The wool-growers of Utah have just held
a Convention, and while the Democracy in
Congress is trying ID capture the Territory
to Bourbonism by admitting it as State
into the Union, polygamy- bighted or 9TH
erwiSe the sheep-raisers of that benighted
section are sitting uD nights to curse the
free-trade message of the Democratic Pres
ident At the Convention they adopted
resolutions strongly condemning the pro-
posed reduction of the tariff on wool, or
any other article of American production
that requires protective duty to secure the
interests of American laborers and the cap
ital upon which their labor is dependent.
If the Powers" of Europe-pardon the
inconsistency of the term-would, on all
occasions when they notice that the Gar
looks as if he was going to want something,
just simply ask him what His Most I'M
perial Highness' desires and then graciously
grant it at once, whatever it may be, 1t
would save much frequent expense to each
of the Powers" in the way of buncombe
diplomatic protests and preparations for
war" and deal of finally getting down on
their royal marrowbones in most AFFECT
submission to the complete will of the
Bear of the Russias. The last amusing IL
lustration Of this is the case of Ferdinand,
who just now is acting as the ruling SOW
ereign of Bulgaria. He did not have Rus
STA S permission in advance to occupy that
seat, and the Car indicated his disappro-
| hatinp nf Spch a racb DrOnaahinu and
gested that he abdicate forthwith Ferdi-
nand looked over the borders of his King
| dom in all directions at the Powers" to
know what he should do, and they all with
one accord nodded back, You have got
your seat, Ferdy, don't get up. but keep it,
and we will back you" The Russian Bear
proceeded to move quietly towards his
southern border with his cubs; the Pow
ers" held mysterious meetings; formed
new alliances" increased their war budg
cts, military forces and naval ornaments
and for the one-hundredth time resolved
and gave out that they would, with united
and allied front, meet and put an end, once
| for all, to the autocratic insolence and en-
| croacbments of their northern enemy. The
Bear smiled grimly, and kept quietly mov-
| ing down upon the frontier, knowing full
| well, by oft-repeated experience that when
| the supreme moment came he would have
| all thesillustrlous powers, including the
British Lion, Prince Bismarck and EN-
peror Joseph, subsequently at his feet, beg
ging pardon for their apparent antagonism,
and assuring his Bearship that they are bis
most obedient." 1t appears that the
supreme moment and the humble submits
sion of the great European " Powers" have
already come, and sooner than generally
expected. A London Times Berlin CORE
spondent telegraphed from the German
capital ON Wednesday THE Powers have
agreed to summon Prince Ferdinand,
through Turkey, to resign the Bulgarian
| throne" The Bear will now be able to
return to winter quarters until it wants
something else, and then the same piece
of royal buncombe and nauseating farce
will be repeated
