THE OBJECTION which some have ex-
pressed to the Southern Utes coming
into Utah, on the ground that they
would drive out white settlers and
be source of annoyance and danger,
is not well taken, if we have been cor
rectly informed. The country to which
the Indians will be removed is in San
Juan County, and while it will give the
redskins room for exercise, very little
of it is worth anything to white man.
A few families, not over fifty all told,
have located along the streams, and
they are having their share of hard
work in their efforts to get living.
That the country has not been regarded
as valuable is proven by the fact that
government has never deemed it worth
while to survey it, and by the further
circumstance that so few people have
settled there. While the handful of
settlers are mere "squatters, having
no titles to the land, it Is understood
that the government will pay them for
their improvements. AS to the danger
from the Indians, it is too late in the
century in Utah to fear trouble from
the aborigines. The HERALD's infor-
nation inclines us TO the belief that the
movement will be q good one for all
concerned.

THE DELEGATE VOTE.

Ia this issue Of THE HERALD will be
found the returns by counties, from the
late election for Delegate to Congress
in this Territory. The showing is not
an agreeable one to look upon and
study, nor is there anything in it cred
liable to the people. Utah has an ad-
mitted population of over 100000, and
as voting goes elsewhere in the Repub-
lie should cast 40 900 ballots. The laws
have DISTINGUISHED perhaps 300 citi-
zens, and there are, probably, 1900
foreigu-born males of voting age who
have not yet taken out their naturali-
cation papers. The registration lists.
we understand, aggregate something
over 81, 600 names, and thsre should be
that number of votes in the Territory,
The total vote polled on the 9th instant
was H. 6S. At the corresponding cleo.
ton two years ago 22,4S3 votes were
polled, though the population and
registration have been increased mean
time. In the face of the increase the
vote has fallen of 5,437, or nearly 25
per cent.
But this is not the ugliest feature of
the business. In 1886 the Peoples vote
was 1905. or 81 per cent. of the whole,
Mr.. Gaines plurality on that occasion
being 1875, or 1857 more than the
total vote of the Territory cast on the
9Th instant. At the election in 1886,
only u per cent. OF the vote was polled
by the Liberals, Mr.. Ferry's total being
2,S10. This year the Liberal candidate
has to his credit a per cent. of the
vote, his total being 3,484, an increase
of 674; while the Peoples vote in 1888
amounts to only II per cent of the
total, being 10,117 as against 1905 in
1886, falling eff in the two years of
9,4SS, or 48 per cent. The Democratic
vote at the late election was nearly
per cent. of the whole, being 561.
THE HERALD calls attention to this
matter and analyses the vote, not with
the view to showing that the Liberals
are gaining and the People losing, for
as a matter of fact we do not believe
that is the case; We make the demon
stration for the purpose of illustrating
what negligence will do at an election,
and to impress it upon the managers of
the Peoples Party as we'll as upon the
minds of the members, that if they ex-
poet to retain political control of the
Territory there must be organization
followed by active work. The lethargy
which characterized the campaign this
year, if continued until 1890, will give
the Liberals a walk over.

case in the United States. The masses
are the rulers, the officials being the
servants to carry out the will of the
people who employ them as agents.
When the officials do wrong, when
they inaugurate a policy which is
Objectionable to the governing power
which stands back of the ballot-box
then come rebuke and dissent. We
have just experienced a striking illus
tratlon. 1t is because the people can
do this. because they can at pleasure
make the government what they will
that they are not inclined to anarchy,
or to that form of communism whose
tendency is to destroy government be
cause it is government.
1t is possible. indeed it is quite prob
able, that in some countries where
governments are oppressive and the
people are denied those rights which
civilization and intelligence Rave made
men believe belong to them as indi-
viduals and members of the CON-
munity, the popular drift. may be to
revolution or even to anarchy. Whether
or not the tendency will be checked by
the reform Of the governing power be-
fore the people declare themselves, re-
mains to be seen. In most cases we
think it will. Russia may be stubborn,
and refuse to yield until the people,
oppressed and outraged beyond endur-
ance, turn anarchists long enough to
obtain some of their rights.
But, in our opinion, there is little
cause for fear in the United States.
The trouble, if any shall come, will be
local and of short duration. The ma
jority sentiment of the American COM
munity is so wholesome that anarchy
cannot thrive in opposition to it. For
every man vicious enough IN heart to
rant over the graves of the hanged
murderers of Raymsrket fame, there
are a hundred who rejoice that the
moment the ugly anarchists became
active they were put where they would
not be dangerous. The same hun
dred stand ready to treat any other
follower of Parsons as they did him
when he shall similarly offend.
Do not let US scare ourselves, and let
US be more courageous than TO show fear
of handful of dirty, unkempt loafers
with red flags.
The Salt Lake herald. [volume] (Salt Lake City [Utah]) 1870-1909, 1888-11-17
THE ANARCHISTS.

The Anarchists have forced them
selves before the public again by their
celebration the other day in Chicago
on the anniversary of the hanging of
the Haymarket incendiaries. Inspector
Bonfeld, of the Chicago police, assumes
to know a good deal about the extent
of the order and its purposes, and he
has been talking as if he thought gov
ernments and society in.the civilized
world were in much danger. Many of
the newspapers take the same ugly
view of the situation, and are predict
ing dire things.
So far as Amerio. lie concerned, we
apprehend very little trouble from the
"leveling" element in mankind,
whether it be called Anarchists, Mini
lists, Socialists, Communists or any
thing else. Our system of government
is of such free and generous nature as
to give the quarrelsome little ground
for complaint except as against indi-
yiduals, and there are ways provided
for Furnishing and getting rid of them
when they do wrong or become often
sive. The free ballot is the guard and
protection of America, and thai ballot
being in the hands of the people the
latter are safe from the abuses
and oppression which breed enc
mics to other governments. The
time will never come when any
considerable number of men, in pro-
portion to the whole, will declare that
government of every form and kind is
wrong, and should be abolished for
anarchy and chaos. To say that such
a thing could happen would. be to say
that civilization and Christianity are
failures, and that the tendency OF man
kind is downward, whereas we all
know it is upward, this being the very
hest age of man intellectually. morally
and in the virtues generally. The
many will always know that some form
of government is essential to the pro-
lection and the well-being of the indi-
yidusl. So long as the government is
such thatit can be administered by the
governed, who are not only the
source OF authority: but the power to
maintain authority. the danger will be !
radncad to khe minimum. That Is the

A WASHINGTON special says Clerk
Clark, OF the National House of Repre-
sentatives. comedies that the Republi-
cans will have majority in the new
Congress, and two New York papers
last evening published tables showing
the election of 166 Republicans and 155
Democrats. This would leave four
members unheard from. We hope the
majority will not only be on the side OF
the Republicans. but that it will be
large enough to enable that party to do
as it will in spite of the Democrats.
With plenty of rope, the e. o. p. may be
expected to hang itself before another

chloroformer is growing morose as
the day set for his execution draws
near, and he evidently feels his sit

executive clemency, but the gener-
al opinion is that Governor More
house will allow the law to take
its course. July bone week
from to-day-has been set for the
execution.
The application for communication
of the death sentence will be made
before the Governor Monday. The
attorneys for the State will not be
present when the arguments in
support of the application are
made. Circuit Attorney Glover,
in this connection, says:
"Whatever action the Governor
takes does not concern us. That
is his business, and he alone is re-

THE NEW
Columbia Sure the Line Will be
Built.

The people over in Columbia
are now confident that the Chica-
go, Hannibal & Springfield rail-
road will be built. A surveying
corps is now encamped at Column
bia. The line has been "located"
north from Springfield and the
work of construction, it is thought,
will have commenced within a few
weeks. The idea now seems to be
that the line will cross the Mis-
souri, at VOLTS Point, pass through
Columbia, the upper part of the
"Two Mile" prairie, Mexico, Per
ry and New London.
The Columbia Herald says that
over $50, 900 have been expended
already on the work and that it is
understood hat negotiations are
being made for the early commence.
ment of active work on the line.
Mr.. Richardson, who has charge
of the Chief Engineers offices in
this city, knows nothing about
when work on the road will be
started, but thinks it only a matte,
of a few weeks. He is sure the
line will ultimately be built and
does not see why Mexico does not
stand as good a chance as ever Of
securing it.

No Temperance Plank.


The silence OF the Republican
national platform on the question
of prohibition shows evasion and
cowardice. There is a large and
influential element of the Repub-
lican party which will not readily
excuse this important omission.
They are known as the anti-saloon
Republicans, and they not only
demanded but expected some
pronounced and explicit declara-
ton, which, without committing
the party to absolute prohibition,
would at least define its attitude
as n ofsympathy with the tenn
perance cause and against the
liquor traffic. In this they were
not only disappointed, but have
reason to feel sorely aggrieved.
There is no doubt that this nom
action will lose to the Republican
party thousands of votes and rem
der more than one State doubtful
| which is now considered certain
for the Republican ticket.

Boone County Saloons Closed.

COLUMBIA, Mo, July 5.-All
saloon license in Boone county, ex-
pired on the Fourth, and none
were granted, so that not only
Columbia but the entire county OF
Boone is to-day for the first time
without an open saloon. AT the
recent Local Option election the
county voted for the sale of intoxi-
eants by over two hundred MAORI
ty, but as all the towns where sa-
looms were in existence went large

been to close every saloon in the
