Harrison's Disgrncefui I" Pernicious
Activity.e

When the Chief Magistrate Of the
country causes it to be proclaimed that
he is anxious that Republicans shall
render assistance to carry elections in
new and distant States, he should not
hesitate to take the next step, and state
what the reward Of the cheerful giver
shall be. There is probably no one, not
even Mr.. Dudley himself, who, better
than Mr.. Harrison, knows about the
shameless, corrupt use Of money at the
late Presidential election; for nowhere
else was the use Of it more shameless
than in his own State. No one should
know better than he that, If this corrupt
use OF money is not stopped, elections
will speedily cease to represent the will
OF the people, and will only represent
the most infamous pollution of the bal
lot. There is no one 10 the entire
length and breadth Of the land who is
under such solemn obligations as he to
discountenance il; but he does not
do that when he causes it to be an.
bounced that 1t is no secret that he
wants the whole body Of Republicans in
the country to contribute to a campaign
fund to carry the new States for his
party. He is, by doing that, counte.
nancing, encouraging, inviting that cor.
ruption which was SO signal and dis
graceful a part of the last Presidential

custom Of all the small towns. 1t illus
trates the old national characteristic Of

Probably no nation is more governed in
trivial matters by its likes and dislikes
than is this one. The pursuit Of the al

The San Francisco, Call, a vigorous
Republican paper, says: There was
much reason to hope that Secretary
Window would correct the blunder At
torney General Miller has made in the
construction Of the Scott Exclusion Act.
The idea Mr.. Miller advanced was mn
what generally entertained in the early
days Of the Restriction Act, when both
parties were inclined to regard the Act
as o weak concession to the Pacific
Coast. The assumption that the Re-
striction Act did not exclude Chinese la
borers claiming the right Of transit is
unwsrranted by any provision in the Act
Of 1882 or Of the amended Acs OF 1884.
The Law provides that Chinese laborer.
shall not land without a certificate show.
ing former residence. The Act says
nothing about passing through the
country. All p~retense bright in this
respect rests upon department made law.
There has not been even q court decis.
ion in favor Of Chinese transit. Mr..
Miller says the Scott Act does not cover
the case at all. In this Mr.. Miller is
right. The Scott Act did not cover the
case because the case was completely
covered by the Act Of which the Scott
Act was a supplement. There was no
occasion to go over the ground that was
already covered. There have been from
time to time department rulings which
permitted Chinese laborers to land on
some kind Of a bond to get out OF the
country within a stipulated time. There
have been contrary rulings on the same
point. The Scott Exclusion Act, being
in the nature Of a more stringent enact.
ment than we had had to prevent Chi.
nese immigration, was he'd to be q sug-
g%estion to the department to construe
law as it had been written. Courts had
been in the habit Of admitting Chinese
on other evidence than that which the
law required. The Exclusion Act put a
stop to such judicial usurpation. The
Courts have accepted the situation, and
now a third. rate lawyer from Indiana
undertakes to upset the law. 1t may be
possible fol- Attorney General Miller to
upset President Harrison's Administers
ton, but we trust there is sense enough
somewhere TO bride this aspiring lawyer.
Nothing is more certain than that NO
Administration can stand in the United
States which opens our ports to Chinese
labor. The report comes from Wash
ington that Secretary Window will &C
cept Mr.. MilIer's view OF the law and
put it in practice. II he does the pres
emit Administration will have committed
it's first great blunder.

salt Lake CITY Goes Libernt-Death
KnetI OF Mormon Ruie.
S.lf \ ake Trfhnnp Auo g.

Salt Lake Tribune. Aug 6.
Hurrahi Hurrahi ! Hurrahi ! ! Tigerl
We have met the enemy and they are
ours by q majority Of ali A mighty
victory has been won. The city is re.
deemed from the hands Of the Mormon
Church that has squatted like q blight
all over the face Of this fair land for
forty years. The result was totally un-
expected. At III A. NJ, when the Nor
mons had polled three fourths OF their
vote, they were reported over 600 ahead,
and the situation seemed blue enough,
and the Liberal ticket appeared des-
tined to a dishesrtening defeat. Bat
gradually the Gentle vote crept up, up,
up; though so quietly was it that not even
the Liberal committee had any idea Of
what was coming. A Mormon majority
was expected, as the Saints had been
whooped up from way back in the ward
meeting houses during Sunday, and the
bishops. teachers and deacons had
worked like beavers to run the faithful
into the harness. The ecclesiastical
whip. spur and lash were piled right and
left, so that when the polls opened the
Saints felt sure Of holding their own.
The day passed quietly for an election
day, and at nightfall a good crowd gath.
cred at the Walker House. Everybody
was expectant and hopeful. Presently
the news came that the Fifth precinct
had gone Gentle by 279. This put the
crowd in a good humor at once, and
when the announcement was made that
the Second precinct had gone 230 Cen
tile, the crowd got excited. Then came
the word that the First precinct had
elected Frank Pierce, and then the
crowd went wild. But when they learned
Of the tremendous gains in. the Third
and Fourth Precincts and that the city
was Gentle, pandemonium itself broke
loose. A number of speeches were
made from the Walker House balcony,
and then the crowd made a grand rush
for torches, horns, cowbells. drums, can-
non, crackers and Roman candles. The
Walker House bar was opened and
healths to the r~ejuvenated city were
drunk in a cataract. Men Rugged one
another in their excitement and almost
cried for Joy. The yelling, cheering and
shouting were continuous, and an i'm
promptu procession filed through the
streets with lights OF all kinds, trans
parencies, and anything that would
make a noise. The celebrating was kept
up to q late hour.
