THE REASONS.

SALT LAKE, March %, 1886.
EDITOR DEMOCRAT: Will you please ex-
plain why you know that the Governor was
''deposed' for good and sufficient reasons"
as stated in to-night's DEMOCRAT, when in
that of the oath you say you don't know the
reasons Liberal.
The fact that Governor Murray's resg-
nation has been requested or demanded
is the strongest kind of evidence that
good reasons exist why he should be re-
lieved from ofiice-"good and sufficient
reasons" to the President, whose inten-
tions with regard to numerous changes
likely to be made in Utah at no distant
day are known only to himself and his
constitutional advisers. What the spe-
citic grounds are upon which the Presi-
dent bases his action, we do not know,
and what is more, we do not care.
We believe that, under Democratic Ad-
ministration, the Federal offices every
| where should be filled by Democrats,
except in cases-and such cases are too
rare to be worth men ntioning-where the
public service would suffer from such q
change. Entertaining this view, and be-
lieving that the President will appoint n
| first-class man as Governor-Colonel
Merritt, us Mr.. Bastin says, would
| be a good man for the position
we can see good and sufficient reasons"
on political grounds alone-although it is
not known that those are the grounds
upon which the President bases his
action-why the request should be made
for Murray's resignation. The duties OF
that Office can be discharged by Demo
cratic Governor equally as well as by u
Republican Governor, and that is reason
enough, in all conscience, for anybody
who realizes that Democratic Admin
istration is now taking trick at the gov
ernmental wheel OF the ship OF state.

ABOUT THE TARIFF.

Every day it becomes more and more
apparent that time and energy will only
be wasted by Colonel Morrison and his
co-laborers in the cause of tariff revision,
in an attempt to force through Congress
at this session the measure which the
gentleman from Illinois is so anx-
ious to have the House consider.
Speaking OF the feeling in Congressional
circles with regard to tariff revision.
the Washington correspondent OF the
Cleveland Plain Dsaler says: "The Nor
rison discriminating bill will join its hori-
zontal fellow. The subject has become
grotesque here since the Kentucky Legis.
latnre passed a protest against placing

McCLERNAND AND MERRITT.

kilograms from Washington state that
General John A. McClernand is not de-
sirous of becoming Governor OF this Ter
ritory, but may be induced to accept the
Craftsmanship OF the Utah Commission,
with which office rumor has connected
his name for several weeks past. AS
stated in these columns yesterday, If it
were not for the probability that the
Utah Commission may shortly be num-
bered among the things that were, it
would only be reasonable to suppose that
General McClernand, for numerous good
reasons, would greatly prefer the Com
missonership to the Governorship.
Ii President Cleveland could induce
General McClernand to accept the posi-
ton made vacant by Commissioner
Ramsey, and on top OF that would send
in the name of Colonel S. A. Merritt for
Governor, the arrangement would meet
with the heartest approval OF the local
Democracy, since it would be the best
possible disposition that could be made
of both offices. And as to the propriety
OF appointing as Governor II resident of
the Territory, it is generally agreed that
il there is one office more than another
that ought to be filled by II bona fde resi-
dent of the locality where the services are
to be performed, that Office is the one
from which Eli H. Murray is now about
to retire.
President Cleveland is not in the habit
of making known in advance OF nomina-
ton the names of the gentlemen upon
whom his choice for office falls, and the
rumors which from time to time repre-
sent him as about to do this or do that
are, in nine cases out of ten, altogether
unreliable. 1t is pretty definitely asccr'
tained, though, that he is just now earnest
ly looking over the list OF candidates for
the Governorshipo OF Utah, and many more
days cannot elapse before some intima-
ton, ii not positive intelligence, as to the
identity OF the new official must be re.
ceived here.
Since it seems to be pretty well under
stood that General McClernand is coming
to Utah in some Federal capacity o
other, we trust that it may be as Chair
man OF the Commission, and that the
President, dissipating any doubts he may
have entertained rs to the propriety o
appointing local applicant to the Gov
ernorship, will send in the name o
Colonel Merritt for the latter office.

hemp on the free list. And there is
Democratic Maryland, which wants every
thing revised but the duties on its own
precious bromdes that two large
chemical factories turn out. Louis
lana is great reviser on every
thing but sugar. And to add to the con-
fusion, here is the protected woolen in.
dustries of the East asking wool to be put
on the free list that they may mix foreign
woods with domestic. Why, Columbus
Delano, who has bah-bahed around ev-
cry Congress since Sherman put the wool
tax down, will fly to his Nebraska sheep
ranch in dismay.n

KICKING AT CIVIL SERVICE
REFORM.

Congressman generally, without re-
spect to party, are beginning to complain
that the Civil Service Board has gone
beyond all OF the prerogatives granted to
it by the passage OF the civil service law.
The positions coming within the scope of
civil service examinations are plainly
classified by the statute but it is charged
that the Board have gone beyond
the warrant OF law, and are ringing in
every position almost in the various de-
partments, and insist that all positions
must be filled in accordance with their
rules, the same as those especially classi-
fled by the law itself.
In an interview with representative
OF the indianapolis Sentinel, Representa-
tive Holman (Democrat), OF Indiana,
expressed his sentiments on this subject
as follows:
The Civil Service Board is becoming ar
bitrary in its rulings. My Interpretation of
the law il that it applies only to positions
which are clerical in their nature, and not
to positions which are executive or judicial
When the bill was up in Congress this was
the opinion entertained by the best lawyers
of the House upon the subject, irrespective
of party. Had it been supposed for a
moment that it would apply to all posi-
tions il never would have become n law.
1t may just as well have said that no changes
should be made as to have the law enforced
according to the ideas of the Civil Service
Board, when no such intention was contem-
plated or thought of by the members who
voted for the bill. L am willing and anxious
that the law as properly construed
by Congress shall be carried out, but
do object to new and unwarranted
construction to be placed on it other than
what was the part of it as understood and
formulated by the power enacting the law.
Unless some modification is made by the
Board doubt if the Committee on Appro.
priations will make any provision for its
continuance. The committee can do this,
and ir it should be done, this year will be
the end of the Civil Service Commission.
And to this the Sentinel adds: "The
opinions held by Judge Holman are those
OF every Democrat and many Republi-
cans. II will be an easy matter for the
Appropriation Committee to end the life
OF the gentlemen who loaf about hotels
drawing big salaries, under the pretence
OF being reform statesmen, as is prac
tised by the so-called Civil Service Com
mission

THEY NEVER THOUGHT OF IT!

Oh, no. Of course it wasn't the inten-
ton OF the Republican friends of Governor
Murray, when they arranged for that
meeting at the Walker Opera House the
other evening, to attempt to make it ap-
pear that the Democrats OF Utah, by
taking part in the proceedings, disap-
proved of the Presidents action in
requesting the resignation of Republican
Governor Murray. Oh, no! They didn't,
for that very purpose, beguile Ransford
Smith into accepting the craftsmanship
OF the meeting, either. And this part OF
dispatch, telegraphed hence by the Re
publican press agent OF this city, doesn't
look bit like it, does it:
SALT LAKE March 2i.--A large meeting
was held last night in the Walker Opera
House, presided over by a Democratic mem
Der of the Chicago National Convention, to
indorse the acts of Governor Murray.
Speeches We're made eulogizing the retiring
Governor by prominent citizens, regardless
of party.
Following this are the resolutions,
adopted irrespective of party" We
rather think that somebody must be in
error in limiting that Governor Murray's
friends tried to put up job for his reten-
ton in office, and to that end sought to
make use OF Democratic prestige They
wouldn't do it.

Mr.. Eyarts, nratnry.

A possible reason why Mr.. Evarts'
oratory does not make greater impress
sion on the country is given by West
ern New Yorker. He had attended a
meeting at the Cooper Institute, where
the great man spoke. Dropping into a
store in the neighborhood, he observed
that he had been over to the institute
hearing a speech. "Who is speaking ?"
asked the storekeeper "Mr, Evarts." +"
"Ahl And what is he talking about ?"
"Well, | dunno; he didn't say"

There is one place that is even
worse off than New York for want of
underground telegraph conduits. In
Brazil the air lines have to contend
both with the natural decay, rapid as
that is in tropical country, and with
the sudden fall of the temperature at
shutdown, that causes wires and insu-
lators to break by contraction. All
nature is leagued against them. The
luxurious vegetation of the tropics,
despite all attempts to keep it down,
causes no end Of trouble. Birds
build their nests on top of the poles,
and ants up their sides, while skunks
and armadillos undermine them and
cause their sudden fall. The ants
nests have to be chopped off with
axes, when old and hard. Wasps
build nests in the bell shaped por.
celain insulators, apes NEEDLE with
the wires, and enormous swarms OF
birds, flying by night, often wreck or
tangle them. More mischievous than
any of these is a hugh spider that
weaves its web between the wires and
interfercs with the electric currents.
Worst of all the tremendous tropical
thunderstorms smash wires, poles, in
sulators and all, almost daily in their
season despite all precautions.-New

and not tho least OF these is history
OF tho word itself and some Of the other
words connected with it:
Tho word money comes from the
word foncta. And this comes from
the inscription ''iuno Moncta' on the
Roman coins, struck In n temple of that
name. .Noncia is derived from the
Latin word No zero, to warn, because
this temple was built on the spot where

Guilty Is easily got along with. The most
artistic curtains are drawn PARKWAY
back on the pole, and third curtain
gracefully draped across the upper
part of the window. This should in no
sense stimulate lambrequin, which Is
the ugliest of ugly things, but should
appear as il carelessly twined around
the pole. Another pretty fashion is to
have the thin curtains looped back and
the heavy ones hang straight and full
on either side of the window, but not
covering more than few inches of the
glass. Numerous ways will suggest
themselves to the ingenious woman of
draping her window-curtains in an
effective manner.
Sash curtains, fastened close to the
pane and tied back with ribbons, are
in high favor. as they have been for
some time past, especially for country
houses and cottages by the sea. The
prettiest of these are made of soft china
silk. but good effects are obtained by
the use of Madras muslins in horiated
the pretty ecru or otherwise softly col
orcd fabrics which come for the pur-
pose. The starchcd white, large-pat-
termed lace that was once considered
the regulation thing has disappeared
long since from tasteful houses, and in
its place are found buff and cream I'M
dressed Madras muslin with convcn-
tional designs in scmi-toncs of color.
These come in curtains or by the yard,
the last-named answering admirably
for sash curtains. As il has no border
it must necessarily be trimmed with
lace edge if used for flowing curtains,
as it often is under heavier ones. A
mellow witching light is obtained by
lining Madras muslin curtains with
soft silk of harmonious tone. -Phtia-

STAYING POWERS.
Why Every Young Man should Aim
Develop working Constitution.

Why Every Young Man should Aim III
Develop a Working Constitution.
Young men intending TO seek the
honors and cmoluments of profcs.
sional life should remember that to
attain them it is indispensable that ono
should have great personal vigor and
power Of endurance. The demand on
the vitality of a successful Clergyman.
doctor, lawyer. architect or engineer,
is tremendous and continuous. The
mind may be trained, informed, acute,
full of resources and elastic. but it Is
easily wearied if tho body is destitute
of staying power, and seeks rest after
n few hours Of cxertion. In such cases
there is but slight prospect of pro.
fesssional success.
Wellington's success as a General
was largely due to his extraordinary
power of so enduring fatigue that at
the end of long days work, he was
still fresh and fit for labor. His phys.
ical vigor enabled him to be wherever
he was wanted. and thus to see every.
thing for himself.
The training which develops this
vigor and endurance is not always that
which fits man 10 be stroke-oar, or
cunning ball-pitcher, or supple
gymnast. On the contrary. while ex-
amplcs are not wanting Of men who
have been champions" of something
or other in college, and who have been
noted through life for perfect mental
and physical vigor, the athletic train
ing of the oarsman and ball-player
often units q man for a successful pro.
fessional career. For eminencc in any
profession is only attained when mind
and body are fresh, elastic and ready
to 60 on after many hours of continu-
Gus labor-it may DO writing at desk,
or addressing jury, or engaging in a
parliamentary debate, or caring for u
multitude of patients during an cpl
demic. In any case it demands mon.
tai activity which subjects nerves and
brain to the sevcrest tension.
Professional men require not the
body of an athlete, but a working con-
stitution, and that is not unfrcqucntly
found in men of slender frame and
small muscles. Their lifting power is
small but their staying power is great.
Such a constitution is &C ncrally born,
not made, and yet il is within young
mans power to develop it by attention
to the laws Of the body and mind.
Nourishing food, abstinence from slim.
ulants and narcotics, regular exercise,
the daily sponge-bath and flcsh-brush,
plenty of sleep, and methodical habits,
are the means by which working con-
stitution may be gained and developed
