The Mormon polygamist Miles, whose
case has attracted wide attention during
the last three years. is to have new
trial, the supreme court of the United
States having decided that the Utah tri-
bunal erred in the admission of certain
evidence. Miles married a beautiful young
English girl. Miss Spencer. promising
her that she should be his only wife
Subsequently. against her protests. he
married Miss Owens. the last wife hav-
ing been witness of the first marriage
Miles was arrested, and his trial took
place under new code, then recently
adopted in Utah. which was so construed
rs to exclude Mormons from the jury in
this case. One of the grounds on which
the appeal was taken to the supreme
court was that this exclusion was illegal
The court overrules this plea. declaring
that at is evident from the examination
"of the jurors on their rotr dire that they
"believed that polygamy was ordained
'oi pou. anu tHat inc Pitttitc vi ppiN-
'.gamy was obedience to the will of God.
"At common law" the court continues
"this would have been ground tor the
principal challenge of the jurors OF
.'the same faith. Ii needs no argu-
"ment to show that jury COM
"posed of men entertaining such belief
.'could not have been free from bias or
prejudice on u trial tor bigamy of per-
''sou who entertained the same belief. and
"whosc offence consisted of the act of liv-
Sing in polygamy. Bnt whether the evil
"dence of bias was sufficient or not, il
"was so found by the triers. and that was
conclusive" This is very important.
since II removes one of the chief obstacles
to the conviction of Mormons for polygamv.
the presence of Mormons on juries and
their uniform refusal to convict. no matter
how strong the evidence may be. The
other important point decided by the
supreme court is that n second wife can
not testify against her husband in regard
to his marriage with his first wife. or
rice rersa. As wives will very seldom,
consent to testify against their husbands
under any circumstances. this decision is
not OF as much consequence.

The Senate Deadlock.

The majority in the Senate clearly have
the right to elect the officers to that body.
That they cling to it and insist upon it
strenuously is what should therefore be
expected. The minority in opposing and
obstructing the majority in this matter
place themselves upon indefensible and
revolutionary ground. That the majority
shall rule is a vital principle Of our gov
eminent. We can have No government
except by obeying that principle. The
South refused to yield to it when Lin
coin was elected and war was the result.
But the majority of the Senate must
take into consideration all the facts con-
nected with resolution upon their part
to stand out in fight against the demo-
Gratis which the latter can prolong to next
December. While they maintain the
deadlock public business suffers The
work which the Senate was called to-
gether to do is undone. A profitless con-
troversy goes on from day to day, Of
which the public will soon weary and de-
mand that it cease and the transaction Of
public business 90 forward. The major
ity can at any time put an end to this state
Of things, leaving to the democrats the
Offices for the possession of which
a few months longer they have AS
sumed revolutionary attitude before
the country and established bad precedent
which will create trouble hereafter. The
republicans have done enough to unmask
the character of the Bourbons in this con-
troversy and to bring down upon their
heads the odium which they deserve, but
let the former take care lest in refusing to
go on with the public business they over
step the practical line of duty and subject
themselves to ccnsure equally with the
revolutionary minority.
There Is an unmistakablc feeling grow
ing up among republicans that the dead
lock has continued long enough and had
better be broken Enough has been done
TO indicate clearly the principle at issue
and the position OF parties upon it, and now,
since nothing can compel the abandon
ment by the minority OF their revolutiona-
ry position. let them bear the odum of
public condemnation, while the majority
consent to endure in patience a while lon
ger in order that the public interests may
not be obstructed and suffer no harm.
