stantly clamor.pg for the disfranchi sement
of the more peaceful and virtuous mcm-
bers OF the dominant party in Utah.
rho Liberal party makes the claim that
Mormons should be DISTINGUISHED because
some of them have violated the law; and
the Mormons are naturally indignant that
the party which furnishes ten times more
criminals than can be found among Nor
mon CHURCH members, and criminals of the
baser sort at that, should make such de-
nand or should pretend to a virtue and 10y
atty superior TO that of the NJ rmo
Judged by actions and we know of no
other fair criterion, the average Nor
mon Is far superior as n citizen to the aver
age advocate of his disfrancnisement, Yet
IL passes for an argument to say that the
belief OF aw-abiding Mormon is so iniuri-
Gus to the nation that he should be dis
franchised, while those whose actions are,
on an average much worse than those of the
Mormon, need not be thus dealt with, be-
cause their belief Is thought to be satisfac-
tory.
The grand difference, therefore, between
the two parties in Utah, the one compre
bending most of the professed Mormons,
the other comprea ending most of the non
Mormons, is that the former has not sought
TO restrict the rights of people for any
cause whatever, while the latter has Sc
cured the destruction of jury trial in the
true sense, the disfranchisement of women,
and is now seeking to secure the disfran-
chisenent of all its opponents, on the
ground of belief

UTAH's GLORY AND PRIDE.

The accomplished Mr.. LANNANa has
shown all the tact and finesse for which his
early training made him noted, in the mat
ter of the appointment of Utah ladies' on
the worlds fair commission. BY the time
1892 fairly opens it may begin to percolate
through his luminous understanding that
there are not only Episcopal, Methodist,
Presbyterian and Baptist ladies scattered
through Utah, but fair gathering OF Nor
mons also AS none of the latter is par
ticularly DESTROYS of receiving any honor
from Mr. LANNAN's hands, however,
we shall enter no complaint on Their be
half, merely stating that his action in linn
iting the selection of commissioners to
ladies of his own religious views-however
suitable these ladies are-was a stroke of
briiliancy exactIy,in line with what every,
one in Utah, except Governor THOMAS
looked for when Governor THOMAS ap
pointed him, and illustrates besides, tina,
his smallness of soul is only equaled by his
largeness of body. At the time the ap
pointment was made a quiet smile went
over the whole community, but the news

tons OF the governor and appointee were
so notorious that the smile was one o.

LANNAN'S "POLYGAMIsTs."

PATRICK H. LANNAN tells the press of the
country that 1.-The most effective way to
suppress polygamy is TO deprive the polyg
amists of the elective franchise"
AS all polygamists are already deprived
of the elective franchise, and have been for
years, it appears, according to Mr.. Ian
NAN, that polygamy has already been dealt
with in ''the most effective wayn
But as MIR. LASNAN knows this as well
as any resident of Utah, the press reports
either wrong him, or he is a stealthy and
dishonorable opponent.
The people he is seeking to disfranchise
are not polygauists many of them do not
believe in the practice of polygamy, and
all of them have taken special oath
that they will not commit the
offense known as polygamy. These are
the "polygaui sts'' whom LANNANis Seeking
to disfranchise. Great man, this Ian
NAN.
He doesn't want the Mormons driven
from Utah, he wants them to stay here to
cultivate their farms and orchards, to en-
gage in commercial enterprises, and to es-
tablish factories. He wouldn't have them
sell out and leave, not he. All he wants is
to rule them and spend the taxes they pay.
And all he asks is that they be disfran-
chised for being ''polygamists', that is,
they have only one wife apiece, or none,
and have sworn that they will take no more
than one wife. LANNAN is evidently an &C.
centric genius

DESTROYING THE FARAEl.

Mr.. BLAINE's strongest argument for re-
ate voted against it. It's curious areu-
ment, but it is not true. Democrats voted
against the MCKINLEY bill. which increases
taxation in general, but has reel procity
tag attached to it. Many Democrats would
have voted in favor of'reciprocity with
South America, If they colid have done so
without voting for the MCKINLEY bill; but
to vote for that measure in order TO get
what little advantage there is in reciprocity
with South America would have been a
pennywise and pound. foolish proceeding.
Besides, the reciprocity part of the bill has
string to it, and can De withdrawn at any
time by the President. The Democrats did
right n voting against the bill
But what does this reciprocity with
South America mean, Does it help the
farmer with untaxed coal, iron, salt, cloth
ing or other articles. No. These come
from Europe. From South America come
hides, wool and agricultural products gen
orally, which may enter Into competition
with what our farmers have to sell. It
means therefore that agriculture shall not
be protected. No proposition for recip-
rocity with England is mentioned, as that
would be of benefit to the farmers and
would subject the manufacturers to foreign
competition. This reciprocity scheme
leaves the situation practically unchanged;
the manufacturers are protected more
highly than ever while the farmer is really
left unprotected. SO far as the countries
south of US, mostly agricultural regions,
are concerned.
The farmer is still to be taxed for every
species Of manufacture he uses. but is 10

THE DIFFERENCE.

In all parties, perhaps, there are men of
almost all gradations of good and bad.
Apart from merely personal matters, how
ever. there is one important difference be-
tween the Mormons and the non Mormons
of Utah. The former have never at
tempted to interfere with the political
rights of non Mormons in Utah on account
Of belief, disbelief or anything else. Nom
Mormons have never been denied the
rights of American citizens in Utah. and
In all the years since they organized
party they have cast their votes without
molestation and without even suspicion
Of danger.
No sooner, however, had the Liberal
party acquired strength than it began
agitating for the franchise for the women Of
Utah, which was soon granted by the terri
torial legislature. At once the Liberal
party perceived its mistake; it did not de-
sire the elective franchise for women. hut
IL did desire to talk about the down trodden
women of Utah. Nothing was left, how
ever, but to demand the Acknowledgement
OF the women, which was finally secured.
Next the punishment of actual polygamists
was demanded and secured; and then il
was demanded that theoretical polygamists
be DISTINGUISHED. a test oath was incor-
porated in the anti-polygamy laws disfran
chising all who would not promise to obey
the law in the future. But as it was appar
ent that the great majority of the Mormons
would never have broken the law any
way, and would have 10 special
objections to taking the test oath
the Liberal leaders got together and made
Few oath, different from the one pre-
scribed by Congress, and one that itseemed
the Mormons could not take, and actually
tried to force this new oath upon the Utah
commission in order at once to disfranchise
the majority here.
Baflled in this they secured complete con-
troll of the election machinery, and pro-
ceeded 20 disfranchise their opponents by
striking their names from the registration
list. This method has proved tedious. and
again goes the united voice of the law
breaking minority to Congress, for the
complete disfranchisement of the law
abiding majority.

EIGHT HOURS A DAY.

Tho movement to reduce the hours of
labor from nine to eight out of the twenty
four has a varied aspect. On the one hand
we have the traditional and customary ten
Tours, TO which mankind has roughly ap-
proximated as the most suitable length of
days labor for several centuries. To be
sure, employers have often exacted more
hours than ten. and men working for them
selves or by the piece cheerfully labor for
twelve hours or more. But ten hours ap-
pears to be the mean toward which ex-
tremes have constantly tended.
IL is believed that less work win
be performed in the eight-hour day.
though in u few cases a more brisk appli.
cation through eight hours will accomplish
as much as slower work for ten.
though nine has been the rule hereabout
for some time. If the amount of labor DER.
formed. however, averages one-fifth less in
the eight hour than in the ten hour day. it
will result in lowering of wages at an
average of twenty per cent, all round. This
must be so in the ordinary processes of in
dustry, though that effect might not be
reached at once in every occupation. In

USURER ALSO.

Another of Senator INGALLS, peculiar
up to plague him. Last spring CHARLEY
CARLTON brought the Senator into popular
contempt by demonstrating that the Zero
cious- tongued Kansas was vulgar and
unbiushing plagiarist. People have
hardly ceased talking about how INGALLS,
stole one of MAssILLoN's sermons and
palmed it off as an original obituary ad-
dress, and now comes forth the proof that
the Senator is an usurer, veritable SHY
LOCK, squeezing the cash from his own con-
stiuents for whose discontinue he has
made so many plundering laws. The affairs
of the defunct bank of Abieene, Kan, are
being investigated, and the inquiry devel-
ops the fact that INGALLS,, during the past
three years, had sent to the president of
the bank $4,000 for investment on private
account. The money was used in the pur,
chase of farmers notes at such IA discount
as would make the interest 80 per cent,
the legal rate being only 10. These
notes are held by INGALLS, who is
pushing the farmers for the payment of the
interest 1t is due TO the Senator as much
as to any other man in the nation that the
Kansas farmers burn corn tor fuel, and
that they are unable to pay their notes
when they fall due. Having legislatcd
them out of market for their products,
aud doubled the cost of such articles as
they must have, it is adding insult to in
jury to buy up their notes at a discount and
then put the screws OF the law to them to
compel them to sacrifice some of their pos
sessions. If the farmers of Kansas do not
retire INGALLS, and his gang to private life,
they will deserve all they are getting in
the way of Republican oppression.

by Associate Justice HARLAN, of the United
States supreme court. HARLAN said that
advice is not criminal unless the advised

good law, but Justice HARLAN is one of the
men who decided that Mormons in Idaho
should be punished by disfranchisement,
not because they had been guilty of any
crime, nor because they had advised any
body to commit a crime, but for the reason
that some Mormons believed in practice

territorial law declaring il a misdemeanor

vein, the Mormons surely can afford to let
them. 1t ought to show to the world at
least, that the ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS lied
about and misunderstood as they are-are
still the most patient and long suffering of
people; and the impunity with which a
sheet like the Tribune continues its abuse
of their sacred rites affords the best posi-
