SHERMAN, Aug. 1.-[Special. The
colored Odd Fellows had picnic yes
terday, and at night the colored folks
had bali oyer tho Mer chants restau-
rant, on the northwest corner of the
square. About midnight negro
named Ed White informed Policeman
Melton that another noggo named
Wash Humes had a weight, and he
was sfraid he was going TO have a
difficulty with him. Melton searCbed
the suspected negro and found no
weight or other weapon. White per
sisted ttat he did have one, and said
no wanted TO get even with him, a. ho

burglary that had been committed,
Melton advised them 10 both 20
home or behave themselves,
and lett them and went across
the street to the livery stable.
In short while negro came running
down stairs, calling police. Melton
went to him and told him no was q
policeman, and the negro, whom he
recognized 80 being Wash Humes,
then told no had cut o
negro up stairs and wanted TO
give himself up, but wanted Melton
to 60 with him to tho livery stable, as
there was no one TO drive the bus TO
the depot (Humes drives the bus TO
the depot at night.) Melton, from tho
manner Humes acted, supposed that
there was some slight difficulty, and
went with Hunes to the stable and re-
ieaaed him on bond. On returning to
tho dauce be found Ed. White dead
from q cut i'm tho neck. He at once
went back and arrested Humos and
locked him NJ.

THE HERALD has been asked to ex-
plain clearly just what constitutes I'M
lawful cohabitation, according to all
the various rulings and declarations of
Chief Justice Zane" but THE HERALD
confesses its inability to do so. If the
inquirer, however, wants the informa-
ton for personal reasons, and will send
seme particulars of his case, we may be
able to tell him whether or noth comes
within Zane's definition of one who is
guilty. Indeed, we may indicate rule
by which our correspondent will know
for himself, whether or not he is liable
to arrest, which, of course, means con-
Ylctlon. The general rule is that if he
is a Mormon he cannot get himself into
a position of safety, but if he is not a
Mormon he may have as many women
as he can induce to endure him, and he
runs no risk of prosecution, or if prose-
cuted, No risk of conviction.

THE RIGHT THING TO DO.

A certain class of non-Mormons seem
to look upon the mass meetings that
were held in the Territory last Saturday
as improper and in a sense
criminal gatherings on the part of the
Aormons. One of these days some
crank will pop up and declare that it Is
treason for a Mormon TO enjoy air,
water and sunlight. Not only were the
Mormons not wrong in holding those
meetings and adopting their statement
of grievances and protest, but they
would have been failing IN a
duty to themselves, had they
not done something of the kind.
They are citizens OF the Repub-
lie and as such are entitled to pretec-
ton, fair treatment and justice. These
they claim have been and are denied
them; they further assert that they
are the victims of persecution at the
hands of men sent here and held in
power and authority by the general gov
eminent. They have done what they
could to obtain their rights here, have
appealed to the courts only to be de-
MED and still further oppressed, and
now they go to headquarters for the re-
lief which they have been unable to OBJ
tain this side. The mass meetings
were right, lawful and legitimate
the proceeding was the proper one TO
take by community in the distressed
condition in which this one finds itself.
a fair. truthful statement of grievance
was formulated, and modest, earnest
appeal for relief drawn up, and were
rightly presented to the people for

NOW AND THEN.

The veteran editor of the Philadelphia
Times, Colonel Mcclure, writes to his
paper from Washington as below. Ii
NAV be here stated that Colonel Nc
Clure is one of the closest political OBJ
servers in the country, and comes as
near to occupying an independent posi-
ton in politics as an editor may and
succeed
well remember the crowded hotels
and streets and Cabinet officers and
heads of departments twenty four years
ago. when the political revolution had
swept the Democrats out of power and
inaugurated the Republican rule that
has now in turn been swept out by the
Democracy. The contrast is truly Won
derfuI. Then there were thousands
surging against each other in wild
cIamor for place: now the streets are
completely deserted and place seekers
have departed. A few Senators and
Congressman drop in every day to help
some friends along, but the horde OF Of
fice-seekers have learned that neither
regulation petitions, boisterous clamor,
nor importunate seeking can command
favor with the administration. The
predicted swarm of hungry Democrats
upon the Capital, is not visible, and
there are few if any more men here now
after place than has been common all
the time when there was no change OF
party power.
The Republican newspaper organs
fill much of their space with
stories about the hungry hordes"
of Democratic office-seekers. The above
shows how hungry the Democrats are,
their hunger being in marked contrast
to that of the Republicans twenty-four
years ago and ever. since. To-day the
Republicans display more greed IN
the manner in which they hang on,
than the Democrats do to get hold of
what belongs to them. Colonel Nc
Clure continues, bringing out a fact which
will make Republicans sick at the
thought of the Indifference of Demo
Gratis: "a Cabinet officer told me this
evening there were not recommends
tions or names On file in the Depart
ments for half the offices now va
can't" If there were ever a time
in the history Of Republican admin
istration when the applicants were not
more numerous than the Offices them
selves, not merely the vacancies. the
party has been greatly slandered. In
Republican times there was rarely a
vacancy for which there were not fully
hundred applicants, and new places
were created frequently to satisfy the
demand of the fmportunate and hungry
politicians.
Colonel MoClur gives an insight into
the way the present administration is
working. He says: IN
The President and Cabinet officers
have arduous duties in this great work
of starting an administration that is to
mark a departure in political history
and they have not been able, even work
ing day and night, to keep up with
vacancies which have occurred. saw
the President hard at work at his desk
at 10 o'clock tonight with one Cabinet
officer just dismissed and another in
waiting, and that is a fair sample how
the administration is working to get the
party under way.

their adoption, and that they might De
given the force of the voice of the en-
tire community.
If the Mormons were to sit down ana
uncomplainingly swallow the dose that
their enemies prepare for them, and
without effort to defend themselves,
accept the strokes of the lash that the
vicious would like to lay on their
shoulders, they would be unworthy the
respect of each other. THE HERALD Is
glad the Mormon meetings were held
and that the statement of grievances
and appeal were adopted. and we hope
the relief that is so much desired will
come before greater evils and more dis
tress are imposed than have already
been inflicted upon Utah.
