The Minnesota railroad commissions
ers have achieved Il notable triumph
in inducing the Milwaukee road to re-
duce its passenger rates to three cents
per mile. The reduction extends over
Wisconsin and Dakota rs well rs Min
nesota, and the people Of those states
have to thank our railroad com mission
ers for a grateful benefit. The reduc-
tion is only conceded after long con-
test, with whose details the public has
not been made familiar. The details
of the contest are Of less interest than
its result, which is a reduction of a'
least ~ per cent in passenger rates
throughout the whole northwest

JACK SPARROW IS DOOMED.

The City Council have adopted the
suggestion OF the DEMOCRAT and repealed
the ordinance passed in 1877 protecting
English sparrows. This is well, for
those useless birds have SO increased in
numbers as to become positive nuis-
ance. They have also driven from the
city those birds of song whose value as
insect-destroyers cannot be over-estimat.
ed, whose plumage was beautiful to look
upon, and whose warblings charmed the
ear OF saint and sinner alike.
Now that Jack Sparrow is no longer
protected by ordinance, the small boy
can put his flipper in trim and get in his
work in good shape. But ii the City
Fathers would 60 one step better, and
offer very small bounty for each hun
dred heads which the Juveniles might be
able to exhibit as trophies OF their skill
with the flipper or other instrument of
determination, the nuisance would be
abated in quicker time than by any other
means it is possible to devise. Give the
youngsters chance, and little in
centive, and they will make short work
OF the worthless sparrow.

Secretary informed the Senator no com
plants had been made.
1t is stated that Mr.. Manning defended
his action with some warmth, but the
President is represented as insisting that
in making known the fact that no charges
had been filed against these suspected
officials, the Secretary had not acted in
accordance with the policy laid down by
him and agreed upon by the Cabinet.
The report further says that when the
meeting adjourned, Mr.. Manning walked
over to the Treasury Department, fully
intent upon handing in his resignation,
and was only prevented from SO doing by
the illness that seized upon him half an
hour later.
This story is used as foundation for the
report that Secretary Manning will tender
his resignation 10 the President immedi-
ately upon his recovery. In well-posted
political circles, however, the story is
regarded as fabrication out of whole
cloth, and it is confidently asserted that
as soon as his health will permit, Mr..
Manning will again be found in harness
at the head of the Treasury Department.

tory. There have been Republican
Governors, Judges and other Off
cials who have succumbed to
Mormon pressure or Establishment, and
in more than one instance, it is strongly
suspected, to Mormon gold. It was cur
rently reported, and doubtless, truthfully,
that one Governor, before he bad been
here six months, had experienced the
lubricating process in the Endowment
House, and it is charged that even to the
present day he buttons his neither under
garment around his neck. Ii the Demo-
cratic showing for the next twcnty-four
years does not average higher in this
Territory than that OF the Republi-
can in the same length of time in the
past, we will acknowledge the necessity OF
a change, and cheerfully recommend the
election of Republican President in
1904 and the bouncing OF all Democratic
Territorial officials in Utah.

ATHWART LOGAN'S HAWSE.

In the Senate yesterday afternoon Cen
eral Logan's pet measure, the army eff
cheney bill, was pressed to final vote, and
met the fate which the DEMOCRAT felt
sure awaited it-defeat by an overwhelm-
ing majority, Democrats and Repub-
licans combining forces to effectually
knock it on the head.
This bill disposed of, the Illinois war
rior will now have leisure to look over
the political waste and reach conclusion
as to the forces working against him in
the race for the Presidential nomination.
While il is everywhere acknowledged
that no necessity can be urged at
the present time for any increase
in the number of enlisted men
in the army, it is still widely
asserted and generally believed that
Senator Teller was moved to lead the
Republican opposition to this measure
mainly because OF desire to please and
help Mr. Blaine and to irrtate and get
athwart the hawse Of the Senator from
LIMOS, ana IL Is not lmproDaDle tnat the
latter's championship OF Dement'S con-
firmation also entered into the considera-
ton. A close survey OF the situation will
probably reveal to Logan the fact that
Blaine has got his political anchor ready
to trip and is preparing to sail in for
the Republican Presidential nomination.
This being so, it is clear that Blaine's
friends in the Senate will never miss an
opportunity, like the one of yesterday,
to take the wind out OF the sails OF the Illi-
nois aspirant and leave him badly TO lee
ward in the race, if they can.
The fight will be an interesting one to
watch, and if Logan doesn't get badly
left, it will evidently be no fault OF either
Teller or Blaine.

LEVEL HEADED PRESIDENT.

President Clevelands expression of
the belief that no State east OF the Mis-
sissippi would stand the Mormon pro-
ceedngs month without civil war,
ought to satisfy the most suspicious Gen
tile in regard TO his position upon the
Utah question. Anything which would
cause such an uprising in the Conserya-
tive States in the East ought certainly to
be efiectually and summarily squelched in
any portion OF the Nation, and the Presi-
dent would never had made such an ad-
mission were it not his determination to-
exert to its fullest extent his executive
power to eradicate the existing evils. 1t
is evident that the loyal people OF Utah
have staunch friend in the head of the
Nation, and that the tenure of Office of
any Federal appointee who truckles to
the Mormons, will be abruptly abbre.
waited.

NEVADA POLITICS.

The indications are favorable for
booming campaign next fall in our neigh
boring State of Nevada. Hon. II. NJ.
Daggett has returned to the State, and it
is reported that he has abandoned his
Senatorial aspirations and will assume
editorial charge OF the Virginia Enterprise.
That means that he is committed to the
interest of W. NJ. Stewart, rs the pro-
prietors of that paper are among the
latter's most prominent hackers. The
arrangement by which Mr.. Daggett is
induced to withdraw is unknown, but it
was doubtless satisfactory to him as well
as to all others concerned. Mr.. Stewart
will also be supported by the Central
Pacific as well as by the other railroad
companies generally Throughout the
State. He is not, however, without op
position in his own party. G. C.. Powning,
OF Washoe, is Il pronounced and active
candidate, and is liable to become ex-
ceedingly troublesome before the closing
OF the campaign. He is active and
perscverng, and has already accumu-
lated considerable strength in the
Western portion of the State, and is
almost certain TO secure n unanimous
Legislative delegation from his own
county. Ex-Congressman Wren is also
in the field and announces his intention
OF remaining there until the closing of
the Republican caucus, unless his party
is showed under at the election. His is a
strongly Republican county and he will
doubtless secure the entire delegation,
and also other representatives in the east
ern part of the State. The probabilities
are, however, if the Republicans carry
the Legislature, that Mr.. Stewart will
have votes enough in caucus to insure
his nomination and consequently his
election. The Democrats will doubt
less unite upon Senator Fair,
who is generally understood to
be candidate for reelection. He is
is the only Democrat, apparently. who
has reasonable chance for election, and
while there are prominent members of
his party who would doubtless prefer
some other man, it is conceded that his
candidacy will greatly enhance the
chances OF success for the candidates on
the Democratic State and county tickets
He has, moreover, made good general
and political record in the Senate, and
has been particularly Industrious and ac-
tive concerning the local interests of his
State. Present appearances indicate
the denomination OF j. w. Adams, the
present incumbent, for Governor. He is
exceedingly popular and has always polled
a heavy vote outside of his party. Hon.
George w. Cassidy will doubtless be
nominated for Congress. Although de-
feated for variety OF causes at the last
election, they will not exist this year and
he will in all probability be elected by a
handsome majority. Judge C. II. Bel
knap is not likely to have any opposition
for the nomination for Supreme Judge.
Heis the strongest man for the position
in his party and will as heretofore carry
the solid Democratic vote besides receiv-
ing considerable support from the other
side. The present outlook is certainly
most favorable for a sweeping Democratic
victory in Nevada this Fall.

A VERY THIN STORY.

The Washington correspondent OF the
New York Tribune says there is talk that
the Cabinet meeting which preceded
Secretary Mannings attack OF apoplexy
was an unusually stormy one, and that
MIR, Manning was severely criticised, not
only by the President, but also by a
majority OF his colleagues, for having
yielded too readily to the Establishments

papers relating to the suspended collect
ors OF internal revenue, against whose
moral characters or official records the

The appointment OF General McCler-
nand upon the Utah Commission will be
as acceptable to the Genties here as
would be that OF any nonresident OF the
Territory Judge Rosborough would
have been preferred over all others for
the position, and had it been left to the
local, loyal element, he would have been
almost unanimously endorsed by it. Gen.
McClernand has an excellent military.
personal and political record. He pos.
sesses great firmness OF purpose, clear
Judgment and integrity beyond the shad-
ow OF question. These qualifications are
all that are needed for they will enable him
to grasp the situation here, and inspire
him to act in accordance with the letter
and spirit OF the law-which is all the
Gentiles could ask or the Mormons have
cause to dread.

OPEN EXECUTIVE SESSIONS.

The proposition to consider the Presi-
dents nominations in open Senate seems
to be daily gaining ground, and the pros
poets are that before adjournment some-
thing will be done to remove this un-
popular feature OF the proceedings in the
upper house. The recent discussion
upon the Edmunds resolutions developed
the fact that numerous Democratic Sem
ators are in favor OF the proposition, among
whom may be named Messrs. Voorhees,,
Beck, Maxey, Butler and Coke, while
or the other side OF the Chamber Messrs.
Harrison, Van Wyck, Plat, Allison,
Dolph, sherman, Pike, Logan, Frye,
Mitchell of Oregon, Rddleberger, Gull
lom, Hale, Morrill,, Teller, Edmunds and
Plumb have expressed themselves, some
oil them GGstGRipiIaticany, as in favor OF
change, though all OF the gentlemen
named are not quite clear that the rule
should be made universal.
There are now pending in the Senate
two resolutions-one introduced by Mr..
Platt, allowing open executive sessions
except when the Senate shall deem it
inadyisable, and the other by Mr., Logan,
for open sessions during the considera-
tion OF nominations, 1t is quite probable
that vote will be taken this week upon
MIR. Platts resolution, and judging from
the number OF Senators who have pro-
nounced in favor OF change, it is not
unreasonable to expect that it will be
adopted
