The position OF the Mormon press on
the way that men guilty Of certain crimes
should he tined. says the Salt Lake Tnb-
uue. and when convicted punished is
original. Ii was anticipated 10y the
Irishmgn who vas sentenced TO be hang
ed. He admitted the crime, and did not
obicc; to the punishment, but insisted
that as he had a throat difficulty. the
rope should be placed under his arms.
The Norman press can easily show that
everything done AZ present is Illegal, ev-
Ell up 10 the rulings OF the Supreme
Court Of the United States, but still in
sists that all that is asked for is that
trials shall lie fair. 1t is clear enough
that any tHal which will convict will be
held as unfair and illegal by that press,
which has not the manhood or integrity

appEehensions Of trials, by coming with

Pacific Coast rraIrhta-

At a meeting Of the Colorado, Utah
and Pacific Coast Railway Association
Wednesday, the matter OF freights from
Chicago to the Pacific Coast came up.
They were decided on some time ago to
go into effect March Goth. and wer.
made to take the place Of all rail through
rates from New York 10 the Pacific,
because the lines east of Chicago would
not consent to favorable terms. The
bulk of the business between New York
had been going by water to New Or
leans, and theuce by the Southern route.
The new rites from Chicago West,
as proposed, will have a tendency to
divert n portion of this trade to all
rail route. /; seems probable that this
will lie defeated, however, as Stubs,
OF the Central Pacific, gave notice that
his road and the Southern Pacific. from
Ogden and Mojnve, respectively, would
eHacttheir full proportion of the through
tariff OF January LIST. These roads hold
the key to the situation. Another meet
ing will be held in Denver two weeks
hence.

EDITORS PICAYUNE:-With your permission I wish to enter my pro- test against the decission of the school board, in not allowing cit .izens who are unfortunate enough not to have lived here prior to the first of last September, the benefits of our school-a school that in my opinion should be free to every resident of the town.
 Of course, I understand that it is difficult to frame a law or rule that shall be entirely free from objec' tions, bu. the greatest good 10 the greatest number, should have some influence in framing decis- sions that are of such vital import ance 10 the community. My objec tious Gge:
 1st. That such a rule will pre- vent people seeking homes in tGe South that have been accustomed to free schools 10 pass Preecott by and locate where the advantages of free school are real and not only ip name.
 2nd. Some people will say that .Ia ,,,,, ,aa;l,,iS hosa nait m tay. es and therefore should pay for school privileges. Let us see.
 When a new resident locates here he must either build new house of his own or rent property upou which the taxes have been paid by the proprietor and the ten ant in paying the rent pays sum sufficient to cover the taxes, inter est on amount invested, or at least accepted as such by the proprietor. So the Hew resident has virtually paid his legal share of taxes as re. ally as the reS&<lchl ol SeNtIal years.
 Again-When a family takes up resident in our midst it benefits e,r people directly or indirectly to the amount expended by that fami- ly fos qoccues, provisions. dry goods, drsgs, school books and at- ter ten days is spbi ect to road tax
