Corrupt Dispensary Law Practices.

COLUMBIA, 5. C.. Sept. 9.-The dis
closures IN come ctinn with the ad-
ministration of the dispensary law in
this state have created the most in
tense interest. The facts evidently
were brought to the surface by the
bitterness of the fight between Judge
Earl and Gov. Evans for senatorial
honors. Both Tillmanites and con-
servatives freely admit that the public
charges and admissions of corruption
means the doom of the present dispen-
SarV system.

COLONEL MORRISON AND SILVER.

For sometime past the name of
Colonel w. NJ Morrison has been fe-
quently mentioned in connection with
the Democratic nomination for presi-
dent. Whatever of serious considera-
ton has been given his name as a
possible candidate has been confined
almost entirely to his own state,
Illinois. SO seriously has the matter
been taken there that Mr.. Morrison has
felt it incumbent upon him to define
his position upon the financial ques-
ticn. Through his lieutenants he has
sent word to the Illinois Democratic
state executive committee that the free
silver idea must be repudiated before
they could use his name with author
ity as the Democratic organizations
presidential candidate. He also insists
that the national delegates from
Illinois must be sound money Demo-
Gratis. All this sounds very much like
the terms of a dictator.
That the Democratic committee
should have been dumbfounded is not
surprising. The general impression in
the west has been that Colonel Morri
son was inclined to be favorable to
silver, though his views upon the sub
ject were not really known. They are
known now and make him an abso-
lutely unavailable candidate to the
Democracy of the silver producing
states. What strength his position on
the money question will give him with
the gold standard element of the party
we cannot say, but we incline to the
opinion that it will not be great.
In the past Colonel Morrison endeared
himself to the Democracy of the coun-
try by his bold and manly stand on
the tariff question; his stand on the
money question will not so endear him
to the Democracy. Holding the views
he does we are glad he has announced
them in such plain and unequivocal
terms. There is no straddling, no eva
sion, no beating around the bush. We
cannot accept his views but we honor
him for the manly way in which he
puts them forth.

right of contract. If it is good thing
to compel all firms, associations and
corporations to pay their employees at
stated times, it must be a good thing
to compel individuals who employ men
to do the same thing Men who sell
their labor and men who purchase it
may safely be left to arrange their
own terms of contract.
AS Mr.. Howard has undertaken to
regulate the time of payment of wages
we wish to point out most serious
defect in his bill. for if it is to become
law we desire that it shall be as per-
feet as possible. He undertakes to reg
ulate the time when those firms, as
sociations and corporations who are,
or have been, in the habit of paying
their employees at stated or definite
times" shall pay them. No provision
is made as to when those firms, asso-
Citations and corporations that are not,
or have not been, or never will be in
the habit of paying their employees at
stated or definite times, or at all, shall
pay. This is a serious if not fatal de-
feet. The legislator who can make
such firms, associations and corpora
lions pay their employees at stated
times, or at all, will confer a blessing
upon the workingmen. Let Represen-
tative Howard try his hand on this
problem.

THE CHURCH NOT RpPR BsExrED.

The Boston Herald has the following
reflections respecting Mormon
SENATOR
The Mormon church is now repre-
scented in the United States Senate.
This appears to shock the sensibiltties
of some of our contemporaries, but it
is to be remembered that the same
church has had delegate in the
House Of Representatives for a good
many years. We suppose this senator
will not be any more dangerous be-
cause Of his religion, and we are in
clined to think that he will not allow
it to interfere very much with his poll
tics. He is Of the Republican faith.
and, of course, comes with Republican
Endorsement. 1t used to be said that
the Mormons were all Democrats and
perhaps they were at the time the Re-
publican national convention resolved
their religion to be a twin relic of
barbarism;" but times have changed
since then, and the Republican party
is nowadays not much troubled about
it's share of the Mormon vote AS
usual, it has been successful in obtain
ing this, and our impression is that the
senator elected was one of the fruits
of its skill in drawing Mormons away
from the Democrats and utilizing them
in the Republican ranks.
We take no exception to- the remarks
of the Herald except as to the first
sentence, THE Mormon Church is now
represented in the United States SEN
ate" That is not true Mr.. Frank ].
Cannon does not represent the Nor
mon Church in the United States SEN
ate The Mormon Church has no more
representation in the senate than the
Methodist, or the Catholic Church has.
Nor has the Mormon Church any more
need of a representative in Congress
than those churches have. The war
so long waged against the Mormon re-
ligion in Congress has ceased. The
ostensible cause of that war was re-
moved by action of the church itself
and the congressional war upon it
ended, never, we hope, to be renewed.
The Mormon Church has no policy
that requires representation in Con-
gress. In common with other churches
the Mormon Church can only expect
the enjoyment of that religious free
dom which will enable it to work out
its mission for the salvation of men,
and by the employment of moral and
spiritual forces seek to make better
the moral and spiritual condition of
men.
No, the Mormon Church has no re-
preventative in the Senate Mr.. Frank
J. Cannon represents Utah in the SEN
ate. He was chosen by the Republ-
can party for that honorable station.
Had the Mormon Church as such
chosen a senator to represent it in the
Senate, 1t would not have chosen Mr..
Cannon

PAYMENT OF EMPLOYEES.

Representative Howard of Emery has
introduced into the house bill defin-
ing the time at which salaries of en-
ployees of firms, associations and corpo-
rations shall be paid. It provides that
''all firms, associations or corporations
that are at the time of the approval of
the act, or that may hereafter do bus
mess in the state of Utah, and who
have wage earners in their employ.
either in the business of mining, man
ufacturing or any other employment,
and who are. or have been in the habit
of paying their employees at stated or
definite times, shall make all payments
in lawful money Of the United States
to their employees at least twice in each
month, the first payment to be made
between the fifteen day and the TWEEN
tieth day Of each month for all work
or labor performed before the fifteenth
day thereof; the second payment to be
made between the last day of the
month and the fifth day of the follow
ing month, for all work or labor per-
formed between the fifteenth day and
the last day of the month prior to said
last payment"
Such bills should not become law, for
they are an interference by the state
in private business matters. Moreover,
they are an infringement upon the

OUR DUTY TO ITALY.

President Cleveland has addressed
the propriety of making from the public
treasury a reasonable pecuniary pro-
vision for those Italians who were in
jured and the families of those who
were killed at Walsenberg, Colo, in
March of last year. Accompanying
the message is the report of Secretary
Olney who says the facts are without
dispute and that mo comment or argu-
ment can add to the force of their ap-
peal to the generous consideration of
congress-
No where in the presidents message
or the secretary's report is the question
of the liability of the general govern
ment raised. This is well, and that
which the president asks of congress
should be done forthwith Were an
American citizen Iynched or wantonIy
murdered in a foreign land the United
States would demand full and prompt
reparation and insist upon it. That
which we demand we should be ever
ready to grant in such cases as this. If
congress Will graclouSly make an ap-
preparation as asked it will go a very
long way towards healing Italy's
wounded feelings. Fortunately no
serious complications have arisen out
of the Walsenberg tragedy, while in his
note to Secretary Olney on the subject,
Baron Fava, the Italian ambassador at
Washington, suggests that the amount
which may be deemed suitable to in
demnify the families of the victims he
would leave to your high and be-
nevolent appreciation, according to the
spirit of justice which prompts all of
your actions"
1t is a very proper suggestion and
made in the most friendly spirit. Let
congress do justice to the families of
these victims, and do it without any
delay.

litically, as in some measure to repay
financial losses, and compensate for
many annoyances attendant upon pub
lie life. The rule, so far as my OBJ
servation goes, however, is that even
under the most favorable circumstan-
ceS the prizes have been few and the
disappointments many"
There can be no question but what
business and professional men in ac-
cepting positions of public trust do so
very generally at a sacrifice, even
when the remuneration seems reason
ably large. Yet it should be remem-
bered that there is such thing as
honor in these positions of public trust;
and their desirability should not al
ways be measured from a sordid cash
basis. If the time has come that Office
is sought only for the salary the office
yields. then the great republic has in
deed but a precarious hold upon ex-
istence. If men are no longer infiu-
enced by patriotic sentiment to accept
Office at the sacrifice of personal COM
fort, and pecuniary loss, there has
been a deplorable shrinkage in Ameri-
can patriotic sentiment in the last gen
Grafton or two.
The existence of professional politi-
clans is often depIored, but what is to
be expected when the class of men
whom the people would choose if they
had a chance will not make the per-
sonal sacrifice necessary to serve the
people? It cannot result otherwise
than that offices of cities, states and
nation will be filled with inferior men
who lower the tone of official life and
drag corruption into the affairs of gov
eminent. The American people need to
exalt patriotism, to set less value
upon wealth and more upon honor, and
the confidence and esteem of their fell
low men. 1t will help the people. 1t
will improve the government.

MIR. HAR1soN,s RET1REsrENr.

Mr.. Benjamin Harrison has frankly
announced himself not a candidate for
the Republican nomination for the Of
fee of President of the United States,
and says that he cannot consent that
his name be presented to or used in
the st. Louis convention, and asks
that his friends accept this statement
as a sincere and final expression upon
this subject
Mr.. Harrison has done himself honor
by this action. AS he himself observes
in his communication on the subject
the Republican party has twice in ma
tional conventions given him its en-
dorsement, and once he was honored by
election to the high Office of President
OF these United States, and that is
enough. 1t is a good thing to know
when to quit, and Mr.. Harrison has
done himself more honor by retiring
than even another election would have
done him. 1t takes him out of the
category of mere place hunter, and
adds dignity to that retirement from
public life which will doubtless be his
OF course his retirement will be well
coined by other Republican candidates.
and doubtless will simplify the situa-
ton. With Mr.. Harrison out of the
race it practically leaves the Republic

SUPREME COURT DECISION.


The supreme court rendered deci-
sion yesterday which disposes of the
question Of probate judges continuing
in office until the expiration of the
time for which they were appointed
by the president Of the United States.
1t was held by some, among them by
James c. McNally, the probate judge
for Salt Lake county, that under the
provisions of the constitution, probate
judges could hold over under the state
government until the terms for which
they had been appointed expired. This
led the attorney general of the state
to bring an action before the courts
to GUST the judge, and the decision of
yesterday terminated in favor of the
contention of the state. The decision
rendered was to the effect that the
constitution manifests a general intent
to dispense with probate courts, and to
give the district courts Jurisdiction of
probate matters" The concluding par
agraph of the decision, which will be
found in full elsewhere in this issue,
says: From the foregoing considera-
tons, we are disposed to hold that the
trainers of the constitution intended in
section eight, under consideration, to
extend the term of probate judges I'm
der state government to the second
Monday in January, 1896. and no fur
ther''
The decision is most assuredly in
harmony with the intent of the con-
stitution, and will give general salts
faction. The new judiciary system
provided by the constitution will now
begin its career in all departments con-
templated by the constitution makers.
