THE PRESS DECEIVED.

The HERALD regrets to note that its Den
yer contemporaries, bright and enterprising
journals that they are, accept the Utah com
MISSIONS estimate of the political movement
in this territory and look with suspicion or
the division of the people upon national
party lines. Our Denver friends of the
press should be SO familiar with affairs in
this territory as to know that no more hon
est action was ever taken than when the
Mormons disbspded their political organi-
zation and united with Gentle Democrats
and Republ icaus who had left the anti
Mormon party. To say that that move
ment was a trick and dishonest is
to say that many of Utah's bright
est and most clear headed Genhles-
Republicans and Democrats-men who
have resided here for long years
and are thus well qualified to sit in iudg-
ment On the sincerity of the people-are
deplorably ignorant and have been grossly
deceived, and to say this is to talk sheer
idiocy. The bright aud braiuy men who are
heart and hand and soul in this movement
are not likely TO go about blindly trusting
to the fates to lead them arignt. They pro-
coed intelligently like sane beings, and
know what they are doing. The Utah COM
mission is actuated by selfish motive in
casting suspicion upon the movement. The
life of that useless board depends upon the
ability to make it appear that the people
are not honest and sincere in this matter
If Congress aud the country can be held tc
believe that the Utah community is dis
honest and is attempting g cunning trick
by which to blind and deceive, the COM
mission will continue to draw from the fed
eral treasury S25, 900 year and travelling
expenses for doing nothing. The press
however, ought not to seek to perpetuate
the useless aggregation, and therefore
should look at the situation through clea,
eyes. The political movement in Utah il

don US If we can scarcely believe that
through fear of their informants being
prosecuted by the Mormons they would
withhold their information from the Off
GERS of the courts. And this is why we be-
lieye 1t: The existence of local political
party now in control of this city depends
upon proving the insincerity of the Nor
mon leaders and people in surrendering
the practice of polygamy, and the division
of the people, politically, on national
party lines. If it were possible for the
the organ of the Liberal party, or the
commission, the particular friend-we had
liked to have said-of the Liberal party, to
prove by any testimony that would be
worthy of even a modicum of respect,
that polygamous marriages had been sol
emnized among the Mormons since the
manifesto had been issued, they would
have moved earth and hell but what they
would drag to the light their proofs at the
sacrifice of any number of their inform
ants. The Mormons would be completely
in their power and at their mercy if they
could proveit. The fact that they do not
drag their proof out into the light where it
whatever exists, or that which is called
evidence is altogether worthless.
Now, as to the action of the conference
| In denying the allegations of the commits
sion in reference to plural marriage and
church dictation in political affairs, we
believe it was eminently proper that such
denial should be made; and, moreover,
that denial is worthy of respect by the
people of the United States. We believe
it will be respected by being believed. The
Mormon people are becoming too well
known for falsehood and Misrepresentation
to iniure them much longer among the peo-
pie of the nation. Untruth and calumny
have had their day. Those who have made
! lies their refuge and falsehood their cnief
weapon, may well despair for their race is
we'll nigh run. 1t is said that lie will run
round the world while truth is getting on
his boots; but in this casa truth has his
boots on now and since we are told II
sacred writ that the race is not to the
swift, but to they which endure to the end
we have an abiding faith that truth viii
overtake falsehood and bury it in the de-
bris of the structure of its own rearing
The word of people who have led the
vanguard of our western civil
lization, and in the face Of
every circumstance of encouragement
have established a commonwealth, re
deemed desert and given it to civiliza
ton, is worthy of being listened to by thei-
fellow citizens, especially so when thai
word is in denial of serious charges made
against them affecting their truth ant
honor. 1t was right for them to make tn
denial of these accusations. And as tn
charges were made against the Mormon
church, it was fitting that the church il
general conference assembled should max
formal denial of the accusations; and if tn
vote sustaining that denial was unanimous
as it was-a thing, by the way, Of whic

STORE WOVEN IN UNIFORM.


In the WANAMAKER store at Philadelphia
a little army OF saleswomen, cash girls and
messengers are employed. The other day,
in obed. ence TO an order from the concern,
they all appeared In black dresses made
after uniform pattern. The girls were
required to buy the material at the WANA-
MAKER store, but they were allowed, it is
said, discount of 30 per cent. At first
they clicked and 'wouldn't have it," de-
nouncing it as an interference with their
individual rights and intended as q badge
OF their employment; but they finally
knocked under to the bread and butter con
sideration, swallowed their temper and
appeared as SO many mourners. There
were some of the older and more demure of
the saleswomen who did not object, and
we can imagine they viewed the ukase
with a resigned and complacent feel

APRoPER PROCEEDING.

When a contemporary devotes two
columns of dreary editorial rot To show
that the Mormon people made mistake in
their late conference in denying and de-
nouncing the false statements and more
mischievous indirect aspersious and in
nuepdoes of the Utah com missioners, it
may be taken for granted that what was
done was about the correct thing to do
When that paper declared that the state
ments made are untrue and then writes
two columns in an attempt to prove it, it
may be taken for granted on general priu-
ciples that the thing denounced is substan-
tally correct. This. we are sorry to say, is
the character that our interesting contem-
porary has established in its attitude to-
ward the Mormons, and every day it is
made more and more apparent. We
are panied to admit that it is about as
safe to say that the conduct it denounces
as improper is altogether correct, as is to
say that Christians can't be far wrong
when the devil takes exceptions to their
conduct. So that we would say, if for no
other reason than this opposition, that the
Saints must have done just about the right
thing in denying the statements of the
commissioners report or so much Of them
as relates to their church and its position
in this territory.
One thing, and c. thing only, in the
way of argument need be mentioned in
relation to the report of the commission ::
! The commissioners stated that they had in
! formation to the effect that a number of
polygamist marriages had occurred with
in the last year, since the issuance
of the manifesto; but that prosecutions
were not Instituted upon the law breakers
because, forsooth, they feared their in
formants might be subjected to the perse
cution of the Mormons if they did Oh
granny What long tail our cat has
got. Our contemporary says in reference
to the denial of President WooDRUFF OF
such marriages, that "When Presiden,
WOODRUFF says he does not know of any
polygamist marriages, that he has giver
his consent to no polygamist marriage,
within this year, we believe that he ha!
not given his consent, and more, of his owl
knowledge he does not know that polyg
amist marriages have been solemnized. A
the sane time irresistible proof has com,
to us, and we believe that just as goo,
proof was given to the commission, that
great many Of those marriages have beer
entered into during this last year" Thel
the writer filings the assertion aside witt
the expression, "But no matte
about that"(D Indeed Is there IN
matter about that' 7 Have polyg

perfume. If complete harmony is the gen.
uine wish, and if all personal ambitions and
interests are to be laid aside, Mr.. JUSTIN
MCCARTHY viii, resign the leadership, ard
some such representative nan as JOHN
DILLON will be installed in his place. OF
late MCCARTHY and PARNELL had been
friendly, and even in the first place the
former did not desire to lead; so that q
compromise upon DILLON would be quite
easy, if found to be in the right course.
So far as Mr.. PARNELL's death may af-
feet matters in America, we think it would
be an appropriate time to disband all

more than sympathize and openly contri

move one of the motives for alleged British
persecution.

THE ALASKA SEAL INDUSTRY.

Matters in regard to the seal fisheries IN
Alaska, the trial in our United States Su-
preme court of the Behring sea dispute,
and the movements of British COMMISSION
ers investigating the methods OF traolns'
present subject somewhat complicated
Governor KNAPP, in his annual report 10

number of seals illegitimately taken DUR
ing only small part of last season at from
$4,000 to 10000, valued at Sl,SOO,OOO. Inc
most serious difficulty in the matter, says
the governor, is the unlawful slaughter OF
the females and young in the open sea.
More than a hundred marauding vessels
have been lowering about the islands IN
Behring sea during the season. Many OF
these are British.
A curious and rather amusing feature OF
the correspondence between Secretary
BLAINE and Sir CHARLES TUPPER has re-
Gently come to light Mr.. BLAINE, to en-
force his argument for the restriction OF

seals were not permitted to suckle their
young, as, leaving the breeding places,
they had to go fifty miles to feed, where
they were taken by great numbers IN the
open sea, whilst the young seals perished
on the island shores. A commission com
posed of Sir GEORGE BADEN POWELL and
DIR. DAWSON, who have been investigating
this subject for the British government,
have discovered that during the sucking
period, which lasts only twelve days, the
parent seals eat nothing at all. subsistlng
on their own fat, as do some other
animals. An examination OF several
after death showed their stomachs con
tanned nothing but seaweed and few
pebbles, thus upsetting Mr.. BLAINE S
knowledge of natural history and estab-

with the seal commerce. Ma. b. also
claimed that the seals were fast disappear

ures were taken Immediately to enforce G

GOING AFTER The MoUNrEBANKs.

SAM SMALL and his brother mountebank
in the evaugelization business, SAM JONES,
are likely to get into trouble through too
reckless use Of their tongues. They have
been holding revival meetings in Georgia
and to make their circuses sensational
they openly charged the officials
of the district with corruption, and
especially so as to the administration
of Justice. The result has been the charg-
ing of the grand jury by supreme court
Justice to cite the two reverend humbugs
to prove their allegations. and attachments
have been issued for the fellows. Of
course neither SMALL nor JONES knows
anything which would justify their
language, and they will have to go before
the inquisitors and confess that they are
unmitigated liars roaming about the coun-
try and making money by desecrating
pulpits.
| This incident suggests again that our
Utah Judges could DO this community good
service by following the course taken
by the Georgia judge, The Utah
commissioners as regularly as the
years come around, and they
file their reports with the secretary of the
interior, ailege that certain number OF
violations Of the anti polygamy law have
taken place during the twelve mon tbs.
Last year, if our memory is not at fault,
these gentleman reported that something
like forty polygamous marriages had been
solemnized; this year they report eighteen
such marriages. The United States mar
shals and vigilant grand juries have been
unable to discover any of the guilty parties
or to learn of a single polygamous mar
riage Those who ought to know best
emphatically deny that there has
occurred any of these unlawful
unions, making their denial in
such a solemn manner that its
refutation would prove disastrous to theil
standing in the community, a thing which
everybody would be excused for believing
the commission would take delight in. Be
sides the courts the masses of the people
are really interested in the triumph of tht
law in this matter, and would, we sincerely
believe, rejoice in the exposure and punish
ment of any violator of the statute since
the solemn vote by the Mormon people
that polygamy should be abandoned. Now
would it not be in the interest of justice
and be performing proper service for thu
. Utah community, to cite the members Of
the Utah commission before the grand jury
and compel them to tell Of these alleged
plural marriages or confess that they know
a nothing and reported eighteen such union
because that number first occurred to tn
writer of the report! We think the Geor
q gia Judge did right in citing SMALL An

THE IRISH CAUSE.

PARSELL's death, after the first feeling
has died out of sorrow for the blight he put
upon a brilliant and useful career, will be
almost universally regarded as fortunate
thing for his cause. He had already sur
viyed his usefulness, but some indiscreet
friends remained who, whilst he lived,
would have kept alive the chickering's which
no disturbed and divided the homerule
party. This element is now obliterated,
and the path is clear for union. That it
will be more conservative, with less resent
ment seems almost certain. 1t will prob
ably shape itself to be thoroughly in line
with the present liberal movement, headed
by GLADSTONE, which now gives 30 great
promise of success; and it will be entitled
TO share in the results of the coming
triumph if it heartily enters into the spirit
