BEGINNING TO MOVE.

The suggestion of the DEMOCRAT that
as soon as practicable after the adjourn
ment OF the Legislative Assembly, the
Gentiles of Utah should meet in mas
conventions and discuss and decide upor
the legislation which Congress should bt
asked to enact for the relief of this Terri
tory, has been received with such favor
as to make it certain that meetings
called for this purpose will shortly be
held in this city and probably throughout
the Territory.
This is duty devolving upon the Gen
tiles of Utah which all should meet in the
spirit and with that earnestness that
characterizes the actions OF free men
when fighting for rights and privileges
unjustly withheld from them by any
usurping power. 1t is duty the per-
formance OF which none can afford to
shirk or hang back from, for the times
are now ripe for securing the measures
which will restore to us the privileges en-
joyed by citizens everywhere else through
out the Union, and by no lack OF interest
or of timely action on our part should
the occasion be allowed to pass unim-
proved.
Already the movement has been in
augurated by the Liberal party, and
call issued by the chairman of that Or
30
meeting on Wednesday next, in this city,
"to take into consideration the present
political situation in this Territory, and
advise such action thereon as the COM
mittee may judge expedient."
The members of the Democratic Terri
torial Committee, as we are informed,
are moving in the premises, and definite
action may be looked for in very short
time. We presume that the Republicans
of Utah will not be slow to follow in the
footsteps of the above-named organiza-
tions, and add their voice and strength for
the attainment of that which all agree
should and must be secured before the
Territory can be rldded of the evils which
for SO long have hung over it.
These are the days big with fate for
Utah. Let the united voice of all free
men in the land wake the echoes round |
about until their reyerberations shall, |
with no uncertain sound, fall upon the
ears of those who are charged with the
duty of looking after the good and well
fare of all the citizens of this great ma
tion, and to whom it is not possible that
the Americans in this Territory can now
appeal in vain.

SENATOR LOGAN'S PROTEGE

A Washington special published in yes.
terday's Tribune states that the confirma.
ton of Mr.. Dement, as Surveyor-G General
Tor Utah was great surprise all around, ,to
the friends as well as to the opponents OF
that gentleman. 1t is also stated that
the friends of Colonel Morrison are greatly
incensed over the matter, and have been
demonstrating with the Democratic Sem
ators against the support of man "who
was General Logap's friend IN the Demo-
cratic camp during the recent Senatorial
fight in Illinois. -
Evidently, Colonel Morrison's friends
know what they are talking about, as did
Senator Plumb of Kansas when. on
Thursday last, he intimated that "Lo-
gan's obligation was from Dement, acting
as a spy in his behalf in the Senatorial
fight at Springfield If it be objected
that these are er-parte statements only,
which the real facts in the case might
not bear out, the DEMOCRAT will add
thereto the admission OF Mr.. Dement,
himself, who within the past week has
admitted that he did work like beaver
to secure the election of MIR. Logan to
the Senate. The mans own admission,
in this case at least, is certainly worth
something, since it is simply and only
corroborative of the statements made bv
others who are doubtless we'll posted as
to the work which he performed in Mr..
Logan's behalf, and in return for which
the Senator from Illinois literally begged
the votes of his brother Senators to secure
his proteges confirmation
This is the kind of Democrat Mr..
Dement, is. No wonder Mr.. Logan was
anxious to cancel, at the earliest possible |
the obligations he owed to such
a tool. For the sake of the Democratic |
party, if not on the broad ground of COM
mon decency, it is to be hoped that when
the matter of reconsidering the vote of
shall be reached, the DEM
ocratic Senators will follow the lead of
heir party friends on the Public Lands
Committee, and slap in unanimous vote
Ior the rejection of MIR. Dement'S nomi-

NOTES FROM PARK CITY.
ssRecOrd'' Items of Interest from
Utah,s BonanZa Camp.

The heaviest fall of snow so far this
winter fell last Tuesday night.
A large number of commercial men
have visited the Park the past week, but
dull times prevented them from meeting
with much success.
On the 10Th of the present month the
original Buffalo Bill will appear in Soci-
ETY. Hall with his full company of artists
and his band of genuine Pawnee Indians
With the approach of spring, the pre-
dicted activity in mining transactions are
commencing to come to the surface. A
sale of an eighth interest in the Deer Val
ley group was affected Thursday evening,
at a fair figure. 1t is understood that
negotiations are pending on several sales
ofmining property that are likely to be
consummated in the near future.
If all goes we'll there will he novel
wrestling match in Society Hall, next
Saturday night, between D. A. Mcmillan
and ]. c. Dolan. They are to wrestle
four styles, Greco-Roman, collar-and ell
bow, catch-as-catch-can, and Cornish.
"Mac" has to throw Dolan three times to
win, but should Dolan succeed in throw
ing "Mac" twice out of the five trials, he
will be declared the winner. It will be
very interesting.
There has been some talk that the
Knights of Labor, of this city, were about
to erect building for lodge purposes,
and in connection with the same, erect a.
fine Opera House; but we do not think
from what we can hear that such will be
the case. The Society Hall cost over
$l6, 900, and building such as is proposed
by the Knights, would cost not less than
$25, 1000. Such a building would not pay
three per cent. on the money invested in
it, and although the Knights are the
strongest organization in the Park, num-
bering from 300 to 500 members, we do
not think that they would care to indulge
in any such expensive luxury as this.

A Bonanza i'm North Star.

The Florence, in North Star, Campbell
d Cullen's recently reopened property,
is proving as big bonanza as the Horn
Silver, says the Utah Southern Times.
Work was begun on this mine the first of
this month. A shaft forty feet deep,
has been sunk since that time.
and one hundred and fifty tons Of
ore hoisted, that averages probably
twenty-eight ounces silver and forty to
fifty per cent. lead. Five cars will be
shipped north, by rail, in day or two.
Not pound of waste has been taken out,
and the extent of the ore body is yet un-
known.

by the people, and consequently did not

Local Option.

Tie development and spread of the tenn
perance sentiment in the Southern States
within the past six years borders on the
phenomenal Georgia has declared in favor
local opt on by deo ded voice an Virginia
has adopted prohibition law. Tennessee
will vote upon 10 cal option this coming fall
and throughout the en- ire Sou h the antI-li-
quor sentiment is daily, becoming stronger
and the indications are that Delaware will
make an herculean effort at the ensuing cleo
tion to have her name ennolled among her sis
ter states which have "local option inscrib-
ed upon their tscutcheous
There is no Disgusting The fact that there
is significant unde rcurrept, which, if pro.
perly dircc'el, will prove strong motol
power to the temperance cause. The sym
pathies of majority of our citizens are un-
questionAbly in favor of circumscribing, tC
their narrowest limita ions, the evils which
emnanate from the sale of intoxicants, ant
all that is now needed is unity of action.
The friends of the temperance cause will
enter the coming state campaign with full
ticket under the banner of Local Option
This ticket will be representative one an
will command the support Of those opposed
to the demoralizing influences of the liquo
traffic.
Mr.. Joseph Pyle " ill he asked to be tn
standard bearer Of the Local Optionists an
the entire ticket W i'll be named without an
reference to partizan politics.
This ticket will cause rattling of DIR

will serve not ice that the day of genuir

End the Morocco Strike.

The strike in the South West is ended but
what has been the harvest for the laboring
interests of this country? By actual figures
the railroad strikes lost in wages S2OO,0
a week for two months, aggregatng more
than 81 200, 000,not only is this forever gone,
but the confidence of the employers in en-
ployes is severely strained and Furthermore
the deadly influence of the strike has paralyz-
ed every industrial interest Of this country.
A brief resume of the strike is, that the
men did not want TO strike they had steady
employment and satisfactory pay, but they
were ordered to strike by committee that
assumes to say who shall work and who
shall be employed by employers and when
the company refuse to obey an outside com
mittee and discharge men who were accep-
table, strike was ordered on the South
| Western roads, much to the Inconvenience
of the public and quite as much to the pro-
fit of Jay Gould.
| II would doubtless be more grateful to the
now generally innamed labor sentiment of
the country, to say that they should resent
the decision of the officials !; but every man
capable Of sober reflection will see that the
position taken by those officials is the one to
which all parties must come at last. And
no greater calamity could befall labor than
to overthrow the position declared by the
railroad board. If it shall ever be possible
for organized labor to drive employers from
the common-sense, practical, business-like
attitude taken by the railway direction, it
would be the end of successful industrial en-,
terprise in the land. There would soon be nc
employers to give employment to labor, il
they are 70 be voiceless in the selection o.
their agents to whom they must commit
their business and their property, and whit
: capital could live, labor would starve. AL
Q will end at last lust where the South Wes
strike has ended, and the sooner al! partie
accept the inexorable commands of law ant
reason. the sooner will industry and busines
enjoy revived prosperity. Those who advis
labor difficulty may be cheered by the mul
ttude to-day but when homeless and bread
i less men must suffer for the industry tina
a labor demagogues have destroy yed, those VIII
g have dared to be honest and truthful witt
organized industry will be most respected
The end must be clear to all who intelligent
ly look for it let us reach il promptly All
in generous justice to all.

to the total wreck of the constitution. MIR.
Chairman, the whole business of improving
these so-called navigable riveis would seem
like huge jest were it not that it has been
seriously proposed in this House to expend
millions of the peoples money on just such
projects.
The keynote to the situation is given by
the repeated and ever-recurring attempts to
have the appropriations increased in almost
every instance whore the river runs through
a members o wn district. Evidently the idea
is that it will be water on his mill, however
scarce it may be for all purposes of nayiga-
ton. But, sir, the eyes of the Taxpayers Of
the country are well open to the niquity Of
this bill. They will not submit patiently to
such a monstrous perversion Of the true in
tent and meaning of that clause Of the Con
stitution authorizing, or rather intimating,
the right for Congress to spend money in
this direction"
