LORNE ON AMERICANS.

AT this late day, when the sting OF de-
feat is eating into the hopes OF Irishmen
all over the world, Lord Lorne, otherwise
the Duke OF Argyle, comes upon the
scene with letter to the London Times,
which stamps him as one of the hidden
forces that tended toward the downfall OF
Home Rule. His Lordship never opened
his mouth through all these years OF agi-
tation and months OF fearful struggle,
but worked clandestinely with might and
main for the cause OF the aristocracy or
classes, and now that he sees the defeat
OF the people he feels at liberty to air his
views and tell to the world what he
knows OF the subject. After class
ing Irishmen and Americans as
ignoramusses by charging them
with looking upon Ireland in her
relations with England, as State OF this
Government in relation to the whole
country, and attrbuting the generosity of
Americans to that fact, he winds up by
appealing to Americans to understand
that the Unionists opposed Gladstone
solely for Ireland's sake. If the latter
statement came from any source OF power
or statesmanlike ability, it would be
classed as specious and plausible, but
coming, as it does, from an overgrown
boy, who is so deeply bound in the
meshes OF prejudice as Lorne is, it eX
oil a 81. L.,
cause it is Il palpable falschood, and
wonder that one even SO notoriously in
competent as he is, should think the peo-
pie OF America are not competent to pass
upon Irish affairs as well as he. Ameri-
cans saw some of the Dukes peculiar
preaching put in practice dur
ing his incumbency OF the Governor
Generals chair OF Canada, and they
remember with keen sense OF relief
that the home government found it
necessary to call him off before serious
handle Irish affairs from an English
standpoint, but quite another to handle
colonial affairs where they interfere with
the interests OF the United States. Lord
Lorne is the lineal descendant of the
Arygles through centuries, and they have
ever been known as the bitter enemies
OF lrishmen and staunch adherents of the
aristocratic government OF England, so
the etfusion he writes is not unbecoming
in him as peer and son-in-law OF the
Queen, but in man who bids for
notoriety on fight made without his
help or voice in the field, it certainly
smacks OF bombast and patronizing air
peculiarly offensive to Americans.

ago by the orders OF the Church leaders,
in the insult to the Nation and its flag by
half-masting the latter in depreciation Of
the birth OF the former. This fact has
been SO apparent from every Mormon Off
cial act, the tone of their press and the
words and acts Of the rank and
file OF the reasonable and law-defying
organization since that time, that it
needed no such proof as was furnished
by the Church's lesser organ in its article
on the morning of the 9th TO convince
the most credulous or charitable that the
outrage was still unrepented OF by its
perpetrators, or that nothing but their
fears prevented its repetition this
year The DEMocRAT was content
that this fact should be proclaimed
by the Mormon paper and did not regard
only reiteration OF its views upon the
subject as expressed in its columns dur
ing the last twelve months. That the
ex-Confederates who took part in the
celebration at Liberty Park need any de-
tense from Mormon slander, strikes us as
absurd. The men who, in open warfare,
opposed the United States Government
upon a mistaken principle, but when
defeated returned TO their allegiance and
have since obeyed and assisted in main
tanning the laws, cannot be injured by
any reflections from the mouthpicce
OF an organization W hich seeks to con-
duct its treason under the protection of
the government which it hates, and
which it is doing its best TO destroy.
There are not five per cent. OF the people
who took mp arms against the National
flag during the rebellion, who would not
those who are physically able-defend
it with their lives to-day. There are not
five per cent. of the Mormon people who
would motif they had the power-dc-
stroy the National Government and erect
upon its ruins theocracy such as now
controls the local affairs OF this priest
ridden Territory. This is the difference
in the present attitude OF the two classes.
The former can well afford to treat with
contemptuous silence all reflections upon
their past and present positions, by the
latter.

TIE HEROIC TREATMENT.

The filthy miscreant Downs, of Boston,
who disgraces the Christian faith by his
connection with the Church, is again in
trouble. The DEMOCRAT has neither the
inclination nor the space to devote to this
unclean rogue's showing up, but desires
10 speak a few words to those OF its read
crs who are given to the sanctification OF
all and any men who have donned the
livery OF the Lord and use its sacred folds
TO conceal turpitude deeper and darker
than that OF Satan. In the past twenty
years the Protestant Church has been
called upon to act in the cases OF three OF
the most eloquent and able ministers in
all this great country, namely: Beecher,
Adirondack" Murray, and now, Downs.
All OF these men were the cause OF ruin
ing sacred family ties and heaping shame
and degradation on innocent children.
In all OF these cases, misguided people
have flocked to the defense OF the pas
tors, and have hedged these men about
with halo OF goodne IS, to such an ex-
tent that public opinion has halted, and
in legal sense all OF them have gone
free OF punishment. Either these men
were guilty OF the most heinous offenses
or they were not. Until now, none of
them have been tried for criminal Of
tense, and hence, could not be proven
guilty, but their trail is over all with
which they came in contact, and hum
dreds OF the best families in the land, the
outgrowth Of centuries OF Christian man
hood and womanhood, have turned their
backs on the ministrations OF these men,
and refused to acknowledge them as
ministers OF the Gospel. In the face OF
this fact, Il certain following hangs to
them, many people arguing that for the
sake of religion in general, it is better to
cover up these social scandals, and move

time and forgetfulness to wipe out the
stain. Would il not be better to treat
these men in heroic sense? To be
cruel only to be kind TO others? To lop
off the tainted branches and save the
tree, rather than befoul the whole world
OF religious worship? These men are

and untruthful remarks made about the er,

was displayed. am considerably surprised,

celebration, that neither of the Gentle
papers of this city took up the cudgels
for US, by answering the falsehoods in the
who fought on the Confederate side during
the war, and who got up that portion of the
demonstration at Liberty Park, are as loyal

was nothing in their conduct that day, nor
in the notices on their tent which did not
meet the approval of every true American
who attended the celebration, so far as
they heard, and ii seems strange to some of

The Copper situation.

The copper market, after its long period of waiting, has evidently started up again, and the start naturally comes from the other side os the water. The English men having "scooped" all the Lake copper they could during several months past, and lately having cleaned the Anaconda and other Montana mines of their en- tire product till the fall months of 1887, have apparently got the en- tire market Tn their control. The fact that copper has advanced f6 in ten days shows clearly what they can do if they see fit to exer- else their power. It is an open secret that the Lake companies have less copper unsold at this time than for four years past, and any increased demand for Lake copper will certainly advance the price largely and rapidly. It is a known fact that. manufacturers and consumers are short of copper, having been buying from hand to mouth, and many of them have anticipated and paid for their December deliveries. Consequent ly there is every reason to antici- pate a healthy and considerable advance in the market for lngot copper.
 Franklin advanced to 10a on small sales. There is very little of this stock floating, and any de- mand would at once advance the price. Huron is under the same management, and has lately shown a decided improvement under ground and promises we'll for the future. One dollar is bid, none offered; and it seems as if 1t should largely advance ere long.-Boston Post.
 THE subject of natural gas as a fuel is attracting much attention in Indiana, and from the richness of the State in coal measures the opinion prevails that gas exists underneath its surface. This news is confirmed by the statements of Prof. John Collett, State Geologist for some years, and the best au- thority in the State on the matter.

The seats all have high backs, and one reluctantly rises after having tested them. In short, the car combines everything of luxury and comfort in railroad travel.
 The palace car was for the high muck-a muck himself, but there were others for the accommoba- tion of his staff, ly-timber provender, cook. barber and valet.

The car that Sheridan travelled

The car that Sheridan travelled in from Washington to Fort Bow1e, Arizona, and returned, is thus de- scribed: It was divided into sec tions, with drawing-room and smoking-room. It has a system of electric calls by which the porter may be summoned to any part of the car at any time. The body of the car is upholstered in old gold and finished in natural woods. The berth fronts are deep- ly faced with embossed plush, as is also the head lining of the car. The drawing room is upholstered in pea-green, and has quite num- Der of improvements over the old style of car. The smoking-room is finished in oak and leather, and the lavatories are as complete as is possible for them to be made. The buffet is situated between the smoking-room and the body of the car, and the array of china would excite the covetousness of any housekeeper. The mirrors iu the

But there was more gold, and redder gold, and maybe better gold, in Australia in 1852 than there has been Tn any other part of the world, before or since. And there was more fun in gettin' the gold than you. could shake a stick at.
 ''The harbors of Melbourne and Sydney were crowded with ships that couldn't get away, because their crews had deserted them and run off to the diggin's; and the towns were crowded with the sail ors, and lots of others, too, comin' back with their pockets full-for nobody seemed at that time to be tryin' to make a fortune and go home. All they wanted to do was to raise enough money for a good spree in one of the towns; and their notions of what spree meant would, I think, have aston ished Californian. X dozen times I've seen fellow walk into liquor saloon with a crowd behind him, call for drinks for all the rest, and issue a special order for dozen of champagne and a tub for himself. Selfish? Oh, no; there was nothing selfish about it. He merely poured the champagne into the tub, pulled off his shoes and stockings and washed his feet in it. Of course he was crazy; but doesn't gold make nine out of ten men crazy, whether they dig it out of the earth or get 1t in Wall street?
 ''Everything had to be paid for in gold dust, and every bar had weights and scales to test the value of the dust, which was then cur rent coin. For what a miner then paid for an ordinary round of drinks he could now buy a heavy gold ring, but such ring then would have been of small value in Australia compared with the worth of a pint of whisky. The eccen- tricites of successful miners com ing to the cities to spend their gains extended to their clothing. Almost all of them were fond of tall silk hats, but their tastes va ried as to the part of the hat that was most becoming, some pre- ferring the top and some the bot tom, and a common sight was a man walking in the crowded street wearing the highly polished crown of silk hat, followed or accompa- nied or preceded by a man whose head showed itself above the low walls encircling the rim that had thus been cut off from the upper portion of the hat.
 Elaborate weddings took place every day. As often as not the bride and bridegroom sat together on the drivers seat of a furniture van, both drunk, and still drink ing health and long life to the crowd that was cheering them on their way, and exchaning jokes with the long procession that rode or drove after the happy couple. I don't know whether such we'd ding resulted we'll or not, but they were celebrated very often"

The Story of a Kiss.

Ahc StOry OI u IAlSSs
 A New York Fifth avenue belle went to the theatre. On returning home after the performance she discovered that her breastpin, which was quite valuable, had been stolen. She was very sorry, for the breastpin was a present. A few days afterwards the young lady received the following letter
 "The writer of these lines has the honor to inform you that he knows where your breastpin is. and will return it cheerfully under certain conditions.
 ''I do not expect to receive a re- ward in money, since I regard il as exceedingly vulgar to accept money from a lady whom I ldolize as much as I do you. On the other hand, it would be very stupid in me to return you your breastpln without getting some equivalent.
 Taking into consideration my consuming love for you, I'll return the missing ornament for a single kiss from your rosy lips.
 Tomorrow morning I will be at the corner of Madison avenue and Fifty-sixth street with the missing jewelry. If you are willing to pay my price I will, after pressing a kiss on the aforesaid lips, press the breastpin in your hand. No questions asked" (Signed.) J One of Your Admirers.
 The young lady did not know what to do. She wanted the breast pin back, but she did not care to pay the price. She hit upon the idea of sending her servant girl in her place.
 The servant girl put Tn an ap- pearance at the appointed hour and place. She was heavily yelled. A well dressed gentleman ap- preached and asked:
 Do you accept the terms!"
 'I do."
 The stranger familiarly en- braced her on the European plan and simultaneously imprinted a large 3x7 kiss on her mouth that caused the policeman on the cor her to start. He thought 1t was a pistol shot.
 Here's what I promised" he remarked after the formality had been complied with; ''but," he added, you will find it, like the kiss, not quite what it was repre- sented to be, as you are only the servant, not the mlstress," handing her something wrapped up in paper.
 After he hsd retired, which he did immediately, the servant ex- amined the paper and found that it contained only small piece of wood

GAME.

While it is true that the last Demo-
cratic Territorial Convention adopted a
ringing resolution repudiating Mr.. Gaines
claim TO membership in the Democratic
party and asserting the fact that no man
under the political control OF the Mormon
Church theocracy could be Il Democrat,
it is also true that since that time Mr..
Caine has been appointed member Of
the Congressional Committee ior this
Territory, position which he holds at
the present. time. 1t is true that
it was not by the wish or ap-
proval OF Il single Utah Democrat
that he was placed there, but
he is there, all the same, and is running
as the Mormon candidate for Congress,
with his certificate as member of a
National Democratic Committee in his
pocket. Ii he is permitted to do this
without official protest from the Demo
cratic party Of Utah, he will return to
Washington and claim recognition as the
duly elected Democratic Congressional
Delegate from this Territory claim
which non-action OF the party here will
give at least the semblance OF legitimacy.
We know that this would be gall and
wormwood to all true Democrats in Utah y,
and that they only need an opportunity
to express their feelings upon the
matter to show to the people OF other
sections that there is not and never can
be any afliliation between Utah Democ-
racy and Mormonism, even if a repre-
sentative of the latter is thrust upon them
rs their member OF Democratic Com
mittee. We are certain that we speak
within bounds when we assert that at
least nineteen-twentieths OF the Demo-
Gratis in Utah are in favor OF
taking such action as will relieve
them of the odiilm OF any apparent
sympathy and connection between
them and the elements which will alone
support Elder Caine at the polls. 1t has
been suggested by large number of
Democrats, if no other means are avail
able, that mass meeting be called for
the purpose of expressing the sentiment
OF the party upon the subject. The cas-
lest and most direct method, however,
would be through convention called by
the Territorial Committee, which it is to
be hoped will be the course adopted.
