DEFALCATIONS.

The number and magnitude OF deialca-
tions Of late are startling. Almost every
day our dispatches contain an account oil
one or more cases OF exposed theft and
ignominious flight The question natu-
rally arises, what are the causes OF this?
May not society be in some degree re-
sponsible? The desire to become sud.
denly rich is doubtless the chief cause.
Its inevitable consequence is mania for
gambling, Great fortunes cannot be
earned or acquired in day by any
legitimate methods-only by Wall street
methods, by gambling. While fortunes
made in that way are regarded legiti-
mate and their possossors are honored
as sagacous and successful business
men, startling deialcations will not be
wanting, SO long as men in private life
are honored for the fortunes they make
by gambling, and men in public life, for
fortunes made in Washington, by virtue
of their office, men, good men" enough,
will be found to brave the risks OF fail.

THE RISE IN SILVER.

The steady rise in silver from its low
state OF few months since indicates
permanent appreciation OF the white
metal The New York Sun truly says
that: "The silver dollar is here to stay
All the dollars coined up to this time and
all that will be coined for the next five
years merely replace 4 corresponding
amount of retired bank notes, and thus
preserve the country from contraction
OF the currency. The prophecies OF tinan-
cial disaster which were so confidentially
made at the beginning OF 1885 have
proved to be, as we said they would, of
no more value than Mr.. Virgins predic-
ton OF storms and earthquakes"
1t has been contest between an or
ganized conspiracy on the part OF inf1u-
ential capitalists and bankers in England,
Germany and this country, and the less
influential and more numerous upholders
of silver money everywhere; the ques-
gle gold standard The necessities OF the
growing commerce OF the world and the
immense losses already suffered through
the efforts OF the gold conspirators
are opening the eyes OF the peo-
Piles and of governments to the
absolute necessity OF retaining silver
in its world-old equality with gold as
current money among the nations. Sill
yer is recoving its lost ground. The
crisis is past, the gold conspirators are
talking OF compromises and in this
country silver is bound to hold its
equal place with gold in fixing the
standard OF value, or ii single standard
OF value is to be established it will be
silver rather than gold.
The contest has been Il costly one but
is in a fair way for Il speedy settlement
The upward tendency OF silver points in
the direction OF the basis upon which
such final settlement will be effected

BETTER COMMENCE At HOME.

In his Pennsylvania speeches, Mr.
Blaine painted blood-curdling picture
of the supposed wrongs, outrages ana
crimes perpetrated upon the colored peo-
pie in the South, and especially upon
their being buldozed into voting the
Democratic ticket. He was also deeply
panied at tile social ostracism OF the
black race in that benighted region, their
being debaTed from privileges TO which
they were rightfully entitled, etc. Gov
ernor Hill, in his admirable Philadelphia
speech, pertinently inquired why Mr..
Blaine did not stop in Rhode Island on
his way to Pennsylvania and ask his
friends there "why they did not strike
from the laws and Constitution of that
little, narrow, bigoted Republican State
the requirement that before a foreign
born citizen can vote he must have a
property qualification
Governor IIill," says the New York
san, "might have added that in the
manufacturing States OF New England
bulldozing has become fine art, and
workmen are expected to vote as they
are ordered or lose their jobs"
To the SIMS suggestion, another might
have been pertinently added, that the
Maine Pilgrim commence his reformation
in his own State. Aye; in his own City
OF Augusta. A short time ago in that
town, colored man, an honorably dis
charged soldier OF Co. b, Fifth Massa

THE DIFFERENCE.

An order has been made abandoning !
the military post known as Fort hallecK,
in Elko county, Nevada, whereupon the
Elko Independent bemoans the calamity
in column article in which the war
Department is rather severely censured
for removing the troops from that sec
ton. When the last Nevada Legisla-
ture was in session there was rumor
that such an order was about to be made,
and q petition, signed by nearly every
citizen OF that portion OF Elko, was sent
to the members from that county asking
that the War Department be memorial
lied against the removal OF the troops
and the abandonment Of the post. These
are, perhaps, not matters OF general in
terest, and are only alluded to here ior
the purpose OF showing the difference OF
feeling in regard to the presence of
troops in loyal and disloyal communities.
The abandonment OF military post in
all sections of the United States, except
Utah, is regarded as calamity by the
people thereabouts, and the most .strenu-
Gus efforts are invariably made by them
to prevent it, They furnish markets for
farming produce, customers for mer-
chants, work for teamsters and other
laborers, and all classes are pecuniarily
benefited. At least fifty per cent. OF the
money disbursed for soldiers pay is left
in the vicinity OF the post, and finds its
way to the tills md pockets OF the resi-
dent citizens. These are the purely
pecuniary advantages derived, without
reference to the protection afforded in
Indian countries and other places where
military power is likely to become neces-
sary for the maintenance of the
public peace To the law abiding
citizen the presence of the military
view, as a factory, college or other insti-
tuition which derives its revenue else
where and disburses it where it is located
In Utah, however, it is different. Fort
Douglas has ever been and is an eye-sore
to the Mormon people. Although its
occupancy brings thousands and tens o
thousands OF dollars each year to be eX
pended in the Territory, most OF which il
paid to members of the Mormon Churcl
for camp supplies for man and beast, it il
regarded with dstrust and hatred, ant
had the priesthood the power to effec
its abandonment it would he exer
cised before the rising OF another
sun. The reason for this is plain
Conscious of the unlawful practices o
the members, and the reasonable spiri
which pervades the Mormon Church, the
presence of the military is regarded as a
menace, and the leaders are restivt
under the restraint imposed by power
which is never exercised in time OF peace
except for the maintenance OF the civi
laws and the protection OF the law-abid.
ing people Of the country, That is the
reason why the majority of the people o
Utah regard as a curse what is welcomed
by all communities as blessing.

HERESY-HUNTING.

The time has passed when heresy-
hunters by inquisition or otherwise can
intlict punishment by imprisoning, maim-
ing or taking the life OF those who dared
to differ from them, with regard to
Oh urch government or doctrines. But
while the vindictive punshments OF
other days are interdicted by the better
Christian spirit OF the nineteenth cen
tury. the nti-Christian impulse OF earlier
days to call down fire from Heaven to
destroy those who insist upon the right
OF private judgment still remains in the
Church. To-day it finds notable express
sion in denomination which more than
any other stands for individual freedom
OF opinion in religions matters Refer
ence is had to the Congregationalists and
TO official measures recently taken to
crush out the heresy, which would ex-
tend the time OF probation to certain
classes OF men into the life beyond the
grave.
The recent action OF the Board OF For
eign Missions, in discriminating against
applicants for missionary work who were
tainted with this presumed heresy, and
in rudely thrusting from their executive
committee representative man who
accepts the doctrine in question, is fresh
in the memory OF reading and intelligent
men. Elated with their success in turn
ing L. C. Smyth out OF the missionary
synagogue, complaints have been lodged
against the same gentleman in connection
with his four brother professors in the
Andover School OF Theology by the same
heresy-hunting iuquisitors, for the pur-
pose OF driving the gentlemen in question
in disgrace from their official positions.
There is no charge OF unchrstian conduct
or oil any lack OF qualification as theo-
logical teachers against them, only they
cherish belief that to the untold mil
lions OF the human race that have and
will pass into the future state necessarily
having no knowledge OF the Savior OF
Men Or of His gospel OF good tidings,
there will be granted future probation
under better circumstances for repentance
and acceptance OF that to them before
unknown gospel.
This and nothing more is the head and
front OF their Offending And it is no.
ticeable fact that with hardly an excep.
ton, the representative papers Of other
evangelical sects which have heretofore
taunted the Congregationalist body with
looseness OF doctrine and with offensive
liberality oi thought and action, now pat
the heresy-hunters ON the back while
they declare that their own immaculate
sect is free from the soul-destroying doc
trine! Ii the aggressive policy thus in
auguated is continued, il is evident that

80 RETALIATION.

\ gentleman writes to the DEMOCRAT
from Ogden expressing his fears that the
Gentle opposition to Col. Ferry will de-
stroy whatever chance there was ior the
success OF the anti Mormon ticket at the
next municipal election in that city. We
must sincerely hope that our correspon-
dents fears are groundless. Any Demo-
crat who would permit the action OF
few bigoted partzans to force him from
the path OF duty, is lacking in an essen
tial attribute OF Democracy, which is ever
self-sacrifcing, patriotic and forbearing.
Ogden is strong Gentle town, 1t is
the second in population in the Territory.
\ victory there would encourage the en-
tire loyal element OF the Territory
to redoubled exertions, cheer the
despondcnt and clear the way ior
general united action when Congress
shall have placed such restrictions upon
the elective franchise as will at least give
the friends OF the general government a
chance to free themselves from priestly
rule Ogden is in good position to take
the lead. There is considerable dissatis-
faction, even among the Mormons at the
manner in which the affairs OF the city
have been conducted and Gentle ticket,
iudciously selected, with united action,
would have at least an even chance for
election. Let no Democratic heartburn
ing or spirit OF retaliation interpose tc
lessen the chances. Let the dead past

woman too unite in achieving living

Hi. Vie Talks On The Train.

Now I'll tell you why l wouldn't 90
into the restaurant and have n cup of
coffee with you while We were waiting
for the train. I didn't like the way you
asked me. Keep quiet, I nave the floor.
Not half an hour before, you said to Mr..
Pnlfer, ''Come, let's get n cigar" and
away you went, holding his arm and
not giving him a chance to decline.
When we met John O'Howdy on our
way to luncheon you said, 't.Just in
time, John, come take lunch with u.s."
And then tonight, when VIC found the
train nearly an hour late, you looked at
your watch, turned to me and said, in
a questioning way; Would you like n
cup of coffce?" And I did want it; I
was tired and a little hungry, but 1
would have tainted before I accepted
such an invitation. And you went
away q little bit veXed with me and had
your coffee and bread and butter by your
self and didn't enjoy it very much.
In effect. you said to me: eff you want n
cup of coffee, if you really eant it, I will
buy it foryou." You arc the best hus-
band in the world, but you do rs nearly
all the best husbands do. Why do
You men seem to dole things out to your
wives when you fairly throw them to
the men you know? Why don't you en-
vite me heartily, MS you envite men?
Why didn't you say "Comc: let's get a
little coffee and something" and take
me right along with you2 You wouldn't
say to q man, "Would you like nc to
go and buy you a cigar?" Then why do
you always issue your little invitations
to treats in that way to nc? Indeed, in:
deed, my dear husband. il MGR would
only act toward their wives as heartily,
cordially, frankly rs they do toward tho
men whom they meet, they would find
chccricr companions ut home than they
could Mt tho club:--Eurdete.
