THE GREEN-EYED MONSTER.

Our evening cotem. came out with a
garbled and distorted report of the
Democratic feast held at the lake Re
sort Wednesday night. The Enquirer
had no reporter on the grounds, it did
not have enterprise enough for that;
hence it tried to make a bullesque ot
the report printed in THE DISPATCH
and belittle what was SAID and done.
This shows how keenly the
organ smarts under its defeat,
and how it tries to vent its
impotent rage on the most
harmless doings of the citizens who
differ with it politically. Suppose the
boot had been on the other leg, and the
Republicans had gained the day and
concluded to give feast for the young
men who paraded the streets in heat
and dust 10 stir up the enthusiasm
among the citizens, for their cause,
why then it would have been an
aggregation of giant intellects,
sparkling with wit and wisdom, the
speeches patterns of eloquence and pa
triotism worthy of PITT or a CHAT
TAM; the viands would have been
choice, and the ladies who assisted.
charming and captivating; the music,
d heavenly symphony. But could any
good come from a Democratic gather

VERIFY, A LESSON HAS BEEN
TAUGHT.

In the recent campaign, the fact has
pronouncedly asserted itself that the
brain and good hard American sense of
the non-Mormon element in Utah is
heartily in accord with the new order
OF things in this territory. Even the
haters OF right and justice and the bit
ter fighters for spoil and gain, the
hangers on to he Liberal party, realize
this. Listen to the wall the Ogden
Commercial makes:
rhe Commercial has no quarrel with
the Murmon people as such. 1t simply
opposes certain practices OF the church
which it feels sure are opposed to civil
zation and republican government. And
1t asks Mormon people TO reflect ON the
fact that more than 6O0U0,0O0 people,
IN fact all ChristeHdom. believe Just
as this paper does y man should con
slider his waSs, lest they be wrong, when
all the civilized nations unite in asSur-
ing thai he is in error. The people OF
this nation viii never consent tu have

plain truth is that they thought there
WAS still enough of the carpet bag Gle
ment left in the territory to keep the
fight going. 1t has discovered its mis-
take and is gradually getting itself
down to that point where it will say,
" We doubted your sincerity, but we
doubt no longer We now believe the
time has come to give up the old fight,
and now we Will pull together" Which
of course will mean, I'VE are whipped.
At the outset we lost our sword and
didn't know it, and have been slashing
away all the time with nothing but the
scabbord, and now that has all gone to
smash. Please let US in with you, that
we may not starye completely"
Well, when that time comes, which
is near at hand, the generous and for
giving spirit that AmericaniSm inspires
will impel us all, Mormon, Jew and
Gentle, Democrats and Republicans,
to say, "We forgive you and forget all
past ofenses. Come along and do the
best you can 10 help roll on the mighty
car of progress"

THE PROBLEM IS SOLVED.

Congressman HoRR, Republican
though he is, has hit upon the best
method yet presented for the settlement
of this vexed Mormon question that
has been so sorely puzzling the would
be statesmen of our country. In fact
the question has settled itself notwith-
standing the efforts of the haters of
progress to prevent the solution, and
Mr.. HoRR simply suggests the method
which has lately been taken up. He
says;
"The long and bitter fight between
the Mormons and Gentiles have injured
the territory greatly. An effort is
now being made to induce the people
to divide on different lines \
Some OF the Gentilrs refuse to brlieve
that the Mormons are sincere in their
claim that they have abandoned pol
ygamy and will henceforth obey the
laws. Many good men think the Nor
mons should be taken at their word.
The influx of people into thp ter
ritory from the east would be large ii its
real merits were understood. and if
il could be decided that the government
Is to be run on the principles of love,
Charity and kindness. The
practical question is how best TO treat
such genuine belief as the Mnrmuns
profess, even though it be all delusic n.
Ones impulse is to crush it out. but the
history OF the world is that the crush
ing business seldom if ever wins. The
great bulk OF these people are sinct re,
deyout, earnest people. Prayer and
pIrty seem to abound among the q. In
worldly matters they are admitted to
be frugal, industrious and honest.
They have made dry and barren waste
rich in fields OF grain. grass, roots and
fruits. Would it not be we'll
if Mormon and Gentle could unite on
some pl,n that would let the bad in
each system drop out and SIMPLY pre-
serve the good in both?"
This is the whole thing in nut
she'll. The Mormon people have con-
,eded every point urged against them
by their enemies. and now why fight |
longer? Mormon and Gentle have
lnited on common plan and the ter
'itory is now on the high road to re-
lemption. The long and Troublesome
Mormon problem is solved.

THE FRIEND OF THE POOR.


The Democrat is the friend of the
poor. The Republican is the friend of
the rich. Choose between them, but

WASHINGTON, Nov 3O-Each of the

Lorning reported pleasant visits from
newly arrived members. The names OF the
callers upon each candidate. however, upon
analysis. appear to be about the same, and
it was therefore evident that the visit had
little significance beyond courtesy. Among
the new members elected to serve their
first term in congress who put in an ap-

In regard to the thousands of women en-
piOyed by the national government in the
various bureaus here, it can be said that a
large per centage of them are as correct in
their behavior as the SterneSt moraliSt
would have them be. Some Of these are
the only support of Otherwise helpless
families, and many are from the best con-
nections in the land. There is another and
widely different, though much smaller class,
who are a disgrace to the service. Their
appointment for the most part antedates
the civil service law, which, however
greatly it has been denounced, has stopped
the wholesale beStowal of places on women
by reason of scandalous considerations. If
it has done no other good, the law, by pre-
venting such prostitution of PATRONAGE
ought to deserve the appreciation of all the
right thinking people of America. OF
course an immoral person may pass the
examinations OcCasionally-nobOdyc contends
that scholarship makes angels-yet as a
rule the vicious of both sexes are disquali-
fed from entering the employment of the
government via the civil service regula-
tons.
Ali that was necessary a few years ago
was for a young woman (if she were pretty,

congress representatives are flocking 10
Washington in increasing numbers. and
their presence is giving renewed interest TO
the speakership contest. All five of the
avowed candidates are now in Washington.
The expressed views and desires of the

fact in the contest-namely, that no candi-
date at present has sufficient number of
absolutely pledged votes to make his cleo
ton certain. Messrs. Mills and Crisp are
each sanguine of winning, and each eX-

Special TO the Gazette
WASHINGTON, Nov. 3O.-There is hardly a
week in the year that Washington IS not
invaded BY some delegation Of noble red
men who want one thing or another from
Uncle sam. Usually it is hard cash they
come for. Last night Governor Jones, the
head of the Choctaws. left the capital with
two or three satellites. after a months stay
vainly spent in trying to secure nearly
81. 00O.000 for certain lands owned by his
tribe and the ChichasawS. Now 4 dozen
chiefs Of the Arapahoes aud Cheyennes are
here on a similar mission. The two tribes
were TO get Sl.500,000 for their interest in
Oklahoma soil the government TO retain
Sl,0OO.O00 and pay over the interest at per
cent annually. OF the rest $3.50, 900 was TO
be paid in cash, and six months later the
remaining $3.50 900 in ready money, or in
farming implements, clothing or otherwise.
They want the money as a matter of
course, and would be willing to stay year
at the capital making regulation Indian
talks to the president or secretary of the
interior to gain their point. In fact, the
untutored sons of the prairies seem to fancy
Washington immensely. They are fasci-
mated with the big public buildings, and
ide to the top OF the Washington monu-
ment is the acme of bliss, expressed in loud
grunts when the elevator lands them 500
feet above as pretty panorama as the eye
of man ever beheld.
