REAL DEMOCRACY.

1t looks very much as though we were
getting back to the first principles when
we read that in a congressional district of
New York city man who three weeks
ago was driving an ice wagon and making
a scanty living thereby, has been nom
mated for member of Congress. His name is
CHARLES H. TURNER, and he will run prob
ably against Republican millionaire. Of
course he is Democrat, nominated by
Democrats. The other party is not only
the party of consolidation, Capitalization
and corporate power, but is also against
the working man and all his interests, ex-
eept when comes the time for voting, and
then their regard for him is so much lip
service very indifferently performed at
that.
The Republicans are making the cam
paign against Mr.. TURNER purely personal
one, since thereby they hope to attract the
plutocracy and shoddy aristocracy of the
district. They have made no points
against his fitness, his education,
his general ability or anything of
that kind, for the simple reason
that they could not. The man, notwith-
standing his humble calling, is well edu-
Gated, well posted on political affairs and
one of the best speakers in the country.
He ought to draw to his support the labor

DIVORCES DISCUSSED.

ject of divorce-one each from Bishop
POTTER, Cardinal GIBBONS and ROBERT G..

fers severely when contesting point Of
principle with the better informed class of
the clergy on religious topics, for it is then
that his superficial logic and shallow rea-
soning are most thoroughly exposed but
in polemical contest in which the basis is
social and legal as well as religious
question, he appears to infinitely better
advantage, albeit even then he seems I'M
able to entirely divest himself of sophistry
and to give to his subject that far-reaching
and comprehensive method of discussion
which characterizes the efforts of the other
two.
Colonel INGERsoLL, among ether things,

is to himself; he must see to it that he does
not become burden upon others. To be

GIVE UTAH A CHANCE.

AS company the Union Paci fic made a
mistake, perhaps an innocent one, when it
gave the contract for the construction of
the first two hundred miles of the Cali
fornia branch extension to Omaha parties
without letting Utah parties have chance
to bid for the work. 1t is known that Utah
contractors have done the cheapest railroad
work ever done in the far west. Gentle
men from this country go into Colorado,
Nebraska Kansas, Montana. and other
places and readily secure grading contracts
because they are known to be honest, up
right, reliable and energetic, and because
they are not given to striving for the &C
quirement of the earth at the expense of
the laboring classes. But aside from the
question of cost, it seems to US that it was
unwise to ignore tie people of this terri
tory in this manner 1t will tend to con-
tinue the impression that is too general,
that the great railway corporation has
little interest in the welfare of Utah and
her people. At least it will not be inter
preted as showing disposition on the part
of the company to cultivate feeling of
mutual consideration and helpfulness. a
good many unfavorable comments have al
ready been heard, and comparisons are
drawn which are not creditable to the
Union Pacific. THE HERALD is not dis
posed to believe that the action was in
tended to be regarded in the light in which
so many view it. We think that the COM
pany expected that Utah people largely
would perform the labor, and that
the supplies would be furnished mostly
oy our people. If the purpose is
to discriminate against the local commu-
nifty in the matters of labor and supplies,
as was done in awarding the contract, the
resentment will certainly be of such
character as to make itself felt to the in
jury of the railroad company to which we
all have the right to look for assistance in
our efforts towards progress and develop
ment.

MORAL SUASION.

OF all the men in this country engaged in
the noble cause of temperance it is doubted
that one has done more real good than the
reformed drunkard," FRANCIS MURPHY.
In this we mean that good lies in inducing
men to stop drinking-in lessening the
consumption of liquor-in rescuing men
from the evil Of intemperance. We don't
think it amounts to much to declare in the
law that men shall not drink liquor and
become intoxicated, while all the time
men so on drinking and getting drunk.
The temperance legislation and the consti-
tional prohibitions which do not check
whisky drinking and lessen intemperance
will accomplish very little good in this
world. The inducing of drunkard to be-
come a sober, temperate man is better
than provision in state constitution for
bidding the manufacture and sale Of intox-
icants if that provision is not enforced.
Mr.. MURPHY has not gone about the coun-
try agitating for temperance legislation
and prohibitory amendments, nor has he
made the matter political one in party
sense. His aim has been to encourage to
temperance and his effort has been in that
direction. He wants to rescue and save
the drunkard, and as he once said to this
writer, to find the drunkarks one must go
where they are, and they are not in legisla-
tive halls, and in fashionable society; they
are in the cutters, and there is where one
must go if he would rescue them, as they
cannot be brought out by proxy. Remark
able success has attended Mr.. MURPHY's
efforts. Some he has induced to abstain
from intoxicants for week; others he has
kept sober for month or six months,
and there are hundreds and thousands of
men who were once drunkards but are now
and long have been total abstainers, and
who owe their salvation, their respecta-
bility and their prosperity to the gentle
but effective persuasion of this uneducated
but earnest and common sense worker.
The secret of Mr.. MURPHY's success
lies in the fact that he believes
in moral suasion, and does not
believe in legislating virtue and morality

SPEAKER REED.

the House of Representative B.
REED. of Maine-has been nominated by
the Republican caucus at Washington. We
have already stated that we do not love
REED more but his party less, and for this
reason, coupled with some others, we are
glad he is to be the next speaker.
REED is the most decidedly eastern man
in the Republican group. He is dead set
against silver, believes in the single stand
ard of METALLIC values, is not Christian
being a thorough Republican how could he
be?-and his choice means the accession tc
the Democratic cause of thousands of votes
on the Pacific slope alone the next time
the people have chance to express their
preferences.

vote of the district without distinction of
party. and we believe he will; also. that
his majority will be very large-the larger
the better, in view Of the circumstances of
his candidacy and the extra mean methods
adopted by the Republicans to defeat him.
If this were not republic, the fact that
TURNER has been working at very labor
ious calling fer a living might be used
against him. Here, except among the
mushrooms and the shoddies on enc side
and the rag, tag and bobtail on the other,
1t is not presumed to either help or hurt
him. Undoubtedly he has general qualiti-
| cations for the place, or body of such ex-
perienced and capable politicians as the
Tammany society of New York would not
have placed him in nomination for so re-
sponsible and exalted an Office, when it has
such an abundance of timber to draw upon
at any time.
The event, while being strictly in keep
Ing with the spirit of our institutions as u
democratic nation, is also fortified with
numerous conspicuous precedents. so that
even those who affect the frilled shirt and
kid glove style of apparel need not be par
ticularly offended. HENRY CLAY, who was
much greater statesman than any of his
party successors-ad admitting for the pros
ent that the Republicans were his success
sors-was mill boy and used to read books
while his grists were being ground. Tom
CoRwIN, the silver-tongued Ohioan, was an
ordinary teamster, and used to practice on
rhetorical fourishes while amid the soil
| tudes of the woods with a load for market,
and he was genuine descendent of real
| Hungarian king. GARFIELD was a canal
| driver, LINCOLN a rail-splitter and grocery
! keeper, and ANDREW JOHNSON tailor,
whose wife taught him to read and write.
| We might also in this connection mention
GROVER CLEVELAND, who was a country
school teacher, and who, within a very
few years of his elevation to the
Presidency, was county sheriff.
Greatness proceeds from the proper founda-
tion-at the bottom-in this country, and it
is as well that this important fact be oc-
casionally impressed upon US by the nomi-
nation of some such man as TURNER for
some important place.
One of the creditable achievements of
! TAMMANY in this connection is the fact that
| for once the money power is ignored. 1t
has been presumed, and with tolerable
correctness, that politics and plutocracy
| went hand in hand in New York, as well as
in many other places in the country, and
that for laboring man to presume to run
for Congress or even the state legislature
was not to be thought of, much less soberly
carried out. But here is that very event
consummated, and as if to make the situa-
ton more complete and perfect, his oppo-
nent is, as stated, an opulent resident and
therefore one who more nearly than any
other kind of person is presumed to repre-
sent the aristocratic tendencies of the
Republican party. Not only are the con-
testing organizations arrayed against each
other in form, but in substance also. The
outcome will or ought to be as gratifying
to all lovers of our institutions as it will
be pleasurable to Mr.. TURNER himself and
his constituents.

THE FABRIC CRUMBLES.

Leaf by leaf the roses fall, drop by drop
the brook runs dry.
On the heels of the partisan decision of
Judge ANDERSON, comes to The HERALD a
message freighted with matter of great
import, it being no more or less than a
complete upsetting of one point essayed to
be made by the Liberal attorneys in re the
application of MOORE for citizenship.
1t will DO remembered that one strong
point which these worthless sought to make
was an alleged homicide which was said to
have occurred at Green river "a many
years ago." in an emigrant company cap
tanned by w. H. DANE, the victims name
being WILLIAM GREEN. The attorneys for
the applicant professed their ability to pro-
duce said GREEN in court, but did not, be-
cause their machinery and appliances We're
not as perfect as those of the other side, no
preparations having been made on the side
of the People because the onslaught was so
unexpected.
''Trot him OUT was the response Of one
of the trio, man whose appearance, &C
tions and habits are suggestive of hyena,
but the People could not trot him out
Now he is trotted out. The affidavit
which appears elsewhere in this mornings
HERALD settles the case as to GREEN being
alive and well, as to the Liberal witness
WARDELL being a contemplate wretch,
and as to that precious conclave of attor-
neys being men who to make point
against the Mormons will resort to very
questionable methods.
WARDELL, by the procurement of BAs-
KIN, DICKSON and WILLIAMS, said he saw
GREEN'S throat cut at the instigation of
Mormon bishop many years ago by reason
of which carving SAID GREEN died. Now
cones the said GREEN and says in effect
that WARDELL is q perjurer and then he
provokingly leaves US to imagine what the
attorneys are.
No matter; they have carried their point
for the present only.

An EXCHANGE quotes an officer in the
New York police force as saying that every
fifth man in the force is Socialist who
sincerely believes that wealth is theft. If
this is true every fifth man should be
dropped from the ranks of ''the finest'' and
that magniicently appearing force ne
thoroughly organized. 1t is bad enough to
have Socialists as private citizens and
alien residents without encouraging and
supporting them in official positions. A
man in this country who thinks that
wealth is theft is either ignorant or a
scoundrel. There are very few rich men in
America who did not come by their wealth
honestly. TRUSTS" combines and
crookedness have made few millionaires,
but the great majority of our wealthy men
obtained their riches by hard work, econ
omy, industry and brains; most of them
began life as day laborers, and rose above
the common herd because of their better
brains and superior virtues. There was
nothing criminal or even censurable in
their acquisition of wealth; on the contrary
they gained riches by means that were
commendable and highly praiseworthy. 1t
is the man who denounces wealth honestly
acquired who is the enemy to society and
to the government.

THE OUTLOOK for Dom PEDRO, the retiring
emperor, is not so gloomy as it might be-
He has private fortune aggregating about
three million dollars, and the new republic
guarantees him an allowance of 100000 a
year. These substantial facts, together
with the other equally substantial one
that he is an old man who cannot hope
to stay above ground more than half a
dozen years, should reconcile him to his
fate, and induce him to think that after all
he has not been very hardly dealt with by
the world.

THE FESTIVE revolver continues the
deadly work, as witness the Manti tragedy
on Saturday night. There ought to be a
law against carrying concealed weapons,
or weapons unconcealed unless there is a
necessity for it and this necessity should
not bea mere excuse but an actual, exist
ing and peremptory demand, such as the
recognized presence of an avowed enemy,
man or beast, and the carrier would not
likely be safe without it. The revolver
being handy, is too often called upon when
it might be got along without.
