MORMON JUsT1cE.-The "saints" of
Salt Lake City do not receive Mr.. wadejs
suggestions for their benefit In very
amiable spirit. The Telegraph of that
city remarks:
Everybody who knows anything
about judicial matters In this territory,
knows that they are conducted with as
great average fairness and impartiality
In our local courts, as they are In any
courts In the country, aud that IL
quite as much as any body has a right
to expect. An honorable GENTLE here
has as much confidence In the Justice
of the decisions of our local probate
judge as In that of the decisions of any
federal judge ever found on a Utah
bench, and far more than In that of the
decisions of many of those federal
judges, for there have been in this ter
ritOry federal desecratOrs of the ermine
who would have been far more at
h0mein the penitentiary than on the
seat OF justice, and the only wonder
has been how they. could have been
permitted to miss their right place, and
get into one so exactly wrong, and to
which they were entirely untitled.

IN the summer Of 1898, GEM Gran

IN the summer Of 1883, GenT Grant
wrote from his camp on the Mississippi:
"Ihaye never been an anti.slavery
man; but I try TO judge justly OF. what
I5ee. I.made up my mind when this
war commenced that the North and
South could only live together in peace
as one nation, and they conld only be
one nation by being free nation. Sla-
very, the cornerstone of the so-called
confedsracy, is Knocked out, and 1t will
take more men to keep black men
slaves than to put down. the rebellion.
Much as L desire peace, 1 am opposed
to any peace until this question OF sla-
very IL forever settled.
That was aprivate letter to aIr. E. B.
washburn, and Senator Wilson brings
1t to light. That would have been call
ed radical doctrine then. Events have
justlhed ii. The principles which
bore such utterances at such a time, are
sound principles.

AQuestIon OF Pacis.

Some time since, writer In the
Northern Monthly complimented the
good society" OF Philadelphia on tho
frugality of its pleasure. He said:
"Chestnut street gives it dinners and
Walnut street gives It's 'Germans;' but
at the 'GermRnH' the champagne flows
spRrinRly, and ut the dinners trnffIes
and the like expensive delIcacIes are
unknown. There Is many an elegant
house, In the most artstocratic parts of
the town, in which meat never Is seen
on the table beyond once day. Alter
the opera the fashionable PhIladeIphlan
wastes no money on costly oysters or
extEayRgant Ices. He goes to his
home, returns thanks for being under
his own roof, and goes to bed. p
The Philadelphia Evening Bulletin
disclaims the compliment thus:
"Considering the fact that nowhere
on this continent e bOu1tifuI aud lux
urious eating aud drinking better un-
derstoOd than In Philadelphia, It Is easy
to indulge in good laugh over this
absurdity."
The discussion is not of yital impor-
tance, but It Is certainly amusing.

says: 81
The result of the election for 1867 has
