The so-called Democratic organizations which have of late years attempted to make spasmodic efforts for recognition, had no solid ground on which to make their feeble fight. They were not representative of the people, nor were they expressive of genuine Democratic principles. They were too much mixed up with local quarrels, and too closely identified with radical Republicanism, to be anything more than mere temporary expedients, with motives so transparent to the natural eye that everybody but the mentally blind could easily see through their purpose. This movement bears the marks of a genuine organization on a solid basis. And the resolutions which set forth its platform are so clear in their language and positive in their sentiments, that no doubt is left as to their sincerity and their simple but forcible De mocracy. THE RUSSIAN JEWS. It is probable that the suspension of the programme of expulsion is not caused by any feeling of sympathy in the breast of the Czar for his victims. More likely it is because the action of some of the Jewish financial giants since the inauguration of the crusade has threatened the monetary interests MR. BAYARD ON THE ITALIAN IN the Forum for May, Ex-Secretary Thomas F. Bayard gives expression to his views upon the issue now pending between the United States and Italy. The following from his article has no sound of uncertainty about it, so far as relates to the classes of foreigners who should be excluded from the shores of the Republic: IT IS a relief to learn that a suspension of the expulsion of the Jews from the leading Russian cities has been ordered. The story of the sufferings of the unhappy people is sufficiently pathetic to move the hardest natures to pity, except it be those of Russian of the Russian empire. tyrants.

American citizenship is a grand heritage and a mighty boon. Its rights and privileges should be secured to all who honor the law, and its duties and ties, that fact is not sufficiently strong possessed and enjoyed by our citizens, and be acknowledged and recognized as the basis of our government, because of the presence, within our borders, of alien subjects and citizens of foreign powers whose personal wrongs may not be remedied to their satisfaction or to that of their government without the impairment and disorder of our system, then the time has arrived when the unquestionable and sovereign right of the United States to determine by positive law who shall be permitted to enter our gates and who shall be excluded must be exercised. Let us ascertain our full and honorable measure of international duty, and perform it faithfully in dignified spirit of selfrespect, not yielding to compulsion, but walking steadily in the path of selfimposed obligation." IN ANOTHER column will be found a sturdy and well-written letter upon the visit of President Harrison to Utah and the results that ought to flow from it.

WE are in receipt of a correspondence from Brother E. M. Curtis, who is located at Colonia Diaz, Mexico. He states that a postoffice has been opened there. We are requested to state that mail matter for the colonists should no longer be directed to go via La Ascencion, as heretofore. It will go quicker, and with greater safety, if directed as follows: "Colonia Diaz (via Deming, N. M.), Canton Galiana, Chihuahua, Mexico." The correspondent further says: "It requires only a two cent stamp for a letter to come into Mexico, but many of our friends put on a five cent stamp. I presume this is often done, as they find a five cent stamp on letters going out from Mexico. This may appear strange, but it is in accordance with the postal laws of Old Mexico." There was some sickness in the colony last winter, but since then the general health of the people has improved. The settlers are struggling against natural obstacles incidental to the building up of a new country. One impediment is the present scarcity of water, which prevents the raising of enough wheat for the needs of the people. A WELL PRESERVED VETERAN. THE NEW POLITICAL MOVEMENT. to debate. National politics have fig. ured to so small an extent compared with local differences that many intelligent men, old as well as young, are not fully persuaded in their own minds ai to the national party which has the strongest claims to their support. THE movement in this city to organize on national party lines, is the talk of the town. The opinion that the time has come for it seems to be almost universal, among those citizens who take active interest in political affairs.

There seems to be a difference of the Republicans to announce where We repeat what we have said be- The visit, however, might have beet made more memorable if some attractive features of the demonstration had not been excluded. After the children had saluted the President, those of them who belonged to the Sunday schools were gathered in the Tabernacle, where also the choir which has become justly celebrated throughout the land, had prepared to render patriotic music. But the President was not allowed by the Governor and the committee in charge of the day's proceedings to pay a visit, however brief, to the building which is one of the chief attractions of the city. President Harrison previous to his arrival expressed his desire to go to the Tabernacle, but of course felt that he was in the hands of the committee. The choir and the children waited is the building expecting his arrival until half-past 11 o'clock.

Yet Many non-"Mormon" residents of the city expressed in scathing terms their disgust at the manner in which the President was kept out of the building. They also used no mincing terms in denunciation of the bad taste and petty discourtesy which placed the pioneers of 1847 almost at the rear of the procession, as if it were desirable to make them as obscure as possible.

STANLEY is making large profits out of his experience on the "Dark Continent." His lecturing tour in the United States began on November 11th and ended April 4th, His share in the result amounted to twenty-two thousand pounds, or a hundred and ten thousand dollars, which he carried with him when he left New York for Englaud.

They are admitted by Mrs. D. to "have arisen in different ways to a pitch of wisdom and goodness beyond that attained by the common mass of mankind." If that is true, why should it be deemed impossible that God revealed to each of them truths for the benefit of humanity, suited to the condition of the people to whom they were sent at the time of their life and ministry? It is the same light that scintillates from the stars and gleams from the moon as blazes from the sun in all its splendor. Yet it is manifested in different degrees and at different hours. But it is suitable and beneficial in each and every revelation. It is reasonable to think that the Supreme Being, who has ordered the universe and created intelligent beings, would manifest Himself according to the capacity of his creatures, and through those adapted to His purpose would reveal His will and give commands and counsels to others. Thus it seems not only possible but probable that God has given many special revelations, besides those that come to us through the ordinary course of nature. And this appears more rational than that He who is the source of all intelligence, should remain silent and dumb through all the centuries and give no definite rules for human guidance. But this implies no intimation that people who believe in that authority should "abandon their own reason to the absolute guidance of those who claim such authority." The religion of the Latter-day Saints includes present Divine revelation and authority. But it inculcates individual thought and proclaims individual responsibility. It requires no man to abandon his reason nor yield absolute submission to any human being. It is true that each sect claims to be right and that anyone without a standard or test would be as sadly puzzled as the San Salvador chief. But that God who reveals truth through His chosen servants, is accessible to all and will manifest to those who seek, in faith and sincerity, for His guidance the light they need to guide them. But faith is an essential to the reception of the light. If a person believes it to be impossible for God to reveal Himself to mortals, it would only be hypocrisy and vanity for him to ask for revelation. There are thousands taday who are ready to testify that they have asked and received, that they have sought and found, that they have knocked and the door has been opened to them. The possibility that a "superhuman" revelation might be used "to delude people into abandoning their own reason to the absolute guidance of those who claim such authority," is a very slim reason for rejecting all claims to divine revelation and authority. What If God ever revealed Himself to good is there that cannot be so per-man He can and may do so now. That verted that evil will follow?

And without it there must always be doubt and uncertainty in the religious world. All truth is from Him, no matter through what channel it may reach us. But when He communicates to mankind anything by way of law or commandment, He will do so through those who are suitable to receive and communicate it. It will come with authority. And all who earnestly desire to under stand it, may do so by means of that Spirit which comes from Him, as the light streams from the sun and which is free to all His creatures in every land and clime. A STORY OF CRUELTY. THE Nineteenth Century for April contains a most extraordinary article. written by Nele Loring. The story is simply a narrative of how be conducted a herd of 200 steers from the Rocky mountains to Liverpool: "The railroad journey was sufficiently trying, but the beginning of the keener sufferings of the poor creatures was when they were locked in the cars thirty-six hours without food or water before embarking. There were 700 cattle put together so tightly that if one fell the others trampled on him, and to make these failen animals get on their feet agen they were pounded over the noses till they bled, water was poured in their ears, and their tails were twisted until they hung limp and paralyzed, and others of the steers had broken backs. Those whose backs interests of the underwriter, were left to were broken were not killed, but, in the die a frightful death. "Forty animals died from suffocation.
