Mercur Mites.

/ MERCUR. Sept. 19.-In the case Of the
state Of Utah against E. L. Benner.
charged with violating the eight-hour
law, County Attorney Mcbride appear
ed for the state.
When court met Mr.. Mcbride moved
for dismissal on the grounds that the
complaint, which he had just seen for
the first time, charged that the offense
was committed on the 10th, while the
complaining witness claimed that he
was not in the company's employ at
that time. In dismissing the case, Jus
tice Walsen stated that he was an
officer in the federated trades, but he
wanted it distinctly understood that
when ten men came before him and
were willing to swear to complaints
charging offenses which afterwards
proved false, it would be a bad thing
for the compliments. Neither did he
propose to have men swear to COM
plants and then allow corporations
TO buy them off. He was there TO adj
minister the law and he intended to do
it justly. He taxed the costs against
the complaining witness and dismissed
the case
Another complaint was Immediately
sworn to and Mr.. Benner arrested.
Mr.. Worden, the registration officer,
has already registered over 900 voters
and estimates that there will be over
100 voters registered in the precinct.
An element in the Republican party
is causing the ofT1ceholders much worry
and Vexation of spirit. They want to
enforce a rule that no one shall hold
a second term, but some of the boys
would like another innings. Recorder
Hickman, the county clerk, Bryan.
Sheriff Mcclellan and a few others are
among those who believe they can con-
fer dignity and honor on the position.
Judge Burris of tEis place would like
to hold the position Of county attorney
and is absolutely IN the hands of his
friends.
The report that the AIercur had Or
dered new tanks, as stated by the Trib-
une, was a surprise to the company
officials here. Another case of going

thu United States Senate has fallen
i'm the opinion of its fellow-citizens. The
press reports told rs yesterday that on
Thursday, Senator Aldrich tried TO goad
Mr. Jones. Of Arkansas, who had pre-
liminary charge Of "the bond bill, TO
bring il to "a vote. and Mr.. Jones inu-
mated that he would ask unanimous con-
sent 10 have day next week hXed Tor
that purpose And what is the bond
bin"? We venture to say that there Is
not one citizen in thousand in the
United States that has any idea what
it is. 70 find out, it would be neces-
sary to turn to the records and 20 over
a dreary waste of rubbish, 10 state just
what the provisions Of it are correctly
The people know nothing OF 1t. and they
pay no more attention 10 the Senate's
proceedings in connection with it than
they pay to the resolutions Of county
convention Of Populsts on finance.
Just before Mr.. Aldrich Doked Mr.. Jones
in the ribs. Mr.. Pugh made an effort to
get the Senate to take UP his resolu-
ton. declaring the Government oblga-
tons all payable at fifty cents in the
dollar. bat he found that the nimble-
fingered gentleman from New York, Sen
ator Hill, had worked a trick on Dim,
and had cut his resolution out OF its
place The resolution and the proce-
dure applied to it are of a piece. and
both are worthy of the Senate Of to-
day.
The United States Senate is the weak
spot in our institutions. and it will de-
stroy them unless the Constitution is
amended so as 10 cause Senators to be
elected by the direct vote Of the people.
IL is now, in great part, a body of men
sent to the Senate by special interests.
The United States Senate. therefore, no
longer represents the people Of the
United States. The most important
proposition of the day. after settling the
gold standard, is amending the Constitu-
ton, so as to make senators elected by

The matter FOR good roads for Virginia
IS a subject which should claim the at
tention of the Legislature now in session
az Richmond. Good roads for the entire
state is something greatly needed in Nir-
cinia. and If they can be had without en-
failing too much expense-the cost equit-
ably distributed-lt is a question 10 which
orr lawmakers should address themselves
without delay. Everybody wants good
roads-they are desirable alike for the

comfort. and II they can bc had az fair
cost by all means let US have them.

The New York World processes to know
that Mr.. Cleveland has expressed him
self as most pointcdly opposed 10 the
resolutions Of Senator Davis. defining
this countryss attitude towards foreign
governments having anything to DO with
this continent. IL Is the New York
World which gives the public this infor-
nation. and the public Will accept it,
therefore. for what IL may think the in
formation worth But there have been
other evidences that Mr. Cleveland does
take this view of Senator Davis rcsolu-
tions. so that it is quite in order to ask.
wherein is the difference between Cieve-
lands war message and Davis resolu-
tons?
Cleveland ,sradously permitted Eng
land to settle her quarrel with Nene-
zuela. and promised that this country
would abide by that settlement. while
Davis forbids England TO settle the quar-
rel. and notifies her that this country
will not consent 10 any arrangement she
may make. Otherwise. where is the
difference between the two? We have
got 10 fight England upon the doctrine of
either Of these two statesmen. for she
will no more concode what Cleveland de-
mands that what Davis demands.
Meanwhile we are informed that the
representatives of the South American
republics al Washington are considerably
nettled at the humiliating position in
which they are put by the Davis doe
trine. They are classed as natural in
fants or imbeciIes. incompetent to con-
tract. and are practically made wards of
their self-appointod guardian, the United
States.
This very naturally excites their re-
sentiment.
Strange it IS that this view of the case
did not occur TO the jingo committee OF
the Senate. But then jingoism is not
convertible term with wisdom.
MIR. Cleveland, however, seems 10 be
recovering his senses, and the country
is recovering somewhat from the terrible
shock he gave it a few weeks ago, but
IL will be a long time before We en-
ureiy recover.
