The EAGLES story of John Martins
possible election in the Sixth ward. has
scared up the Democrats there, consider
ably.
As the time for decisive action draws
near, they get more nervous. Decisive
action will be taken today. though the re-
suit may not be reached.
There is material question as to the
powers OF the council in the premises.
The old coupcilmen will meet as a canvas.
sing board tonight. But it is said on good
authority that the council has never passed
an ordnance which is necessary, and
which authorizes it to sit rs a court of
contest.
As a canvassing board, the councilmen
can confirm the tally-sheet. but IL is only
as q contest court that they can recount
the ballots and decide which contestant is
elected.
1t was rumored last evening that the old
council would meet in special session early
this morning and pass this ordinance
making them a contest court, and en-
abling them TO take up the Martin-Max-
well contest tonight. w. L. johnson de-

condition of our contemporary just
now. viii be greatly surprised to learn
of its political status. And everybody
else similarly situated will wonder why
a paper that knows the Utah bill has
been reported, should quote approx
ingly a statement that the Senate COM
mittee had decided no such bill should
be reported, and how this fiat contra
diction forms "a remarkable and
wholly independent Confederation of
the position of the Tribune" of which
that paper affects to be proud.
The Tribune one morning published
the positive statement. pretended to be
based on conversations with gentlemen
named, that the Utah bill was shelved,
that Delegate Rawlins was lin des-
pair" over it, that Senator Faulkner
was ''visibly embarrassed when ques-
toned about it, that the Democrats
had betrayed their party in Utah,
and that the statehood movement, so
to speak, was everlastingly smashed.
That same day the Utah bill was re-
ported. All the stuff attributed to
those gentlemen was fabricated in the
alleged brain of the correspondent.
The facts were so complete a refuta-
ton of his falsehoods that there was
little need to expose them. But now
the Tribune refers to the palpable mis-
take made by the Springfield Republic
can as "a remarkable and independent
confederation" of its own palpable un-
truths! Is that irreclaimable men
dacity or hopeless and dwelling
idiocy?

LOST ITS HEAD.

Our morning contemporary has been
in one of its periodical fits of befuddle-
ment for several days. 1t appears to
have lost it's head, or perhaps the fact
is that its head is taking a rest on the
Pacific coast. One day it pats the
commonsquealers on the back and
seeks" them on to demand the privi-
lege of "untrammeled locomotion," and
declares that the only proper thing for
city and county authorities to do is to
feed them and help them along. Next
day, as now, it applauds the policy
concluded upon by Weber county, to
feed them no more and to sue the
Southern Pacific railroad people for
bringing them into the county
If that is not "the mixing of diversi-
ties" the term has no meaning. To
use its own language: 1.-THE mind that
can see any parallel between these
totally diverse procedures must be
queer mixture of partisan prejudice
and imbecility"
The poor thing is not able to see any
similarity between taking common
wealers back from Wyoming into
Idaho and back from Utah into Cali
fornia. There are none so blind as
those who will not see, and there is no
case of ''will-not-see'' so bad as that
which comes from intense partisan
bias.
There is an order of court, which
could have been made effectual if the
city authorities of Ogden had not
weakened before the power of the
Southern Pacific company at the crit
ical moment, which could now be re-
newed on proper application, and
which would restrain that company
from hauling those bands of industrials
hither, or compel them to take them
back out of our territory. 1t is easy to
The Salt Lake herald. [volume] (Salt Lake City [Utah]) 1870-1909, 1894-05-24

say that couldn't be done, but there
are some things that can be done as
well as others when the law and the
rulings Of courts are set in operation.
The Utah Southern Railroad COM
pany was and is in contempt of court
in bringing these hordes of California
Migrants over the line of Utah. 1t is
also violating the laws of this territory
and the order of the Weber county
court in pursuance of that law. Our
muddled neighbor calls the conduct of
that company hostility to and treach-
erous imposition upon the people of
Utah." and says the riding on it's cars
by these industrials SIS with the actual
not quasi consent of that company"
If the Weber county people had the
sand to do it, they could proceed under
the order of court, for which the pre-
cedent is already established, to COM
pei that company to return those
hordes whence they brought them, and
force enough could be obtained to
carry out the orders of the court, as
it could at the time when the Cover
nor met the Kelly crowd, but for the
collision of the ogden city authorities
with the railroad people.
Our contemporary is willing that we
should get all the amusement we can
out of its folly. That is charming.
We should have our fun out of it, any
how, and join with its readers in
laughing over its acrobatic feats.
On Wednesday, in one column
it applauds the action taken
by the Weber county authorities, calls
these travelling "hordes" a ''scourge'
and says Their presence is a serious
affection to the counties in their line
of march" In the next column paral
telling these remarks it says:
THE idea that the mere assemblage
OF poor men in bands is unlawful anC
their attempts to go peaceably Il
| washington an offense against the law
is the worst kind of plutocratic rot
If we were to follow its own style o
language we would say, that is thu
worst kind of mobocratic rot. 1t is OF
par with the right of @'untrammelet
locomotion.' 1t is an endeavor to en-
courage the movement which is admit
| ted to be a "scourge" and a SERIOUS
affection" to the counties burdened b.
their presence. Our neighbor has beer

on both sides, to curry favor will

and vulgar show of itself and is flop

POLITICS AND STATEHOOD.

The Denver Republican has consid-
cradle to say on the Utah statehood
question. It gives an account of the
movement. the passage of the bill in
the House and the changes made in it
by the Senate. Then it speaks of the
indications by late elections that 'the
Democrats will not have as smooth
sailing as they expected to have" and
says:
1t appears that on account of this
election changes have been made in the
bill which prevent the admission of the
new state and the election Of senators
before 1896. If this is correct inter
probation of the Democratic action, it
shows that the Democrats are in
fluenced in their conduct in regard to
the proposed states by considerations
of party advantage. That is a most
ignoble consideration and unworthy OF
men who call themselves statesmen.
We do not endorse the course of any
politician or party in denying to a ter
ritory like Utah the privileges of state
hood from considerations of party adj
vantage. That is indeed an "ignoble
consideration" A postponement of
the date of admission, however, might
be nationally viewed as prudent on the
part of men who have strong views as
to what would be good public policy.
The Democratic party have certain
measures to pass which they consider
essential to the welfare of this nation.
They do not want to endanger the car
rying out of that policy. For this rea-
son it is supposed that certain Senators
have decided that it is prudent not to
render it possible for their slight ma
jority in the Senate to be lessened.
/ Utah might send two Republican Sena-
tors and that would possibly be fatal
to their plans for the public welfare.
Now, granting that this is true, how
much more ignoble is it for Democrats
/ to postpone the admission of Utah for
party considerations, than for the Re
publicans TO keep her out altogether
for many years for party considera-
tons? If the postponement for a few
months is unworthy of men who call
themselves statesmen how much
more unworthy was the bitter hostility
and determined opposition to statehood
at all for Utah on the part of RepubI-
cans protesting to be statesmen, solely
for party ends?
The Denver Republican, like the rest
of that party, did not awake to the fact
which it now admits, that Utah is
clearly entitled to statehood, until the
probability hove in sight that it might
go in as a Republican state. For Re
publicans to find fault with Democrats
for studying party interests in con-
nection with admitting new states, is
another case of Satan rebuking sin.
For the Republican party was never
known to favor the admission of any
territory until there was at least a
fighting chance of taking it into the
Republican fold.
The Salt Lake herald. [volume] (Salt Lake City [Utah]) 1870-1909, 1894-05-24
WHAT A STATE OF MIND.


The Springfield (Mass.,) Republican
has been talking about the admission
of Utah. Probably it had read the
misleading and cooked up Ananias
Washington dispatches of the Tribune
Here is an extract from the RepubIi-
cans comments:
The advocates of the admission of
Utah have practically given up the
project for this session. 1t has come to
be generally understood that the Senate
Committee on Territories will report
no bills for the making of new States
at present. The policy of the Demo-
Gratis is said to be to postpone ali pend
ing bills undl after the campaign of
1896. and the Republicans are said to
be in agreement with this policy.
There would be no need to notice
this. as recent events show that the
Republican was mistaken, because the
Utah bill is reported and placed on the
calendar. But it appears that the Re
publicans in Congress are agreed with
other members as to the time when
new States may be admitted, and it
will be as well to bear that in mind,
when the next attempt is made to
glorify Republican Congressman as
anxious to hurry Utah into the Union.
But our morning contemporary,
which seems to be in one OF its fire.
ouent fits of alteration, quotes these
remarks as proving the truth of it's
correspondents falsehoods and actually
announces that the Springfield Repub-
lican is a ''staunch Democratic organrr
