THE PONTIFF's DECREE.

The Roman Pontiff has placed a ban
upon the Knights of Labor in Canada,
and doubtless will extend its effects into
the United States. This is severe
thrust at the Order, as fully one-thrd of
its membership are OF the Roman Cath
Ollie faith, and are thoroughly obedient to
the dictates OF the Church. 1t well
known fact that the Church has placed
all secret societies under ban, and the
Knights OF Labor are classed as members
OF secret societies. The effect OF the Or
der in Canada, will be to decimate the
ranks OF the Knights in that country, and
iorce them to form some other organiza-
ton which the Church can countenance
In the United States, however, should
the same ban be published, il will not be
80 fully complied with. The march of
enlightenment which now embraces the
working classes, has taught them to see
Just where the union OF spiritual and
TEN poral affairs is hurtful to the latter,
and while owing allegiance to the
Church in all matters touching their
spiritual welfare, they will not be led
AGAINST sound reason and their own in.
terests on matters with which the Church
can have no concern. In the case OF the
various leagues growing out of the move.

MORE TRIBUNE" DRIvEL.

Our Republican contemporary this
indulges in quarter column OF
such rot on the political outlook for Utah,
as to induce the belief that the writer
thereof has at last reached the turn in
the lane he has long been traveling-and
gone clean daft OF course, it grieves us
greatly to be compelled to speak thus OF
one whom in earlier years we knew as
Il man OF excellent heart, some little
common sense, and not altogether with
out ability as a newspaper writer; but
what can we think or say when the poor
creatures mental faculties become SO
badly impaired that he begins to imagine
himself prophet, seer and revelator,
and sets forth and asserts as positive
facts such monstrous, cock-and-bull
stories as all sane people can clearly see,
are hut the evolvements OF mind
diseased? Take the rot above
alluded to, for instance, which
he winds up with the startling announce
ment that "the contract has already been
n1aue WIFI uIle MOTlnOHS W uellNeT Otdn
into the Union as a State before the 4th
OF next March!" Suppose some curious
individual were to ask him for proof OF
the truth of what he asserts, does any
one imagine that he could furnish it?
Hardly. He might, however, vouchsafe
the inquirer an idiotic leer, and inform
him that we are at present living un-
der Democratic administration of the
Nations affairs, and time will
tell, etc. The fellow is just
sane enough to deal in such dirty
innuendo as that. We are o
opinion that the Democrats will agree to
the admission of Utah as a State (unles
things change materially for the better
Just about the time that the editor OF oul
Republican contemporary en- joys a luci
interval long enough to enable him
see what an ass he is now making {
himself, and that will be-the Lord onl
knows when.

BOTH LOGICAL AND FAIR.

correspondent writes us from Fill
more, Utah, commenting disapprovingly
upon an article which appeared in the
DEMOCRAT on the 2Sth ult. relative to
certain frauds which had been unearthed
in the Chicago postoffice by Republican
hold.overs Our correspondent says;
"This,''' you say, ''proves how necessary 1t
is for the Democratic Administration to
oust Republicans from every place OF trust
in order to escape the charge of complicity
in the orme." Is not this conclusion of
yours both illogical and unfair? Would it
not be an insult to the intelligence of the
country to suppose that the very Admins
tration which is unearthing those frauds
could be charged with completely i'll them
The DEMOCRAT thinks its conclusion
neither illogical nor unfair. The Admin
istration is responsible to the country Tor
the honest conducting OF public affairs.
Each and every fraud committed either by
Republicans who are permitted to retain
office, or by Democrats, will be charged
by the people to its account-and justly
80, because the Administration possesses
the power to remove and appoint. Due
regard for the public interest as well as
its own protection would inspire the Ad-
ministration to entrust the public
business to those who are IN
sympathy with it politically, and
who, it is reasonable to presume
are most directly interested in the
maintenance OF its dignity and success
Would our correspondent as II prudent
business man consider it good policy tc
employ a clerk who was working to dis
place him from the head OF affairs and tc
substitute another person more accepta
BILE to himself? Would he feel that his
business was as safe in the hands of sucl
a man, rs in those OF one who wLs in full
sympathy with his policy and method
and desired his success and retention
The success OF the Administration
identical with the interests OF the country
Frauds in public offices are q reproach t.
the Administration rs well as los
to the country, and the former OWE
it to itself as well rs to TIL
latter that every possible safeguard shoul
be placed around the Federal Office
which it controls, and for the honest col
Quoting of which it is responsible. Th
DEMOCRAT believes that as rule, the
is greater safety in entrusting the Office
to the friends OF the Administration
power-whether it be Republican or Der
ocratic-and it has the consolation
knowing that this belief was almo
unanimously endorsed by the RepubI
can party while it held the reins of go
ernment.

BURIAL CEREMONIES.

The Philadelphia Press, in comment
ing on the unostentatious burial of Til
den's remains, says:
The dignified simplicity of the services at
tending the burial of Mr.. Tilden was in re-
freshing contrast with the ostentatious
pomp which usually marks the funerals of
notable men. If it shall serve to mark
departure in the direction of greater privacy
and lessened display on such occasions, it
will have accomplished most worthy pur-
pose.
When it is considered that Samuel j.
Tilden was one OF the foremost American
statesmen, and that his career of useful
ness extended over period Of fifty years,
and no man of all the hundred illustrious
public men who went before him was de-
serving OF higher funeral honors, the un-
pretending ceremonies which closed the
chapter OF his stay on earth are in
vast contrast with the junketings
which frequently occur on the death
and burial of a Congressman, whose
right to the distinction is summed
up in few months service in Congress.
The trappings OF woe are well enough in
peoples money, it is time to call halt.
OF the thousands of public men who knew
and loved Tilden for his invaluable SER
vices to the country and mankind, who
among them would accept an invitation
to accompany the train bearing his dead
body, and on the trip drink wines and
eat costly lunches, knowing that his heirs
would foot the bill from the dead mans
money? They would all stand aghast at
the proposition, yet the majority OF them
would do these same things over the
body OF Il defunct Congressman from
Blue Jay Bend, and take care to
swell the items OF the bill SO as to
have neat sum left for pocket money.
And the sickening eulogies pronounced
over the death of Congressman are
enough to cause the corpse to turn in
spiritual agony in its coffin. Men who
are the creatures OF circumstances, and
who step into Congressional seat solely
because they outgeneralled their oppo-
nent in all that was mean and sordid in
a blackguard campaign, are held up to
their fellows, by the very men who knew
them best, as patterns OF human perfec-
ton, and over their graves is told:
mot what they were
But what they should have been"
All this should be stopped short, and
for the good name OF the nation, some
more truthful :and appropriate methods
should be used to testify the respect OF
Congress for the memory of a fellow
member, which would not lead to the ex-
penditure OF the public funds for the pur-
poses OF iunketing around the country,
and the loading OF the Congressional
Record with pages OF fulsome and hypo-
critical twaddle on virtues the deceased
never assumed to practice in life. A
good lesson to this effect can be learned
from the simple ceremonies attending
the burial OF Samuel j. Tilden.

Duluth, watertown g. Pacific R'y.


Daily Huronite, Saturday; Arailroad
meeting of great Importance to Beadle
county and Huron will be Eeld in JEFF
fris hall next Monday night. 1t is
called to consider proposition of Pre-
sident Mcintyre of the above named
company, who is inclined to bring this
line to our city.
The proposition is this: TO give this
company $4,000 in cash when the road
is built here; and to give it the right
of way through the county, except for
five miles this side of Alpana; also de-
pot grounds.
The route OF the proposed road runs
from the Minnesota line in Grant coun-
ty through Watertown, Huron, Alpena,
Washington Springs, and White Lake
to the north line of Charles Mix coun-
ty on the Missouri.
We have seen the surveyors maps of
this route, made under the eye of a
competent engineer. BY it the dis
tance is less than siXty-eight miles
from Huron to Wateftown, and it runs
so near straight that it is not three
miles longer than ah air line.
Its maximum grade does not exceed
SO feet in a mile--less than l in 100
The steepest grade is less than the
maximum. A chief object in fixing
the line was to make it as nearly
straight as possible, and to avoid fills
and cuts wherever possible. There
isn't a cut of any depth Oh the whole
line; and there are only few deeI
fills. For this reason 1t is just the route
for Dakota winters-the snow viii
never block it's trains.
In passing through thu Wessingtol
Hills, a gorge was found which is jus
sufficient for the roadway, yet easy O
ascent.
The benefits to accrue by a connec
tion with Duluth need not be enlarged
upon. BY this roa6 Duluth will be d!
near to us as is Winona. And the Mis-
sissippi river-from which will come
fuel and building materials no far
ther away from us than Sleepy Eye.
1t wont cost the citizens Of Beadlt
county one dollar apiece to get thi:
road The b., G. & n. r. r. demands
$50 600 to run spur Of their line into
Sioux Falls; Yankton gave $4,000 tt
get the G. s. n. w; Huron once offer
ed $4,000 for dozen miles of the Mil
; Waukee; 100000 for the capital Of Da
lxota; $s25,OOO for q Methodist college
She can certainly afford to do her par
in getting Duluth connection.
President Mcintyre is q man of In
domitable energy, and his road will b.
built somewhere. He is devoting hi
whole attention to it, and if we NEE
his figures will get the road in a few
months. The funds for its conStruc
tion are practically assured. 1t nov
devolves on our citizens to say wha
response they will give to this impor
tant question.

Overruling Sparks,

Washington, Jan. 17.-Assistant Sec
retary jerks, of the interior depart
ment, has conceded several points to
the aggrieved Northwestern settlers,
and it seems probable that within a few
days the most serious of these land
troubles will be settled. Last week a
number of visits were made to the in
terror department. by Senator Edgerton
and Gov. Mellette, of Dakota, as indi-
Gated in these dispatches, for the pur-
pose of securing some kind of imme-
diate relief for the settlers whose pat
ents to lands cannot issue on account
OF recent orders from the general land
Office, and who cannot borrow money
upon their realty, because its title has
been putin jeopardy. Said Senator Ed
gerton tonight:
think Mr. jerks will concede to
about all Of the material demands of
the settlers. He is = fair-minded Off
Ger, and all the Dakota delegation have
the utmost faith in him, and also in
Secretary Lamar. Mr.. jerks informed
Gov. Mellette and me yesterday that
he would do all he could for the relief
of the distressed settlers. He will hold
in his rulings hereafter that fraud
must be shown in proving up before an
entry will be cancelled. Also when no.
tice is given of a suspended entry the
parties may appear before the local
land office and a suspension and notice
of suspension shall operate the same
as a rule in court to show cause. All

have to do will be to present papers
