HOW HE GOT LEFT.

1t is generally pretty we'll known how
the members of the Legislature are
chosen in Utah. The method by which
they are chosen may oe described
by saying that the members are "set
apart" TO labor as missionaries in the
vineyard of legislation. Whenever one
of thes missionaries loses just little bit
of spirit Of law (?) these same mission
aries are "set aside" The result is that
Utah has code OF laws rivaling if not
excelling the laws of the Tables of Stone
or the Twelve Tables. Nothing but the
gift OF Interpretation can tell what these
Jaws mean. This gift may be had upon
application to the proper court.
Now for the story of legislative mis-
sionary who was "set apart" and then
"set aside" This missionary was in the
last Legislature but will not be in the one
which meets on Monday next. His duty
in the Legislature was to perform what
ever part was assigned him. (Philologists
will easily trace the connection between
being "set apart" and being given n part
to perform.) When particular piece was
to. be performed this man forgot his
part" and voted against the perform
ance OF the piece. Such thing on the
part OF Utah legislator indicated the
presence OF the spirit which possessed
Satan to rebel in heaven, and, like Satan,
he was required to make his bow and
quit the stage. Some time ago a friend
asked him what he had quit the show
business for and in reply he said that the
way in which he had voted on certain
measures was not rs the bosses wanted
him to. Who the bosses are
in Utah politics we leave to
the conjecture OF our readers. This "set
aside" missionary is now wiser man
than formerly, but he is no longer
"chosen" to be worker in the vineyard
OF legislation. The moral OF this mans
mans mad career is, When you are "set
apart" as legislator, enact only those
parts that are assigned you.

JACKsoN's DAY.

To-day is Jackson's day, and to all
Democrats it is almost saints day. For
many years ii has not been popular in
the United States with the party which
has gone out OF power in national poll
tics, and never to return we hope.
General jackson had many faults, but
his virtues far outweighed those faults,
and to-day is held sacred by Democrats
on account OF those virtues. 1t was
very fashionable for many years to
deride jackson, and even to-day some
would make the term Jeffersonians and
JacksonIans terms Of reproach. They
cannot DE so made. 1t is with pleasure
we note that the officers OF the army
stationed at Fort Douglas tender to the
Federal officials OF the Territory recep'
ton to-day. There is no filter day in the
year for the military officers Of the Gov
ernment to entertain the civil officers of
the Government. There are none of
those jealousies and fears between the civil
and the military officers of the Government
in this country which characterize the
relations existing between such officers
under other governments. In the United
States the proudest boast of both mill
tary and civil officers is that they are cit
izens OF the Republic, and it is most fit.
ting that the military and civil officers o
the Government in the Territory should
meet and mingle together in honor ant
commemoration of Jackson's Day.

A POPULAR ERROR.

The Tribune OF this morning, in COM
menting on the Mormon question, speaks
OF the mass of the Mormon people rs
being "denscly ignorant" That is the
way in which the majority OF people
speak OF the mass Of the Mormons, and
the majority Of people make u mistake
i'm so speaking. If the Tribune means by
its phrase that the mass OF the Mormons
are ignorant OF American institutions and
have no acquaintance with the ideas which
are at the foundation Of those institutions,
we agree with the Tribune. II, on the
other hand, by its phrase it means Hitter
acy, we do not agree with it. The popu-
lar notion is that the Mormons are very
illiterate, which is an error. Only few
days ago Hon. A. G. Campbell made the
remark, in conversation with the writer
and another gentleman, that the Nor
mon people were as intelligent as any
people he had ever met OF the same class
and he particularly remarked the fact
that there were more men in Utah
WHO 1au Seen tne WOTlu uHu kucW
OF different countries, than any
place he had ever been in.
A man does not expect to meet among
the laboring class, and Of this class are
most OF the Mormons, the same culture
and refinement that are met with in the
university man of much travel and a
large experience in society. The great
mass Of the Mormon people are of the
laboring class, but in intelligence and
general knowledge they will compare
favorably with the same class anywhere.
They are Of one opinion as to the divinity
OF their church, and 80 fanatical are they
in their belief Of that divinity, that they
are charged with superstition. To people
of no particular religious profession, the
belief of jealous religionists in the Bible
and other religious works appears
as superstition. The Mormons are among
the most jealous OF such religionists, and
on account OF their zeal and their great
unpopularity they are termed supersti
tious. That they are fanatical, no ont
who knows them will deny. OF Ameri
can institutions and the theory OF the
Government they are ignorant, but they
are not "densely ignorant" in sense o
illiteracy.

IN A NUTSHELL.

When the Alta California wants to put
a whole political problem in nutshell,
it knows just how to do it. 1t is strong
civil-service reform advocate and in its
issue OF Wednesday the 9th inst, it puts
that question in nutshell when it
says: "Some indignation has been spent
upon the age limit OF the civil-service
law. The reason for that limit is that the
apprenticeship idea underlies the whole
civil service reorganization. Young men
are appointed to the service upon fitness
demonstrated by examination, and their
fidelity and ambition are stimulated by
the prospect OF promotion. The inten-
ton is to make the civil-service a
profession worthy the pursuit of active
men, and not an asylum for the lame and
halt OF ancient political battlefelds."
Salt Lake evening Democrat. [volume] (Salt Lake City, Utah) 1885-1887, 1886-01-08

mon the violation of the law the greater
the necessity for making the punishment
severe. 1t is the widespread and common
violation OF the law against unlawful CO.
habitation in Utah that calls for an in
crease in the punishment for unlawful
cohabitation. II cases OF unlawful cohab-
itation were isolated and uncommon,
there would be no necessity to make the
punishment for that crime different from
what it is to-day. Until the penalty fol
violating the cohabitation clause of the
Edmunds act is increased the courts will
have to rely on the rule OF three for the
suppression of unlawful cohabitation.

Patriotism 70 Partisanship.


We have all Tie reason in the world

are taxed millions Of dollars annually to
support the United States government.
are we not paying internal revenue
license taxes to the government every

tariff taxation. Have we any voice in
the levying Of these taxes or in the dis
brrsement of these revenues? Is there
any difference practically, between the
condition OF Dakota now and that of the
colonies at the time OF the revolution?
1t would be useless to attempt, in the
space OF newspaper editorial, to give
or even TO name all the reasons for and
benefits TO be derived from statehood
We believe the territorial condition is
demoratxing and that We, as American
citisens. do not fully appreciate the inn
portance OF the struggle before us-a
struggle that Involves the fundamental
p,insip'es and even the right of self
government. When Vest stated, in the
senate Of the United States, that that
body had the power to maintain the
territorial form Of government forever,
and when Mr.. Butler, Of South Carolina,
supported hin in his position. and when
Senator Harrison tells the friends of
statehood that'fllcy have no right TO go
ahead with the. present state govern
ment. then they, one and all, support
doctrine. that II sustained may actually
hold us in our present condition for the
next forty years, il not forever.
Such n doctrine is not democratic, is
not constitutional, is wrong, is INDUSTRIOUS,
and. even If democratic, we would not
sustain it, or for an instant give it
countenance. Democracy. we believe,
represents the best principles of consti-
rational government, and because it is
such, we are democrats. Will II avail

temporary partisan advantage-most de.

DEMOCRATS AND HOME RULE.


Just look al the home rule resolution
adopted BY the late Iowa democratic
state convention and telegmphed thou
sands Of miles away TO Parnell. SO far
zs the thought expressed in the rcsolu- |
ton is concerned it is proper enough.
1t is an expression OF sympathy with
Iresand and with the friends OF Ireland
in England, in the great struggle for
home rule. for selEeovernment. That
is commendable. II was the right and
ct thing 70 do 10 send message Of en-
coursgcment 10 fsr-of Ireland. But,
under the circumstances, the very send
ing OF such message, the very aek-
nowledgment Of the righteousness of the
cause OF liefne rule, is the seal OF the
iasincerity and demagogism Of the Iowa
democracy. II home rule is right for
Ireland, why is 1t not right for the PEG.
pie Of DAKOTA and for the people Of south
Dakota? II the Iowa democracy is at
pains 10 endorse home rule in Ireland
thousands OF miles away, how comes II
that at the same moment il endorses the
violation az home rule in Dakota, which
lies just ut the 5ordcrs Of Iowa and in
actual speaking distance of the demo-
cratic convention; in Dakota, where
thousands of the late citizens Of Iowa
themselves are practically DISTINGUISHED
and denied all adequate serlblsnce OF
se.f-zoyernment by the democratic party?
The Iowa democracy teiegraphs its
condemnation Of the suppression OF
home rule in Ireland, and then by ~
noring fragrant suppression of home rule
in Dakota, practically endorses In its
own party what Il ienounces id the gov.
eminent Of England. Here at the Dor.
ders Of Iowa in Dakota is a great people

democratic party no more than the Iowa
