OUR LOCAL CANDIDATE.

II the President should conclude to ap-
point Colonel S. A. Merritt as Governor
of Utah, his action would meet with the
heartiest approval of the local Democracy,
simply because they believe that he
would be the right man in the right
nlace--a bona fole resident of the Terri
tory, staunch Democrat, a lawyer OF
acknowledged ability, and man who,
knowing the needs OF the hour, would he
found ever ready to perform his whole
duty.
1t is to be regretted that the President
should hesitate to appoint local candi-
date for this office when the choice lies
between such IL man as Colonel Merritt
and some nonresident who has abso-
lutely no knowledge OF the anomalous po-
ltical and social conditions existing in
this Territory. True, few months eX-
perience in office would, perhaps, obviatc
the objection which properly lies against
the appointment OF n nonresident, but
how much better would it be for us all If
the Presidents choice should fall upon
one who, by long residence in the Terri
tory and experience gained from actual
observation OF daily happenings in Utah,
knows the situation here like book.
As rule, the Federal officials sent to
Utah have not always been what may be
termed superior men, and in too many
instances they have been given office
without reference to their qualifications
for the same, but simply as q reward for
services rendered in political campaigns
back East. This is all wrong, and was
so recognized by the Democratic party
when its representatives, in national con
vention assembled, inserted n plank ir
the party platform declaring that "the
selection of Federal officers for the
Territories shonld be restricted tc
citizens previously resident therein >
In view OF all this, how could i
be possible for President CLEVELAND
to better fill the gubernatorial chair o
Utah than by the appointment of Colone
Merritt, who, in addition to being bon,
file resident OF the Territory, possesse
all the other needed qualifications, AM
would undoubtedly discharge the dutie
OF the office as becomes Democrat an
apltriot, and man Of intelligence an
tact among a thousand?
President Cleveland has it in his powe
to give Utah the best Executive she eve
had, and we trust he will do SO by nam
ing Colonel S. A. Merritt for that pos

CONCLUDED AT LAST.

At last the curtain has been rung down
on the obstruction farce played on the
floor OF the United States Senate, and the
Edmunds resolutions in the Duskin case
have been disposed Of The dispatches
of last night state that, after grand
oratorical whoop-up by Messrs. Ingalls,,
Logan, Harrison and Edmunds, the rcso-
lutions were separately voted upon and
adopted.
The first resolution, embodying the
majority report from the Judiciary Com
mittee which maintains the right of the
Senate to call for all the papers in the
Duskin suspension case, was adopted by
vote of 80 to 20. The second resolu-
ton, condemning the refusal OF Attorney
General Garland to transmit the papers
called for by the Senate, was adopted by
a majority of seven votes; and the third
resolution, declaring it to be the duty oil
the Senate to refuse its advice and con-
sent to the proposed removal OF officers
in cases where the papers are withheld
by the heads OF Departments, under the
Presidents direction, was agreed to by a
majority OF one only, three Republicans
voting with the Democrats in opposition
thereto.
This agony being over, the COUNT will
now feel like asking OF the Republican
majority in the Senate,-"What are you
going to do about it?" The President de-
cines to transmit to the Senate and the
heads OF departments, acting under the
Presidents directions, decline to send il
Tor the Senate's consideration such prl
vate and unofficial papers rs may largel,
influence the suspension or removal o
Republican officials By these resolu
tions the Republican majority in the Sen
ate censure the actions OF the Prcsiden
and the Attorney-General, and say the,
will refuse to confirm any more nomna
tions in certain cases, unless all tn,
papers upon which the suspensions ar
made are laid before them for their con
sideration. Thus the issue is made up.
We do not suppose that the Preslden
and Attorney-General Garland are goin
to worry themselves to death because {
the adoption OF these resolutions and tn
expressed determination of the Reput
lican majority to adhere to their unwai
ranted obstruction policy. One thing
certain, neither OF them will or can b
impeached, since the requisite two-third
vote OF all the members present wi
never be cast in favor of impeachment
unless the Democratic Senators al
caught mapping when they should be o
duty-and that will hardly be locke
upon as possibility.
Well may the country ask k,-"Wha
are they going to do about it?"

WON'T GO TO NEVADA.

The Virginia (Nev.) Chronicle takes no
stock in the very thin story recently tele-
graphed all over the country to the effect
that the Mormons contemplated moving
over the line from Utah into Nevada in
such numbers as to enable them TO cap
ture the political control OF that common
wealth, and then, from behind State lines,
show their contempt for the General Gov
ernment in openly continuing the unlaw-
full practices which have characterized
their conduct in this and other Territories.
The Chronicle says "the Mormons will
not move into Nevada en- masse. Be-
sides, they have too much at stake in
Utah. The fight will be finished there.
Sooner or later the Saints will have Il
revelation against theocracy and polyga-
my, and then the end will come"
The Chronicle is correct. The Saints
have altogether too much at stake tc
make it possible for them to seriously
contemplate anv such move, and the
fight between them and the General Gov.
ernment will undoubtedly be fought to I;
finish right here in Utah. If an exodus
has been or is contemplated at all, it will
be OF the polygamous element only, and
the new Zion will not be located in
United States territory. There is nc
ground for fear that the Mormons have
their eye upon the State of Nevada, fo
they must know that, even were they en-
trenched behind the lines OF State un
der their political control, they would
never be permitted to continue in thos,
practices which are abhorred OF all civil
lied nations, and the indulgence in whicl
has brought upon them so much trouble
in this and other Territories.

The New York Sun OF the 22d inst, ,
has special dispatch from Washington, in
which Senator Edmunds is quoted as fol-
lows in replying to a member of the
Woman Suffrage Party, who protested
against the clause in the anti-po-
lygamy law DISTINGUISHING women;
"If you and your associates understood the
state of things in Utah, am sure you would
support instead of oppose the provision to
relieve the women of Utah from the degra-
dation of voting as their Mormon masters
require" He also said that the state of the
law was such that it was impracticable to
disfranchise Mormon women without in

WHAT WILL BE DONE?

Ii the Republican majority in the Sen
ate conclude to carry cut their obstruction
policy to the bitter end, as indicated by
the latest dispatches, they will adjourn
without confirming very large number
of appointments which have been sent in
by the President There is little lik eli
hood that the President will concede to
the Senate one inch of ground in the po-
sition he has taken; he is not that kind
of President Believing himself in the
right and the Senate in the wrong, he
will rosin his hands anew and take still
firmer grip on the tail of his Constitu-
tional prerogatives, and from what the
country already knows of him, there is
every reason to believe that he will hold
on to his privileges until sheol freezes
over, or until his term of office shall ex-
pire.
An interesting phase OF this contro-
versy is the position in which numerous
office. holders are left-nominated by the
President yet unconfirmed and with no
prospect OF confirmation by the Senate,
but who have assumed the duties of the
offices to which they have been nomi-
mated. AT the adjournment OF the pres
cnt session of the Senate, the commits
sions of all such unconfirmed officials vii
expire, and ii the President desires
to keep them in office, it vii
be necessary for him to recon
mission them. 1t may be tina
the Executive can "circumwent" the OBJ
structionists by continuing to commission
his men anew mt the expiration OF each
session OF the Senate, and thus keep up ;
running fight in which he must in thu
end come out victorious.
The fight is a very pretty one, as
stands, and the next move of the prime
pals will be awaited with much Interest

Sarah Bernhardt's Latest Failure.

Paris letter to London World: There
is nothing more disagreeabe than to be
obliged to speak evil OF efforts which ones
svmpathies would prefer to admire. Such
has been our case with regard to the re-
cent creations OF Sarah Bernhard. Her
Lady Macbeth did not increase her glory;
her Marion Delorme was failure, and
now her Ophelia has proved to be very
third-rate performance. Sarah Bern
hardt conceives Ophelia as dreamy,
grimacing and affected creature. The
Ophelia of Shakespeare is a maiden
whose pure and noble instincts are
simply instincts; her character is
unformed; her character, as a
French critic has observed Justly, is to
have no character. Sarah Bernhard,
on the contrary, gives us an Ophelia
whose voice, whose smile, whose every
attitude is simply the voice, smile and at
| titude of the Sarah of late years-the
Sarah of the monotonous golden voice
now, alas sadly worn-and OF the SER
pentine and little caress, the Sarah OF
Theodora in short. This mannerism Of
voice and gesture, the artifice of the
smile, the conscious play of soft coquettish
glances, the slow and feline turning OF
the head-all these elaborate means
are shocking in the rendering
of the parsonage OF Ophelia-
"la cdndice Ophelie," as two inn
prudent young poets dare to call her
The physical appearance of Sarah Bern
hardt is also unsuited to the role. Hel
withered and lean arms, her face with its
strongly-develope anatomy, and hei
neck, which has no longer the round deli
cacy OF virginia. youth, destroy all illusion
Her makeup, too, was most unartistic
Her long, blonde wig resembled the
cheap accessory Of travelling waxworl
show, and her face was Redeemed with Mt
more deicacy than barber's figure in {
Clerkenwell hairdressing saloon.

concerned, he would be welcome to spark
half-a-dozen red-headed widows, If he
would only leave off lally-gagging long
enough to attend to the duties OF his Of
flee. And there is no denying the force
of that argument.
In this connection, we note that an
effort is to be made to turn Mr.. Jones's
muchly-fxed attention from the pinnacle
OF all-tired love, down TO the very earthly
proposition OF stopping his pay for not at
tending to his Senatorial duties. II, how
ever, it be true that the Senator's gone"
on his red-headed divinity to the ex-
tent that some people say he is,
his pay might be stopped and be hanged
to il, and lie would be no true Amer lean
il he didn't hang on to the widow all the
more. But it is asserted, again, that it
is too late to raise the pay question now,
since Jones has drawn his salary
all along with great regularity. If
that be so, and considering the likeli-
hood OF his having spent con
siderable portion of it on his widow
then that does but mark the business as
well as the love-making capabilities o.
the Senator, for il he gets the million
dollars and the widow to boot, it is plaiI
that the money he is now expending i
only being put out at an excellent rate o
interest.
Senator Jones is evidently no fool, evel
il he is United States Senator, and tina
is testified to by the million dollar
stacked up in the background of his low

JONES AND THE WIDOW,

The newspapers of the whole country
have been poking fun at Senator Jones,
of Florida, because OF his persistency in
following up some red-headed millionaire
widow, and bestowing all his attentions
upon her to the neglect OF his duties as a
Senator of the United States. This is a
free country, and Senator Jones has II
perfect right to worship the widow ii
he chooses. and she does not object,
But the Florida press is quite outspoken
in the matter, and some OF the journals
of that State hint that, so far as they are

That gas can b Manufactured in Washington

That gas can be manufactured in Washington
and sold At handsome profit for very much
lsss than its present cost to the people OF this
city, IL 10 not necessary to have a congressional
inquiry to demonstrate. Whether the investi-
cation now In progress at the Capitol will result
In securing the proper reduction In price to
consumers remains to be seen; but 1t Is difficult
TO conceive now that conclusion can fail TO be
reached II the inquiry 10 intended to be exhaus-
tive, and the members OF the committee are
earnest In their efforts 10 arrive at the truth in
the premises, and determined to apply
remedy where one Is needed, as II must be as
sumed they are. There is, however, another
point Involved in the matter, which should not
be overlooked in this inquiry. The charge
against the gas company Ia not alone that 1t
charges too much TOR the gas 1t furnishes, but
also that the quality Of the article IL supplies is
bad In Itself, and destructive In its effects upon
other objects in the rooms where it In consumed.
The common complaint that the gas Is impure
and Of Tar less power an Illuminating agent
than IL ought to be, Is, We are aware, met by
the perfunctory certificate on the face of the
monthly gas bills; but this evidence is worth
absolutely nothing As against the disAgreeable
experience OF all bOusehOldiny gas consumers.
Every person who uses gas in any occupation
requiring clear strong light knows perfectly
well that its illuminating quality Is nothing
near what it should be, while for the most con-
vineing proofs OF its impurity,-arisingw wholly
from the use OF naphtha and other improper
material II Its nianufacture,-they have only TO
look at the walls, ceilings and articles OF gilt,
bronze, ETC., in the rooms where 1t Is consumed,
and to observe how difficult IL is aud at times
almost impossible to turn the keys attached to
the burners, account of the gummy sub
stance deposited in the pipes. Do not, there
fore, Messrs. congressman. consider the matter
N price only, but give US better gas, az well as
