Show . 3 THE SALT LAKE TIMES. MONDAY. AUGUST 10. 18'J1: overcome in so short ft time. It was unreasonable to hope that it could. It carried the election everywhere for the democrat but the strong showing made by the republican (fives good ground for the coniident belief that the terri-tory will eventually be republican. KKSI Ir OF THK BLKCTIO. The Trihuna is still charging about like a wild bull in a china shop trying to make pejple believe that the result of the recent election throughout the ter-ritory proves that there was church dictation. It rested its case mainly on the Logau vote, but it has so far tieen unabb to show that tho returns there show that any illigelimaty influence was used. Tho fact that the city went republican at the school election and democratic at tho election last Mon-day was cited as conclusive evidence that tho church bail douu the business. The Triliunr. entirely overlooks the fact that there were fifty-thre- more republican votes cast in the second than in the first election; it ignores the plain logic of the matter and all tho antecedent conditions, and bases its ariruiuent upon assumptions that are in direct conflict with the facts and .tho logic of the case. Tiik J'm.ks believes that tho contest iu Logan was as square a fight as could be a;,ked fir. If the church bad been manipulating the matter it would certainly have ao arranged the contest that the town would have gona republ-ican- It was the popular belief, ac-cording to tho Tribune, that such would bo the result, Rtid a republican majority would therefore havo been more iu harmony with the alleged pur-pose of the alleged conspirators. Noth-ing was to be trained by making the anti-li'jeia- l delegation in tho legislature solidly democratic. The ilillieully was Moses Tiuti'iikk's deinoc racy. He is one of the utiterri fied. He is pronounced and unrelent-ing. He did uot want his city to be-- j conio republican, and ho threw himself into the breach at the last moment to prevent it. Why, oless your soul, if this thing were under church control, he would simply have said to himself: It is better to let it go this time; we will give the people their orders later ou." l!ut he kne.vr that the people were aligning themselves independently and thut he could never do as much for democracy as at that time. He kuew if hi kept out of the tight some wuuld become permanently identified with the republican party, who through his inliuenco might at least be held back for a time. This is tho plain interpretation of the matter, the Trihinic't assumptions to the contrary notwithstanding. The Times believes that this view of the result commends itself to the best judgment of thinking people. The point at isnue is whether or not the mormon people) are dividing independently, and when ail the facts are considered the irresist-ible conclusion is that they are. The overwhelming sentiment in favor of democracy I hat prevailed when the division campa'gn be'an could aoi be J THESALT LAKE JIM ES. BY THK TIMIC3 PITHUFHIN'l COMPANY.

When (iAKKiEi.u was in the White House there were four presidential appoint-ments to West Point to be made. At a cabinet meeting the selections were de-termined upon. A few days later Gen-eral Ua uni m visited the White House and asked to have his son appointed. Ha w as told that it was too lato, but when he had narrated his story, the prci-iden- t changed the list and put the young man's name at the head of it. Such a young man ought to make a 'coord, if the inspiration of patriotic memories be of any valuo in a human career, lint that which is so impres-sively applied to his case belongs, in a great measure, to all the young men of the nation. The heritage of patriotism tout is ititc to tliem by tho detention of tho Union should bo an inspiration all through their lives.

THK UK.UOCRATIO I'AItTY. The Ttiiladelphia I'irs.t, iu discussing republican prospects in the south, says: "Tho republican of Florida have ac-cepted the inevitable, and have conclu-ded to make no nominations. The re-publicans iu Mississippi and in some other states will follow the same course. Iu the faco of tho legislation in tliose states an etlort to carry any of them for tho republicans would lie entirely useless. lu South ('aroiiua the in-famous eight ballot-bo- law. in addition to the control of all tho electiou ollieers, enabled the democrats to have every-thing their own way. To make assur-ance doubly sure, Florida passed simi-lar laws, lint before that was done I'ensacola, Jacksonville, and other cities were robbed of The governor was given power to name commissions to govern these cities, and also to appoint election ollieers. Under such circumstances it would be useless for republicans to expect to have their otes counted." This presents a feature of democracy that people in Utah will do well to study. Tho democrats tell the people here that theirs is the iiartv of the oeo- - pie; but intelligent voters will remem-ber that the democratic party is con-trolled by the south and that in the south it is a sort of oligarchy, the load-ers of which stop ut nothing necessary to retain them iu power. While the democrats denounce the federal elec-tions bill, tU'y neglect to tell their readers that in many parts of the south elections are a farce and that the fareo is publicly approved by the democratic party. In Florida the iullux of northern peo-ple has strengthened tho republican cause and given the party a lighting chance, but a democratic legi.ihiture steps in and puts tho priucipal cities of the state under the direct control of the democratic executive, the governor be-ing empowered to govern them through commissions. This subversion of setf government is practiced iu many of the southern states, justices of tho peace and other ollicrs being appointed by the governor. I his is intended to pro-ve-the republicans from obtaining a foot-hol- anywhere. At the same time the election lays are so juggled, and the election districts so constructed that the democrats feel safe in every election against the republicans under all possible combinalious of circum-stances. If we are to learn what democracy really is we must look for the definition in the south; and whoa we find whole cities being denied the right of local elf government we may weil ask w here the claim springs from that the demo-cratic party is the party of the people. It ia all a mistake. The democratic party as instituted and controlled to-day is not a party of human rights. It GEORGE M.

Throughout its protests against party division, tlio Trilninc admits, directly on some occasions and indirectly on others, that the time niiiHt soon come when it will bonfe. In January, 188, it thought that the time would come iu three years from that date. Jt does nut think that it has come yet; and if vvu are to accept its lino of reasoning wo niiiHt conclude that it will not come for smiie generations, The Tnhniii- holds that division will lead to iiniiindiate statehood. It further holds that the mormon people today are just as they were at Nauvoo and 'but they will continue so. It is charged, and correctly so as wo understand it, that at Nimvoo the mormons wore a free lanno, an 'ineertain but united quantity deciding elections to suit themselves. 'J he 'I'rihiinn insists that they Mill adhere and always will ad hum to that pi.-.- On this theory parly division never would be a success. Let t oy man sit down and figure out the probable increase of the gentiles and mormons during tho next twenty-fiv-years. Taking the figures obtained and dividing tho gentiles about evenly be-tween two parties tho investigator will find that the mormon voters acting as a unit would ho able to bury either party at will. No man, accepting tho Tritiinit '.t theory, can claim that party division would be successful during the lifetime of any presant voter. Such a condition would btt disastrous to l'tah arid disistrous to all classes of its people, lint the 'J'rihum-'- admission that siiiiio kintl of a change will come, must bo founded upon tho idea that this Kolidity of the mo. ion vote will sometime be broken by the mormons themselves in recognition of the plain truth that it is better for them thnt it should btt to. If there is ever to be a break, why should it cot be now? Will there ever bo a time when the logic of the political situation will be plainer to the mormons themselves than it is now? They have been through a long contest. They have been defeated on tho points for which they contonded. The leatlcrs who cams acrcss the plains to found the peculiar colony in this valley are gradually passing away, The genera-tion that is taking bold of affairs is ono that has grown up in daiiy touch with the life of tho whole couutry. No fu-ture generation could be more desirous than this of establishing harmonious, peaceful relations between their church and the rest of the world. These young mon whom we moot in every line of business are as fully alive to the ex-igencies of the matter as any of their descendants could be. Is it not reasonable to suppose that the desire for division, the desire to eliminate church antagonisms from our political and business problem is sin-cor- Does not every particlo of evi-dence and every promptiug of reason point to that conclusion Again, is it not true that reform to be successful, must bo welcomed and encouraged by the other side? Is it not true that whenever tho mormons shall sincerely proceed to divide, ac-cepting in good faith every requirement legitimately demanded of them, it will be the duty of the other side to in the movement? Thoso are questions that every man can put to himsulf. Every man can ask and answer the question for himself as to what the measure of his mistake will be if he shall be found at any time re-sisting movement leading to tho es-tablishment among the people of sound principles and safo political conditions; and each can analyze all present cir-cumstances and ask himself whether h is uot now committing that kind of a blunder iu lighting against this division movement. The question lor every man is: "Is it not now time for me to move forward?" where It is not in authority, and taking the people by the throat and defying them where it is iu uudisputed ascendency. What would be tho light of the repub-lican party, if, securing control of the state of New York it should stternpt to place New York City under a commis-sion named by the governor? See what a democratic legislature did in Michi-gan, overturning tho old plan of elect-ing presidential electors for the sake of securing some votes there for the dem-ocratic candidate for the presidency ! The democratic party is tho party of injustice and wrong. Its character is so tixed that there is no hope for its reformation. It will promise anything to gain power, but it is not to be trust-ed for it is embuod with a spirit that makes it danirerous in power. Let l'tah poople study its past history and ts present course, and determine to keep clear of entanglements with it. CLOSING OF MAILS, At Suit lull.' I itr I'. i Ant-ai-t :J V. !'- - .1 Ms!!

M MONDAY, AL'tiUST 10, 1 Hit 1 . A Fi(i;ninr car famine is threatened owing to the heavy wheat crop. All available cars are being pressed into the service but the demand cannot be met. A similar famine occurrod last fall without any extra heavy crop and it was understood that the com-panies would prepare themselves against such a contingency in the fu-ture. It is a good thing, to have great crops, but the people of the mountain will object if their business is to be ne-glected as it was a year ago while the demands of the (Jains farmers are being; supplied. SPIRIT Or THE PRESS. ClaTalami anil Carapbdl. Denver News. There is not a sensible democrat in the country, no matter what his finan-cial views may bo, who will not ap-prove the Timr' lo'.o. Mr. Cleveland might have gone to Ohio with the ut-most propriety, and he teed not have stultiiied his position upon silver in the slightest. The country knows his views upon that question. He could with consistency navs claimed that since the Ohio democracy seemed divided upon silver he misfit be permitted to hold to his own views without discussing them! The tarilT would have been a big antl important enough subject for him to talk about, and, doing so, he would have givon Mr. Campbell a great amount of assistance. But he has de-termined to pursue an entirely differe.-.- t course; to leave Mr. Campbell alone to light his own battle so far as, he is con-cerned. No democrat can approve this selfish line of action. Whatever tho result in Ohio may be Mr. Cleve-land must be the loser. If Campbell wins, he can receive none of the credit; if he should lose, Mr. Cleveland will be held in part responsible for the defeat. Th Bomm CbobuI Ckc II,, St. Louis Globe Democrat, t The matter of the nomination, next year, therefore, cannot be considered definitely settled for a few months yet. The coining November will tell the story as to Mclvinley's availability, and by that time perhaps the country will bo ollicialiy informed as to Blaine's condition and intentions. If both these men are oil' the track the race ia ex-tremely likely to be a walk-ove- r for President Harrison. Age and other considerations have reudered Sherman unavailable, Edmunds and Keed are impofcsibilities, and nobody except a few politicians and political "strikers" watiUAIger. In such an event Harri-son is tho only man who could be ser-iously mentioned in couuection with the nomination. The president's chances, tiiat is to say, are altogether dependunt upon Blaine and Melvinley, in the manner here pointed out, and no movement by republican bosses either against Harrison or for him, can change the situation in this respect in any de-gree whatsoever.

There has been some unavoidable delay in sotting the Chino factory to work, but that will soon bo remedied, and we shall see what the California sugar beet w ill do under proper treatment. It is asserted that our soil is particularly favorable to the sugar beet and that our long season will permit the beet to remain in the ground until fully matured, thus insuring the full development of tho saccharine qualities. If this be true, sugar beet culture must prove a suc-cess. To supplant Cuban sugar by do-mestic sugar is certainly well worth trying for, The (Julian import of 1U,J() was valued at ahum $40,000,00!), and this was not all the sugar that came in-to the United States. To be ablo to sell $10,000,000 worth of a homo product each year is enough to warrant a good ileal of patient exoerimout ami a large outlay of money. Fraudulent Nonaenae. Minneapolis Times. One of the silliest arguments used by the monomctallists against the free coinage of silver is that it is dishonest because "a silver dollar is only worth 8!) cents." Admit it. Admit that the silver in a silver dollar, stripped of its legal tender quality and reduced to the condition of a mere commodity, is worth FO cents. What would a gold dollar bo worth if it was reduced to the same lovely What would the gold in a gold dollar be worth in the market stripped of its legal tender quality ns silver was in 1N73? The fact is that if gold were demonetized the bullion in a gold dollar would not bo worth more than iSO cents. It is worth less than that as a commodity for use in the arts, ft is not necessary to be an ardent free silver man in order to see that the cry of "dishonesty" raised against free eilver coinage is fraudulent uonsense. Negative Nothlo rai, Colorado Sun. No negative man ever becomes great. No negative party ever becomes power-ful.

It is provoking that elosn frieuds of Mr. Hi.aink who write letters concern-ing his health should attach the obliga-tion of secrecy to their communications. Many such letters have been received in diirerent parts of tho country giving assurance that the great secretary is all right, but the injunction is always laid upon the receiver not to permit tho let-ter to get into print. Wo havo one such bofore us at this moment which gives the most positive awirance re-garding Mr. Iii.AiNi.'s condition. The letter has been sunt to Tnu Times by a gentleuiau in Ogden who requests that u!l name be suppressed. He wrote to an old schoolmate making inquiry re-garding Mr. Blaine and this letter is the reply. The letter was written on the 27th of July. It &tatcs that the writer had been with Mr. ISi.aise three days before and that he had not looked better in ten years. It is admitted that he had a severe turn while iu Now York, but asserts that recovery has been apparently complete aud that the socretary will soon be back at work as strong as svor. This letter was written by a man of national reputation, i one who stands closer, perhaps, to Mr. Blaine, than any other. His home is near Bar Har-bor and ho sees the secretary very fre-quently. The TiMKS would bo glad to be able to publish tho letter verbatim, but we must respect tho instructions laid down by our correspondent. Suf-tic- e it to say that the writer of the letter is irreproachable authority and that the assurance is so sweeping that no one noed feel any further alarm about the health of the secretary of state.
