ENCOURAGING CoxEY1sM.

Whatever encouragement Coxeyism
has received from the press will be
found on investigation to proceed from
Republican and Populist papers. The
patting on the back received from
them has emboldened the commonweal-
ers to demand what other Migrants
usually plead for And when they can,
not gain what they desire they will
seize it. feeling security in their num-
bers. For much of the lawlessness
which has disturbed the territory we
may thank the Republican press which
has espoused the cause of the disturb
ers. glorifed their purpose. placed the
burden of their support in the light of
public duty and denounced the rail-
road companies which refused them
free transportation.
1t is very late in the day for our
morning contemporary to rush forward
in break-neck fashion. demand what it
has vehemently and brutally de-
nounced, and opposes what it has but
just now approved and commended.
The companies surging into the terri
tory are now "hordes;;" the reserves
are "mischievous fellows" the indus
trials" are called a "scourge,'' a de
cided menace" and their presence a
serious disturbance" A few days ago
they were only poor men, on mis-
sion," whose right to ''untrammeled
locomotion" must not be interfered
with It was wrong even for court
to intimate that their project would be
failure, and any strong measures
were denounced as likely to disturb
the traditions of American history"
Carterism has been and is today en-
couraged by Republican sheets which
put the objection to the course pursued
in Furnishing the train-stealers on the
ground of cost. That is as much as to
say, because it might have been cheap
err to load those loafng "industrials''
on f1rst-elass trains and ship them out
OF the territory. than to punish their
attractions of law, Utah would have
been justified in dumping the disturb
ers on other communities as California
has treated us

mails of any kind, as matter of econo-
my Utah should ship them to the east.
That is very moral view of the ques-
ton, is it not? 1t may be cheap but it
is very nasty. And that will apply to
every project to rid ourselves of the
commonwealers recommended by Utah
Republican papers.
The Southern Pacific company seems
ready now to make good promises. If
the policy marked out by Governor
West and sanctioned by the courts had
been followed at the first, we would
not have been overrun by the ''hordes''
which now form a menace" to the
peaceful people, from Ogden down
through Davis, Salt Lake, Utah and
other counties. Peoule who disagreed
with that policy at the first, through
the Misrepresentation of the Tribune,
now acknowledge that it was right.
They are to be congratulated on gel
ting their eyes open, and they should be
careful in the future not to follow
again g, blind guide.
On the cause which has led to the
folly of those men who really mean to
go to Washington. imbued with the
false idea that the government can
supply them with work, or money, or
both, Governor Hogs, of Texas, has
expressed an opinion, which we here
append. It will not be relished by our
protectionist friends, but it contains
the germs at least of a political truth:
1t is due to the doctrines of paternal-
ism with which the Republican party
has impregnated the entire country.
These people from the eastern states
have been led to depend upon the gov
eminent, to look to the government for
their daily bread, so to speak, and now
the injurious effects of such a doctrine
are beginning to be manifest. In com
ing to the government and asking for
bread, these people are beggars in the
same sense as is the nulti-millionaire
who comes to the government and asks
for concessions and for help in manu-
featuring industries. The only differ
ence between the two is that the poor
man has only his empty stomach and
his weakened and emaciated frame to
present as arguments and justification
for the granting of his request, and the
millionaire his barrels of money. The
money is more powerful and conse-
quently is more convincing to the law
makers. These poor fellows are beg
gars, and so are the millionaires. The
government helps the one but refuses
to help the other.

are four of those "baubles" on view in

In the large diamond Maltese cross,
Immediately over the forehead of the
wearer, is the famous ruby which is
said to have been given to Edward,
the Black Prince, by Don Pedro, King
OF CASTLE, after the battle of Najera,
near Vittoria, in the year 1867. This
ruby was worn in the helmet of Henry
V. at the battle of Agincourt, and it
is pierced quite through in the eastern
fashion. Three other Maltese crosses,
Win emerald centres, form the back
and sides of the crown, and all are
bordered with brilliants. The alter
mating fleur-de-lys have ruby centres,
and are surrounded by rose diamonds.
From the crosses issue four semi
arches of oak leaves and acorns, the
leaves of rose, table, and brilliant dia-
monds, and the acorns of pearls set in
diamond cups. From the upper part
of the arches four large pendants of
pearls in diamond cups are suspended.
The mound of brilliants stands above
the arches, and the whole is surmount-
ed by the cross on the summit This
ornament has a rose-cut sapphire in
the centre, and is surrounded by dia-
monds. The following is summary

an officer, who is appointed by the lord
chamberlain.
