President of the Helena & Wickes Rail.
road, has completed arrangements with
the Northern Pacific Railroad for the
building of several branch roads for that
system which are to start from Helena.
An alarming revolt took place to-day in
the prison at Chalons. The military had
to be called in to quell the disturbance.
The authorities have ordered an inquiry
to be made on the complaint that the
treatment by the prison officials was in
tolerable.
Panama advices OF the 10Th instant say
that series of murders have been COM
mitted at Abatedas, in the State of San
tander. An entire family was assassi-
mated. The assassins, six in number,
are Antonio Ertaban, Francisco Marciales,
Miguel Flores, Pantalon Rono and deaf
and dumb man. The President of the
Republic has directed that they be tried
by military court-martial. The appre-
hension of the assassins has led to the
development and has brought to light
other crimes of revolving character.
The chief sensation of a session of the
House of Commons the other night was
caused by the detection of House of
Commons reporter for one of the most
prominent morning newspapers in the
act of eavesdropping. The reporter was
promptly accused and vigorously de-
nounced by the members whose CONVEX
sation he sought to overhear, and the
fact of his ofense was reported to the
Speaker. The affair created considerable
excitement, and will result in the exclu-
sion of the offender from both Houses of
Parliament.

otherwise, however much he may regret
the apparent summary summons to Gov
ernor Murray to lay down his charge. 1t
is not clear, however, how Utah has suf-
fered. or will suffer, from the loss of Gov
ernor Murray, and we rather think the re-
porter misquoted Mr.. Baskin when he
put those words into his mouth. If a
good, true Democrat like Colonel Merritt
or General John A. cClernand of Illinois
it will be observed that Mr.. Baskin
speaks of Colonel Merritt as "a splendid
man for the position be ap-
pointed to succeed Murray, on what
grounds can the prediction be reasonably
made that Utah will suffer from the
change? As the gentleman himself
points out, and as we all know, President
Cleveland can and no doubt will appoint
a frst-class man to the Governorship, and
in view of this assurance, the Democrats
here approve the Presidents action and
are content to await developments under
the administration of the man upon
whom the Presidents choice may fall.

Take Utah, for Instance,

from inc NeU York Sun.
The Hon. John G. Spooner told the
Senate that he believed in the right of the
Administration to fill the offices with his
friends, and as to this matter there seems to
be a general consensus of opinion in the
Senate and out of it. When, however. Mr..
Spooner AYERS that if it had not been for
Mr.. Cleveland's civil service declarations
thousands of Republican efice-holders
would have resigned of their own motion,
he doth but jest. The Republican office
holders are perfectly aware of the time of
day, and most of them know better than to
resign before they must. Civil Service Re-
form, or no Civil Service Reform, these pa
trlots may be depended upon to cling to
oihce with that affectionate pertinacity with
which the Old Man of the Sea annexed
himself to Sinbad the Sailor-and who can
blame them?

REPUBLICAN ALL THROUGH

The Ogden News thinks the Democrat
was at fault in characterizing the recent
meeting in honor of Governor Murray as
purely Republican demonstration, for,
as it says, "every man in Utah knows
better than that" BY which, it is to be
inferred, the NeUs would like to have il
understood that that meeting was actively
participated in, and that the resolutions
adopted received the hearty approval of,
the local Democracy-which is not true.
As matter of fact, the meeting was
planned by the party friends of Governor
Murray, and had for its object the ex-
preston of approval Of Murray's official
course in Utah, implying an indirect CEN
sure OF the President for requesting the
Governors resignation. Prominent DEM
ocrats were approached and asked to make
speeches and otherwise lend countenance
to the meeting. This they very properly
declined to do, on the broad ground that
loyalty to party forbade their active par
ticipation in a meeting of that character.
which could only be looked at in the
light OF an unqualified endorsement
Of the official actions of Republican
ofiice-holder whom the President, for
good and sufficient reasons, had seen fit to
depose. As Democrats, they could not.
and did not, take any active part in that
meeting, and they were amply justified
in abstaining therefrom.
That demonstration was, both in idea.
in conception and in its carrying out.
solely of Republican character, and the
local Democracy had absolutely nothing
whatever to do with it.

AN INTERVIEW WITH MIR. BASKIN

The Chicago Herald of Monday las
notes the arrival in that city on Sunday
OF Hon. R. N. Baskin, en- route to Wash.
ington. OF course, the enterprising re.
porter lost no time in tracking the gentle.
man to his quarters at the fremont
House and getting his interview pump at
work, as evidenced by the following:
Judge Baskin has in his possession the
resignation of Governor Murray, of Utah,
recently asked for by the President. The
Judge. said that he acknowledged the pro-
prlety of the demand made by the President
for the Governors resignation, but he re-
gretted sincerely that it came at the present
time. He feels that Utah has and will suffer
from the loss of Governor Murray, although
the President can and will no doubt appoint
good man. Governor Murray, however,
some time ago sent Secretary Lamar word.
through Justice Harlan, that whenever the
President desired his resignation it would at
once be submitted. Judge Baskin did not
know whether Governor Murray's successor
would be a Democrat from the Territory.
He spoke of Colonel Samuel Merritt, a law
yer, as being a splendid man for the posi-
tion.
Judge Baskin said that he wished that the
ShohSO hdu hoJ UoSu ludue dU UQ6 present
status of the Mormon situation. Much. he
said, is required and demanded by the four
Federal officers and the present incumbents,
he said, are valuable men. In regard to the
present situation in Utah, he said that.
although things at present were compare
lively quiet, yet secret association would
establish dangerous state of affairs, and
therefore the presence of troops seems
necessary, and besides, they might as well
be stationed there as anywhere.
The Judge said that in his opinion the
political institution, rather than the bond of
polygamy, was necessary first to be over
thrown to destroy the Mormon hierarchy.
Two measures were necessary, the first be-
ing the entire disfranchisement of the Nor
mon people, or the creation of legislative
commission for the control of Utah. He
goes to Washington in the interest of the
Gentiles, and looks upon the amended Ed
munds bill disfranchising Mormons with
favor, but claims that it does not 90 far
enough. So far, one hundred convictions
have been obtained. 1t is thought that
George Q. Cannon has gone to Mexico or
the Sandwich Islands. The Judge thinks
that natural immigration to Utah will not
change the Mormon complexion.

TARIFF REFORMERs DIsGUsTED

Speaker Carlisle is quoted as saying
that he will not venture to predict what
kind of tariff bill will be reported from
the Ways and Means Committee, but he
believes some sort of tariff legislation will
pass the House this session. On the
other hand, as noted in the press dis
patches, Representative Hewitt has about
reached the conclusion that no tariff
measure OF any kind can be put through
the House at present, and the other lead
ing revenue tinkers have little hope of
eftecting any general revision of the tariff
this session
1t is expected, however, that the WAYS
and Means Committee will this week
report some kind of measure, though
the general belief is that it will be killed
Immediately, The opposition of the
Southern members to the Morrison
bill-the one which provides for tax
ing the tariff off lead ores-has decided
the Democratic members of the Ways
and Means Committee to leave iron ore,
iron, lead ores, lead, and the other
metals, untouched, but to place wool
on the free list, and to reduce the tariff
on woolen goods. 1t is thought that by
emasculating the bill to this extent, the
Southern members will see their way
clear to support the measure, but the
general sentiment seems to be adverse to
it in any form.
1t is safe to predict that a general re-
vision of the tariff will not be accom-
plished at this session of Congress.

THE KEYNOTE OF SOLUTION.

Judge Baskin strikes the keynote of So
luton when he says that "the political
institution, rather than the bond OF
polygamy, is necessary first to be over
thrown to destroy the Mormon hier-
archy." That is the conclusion which all
thinking people here have arrived at.
Compel the Church to loose its grip on
the throat of the State it has held pros
trate for quarter of century past, and
the looping off of the polygamy excres-
cence will be comparatively easy task.
Polygamy is a monstrous evil, it is
true, but after all it is the incident and
outgrowth of a still greater evil-the
Church despotism which dominates the
State-without which it could not flourish.
The skilled physician seeks for the con-
stitutional arrangements which develop
what at first glance appear to be all
ments of local nature only, and having
found the seat of the disease, proceeds to
cure the surface troubles by prescribing
for the constitutional ills. So, in their
treatment of the Mormon case, our legis-
lative doctors at Washington must, to
effect permanent cure, treat the disease
itself and not the symptoms. Destroy
the ecclesiastical despotism which domi-
mates the local government, and polyg-
amy will naturally fall into decay, since
it is but the symptom which indicates
the presence OF the real evil.
The Woodburn bill, we believe, would
prove an all-sufficient remedy for Utah
ills. Its provisions strike at the very
root of the disease, and their application
would in one short year effectually cure
what century's treatment of symptoms
would only aggravate and irritate with
out doing any good whatever. If Mr..
Baskin shall be successful in securing for
this bill the favorable consideration
which its merits entitle it to at the hands |
of Congress, he will place Utah, and in
deed the nation, under an obligation to
him which can never be fully repaid.

ANENT THE GOVERNORSHIP,

As noted elsewhere in these columns,
hon. X. N. Baskin was interviewed in
Chicago on Sunday last by representa-
tive OF the Herald of that city. The
newspaper man reports Mr.. Baskin as
courteously acceding to his request for in
formation, and unreservedly stating his
views on the topics which are all-absorb-
ing to us in Utah at the present time.
Mr.. Baskin is reported as saying that
he Acknowledged the propriety of the
demand made by the President for Gov
ernor Murray's resignation" As good
Democrat, of course he could not do

GENERAL JOHN A. McCLERNAND.

The Tribune of this morning prints 6
special dispatch from Washington ir
which the correspondent names General
John A. McClernand of Illinois, as most
likely to be Governor Murray's sue.
cessor. The fact that General McCler.
nand has been summoned to Washington
at the Presidents invitation, is pretty
good indication that Federal Office OF
some kind awaits that gentleman's ac-
ceptance, and there is reason to believe
that it will be Utah office, too.
Were it not for the fact that in the revo-
luton which is shortly to sweep over this
Territory, the Utah Commission is likely
to soon become thing of the past, we
should think that the Craftsmanship of
that body-which has been offered to
him-would be preferred by Cen
eral McClernand to the Office
of Governor, since the duties of
the Commissioners are even less
onerous than those devolving upon the
Governor, and the salary is nearly twice
that allowed to Territorial Executives.
But in view of the probable speedy disso-
luton of the Commission, over which
General McClernand certainly would not
care to preside for few months at most,
it is not unlikely that he may conclude
to accept the Governorship.
General McClernand is Democrat to
the backbone, with record both as citi-
zen and soldier of which any man might
well feel proud. If he shall conclude to
become Utah's Governor, all the interests
of this great Territory will be safe in his
supervising hands, and the good work of
Americanizing Utah will continue with
unabated yipor.

John Lovelan was arrested last evening
by Detectives Keneally and Daily and
and locked up on the charge of as
saulting a man named johnson with a
dangerous weapon. The row took place
two weeks ago at the Jockey Club
saloon, 153 East Seventh street. and the
dangerous weapon was beer bottle, which
cut an ugly but not necessarily serious
wound i'm Johnson's head. The wounded
man went to the Office Of Drs. Quinn and
Murphy and had the wound sewed up, and
was told TO come again in
three days and have it attended
to. He did not go again

RUPTURE FEARED.
The Cabinet Not Pleased With Glad
stones Propositions.
Special to the Globe.


LONDON, March 14.-It is generally be-
lieved that Mr.. Gladstone has at last I'M
folded his Irish policy to the cabinet.
Council was held in his bedroom on Mon
day and Saturday in his drawingroom,
and at both, if rumors from we'll
informed quarters are right, the project of
a subordinate parliament for Ireland was
submitted. As consequence the report
as l cabled-is that two members of the
ministry have offered their designations, but
this news is doubtful. The reference is to
Chamberlain and Trevelyan, and it will
surprise some of the strongest supporters
of the former if he does not stay, while
the latter is swayed by Spencer.
That an Irish parliament is intended can
scarcely be doubted any longer. Wolver-
ton, the postmaster general, distinctly said
yesterday that the time for half measures
had passed, and it is very notable that the
lord lieutenant Of Ireland, replying to the
Unionist addresses presented to him, has
never said one word in favor of the union.
To appreciate this fact it should be known
that before he went to Ireland, he had
AN INTERVIEW
of three hours duration with Gladstone on
the subject of his official speeches. The
determination at the Dublin mansion house
is also significant. for Lord Aberdeen was
not only most cordial to the lord mayor,
but asked to be introduced to and cOnversed
with Davitt. The effect of all this on the
Irish public has been twO-fold. 1t has
produced the stiffness born of coming
triumph in the popular ranks, and it is
causing wholesale conversions among the
LOyalists. whose object all along has been
to be on the winning side. In parliament
cordial relations exist, and are becoming
more and more cordial between English
radicals and the Irish. The latter are helping
the former in the divisions and the union on
Thursday eliminated in successful attack
on the squandering of money on royal
parks, while the same combination has all
but wrecked the church establishment in
Wales. In return the Liberal members
freely talk in favor of home rule. Thus an
opportunity for
SPREADING IRISH VIEWS
in England that has never existed before
is opening up, and next Wednesday it will
be availed of by no less than sixty Irish
members speaking simultaneously in as
many places in England and
Scotland. The importance of
the occasion demands the. greatest
circumSpection from the Irish party, and
last night, therefore, meeting of the party
decided the line to be taken on the Irish ma
tional festival by every speaker. That line
will be to insist that home rule does not
mean dismemberment. and that the
Orauge threats amount to nothing.
understand that everywhere the Irish
meetings will be attended by leading Liber-
ais. Their discipline of the party is splen-
did, and nothing can exceed the desire of
every member to be up to time, and TO talk
or be silent as necessity requires. The
Orangemen on their part are getting more
and more furious, but their extravagant ca
pers and the asinine talk of Churchill has

No Terms. But Good Prospects.


MILWAUKEE, Wis, March 14.-The re-
port that the Chicago, Milwaukee & ST. Paul
and Wisconsin Central roads had come to
some agreement IN regard to the terminal
facilities here for the st. Paul and Eastern
business of the latter road is denied at the
general offices of the ST. Paul road. General
Manager Miller said to your correspondent,
when approached on the subject:
The report that the two roads have come to
terms is incorrect. / can say but little on
the subject. In fact, nothing ought 10 be
said, as the whole matter must go before the
St. Paul directors before any arrange
ment can be made. The recent
talk between Mr.. Tucker and Mr..
Finney was entirely informal. When
the Central people first preferred a request
for new contract, i outlined in a general
way the terms on which the st. Paul would
take fresh contract. This was accepted by
the Wisconsin Central people as fair and
equitable. 1t is on the basis of this outline,
which includes terminal facilities for local
and competitive points, that Mr.. Tucker and
Mr.. Kinney have been working. They have
progressed so far as TO formulate memo
randum. This, however, must go before the
board OF directors. What action they will
take on IL, of course, cannot say. At pres
ent Mr.. Mitchell Is away, as is also Mr.. Wads-
worth, and the matter win certainly not be
taken un hefore their return.
