-
CATION of postal matters in this vicinity
has been ordered by the head of that
Department. The Church papers have
been persistently charging crookedness
in the matter OF the Fordham- Best letter
published by our morning contemporary
some time ago, and in justice to all con-
cerned il is desirable that the facts should
be officially brought to light. Further
than the 1rtbune's explanation of the
manner in which the letter was obtained,
the DEMOCRAT knows nothing whatever
about it. 1t is confident, however, were
there any reasonable grounds for the be-
lief that it involved tampering with the
mails, the breaking open OF the letter by
any person 10 whom it was not addressed,
or the violation OF any other Federal law,
that the matter would have been pushed
TO the EXTREMIST point by the U. S. Dis
trict Attorney, regardless OF whom
it might implicate or involve.
The action, or rather the non-action
OF the Prosecuting officer and presiding
Judge OF this District has been, in our
opinion, unfairly criticised and commented
upon by the Mormon papers, and al
though those gentlemen have not deemed
1t necessary or proper to make any ex-
planation through the public press, it
will doubtless be gratifying to them to be
vindicated by an impartial investigation,
Instituted by Il department OF the Gov
ernment, separate from that under which
they directly serve. There are vague and
indefinite charges from the same source
OF other Irregularities in the mail service
in this section which will also be looked
into, and persons having complaints TO
make will have an opportunity OF laying

OFFICIAL 1MPARTIALlTN.

The Church organ does not know what
course Marshal Dyer will pursue, but
presumes that he will endeavor to carry
out the policy which President Cleveland
has plainly expressed on more than one
notable occasion. The presumption of
the C. o. is probably correct. The Presi-
dent has upon several notable occasions
expressed his adherence OF the illegal
practices of Mormonism, and his deter
mination to suppress them ii possible by
the rigid enforcement OF the laws. Mr..
Dyer was appointed to assist in enforcing
the laws, and from what we have seen and
can learn OF the gentleman, he will perform
his duty without fear or favor and re-
gardless OF the flattery OF pretended
friends or execration OF enemies which
his official course may invoke. The or
gan most considerably remarks that
Marshal Dyer must not be expected to
favor the 'Mormons' in any way nor to
neglect his duty as an executive officer"
The Marshal is not expected to favor
either Mormons or Gentiles. He is ex-
the suppression OF crime, whether COM
mitted by either, neither or mixed.
He is expected to exercise the same zeal,
vigilance and perseverance in the detec-
ton of Gentle counterfeiters, MOON
sinners and other violators OF the Federal
law, as in the discovery and bringing to
justice of Mormon polygamists, unlawful
cohabitators or other criminals of that
denomination. He is expected to adopt
the same general methods for the detec-
ton OF all species of crime and criminals,
without regard to the classification of
the former or the sectarian affilia-
ton of the latter. A faithful
officer is seldom popular with the crimi-
nal classes. Violators of the law have
no love for those who bring them to
justice, and their friendship cannot be
successfully courted by officials whose
functions bring them in antagonism with
their unlawful deeds, without dereliction
of public duty. For this reason it is
hardly probable that our new Marshal
will prove favorite generally with the
law-breaking element of the Territory,
either Mormon or Gentle. The organ
appears to have decidedly erroneous
idea in regard to what constitute the
duties OF United States Marshal. 1t
evidently considers them fully performed
by the serving OF warrants and other
official papers when placed in his hands
for service. The serving OF warrants
comprise but small portion OF the min
isterial duties OF that officer He is a
conservator OF the peace, and it is his
duty to ferret ont crime wherever
he has reason to believe it exists
to furnish necessary information for
the issuance OF arresting orders and
collect the evidence, ii it is to be had, to
insure successful prosecution. These are
the principal duties pertaining to the
criminal business OF his office, and we are
confident that they will not be neg
lected under Mr.. Dyer's administration.
We do not believe that he will discrmi-
nate in favor OF any crime, but will direct
his efforts impartially for the suppression
OF all, whether committed by Gentle or
Mormon

THE CHARGES AGAINST GOODE.

1t is expected that the Senate Judiciary
Committee will shortly recommence their
investigation into the charges preferred
| by the political hermaphrodte Malone
against Solcitor-General Goode, and the
latter gentleman is represented as court
ing the fullest investigation into his con-
duct knowing well that Malone is EN-
gineering the matter against him on purely
personal grounds, and asserting that the
charges filed against him are without the
slightest foundation in truth. The So
licitor-General says that he had no con-
nection, directly or indirectly, with any
election frauds in Virginia or elsewhere,
and he Indignantly denies that he has
ever been guilty OF bribery or other cor
rupt practice. As to the charge that he
received $500 for procuring an office for
certain man, he pronounces ii false
hood in the case specified or in any other
case whatever, and attributes the whole
baseless structure Of charges to the spite
work OF the soured and disappointed
mountebank Malone.
II is not believed that the investigation
will interfere with the confirmation of
Mr., Goodies nomination, since numerous
Senators ON both sides express the belief
that the charges are founded in malice
only. 1t begins TO look as though Ma
hone had woke up the wrong passenger
in his attempts to get even on somebody
or something for the defeats and set
downs he was subjected to in the last
political struggle in Virginia. The coun-
try would be relieved of a burden, and
the Senate OF an unmitigated nuisance,
ii Mr., Malone should take it into his
head to go of some place and die.
