"A CRAVE CHARGE.

1t is charged by the Gentle residents
of Utah that the Federal officials of
that Territory are playing into the
hands of the Mormons. SGovernor
Emery is accused of beingfn'sympathy
with Brigham Young, and it is
suspected that, like the drunken man
who was supporting himself against a
church, If he has not actually embraced
Mormonism, he certainly leans toward
that Church. Sumner Howard, United
States District Attorney Of Utah, is
also thought to be in league withthe
Normons. At the time Of the execu-
ton of John ID. Lee. the Mountain
Meadows monster, Howard publicly
denied the genuineness of Lees con-
fession, as given to the public. and
stated that he wasin possession of evil
,dence given him by Lee that implicated
several Of the prominent members of
the Mormon Church in the massacre.
Though considerable time has elapsed
since the execution of Lee no attempt
has been made by the United States
Attorney forU tab to arrest the persons
alleged to be implicated Or bring them
to Justice. This has aroused the
suspicion that Attorney Howard has
been silenced by the Mormons. The
'Corinue Record charges, that Howard
was either bought off by Mormon gold,
and in consequencegave the implicated
persons every opportunity to escape,
or made an inexcusabie blunder. and
the Phoebe Record says the public
need not expect any more arrests of
Mountain Meadows butchers, unless
the Federal officials in Utah are deposed
and reliable men put in their places.
These are grave charges, which should
not be overlooked by the Government.
1t devolVes upon the powers that be
at Washington to at least demand an
expla nation from United States At
torney Howard. and if he is guilty as
charged remove him at once. 47TM

UHE BULLION TAX SETTLED FOR
EVER. F{

The Supreme Ccurt of the United
States has settled the bullion tax cues
ton for all time. 1t is simply waste
of money for the Bonanza Kings or
anybody else to appeal to the Courts
henceforth. The highest Judicial
tribunal in the country in the case of
Forbes Us. Gracia. on appeal from the
Circuit Court of Nevada, has sustained
the decision of The Circuit Court, that
tax levied on bullion extracted is not
tax on a mine, and that ores after
they are extracted are the property of
the miner, and the United States has
no interest in them, and this being the
case they they are properly subject to
taxation. About the time this decision
was filed at Washington, the attorneys
of the Bonanza Companies in Storey
county magnanimously acknowledged
judgment for the whole amount of
their delinquent bullion tax, less the
penalty for delinquency. This propo-
sition was accepted BY the, attorneys
for the people. bnt if it is ascertained
that the mining companies were aware
of the decision against them at the time
they confessed judgment. their apparent
generosity was funadulterated selfish.

She was a member of the Presbyterian
Church in GAINESVILLE since about 1850.
tits seldom that have been called upon
to perform the funeral and burial services
of one SO worthy of the name of christian
as was this most excellent mother in Isra-

that she was a disciple of the
meek and lowly Jesus. Subjected to every
vicissitude of fortune and greats physical
suffering, her confidence In the promises
of God remained mistaken, and her chris
tian character only shone the brighter In
the dark hours of adversely and affiictiop.
With unusual delight, having successfully
completed her work on earth, she well
coined the angelic escort that bore her up
to heaven. A. I. GooDLoE.

DIR. Harwell,s Address.

We dare only attempt brief account
ofthe address delivered by DIR. Harwell,
ofNashville, Tenn, at the Odd Fellows
Hall on Tuesday evening last, the Both
anniversary of Pythagorus Lodge, No.
%; fearful that in culling from so
much good bread our rendering
might turn out what to others would
appear only as water" yet we cannot
refrain from an outline. The Doctor
did not promise beautiful rounded pc
RODS, though unawares they slipped
from his oily tongue, and, with his
pleasant articulation, struck his audi
ence all the more foreibly as an I'M
promised treat.
He briefly noted the origin of Odd
Fellowship, dating it's birth as an
American order April 26, 1919, and
conferred the additional honor of
birth place upon Baltimore, four gen.
tlemen OF that city organizing the first
lodge. Touching upon its history and
progress he zones the earth in a centu-
ry with its links of Friendship, Love
and Truth. He handles his subject
from a negative position, non. political,
national, sectarian or religious, not
claiming that "all men are born free
and equal !" yet Odd Fellowship binds
round and about all her chain of mu-
tual dependence and universal broth
orhood. Not religious, though ac-
knowledging the Noble Grand of Gre
ation-God. He then changes his
tactics to the bold affirmative, defends
her secrets, applauds her tenets, COM
mends her ritual, and appeals to fair
women to urge her claims, and upon
retiring he is assured by sweet music
from women's lips that his allies are
all-powerful. May the good of the or
der be advanced, and may outsiders
profit by his well-timed and eloquent
address.
