BISMARCK MISTAKEN.

1t is not at all complimentary to tue new
administration that the Germans expect
that the trouble between them and Ameri-
cans will soon be anicably settled, now that
there has come Il change Of men and parties
in control of the republic. There is only
one way in which there can be an adjust
ment that will be honorable and satisfactory
TO Americans, and that is by the Germans
making humble apology and backing
squarely down from the position assumed
by the bumptious consul, Herr KNAPP. If
BISMARCK thinks President HARRISON
and Secretary BLAINE will be less
strict on these points than were CLEVELAND
and BAYARD he must entertain the opinion
that the former are less American and less
careful of the rights of American citizens
than the latter. There has been but one
sentiment in this country since the receipt
of news of the trouble in Samoa. Every
American has held to the opinion that Ger
many should apologize or fight. The late
administration was understood to be in
hearty sympathy with that idea, and the
present administration will have to work
in harmony with it, or accept popular cen
sure.
1t is not a question of what
are Germany's or the United States inten-
tons with regard to the Samoan islands.
Germany may in time acquire the owner
ship of those islands, and may do it without
the protest of America, but citizens Of the
United States who had an undisputed right
to be on the islands were insulted, and put
to trouble and expense by the order Of the
German representatives, which matter can
be made right only in the manner sug-
gested An administration which would
accept a settlement on any other terms
could not well stand up under the adverse
Censure

THE sEMI-CIvILIzED INDIANS.

When the remnants Of the once powerful
Indian tribes east Of the Missouri river
were located in what is called the Indian
Territory, it is reasonable to suppose that
every man in the United States in whose
nature existed any of the milk Of human
kindness, hoped that these children of the
forest and prairie, once the sovereign
owners Of this goodly land, America, had
found resting place for their weary feet,
that they were no more to be disturbed,
but to live in peace on the lands ceded to
them by the nation, and there work out
their destiny, either to sink by slow decay
before the wasting influence of evil habits
contracted by contact with our Christian
civilization; or, if happily they should sur
vive the contact and form habits of in
dustry and drink into the spirit of Ameri-
can institutions, form a state in our union.
That the first fate was considered a proba-
bility is evident from the fact that in the
treaties with the Indians it was provided
that if the Indians should become extint t
the lands granted should revert to
the United States. That the second
was possible, is evident from
the uniform peace in which these yari-
Gus tribes have lived while in close proxim-
ity to each other for many years, and from
the progress in civilization which they have
made. Slow, indeed, the progress has been,
yet it was full of hope and promise. But
the forces which have operated against the
red mantle rapacity and superior cunning
of the white man-have followed him to the
home appointed to him by the general gov
eminent and promise to dispossess him of
that poor pittance Dissolute white men,
enchanted by the fair land set apart for the
Indian. and knowing with what ease and
profit they could practice upon the simple
minded red man, professed friendship for
him they never felt and obtained permits
sion to settle on his lands. Stockmen made
agreements with the Indians for the use Of
their lands for grazing purposes-agree-
ments which investigation has proven they
never meant to keep, which they have not
kept. Meantime, reports are sent abroad of
the fertility and wealth of the land possess
ed by the Indians, petitions flood congress
TO throw open the lands to settlers, and ne
eotiations are set in motion to obtain the
soil.
From the dispatches published in yester-
davis HERALD it win be seen that the sum
of 81. 9l2, 24S was appropriated by the late
congress to pas u full he Seminole nation

ANOTHER FAILURE.

Now comes the well-known actress,
MAGGIE MITCHELL, with her testimony that
marriage is a failure After a courtship
extending over fourteen years, MAGGIE
married man named PADDOCK. This was
twenty-one years ago, and now Maggie is
seeking divorce in a New York court.
One would naturally think that in the
course of fourteen years of making
two people would be able to learn enough
of each other to say whether or not mar
riage was the proper step in their cases. 1t
seems that in this instance it required not
only this protracted courtship, but twenty
one years of married life during which
time daughter has grown'to be 10 years
old and son II, to find an answer to the
question agitating the mind of the great
public. The husband gives it out that
he will oppose the divorce to the
bitter end, basing his opposition on the al
legged fact that he has been true and loyal
husband and never given occasion for her
to desire separation. His real objection
to the separation, however, lies in the cir
cumstance that his wife has accumulated a
snug fortune which he wants TO share. If
she will divide he will make no quarrel, but
she proposes to keep her own and get rid Of
him. MAGGIE MITCHELL is fifty-seven
years old.

COLONEL TRUMBO FOR GOVERNOR,

THE HERALD's Washington special, this
morning, gives partial list of Pacific
Coast politicians who are applicants for
federal offices in the gift of the president.
Among the names appears n, of Colonel
ISAAC TRUMBo, of San Fran SEQ in connec-
ton with the Utah governorshil. Ne know
nothing of this matter more than appears
in the dispatch, but as the Washington
correspondent is understood to be familiar
with the aspirations and doings of the west,
the presumption is that the information
he sends may be relied upon as
correct. THE HERALD can say, knowing
Colonel TRUMBo as it does, that he would
come as near to being acceptable to all
classes of citizens as anv gentleman who
has been suggested as having an eye on the
Office While he is good republican and
an earnest party worker, his partisanship
has never driven him from the position of
fairness. His familiarity with the terri
tory and his perfect knowledge O. the local
situation, politically and socially, together
with his well-known regard for justice,
happily qualify him for the peculiar and
important duties of the office.
AS remarked, THE HERALD knows abso-
lutely nothing of Colonel TRUMBo,s ambf-
ton and aspirations in this connection, but
we do knowthat he contributed much toward
the success of his party in California last
year, that he stands high with republicans,
and that if he desires the Office he will be
very apt to get it. Our belief is that he
would make an honest and successful Gov

THE HUNGRY HORDE.

The administration is just four days old,
and our correspondent wires that there are
1900 men in Washington seeking offices.
Only a small percentage of the office
hunters, probably not one in hundred,
will go to the capital, only the more clamor-
GUS and the more hungry putting in an ap-
pearance, while the grand army stay at
home, using the mails and influential
friends to bring it into notice. The demo
Gratis were pretty hungry four years ago;
they had been feeding on husks and chaff
twenty-four years, and naturally they
craYed something more substantial; but
after the long famine they were less raven
GUS than are the republicans to-day, who
nave endured only four years of leanness.
1t is heavy load which President HAERI-
son has accepted, and one which he will be
fortunate if he holds up under. 1t is i'm
probable and impossible that he can put
into ONCE more than handful of the 1000
fellows now in Washington and pursuing
him with their petitions and appeals for
place; mayhap one hundred of the
army will receive commissions within a
month, or at the rate of three day, and the
others will go home Disguised with the
president and disheartened, or will linger
about the capital hanging to slender hopes
and patiently chasing the vanishing bow of
promise. Neither party loyalty nor pa
The Salt Lake herald. [volume] (Salt Lake City [Utah]) 1870-1909, 1889-03-08

triotism can close the mouths nor quiet the
tongues of the disappointed who can prove
to their own satisfaction that they have
won the offices which are denied them. The
democrats were several months in making
up their minds to find fault with President
CLEVELAND for not turning the rascals out
and releasing to the party the fruits of the
victory they had won. Not many weeks
will pass before republicans will be heard
condemning HARRISON for his ingratitude
and his failure to reward the men who
made him president. The host assembled
at Washington forebodes the breaking of a
violent storm.

THE NEW MINISTER.

The dispatches, yesterday, announced
that Sir JULIAN PAUECEFORTE, the new
British minister to the United States,
would start for Washington about the last
Of the month. Sir JULIAN PAUNCEFoRTE,
G. C. NJ G., was born at Munich, Bavaria,
on September 13, 1923, and was educated in
Paris, Geneva and Marlborough college.
He was admitted to the London bar in 1852,
and subsequently practiced at the Hong
Kong bar. He has held the following po-
sitions: Secretary of state for the colonies
under Lord PALMERsToN; attorney general
for Hong Kong, chief justice of the supreme
court at Hong Kong, and eX-officio member
of the executive and legislative council;
chief justice of the Leeward islands; as
sistant under-secretary for the colonies !;
under-secretary of the foreign office, sue
ceeding the late Lord TENDERDEN; made a
knight commander of the order of ST.
Michael and St. George: created a com
mander of the bath; received the grand
cross of the order of st. Michael and St.
George He was married in 1859 and has a
family of children. He has never held a
position in the regular diplomatic service.
1t was rumored at one time that Sir JOHN
MACDONALD, of Canada, would be appointed
to fill the vacancy of Lord SACKvILLE. That
would have been a commendable act by
Lord SALISBURY in more ways than one. 1t
would have been a plain intimation to the
colonies that they were recognized in the
imperial politics of the British empire; it
would have given England a minister at
Washington whose weight of character
would have ensured him more respect than
Sir JULIAN PAUNCEFoRTE can possibly COM
mand, and, finally, because of his knowl-
edge of American politics, it would have
rendered such episodes as the SACKvTLLE
affair impossible.

GENERAL p EDWARD CONNOR gets his
name into the list of PacifccCOast aspir-
ants to Office which our Washington cor
respondent sends out this morning. The
general is ambitious to be United States
marshal for Utah, though if ne shall fail in
that he will probably be glad to accept any
other position with a salary attached to il
which the president may have hanging
around loose. The only qualification for
the Utah marshalship which General Cox
NOR possesses, and the one which he and
his friends will press most earnestly as a
reason for his appointment, is his insane
and unreasonable hatred of the great ma
iority of the people. If a mans fitness for
the administration of the laws in this ter
ritory is to be gagged by the intensity OF
his hatred of the men who have made it
possible for others to reside here, General
CoNNoR should have any Office to which the
president can appoint; but under no other
conditions or circumstances should he have
any Office requiring ordinary intellectual
capacity and average executive ability.

LABOR STATISTICS.

The labor troubles of late years and the
conflict between the wage-earners and the
wage-payers, have induced the putting
forth of an effort by the authorities to as
certain the cause for the dispute with the
view to the correction of the evil. Not
only has congress given considerable at
tention to the subject by providing for in
vestigations and inquiries into the indus
trial affairs of the people, but the states
have taken the matter in hand and are en-
deavoring to devise plans for the equitable
adjustment of the periodical quarrels To
this end provision has been made in
several of the states for inquiries into the
condition of labor, and every little while
the reports are published 1t is almost
invariably the case that these reports
show an improvement in the condition of
the working classes; that labor is doing
better than ever before, and that capital
is less remunerative than formerly.
Mr.. HoTCHKIss, commissioner of labor
for Connecticut has recently issued his
report, which is especially interesting be
cause it shows the relative profits of cap
ital and labor The commissioner
was permitted to examine the ac-
counts of firms representing one
third of the capital invested in the
industries of the state, and from the figures
thus obtained he ascertained that the profit
of manufacturers upon the value Of goods
made in 1887 was 59l per cent, while the
average profit of the IS 900 operatives who
made these goods was 800, the average an
nual earnings of each-men, women and
children-being S412.
Accompanying the report is u table eX-
hibiting the relative wage rates in 1860 and
1887. In the twenty-seven years there has
been an average advance of the wages
of men amounting to ~ per cent,
and of women to 81 per cent. This
does not include the gain made
by labor through the shorter hours it is
employed, the working day in 1860 being
much longer than in 1887.
Mr.. HoTCHKIss also makes an exhibit of
the cost of the necessaries of life in the
two years named. There was decrease
in the cost of dry goods of 80 per cent.
while the cost Of groceries increased lO19
per cent. and meat So per cent. Operatives
spend One-half of their earnings for food,
One-fourth for clothing, one-eighth for rent,
and one-eighth for fuel and luXuries. Six
eighths go for necessaries, the cost Of VIII n
has steadily increased since 1860 The in
crease of wages, however, has been largely
in excess of the aggregate increase of the
cost of necessaries, showing that
the condition of labor has steadily
improved, and the earning power
of capital has decreased, so far as
Connecticut is concerned What IS true in
that state will probably hold good as to all
the New England states, while in the mid
die states and in the west, the condition of
labor is even better than it is in the east

their esteem for these gentlemen increased
by learning that both are applicants for
Office under the new administration, the
first named desiring to represent this gov
eminent as minister to Spain, and EsTEE
asking place on the interstate commerce
commission These gentlemen were aspir-
ants to loftier positions; they desired and
expected cabinet portfolios, and their ambi-
ton was laudable. To come in now and
ask or accept something else will be con-
fession that it is Office with its emoluments
rather than honors which they are seeking.
