BLACK CLOUDS In IOWA.

One of the latest political movements we
read of is that of the colored anti-prohibi-
tionists of Iowa. In Iowa, as almost ev-
erywhore else, prohibition and Repub-
licanism go hand in hand, and as the Amer
lean citizen Of African descent is usually
classed among the Republicans, the move
ment in question may be looked upon as a
detection. 1t took the form of state con
vention at Cedar Rapids, and after a hot
time, which generally ensues when a
pretty large crowd of darkeys get together,
resolutions were passed denouncing the
stringent coercive temperance law Of that
state and calling upon the colored voters
to cast their votes so as TO bring about its
repeal. OF course this means voting the
Democratic ticket, at least for the legis-
lature, and taken altogether it is rather a
significant movement

Here we have been all this time worry

whether he would make the race for Presi-
dent whilst a man up in Detroit had the
solution of the question in his vest pocket,

ALGER, land the false statements regard

some of the Republican papers. and if true
that settles it, but late dispatches deny its
truth.
A few days ago the eastern journals, dis
cussing the approaching Pennsylvania state
convention, referred to the proposed boom
for BLAINE which, they said, would go on
unless checked by the secretary; and they
argued that, unless so checked, the mean
ing would be that BLAINE is candidate

THE INFAMY EXPOSED.

The HERALD has heretofore referred to
the redistricting and apportionment of this
territory by the Utah commission, and
pointed out what vicious and partisan ar
rangement it was. It is to the lasting
credit of one member of the commission
General MCCLERNAND-that he refused to
be a party to the scheme by which the
other members of the body attempted to
steal the legislature for their master, the
Liberal party. That the plan did not work
is due to the fact that Notwithstanding the
outrageous gerrymander, notwithstanding
the slicing of the territory into shoestrings
extending from Wyoming to Nevada,
notwithstanding the punching of the peo-
pie in such q manner as to give the advan-
tage at every point to the commissions
bosses, the voters were true to principle
and repudiated the attempted outrage. The
partisan commission counted without its
host.
Now that the election has been held and the
votes counted, we wonder that the gentle
men of the commission do not blush when
they look over the returns and contem-
plate their partisan work The worst out
rage was the consolidation of dis
tricts for no other purpose than to
give the Liberals an advantage; il
was not only an outrage, but was
in direct defiance of the plain letter Of the
law. But aside from that the votes show
how unfair and partisan was the arrange
ment. The council districts returned re
spectively oil the way from J, 500 votes tx
$500, the average being about 1900; one
had 2,715, another 2, 69S, another 1881, and
SO it runs through the list. If one viii
take the trouble to analyze the vote of thu
districts he will find that the arrangement
was carefully studied out SO as to make
every Liberal vote count as much as pos
sible and every other vote as little as pos
sible. Never in all the history of politica
gerrymander was more partisan, a more
unlawful. more wicked arrangement
made for assisting minority to overcome
majority.
Fortunately the scheme did not succeet
as was contemplated, though the commits
sion declared its readiness to go to an,
length to help the cause of its unprinciplet
master.
THE HERALD repeats that the Utah com
mission must go.

WHEN TIE MCKINLEY bill was under
consideration and the tin metal clause was
up, there was great deal said in Congress
about the future production of tin in the
Black Hills. The South Dakota Senators
were eloquent and impressive on the sub
ject. According to their story, but short
time would elapse before all the tinware
necessary for in the new state would be
made from native deposits, with perhaps
some to spare to trade on. But now at
this day comes the superintendent of the
Harvey Peak Tin Mining company, saying
1t is still question whether tin metal can
De found at this, the best of the Black
Hills mines, in paying quantities. And yet
he declares that the tin bearing rock found
in the company's plant is the richest in the
world.

Liberals are correspondingly depressed.
Three months before the election there
was no Democratic party in this territory.
They were forming the party in Ogden and
in this city there was a Democratic
club with an insignificant membership,
perhaps hundred. There were two old
parties, fully organized and well equipped,
and these two parties had enlisted in their
ranks practically all the voters In Utah.
Birth was given to the Democracy, the Re-
publican babe was born, one of the old
parties was disbanded and went to pieces,
and the contest began. THE HERALD knew
these people. 1t knew they were bright,
intelligent educated and progressive, and
it knew they believed in honest govern
ment and capable administration. Know
ing these things we naturally and necessa-
rily counted upon them as Democrats, and
opening the fold cordially invited them to
enter and help to save and redeem this
great commonwealth which was threatened
by the spectator. We gave them
reasons for the faith within us, and tried
to explain why it would be better for the
state and better for individuals if Utah
were to set out on her political career
aligned with the great party of the Amer
lean people. From the day the Democratic
movement began, this paper has had SUI
preme confidence in the intelligence, the
wisdom and the good Judgment of the peo-
pie. While others were troubled with
doubts and worried by misgivings, this
paper has felt that all was safe, and our
columns have daily given assurance that
the people were right The counting of the
votes tells how welI-placed was our conf
dence, how intelligent were the people,
how devoted they are to those splendid
principles of human government upon
which the Democratic party is founded.
And what is the result! Well, in round
numbers, the total vote of the territory was
1880, divided as follows: Democrats.
14,157; Liberals, 7,404; Republicans, $3.50.
To be exact, the Democrats cast 414 more
votes than all the other parties combined
6,153 more than the Liberals; ISIS more
than the Repu blicans, or l, 419 more than
double the total Republican vote. The
Democrats cast nearly 81 per cent of the
entire vote, to % per cent. by the Liberals
and % per cent. by the Republicans. We
carried every county in tie territory with
two exceptions. We have nine out Of
twelve members of the legislative council
and twenty ont of twenty four members o.
the house of representatives.
These are what the returns show Is the
demonstration not enough to make Demo
Gratis rejoicel Is it not enough to encour
age them to proceed in the good fight unit
they convert even the stubborn and errini
minority. We think it is. and will no
; rest even with the safety of the territor,

missioner who is obedlent to his duty.
The principle upon which President
CLEVELAND acted with regard to the civil
service was that ''public Office was public
trust" that man in Office represented the
whole people, Republicans aud Democrats;
that If it was unseemly for an official to
show Partially for Democrats over Repub-
hcans, how much more so to take sides
with one set of Democrats against an
other. He issued an order forbidding
political assessments. He caused it to
be known that the officials of the admin
istration must not be delegates to political
conventions or go upon the stump. He dis
missed several Of his appointees for in
fractions of these instructions, and before
the election came on, in which the Presl
dent himself was directly interested, there
was no yestige left Of doubt about his per-
feet sincerity and good faith.
The trouble about the office holding poll
ticians, with reference to the civil service
law, is that they cannot understand they
were put in their places for the purpose of
attending to the duties thereof. They i'm :
agine it was because Of their "pull". And
so the business OF their posts is neglected
in order to look after this or that ward, or
this or that state delegation. They get
to feel ''biger than old GRANT"
because they are backed by some
Senator or Congressman, who will not
plain to them that they will have to toe
the mark in regard to subordinating the
public interest TO pot-house politics. The
very law the Congressman make in defer
ence TO the public they are Indifferent to in
practical operation, if, indeed, they do not
secretly applaud or excuse its being in
fringed. In the departments and in the
| postoffices of the country, where intelligent
work is necessary, and where partisan
bummers are disgusting drones, the reform
of the civil service is hailed with satisfac-
ton and delight. The heelers that hang
about custom houses and marshals' offices,
| who possess no other qualification than
knowing how to set up a ward primary or
stuff a ballot box, must be taught to know
their places-or, better still, be kept iron
having any places.

PROTECTION WRONG SIDE OUT.

As an illustration of the beauties of the
MCKINLEY act the Republican papers are
calling attention TO big pointer, as they
consider it. Sir TITUs SALT, Sons & Co.

facturers in England, with the greatest
part of their.custom in the United States.

little different from what is desired by the
home manufacturers. II the English con-
Germ is to make any money it will be at

il it can be brought about by
inducing Englishmen to come here and put

continues we shall see the American mill
owners, weavers and foundrymen besieg-

this country, just as the American work
men demand the exclusion Of pauper labor
from abroad. They understand protection
to be "a condition, not theory" and they
want its practical results.

HEELERs AND THE CIVIL SERVICE.

We referred few days ago to the re-
port of Civil Service Commissioner Rooss-
WELT on the condition of affairs among the
government employees at Baltimore. The
commissioner declared the rules relating
to offensive craftsmanship had been VIC
lated without stint by the officials of the
postoflice, marshals office and custom
house, and called the attention of the
proper authorities to the reforms needed
there.
The United States marshal, no doubt,
after consultation with the other govern
ment officers, makes answer in effect ad-
uniting the charges, and saying SIT man
has convictions he should have the courage
of them and should be allowed to act as his
interest dictates; this is what 1 did at the
primaries complained Of" In other words,
he says he did what he is alleged to have
done, and is glad of it.

NOT TO THEIR ADVANTAGE.

The Independent Philadelphia Ledger says
the Republicans are ready to declare for
free coinage whenever they find it to their
advantage to do So "They are like the
poor cat in the adage," says the Ledger,
Letting dare not wait on [ would" Isn't
this proposition true as to the Republicans
with respect to any other proposition9 The
party has ever stood ready to declare for
anything which it thought would
be to the advantage of the
organization. Thus in principle it
IS opposed to tariff reform and in
favor of keeping our people out of the mar
kets of the world by prohibitory import
duties, and yet 1t found it to its lad
vantage to declare IN favor of reciprocity,
going further in the direction of free trade
with certain countries than the Democra is
ever thought of going. If the money lend
ers were TO say to the Republican party
that the latter should favor free coinage,
the Republican party would find it to its
advantage to declare for free coinage.
although to do so would reverse the record
of the party and be shameful reputation
OF its course ever since il demonetized
silver eighteen years ago. However, there
is not much likelihood of the creditor
class giving the Republican party
permission to go to the relief of the unfor
tunate debtors, hence the party will not
find it to its interest to declare in favor oil
free coinage. The relief must come
through the Democratic party, the party
which has the interest Of the masses rather
than of the rich few at heart. Free coin
age of silver will come only when the De.
mocracy RECEIVERS control of the govern.
ment and can make laws for the people.
