TIE DIFFERENCE DEFINED.

We occasionally meet with people who
cannot understand why it is that the tariff
question forms an issue between the two
great parties, and some even asert that
it is not properly an issue between them.
BY way of evidence they affirm that there
are Democrats who are protectionists, and
Republicans who are for free trade; that
is, sthe tariff reduced to a revenue basis.
1t is not for US to say in what light Re-
publican in favor of free trade shall be
held by his party, but we do not hesitate
to say that the Democracy of any man
who favors protective tariff is at least
suspicious. Some time ago a gentleman
in New York, who was not well acquainted

asked the meaning of the term
mugwump. He was answered that it was
name given to Republican voting the
Democratic ticket. "lf you call Republi-
can voting the Democratic ticket a mug
wump, what do you call Democrat who
votes the Republican tcket"' asked the
gentleman. "a consummate foop' was the
prompt reply. a Democrat favoring a
protective tariff stands in the same cate

the one offense against the statutes OF the

from one end OF Utah to the otner there is
absolute obedience to the laws of the

HARNESSED LIGHT MING.

The age is prolific of marvels, and it may
be said that electricity is the chief agent
in producing them. Man has laid his
hands on the strange, subtle force, dragged
it from its hiding places and made it his
slave to do his work, and the world is look
ing with feeling akin to exhilaration TO
see what is to come of it.
Even the goods" which this mysterious
agent has thrown upon the market are so
numerous and varied, and their names so
strange, that only experts can unders tand
them. Indeed, the nomenclature of the
electrical business is so formidable as to
need a new electromagnetic every day
brings with it the application OF this power
to some new practical purpose. 1t stag
gers US to be told that $3.50, 100000 are in
vested in the electrical industries of this
country. And when we reflect that the
enormous business which this sum repre-
sents rests upon a mysterious something
which cannot be seen, touched, tasted
smelled, measured nor weighed, we get
some apprehension of the superiority of
things that are not seen over those that do
appear.
In the universe there is an immense if
| not limitless supply OF this article, though
we might have some difficulty in locating
aud pre- empting it. So much progress
has already been made in turning it to
| practical purposes that it is not strange
some begin to think the time will come
carry about with him little pocket battery
of the fluid to be used at pleasure.
A company has been organized in Mis-
souri, with Governor FRANCIS at the head
of it which proposes to run an airline
electric railroad from ST. Louis to Chicago
upon which passenger cars will be placed
that are pected TO make the distance in
| three hours where nine are now required
1t is in such application of electricity as
this that the greatest progress has been
made in the last few years
for theoretically we know little
more than was known forty years
ago. We do not know certainly what it is,
and though we call it fluid, there are rea
sons to suspect that it is the manifestation
of the same energy that is in all light
heat and motion. A red hot iron is red ho
because its particles are in motion; at
white heat the molecular motion is more in
tense; and the sun, which is the hotties
and brightest object of which we have an,
knowledge, is believed to be the scene o
motion, and a clangor and uproar so enorm

No BETTER argu ment could be advanced
for the passage of the Home Rule bill, now
before Congress, than is found in Cover
nor THOMAS veto Of the election bill passed
by the territorial legislature. Here is
measure adopted by more than two-thirds
Of a body fresh from the people, and &C.
signed in their interest, frustrated by an
official representing power more
than two Thousand miles away. 1t
is not pretended that the proposed act is
il any sense conflicting with the organic
law or violaJive of any principle of the con-
sttution. 1t is simply and entirely the iu-
terposition of the one man power, tyrannic-
ally exercised, to obstruct and defy the will
of the people for purely political purposes,
and as such is an unworthy and outrageous
procedure. The veto is an absolute and
peremptory piece of domineering, and is
another example of the wrongs upon
popular sovereignty which the present ter
ritorial condition imposes.

the President of the United States is IS a
serf compared with him, Only two days
ago this governor defeated with his abso-
lutte veto bill for law demanded by four
fifths of the entire population, and
which was designed TO save to the
community hundreds of thousands Of dollars
in time and money every year. Not one
dollar of the peoples money can be ap-
propriated or expended by the legislature
except by the consent of the alien execu-
tive who may not own the shoes in which
he stands and who may start for his distant
home the morning after his commission
expires. The schools are under the control
of an official named by the federal court
made up Of gentlemen sent from distant
states. Even the probate judges are ap
pointed by the President of the United
States. The elective franchise is but
shadow, our elections under the control of
viciously partisan board sent from dis
tant states being farce and mockery,

people.

TOO BUSY FOR THEosoPHY.

A freak difficult to account fer is the
study and cultivation of theosophy among
certain classes of our fellow-countrymen
in the far east, 1t may be an exhibition of
that habit of imitation among these classes
which drives them into the adoption of for
eign habits Of dress, pronunciation and
manners, as claims to a higher social plane
than the masses of men and women are Gu
titled to move in, or it may be one of the
products of that annoying intellectual ac-
tivity which marks the present age of the
world. But whatever it is, it is probably
freak that will have no substantial re-
suit behind it. The new view-new to US,
but very ancient with the Hindoos-comes
( to US through the English from the Brah-
Minis; and it is the English, you know
stamp that accounts for the affectation
of it. among the high-class Bos-
tonians and New Workers. If the
religion of the Chinese, the Parsees or of
the Grand Llama were to come over TO
them through the same sources, it would
no doubt receive equally attentive consid-
Grafton.
But theosophy cannot gain a foothold
either in this country or England, even
among those who call themselves cult

and seeks TO trace its connection with the

lations with immortals, gain control over
the secret forces of the universe and be
