A new sealing company has just

The scheme to build an all-rail route
through British Columbia into Alaska
is again being discussed; this time it is
to go by way of Kamloops, the North
Thompson and Barkerville, through
the heart of Cariboo. The distance to
Barkerville from Kamloops is about
$50 miles. Such line would be of
great advantage in opening up and de-
veloping the gold fields of Cariboo, in
which section of the country, it is be-
lieved, there still is to be found more
wealth than has yet been produced.
But if such road is to be built it will
be by the Canadian Pacific Railway

The Third Term Idea-John Sherman
and His Book.
New York Herald
Without Mr.. Cleveland the Demo-
Gratis cannot win; with him they
may win. 1t was his great popularity,
frmness, and wisdom that wrested the
presidency from the-Rep1bsicsus four
years ago, and had the Democratic lead
ers needed his warnings and followed
his counsel there would not have been

His strength with the masses saved the
party from defeat in 1892, and it is the
only thing that can save it from defeat
in 1896.

Unappeasable RancOr.
New York Sun.1

Mr.. Sherman has had continuously
successful career, and it would seem
that he ought to be grateful to the
Ohio men who have kept him in Office
so long. The main object of his book,
however, appears to be complaints.
He records the events of his life, not
with the kindly spirit of the philoso-
pher looking back with tolerance from
the summit of his career upon what he
has achieved and what he has failed
on, but with the unappeasable rancor
of the man who is not grateful for
winning much, because he has missed
the great object of his hearts desire.
A sore toe in print is not an alluring
or a dignifed spectacle.

there is no present income from the
lands to pay interest on them, or is
there likely to be for some time to
come. So the warrants do not and the
building cannot go on.

Must Not Mexicanize the Office.

tChicago Times Herald]
There is no written constitutional
barrier against President Cleveland re-
naming president of the United States
for as many terms as he can manage to
get and keep Office. Secretary Merton
is right. Yet it must also be true that
the people Of the United States are not
disposed OR prepared to Mexicanize the
presidency of the United States, with
or without law. no matter how able an
official the president may be.

Senate.

Washington, Dec. 9.-The new con-
gress up to this time has been an un.
usually conservative one in the matter
of proposing new legislation. Fewer
bills than usual have been introduced,
and most of those were for projects
which failed to pass the last congress.
Plans for the admission of Oklahoma,
Arizona and New Mexico to statehood
have again made their appearance, the
first being presented by General
Wheeler, who was chairman of the
committee on territories in the last
congress, and the other two by the new
delegates of the respective territories,
Murphy and Catron.
The first bill introduced by McClel-
Ian of New York, who is one of the
young Democrats and son of General
Mcclellan, was one to authorize the
senate to confirm military nominations
made by President Lincoln, which have
never been acted upon, and the issue of
commissions to the nominees, stating

AN Appo1NrIvE JUDICIARY.

Abuses have sometimes attended popu-

prostitutions of the power of judges Tor

the whole, the elective plan must have

PROHIBITION AGAIN.

We give space to another communi-
cation on the prohibition question, for
the reason that we wish to be fair to
both sides in the controversy. 1t will
be seen that there are a good many
words with very little in them but the
letters.
The gentleman whose assertion
about Kansas is assailed. has just as
much right to tell what he knows or
thinks he knows as Populist, as If he
were a member of any other party.
And the fact. if it be fact. whicS"twe
doubt but do not care to dispute, that
the majority of the Populists are in
favor of prohibition. would not recon-
mend it to the body of the people any
more than their greenback notions.
That would not be any argument on
the prohibition side.
Now as to the Kansas and other
statistics given in the article. We do
not regard them as of any substantial
value. because statistics on the other
side are frequently adduced, and they
are an offset on each other. Further,
they do not meet the point or prove
anything in regard TO the consun.otion
Of intoxicants in the state. The
amount sold direct to people for use in
Kansas. from the points mentioned,
does not represent the amount used

STICK TO YOUR TRADE.

Bradstreet's may be very good au-
thority on trade and commercial trans
actions, but it is out Of it's place and
has its trolley off in trying to take an
excursion into Utah politics. Financial
organs had better mind their own bust
ness and leave that of other people
and papers alone, or at any rate should
be sure they are right before they
rush in on a path where ignorant feet
should fear to tread.
That business paper has tried to
cast ridicule on the Utah constitu-
tional convention for adopting, as It's
initial action, the Constitution of |he
United States. And it asserts, in a
would-be wise and pedagogical style,
that this action would seem to indi-
cate that the delegates have not clearly
realized the fact, that from the begin
ming Of the existence of the territory
it has been living, and must for the
future continue to live, without the
exercise of any volition of its own I'M
der that same constitution
The writer of that wonderful piece
of unbleached and shoddy sarcasm in
dicates, without any Seeming" that he
is in need of instruction in the elemen-
tary rules of state constitution franz
ing, and also of the provisions of the
enabling act under which the State of
Utah is to be organized. He should
learn the simple fact that the formal
adoption of the national constitution,
by a state convention, is usually one
of the first steps taken in framing the
organic law for new state. Also that
this is one of the requirements in the
Act OF Congress authorizing the Utah
state convention, and without comph-
ance with which all lis labocs would
be void.
Tell US the price OF calico and coffee,
the progress of commerce and the
status of trade, dear Bradstreet's, and
leave us to our own work which we
know far more about than you sIrear
to understand. Every one TO his il ade:
yours, evidently, is not that of in
structing others IN the principles of
fundamental law.

REPUBLICAN BLuNDERs.


Even the Republicans IN the con-
vention are dissatisfied with the re-
suits of their unlawful and unprece-
denied conduct. in violating the rules
that govern all preliminary organiza-
tions, for the purpose of forcing upon
the convention the scheme devised in
caucus for partisan purposes.
By waiting until the convention was
fully organized and appointing pro-
per committee. the same result as to
the seating of the delegates from the
Third precinct could have been
achieved, and there would have been
less doubt cast upon the validity Of the
proceedings.
The pretence put forth was that the
rights of the voters in that precinct
must be preserved. That was trans
parent subterfuge. The rights of those
voters would have been just as well
maintained by the proper course,
which would have been far more salts
factory than the improper course
that was taken under pressure of the
Republican caucus.
The real purpose was to make man
President of the convention who, it
was supposed, would act as a sop to
the Mormon voters of Utah. It has
been frankly confessed by prominent
Republicans that this was the object in
view. To effect that, the wrong done
in the incipient stage of the conven-
tons evolution was perpetuated.
Now, how do the caucus schemers
like their job? They are forced to rec
ogrfize the fact, admitted by some of
their number before the thing was
done, that the gentleman has no spec
ial adaptability for the position nor
the experience. which is necessary to
fill it acceptably. This is not any re-
Election upon him personally. 1t is
merely stating a fact which is pain
fully patent to all. and is the subject of
unpleasant reflections by the Repub-
lican press as well as by the Repub-
lican delegates.
They have made a mess of this in
two ways. In the first place it will
have no such effect as expected Upon
the voting citizens whom it was de-
signed to impress. In the second
place they have demonstrated the fact
that they have made a huge blunder
in putting up as their leading represen-
tative man who. whatever may be his
excellent qualities in other respects,
exhibits continually his unadaptability
for presiding officer of deliberatfve
body.
Just the same in the caucus choice
of a secretary. The plumbers commit
ted in the minutes, day after day. are
causing d waste of time that is doubly
valuable, costing a waste of money as
well as a consumption of the precious
moments of the life of the convention.
1t is a scandal that everybody deplores.
These are two striking illustrations
of the evil of caucus despotism and
partisan determination. The Demo-
cratic delegates have mercifully with
held any public demonstrations of their
disgust at these proceedings. But the
people of Utah should scan impartially
the spectacles presented, by the con-
duct Of the Republican legislature of
1894, and the Republican caucus con-
vention of 1895. If they want that kind
of thing to rule in the new State of
Utah, they will not exhibit any extra
ordinary judgment as a qualification
for self-government.
