FIGHTING FOR SILVER.

Messrs. Chandler of Georgia and
Weaver of Nebraska, as our dispatches O.
this afternoon show, got in some telling
work in the House to-day against the
proposition to suspend the coinage oi
silver dollars. We believe it is now gen.
orally admitted, in both financial and
political circles, that the gold men res.
urrected the wrong corpse when they
dug up the silver suspension bill, and
that nothing now remains but to gently
lay it away to rest again.
When such countries as Great Britain,
Germany and Japan commence clamor-
ing for the white metal for the purpose OF
placing it alongside Of gold, it, is not a
pleasing commentary on the statesman
ship of the men in America who, with the
experience of the above-named countries
before them. still keep up their warfare
on silver The conviction, however, that
the fight on their part will only result in
certain defeat, is a consolation to the
friends of silver everywhere.

II Is TIME TO MOVE.

The DEMOCRATS suggestion last even
ing that the time has now arrived when
the nom -Mormons of Utah, regardless of
political party lines, should strike hands
inzan earnest effort to secure from Con-
gress atits present. session such legisla-
tion as this Territory most stands in need
of, seems to have met with the unquali-
fed approval of all who recognize the
true situation of affairs here.
If it be true, as we are advised it is,
that Congress is now IN the humor
to pass such measures as will effectu-
ally dispose Of this ecclesiastical rdes-
poiism within whose vampire clutch the
local government has been squeezed and
robbedof its slife-b blood fora third of a
century, then is it the duty of all the
Gentiles throughout this Territory to rise
up as one man, regardless of personal or
political differences which under other
circumstances might. hold them apart,
and do all that in their power lies to
bring about the needed changes here, so
that i'm the future Utah may in very truth
become the free land that all good citizens
everywhere would wish to have it. -
Again We urge that the local central
committees of the two great national
parties be called together. Let them
give to the situation all the consideration
which its Importance demands, and if it
be deemed wisdom to call together the
people in mass meetings throughout the
Territory to -ratify any action, that may
be taken, why SO let it be.-..s-----s-.s---s-s-a
The great God above could never have
desired that Utah should be peopled by
slaves to either monarch or priest; letlit
be at once our duty and our pleasure to
see that His desires are dulyrespected.

2MANTI's HOSPITALITY. 500

The Manti Home Sentinel cautions its
readers to beware of all strangers who
turn up in that vicinity, no matter in
what guise they may appear. Evidently
the Home Sentinel has an idea that in
welcoming strangers, instead of enter
tanning angels unawares, they might get
hold of deputy marshal or two on
the trail of polygamists. "Confine your
trade" says this hospitable sheet, ''to
our own people, and if any come among
us not properly endorsed, let them be
treated as spies till such time as they
conform to our customs. A little caution
may save US from many unpleasant
consequences 1t might, for fact, but
the tone of this article would lead any
unprejudiced person to believe that,
however unpleasant the consequences
that might result from such lack Of
caution, they would be well merited by
those who were called upon to endure
them.
And the editor OF the Manti Home
Sentinel is the president of Young
Mems Christian Association, too! He is
evidently the right man in the right
place, with bosom overfowing with the
milk of kindness for polygamists and
huge disgust of anything that smacks
OF Americanism.

never hope to receive at the hands OF
prison officials elsewhere. Yet, notwith-
standing all this, he has been subjected
to endless abuse in Mormon pull
pit and press, and in every conceivable
way has been pictured as a veritable
monster, whose chief delight is to
harass, oppress and infict unwarranted
punishment and indignities upon this
people" generally and the prisoners in his
charge particularly.
Perhaps the curtailment of a few of the
privileges" which it is held these con-
victs are entitled to, would have a salu-
tary effect upon both them and their
loud-lnouthed. and in many cases scarcely
less guilty, friends. Let the Marshal try
it for while and see how it will work.

THE CANNON CONSPIRACY.

The examination of Frank Cannon and
Angus Cannon, Jr, on the charge of en-.
tering into a conspiracy to murder United
States District Attorney Dickson, was
brought to close before u. S. Comnis-
sionerJ Critchlow yesterday afternoon,
After reviewing the evidence adduced,
the Commissioner stated that it was inn
possible for him to resist the conclusion
that the defendants were cognizant of the
fact that Hugh Cannon NOW fugitive
from iustieeJ INTENDED to commit an as
sault on the personof Mr. Dickson, and
that they arranged and combined with
him, the aforesaid Hugh Cannon, to
bring about such an assault; therefore,
he (the Commissioner would hold the
defendants in bonds Of $1,000 each to
answer to the Grand Jury en- the charge
OF conspiring to commit an assault.
The evidence adduced at the examina
ton shows that there is even more than
probable cause to believe that these de-
PENDANTS entered into conspiracy to
commit a crime, yet all along the Church
papers have urged that the assault com
mitted in pursuance of this alleged con-
spiracy was nothing more than the work
of a beardless boy, who, alone and un-
aided, undertook to 'get even" with
District Attorney Dickson for propound
ing insulting" questions to his mother
while a witness before the Grand Jury.
1t now turns out that, instead of being
.alone in. that shameful affair, two men
are held, after a searching examination,
to answer for entering into a conspiracy
with this innocent, beardless youth
to commit the esassault for which he is now
wanted" it is also proven that he is not
the son of the woman who is alleged to
have been questioned in the Grand Jury
room, and therefore he could have had
no such motive to commit the assault as
these journals have Imputed to him;
and if more evidence is needed to con-
vince any reasonable person that he was
guilty of 4 wanton, unprovoked and ma
.licious assault, with intent to murder for
aught anybody knows to the contrary,
the fact OF his sudden Disappearance on
the underground route furnishes that ev-
idence.

A TEMPTING BAIT.

The members of the Utah Legislature
evidently begin to realize that they have
wasted altogether too much time fishing
with bare hooks in Gubernatorial waters,
SO Yesterday they determined to vary the
programme OF sport little and see if it
were not possible to use some kind OF
bait that would enable them to land a
well-developed Executive approval. To
this end these legislative fishermen placed
upon the appropriation hook tempting
bait in the shape OF $4,000, to defray the
expense of sending Utah products to
the New Orleans and London Exposi-
tions.
OF course, under any other than exist
ing circumstances, Governor Murray
would feel it his duty to approve such
bill, since money SO expended would
doubtless result in great benefit to
the whole Territory. Butunless Governor
Murray eats his own words, unless he
recedes from a position under the law
which he long has maintained, and
which all his friends are agreed is i'm
pregnable, unless he throws up tine
sponge and admits that the pig-headed
servants of the Mormon Church now do
ing duty as legislators, are right, while
he e,himself isand all this time has been
in the wrong, he cannot attach his sigma
ture to this measure, and we have suf-
ficient confidence in him to believe that
he will not do SO. ~ !, - T. s .-l1-F-issl;
The bait is tempting one, as we said
before, but the work OF stringing it is so
bunglingly done that the point of the
cruel hook is left exposed to the sightiof
all who care to look for IT,

Not ssAu Torn Up.o

So far as can be gathered from our con- tsmporaries of the Democratic press in the State, the Republican party is ''all torn up'' in canvass for gubernatorial candidate. If we were to believe one-half that is said in these Democratic newspapers, the Republi- cans of the State are doing nothing but dis cuss the situation with great vehemence, swear at each other and praise the ''boodle," as they have it. Now, this is all a mistake, which our Democratic friends will soon learn. The Republicans of the State interested in canvass which is being conducted honorably and fairly, and in which three gentlemen of the party, either of whom is sure to be preferable to any candidate the Democrats may name, are concerned. There is no 'throat cutting" in prospect, no crimination or recrimination, nothing but determination to select the candidate whom the majority shall regard as the most fitting and the most able to lay the Democratic party of the State ''out cold" No, the Republican party is not all "torn up" It is in a healthful condition, and what is more, it is not depending upon the Democratic press of the State to furnish it with candidate.

AN INTERPRETING QUESTION.

An interesting question has been raised at
 Cambridge, Massachusetts, where the lock out of employees by MT. Squire recently oc- | cured. Most of MT. Squire's employees live | in part of Cambridge where saloons are | numerous, and it struck the board of alder | men that open saloons might be 8 source of ! danger during the continuance of the lock ! out. Therefore they passed the following | order: "Ordered, that, for the better pre- servation of peace and good order in this city his honor the mayor request the keepers of saloons in the district of Inman Square to close their saloons during the remainder of
 this week, and for such further time as he may think necessary" Acting upon this re-
 quest, Mayor Russell issued notice to the
 liquor dealers in the described section as follows: "In accordance with this order, you hereby directed to close your saloon at once, and keep it closed through the re-
 mainder of this week.
 Most of the salaon keepers promptly obeyed the order, but some of them now as sert that the mayor and aldermen had no to interfere with their business by clos ing their shops. It is said that the legal counsel are unable to find in the statute any authority to require licensed dealer to cease his business in any emergency. It is understood that dealers affected by the order are considering the question of the responsi- bility of the city for damages. In some cases, the loss has been heavy; not only that accruing from loss of trade, but the damage to stocks of ale, beer, etc. They reason that they have paid for licenses to sell, and that if they are thus arbitrarily deprived of that right, and stocks ordered for regular trade spoil on their hands, the city should be re- sponsible.
 The Boston Herald does not think the ob jectors will accomplish much. It says: If the aldermen closed the saloons under au- thority of law, there might be some moral claim for compensation from the city; but if, as would appear to be the case. there is no such authority, the city will hardly be held responsible. Some years ago Q proposition was introduced into the legislature, author izing city and town authorities to close li- censed saloons in emergencies, but it appears never to have become law. If no such power exists, it should be given, and the question of it's existence will soon be settled.

Russia in Central Asia

Arminus Vambery in letter to the Lon don Times says: The reasons which may in- duce Russia to pick quarrel for the sake of few miles of territory from Khoja Saleh to Kham-i-Ab lie certainly far deeper than your correspondent is ready to admit. It is not the question of greater or lesser fertility, nor the importance of better and more suitable ferry across the Oxus, but solely and exclu- sively the standing among the Turkish popu lation of this district for If the Turcomans, who belong to the Ersari tribe, and the Uz- begs, who belong to the Ming -Kungrat and Atchmayli families, are ever brought to ac- knowledge the superiority of the Russians, nothing will be easier for the government of St. Petersburg than to foster continual dis content and revolution of the Turks of Aktche, Khulm, Shiborghan and KunduZ against their Afghan rulers. The Amir of Cabul will have constant trouble in this out lying part of his kingdom, and will feel the weight of Russian intrigues much more heavily than he could or would feel them through Russia's recently acquired position on the Murghab. In the last named place the Turkish element is isolated, while on the left bank of the Upper Oxus it is found a compact mass, and is certainly the prepon- derant majority over the dominant Af
 
 nor of Turkestan, may act with the great est energy, wisdom and streng gth he will nevertheless have very hard position in the face of Russian influence over secret ly encouraged, numerous and warlike foe What lies next at the bottom of these Russian aspirations is easy to guess. It is, as every observing politician will easily find out, the long coveted frontier line to the north of the Hindoo Koosh, line of which Russian writers and generals have made no secret at all, considering their ar gument that river makes bad frontier and cannot be trusted at all.
 If we add to this the moral benefit which may accrue to Russia by checkmating and humiliating again British influence in the eyes of Orientsls, too much convinced of the boundless power of the MUscovite, we may easily understand any eventual stub bornness shown in this case. This affords in the meantime also an ample reason to Brit ish statesmen not to slight the Kham-i-Ab question, and above all not to be frightened by Russian threats. In Penjdeh Russia had an effectual menace owing to her position in Merv and in the Turcoman country, while here, good way off from Samarcand. she would be scarcely able to turn her shallow menaces into palpable facts. At all events believe, sir, it is high time to show to Rus sia that Great Britain is not @ power which can be so easily trihed with, and am sure resolute and firm attitude is the best weapon to be used against her endless encToachments and her wanton attacks.
