Cape Horn, for the heinons crime
OF wearing an oil skin jacket
while reefing top-sails in violent
snow storm. 1t was shown that he had in
scores OF instances inflicted the most in
human punishment for the slightest Of
lenses, and that a perfect system OF
quarter deck brutality prevailed during
the entire voyage. An old boatswain
while giving his testimony, said it almost
made him doubt the existence OF God,
when men were so treated without their
tyrant being stricken with death. For
all this the scoundrel only received 4
sentence of four months Imprisonment,
which il appears has been shortened by
executive Intervention. 1t is reported that
this result was due to Senatorial petit
ton worked up by the Senators from
Maine, where some influential relatives
OF the fellow reside. The President has
evidently been grossly imposed upon,
and it is to be hoped that the facts OF the
case will he presented to him, that he
may in the future give proper weight TO
the representations OF Senators, who will
exercise their influence in behalf OF q
monster who richly deserved TO be strung
up to the yard arm by the victims Of his
inhumanity.

ternecine quarrel, which it is needless to
say would be mutually hurtful,
IF NOT LARGELY SUICIDAL"
"What is the object OF the conference ?''
"As understand it, the object pro-
posed is trades union conference, and
as distinctly stated in the call, il is to de.
wise plan for q labor alliance and to
submit the same to the general officers
OF the Knights OF Labor for their adop-
ton. 1t is hoped that in this way both
Orders can enter into reciprocal agree
ment or understanding TO work together
in parallel lines without any collision or
antagonism and without encroaching on
each others legitimate work. For want
OF this, difficulties have cropped up in q
number OF instances, and unless some
thing is done, there is every likelihood OF
their occurrence in the future. There is
a certain raw, impatient, and inexperi-
enced element that has recently floated
into this labor movement. This element
is hostile to the patient, constructive, con.
servative methods OF the trades unions,
and as is said in the call for the trades
union conference, under the cover of
Knights OF Labor, and as far as we can
learn, without authority from that body,
THIS ELEMENT PURsUEs IT'S EVIL WORK ;
Now, it is with view to checking this
otrIe-breeding, anarchy element, and to
arrive at u harmonious understanding
with the Knights OF Labor, that the call
is issued. Between the knights OF Labor
and the trades unions we desire to estab.
lish the closest terms OF fraternity, and a
complete solidity OF interests; and in this

RIGHTS OF CONGRESS.

One oi the Mormon papers says:
"While Congress can by brute force
destroy Republican government in
Utah and order the disfranchisement, or
even slaughter OF her people, Congress
has no moral or constitutional right to do
either" The Mormon paper is right.
Congress has no moral or Constitutional
right to do any OF those things. 1t has,
however, the right to maintain Il Repub-
lican government in Utah and to put
down all institutions assuming govern
mental control, which are conducted in
opposition to every principle of the Con-
stitution and the moral and political
theory upon which that instrument was
founded. 1t not only has the right 10 do
this, but it is its duty under the
Constitutional oath subscribed to by all
OF its members before taking their seats in
that body 1t has no right to order the
disfranchisement OF the people OF Ter
ritory, but it has the right to impose such
conditions upon the voting privilege as
will restrict it to those who are in sympa-
thy with our form OF government, and
who hold their allegiance to it paramount
to their obligations to any political insti-
tuition, whose tenets are in direct antag-
onism to the Constitution and Federal
laws. 1t has the right to require such
test, to be applied to all alike, as
will discriminate between the loyal
and disloyal elements and place
the local government in the hands
OF those who will conduct it
in harmony with the Federal power,
which is or should be supreme. Congress
has no right to order the slaughter OF the
people here, and it is its duty to protect
the officers and loyal citizens OF the Ter
ritory from slaughter by assassination
from thugs or minions OF reasonable
organization, which is doing all in its
power to prevent the enforcement OF the
Federal laws, and to continue practices
in opposition to them, Congress has the
right to do these things, and they are the
only ones they will exercise in the pas
sage OF either OF the bills before it, reat-
ing to the local affairs OF Utah.

THE RIGHT COURSE.


The Governor of Idaho has issued Il
proclamation warning the people against
the use of unlawful means to expel the
Chinese, under pain of being held re-
sponsible for such deeds, individually
and collectively. He calls upon the
sheriffs and officers OF the law TO use
every precaution TO prevent all notous
demonstration for such objects, and, If
necessary, to call on every male citizen
for assistance, recording the name OF all
who refuse, for future prosecution and
punishment. Governor Stevenson is
right, and his course will be endorsed by
all friends OF law and order, regardless of
their desire to rid the country of the
Mongolian pests. Riotous proceedings or
unlawful acts OF any kind only weaken
the anti-Chincse cause. They mislead
the people OF the East in regard to the
character OF the element opposed to
further immigration, creating the erron-
eous impression that il is confined to the
class participating in the unlawful de-
monstrations. They inspire false sympa-
thy for the Chinese, thereby retarding
such Congressional legislation as
is necessary to insure further re-
strictive measures. The unwelcome
element can only be gotten rid OF by pre-
venting further immigration, which can
only be effected by Congressional action,
and such legal measures towards those
who are here, as will render this country
an undesirable place of residence for
them. The people OF Truckee, in Cali
fornia, rid themselves of the nuisance
without resorting to any illegal measures
or acts, by process which can be as
successfully adopted in other towns sub
iected to the same infliction. The labor
organizations OF the great cities OF Cali
forna are doing good work without ex-
ceeding the limits OF the law, and with
an effective Restriction Act the number
of Chinese in that State would ere this
have been materially reduced by returns
to the Flowery Kingdom. The true
method is to render Mongolian
labor odious, and to extend
the odium to those who EN-
ploy or encourage it. The people of
the Pacific coast are almost unit upon
the general proposition and public senti-
ment, ii properly organized and directed,
will effect peaceably that which can
never be attained by resort to violent
measures. Boycotting, as general prin-
ciple, is perhaps not commendable, but
in an extreme case like this is iustifiable.
1t can be conducted strictly within the
bounds OF the law, and is certainly prefer
able to the method against which Gov
ernor Stevenson warns the people of
Idaho.

UNDER THE FLAG.

The reception OF JEFF. Davis under hun
dreds OF American flags where less than
quarter OF a century ago only the stars
and bars foated to the breeze, was evid-
ence of the strength and glory OF the
Union, as much rs it is an expression of
the local memories so fondly cherished.
The Chicago Herald in noticing the de-
monstration, says: "Mr. Davis, as the
foremost representative OF cause which
must ever be abhorred at the North, has
by force OF circumstances received more
odium than any other OF the leaders oi
the Confcderacy, but after all he was only
one of ;.many. The great veneration
shown by the people for Mr.. Davis is
natural. He was not more responsible
for the secession folly than hosts of
Others The disaster which overlook the
South was chargeable to no one man.
Davis represents cause which is affec-
tionately remembered more ior the
sacrifices made in its behalf than by
reason of any present regret at its
failure -

MISTAKEN CLEMENCY.

Gross misrepresentation must have
been made to President Cleveland, if as
is reported, he has pardoned Captain
Goodell who was convicted and sentenced
in the u. s. District Court, in San Fran
cisco a short time ago, for cruelty to sea-
men. The evidence in the case showed
the master TO be an inhuman monster,
totally unworthy oi executive clemency,
Goodell is an intensified type ol class OF
nautical ruilians who plume themselves
upon their brutality TO sailors, and
imagine that il adds TO their repntations
as commanding officers. Among the lit
tie eccentricities OF this sea monster was
the indulging in pistol practice with
sailors for targets; knocking a man down
with capstan bar and keeping him for
twenty-four hours chained to the deck,
without even blanket to protect him
from the rigor OF the Antarctic climate off

The fact that Montana is to have an
additional Judge does not argue favor
ably for her admission as a State. Utah,
or her loyal people, are not aspiring to
the honors OF Statehood, but they do
want and need another Judge worse than
her sister Territory. The DEMOCRAT sug-
gested some time ago the proposition Of
including Utah in the Montana bill,
which could be done by the insertion OF
half dozen words. Mr.. Baskin, who is
in Washington, could make such repre-
sentation OF facts as would probably re-
suit in the proposed amendment. A
petition signed by the Federal officials
and members OF the bar would doubtless,
with the aid OF Mr.. Baskin, have the de-
sired effect

times till at night. with little recess for meals

These have been alternating in the city or about

In many cases. and in other cases by means not
SO well known. AS they stand around the cor
ners or congregate in groups at the village stores,
they are serving notice on the bloated land-own-
ers or renters of farms that they expect to
work. OF course next summer--they always do
but the law makes eight hours day. and they
expect to keep the law. This is movement in
the right direction. No men have more op
pressed the people than these same farmers.
They not only themselves work twelve to fifteen
hours day but they have required their hands
to do the same. and even at that they put up
poor mouths and say that they cannot afford to
sell wheat at ninety cents and pork at four and
half and pay taxes and interest Sooner or
later they will see the folly of working twelve
to fourteen hours, and accept the theory that
eight hours is as much as any man can stand,
and if they cannot make a living at that it is the
duty of somebody to support them anyhow.
But the most significant measure suggested
by this movement is among the class of work
ingmen heretofore known as 'domestics," or
'hired help" With cruelty that cannot be too
severely censured these victims of woman's
tyranny have been required to bcstir themselves
before breakfast, and many time have been
required to wait and wash the supper dishes.
For that matter many an oppressed wife has
been the victim of these wrongs, but these two
are moving for the eight-hour regulation. It
may jostle things little before the
world gets fairly down to the eight
hour system, and then the six-hour, but
it must come Up till about now
there has prevailed notion that it required
pretty hard work. close work and work all the
time to make living and save little for a
rainy day, but the experiment is to be tried on
the eight-hour gauge. If one man can make a
living by eight hours one woman can, and then
all men and all women can. At least let US all
start together and give it fair trial. We can
at least support our government employees at
that and somebody owes everybody living
whether he works or not I am for the eight
hour regulation. U. L. SEE.
