The STATE debt question having been
practically eliminated from politics in Vir-
ginia by the recent decision Of the L. S.
Supreme Court. the AIahonetes are looking
about for new ISSUE, and the indications
are that they will select the tariff and here
after, like their allies the republicans, fight
under the banner of protection, and thereby
assist the men who compel every man, wo-
man and child in the State to pay double
price for almost everything they consume,
for the avowcd purpose OF Keeping up tho
price Of American labor. but with the real
object Of increasing the profits Of few rich
manufacturers. lfthc democratic speakers

The killing OF Chinaman is in nowise
different from the killing of an Euglishman

this, that the Chinaman is more molten

PROF. TYNDALL says that street
sprinkling is one Of the healthiest
things that can be done in city
during the warm weather. The
germs of disease which are developed
during the summer months do not
rise above five feet from the ground,
and float in the dust and dry air
about that height. The sprinkling
of streets lays the dust, fills the air
with moisture and keeps the invisi-
bic animalcule, which are so injuri-
Gus to health and which are inhaled
unperoeiYedY to the ground. For
this reason also, the sprinkling of
lawns, the irrigation of gardens
and the running ofstresms through
| out on streets, so common here, all
tend to make Salt Lake a healthy
locality and a desirable city for
residence.

WHICH Is THE LEssER EVIL2

It is q peculiar condition of
morals in nation which tolerates
the repeated legal acquittals of per-
SONS guilty Of offenses against every
law that is upon the statute book.
The United States is as kind as
Great Britain is cruel in this re-
spect. It has been said that in all
her dealings with Ireland the
government of Great Britain has
never yet erred on the side of mercy,
and the recent summary disposal Of
hishmen seems calculated to afford
basis for the assertion. With the
United States it is rare thing in
deed for people to err on the side Of
Justice. In Great Britain such oc-
eurrences as Iynching are unknown,
for the reason that sentences which
are carried out-invariably follow
convection. Hence it is that the
public does not find it necessary to
take the punishment of guilty per-
sons into its own hands. The course
pursued may at times appear harsh
and cruel, but the law is respected
and its supremacy maintained. A
man there who is guilty of wilful
murder, fully understands that a
discovery of his guilt is as certain
10 be followed by death as the sun
is 60 rise. Life, as a consequence,
Is respected; it is not considered a
thing to be dealt with lightly; the
provocation must be, beyond ques-
tfoD, justifsble. or the result is life
for life. The course in America is
very different. If the assassin can
ahoW a plausible excuse; if he ap-
pears to have had progocation; if
ne is capable of engaging cute
lawyers who can mistify witnesses
and distor5 the spirit of their tes-
ttmony; if he can buy the jury, Oh
If he has plenty Of money and can
keep on securing new trial after

mary measures-lynch-in order to
make the right to life respected to
the slightest degree. The result is
that it is a mere nothing
in the United States to kill
a man, and the chances are always
in fsver Of acquittaI. All things
considered one cannot help believing
that the English practice, even
though it seldom, if ever, errs or
Che side of mercy, is the more
Christianlike of the two, fer il
shows a respect for life and 8
determination to enforce laws as tc
command respect. In the United
States, the temperate administration
of laws accounts almost tt
Indifference, and instead of showing
a spirit of mercy, its tendency is tt
inculcate a spirit of lawlessness, {
defiance of law, a warped idea O
Justice, and will inevitably bt

all statutory forms. Under the
circumstances, one cannot hell

of Great Britain is--s long way The

respeet for life and virtue, then thai
community IS in 8 sOrrowful way
and its laws are Of only Indifferent

Which the Fast Mare Eats &
Bunch of Roses.


From the Hartford Courant..
On Saturday forenoon Nile Rhea, the
actress, was up bright and early and was
driven to Charter Oak Park, where Mr..
Bair was getting things in readiness for
the days exercising of the speedy little
mare. Rhea's escort had but to mention
to Mr.. Bair who his visitor was to gain
the strictest attention Of the famous
driver, anu in five minutes the Queen of
the Turf had her toilette completed and
was ready to meet the Queen of the
Stage. "Ze charming ani-lnal,' was the
impetuous exclamation Of Rhea, extend
ing both hands towards the winsome
Maud as the swinging open of the upper
half of the door revealed the 500. OO0
animal to viewl Maud came forward
with coquettish manner and rested her
head on the actress shoulder. the arms
of our young Belgian cousin clasping the
neck of the 2.lO Ia mare in loving en-
brace, Mr. Bair looked with evident
pride on the affiliation between the
actress who has captivated the hearts of
the American people and tn horse
which has trotted the fastest mile ever
recorded and is booked to do it in POS
or better within few weeks
Maud s. plav!ully nibbled at the clus-
ter of Marechal Mel roses at the corsage
of the visitor, and Rhea in the ecstasy of
the moment showed her disregard for
all rules governing valuable horse flesh
by freeing the bouquet from its fastening
and holding it out for the horse to eat.
The buds, leaves branches and all disap-
peared in the tV inkling of an eye, and
but for the alacrity of Bair the florists
wires would have been swallowed with
the blossoms. The mare was then led
from the stall and deyored few minutes
to capering around her admirers, and as
she was taken back to the stable Mile.
Rhea said: ''Oh, how beautiful. Iwish
she were mine."
