A GLORIOUS DAY.
error.

Saturday was the anniversary of the
emancipation of the negroes. In New
Orleans the day was observed, and most
noteworthy fact of all, the Washington
Artillery of that city, the most famous
artillery of the South during the war,
fired salutes in honor of the day. 1t is
now nearly a quarter of century since
the famous Emancipation Proclamation
was given to the world, and the changes
in our own country since that proclama-
ton have been most wonderful. In no
respect has this change been more marked
than in the improvement of the col
ored race. Much remains to Se done
to make that race what it ought to be,
but when it is charged against them
that they are ignorant and superstitious,
let it be remembered that the white race
kept them in bondage and used them as
beasts of burden Such being the case,
is it to be wondered at that the colored
race are ignorant and superstitious But
the conditions which made them beasts
of burden and riveted upon them the
chains of ignorance and superstition are
gone forever, and for this every Ameri-
can should be thankful. Upon the South
slavery brought far more of woe than OF
veal, and it was to the curse of slavery
that the country owed civil war. From
an economical point of view slavery was
a curse to the South, while from moral
point of view it was sin of the deepest
dye. The proclamation which made the
negroes free deserves to rank along with
Magma Charta. the English Bill of Rights
and the Declaration of Independence,
and to future generations the I'd of Janu-
ary will be as sacred as the 4th of July.

FAR FETCHED.

The Tribune of yesterday contained an
article in which an attempt was made to
put the DEMoCRAT in wrong position.
The Tribune'S reasons for this are too well
known to require setting them forth. Its
article ended with this:
We brand the statement that GENTLE
iury has ever vet in Utah convicted any
Mormon of crime, without the most ample
evidence, as a causeless and most unwar-
ranted falsehood and insult, and one partic-
ularly freighted with mischief at this time.
This is a pretty broad assertion even
for the Tribune to make, and is little
far fetched when compared with what the
DEMOCRAT said. What the DEMOCRAT
did say was this
A leading lawyer came very near putting
the situation in Utah as it is when he re-
marked few days ago: "a Mormon jury
won't convict, no matter how much nor what
the weight of the evidence Is; and GENTLE
jury will convict whether there is any evil
dence or not"
Does it justify what the Tribune at
tempts to make us say? The Democrat
has never said nor intended to say that
Mormons have been convicted by Gen
tiles without evidence, and this the Tri.
bune well knows. We merely used the
remark of the attorney referred to to
illustrate the feeling which exists in Utah
between Mormons and non-Mormons,
and it illustrates it very well, too. The
man. be he Mormon or Gen.
tile. who took the remark literally
was evidently hunting for something
to take umbrage at, and seems TO have
found it. We wish him full enjoyment
of it. Perhaps the Tribune thinks there
is no prejudice in Utah between tie
Mormons and Gentiles, but whether OF
not it thinks so, there is. The Tribune
seems to have taken such mortal ofense
at our illustration that we will give it an
other. On New Years day gentleman
of this city said to us that our illustration
was very near right, and he supplemented
this remark by saying that if he were
summoned as juror in polygamy oil
unlawful cohabitation case, he would ask
the Court to excuse him because in any
such case he did not believe he
could serve as an impartial juror
The gentleman to whom we now refer
is not Democrat nor a Mormon, but this
same gentleman was a United States
officer i'm Utah few years ago.
In conclusion we desire to call the at

aIFAr.Es VOTING. EDITOR
APOSTLE SHOWS CASE.

Apostle Lorenzo Snow has been con-
yicted of unlawful cohabitation, and will
receive sentence on the 8th instant. The
position which Mr.. Snow holds In his
church gives to his case an interest 1t
would not otherwise have. There is an
other thing which makes this case inter-
esting. Mr.. Snow is seventy-two years
of age, and at such time of life people
have more feeling for man than when
he is young and full of life and vigor.
There is not man in Utah who desires
to see Mr.. Snow imprisoned for his crime,
and every man who thinks the law should
be enforced, would prefer to see Mr.
Snow promise to render obedience to the
law in future, and thereby save himself
from prison. Whether he will do this or
not, no one can tell. The probabilities
are that he will not, and in that case the
Judge will very likely make imprison-
ment a part of his punishment. We
know, as every one in Utah knows, who
has any acquaintance with things here,
that If Mr.. Snow refuses to promise to
obey the law in future that it will be be-
cause such promise would be surren-
der of part OF his religion, according to
his view of things. Why do these men
who are such sticklers for consistency in
their religion not always live that religion
as they profess it? 1t may be answered,
as we have heard it answered many
times, that man is not perfect, and that
the weakness of the flesh sometimes
causes the best of men to err. A very
fine answer, and one that always carries
conviction to those who make it. One OF
Mr.. Shows attorneys, in addressing the
jury, said, according to the Ogden Herald:
There is no evidence whatever of any as
sociation with some of these women during
the year 1885. He did not even visit them
With Minnie he has lived exclusively.
Ii Mr.. Snow has lived exclusively with
one wife for a long time, where is the
great difficulty in promising to live with
but one wife in the future? That is all
that has been required by the Courts
here We are afraid that in living po
lygamy according to its true spirit, one
wife is all that the great majority of po-
lygamists live with at one time. 1t is a
pernicious system in all respects, and
this sudden rush oil duty and religion
from which some of the polygamists are
just now suffering, is entirely too spas
modic and novel to be healthy and o
long duration. From one wife being
favorite it has come to be all favorites
q thing never before heard of in Utah
We are inclined to think that it is the
Government that is making the polyga
mists treat their plural wives better thar
has been their won't, and not their relig
ion. AS Apostle Snow has 'lived exclus
ively'' with one wife for a long time, it is
to he hoped that he will find no insur-
mountable difficulty in promising to live
with but one wife in the future, thereby
obeying the law.

SUPPORTING THE ADMINISTRA-
TION.

The New York Herdtd'S washington
correspondent says that it is being whis-
pered around Washington that the Presi-
dent is anxious to know how many sup
porters the Administration is going to
have. The Administration will have just
as many supporters as there are friends
of good and honest government in Con-
gress. Government is not an affair OF
poetry or idealism, but an administration
of public affairs. The administration of
these affairs requires the employment OF
many hands, and the endeavor of Mr..
Cleveland is to get the most competent
hands. 1t is an endeavor that ought to
succeed, and it is one in which the Presi-
dent should be seconded by all who
think that good and honest government
is the first demand of the people, and
that to obtain it parties are founded. This
idea has not always had sway, but it is
gaining it, and it is this fact that makes
many discontented and causes them to
complain The triumph of this idea
that party is founded for the purpose OF
securing good and honest government
means death to the idea that government
is contest for Office, and that office
means spoils. 1t has meant that alto
gether too much, but that is no reason
why it should any longer. Mr.. Cleveland
has pledged himself to combat this idea,
and he is doing it wonderfully we'll. 1t
is not to be expected that the spoilsmen
will support him in his fight, but the
detection in the Democratic ranks is not
nearly so great as some would make out.
The men who are chiefly desirous of Mr..
Cleveland's failure in his fight for
reform are the Republicans, for
they we'll know that the triumph Of
his reform policy means death to their
party. Occasionally a complaint is heard
from some one in the Democratic party
about civil-service reform, and such COM
plants are sure to be magnifed into uni
versal discomfort by the Republican
press. Mr.. Cleveland was chosen by the
Democratic party as their standard-bearel
and he carried their standard to victory.
They chose him because he was pre-em-
inently reform man, and his record as
Governor of New York proved him to be
thorough-going reformer in Office as wei
as out. This was the reason for theil
choice of Mr.. Cleveland, and the party Ii
not going to desert him now that they
have elected him President. There need
be no anxiety as to whether or not Mr.
Cleveland will have supporters. On the
supposition, and which is the neares
supposition, that Mr.. Cleveland's party
win not support him because of his reform
policy, still it is better for the whole
country that he do not have that suppor
than that he should abandon the princi
Piles of reform which he has started out tt
make triumphant and dominant. Better
to stand alone in the path of duty than tt
follow the crowd through the fields o

THE Tribune of yesterday had very
labored article on the DEMOCRAT, and the
consequence is that the editor of the 7ri-
bune is suffering from nervous prostra-
ton. This is shown in another article
where it is said that Mr.. Gladstone has
an article in the December Century on
ssThe Dawn of Civilization. Mr.. Glad
stone had an article in the Nineteenth
Century for November on "The Dawn of
Civilization" but the Nineteenth Century
is an English review, while the Century
is an American magazine. We would
suggest mild diet for the Tribune ed
itor, and rest-say for thousand years.

MANY Democrats, especially of the
genus Blaine, doubt the wisdom OF re-
moving some of the Federal officials in
Utah. These same Democrats doubted
the wisdom OF electing Mr.. Cleveland.
There's nothing like wisdom, especially
official wisdom.
