A NOTABLE SUGGESTION.

The agitation against polygamy is growing.
| One of the recent manifestations of it was a
great meeting held at Denver, Colorado, at
which the evil was vigorously spoken against.
The Boston Adgerttser makes suggestion by
which it thinks the opposition in Colorado
to polygamy may be utilized. The idea has
been advanced that it might be good policy
to annex the Territory of Utah to the State
of Nevada, but the facts that the population
of Utah exceeds that of Nevada, that the pub
lie sentiment of Utah is favorable to polyga-
my, and that the enlarged State would be to
all intents and purposes merely govern
ment of the whole from Salt Lake City, are
conclusive reasons against such scheme. A
political union with Colorado is also out of
the question, but, as the Ad0ertiSer points
out a judicial union is not. The suggestion
is to annex the Territory of Utah to the ju-
dicial district of Colorado.
Of course such union is without prece-
dent and there are many reasons which can
be brought against it. But if it were made
polygamists could then be tried at Denver,
before United States judge and Colorado
jury. 1t would be objected that this would
take away the right of man to be tried by
jury of his neighbors. Concerning this OBJ
lection the AdgertiSer says: CATER all there
is little in the objection which does not ap-
ply to other parts of the country. Minneso-
ia constitutes but one judicial district, and it
might easily happen that a jury to try per-
son for crime committed near the Dakota
and Canadian lines should be taken wholly
from st. Paul or Minneapolis. If southern
Dakota shall be admitted to the Union and a
district court established therein, iuries to
try offenders in the Black Hills may be Who'll
ly drawn from Yankton and its vicinity In
the case of Utah there are special reasons for
going as Tar as possible, without establishing
lnconvenient precedents, to secure an en-
forcement of the laws. A whole community
sets at defiance a national statute. If the
spirit of free institutions, as it is called, be
in the fullest and most absolute sense of the
phrase the guiding principle, it is simply i'm
possible TO secure conviction, for it is I'M
just not to select the jury from the whole
body of citizens. 1t is as improper to ex-
clude from jury service all who are reputed
to have committed the offence of polygamy,
in such community as Utah, as it is to
choose jury from an adjoining State"
This proposition is bold one and will
probably not meet much approval. The fact
that polygamists could be convicted at Dem
yer is, however, strong point in its favor,
and certainly no more violence would be
done to our institutions" by its adoption
than results from the present state of af-
fairs in Utah.

in the South as Kid Miller, who was shot and
killed by saloon keeper in New York last
November. Though there was great dis

Colonel had habit of hourishing his hand,

in their line of business in the South But
the Kid was the most acute and daring OF

planter for whose money many aplan had
been laid, but who had thus far escaped the

that of Eastern Belgium and Westphalia,
