TO DEMOCRATS.

We want to say to the Democratic clubs
and societies. and to Democrats generally
throughout the territory, that we are fast
approaching an important election. In
just three months the polls will be opened.
Three months are none too much time for
the work to be done. 1t will probably be
month or longer before any convention will
be called. and the campaign opened, but
the labor TO which we refer should be per-
formed before the nominations have been
made. After the conventions the work
will necessarily relate almost exclusively
to the tickets. What is needed now is or
gauization. Little or nothing has been
done for year. We learn that some OF
the clubs have not even held q meeting
since the election last August, and
while Democrats have Individually
kept themselves in touch with
the party, the local party machinery
has fallen into disuse and become rusty.
Now is the time to apply the oil and get the
wheels in motion for the lively work of
September and October. One important
labor must be performed this month. We
refer to the registration, which will begin
on Monday. we understand, the house to
house visits being made as speedily as pos
slble. Deuocra should understand that
the party has been almost entirely ignored
by the Utah commission in the appointment
Of registration officers. II is said that of
the whole number Of deputies, between two
hundred and three hundred, not two dozen
are Democrats. OF course the purpose of
this shameful discrimination against the
majority party is apparent 1t is expected
that the registrars, in making their rounds.
will fail to find good many Demo
Gratis. The clubs and societies must see
to it that the commission is defeated.
and no Democrat loses his right to vote
through the convenient oversight or will
full neglect Of any registration officer. Let
every name be properly listed, il the regis
trar has TO be followed from house to
house The Democracy must have learned
by this time the character Of the opposi-
ton, and how essential it Is TO see that
every point is guarded 10 prevent that OPP
position from making wrongful use OF the
advantage it has secured.
THE HERALD is not apprehensive as to
the result in November. The party's nom
inee for delegate to Congress will be
chosen by handsome majority, and we
believe the Democracy will carry every
county IN the territory with one excep-
tion. Our urgency in the matter of
organization is not that we fear
as to the outcome, bur that the commission
may be taught by the increased Democratic
vote that it never pays to be mean or 10 use
official power vindictively. Besides, a
splendid Democratic victory, such as can
be won by organization and work, will
have tendency to put sn early stop to the
triangular contests. We hope to learn dur
ing the month that every county organiza-
ton has been put into good working order,
preparatory to the lively business which
viii come later.

AT HOMESTEAD


The leaders of the Homestead strikers
are represented as fearing break amcng
their men, some OF whom are said to show
signs Of weakening. the leaders say that
if the men will hold out they will certain
ly win, as the company VIII be unable to
employ skilled hands TO operate the ma
chinery. The strikers are also laboring
with railway engineers, endeavoring to
induce them 10 refuse to shaul freight 10
and from the mills. All this is legitimate
campaigning, and is sustained by popular
sentiment. The strikers have the right,
moral and legal, to stand together and TO
appeal to other men TO stand by them in
the fight they are making for fair wages
and the right TO an equitable share in the
fruits of their labor If they can coax
other laborers TO decline the work and pay
offered BY the company, and can thus keep
the mills closed and the capital in them
inactive and non productive until the
owners yield, well and good: but the
strikers rights end here; that is to say,
their rights do not extend TO the employ
ment of force TO prevent other men from
working. The Occur d'Alene miners went
beyond the limits of their rights, and
undertook to adjust by terrorizing and
force, question which could not be set
tad by these means so long as there are
laws confirming to the owner the power to
manage and control his property.
We sincerely hope the Homestead strik-
ers will win, as we. believe their cause is
just; and we believe they will win if they
keep within the law and not assume that
because the union gives them physical
power it also gives them the right TO use
that power illegally.

SOON FORGOTTEN.


A few weeks ago there Was great ado
over tho silver party and the Peoples
party, which were 30 form sn alliance and
carry enough states to throw the election
of president into the House. Among the
silver states TO be thus carried were Colo
RADIO, Idaho, Montana ard Nevada, and the
enthusiastic sditBfa told how easily the
work could be done. How completely the
schema has collapsedl In Montana the free
coinage men are all back into their respec-
tive party lines, working hard for the
Democratic and Republican national
tickets, just as il there had never been a
silver question. They early realized in
Idaho how vain ard foolish thing it
would be for that little state to throw its
TIRES electoral votes away and at the same
time antagonize both the great parties, one
of which was certain TO be suceessful
There win be no scattering votes In
Idaho in November. In Colorado where
the silver party seemed to be strongest,
fully half the voters Of the state. without
regard to party, having pledged themselves
to vote for neither CLEVELAND nor HARRI-
SON, the silVerites have but one influential
newspaper organ, and that journal is act
ing as if it would be better pleased with
itself it somebody would take it cut behind
the barn and club it for a few minutes for
having made fool Of itself. The signers
Of the silver pledge are getting back into
their party folds as fast as possible, andthe
third party ticket will be mighty lonesome
in the ballot boxes IN November. Only
in Nevada DO they keep ''6rsced up.n Our
western neighbor actually threatens to
repudiate both the Democratic aud Repub-
lican nominees and choose presiden-
tlal electors pledged to vote for some
man who is friendly to the free coinage
proportion. II may be that later on the
Sagebrushers will also come to their senses
and conclude that it wont pay TO vent
spite on the face by biting of the nose. Ii
they should not, it will not matter, for
there is no possible combination in the
ele storal college which will make tae votes
of Nevada important.
In the course of time perhaps men will
learn the great truth, that political parties,
in order to live, must be founded on iv-
ing principle. No party can become for
midable on the single issue Of the free coin
age of silver.

THE ALABAMA election, resulting in a
considerable Democratic majority, puts to
sleep the pleasant fiction of the Republi-
cans in regard to breaking up the ''solid
SOUTH with new political organizations.
Alabama, by reason Of her extensive iron
manufacturing interests. developed since
the war, was claimed to be swinging away
from her anti hig h-tariff mornings. 1t was
supposed, TOO, that the Farmers Alliance
had obtained foothold there, but Mon
days election dispels all such illusions

Republican party" have concluded to di

their free and voluntary suffrages were
cast with the Democracy. AS in Alabama,
so will it be in Tennessee, the V.rginias
and the Carolinas A unity of interest
will effect unity Of action throughout the
south.

GENERAL STEVENSON, when first assis-
tant postmaster general, had nothing what
ever To do with the civil service rules, ex-
cept as they were applicable to the clerks
in his Office at Washington. Those rules
do not apply TO postofices where the ap-
pointments are made ry the first assistant
postmaster general, but only TO offices
whore the number Of clerks or carriers are
fifty or more. The changes made by Gen.
eral STEVENSON were mostly on the recon-
mendation of members of Congress, in
whose hands usually the appointments Of
postmasters not of the presidential class
generally rest when they are Of the same
politics as the administration.

The OTHER day an item was published in
THE HERALD 30 the effect that one Conner
Thomas had applied tothe governor for
appointment as mine inspector, and after
waiting a reasonable time, inquired as to
the fate of his petition only to learn that
the place had been filled, the appointment
having gone to man then on his way to
this country from Wales The story came
from gentleman presumed TO be
thoroughly reliable. but we have since
learned there was nothing in the tale.
Why our informant should want to impose
upon THE HERALD and the public has not
transpired. THE HERALD confesses to a
lack of ELUSIVE admiration for the gov
ernor, yet we would not knowingly do him
an injustice, hence this explanation.

We solemnly declare that the need Of o re-

now. The tendency to centralize all power at
