FOREIGN PRESS COMMENT.

THE most contemplate thing which
foreign publicists and the foreign press
has to say of President Cleveland's
attitude on the Venezuela controversy
is that it is an election trick Herr
Richter says: IT suppose it is an
election trick" The Berlin Post: I'VE
must not forget that a presidential
campaign is near in America. The
means resorted to on such occasions
cannot be too drastic" The Koet-
tesche Zeftung: president Cleveland.
to our surprise, has allowed himself
to be hurried into taking steps which
would have been thought impossible.
He has thereby diminished the credit
of his second administration in the
eyes of history and prepared for his
country troubles with England merely
in order to catch a few votes for the
Democrats" The Westminster Gazette
says: 1.-THE fact is that the present
situation IS the result of an unfor-
tunate combination: on one side a
foreign secretary. who was once a
Saturday reviewer and who could not
avoid the temptation Of scoring in an
argument. and on the other side a
president who could not resist the
temptation of scoring in an electoral
campaign" The st. James Gazette:
'SThe laundering diplomacy Of Mr.
OIney and the selfish intrigues Of the
Democratic managers may leave no
solution but one The Gazette
means war. of course. The Pail Mall
Gazette: But we conclude that it is
only an election address, and we adj
wise President Cleveland to appeal to
the country immediately-befor the
Americans have time to study the
Monroe doctrine. But we fear that
even now it is too late, for the World
has already given the word fbuga boo
alas bugaboor'
The men and the press which utter
such rot as this afford the world
means of taking the measurement
of their mental capacity. Americans,
both Democrats and Republicans, dear
ly love to win an election, no doubt:
but they are not SO lost for an issue in
their politics as to resort to such a.
desperate device as that of embroiIing
their country in serious controversy
with one Of the first powers of Europe.
The suggestion that our chief execu-
tlve's action grows out Of a desire to
create political prestige for himself
or his party is despicable.

MAYOR BASKINs CASE.

The recent grand jury found an in
d1ctment against Mayor Baskin for
maintaining nuisance in the matter
OIL the catch basins. 1t created a small
sensation in town for it has been the
general opinion that if any man in all
the city government was loyal to the
law that man was Mayor Baskin. No
one Will maintain that if his honor had
done anything to justify his indict-
ment that he should not be indicted
the same as anyone else.
Wednesday morning the Mayor and
his counsel came into court and in
sisted upon trial, but it seems the pros
ecution was not ready and the prose.
cutor was given time in which to ex-
anime the indictment. At the expira-
ton Of that time he stated to the court
that in his opinion there was no
chance of conviction, and thereupon
he moved that the Indictment be dis
missed; and an order of dismissal was
accordingly entered.
Is it not proper to ask why this in
dictment was ever found? The evil
dence upon which it was found was at
l3iS oiopOooi VI II4C p1OSGCuGlOu lOr SUD-
mission to petit jury, yet the dis
trict attorney says that in his opinion
there was no chance of conviction.
Every fact exists now that existed be-
fore this Indictment was found, and if
the Mayor was ever liable he is liable
now; and the evidence is as strong and
complete as ever. There has been a
blunder somewhere.
An Indictment is most serious mat
ter and the man against whom it has
been brought, no matter in what ca
pacity, has been made to suffer more
or less pain and humiliation because
of the ignominy of it. Its dismissal
does not heal the wound he has suf-
fered, and there is a mental distress
that follows the imputation upon an
honest mans integrity and the stain
upon his reputation that is almost
inconceivable.
What has been the result in Mayor
Baskin's case? He has been outraged
the law brought into more or less dis
repute and the catch basins are where
and what they were. 1t is to be hoped
that there will be no more such farciaI
proceedings, and all in the name Of
law and decency.

Al GOOD RESULT.

One good result of the burst of war
feeling which came to the people of
the United States in response to Pres
ident Cleveland's message on the
Venezuela question was the bill in
troduced in the Senate by Mr.. David
B. Hill the other day to repeal the
law imposing disabilities on ex-Con-
federate soldiers. The main purpose
of the bill, as explained by Senator
Hill, was to wipe out the feature OF
the statute which prevents ex-Con-
federates from serving in the United
States army and navy. ut is most
opportune'' said Mr.. Hill. lat the
present moment that these men from
the South cooperate with those Of
the North in giving the country any
military or naval defense that may
be required" If we mistake not,
however. There was another and even
deeper meaning in this action on the
part of Mr.. Hill. The ex-Confederates
now living that served in the War of
the Rebellion are comparatively few,
the most of the men who bore arms
in that war have passed to the muster
rolls of the Great Beyond, and those
who remain are past fighting age; and
though the beating of the war drum
would perhaps stir their blood anew
and awaken the old war spirit, very
few of them will serve in the army
or navy of the United States in case
there is war with England That
matters but little, we have younger
men to do the fighting: but it matters
everything that the disabilities re-
ferred to by Mr.. Hill should be re-
moved. not so much that the ex-Con-
federates might help in the remotely
prospective war against England, as
that they and the whole world might
know that all animosity growing out
Of the great American Civil War is
gone, and that the United States to-
day is a happy and united country.
Senator Hill asked unanimous con-
sent for the passage of his bill, and
it is to be regretted that Senator
Platt, of Connecticut. thought it neces-
sary to raise an objection. It was a
kind Of bill not involving such com
plexities as require delay, and the pro-
verbal senatorial slowness might
have been quickened a little to help
on something that is calculated to
hasten our incoming era of good feel

CORRUPT ELECTIONS,


On the 18th of this month a resolu-
ton passed the United States Senate
charging its committee on privileges
and elections with the duty of investi-
eating the subject of organized efforts
of corporations or Of the presidents and
directors thereof, to control the election
of members of Congress or to influence
| the legislation of Congress; and also to
investigate and report to the Senate
whether corrupt means, bribery or free
transportation have been or are being
used to influence such elections. also
to inquire and report to the Senate
whether the use of such influences or
means is consistent with the preserva-
ton of the republic of the United
States and the rights and liberties of
the people, and to report a; bill for the
/ punishment or suppression of such
practices. Charging the committee on
privileges and elections with the duty
of making such an investigation is to
be commended. Still we think there is
a shorter cut to results than that pro
posed by the Senate resolution. 1t
ought to be remembered that most of
the charges of corruption and bribery
in congressional elections are connect
ed with the election of Senators. The
Senators are elected by the respective
state legislatures, a body of men so
small that the influence of bribery and
corruption can operate with peculiar
force In addition to their being few
in number to begin with. they are di-
vfded on national party lines and these
respective parties subdivided into fac
tions supporting different candidates.
until the purchase of a very few votes
by one or another of the many ways
in which bribery is accomplished elects
to the Senate those who may be but
the tools of corporations pledged to
carrying out their schemes rather than
to maintaining the interests of the peo-
pie and working for the welfare of the
country.
1t is conceded to be more difficult to
bride the whole electorate of a state
than its legislature, and with that con-
coded it would appear that the reason
able thing to do in pursuance of an
lnonest effort to rid the country of the
scandals that sometimes attach to our
senatorial elections would be to provide
for the election Of Senators by the di-
rect vote of the people Of the state.
rather than by the state legislatures.
It is true that would not altogethea, rid
US of scandals in connection with con-
gressional elections, but it would ma
terially lessen them, and that certainly
would be something. To make it pos
sible to elect Senators by the direct
vote Of the people. however. an amend
ment to the national constitution is
necessary thing most difficult of
attainment, but not impossible, and
therefore should be one of the reforms
agitated among the people.
Meantime something approaching

Utah will soon be admitted as state

the copy of the new constitution and the
other papers submitted to him which will
cause him to refuse to issue the requisite

be found. The constitution complies

INAUGURAL CEREMONIES.

The state committee appointed to ar
range Inauguration ceremonies for the
incoming state of Utah are to be con-
graduated upon the work it has so far
accomplished. The ceremonies outlined
are simple yet impressive. and the
recommendation that the day be gen.
orally observed as a holiday will meet
with universal response. The inaugural
ceremonies proper, which it is designed
shall take place at high noon in the
Tabernacle, are of a character especi-
ally to be commended in II at they are
not too long or in any way cumbersome
and contain plenty of music. There
is. happily, but one speech and that
we may be assured, since Governor
Wells will deliver it, will be brief
one. The choice of President Wood
ruff to meke the opening prayer is par
ticularly happy, since of the Few re-
naming pioneers who led the vanguard
of civilization to these mountains he is
the most conspicuous. 1t is gratifying
to know that although statehood
for Utah has been delayed half
a century since the band OF
pioneers entered Salt Lake val
ley, yet one of it's most prominent
members is still with us, and will take
part in those ceremonies that shall
fairly launch Utah upon her new and
great career as a state in the American
Union.
On Inauguration day let joy be uncon-
fined; let all the bitterness Of the past
be buried, no more to see the light; let
the sun rise that day on happy and
united people rejoicing over the birth
of a new state in the family of the
American Union

GUS danger of war with England. Euro
pean creditors would very soon want
their balances, while the people of this
country would be apt to look upon
greenbacks as they did during the
civil war. If the policy of a single gold
standard should be persisted in. the
people would be reduced to the neceS-
sity of accepting a promise to pay in
gold, knowing the chances of getting
this gold would be remote in the ex-
IRENE. Gold loans by the government
would be almost an impoSsibility. for
the gold loanfng nation of the world
is England.
The way out of this dilemma is not
so difficult as it might ait first seem.
That way is the free coinage of silver.
The silver resources OF the country are
ample to supply the money for the
most stupendous war possible. Would
it not be folly, criminal folly, for the
government at Washington not to
avail itself of these resources? The
ability of a nation to carry on a war
of any duration is largely commensur-
ate with it's ability to command the
lily command them if it does not insist
upon an unreasonable and almost i'm
possible standard Even in that event
it could command them but not with
the same facility.
The warlike talk being INDUCED in at
present should cause those in authority
at Washington to carefully consider
these matters as well as our prepare
tions for defense and offense. It is in
critical times that defects in govern
mental systems of finance come most
prominently into view. Whether the
country continues to dwell in peace or
shall go to war, it may be set down as
quite certain that the outflow of gold
will not cease. A remedy for the de-
feet it shows in our financial system
must be found.
