Some Of these States have developed n
strong protcctionist sentiment, accompanied
by more or less direct hostility to tho recent
policy Of certain Democratic leaders. This
has been notably the case in Alabama. Louis
lana, and West Virginia. Recent indications,
and especially those since thesSt. Louis Con-
vention do not justify the belief that Repub-
lican hopes of profting by this Southern
protectionist sentiment are any more sub
stantial than Democratic visions OF break

CONSTITUTIONAL AMEND
HEATS.

At the election this Fall the people
will be called upon to vote for or
against the adoption of eleven proposed
amendments to the State Constitution.
This fact should never be lost sight of.
Amending the fundamental law of the
State is serious question and Of too
much importance to the people to be
overlooked or lightly considered. It is
important that the question be SUBJ
mitted III such shape that au honest ex-
preston OF the popular will be obtained.
These proposed amendments will be
printed on ali the election ballots, and
unless care is taken hundreds of voters,
in the excitement of the moment, may
be deceived into voting for or against
one or all Of the amendments without
giving the subject moments thought,
and, in fuct, against their better judg-
ment. In order to insure n fair ex-
pre6si On of opinion tho ballots should
be printed in such q manner that the
voter shall be required to change his
ballot in some way SO as to show def
nitcly his opinion; OF in case he fails to
do so, that his vote shall be counted
Th ere are two safe ways by which this
can be accomplished Let the words
Eyes" anu mo" be printed utter each
proposed amendment, as suggested by
the Legislature, or leave blank for
the voter to write the word eyes" or
mo" rs his judgment may dictate. If
the Eyes" alone, or the word "No,"
alone, be printed on the ticket, hun
dreds Of them will be put into the box
by uninterested, careless voters, and
thus we shall obtain the Judgment of
the printer aud not the voter. The
printing of the tickets is generally under
the supervision of the County Central
Committees of the different parties
The public interest demands that they
have the ballots so printed that an
honest expression of opinion cnn be
had, and no voter deceived. IL Reno

THE COMMISSION.

Governor West has come out sauarely
with Recommendation that the Utah
Commission be legislated cut of exist
ence. The Edmunds law of 1882, Great
ing the Commission, provided for its
continuance until other provision be
made by the Legislative Assembly, :"
and declared that lat. or after the
first meeting of said Legislative
Assembly whose members shall
have been elected and returned
according to the provisions of
this act, said Legislative Assembly
may make such laws, conformable to
the Organic Act of said Territory and
notinconsistent with other laws of the
United States, as it shall deem proper
concerning the filling of the offices in
said Territory declared vacant by this
act" 1t was manifestly the intention
and desire or Congress that the Legis
Iature would pass law fer the
management of elections, and thus
abolish the Commission. In 1884 the
Assembly undertook to comply with the.
wishes of Congress in the premises, but
Governor Murray interposed his veto
Again, in 1886. the Legislature passed
an election law; again Murray vetoed
it. As Governor West is evidently OPP
posed to the continuance of the Com
mission, it is probable that the present
Legislature may be able to get rid of the
useless body-provided it is deemed ad-
visable to do so. There was never the
least occasion for the Commission, but
it provided fat places for five politi-
clans, and for that reason there was CD.
position to its abolition. So far as the
Territory is concerned, it matters
little whether the Commission shall go
or stay. If it shall go, the work per-
formed by it will be performed by
citizens of the Territory and paid for by
the people, whereas it now costs the
general government about SIS, 900
year to keep up the high-priced and
board.

BAD DOCTRINE.

Above all men, the religious teacher
should be careful of his utterances, and
above all protesting responsibility a. d
responsibility the religious teachers are
most reckless in their expressions
Here comes the eminent Cardinal Man
ming, the head OF the Catholic church
in England, with the assertion that "a
starving man has right to his neigh
boris bread" If the Cardinal meant
that, be should discard his hat and en-
roll himself in the ranks OF the Anar-
chists, for The doctrine here expressed
is in perfect harmony with those of the
most advanced section of that revolu-
tionary order. DR.. McGlynn was read
out of the Catholic church and dwarfed
into insignifcance for preaching less
Objectionable doctrine. What better
cry would the loafer Anarchist want
than this? ALI he asks now is that he
shall have his neighbours bread, that he
shall live in idleness on the earnings of
his thrifty fellows. tits evident that the
Cardinal talks from the hypothesis that
all men are brothers, all children of the
same Father. and that this being true,
possessions should be common; what
one holds in abundance should
be shared by all who are in
need. This may be good theoret-
ical hristianitv, but how would
it operate in teal life?
Not very well, we take it. Human ma
ture is such that fully one-half of man
kind would at once cease both mental
and physical effort, and reducing them
selves TO a condition of want, would
take board and lodging with those who
possess the means to make them
comfortable and support them in idle
ness. Every horny-handed Anarchist
in the country would at once become a
gentleman of elegant leisure, and
tramps would blossom out as the So,
cial and financial equals of anybody
There is good deal better doctrine fR
