failing slanderous gossip about any
body. 1t is not in accord with the po-
sition they occupy before the public.
1t is utterly at variance with the
teachings of the religion which they
profess and are paid to PROFOUND. 1t
is BAD enough when a certain class
OF newspapers employ their space in
publishing idle tales about public
functionaries. But when preachers of
the doctrines of Christ prostitute their
high calling to the diffusion of libel
lous stories, and that too against the
head of the nation, it is time that
public indignation was aroused against
them and against the practice.
We would feel sorry for our Republi-
can contemporaries who have made
political capital out of this fishing
story, in the loss of so fishy a club
wherewith to ibelabor the Democratic
President, but our contempt for their
course is too great to incite any feel
ing of sadness for this deprivasion.
While The Herald dissents from the
financial policy of the President. it is
not ready or willing to find fault with
his general official course, and certain
ly will not join in personal attacks
upon his private character and his pri-
Yate life.

A "FIsHY" FISHING STORY.

At the risk of Earring the nerves of
our anti-Cleveland contemporaries, we
venture to say something in defence of
the President, who is a constant tar
get for the shaft of the malevolent. 1t
is not long since the President was ac-
cused by a reverend minister of the
gospel of being guilty of habitual
drunkenness. The calumny Was COM
pletely refuted and the clerical de-
famer had to admit that what he had
said in public derogatory to the char
acter of Cleveland was only hearsay.
The apology was poor one and did
the defamer as much damage as he
intended his story to infiict upon the
President.
The latest SANDER concerning C1eve-
land is that he goes-a-fishing on Sun
days. This has been repeated in sew
eral Republican papers usually in a
jocular manner. But the story has
been told seriously from the pulpit or
rather from the platform. Reverend

Grace NJ. E. church of Wilmington.

People in Dover who doubted the truth
of the parsons accusation, telegraphed
to Mr.. Thurber, the Presidents pri-
vate secretary, inquiring as to the
truth of the charge. Mr. Thurber tele-
graphed the following response:
In answer to your telegram 1 beg to
state that if the Rev. DR.. Hubert said
that the President fished on Sunday
he told an absolute falsehood

Private Secretary.
This reply was presented to DR.. Hull

decessor in SANDER, made the follow

RIGHT FOR ONCE.

In ridicule of the action of the Demo-
cratic societies for extending an invi-
tation to the women of Utah, to take
part in political proceedings prelimin-
airy to the first state election, our UNI
regeHerate Republican contemporary
asks: ''Who will care for mother now?'
and replies: THE Democratic socie-
ties, so long as she has a vote and
they a chance to get it,
For once our sneering neighbor is
right Since the mothers, and also the
wives and sisters and daughters in
Utah have votes, the Democratic soci-
cites will care for them by provid-
ing them with opportunities to express
their choice of candidates, and to take
part in the primaries and conventions,
whether they are permitted to vote at
the first election or not. And the Dem
ocrats being the first to seriously and
practically engage in securing to the
women the political privileges which
they ought to enjoy, reasona bly, ex-
pect that the fair sex will not be I'M
grateful.
The Republicans in large majority
tried to prevent in practice what they
pretend to support in theory, and, of
course, will not now avail themselves
of any chance to GET the votes they
did so much to hinder. We shall see
As soon as it is determined that 'the
voters of the proposed state means
all who are made voters in the new
State by its constitution, you will see
our Republican contemporary hasten
ing to undo its open and covert an
tagonism to equal suffrage, and pro
test that it was always ready to do
justice to the female citizens of our
country.
The Democrats can serenely put up
with present Republican jeers in the
certainty of what will follow Yes,
that is all right, the Democratic soci-
cites will care for mother now" and
mother" will remember and care for
the Democratic party. If the mothers
Of the State are sound in politics, we
may feel quite secure as to the politics
of the sons and the daughters.

TURKEY AND THE ALLIED POWERS

The latest news from ConstantinonIe
is to the effect that the Turkish gov
eminent still hesitates to institute the
reforms in Armenia insisted upon bv
the European powers. 1t looks very
much as though the Sultan intended to
delay action as long as the powers
will permit, and also that he may vet
actually defy them. The mention of
the Sultan's sovereign right" in the
reply of the Turkish government to the
demand of the powers is very signi-
ficant. 1t conveys the idea that the
Turkish ruler holds himself independ-
ent of outside dictation.
According to the London Times.
Russia has no intention to take any
steps with the other powers to COM
pei reforms by the Turkish govern
ment in Armenia. The impression
prevails that there is a secret under
standing between the Car and the
Sultan, or rather between the two gov
ernments, which is unfavorable to Ar
menia but favorable to Russian pro-
jects in the south.

THE COUNTY INVESTIGATION.


The County Court has at length got
! down squarely to business. The pub
| lie have been waiting patiently for
| something definite to grow out of the
! Investigations which have been insti-
/ tuted into the expenditures of the late
County authorities. County Attorney
! Whittemore thinks. he has row data
! at his command by which he will
prove the truth of charges, which
were somewhat indefinite, that months
ago were preferred against the ex-
officials.
| 1t has been generally believed that
there was a great swindle somewhere
in the matter of supplying the City
and County Building with furniture
and fixtures. Whether it shall be made
to appear that the late county author
tiles are implicated in the alleged
steal, or that overcharges to a very
great amount have been made by the
firms supplying those articles, does
not at present seem to be clear. But
from the testimony introduced in the
investigation before the court on Tues
vances above the actual market prices
of the goods furnished have been paid
both by the City and the County, and
it is said also by the Board of Educa-
ton.
The taxpayers of Salt Lake County
are all interested in the thorough ex-
position of the facts and the figures
relatjno IN +I,ic N, a +tar Tho ;oxrac+;oro
ton will be closely watched and the
results, whatever they may be, cannot
fail to create a great public sensation.
But it must be understood that, so
far, only one side of the inquiry has
been presented, and that but partially.
Before any conclusion is reached by
the public they should wait until the
other side has been heard from. There
are always at least two sides to every
uestion. 1t is quite likely that when
the defence is heard from a very diff
ferent condition of affairs than has
now been made apparent will be pre-
sented to the public gaze.
The investigation which has been
commenced should be continued until
the whole matter has been probed to
the bottom. 1t may prove costly to
the county, and it may result in the re-
coyery of a considerable sum of money.
In any event, the County Court cannot
now recede, and however expensive the
inquisition shall prove, this great
scandal must be settled by the dis
closure of all the facts and figures and
circumstances connected with the
financial doings of the former authori-
ties of Salt Lake County.

throws some light on the attitude of
the Turkish government towards the
powers which insist on different
Turkish policy towards Armenia, is
furnished by Prof. Salome. Speaking
from personal knowledge and expert
ence, he states that the term 1.-THE
Sublime Porte is misapplied to the
government of the Sultan and his
ministers. The Ottoman Empire is
only an empire in name so far as the
Sultan and his immediate associates
are concerned. 1t appears that the
real power behind the throne is welded
by the Ullemahs. They are the high
priests of Islam. These sheiks are
said to absolutely control the Sultan,
dominating his will and acting through
his ministers to shape his whole pol
icy.
Abdul Hamid II. is generally con-
sidered man of ability, intelligence
and culture. He is acquainted with
European progress and European
methods of government. But at the
same time it is stated that he is SUBJ
ject to the religious influence welded
by the Ullemahs, and is a prey to the
superstition which it is to their in
terest to encourage. Their contempt
and hatred of all Christians is gener-
ally conceded. If this estimate of
their power over the Sultan is correct,
it is easy to understand why the in
human treatment of the Armenians
has been permitted if not encouraged
by the Turkish government.
What the other European powers
will do in the event of defiance to
their demands on the part of the Sui
tan, if Russia fails to unite with them
in pressing those demands, is a seri-
Gus question. 1t may mean war in
which Russia and Turkey will be ar
rayed on one side and the allied pow
ers of Europe on the other. How
ever, we think the Turkish govern
ment will hesitate even with so strong
a backing to engage in d contest with
such a. formidable enemy, knowing
that even if victorious, which would
be extremely improbable, the con-
cessions which the Sublime Porte
would have to make to the Car of all
the Russias would be more costly and
humiliating than compliance with the
demands of the other great powers of
Europe.

THE SILVER DEMOCRACY.

These men apparently have no doubt
whatever of their ability TO control the
next Democratic national convention,
name a free silver candidate and secure
the adoption of a platform explicitly de-
claring for the debaSement of American
currency by the unrestricted coinage of
dollars worth fifty cents apiece.
Under the influence of better times the
cheap money movement may dWindle to
comparatively harmless proportion within
the next year. Unless II does. a savage
fight for the leadership of the democratic
organization in 1896 with the chances
decidedly in favor of the free silver men,
is practical certainty.-New York Com
mercial Advertiser.
If the silver reform is to be fully ac-
complished it must be through the Demo
cratic party. That is the ancient organi-
cation which combines the principles of
simple and economic government, home
rule, taxation for public purposes and
equal rights, with a thorough reform OF
the currency in the interest of the whole
people. In the present fight it will have
allies in the Republican and Populist
parties. 1t will temporarily lose some
of its members, who Will find refuge for
their monometallic sentiments in the Re
publican fold. The gains Will be greater
than the losses, though and after the
settlement of the silver question the old
parties will return to their old divisions
and the third party Will rapidly disappear
