AMERICAN LABOR UNIONS.

John Burns, the English labor leader
and agitator, is in this country and
naturally attracts more or less atten-
ton, and interviews with him find their
way into the press. In an interview
in Denver, speaking of labor unions in
America, he said:
Certain it is, however, that in some
districts in America labor unions do not
get that social and judicial lead which
we command in the old country. But
everything comes to him who waits and
works. To urge the necessity of work
is the object of my present visit to
America, to tell the laborers of the re-
suits we have accomplished and TO see
the results that have been accomplished
here.
This is very largely so, but it should
be remembered that in England the
labor union organization has proceeded
along with the political emancipation
of the laboring class; in fact it might
be said that it has been an evolution.
In the old country the amelioratio of
the workingmen's condition has been
brought about by those possessed Of
political power while the worklngmen
themselves did not possess it. This
ainelioration of their. condition has
generally been accompanied by some ex-
tension of the elective franchise .
Another reason why the trades unions
have not exercised the same power and
influence in this country as in the old
country is that they are natural
growth there while they were an exotic
here. There the unions have very
largely remained independent While
here they have grown up such gigantic
and cumbersome organizations as the
knights of Labor and the Federation
of Labor, which have become dicta torial
and domineering and sought to make
of their members nothing but tools
The consequence has been that they
have come into disrepute as rapidly as
they have come to full maturity. In

faction that the Secretary of the In
terror has acceded to his request and
ordered the return of the Indians tc

a bin to add a piece of territory in the
south to the State of Utah
The strip lying adjacent to our bord-
|ers on the south and which is now in
cluded in the Territory of Arizona
naturally and geographically belongs
within our domain. 1t has to be
entered upon in order to travel from,
one to another of our extreme southern
settlements. A journey from St
George to Kanab and vice versa necsssi-
tates the crossing of a portion of that
strip. It is separated from the main
part of Arizona by high mountains, and
while access to central points in our
sounthern counties is easy, such places
in Arizona are very difficult to reach.
Our neighbor on the south has no
interest in keeping that strip of country.
and we believe would be rather glad to
get rid of it. as it Is expensive to extend
to it the benefits of the local govern
ment. The boundaries Of the new
state can be easily extended southwark,
SO as to include the strip mentioned.
and the people who sparsely innabit it
would be very much pleased with the
change.
We hopesour Delegate will be as sue
cessful and expeditions in accomplishing
this needed change as in his other leg
islative efforts for the benefit of Utah.
Every such act will be new reminder
to those who have not valued sufficient
ly his faithful services, that his congress

commendable.

NO FUNNY BUSINESS.

The attempt of the Republicans in
California to foist upon the state for
Governor a man not elected by the
people. is not commented upon by
local papers of that party, which are
ready to accuse the Democratic party
of that sort of corruption. when there
! is not even a smell of evidence to jus
| tify it.
The returns in that state, in spite of
the manipulation of Republican cleo
ton officers, show a plurality of 1900
for Budd, whose chief opponent is
Judge Estee. The only way by which
the latter can be counted in and his
opponent bundled out, is to throw
aside a number of precincts altogether
and force the issuance of a, certificate
to the Republican who is the defeated
candidate, on that basis.
This is to be accomplished if possible
through the courts, which-ar Repub-
lican in politics. But Judges have to
act within the lines of the law. and
any palpable violation of established
rules of jurisprudence would be dan
gerous in their case. And besides, the
judiciary are less likely to defy law
and the public will expressed at the
polls than are the politicians. So. an
ticipating ADVERSE action by the courts
in aid Of this attempt, the Republican
plotters, so it is declared, intend to
carry the contest into the legislature,
which is safely Republican, where they
think they can accomplish their end
if the courts fail them.
That is a very pretty plot. And it
has the significance of local applica-
ton. Discrepancies have occurred in
the canvass of votes in a number of
precincts for delegates to the constitu-
/ tional convention, and it is the wish of
all just citizens of every political faith
to have a. fair and honest count But
attempts are being made through the
courts to stop that, and force the issu-
ance Of certificates based on those evil
IDENTIFY incorrect returns. And our
morning contemporary suggests that if
that muzzle should fail of application,
the contest can be carried into the con-
vention, which, according to its count,
Will have a good majority of Repub-
lican delegates can be counted in any
how.
We are of the opinion that in the
Utah case, whatever may be done in
California, the plot will not succeed.
We believe there are enough fair
minded and honest Republicans elected
to that convention who will stand by
the right, TO defeat any such scheme
as that lined out by a Republican paper
No one wants to defraud any duly
elected Republican delegate of his
rights. All that has been attempted
is to have the returns correctly count
ed. That ought to be done if it is
compatible with the election laws, and
we have confidence that the law in the
case in this territory will be justly
administered. Don't attempt any Cal
ifornia funny business. Let justice
take its course.

no argument need be used to
establish its error. The Democratic
platform rightly denounced 1t as "a
miserable nakesEift and both parties
united in the effort for its repeal.
But the fault found by the silver men
/ Of the west with the action taken upon
iit in Congress. was the failure to pro-
vide something better in the place of
the repealed provision. The extreme
silver papers denounced Voorhees, and
Others, whom they called ihypocrites'
and purchased traitors for not in
ssisting upon a free coinage bill as a
substitute for the purchase clause.
| The truth is, that those men who
were thus berated honestly believed
that the existing provision was wrong
and Of evil effect, and they did not be-
| lieve 1t possible. then, to pass free
silver coinage measure In tie first
Eplace there were not enough votes to
insure it's passage in both Houses. In
the next place the probability was
! that President Cleveland would veto
"a free silver bill, if it could have been
passed, and there certainly was not a
sufficient majority in its favor to pass
such a bill oveE his veto.
Those gentlemen, then, took what
yhey believed to be the best course
undyr aGl the circumstances. They
cleared the way TO further and better
Legislation on silver by removing the
Sherman obstruction. They hoped for
a fairer opportunity than was pre-
sented to reach the desired silver goal.
| The aI5use heaped upon them was, as
/ we then maintained, undeserved. We
hoped for some action as to silver dur
ling the present Congress. Something
! will be attempted but we do not be-
lieve, with the vote of the country in
November on record, that it can pos
sibly be successful
The advocates of silver, however,
who appeared to some hasty persons

from the silver cause when voting for
1.-The unconditional repeal BILL may
have an opportunity of placing them
selves on record and putting them
selves right before the country, as gen.
uine silver men before This Congress
closes.
BY doing that they can prepare for
the battle royal that is to come. They
can align themselves with the other
champions of the white metal, who
nave not turned TO the right or
the left for expedaency or amy
other cause, and can lay the founda-
ton for a silver platform, on which
the Democracy can stand firmly in the
next presidential campaign.
voorhees, is all right on silver, and
others who took the same ground as
he did on the repeal question are with
him on the main issue. Let the DEM
ocracy of the South and the West
unite solidly for silver, and they can
win in the next great struggle and lead
the nation out of the darkness and
depression which have come since the
evil act Of 1873, and into the light and
prosperity of an abundant binletall ic
currency shining with the splendor Of
the golden SUN by day ana the radi-
ance of the silver moon by night.

VOORHEES, AND SILVER.


A great deal of abuse was heaped
upon Senator VOORHEES, when he was
pressing the passage of the bill for the
repeal of the silver purchase provision
of the Sherman law. He had always
claimed to be a bimetallist He did
not then avow any change in his
views as to the necessity of silver
money as we'll as gold. But he favored
and worked for the unconditional re-
peal of the silver purchase clause.
The Senator now proclaims that his
position as to the silver question is the
same today as it was before the Sher-
man law was enacted. He advocates
of 1887. That means the free and IN
limited coinage of silver as we'll as
gold at the present ratio between the
two metals; and he does not insist up-
on waiting for an International agree
ment on this question. He therefore
stands in line with the foremost ad-
vocates of the white metal as money
Why, then, it may be asked, did he
work SO actively for the repeal bill?
The Herald showed at the time of the
agitation on that question, that some
of the strongest silver men voted for
the repeal of the Sherman purchase
provision conscientiously, as a meas
ure to which the Democratic party
was pledged, and because they be-
lieved, with others. that the existing
law was inimical to the interests of the
country, and one of the chief causes
of financial disturbance and business
depression.
Whether they were correct or not
in their opinions as to its effects upon
the country, they We're certainly right
in their views as to the wrong in prin-
ciple involved in the purchase of sill
yer by the government for any other
purpose than coming it into money.
That is SO clearly improper that

will learn much. The problems that he
