Ii ihlB the Action of a Bribe Takcrt It hts pleased the organs and hire lings of the Dell telephone fraud to ' charge that the Atlorney General of tha United States, Mr. Garland, had used his high office for the purpose of replenishing his private fortunes. The fact that Mr. Garland absolutely re. fused to take any action against the Bell company, made no di Here nee to them; they were determined to find fault. Whea Mr. Goode, who stands next to Garland, decided that the Boll company was not entitled to a patent, they grumbled more thou ever, though Goode held no telephone stock, nor vet did Lamar, the Secretary of the Interior, notwithstanding which a fur ious etoroi of abuse and invective was tbowered upon liim by the Republican papers. The organs, we are speaking of now are those conducted by men of 'intelligence, sedulously conceal cer tain -facts. Secretary Lamar submit ted the testimony taken Wfore htm to ahree Interior otliuials, and asked for -their written opinion; he got them, and they were all averse to the Bell com .pany; none of theso officials held tele phone stock: Theso men were, Zachary Montgomery, of California, llio Law Oflieer of the Interior Department, M. V. Montgomery of Michigan, Com i missioner of Tutents, Air, Jenks of Pennsylvania, First AHsmtant Secretary of the Interior, all ablo lawyers, and rthercfore competent to judge. Hero we have the enso in a nutshell, rMr. Garland is to bo-damned, forsooth because he hid teh phone stock of an opposition company, and Mr. Lamnr is to be especially laiuned lie:ause lie owns no stock. J o veneering nor sp'ic 4 pleading can conceal the animus of the attack on Garland and Lamar. The suit which lias been instituted at Go. 'lumbus, Ohio, will be conducted I i Solicitor General Good, and Attorney General Garland will have nothing to do with i Tli company which Berts that on this very question it has decisions in its' favor from three Su preme Judges and innumerable other Judges, interposes a technicality as its first move in the game. Why it is thus Mr. Edison's opinion which wh pub lished a few weeks ago will show, that 'the company's patent is based on fraud When a monopoly is attacked it is very allecting to note the united action of the Republican press, and how they hound the olhcers who are doing their duty. To thorn it is fearful wicked. ness to attack a 50,OUO,()00 fraud. The following dispatch from Wash ingion, is sen explanatory, and we urgently ask that tho monopoly organs shall indicate if the action of Mr. Garland can bemado to appear in the wrong: "In the telephone investigation to day Uasey loung testified that Mr. von Benthuysen wroto :o him and saic that ho was going to haye government suit brought, if he could, under the law, whether Garland belonged to the company or not. Subsqeuently, wit ness took von Benthuysen and his counsel ovr to introduce them to the Attorney-General. One of the counsel at at id what they came - fur and Mr. Garland said he was interested in the telephone company, and could not talk to them about it. Counsel insisted and Mr. Garland, said: "Gentlemen I cannot talk to vou on that subject. I am attorney general of the United States, and cannot talk to you." Mr. von Benthuysen said, "I have a riujit i . I . I a . . a a to nave sun nrougnt; it tlm law re. quires you to bring suit I will mho that it is Is-ought." Garland said, "I cannot talk to you," and the he gentlemen retired. The interview lasted about five minutes, and took J lace some Umo Itet ween the 30th of u'y and the 3d of August, Von Ben thuysen said he would go to the Tri dent. He did write to the president. He said he waa not going to have his rights imperilled by Garland or any body else." Twenty-two States in tlie Union of Thirty-Eight have Denincrotio Gov ernors. The home rule of more than three fifths of the American people is Democratic. Tim Democrats hold the House of Representatives by a majority of forty-three. Thy lack enly six fit a majority in the United States Sen Ate, At the last election of a Presi dent tho Democracy carried twenty States out of thirty-eight by a plurality of 23,003 in a papular vote of mote tian 10,000,000. , ?riifl Territory of Utah is in dU to the -United Sutrt Urn aum of 285, 776 22, and ham owed that sum for eleven yeitra. Democratic Controller Durham will retain the money appro priated to the Legislature utrtfl the debt ia uatiHtied. It ia due to thin lax execution of the law and Republican tolerance and sympathy with the M or molus that in the laat two decades the Mormons have trebled in number and wealth. !Ihat party has resolved and resolved that polygamy is a foul blot on the nation that allows it, but after catching the votes of the credu bus by promising to suppress the evil they quietly ll themselves to the Mormon hierarchy, and batten on the spoils. A great moral party that, any way. Henry Ward Beecner when asked re cently what he thought of Pres- ; idcnt UlevHand. said: "Iliavpinno- wise altered my opinion of President Cleveland, and his policy still has as much (.ttraction for me as it had when he foreshadowed it jn letters and other documents prior to the inauguration. The President is right in the stand lie has taken with the Senate, and I am quite sure." AIout the Pan Electric affair, Mr. Beecher expressed himself as follows. "The whole matter is not worth two penny pieces. I haven't even thought it worth while to follow it up in the papers. There is so much of importance now in the newspapers, that I don't bother myself with matters of that kind." Tho attempt of the Republican majority of the Senate to manufacture political capital against tho President out of a false and artificial issue has been exploded by Mr. Grover Cleve land. This person is president of the United States. When he sends in a message to the Senate, the country notes the fact and reads what he has to say. When Mr. Ed nunds or Mr. Pugh handed in a majority or minor ity report, hair-splitting nothing down fine, th public skip it. Mr. Cleve land is entitled to the ear of the pub lie, and he has it. Tho Democratic County Convention has been called for Thundav, April 22il, and the primaries for Monday, April bin. it is the duty ot every Democrat to attend the primaries end select representative men to attend the county convention, then there can lie ue reasonable cause for complaint against any of the nominees selected by the convention The Democrats of Lans county are harmonious, and witli uood men on the ticket can elect thei candidates. &very iv'puimuaii congressman, in eluding the member from this State will vote against ifree hips, and they will oppose any reduction of the tarill' Col. Morrison, remembering the fact that the ' senate ia Republican, has made a smnll leductinti in his bill. It is very doubtful if the Senate will pass any kind of a bill. The only hope lies til three or four Republican senators voting with the Democrats. mi .... . m iraue exiiteu long netore govern ment. Individuals look after that. Government can impede truuVor dtvert it, but cannot promote it better than by leaving it alone. The -merchants of tho country know better when and where to tradethan the politicians of congress can tell. All the latter have to da with respect to trade is ta take their hands nil' it. Three years ago when Senator Slater moved to red uce the tariff on grain bags it was opposed by every Republi can senator, the increased cost of the sacks made by this Republican tariff is from two to three cents per lmM. Very patient and enduring is the far mer, for he must be, to as Inn it to such outrageous robbery. Chairman Jomm of the Republican ationaI Committee, was the first man to import contract labor into the U. S. He sells the goods he wnuufnc tures at a big advance and with his robber tarilff teals from the "unpro tected on the plea that he wants to "elevate and dignify American lalwr." Hon. Geo. Hearst, proprietoi of the S. F. Francisco Examiner, the leading democratic, paper of the coast, has been appointed U. S. Senator from California lyGov. Stoneman. No better appointment could have been made, for Senator Hearst will vote with the people every time. Tin $10,00 steal in the U. & treas ury at Nin fraiieiaco was made bv either a Repub'ican or a Democrat, and the latest evidence favors the" Republi can. In ny ease the rascal should go, and we inxixt that he shall co. what ever his political complexion. It is one of the deputies of the presi ent tariff that for every dolh r collected ny the Government, ten dollars are collected by private parties. A re duction of 112,000,000 in tariff dues means a reduction of $132,000,000 to the consumer What explanation have the Repvb'i cn papers to make cf the fact that under the prem-nt tariff that in proper tion more of the agricultural products have to he a-nt viroad than ever le fore.

He is nearly 90 yeara of age, and despite his iron constitution is evidently fast approaching the grave. Wlule he would lie deeply lamented, for as a man he is universally esteemed, yet we are persuaded that there would be no chance in the Government 'cf the German Empire. There is but drie man capable of governing it as an Empire, and he is Prince fcisrnarek. Without a strong hand at The holm there would soon be another Republic in Lurope. Look at Utah! There'i a moral question foi youl Obsetve the man. ner in which the Republican party has enforced the laws against the curse of polygamy! "Certainly, the Re publican party is opposed to potyg amy in theory. A bond call for $10,000,000 has been made by Secretary Manning payable on the 1st of May.
