thirty thousand Mo,moDs. praying
f,r a pardon. There is no reason
why the Mormon representative Of
polvgamy should be pardoned, ard
the fact of bis trial being for a test
case makes it all the more necessary
that he should take the results Of
his conviction just the same as he
would have accepted the results OF a
decision in his favor. The law pro-
hibiting the practice of polygamy
has virtually remained a dead letter
upon the statute books for eighteen
years, defied and set at naught by
the Mormon people. But a decision
confirming the constitutionality OF
the law, followed by a pardon reliev-
ing the breaker of all respon-
sihility or punishment, would be
largely shorn Of its power by the
secondary act. A law s Of little ef-
feet when laxly enforced, but when
the first attempt to award punish
ment for its infraction is nullitied
10y a pardon it might as we'll be wip-
ed from the statute book. Mr.. Rcy-
nolds has been put forth to try the
effects of the anti-polygamy law,aud
should be allowed to illustrate its
workings to the end, for the benefit
of bis felIow-sinners who may learn
that they cannot longer defy the
power of the government. Although
Mr.. Caunon's letter is very respect
full and partakes largely Of the na-
ture of oily palaver. yet his utter
ances on other occasions L warlike.
He claims that "the Moimons will
resist to the last any attempt to car
ry out an unjust policy'-that is to
enforce the law. But the law should
be enforced to the letter-justice be
stronger than sentiment-and sufii
cient promptness should be display
ed to make up for the eighteen years
that heprohibition hasremained un-
needed by both the MormOus and the
government whose duty it was to
execute it.--Et{cauhce Sentinel.

R0TT'S REPLY
% a Charge of Betraying His Trust,

I'm an issue of one of yesterdays papers a
charge is made that J. H. w. Rott a leather
merchant doing business on Main street
two doors below Sixth, and living in a
handsome residence at st. Bernard, had be-
trayed his trust as School Treasurer of St.
Bernard to the tune of $5,635.
The article says that Rott made an as
signment for the benefit Of creditors, his
liabilities being put down at $40, 900 and his
assets at only $4,000. That for seven years
Mr.. Rott had been Trustee of the st. Ber-
nard free school, where only three teachers
were employed, that he was unable to pay
them, would make continuous levies, that
he had made an assignment, and that in
fine he was now in debt $5,635, money be-
longing to the poor of that village.
A STAR reporter found Mr.. Rott to-day
and asked for an explanation.
Mr.. Rott said that he did owe the school
S., ,635, but that most of the statements in
the morning papers were tissue of lies
that he had placed the matter in the hands
of his attorney, and that he would make
