BEEcHER is RIGHT.

TIE Rev. Henry Ward Beecher, pecu-
liar and orthodox as he may be in re-
ligion, has the happy faculty of being
right on most questions. In another
column will be found telegram which
he sent from his PeekskiH home, advis-
ing that the Republican State conven-
ton of New York put in its platform
Va plank in favor of dealing with the
hnuof problem through high license.
He bases his suggestion upon the decla-
ration that "absolute prohibition is an
absolute impossibility. This is terse
and good way of putting 1t. The fight
against intemperance in New York has
been long and determined; many able
and good men have worked hard and
faithfully to protect society from the
evils of rum, employing their ability
and money without stint to that end,
but their progress has been slow and
unsatisfactory. That they have
not accomplished more is be-
cause they undertook too much,
and refused to profit by the
experience OF the world which has shown
that there cannot be prohibition while
men and women retain their natures
and appetites and society continues
what it is. Generations of exertion in
the direction of controlling men and
their appetites having failed, the effort
should now be made as Beecher sug-
gests, to. control the business. This
man be done, for it is being done in
MANY cities and States, as in Utah. The
liquor traffic has never been under
better control, and the evils of intemper-
ance were never less, than when high
license was enforced. We have in mind
a city of this Territory, which for
many years tried to enforce prohibit
ton, in which undertaking it had all
the authority that the statutes could
give, and its officers were energetic and
efficient; yet in spite of all that could
be done liquor was sold and there was
not little Drunkenness. Finally in
despair of overcoming the evil, it was
concluded to make the traffic pay the
cost to which society was put in trying
to control the evil, and a high license
was imposed. The result was the OPEN
ing of saloon or two, but no more
liquor was consumed than when there
was prohibition; only those who drank
before imbibed now. and drunkenness
was no more common; instead of the
sober people of the town taxing them
selves to preserve order and protect
themselves against the drunkards, the
licenses paid the expenses of controlling
the traffic.

The New Music Firm.

CoalJer and Snelgroye are another q
the many firms who know that the way
to reach their patrons lies through the
SUNDAY HERALD, and in to-day's issue
they make a handsome display of the
lines they carry in their well assorted
stock. The youth, rustling ability, and
wide acquaintance of both members OF
this firm, guarantee them a heavy "a
tronage among music lovers, and the
popularity of the old firm of Daynes &
Coalter is apt to be more than ever in
creased under the new regime.
Coalter & Snelgroye. have placed be-
fore US copy of the timely and neatly
gotten up Hero" waltz, composed by
our well-lnown lady teacher, Mrs.
Flora s. Hill, adapted for piano OF

ton is guaranteed it.

BISHOP UDALL.

The conviction of Bishop David K.
Udall, of st. johns, Arizona, of perjury,
as reported in THE HERALD few days
ago, seems to have been the result of
malice on the part of the judge, prose
cutting attorney and jury. The alleged
Perjury was committed IN the United
States land Office at Prescott, where
Bishop Udail appeared as a witness in
the proving up of a land entry. Udall
explained TO the clerk in the Office that
he could not answer "yes" to certain
questions, but explained to what extent
his absolute knowledge OF the facts went.
The clerk said that the knowledge was
sufficient and that it would not be i'm
proper to answer yes, which Udall
thereupon did. He was then indicted
and tried, Sumner Howard being the
judge. The jury was selected because
of its pronounced hatred of Mormons,
and the judge, as a matter of course,
denied to the accused every right and
privilege that could be withheld. Under
the circumstances conviction was GER
tain. Udall was sentenced to three
years in the Detroit House of
Correction, and rushed off east
before his wife and friends had an OPP
portunity to even bid him goodbye.
While his offiense was technically per-
Jury, he was convicted because he was
a Mormon; the ofense OF which he was
guilty is committed every day in the
average land Office, and nothing is
thought of it nor is anything done
about it. Howard and his pals have
long been trying to get their hands on
Udall, and now that they have sue
ceeded, they are highly pleased. Many
of the non-Mermons in and
about st. Johns denounce the conYic-
ton as a cruel outrage and. it is said
that some of them are moving in the
matter of trying to obtain a pardon for
the Bishop, who seems to enjoy the con.
dence and respect of the better element
of the Apache County community.
