"THE CHINESE MUST GO"

All over the Pacific Coast is being de-
veloped most hostile feeling toward the
Chinese. In the States of California,
Oregon and Nevada, and in the Territor-
les of Washington, Idaho, Montana and
Wyoming, the cry is heard-'sThe Chi
nese must go!0 And that cry must be
needed, too, else will there be such
scenes of violence and bloodshed as have
not been witnessed in this country since
the close of the war
Time has proven that the Government
made great mistake in opening our
ports to unlimited immigration of China
men. This being SO, it is now the inn
perative duty of the Government to
remedy the evil at once, and in the best
possible manner it can. No halfway
measures will suffice; the evil must be
effectually cured, even though the means
resorted to entail rupture of our COM
mercial relations with China. So press
ing is the demand for relief, and with so
much aversion is the presence of China
men regarded on this coast, that the sim
pie prohibition Of Chinese immigration in
the future will not suffice; the demand
Tor relief has grown louder and louder
every year, until now, nothing short of
the retirement of all Mongols from this
coast will satisfy the white labor ele-
ment
The Chinese evil is not understood in
the East as it is in the West, hence
good deal of maudlin sentiment is in
dulged in by Eastern journals when treat
ing on the subject. But talk as they
may, on this Coast the fiat has gone
forth, and the sooner the Mongols make
their way to the Eastern States or back
to China, the better will it be for them
and the localities now afflicted by their
presence. Ii the people of the East de-
sire to hug the little brown man to their
highly sympathetic bosoms, the people
OF this Coast will offer no objections. |
John must leave the Pacific Coast, if not |
the country, but his exodus should not
be characterized by either arson or muir
der, as has heretofore been too freouentlv
the case.

THE OUTLOOK FOR SILVER.

The whole country seems to be agog on
the silver question, and it is now pretty
definitely settled that no Congressional
Legislation OF a hostile nature against the
white metal is possible at the present ses-
sion. Telegrams from Washington state
that by vote of to 5, the House Com
mittee on Coinage, Weights and Mea-
sures yesterday reported back adversely
Mr.. BANDS bill for unlimited coinage of
silver dollars. The friends of silver
doubtless looked for such action on the
part of the committee, and few have any
hope that the measure will receive favor
able consideration in the House. But one
thing clearly appears in this connection,
and that is, while it may not be possible
at the present time to secure the passage
OF a bill providing for unlimited coinage
of silver, it will be impossible for any
measure to get through the House that
has for its object the suspension of silver
coinage.
We notice, too, that several European
and Asiatic nations now laboring under
the evils which single standard has
brought upon them, are anxious to enter
into such negotiations as will enable
them to increase their circulations by re-
sorting TO the double standard system.
This naturally causes much uneasiness
Salt Lake evening Democrat. [volume] (Salt Lake City, Utah) 1885-1887, 1886-02-17

in the ranks of the mono-metallists,
whose sole object is and has been, for their
own personal gain, to keep down the
volume of the monetary cireulations of
their respective countries, the better that
they could count upon greater demand
for their boarded wealth.
Even China and Japan, SO the tele-
graph tells us, now favor the adoption of
double standard China's monetary
system is based on silver, but Japan has
clung to gold. In the light of present
developments, it is clear that no country
can prosper under the single standard
system. And as the gold product of the
world is year by year growing beautifully
smaller and smaller, what alternative is
there, except to use silver.
The outlook for the white metal is
brighter to-day than it has been for
many year.

BEWARE OF THEM !,

Salt Lake City has long been the para
disc OF charlatans who, advertising them
selves as skilled members of the medical
profession, have proved upon the pockets
OF too credulous public and sent many
poor creature prematurely down to
death. This fact has been repeatedly
brought to the attention of the Legisla-
tive Assemblies, but up to date nothing
In the way of measure calculated to
protect the public from the raids and
wiles OF these unprincipled quacks, has
been thought worthy of consideration.
The single fact that these frauds are
travelling doctors, " is ample evidence of
their incapacity and unreliability. They
come here, heralded by the local prints
(in paid advertisements, of course) as
eminent surgeons and physicians who
are in possession of wonderful secret
remedies for all the ills which flesh is
heir to, and the public are often gulled
into believing that they really do know
something OF that which they profess so
much knowledge of.
People should beware of persons who
advertise "secret remedies" This fact
alone is ample evidence of their unrelia-
bllity, for no honorable member of the
profession will withhold from the public
any means which he knows to be of real
utility in relieving human suffering. Such
a course is contrary to the accepted code
OF ethics of the medical profession; and
any member who violates not only the |
code of ethics but every principle of phil
and morality, is in SO doing at
once ostracised from the society of reput-
able physicians as a man unfit to bear
the grave responsibilities of the physician,
and unworthy of the confidence of his

THE WRITING ON THE WALL.

versation with a DEMOCRAT reporter OF
Saturday last, eve intend to arrest al
these indicted men, or to drive them out
of the country" The vigorous manner
in which this officer, aided by his depu-
ties, is going about the work outlined
above, conclusively shows that in utter.
ing the words quoted, no empty boast
was made. 1t is also apparent that in
carrying out to the end the programme
announced, Marshal Ireland will have
all the business he can attend to, aided
though he be by deputies who are inde-
fatigable workers, and who possess all
the other qualities most needed in men
engaged in that particular line of busi-
ness.
The work of indicting, arresting and
Furnishing parties gully of offenses under
the Edmunds act has been going on quite
actively for eighteen months past, and
to-day the criminal dockets show that, at
the present and forthcoming terms, the
time of The three district courts will be
largely monopolized in the disposition of
this class of cases. At the pres
ent term of the Third District
Court, it is calculated that
over thirty convictions will be had, and
if that number is not reached it will be
no fault of the officers engaged in the
work OF prosecution. In the other two
districts correspondingly large numbers
of convictions will doubtless be had from
this time forward. With this showing
before them, and with the prospect of adj
ditional legislation by Congress which, in
effect, will disfranchise every adherent of
the Mormon Church, in or out OF polyg-
amy, how can the thinking portion of the
community here avoid reaching the con-
clusion, so apparent to all outside the
pale of the church, that the Government
has finally and in dead earnest settled
down to the business of working much
needed reformation in Utah social affairs.
The handwriting is on the wall, and all |
who feel disposed may read and under
stand it.
And yet, where can be observed the
irst sign OF relentment, the first symptom

erring people to cease their continuance

THE CANNON CASE.

Times without number George @. Can
non, the man whose arrest for violations
of the Edmunds law has created such g
hubbub and excitement throughout this
Territory for the past three or four days
has exhorted the people who looked
up to him as sheep look up tc
their shepherd, ''to live their religion -
and let the consequence follow. !"
To Give their religion" in the sense
meant by this man, implied violation
of the laws of the land; but what did
that matter, since The assurance was
given that the Lord SO willed it, and the
Lord would protect this people in living
up to their privileges?
The events of the past three or four
days must have created at least doubt
in the minds of the more intelligent ad-
herents Of the Church as to Cannon's
sincerity in what he taught and preached.
One thing is certain, he, more than any
other man now living, whether sincere or
hiciuCCiC III HIS f'iolcSolOuSJ iS IcSpOilSIDlS
for the great trouble which has
fallen upon the people of Utah, and
when his own turn came to face the
music, he skulked away and sought to
avoid the consequences. 1t is hard to
believe that man who honestly held
himself to be Gods mouth-piece, official
or semi-official, would or could be guilty |
of such conduct
Mr.. Cannon is now in the tolls OF the
law, and, like other but less guilty men,
will doubtless be made to realize what it |
is to break the laws of God as revealed |
through the Congress of the United |
States-for they are Gods laws,
though enacted by man. What
ever tends to degrade men, to
make men more gloomy, to waken in
them their passions, is against the will of
God; whatever promotes the welfare of
men, and is found to prove everywhere
and always beneficial, has the signet of
God stamping it as right.
Mr.. Cannon is held, in bonds of $45,-
600, to answer for his acts. He is en-
titled to a speedy and fair trial, and no
body's prejudices, on the one side or the
other, against him personally or the Or
ganization he represents, should be al
lowed to come between him and Justice.
We believe he will be justly dealt by,
and that will be sufficient.

clared the match draw, the fight, how
ever, when it was stopped was very
much in favor of Smith.

removed from him.
Such a life as his, admirable in its pure I'm.
