Clerk ADAMS, 1t is said, will omit all the

at the time of their election. Clerk ADAMS
is constantly startling the world with sen

the powers conferred upon the Clerk by
the House will not permit him 10 promote
such On arbitrary measure. and if they did
he could not be sustained, for the Constitu.
ton distinctly provides in regard to the
eligibility of Representatives only that
that they shall be twenty-five years old,

the United States, and shall when elected
be citizens of the State from which they
are chosen; and that no person holding any

developments made by the statement OF

picioned against the old Mormon prophet.
There is, therefore, but one course 70: the
United States officers In Utah to pursue.
They should at once secure the arrest Of
YOU'VE. Their delay In this matter has
already exposed them to the just charge Of
gross neglect Of duty.
The responsibility Of the massacre rests
upon the Mormon Apostle, and he should
be held to strict accountability for 1t.
This is case where justice should be re.

BRIGHAM YOUNG is a very old man that

his heart down with woe that he is to-day

But justice has been justly sern under
even more trying circumstances than these.
Justice has taken the emsciated form Of a
dying consumptive from the damp cell Of
its prison home, and for the crime of a
single murder has launched the soul into
the great sea of eternity. In BRIGHAM
YOUNG we find man whose whole life
has been one continuous chain Of guilty
and abhorrent deeds which make his crimes
stand mountain high before the law which
Is now ripe to pass judgment upon them.

IT is SAID that seven cities claim
HOMER dead, through which the living
HOMER begged his bread. But even thi,
is not as impressive as the fact that the
two great rival cities of the West, St.
Louis and Chicago, are vigorously quar-
reling over the nativity of PIKE, the muir
derer. Aud there is generosity displayed
in the matter, too, that Chicago, in a spirit
of msgnanimity almost heroic, says tn 1t
PIKE was born in St. LOUIS, and st. Louis
with pure unselfishness says that he first
saw the light of the morning in II Chicago
attic. Both cities are noted for their strict
regard for the truth. They cling to 1t as a
child does to hot poker.
