MISERABLE EVASION.

The DEMOCRAT was the only paper in
this city which had stenographic re-
porter at the Pavilion last Tuesday even
ing. 1t was the only paper which pub
lshed, or could have published, orig
inally, full report OF Mr.. Dickson's
speech. That report cost the DEMOCRAT
time and money, but it gave its readers
each and every word uttered by the
speaker and in the order i'm which they
were spoken. The Salt Lake Daily Tri-
bune OF yesterday morning published a
brief synopsis OF the speech, but this
mornings issue contained it entire, taken
bodily from the DEMOCRAT, with the fol-
lowing courteous (?) acknowledgements:
The following is the address in full of
District Attorney w. ii. Dickson as de-
livered at the Pavilion on Tuesday evening,
July "a, reported by stenographer John w.
Pike of the Salt Lake DEMOCRAT.
The impression sought TO be conveyed
to its readers abroad was that Mr. Pike
was employed by the Tribune to steno-
graph the speech. 1t could haye had no
other design in thus crediting TO the re-
porter what should have been credited to
the paper itself. 1t is but justice to Mr..
Pike to state that the Tribune's intima-
ton is untrue. He is connected with the
DEMOCRAT and does no work, nor receives
pay from any other journal He could not
honorably do so without the consent OF
the owners OF the DEMOCRAT. This paper
seeks no recognition by the Tribune. Its
pretense OF ignoring the DEMOCRAT only
renders it ridiculous, while it detracts
nothing from the dignity, influence or
progress OF this paper. This institution
is here to stay, and will probably outlve
its enemies and flourish, despite the tao
ties OF the Republican organ and its Nor
mon allies in opposition. Its subscription
list and advertising columns are the
best evidences oi the apprecia-
ton i'll which the paper is held
by the public, and as the one
is daily increasing and the others filled
to their utmost capacity, it is hopeful OF
surviving, !or n few months longer at
least, even ii shut out from the patroniz-
ing rays OF the great Republican luminary
and the little galaxy OF minor orbs which
circle around it. We should never have
noticed this last contemplate act of the
Tribune in seeking to glorify itself at our
expense, had not its miserable endeavor
cast a reflection upon the journalistic in
tegrity OF the reporter. While we can
forgive the theft, we will not condone the
slander.

THE STEAMSHIP LABRADOR.

The discovery OF fire on the French
steamship Labrador, just as she was en-
tcring New York harbor, was fortunate
for those who took passage on her, as,
without outside help, she must have been
a total loss. The only strange thing
about the case is in the fact that such q
fire could so quickly burst out in a ship
Of that nation, which more than any other
plying between transatlantic ports, is
noted for discipline and every contrivance
known TO science ior the mastery of fires.
II was proven in the Oregon disaster that
all but the sea watch were asleep, and it
is believed some OF the latter
were asleep also, no doubt feeling Sc
cure, having passed Montauk Point light
and made the Highland Lights, which
mark the entrance to the harbor, and all
precaution so necessary at sea was al
lowed to drop. II is customary in these
vessels to make general clearing up
when entering port, and storing away
OF all apparatus used for safety at sea,
and doubtless such will be found 10 have
been the case on the Labrador. \ hard
fight will be made by the insurance men
to prove negligence on the part of the
officers OF the ship, and will be equally
vigorously opposed by the officers, Tor
such proof would invalidate the insur
ance claim and cause the forfeiture of the
officers certificates. But who will be made
to pay for the imminent risk to the
lives of her hundreds of passengers
Who will take up the cudgels for them
Had number of them lost their lives,
an inquiry would be made, and end in
smoke; but ms it is, no one will lift II
voice in their behalf or take steps to pre-
vent a repetition OF the same carelessness,
which may result more disastrously.
The fire apparatus, If watched and prop
erly handled. makes large fire on these
vessels impossible, and the fact that the
Labrador was beached and gutted to save
her, proves that her means were neither
at hand nor watched. The thousands
who look ahead to q trip to Europe will
be much interested in the outcome of this
unusual case.

THE MEXICAN MIDDLE.

A Galveston dispatch tells oi the
shooting OF an American citizen by Mex
leans, at Piedras Negras in that country,
after he had been delivered up by an
United States judge on writ Of
extradition, on the charge OF horse steal
ing Ii the import OF the dispatch is
true,n blame can be attached to the Mex
leans, as they proceeded in legal man
ner TO obtain possession OF the accused,
and as the crime was committed on Mex
lean territory, he was fully amenable to
Mexican law. The case in nowise is par
allel TO that of editor Cutting, now held
by the same people, and should not be
coniounded with il, 1t is claimed that
Raiseures, the alleged horsethief, is a
naturalized American citizen, and that
he should, in consequence, have Ameri-
can protection. Ii he was brought be-
fore an American official, and the papers
were signed extraditing him to the Mex
lean authorities the latter are in nowise
to blame, and no process in the American

two OF our own States, it would
not be necessary to afford hear

in an international case the method OF
procedure differs. and the accused should
be granted a full hearing to prove that he
was amenable to the Law oi the country

that under the United States Con-
stitution, in the laws governing the
election OF United States Senators, there
exists clause which gives them the
right to do so in this case. 1t is purely n
legal question, and as such must be de-
cided, there being no case which could
be used as n precedent. One thing is
certain, however, and that is, that Stone
man as Governor will be called upon to
sign the credentials OF such Senator, il
one be elected, and he will most certainly
refuse TO do so. Then the machinery OF
the Supreme Court will be called in play
to compel him TO do it, and by the time
that court is ready to act-if it should be
against the Governor-a new Legislature
will have been elected, and
new Senator formally chosen. That
George Hearst cannot go back TO
Washington is also mooted point, and
can be decided only by the Senate of
which he is member, hence, we may
look for prolonged discussion on this
case in that body next winter. The
whole matter reduced down to hard pan
is that the Republicans thought they saw
a chance to steal march on the popular
will, and they have proceeded TO march.
Whether they will continue to march on
ward or backward remains to be seen.
In either case the trick is worthy OF the
ia, ha ,,il
come home to them like their own curses
are doing nowadays, and be not very
welcome. either.

zens when one OF their number falls into
the hands OF foreign government,
charged with crime, is generally out OF
place, as the great majority of the people
cannot know the true inwardness of the
case, and therefore cannot pass upon it.
1t is but fair to trust to the State Depart
ment to properly adjudicate these mat
ters, and to remember that many of the
Mexicans living on the border take upon
themselves the garb of American citizen
ship only as a cloak to hide their thiev-
ing propensities, and to enable them TO
successfully elude punishment.

THE CALIFORNIA sENAToRsHlP

The Republican side OF the California
Legislature have voted in caucus TO elect
an United States Senator for the unex-
pired term OF Senator Miller deceased,
and 10 take the seat until now occupied
by George Hearst OF that State. This ac-
tion is directly antagonistic 10 the will OF
the Democrats in that body and will lead
TO serious results. Governor Stoneman
has stated that he foresaw such an at
tempt by the Republicans, and prepared
for u ly s.s...Iy liuitiug tue dnties for

claims that the Legislature, under the

A Jury Gets a Racket.-On Friday of last
week white man named George J. B. Thompson
was tried in the Hartford county court upon the
charge of stealing a set of harness, this being the
third care against the accused on similar charges.
The evidence in this case was dead against Thomp-
son, he having also admitted that he committed
the theft. The case was given to the jury in the
evening and they remained out all night, telling
the court, when they came in the next morning,
that they were unable to agree. The court then
sent them back, and the case being so plain, told
them that unless they did agree he would keep
them there until the September term. After
being out about two hours they again returned
and to the surprise of everybody, rendered YER
dict of ''not guilty" Then Judge Waters, ad-
dressing the jury, administered this sound re-
buke: "Gentlemen, it is not my habit or practice
to remark upon verdicts of juries, but I will say
that in an experience of fifteen years upon the
bench this is the most extraordinary and remark
able verdict, under the circumstances, have ever
heard. The matter, however, is entirely with
your own conscience"
Thompson, who has been extensively engaged
in the "harness business" had also extended his
operations to Baltimore county.

Family Difficulty at Texas.-Mr. Mar
tin Kennedy is a well known business man resid-
ing at Texas, Sth district Some time ago he had
a difficulty with Frank Conway, his stepson, and
had him bound over to keep the peace. On Mon
day last Conway went to Kennedy's house, while
the latter away, and demanded horse from
the stable but could not get because the stable
was locked. Shortly afterwards he saw Mr.. Ken
nedy and called to him but he walked away in
order to avoid difficulty. Conway followed,
caught up with him and then beat him severely,
backing his eyes and cutting his face. Thomas
Kennedy. a son of Martins, then came up and re
monstrated with Conway, who was very violent.
Philip Kennedy, brother of Martins, then ap-
peared upon the scene and struck Conway back
of the with stone and before he had recovered
from the shock Philip ran away. Conway, then
drew a large pocket-knife and pursued him and
both fell. Thomas then reached them and en-
deavored to prevent any further trouble, but Con-
way, who madly fourished the knife, cut Thomas
on the arm near the shoulder, inficting a wound
several inches in length and very deep, the flesh
laying open wide enough to insert two fingers
Thomas went to Dr. Busseys residence and had
the cut sewed up and dressed. 1t is not known
whether Conway did the cutting Intentionally or
by accident, although he declares that he did not
intend to cut Thomas, who was only acting in the
capacity of peace maker

Not Pleasant View of 1.-THE Garrett
county Democrat says: "Ifthe decrease in cost Of
marriage licenses from $3.50 to 81 was intended
70 give boom to matrimonial enterprises in
Maryland, that effect is not yet observable. Under
the present law, while the revenue to the State
has greatly decreased the actual cost to the party
taking out license, in many cases, will be great
ly increased over the old figures. Where under
the old law party living in remote section of
the county could procure a license upon the re-
quest of a clergyman or other responsible person,
the new law requires his personal application and
affidavit, and this will cost him from S. to $40,
without taking into account the time spent in
coming to and returning from the county seat.
So that the papers of Maryland, which for years
demanded this Marriage License Reform, have
succeeded with vengeance"

Subject of Grave Importance The Mt.


Washington Advocate has something very sensi-
BILE to say on the subject of q water supply for
that town, and as it's remarks apply well to
Towsontown and every other growing town in the
county, as they do to Mt. Washington, we quote
the article below "The question of an ample and
permanent water supply for our rapidly growing
village should be considered now. In our opinion
this is serious question: worthy of all the thought
that can be placed upon it. 1t is true at present
we have bountiful supply of unusually pure
water, but ten years hence our present source Of
supply of this most important necessity for health
comfort and convenience will not be available
The village is filling up and the ground is being
rapidly covered by houses stables and other build
ings. The springs and wells that are now pure,
will certainly be contaminated, therefore it is we'll
to take time by the forelock and consider now
what is best to be done. We hope the "Chronic
Directors" will not come to the front with this
stereotyped expression of the past twenty years,
"it has been good enough" &c. Wecan say right
here that won't do, Messrs. Directors, for you
know twenty years ago where many of our beau
tiful cottages are now located, were cow pastures
and hunting grounds. Twenty years hence some
of us will be here another generation will have to
be provided for, to say nothing of the daily adj
dtions to our midst by removals from the city
We do not propose to say how we shall get our
water supply. Let some of our active, go-ahead
citizens who seem to have the villages future so
much at heart take the matter up and suggest
PLAN"

Subscribers on a Strike.-An exchange say

Subscribers on a Strike.-An exchange says ::
We intimated some few weeks ago that the vague
fear was growing ON US that our subscribers were
strike. Subsequent events have gone to con-
firm the suspicion. Only one or two have report
ed at the office for duty during the last month or
SO. If they are standing out as we firmly be-
leve, we wish it understood right here that we
are willing to arbitrate. Even without that we
will concede eight hours day-if they will labor
faithfully at paying their subscriptions for eight
hours each day they can put on their coats and
60 home. We wish they would appoint COM
mittee to come in and see about it anyway. We
will meet them half way and take them by the
hand capital and labor should be allies, not ene-
mics. We thought we detected symptoms of a
boycott once when a man who had taken the
paper for some time refused to remove it from
the postofice, but happily this danger has been
ayerted.

An Improvement on the Electric.-Gen-
eral Manager Robbins has dispensed with the use
of the center rail at the different crossings on the
Hampden electric railway, by erecting an over
head conductor of the electric current. This con-
sists of posts, to which is attached galvanized
iron pipe, which runs over the crossings, on in
sulators, supported by the posts, thus connecting
the current with the ends of the rails on either
side of the crossings. 1t was with difficulty that
vehicles could pass over the crossings previous to
the erection of the overhead conductors An arm,
extended from the motor, reaching the iron pipe,
propels the car.
