but we have little doubt that substantial
justice was done, and that the forms of pro-
ceeding in English criminal trials were
complied with. We think quite as much
attention was paid to the representations of
this government as Irishmen would be will
ing TO have us pay to the representations of
the English government in similar circum-
stances, for example if some Englishman
should come over here and shoot O'Donovan
Rosa.
AS for the general and asowed aims of the
Land League as an organization, they are
not in question. Nor do we doubt that
many Irishmen disapprove Of the violent
course Of those who are making the most
noise under cover of protested sympathy
with their native land. The matter of which
we spoke is the notorious phenomenon, that
whereas there was at first great professions
of horror at the killing of the two officers OF
the English government in Dublin, lately
the demonstrations have all been in appar-
ent sympathy with the criminals, and the
other murderer who took upon himself the

A New York Evening Post reporter inter-
viewed Bishop Sharp of the Mormon church
the other day on the Mormon problem. The
Bishop seems to have been very complacent
and very ready to talk. He did not believe
that the plan for governing Utah by com
mission would succeed because Senator Ed
munds had expressed opposition to it. Mr..
Edmunds's proposition to make civil mar
riages in the territory compulsory he consid-
cred SO excellent a one that he proposed to
forestall the Senator by introducing into the
territorial legislature bill designed to ac-
complish the same result. To the repeal of
the woman suffrage law he had no obiec-
ton. Indeed, he was in favor of it, mas
much as it would save Mormon women
from contact with many disreputable charac-
tiers. 1t had never been looked upon with
much favor by the Mormons, but owed its
existence to the Gentiles who had advocated
it in the belief that Mormon women would
take advantage of it to emancipate them
selves from the control of their husbands.
The secret of the Bishops complacency in
the face of the proposed legislation was re-
vealed in his declaration that with polyga-
mists and women excluded from the fran
chise, the Mormons would still have all the
voters they needed to control the territory.
This is equivalent to saying that nothing
can be accomplished by Acknowledgement
unless it be applied to homogeneous as well
as polygamous Mormons, for the former,
though they do not practise polygamy, are
in sympathy with it, and will allow no mea-
sures to suppress it to pass the territorial
legislature.

The Defence Of Irish Sympathies.
What there is to be said in explanation of
the apparent inconsistency of Irishmen, in
their conduct and sympathies in respect of
different phases OF. the case of the assassina-
ton OF Lord Cayendish and Mr.. Burke and
the events following it, is said by one of them
IN the PRESS this morning. We do not
know that the article calls for any rejoinder.
All the writer's epithets of indignation are
directed against Carey and Judge Denman.
The former is 'fa foul and inhuman mons
ter" and of the latter the writer of the COM
munication says it would be more proper to
say he murdered O'Donnell, than to say
that O'Donnell murdered Carey. OF the
men whose accomplice Carey was there is
no condemnation, but we suppose, as all
English trials are pronounced a farce, they al
80 were 'sjudicially murdere.." Full credit is
given to O'Donnelps account of the circum-
stances of his shooting Carey, and no cred
it to those of quite as disinterested persons
who testified differently. No account what
ever is taken of O'Donnell's substantial con
fession to his brother, made after it was use
less to maintain longer the theory of inno-
cence.
1t remains true that discredit was per-
sistently and continually cast upon Carey
from the time it was known that he had
made confession. While il is notorious
that his life was not safe for moment in
Ireland it is altogether likely that if the men
whose accomplice he was had been set free
they would have been lionized. 1t was not for
his share in the crime of assassination that
Carey is execrated by Irishmen, but because
he confessed and exposed his associates.
Suppose tn at Carey was not entitled to the
reward. Somebody was. The murderers
were discovered and convicted Has there
been anywhere any demonstration of salts
faction in that result? Again, as soon as it
was known that Carey was murdered a
shout of exultation went up from both sides
OF the ocean. The murderer was commended
and glorified on the supposition that he had
reVenged the executed assassins. It was not
until later, when he appeared to be in dan
ger of condign punishment, that the theory
OF self-defence began to have prominence.
Touching the detail of the trial we. cannot
say whether Judge Denman did right or not;

The contempt proceedings against ex-Sen-
ator Spencer have developed the facts that
the subpoena which was served on him dur
ing the star route trials was not in legal
form, that it did not direct him to remain in
attendance on the court more than one day,
that no penalty was mentioned for non-com-
piiance with it, and it was not served by any
person having legal authority to serve it. 1t
is not probable that all these defects were
accidental. During the trial it was asserted
that Mr.. Spencer's attendance was not very
much desired and that the anxiety of Mr..
George Bliss to find him was all pretended.
The character of the subpoena is certainly
corroborative of this view.

To the Editor of the Press:
The managers of the Temporary Home for
Women and Children gratefully acknowledge
the receipt of one hundred dollars from the
State st. Social Circle. This money is given
for the special purpose of aiding the society in
obtaining building fund. There is great
need of house especially adapted for such an
institution, and the managers are making
strenuous efforts to provide one. Let other
religious societies not be slow to follow such a
praiseworthy example and prove in substan-
tial way that they wish to save from tempta-
ton and sin, those, who are not strong enough
to guide their own footsteps. Let them help
tbs society to throw its sheltering arms
around the little ones, who are left homeless
ana unprotected or who are being dragged
down into vice by unworthy parents.

With the sleighing comes a peril which
the police ought to be active to prevent We
refer to the danger to pedestrians from fast
driving in the streets. Already some very
disagreable accidents have happened which
barely escaped being tragical. Ladies and
children who cross the streets are in spec
ial peril from fast and reckless driving, and
they cannot avoid such peril by ordinary
care. Wehave heard of lady nearly run
over, who fell in her fright and received pain
full injuries, and of a boy who was knocked
down by horse but fortunately not severely
hurt. We have seen several narrow ESCAPES
where the fault was clearly with the driver.
Whether there is an ordinance against fast
driving in the streetswe do not know, but
there ought to be one with severe penalties.

In the address, of Gov. ROBBIE to the State
Grange at Bangor last week State Master
Sims of Kansas was quoted as saying that
there were secured at Hutchinson and
Oterlings, Kansas, from the Sorghum sugar
industry as follows: no bbls. of sugar and
seven gallons of molasses to the acre of land.
with value of $780, Men who were ia
miliar with sorghum and knew its capacity
for sugar making recognized at glance that
either State Master Sims's statement was
grossly misquoted or that its author was a
worthy rival of the famous Munchausen. 1t
appears now that the compositor who set up
this part of the Governors address was the
innocent cause of all the trouble. He mis-
took lbs. for bbls., and the proof slips which
were used by the press throughout the State
contained the word barrels where it should
have been pounds. By substituting the lat
ter for the former the statement is relieved
of its absurdity.

is adapted to illustrate the popular legend that leap
