Frequency Of Earthquskes-In This Coun-

During 1885, says Major Powell, Director Of
the United States Geological Survey there were
recorded the following earthquakes in the
United States and Canada Canadian provinces,
8; New England, 8; Atlantic States, o; Missis-
sippi Valley, 3 Pacific Slope. "a total, 50. Dur
ing the twelve years from 1879 to 1888 there
and Canada 3e4 earthquakes, distributed
as follows: Atlantic Slope, 1T; Mis-
sissippi Valley, &c; Pacific Slope, 151.
From this list IL appears that in the entire area
earthquakes occur on an average once In twelve
days, and once n month on the Atlantic slope,
Many OF these disturbances are, however, so
slight as TO be unperceived by the majority OF
1.-THE people, and 10 should be observed that the
list Is more complete in the densely populated
and frequently shaken Atlantic slope than in
either the seldom-shaken Mississippi Valley or
the sparsely populated Pacific slope.

Kentucky Congressman's Oratory.

Washington dispatch: Mr.. Wolford,
Congressman from Kentucky, makes
three speeches where any other member
OF the present House makes one. He is
rapidly developing into an infliction.
His "holt" is war claims and pension
bills. His style of oratory is the pathetic.
Give him the case of a loyal widow
whose wood-pile melted away in the six
ties as the result of the proximity of an
army. For two minutes Mr.. Wolford talks
with gravity; then his arms begin TO
swing; the perspiration comes out in big
drops and rolls down his face. His voice
quavers and takes on the tremulo of the
camp-meeting exhorter. At length he
weeps. 1t seems as ii he is about to be
overcome with emotion. Not so. He is
now in his red heat, and he maintains it
until the rap of the gavel informs him
that his time is up. Then the tears stop,
the deep rich color gradually recedes, the
perspiration dries, the broad face ex-
pands with that happy look, and Mr..
Wolford is serene and at peace with all
the world again.

JUDGE POWERS.

The attempt of the Mormon press to
connect the withdrawal of Judge Powers
nomination with his position upon the
principal issue in this Territory, is as fool =
ish as it is destitute OF facts to consti-
tute the shadow of showing that there
is any such connection. The Admins
tration's course in the matter was influ-
enced entirely by events transpiring be-
fore Judge Powers came to the Territory,
and was in no wise based upon anything
which could afford crumb OF comfort to
the Mormons rs indicating any objection
at Washington to his judicial
course here-and especially in regard to
the polygamy trials over which he has
presided. The DEMOCRAT took no part
in the contest, being certain that the OPP
position to his retention involved no local
issue, and having confidence that the
Administration would act wisely and
justly in the premises. That it has done
so there is no reason to question, and we
accept the decision Us the result OF fair
and impartial investigation OF the facts
and situation.

STANDARD DOLLAR COINAGE.

Nearly all OF the Eastern papers are
noticing with satisfaction that the Adj
ministration has perservered in its policy
OF not coming double eagles and is
steadily minting more half eagles. Some
of the New York journals, mostly anti
silver, clamor for more liberal coinage
OF quarter eagles, to meet the wants Of
the daily retail business of the people.
This is an admission that the
quantity of small coin is not suf-
ticient to meet the demand, and
conclusive proof that more silver
dollars should be placed in circulation.
AT time when there is such opposition
in certain official and business quarters
about the supposed danger to which our
monetary system is being exposed by the
continued coinage OF the white metal, the
Financial and Mining Record finds it
opportune to publish, with appropriate
remarks, the following statement OF the
total coinage OF standard dollars, since
the 1st of March, 1873, to the lst of
March, 1886:

A FITTING ADVOCATE.

The blackguard and blatherskite
"Brick" Pomeroy is a fitting advocate OF
the beauties OF Mormonism and defender
of the "rights" of an organization upheld
by ignorance and based upon lechery and
treason. During the war this creature
published sheet so villainously vile as
to incite the disgust OF all OF the decent
members of the party which it proiessed
to support-so UNANIMOUSLY base, in fact, 1t
was strongly suspected that he was pecu-
niarily encouraged" in its publication
by Republican politicians in order to rem
der as odious as possible the cause
which it pretended to espouse. The i'm
munity OF his sheet and himself from the
rigorous measures adopted against re-
spectacle journals and journalists adj
versely crticising the Administration in
those exciting times, would indicate the
correctness of the suspicion. At all
events, soon after the termination of the
war he threw off the mask, and upon
some frivolous pretext commenced bel
lowing Justify for the election OF
the Republican nominee for President.
His paper has always been synonym for
all that is low, vulgar and venal. Itisnow
engaged in the congenial work of pictur-
ing the beauties of polygamy; dilating
upon its domestic advantages and highly
moral tendencies, and showing that its
practice is promotive of "peace, happ-
ness, prosperity and enjoyment OF home
and its surroundings" 1t is as pro-
found and convincing in this rs in its
argument that plural marriages, being
part of religion" should be sustained
by law and reasonable organizations
protected by the Constitution. The Cen
tiles of Utah and Mr.. Pomcroy are to be
congratulated-the former that he has
taken up the cudgcls for the polygamists
and the latter that he has found cause
to advocate 50 congenial with his filthy
nature

THEY ARE AFRAID OF SILVER.

The Omaha Herald must be pretty
hard up for something to urge against the
unlimited coinage OF silver dollars, when
it stoops to the publication OF such rot as
this in its editorial columns:
1t is figured out that BANDS unlimited
coinage bill only had 70 per cent. of the
number of votes necessary to pass it. Per-
haps if it had been an honest 100-cent dollar
instead of n dishonest 79-cent dollarit would
have had 100 per cent. of majority instead
of 10 per cent
Suppose this dishonest 79-cent dollar"
should have added to it the necessary
grains OF pure silver to make it the
"honest lO0-cent dollar" which the
Herald and the gold rings it represents
claim that ii ought to be. Would the
men who now oppose its continued
coinage, and whose frantic rawlings at this
time show that they are really half
frightened to death for fear that
its unlimited coinage will be
provided for at the next
session OF Congress-would these rings
abandon the opposition they now mani
fest to silver and join forces with the
friends OF tnat metal to secure for it the
place it ought to occupy in the monetary
system of the country? We doubt it.
The greed and avarice OF the gold-bug
rings cannot so easily be satisfied. Even
with the addition Of the grains of silver
which they assert is necessary to make
the Bland an "honest lO0-cent dollar, ,"
their opposition to the white metal would
not cease? Unlimited coinage of silver
dollars would increase the volume OF
money to such an extent as TO give us
something like the per capita that is
actually needed to properly perform the
exchanges of the country. In the eyes
OF the men who are opposed to the silver
dollar, this would be calamity indeed.

MIR. DEMENT'S CHA Noes.

We are inclined to believe that the
Chicago Herald will find itself dreadfully
at sea in its conclusion that the renomin-
alton OF Mr.. Dement, to be Surveyor
General for Utah will be brought before
the Senate "under better auspices and
with greater hope of success than be-
fore" The Herald must have re-
sorted to peculiar process of
reasoning to arrive at this conclusion,
especially if it has kept its weather eye
open to note the little pleasantres that
some time ago passed between John
Alexander Logan and the Senator from
Colorado, and which doubtless had their
origin in the formers championship OF
Dement'S confirmation.
To those who have carefully watched
the circus that OF late has been going on in
the Senate between John Alexander and
several OF his Republican colleagues,
with Teller behind the latter, egging
them on in their efforts to upset
John Alexander's apple-cart as
an aspirant for the Presidential
nomination, it looks rs though there
might be room to doubt his willingness
to again champion the confirmation OF
his protege here in Utah, for that could
only result in again bringing Mr.. Teller to
the front and making the breach between
them wider than it already is,and further
damaging John Alexander's prospects.
The President relieved the members of
the Senate of considerable embarrass-
ment in again placing Mr.. Dement'S
name before them, and they should now
show their appreciation OF the kindly act
by rejecting the nomination at the
earliest possible moment.

New York Sun: More than nine
thousand bills have already been intro
duced into the Forty-ninth Congress; I;
more than seventy-two hundred in the
House alone. Yet there are no signs of
the end Of this session, and next Deem
Der more bills will be in order. Perhaps
one in a hundred OF those thus far intro
duced may become laws. 1t seems a
waste OF time to accumulate such a
quantity of material with which to block
the files of committees and overload the
calendars. But it would be a less harm
less use of time to pass the greater part
of these measures.
