Do o'ertake thee, or am ktetrayed2

SAMPLE COURAGE.

The Republican organ questions the
courage Of the Democratic party Of
Utah because It has lot defended B.
Il. Roberts from the charges made
against him. Is it usual for political
parties to appear in tribunals where
candidates or officials are arraigned on
a charge of misdemeanor? II United
states District Attorney Whlttemore
should knock a man down in the street
would it be the proper and essential
thing for the Republican Organization
to appear for him in the Justices court
or to use its influence in his behalf with
the attorney general?
The Democratic party elected Mr..
Roberts. It is for him to defend him
self from charges Of misdemeanor. That
is a personal matter II is no affair OF
the party.
BY the way what especial courage
have Utah Republicans shown in the
resentment or refutation of the whole
sale charges of criminality and imlnor-
ality which have been made indiscrim-
nately against the people Of Utah and
scattered broadcast over the country to
the discredit of the people and the in
jury of the state?
Rather, have not Republicans tried
to take advantage of this libeling of
the people to further the interests of
their party? Have they not put their
own heads under the straw, refusing
to see that polygamists had been IA
vOred with Office by their own admins
tration and party leaders?
And now, when The president deserts
those whom he appointed to federal
positions. what Republican leader or
newspaper has shown the couragA to
60 to their rescue, except, perhaps, the
Salt Lake Tribune. which seems to
take their removal 50 much to heart
that it assails Roberts for citing their
cases as precedents to govern the ac-
ton OF congress in relation to himself?
Have these federal officials been
basely deserted by the Republican
party and abandoned by the church?

CAGES BANK DEAL.

Secretary Gage says that he has IA
vored the Standard OIL banks with the
free use of millions of government
money because the war revenue was
draining the country of more money
than the administration needed: that
it was injurious to commerce to hold
so large an amount of money out of
circulation. Then why are these injur-
ious war taxes continued? Why are
they no. abolished?
In 1883, when the tariff was filing
the treasury and millions Of a surplus
accumulated by reason Of the econom-
zeal administration of government al
fairs, Secretary Fairchild asked con-
gress for specific instructions for the
disposal Of the surplus in the congested
treasury quite a contrast 10 the Gage
method Of favoring the banks that are
behind the administration. But William
Mckinley was dissatisfied even with the
disposition made Of the surplus by and
with the advise and consent of con-
gress. Accordingly, he criticised Mr..
Cleveland's administration. ignoring
the action Of congress endrely. passing

QUAY's PROGRAMME.


Quay is a shrewd as we'll as an I'M
scrupulous politician. He has been the
malnstay of the Republican party for
many years in Pennsylvania. The num-
Der of fraudulent votes cast or counted
under the system he has inaugurated,
and under the protection of the machine
he maintains, sweils the majority Of
his. party ever year to marvellous pro-
portions.
When he saw his term as a senator
drawing TO a close. Matthew Stanley
made no effort to SOlidifV himself with
the people. He set his machine in mo-
ton, forced the nomination of a gov
ernor upon whom he might rely in the
event Of his rejection by the Iegisla-
ture. and then he went to work in the
county conventions, backed by the
friendship and influence OF the admin
istratiOn az Washington.
No sooner was the verdict Of the leg
islature pronounced against him than
Governor Stone performed the function
for which he had been raised up, and
Quay appeared at the door of the Unit
ed States senate with credentials SINH
lar To those borne by BIr. Corbett,
which the senator from Pennsylvania
declared by his vote to be inadequate.
When it was ascertained that a ma
jOrity Of the committee on privileges
and elections had decided TO report ad-
versely on Quay's application for a seat
in the senate, he requested that his
suit be not pressed at present. He pre-
fers to wait for some fortuitous occur
renee to aid him, some close corner in
which his party will be forced to make
his admission desirable.
But a report should be made at once,
so that he VIII not obtain by stress of
partisanship that which. in justice and
upon fair deliberatiOn, is denied him;
the question at issue is not SO much
personal matter as it is one of serious
consequence and far-reaching influence.
1t is desirable TO get a ruling and
decision OF the senate as to whether
the governor Of Pennsylvania was war
ranted in his course. other governors
are awaiting a decision, and, while a
ANN40ahF fULC 4AA AAAE NELteAr ease 0DES AAlL
absolutely establish a principle or a
precedent for all time to come, the only
way to hasten the day when senator's
viii be elected by the direct vote of the
people, and occurrences Of this vexed
problem are thereby rendered impos-
sible, Is to leave the vacancies as Iegis-
IatUres leave them, and compel states
to sue for an amendment to the cOnsti-
tuition in the interest Of a popular vote.
Public interests demand a defeat Of
the programme Of postponement and
chicanery. and a decisive and imme-
date vote on the committees report,
that the governors Of Delaware. Cali
fornia and Utah may know, and that
the governor of Pennsylvania may be
convinced that such appointments are
invalid.
Then the principles Of legislative har-
mony may be enforced, and all temp
tatons for executive interference to
promote deadloclZs may be removed.
