Mr.. Perrepoint is of the opinion
that the Utah Commission, from
which SO much was expected, have
thrust a scandal upon the Republic
can party. When the commission
made their appearance 10 Utah it
seems they were captured by the
willy Mormons, and treated so gen
erously and Hospitality that they en-
franchised about $4,000 of them
and disfranchised only about 3, 500.
Enough we're enfranchised to give
them entire control of the Legisla
ture, and tof every State and local
office. This proceeding SO disgust
ed the Gentiles that they made no
effort to elect their candidates be-
cause effort was useless. The Nor
mons are now in just as good posi-
ton for controlinglthe affairs of the
territory as they were before the
Commissioner was appointed.

A Baltimore clerk states publicly
that bookkeepers in that city are
paid, as a class, but s. or $40 a
week, very few obtaining 1900
per annum. These low salaries are
said to be prevalent because of SO
many Vlrginians and Caroliniaus in
vading the city and working for lit
tie or nothing. Meanwhile, in Bal

MOB LAW.

There is too much lynch law in
the United States Every case Of
lynching brings the regular courts
more and more into contempt. 1t
does not make any difference wheth"
or the victim of the mob is guilty or
not. When men trample the laws
under their foot and execute MUIR
derer without due process of law, they
outrage the law precisely as the vic
tim of the mob's vengence violated
it. The work of the mob is not
punishment. 1t is vengeance. The
legally constituted authority only
can punish. There is no Disgusting
the fact that the tendency of the
period is toward mob law and crime
will continue to go unpublished 80
long as the rule of the mob is upheld
by public sentiment. If the same
zeal and determination were shown
in support of the law that are so
conspicuous in executing a mob's
vengence there ~buhd be ne trouble
in impsrtially executing the laws
against crime. 1t is the duty of the
press and pulpit and Of every law
abiding citizen to discourage mob
law. The mobiles set the very laws
at defiance under which they them
selves bold their lives and property
Carried out to its practical conclu'
sion the argument urged in defense
of the acts of the mob will abolish
all law and resolve society into its
original element where each man is
a law into himself.

Anecdotes of Alex. Stepbens.

Many anecdotes are extant of the mis-
takes made In regard to him. His head
was so small, his body SO emaciated.
that few, at first sight, could believe him
to be the great Stephens. Once. while
vice president of the confederacy. on his
way to Richmond, be was taken at Dan
vile by presumptuous official for some
country boy. He produced his certif-
cate of identity, signed by his county
clerk, but the pompous official declared
that at was too thin, and would nm
doabtedly have conscripted him. but for
the fact that he looked too weak to pack
a musket. On another occasion he saved
a drunken soldier from being put off the
cars for disorderly conduct, and when
the fellow had sobered up enough to re-
gain some of mis- senses, he asked the
name of his benefactor, and on being
tcld that it was Vice President Stephens,
simply sighed, and said, "Such is
fame. On another occasion he was in
vited to a commercial convention at
Charleston, s. c., where he was expect
ed to make the great speech of the oc-
casion. Arriving quietly at hotel kept
by lady, he threw himself down on a
lounge to obtain rest. The bustlinp
housewife was keeping everything in
apple-pie order, for the benefit of her
distinguished guest. and wishing to start
up the country youth, as she supposed
he was. in as mild a manner as possible.
when two portly country merchants ar
rived she said: Wake up. nv SOP.
and let these gentlemen have this seat. %
