THE -loading democrats of Utah are 'highly ' indignant at the national demo cratic committee for giving George Q 'Cannon , the Mormon ox-dologato to congress - gross , representation on the national 1 .campaign committeo. A vigorous pretest - test is to bo made ogainst this appoint ment by the Gentile democrats , who claim this action will servo to defeat the anti-Mormon bills now pending , and encourage - courage legislation favorable to the Mor mons in case of democratic success. The probability ia 'that ' the committee will pay no attention to the protoat , as Gen tile democrats in Utah are as scarce ns lion's tooth. SINOI.KTOX , a prominent llli- noia democrat , is authority for the state ment that it has been decided by the democratic loaders to nominate Samuel J. ' ( Fildon for president with a full knowledge - lodge that ho will not accept. The nom ination is to bo tendered to him , In the language of General Singleton , in dofcr- once to the almost universal demand made by the people. "Tho arrangements imado to nominate him , " ho said , "will not only appease these who are anxious 'to see Mr. Tildonsoloclod by the conven tion , but it will settle pnco and for all the question of his acceptance. Ho will posi ; . i lively .decline tho.nomination , and then , the Tildon men will have the power to declare who shall bo the next nominee and the candidate. " Suppose , however , 'that ' after being thus nominated foxy old Sammy-should promptly wire his accept ance and-Umnhs fr < nnflramorey park , the convention would have to nwallow the dose ; but the people wouldn't.

JIo then drotv a huge knife and made o despomto resist ance against two life convicts who at tempted to subdue him. llando was not overcome until Keeper McDonald shot him in the head. Upon recovering con sciousness , Hancle said that ho had loft a trail of blood all the way to prison ; that ho had killed nine men , and that McDon ald would make his tenth. Ho expressed regret that ho had not killed McDonald instantly. Deputy Garvin says that the responsi bility of McDonald's death reals upon the jury which sent Hando to the peniten tiary instead of hanging him. Mr. Gar vin haa struck the koy-noto with rofor- cnco to the roaponsibility of jurica. Hando ought to have boon hung. Ho is ono of the most cold-blooded wholesale murderera that over existed. There ia everywhere a tendency among juries and courts to treat murderers with too much leniency. Such has been the caao in Ne braska , where several murderers who have boon sentenced to do.ith have had their sentences commuted to life- imprisonment by the governor upon the recommendation of the jury and the court that convicted thorn. Juries and courts and governors seem to forgot the responsibility that rcsta upon thorn. They forget their duty to the public , and are guided more by a falao sentimentality in favor of the cold-blooded murderer , in whoso behalf there is always aomo ono to work up a sympathy. They forgot that undeserved leiucncy towards a murderer crouton among the publio a fooling of diatruat and insecurity , and among murderers a feeling of confidence that they can pro ceed with their bloody wtrk without fear of paying the penalty of the law a life for a lifo. The result is that the people lose confidence in the efficiency nf the machinery of the courts , nnd tnko the law into their own hands. The jurio and the courts are in a great measure re sponsible for the numerous lynchings. When they begin hanging a few of the cold-blooded murdnrora the people will begin to have some faith in then and will cease lynching. If an exasperated pcoplo should once in a while string up aomo of the juiymon who allow mur derers to run at largo it would not bo an unmixed ovil. A DISCUlACVrUL AFPAIll. Omaha will soon have an unenviable reputation of being the headquarters of pugilists and sluggers. The pugilistic craze acorns to have taken deep and permanent root in this city , and the authorities instead of nipping the evil in the bud have allowed it to grow until it has become ono of the principal features of "lifo in Omaha. " It began only about two years ago with soft gloves and "Marquis of Quoonsbury rules , " and has finally ended in a genuine prize fight with bare fists , according to the rules of the London prize ring. The fight took place early Sunday morning just outside of the city limits , and waa witnessed by a crowd of perhaps two hun dred members of the sporting fraternity. It is said that the authorities of the city were aware of the fact that this fight waste to take place , yet they took no steps to prevent tbo parties engaging in it ; nor did they maUo any effort to break up the fight and arrest the participants. Although the fight occurred outaido of the jurisdiction of the city authorities , that is no excuse for them to have al- lowed the disgraceful aflair to proceed. They certainly would not hesitate to ar rest a thief or a murderer or any other criminal outaido of the city limits. The sheriff and the county authorities are the ones who really should have undertaken dortakon to have suppressed this prize fight and landed the whole gang in jail. If the city marshal , knowing of the impend ing mill , did not doom it proper for the police to interfere , ho should have called upon the sheriff , who could then have no oxcugo for failing to perform his duty , It strikes us that the time has como when our law ofilcors can no longer allow those violent and brutal encounters. The "slugging matches" and prize fights are , after all , only gotten up for money mak ing , and , like the bull fights in Spain and Mexico , are brutal exhibitions that tend to degrade the pcoplo. SOLYINQ TlfJS ClltNKSK J'KOlllEAf. The Chinese restriction aut is having a very beneficial efloct upon the interests of the white mechanics and laboring people of California. Since the act wont into effect the departures of the Chinese have greatly exceeded the arrivals , The ( roinaUung Chinamen took advantage of the scarcity of their cheap labor and have raised their wages by successive strikes. Following in the footsteps of the whites they have formed a protooUvo oasonia- tlon , and have since I to organization truck once a week , until they hnvo got their wages up to about the standard of tlio whites , In the manufacture of cigars alone there are about 3fiCO Chiuamen employed in San Francisco aud ( the manufacturers have determined upou * . lockout in hopes of forcing them ta agree on a fixed scale of priced , TVon- ty-oight manufaaturora , representing $5 , . 000,000 capital , liavo telegraphed for 2 , . 500 cigar makers from Now York and other eastern cittoi , and it is expected that a horde of ciiar makers will arrive in San Francisco within two weeks. Tlio manufacturers have become thoroughly disgusted with the Chinese and are do. termined to push matters to the extreme and end their troubles. This .movement will probably have a greater tendency to wards solving the Chinese problem than anv other thing that has ever happened , and it is duo almost entirely to the re striction act. This act , by causing a scaicity of Chinese cheap labor , has ena bled the Chinamen to demand the same prices as white men , and under the cir cumstances while men are preferred. 111011 IWKNSK ANJ ) 1ITMQJ ) MONEY.

You do not bolinvo prohibition pro- ibitsj neither do I , but it is the policy of 10 Bible from beginning to end , it de- ntida purity of lifo. The Bible hns igh standard for mankind , and it is an isiilt to God to suppose a compromise ith sin , namely , high license , would ave been a wiser plan. Shall wo charge Oed with folly , when esus commands "Bo yo thorcforo per- ect , oven as your Father which is in oavon is perfect. " Laws which nro BO reveling as to merely limit n man in sin , annot command the res poet of any man , id is without inspiration to our best * asses , while the lowest rejoice in wrong , lade right by n license feo. When a son or near friend folia into iesipation , and wo stand by unable to licek him , aa day by day ho sinks lower , oes high liconeo satisfy us , or does it coin the best that could bo done ? The demand for woman's Biifi'rago is b ascd very largely upon the errors of our I aw-makcrs in this ono question of liquor. rv ! ho sympathies of women are taxed to lie utmost by the fearful sull'ering and noral degradation of men , women and hildron traced directly to liquor. The \V. 0. T. U. have reported cases , iresentcd petitions signed by dozona.and .ono all thst could bo done by women in a jublic way , but all was referred to a ommittoe and there it ended. It is tlio oico of our voters which will oblige mblio oflicors to do their duty , and the Iforta of others are laughed at. Our tnndard is too low to command the ro pcct of ollluor or criminal. The Bible ias a higher ono than any mortal can each. Yet to tlio Bible can bo traced ill tlio moral and Christian character tin , world boasts of. If wo flourish under a license of such n earful sin , wo do it under tlio anathema 'Woo to him that buildeth a town with > lood , and establishoth a city by in- 1 qutty. " The advocates of high license say : Liquor will bo sold , so the country night as well have some profit from it. " ( Co olTsot the damages partly ) , to bo con sistent , why not license murdur and stealing , both will bo done while the world stands , but as liquor ia at the root of most all evil I suppose taxing the greatest offender is the policy. The secret is this , money is the God wor shipped in our country , by the masses The rnvonuo from liquor is enormous and Lho price of souls and bodies of poor un- Portunato human beings is used , among other things , to build our fine schools and educate our children. A curse must fol low such money , and our children soon learn of the benefit they reap fromcrimu \Vhat fruit such facts will boar in the lives of this generation no mortal can toll. Mus. B. WE have made it a rule never to dis cuss the bible in dealing with questions of publio policy. Conceding that the bible contains the purest cede of morals , THH.BEE also concedes to every person the right to interpret this cede according to the dictates of his own conscience and thu teachings of his crocd. Leas than thirty years ago negro slavery wa * uphold by Christian ministers from every pulpit south of the Ohio river as an institution sanctioned by the biblo. Out in Utah polygamy Is uphold to-day by Mormon bishops and apostles as an institution sanctioned by the bible and practised by the patriarchs , whom all true believers in the bible , have boon tought to revere - voro for their uprightness and purity. Martin Luther who is revered aa the father of the protcstant reformation is quoted as having said , that "ho who docs not love wine , women and song will re main a fool all his lifo long. " Wo know that the Bible commands us to bo temperate in all things and wo know that gluttony which moans over indul- goanco in eating and drinking is among the cardinal sins , but nowhere does the bible prohibit the moderate use o" sale of juice of the grape or any other intox icating beverage. Where then is the sin Or the crime of licensing and regulat ing the Bale of such beverages ? If it is sinful to allow mon to deal in wine , ap plejack and barley water , because beast ly people who cannot control their appetite - tito will bo made drunk , why is it not also sinful to allow mon to deal in hoof , pork and turkey when wo know that thcro are human hogs who cannot con- tro4thoir appetite in the matter of food ? It is true that liquor is the root of many evils , and money is the root not only of the liquor trullic , but the trailio in mon and women and the most prolific tempta tion for arson , burglary , highway robbery bory and murder. Why , then , license the trafllo in money ? Why are the bankers who supply the moans with which the dramiollor sots up in business any bettor than the keeper of the gin mill who patronizes their bank ) Why is the druggist who deals in deadly pcisom , which make infanticide , suicide and homicide so common in these degenerate times not outlawed and banished from the society of mon who abhor these crimes ? Of all the absurd notions which a large class of prohibitionists entertains , the most absurd is the belief that the money derived from high licouao U blood mon ey which will prove a curio to the next generation , because it ia expended for publio school houses and teachers in our publio schools , Now , wo would ask in all candor when was over the money of a liquor dealer refused as a donation to a church ? Would any Christian minister in Omaha refuse to touch a $103 check from Peter Her because as a distiller and rec tifier of alcohol ho pots Ills money from saloon keepers ? Would any church i" Omaha refuse a donation from Fred. Motz or Fred. Krug tocauiQ they earn their money in brewing ing beer ? There is hardly a brick in any of our churches that has not been | Bought with money which .was drawn : } j ! rora the sweating brow of honest labor ] by : the thumb screws of usury and extor tion or from renting houses or selling furniture wearing , opposed jewelry etc. k gamblers and questionable charac ters of both aoxca. And yet this is not blood : money ) In conclusion wo must again i point ths W. 0. T. U. to the law in which they do not seem to comprehend , It , ia within their power to close any disorderly saloon or dlvo if they will only pursue the method laid down by the present high license law. They must lilo their remonstrance with the county commissioners or city clerk , and those ofiicore will be compelled to give thnm a hearing. If the charges are sustained by proof , , no license can bo granted. There can bo no reference to a committee nnd no pigeon-holing of petitions if the peti tioners will only insist upon prompt con sideration. _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ WHAT does our city council prppoao to do about the inspection of steam boilora ? In Now York city this important service ia in the hands of the police department. The ollicial inspection is extended to about fi-100 builora. The hjdrostatic test is employed and its effectiveness ia o aimed to bo demonstrated by the fact that there 1ms been no explosion for three years past nnd only three einco the police had charge of the inspection. The work is attended to by a sergeant and special corps of olliccrs. Bailers insured by companies which assume the risk of ex plosion I are exempted from ollicial inspec tion. The curious statement is made that the moat dangerous boilora in tha city are these used for heating largo buildings by steam. Such boilers are not only managed by unlicensed engineers but \ are also exempted from inspection. They include the boilois in nearly all the school houses and in many largo private residences. M.uon SUTKR baa coino to the conclu- sion that there is no need of another bridge ' across the Missouri at Omaha.

W , Dorsoy was going about telling how Mr , Logan had injured him , and limy the DOIBOV blood was boiling to got a lick at tlio Illinois senator. At that time the New Mexican said that when ho sent ii his letter resigning the secretaryship " ! the republican national committee , n < member of the committee hud a goot word to say for the rotiriug secretary overjbody tearing that ho would be smirched himself by making acknowledge ment that a star router had done the party service. Thus much Mr. Dorsoy tuid ho could atand , but when Sonatoi Logan offered a resolution warmly thank ing Mr. Hocker , who was only Mr. Dorsoy's clerk through the Garfield campaign , the ranchman felt his back hair riso. But it was aomo weeks ago that Mr. Dorsoy made these com plaints. Things are changed now.

Oi did Senator Logan call Dorsey to Wash i iijtrn to'say to him : "When I am king then shall thou bo archbishop of Canter b jry and hold the crown jewels ?
