'J'o be sure thcro are gome who assert thai the democrats have not oixauized etfeclually and that the step made on that tide of the house will be retraced. Those who hui; that idea to their hearts initht as well dismiss it. The names of some, democrats were"ineu-tiune-last evening as uot be'intf iu the imi'ty iiiovemeiit. Wo are reliably in-formed io rei.pcot to several of those whose names were so used that thoy are in full sympathy with the movement, ami that they will take occasion to de-clare themselves at no distant day. The new departure has gotiu 10 far and gained so many adherents that iioiio can keep aloof from it indefinitely, and it is worse than folly lor any liberal to entei taiu the hope that the local democracy is to go to pieces. The democratic meeting at which democratic organization was in-- u sed was public. It was widely ad-vertised; it was generally attended and there was not a dissenting voice heard. Neither will it do to fall back on the cluiui that those who may not have been present are iu opposition. If there were any such opposition we would hear of it. but no democrat has been quoted against the course pursued by his pally. The opposition does uot ex-ist in any effective degree; and the re-publican protestor might just as well concede that ut tho ouUet and lace the situation as it is. Tiik Timks would like to nsk: How many close observers are there in the republican party who do not as a mat-ter of fact, realize that party orjauia tion is inevitable? We have heard a i,Meat many so express themselves io private who would not be quoted, and the expression has been so unanimous that wo are inclined to believe that, with a few exceptions, tho opponents of this movement are tight ing it from dozedness of purpose rather than from any cloar idea of where their course wilt lead to. In conclusion, The Timk.s would state its conviction that the spirit which prompts rejection of the manifold evi-dences of sincerity on the part of the people's party ia all wrong. That spirit is dying out, and its disappear-ance has given rie to the political agitation that is now in progress. This is a point that the obstructionists fail to make nolo of. There are thousands of gentiles who have made up their minds that the church is ai ling in good faith Their opinions cannot be changed by appeal to old feelings. On the con-trary, their number is being daily in- - creased. 'I hesu people, having given their confidence, will not withdraw it, and you might as well attempt to turn back Niagara as to try to check the transformation of thought that is in progress. It cannot be checked, aud the political change that it presses for-ward cannot be avoided. 1IIB OKOANIATION MOVEMKNT. There are a few republicans in tho city w ho insist upon asserting that an nttetiiDt has been made toirgani.o the party in a corner. No greater misap-prehension could be entertaiued, Some one had to take the initiative in the face of a grave crisis. Those who shouldered this duty laid out an open program. They arranged for n mass meeting of republicans of which duo uotice has been given and which will be held iu accord-ance with that call. I u view of this fact those who deuotiuce the men w ho took the lead must come to a realizing sense of the fact that they are eminently un-just iu the course that they pursue. The situation is one that has to be met fairly and earnestly and it will not do to denounce indiscriminately aud rely upon fortuitous circumstances to set things right iu the future. This caution not to rely upon chancs may be specially directed at thoso who utsitt that a republican club shall uot be formed iu this city and who apparently packed the court room lust evening in tho hope of defeating such an orgaiiiutiou. Tbu gentlemen who are interested in form-ing such a club had wisely decided thai U would be better to postpone the or-ganization until after the Weduusday night meeting, so tho chance to break it up, if such a thought were enter-tained, was not afforded. Thoso gen-tlemen ought to take enough pride iu the republican party to be willing to sou its principles taught here, and we con less that we are aslouuded to find a club movement opposed in Biicb a man ner. There is only one explanation of it and that is that tho gentlemen re-ferred to do not understand what the ' objects and purposes of a republican club, organized in connection with the national league, are. Such a club in an educational organi-sation and and a school of discipline. Tho league distributes a vast amount of literature and it is distributed through the local clubs. If any reader of Tiik Times would take the trouble to en-quire w by it is that republican litera-ture is not freely distributed in halt Lake he would learn that it is because we have no club organization, and this information whould be sulli-rien- t for any having the best intervals of the party at heart. A club is a ne-cessity unless we are to settle down to a state of mind iu which we shall abandon all hope of there ever being anything like republicanism in I'tah. If we are to permit all the political dis- - cipliue and proselyting to come from the democratic side of the house we cannot expect republican sentiment to be kept alive always. As to the meeting held in the court room after the adjournment of the club meeting, by those who are opposed to party division. Thk Timk.s believes that gentlemen who took part acted upon profouud conviction. There were men among the speakers whose sincer-ity cannot be questioned; but at the same time we are fres to state our be-lief that they do uot realize the gravity of the situation. They were governed more by old impulses thaa by dispas-sionate review of present conditions. To illustrate this feature of the proceed logs it is only necessary to call atteution to a contradictory feature of some of the utterances. 'The audience was fre tm.ntly told that the people's party had a majority of some 10,(KK) or 12,000 in the territory and that it would be held together to elect members of that party to all the olliees; and yet the declaration was as frequently made that "we will beat the democrats anl mormons com-bined." This is a kind of arithmetic j that we fail to follow with clearness. If the opponents of the movement for j party organization have no better groutid than that to stand on they might as well recognize the fact that they are charging against a stone wall. The sum of two quantities is always j trreater than either; and the rule ap- - ' plies in politics as well as in. the count- - ing room. SPIRIT OF THE PRESS. That Kaw. Suit. San t'raniixco Chronicle. Congressman Wilson of West Virginia exhibited to an interested and admiring demouratio audience on Thursday even-ing that same suit of clothes which did such notabla service in but which did uot succeed in Grover Cleveland, The suit is getting a little the worse for wear; the seams are a lit-tle hhiny, the trousers bag at the knees and are frayed out at the bottom, and the vest has a button or two missing, but it still does to play the part of a scarecrow, and, if we may judge from Mr. Wilson's speech, it will be sponged and cleaned and furbished up, aud made to do duty agaio iu 141)3. Mr. Wilson seems to have made a very eloquent speech, but, unfortunate-ly for the force of his argument, the ter-rible and unescapable logio of facts ia squarely against him. If Mr. Wilson had any purpose in parading the suit of clothes it was to show or prove that the protective tariff had increased the cost of clothes to the man who wears them, and particularly to the poor man. This, we say, must have been his purpose, since otherwise his aigiiiiieut would have been pointless. To test this question the Chronicle asserts thai dealers in ready made clothing in this city not only have uot advanced their prices for the cheaper grades of clothing since the KcKiniey bill went into elTect, but that they are actually helling such clothing cheaper now thau six mouths ago. Mr. Wilton probably cannot stay here to takt tip this question, but we challenge our democratic contemporaries to disprove it without flatly coutradicting their own advertising columns. Tho clothiug stores are either soiling more cheaply or they are using the columns of the newspapers to deceive the public. Mr. Wilson knows this s question thoroughly, but be does uot choose to tell what he knows. He is perfectly well aware that the American workingman can buy a suit of clothes of American make as cheap as they ran be bought auywhere in the world. He also knows that with the tariff ou clothes removed the American work-ingman would have to pay a higher price for an inferior suit of foreign manufacture. He can hardly have forgotten the scene in the house of representatives in Anril. 18KH. when McKiuley lloored Leopold Morse, the Rostou free trader, with the CIO suit bought at Morse's own store, and demonstrated that a similar suit would have cost $1 1 in lviil) under a low tariff dispensation. I, ike all free trado ora-tors, he refuses credit whero credit is due, aud seeks to divert the attention of the American workingmailx from his true condition by preaching agospcl o1. cheapuess which free tradevVer lid and never could carry into'Jyiu' He completely ignores the poteH Tactor of oomuetition among A men fan manu-facturers, and argues that cfithes can-not be cheap becauso foreiifo clothing is compelled to pay an in port duty. As we have already said, th i unanswer-able loific of facts is agains ; him, and that is the best response t i his falla-cious argument. . J ' Th.y are D.muerati Pint. l' Omaha U.a. ; f The evidence is cumulative that tna alliance people in the south do not in-tend to desert the democratic party. Whenever and wherever that party needs them they will be with it.

Wanted to S Wanauiak.r. Omaha lie. There was almost as much popular curiosity to see Postmaster (ieneral Wanamaker as there was to see the president. No man ever in the public service grew so rapidly in the popular confidence and respect as the present postmaster general. This is due to the practical demonstration of his superior business qualilications for the position. He found the postal service badly de-moralized, and within a year he had brought it to a higher standard of than ever before, and it unques-tionably is today, all things considered, tho best service in the world, Kill.d by Cigarttttt. Chicago Herald. Madame Blavatsky, the advanced theosophist, appears to have been cut off by the fatal habit of smoking cigar-ettes. According to her followers she was possessed of supernatural powers. Her soul could leave the body for a trip to the stars and planets and re-enter it at its pleasure. If theosophists aro correct she might have lived for-ever, hut in spite of these marvelous gifts cigarettes were too much for her and she died at the early age of sixty. Ciov.rumout Finances. St. Lulls Globe Democrat. Nobody, of course, can guess now how much money will be looked for from the government next fall to tide the country over the financial breakers. It is sale to predict, however, that the amount will be far less than iu P!iO. No European or South American compli-cations are probable at any rate. More-over, the amount of money iu active cir-culation is much greater than it was at the begiuuiug of the year. Political Jlesurr.ctlon. Denver Sun. Abram S.

And resurrections for some reason do not win in politics. Dialing In Irumaatlll.l. New York Herald.

Tiik president has commuted the sen-tence of the Navassa rioters to life im-prisonment. This action recalls one of the most tragic events with w hich our courts have had to deal. Navassa is a smalt island in the West Indies, owned by a guano company, and its sole in-habitants vere employes of tho com-pany. The men were brutally treated by the bossns and a conflict was finally precipitated in which a number were killed. The bosses were besieged by the infuriated men for several days until a ship appeared and took the men away. The rioters were brought to trial in the Baltimore court under the law conferring jurisdiction for crimes com-mitted on the high seas and three of them were condemned to death. The case furnishes a remarkable illustration of the tendency of human nature to run to tyrauny when tbu individual is placed in the position of an absolute master; aud the president, in mitigat-ing the puuishmeut of tho men, has bimply recogui.ed the iuhereut right of a human being to def.ud his rights when thero is no recourse to law. The Tribune this morning chargos that republican leaders have boon bar-gaining with the church. A few days ago it made the same charge in respect to the democratic movement. If it be-lieved the charges it makes, it no doubt would have a right to give expression to them, but if the truth were known it would be found that tho paper is actu-ated solely by a desire to stir up hate aud rally a following about its banner in this fight on that platform. There appears to be a class of professional mormon haters among the members of both parties and they have an idea that lTtah is to be ruled on that principle. These people do not want to have any change here and they insist that it shall not come. They will not them-selves change and do not propose that their old opponents shall ever change a hair's breath. This is ridiculous. Change is inevitable among a civilized people, and we do not have to go out-side of the Tribune office to meet with a signal illustration of the truth of the proposition. A PKcisiov was rendered in the United States court in St. Louis yester-day that is worthy of special attention. A company that had become a member of a trust went iuto business indepen-dently and the trust brought suit to compel it to discontinue. The case has beeu thrown out of court on a demur-rer and the company will coulinue ils independent business. The folds of the law and the decisions of the courts are gradually tiglftening about this great trust evil, and there is every reason to hope that the time Is not far distaut when it will be entirely throt-tled. Tiif. resolutions on the subject of sil-ver coinage prepared at the direction of the chamber of commerce for presen-tation to the Denver congress will no doubt sound tho key uote of the cause in that gathering. They cover the whole ground and show the impregna-ble character of the silver men's posi-tion. Consi l CoiUK, who has represented lhe;alian government ut New Orleans, is in Washington on his way home. 'The man who gave the signal to the murderers of Chief Hkmnkssky is with him. This suggests the query: Why did tho people of the Crescent city per-mit the falter to get away? |
