In ALL states speedy trials are a
constitutional guarantee. Yet it takes
any where about two years of persls-
tant and expensive prosecuting to hang
a murderer. In cases of notorious,
and even admitted, guilt the machin.
cry of the law does not seem to admit
of speedier results. 1t comes in part
from a morbid sensibility of the public
conscience that sanctions by its pa,
thence, if not its approval, the slow
moving process that lands culprlt on
the scafold face to face with the execu.
toner. One thing or the other of capt.
tai punishment and its substitute were
much better than neither, or nothing
Then we have in the routine of the
Grand Jury system another heavy drag
on speedy trials. What should be re.
uuired of legislation is some measure
by which arraignment, trial, conviction
sentence and execution would flow
rapidly along, not taking more than as
many consecutive weeks as there are
stages, or events, here named. Lee

Darious Brimmer's Smart Cat.

From the Troy Telegram
Darious Brimmer, of Berlin, N. Y, is the
owner of very valuable cat. A trout brook
runs through Mr.. Brimmer's farm, and the cat
brings in a fine mess of trout about three times
week. Tommy will 60 to a place in the
creek where the water runs between two rocks
very close together. Here he will watch for
his prey, and the first trout that attempts to 60
through the narrow place is bounced upon by
the cat and carried in triumph to the house.
He then returns for another, and has brought
in as many as six good-sized trout in one af-
ternoon.

bic. The condition of its use is that
the operator must always have his
badge on his person under penalty of
arrest, and that he can only sing such
pieces as bear the official stamp.
One effect of such management is
that the quality of street singing In
Paris is of a high professional cast !;
many singers are well known by name,
as connoiseurs, and are persons of con-
siderable genius. 1t is seldom indeed
that the number of 100 is full, as infe-
rior hands can not make living at it.
Fees range from 7 or 8 to IL or IS
francs day, with larger aggregates on
Sundays and holidays.
Might not American cities improve
the stock of incumbents in municipal
office by giving them, like the Partisan
street singer, the quality of perma-
nence, abolishing removal and rota-
ton, restricting emolument to reason,
and cutting away the demoralizing
"perquisite!' Functional proficiency
would result, as in music; and it would
be good thing to have munipal office
here as respectable as the street sing
ing of Paris.
SAMUEL WooD died in New York
several years ago, leaving very large
estate, we think about three millions
of dollars. He took it some way into
his insane head that he might have the
right to apply some of his money as he
chose; and under that impression left
a bequest for founding the Samuel
Wood College of Music of the City OF
New York." The will however was
Immediately contested by the heirs at
law, who relied upon the fact that the
testator supposed he could make such
use of his money as proof of his inca.
pacity to make will at all, indeed Of
his being staring mad. The litigation
has closed over the testament and New
York is without the College of Music.

Be yourself and mean what you are
No matter about circumstances OF
rank; no matter for opinion or creed;
whether you 60 to church on Sunday,
or stay at home; keep your sanctuary
within your inmost or are without
sanctuary-so that you have sincerity
directness, earnestness in all you feel,
think and do. Such qualities are bet
ter than wealth or honors, better than
power or rank; for they are parents
and sources of these. AS humility
wells the highest station so they only
are greatest who have sought to be
the least.
WHAT a wretched sum of human
misery is contained in that crime
haunted tabernacle the New York
Tombs. There is, perhaps, in no city
in the world prison better tenanted
with worse criminals, herded under
worse regulations than make notorious
this abode of the vicious and aban-
doned grades of New York social life.
Truly it must be cruel fate that first
brings the neophyte in crime up at the
dead level of that local horror. Here
is ever waiting an army for the gibbet,
and from these ramify downward,
through the various degrees of crime,
multitude utterly without CLEAN of
sun to warm or light the frozen dark
ness of their wintry lives. What swift
humiliation would await a sympathlst
of the angel world if it were the prlvll-
eye of such to drop in on some fallen
friend in that dreadful hell.
IT is said that Germany is bursting
with republican ideas and that the
death of the superanuated old Emperor
and king will be the precursor OF an
other extinct dynasty, the foundations
of the government crumbling into ruin.
The era of change has fairly dawned,
and the efete dynasties and exploded
dogmas of a dead past are passing
away. Spain has temporarily receded,
and France is yet alone in the grand
stand of Republican governments, but
there is not nation in Europe that is
not teeming with democratic ideas and
almost in the throes of parturitlon.
The fast anchored isle may be the last
of the old monarchies because it is the
least of a monarchical government and
the best.

VINO have other very adroit and able
/ secret agents there, and who are in
command OF very large sums of
money, have put in the hands of
these agents funds quite sufficient.if
"placed where it will do the most
good" to prevent the passage of
either of the proposed bills. The
other story is that these same secret
agents have been industriously en-
ployed in looking up the personal
record of every Congressman and
Senator respecting his faithfuln ess
to his OWE marriage VOWS. and that
m very many instances they have
obtained evidence of facts which
these honorable gentlemen would
give all they possess to conceal. IL
has been said that one private de-
tective firm in this city has been en-
gagged in these searches since last
August. and that the evidence thev
have obtained is voluminous and
conclusive. The story goes, there
fore, that when it becomes necessary
to bride, bribery will be attempted,
and that when it becomes necessary
TO lntimidate, intimidation will be
resorted to.
AL this is sufficiently notifying
and disgusting, and we hope that
the Mormon agents will not find it
so very easy to either terrify or
brighten our legislators at Washing
ton. But if after all this big talk in
the Senate and the House, and the
preparations and presentation of so |
many bills, the session should end |
without really practical legislation |
ON the subject. people will begin to
think that some honorable gentle
men have been either Lulldozed or |
bought.--GrGphic.

Will 1t Come To More Than
Talk.

If the present session of Congress
ends without anything practical be-
ing accomplished to uproot and des-
troy pOlygamy in Utah, it will not
be for want of bills offered, resolu-
tiOns proposed and speeches made.
The tables Of the Committees On the
Territories and On theJ judiciary are
piled high with petitions and memo
rails upon the subject, and numer-
Gus bills providing methods for
graphing with the twin relic have
been presented in each House.
Senator Edmunds has bill to
punish polygamy by fine and i'm
prisonment, and to make the prac-
tice of polygamy sufficient cause for
challenging juror in a trial for big
amy. Senator Vest has a bill to make
a wife competent witness in a trial
for bigamy in the Territories. Rep
reSentative Willis, Of Michigan, has
a bill to reorganize the Legislature
of Utah, and another to regulate
suffrage in the Territories, making
the practice Of polygamy disqual-
ification for voting or holding Office,
and providing for the registration
of voters. Representative Shallen-
berger, of Pennsylvania has bill
preventing persons livIng III bigamy
or polygamy from holds any office,
facilitating convictions fer bigamy
eraduletry and regulating marriages
Representative Payson. of Illinois,
has bill making polygamy a disa-
bility to hold Office and Furnishing it
with fine and imprisonment. Rep
resentative Burrows, of Michigan;
Haskell, OF Kansas, and McOoid, of
Iowa, have each introduced res0lu-
tons declaring that a pOlygamist is
not entitled to membership in the
House.
The very unpleasant story now
comes from Washington. however,
that here is no serious intention Of
passing Mr. kdInunds's bill or any
of the 9th anti-polygamy bills.
