A WAY OUT.

Secretary Thomas has received from
Washington pardons for eight different
people under the Edmunds law. The
people who have taken the benefit of the
amnesty clause of that Act have displayed
common sense and a decent respect for
the law. These people were liable to
prosecution for unlawful cohabitation,
and had they been tried, the probabilities
are that they would have promised obedi-
ence to the law in future. How much
wiser was the way in which they extri-
Gated themselves from the meshes OF the
law. Would they or their families have
been benefited in the least by an obsti-
nate defiance OF the law and suffering
imprisonment? They certainly would
not. If man could purchase
perpetual immunity from punishment
for the commission of crime by going to
Jail for six months, one could understand
why men convicted OF violating the law
go to Jail. But they cannot purchase
this immunity; If they could it would be
judicial sale of indulgences. There are
number OF men in prison now for vio-
lating the Edmunds law, and what do
they propose to do when they come out ?
This is the Important question TO them.
If they continue to violate the law in
the future as they have in. the past, they
can expect to be punished again. Men
do not willingly and joyously go to Jail,
although some OF those who have been
in Jail six months for unlawful cohabita-
ton speak OF their incarceration as q
mission" We are Of the opinion that
they are not anxious to be called on
another of the same kind; in fact one OF
these same missionaries has said he
don't propose to be caught again. Just
think of calling Emission" being
caught. Is it not in bad taste to call a
mission" being caught? What will be
the line OF conduct OF those who don't
propose to be caught in future? Will
they cease their unlawful practices and
live within the law in future, or do they
propose to go on violating the law, and
merely make their violation OF the law
more stealthy? Ii they are caught they
will certainly be punished again.
These people who have just received
Presidential pardons have shown Their
friends and co-religionists way out Of
their difficulties, and that way is open to
all who wish to tread it. Some eighty
have now chosen it, and this is encour-
aging, for these eighty will serve as a
leven among those who are liable to pros
ecution, as they We're. The way they
have chosen, if pursued by all, would
soon put an end to the Utah problem.

A SOCIAL QUESTION.

The resolution that Senator Vest intro
duced into the Senate on the 2lst inst,
in relation to the Kelley case has brought
that case again prominently before the
country. The President referred to the
case in his message in dignifed man
ner, and to this reference, no doubt, is
owing the resolution of Senator Vest.
The resolution is to the effect "that the
position assumed by this Government,
and the principles affirmed in said cor
respondence by the Secretary OF State,
meet with our unqualified appreciation. !"
This was followed by paragraph citing
that portion OF the Constitution which
says that no religious test shall ever be
required as qualification for office. The
reason for introducing this bit from the
Constitution is found in the letter of
Count Kalnoky to Secretary Bayard.
That letter contained as its last sentence
the following
The position Of foreign envoy welded to
Jewess by civil marriage would be unten-
able and even impossible in Vienna.
1t was not n happy pretext, and the
surprise is that an Austrian diplomat
should have used it, for Austria is of all
the governments in Europe most tenac-
ious OF the old methods of diplomacy,
that diplomacy which uses language to
conceal thought.
The matter of Mr.. Keiey's rejection
resolves itself into social question. This
is the view now taken OF the matter,
and the discussion in the Senate turned
upon that point. Senator Hawley,
interrupting Senator Vest, said that prob
ably the Austrian Government did not
mean that there was any legal or polit
cal objection to Mr.. Kelley because he
had married Jewess, but merely to in
innate that socially it would be very dis
agreeable to him. The social standing of
Minister at foreign court is as i'm
portant as the standing OF his own coun-
try among the nations. The good will OF
a government to which Minister is
accredited is chiefly shown through social
"hioiloo, "i" W pun sociai siiShl upon
Minister is to affront the government
from which he comes. Social Sights
would have been inevitable to Mr..
Kelley in Vienna. Senator Plumb also
took the view that tho matter was Il
social question in SOM respects, He put
the case p'linly and 10 the point
when he said Mr. Kelley was appointed
TO peri some Fgeial duties about the
court oi Vienna md he could not do
these unief the AUSTRIAN Emperor should
receive him at tAe drawing rooms" at
which 20 nebility and others of social
standing atc roce;ved, because the people
having that standing would not associate

A FRIEND OF SILVER.

A week or so ago number OF "bank-
ers, merchants and Others" decided to
boycott the DEMOCRAT on account of some
comments on that part OF the Presidents
message relating to the silver question.
\ gentleman OF this city has received
from IN Illinois banker letter on the
lnatter, from which we are permitted to
maIle the following extract;
II is inconceivable to me how any one who
has long been in such broad-guage bust
ness as banking should undertake TO ''boy-
cott'' anybody; and still more SO that they
should be willing to publish to all the world
that they have done SO, l am very good
friend of silver myself, but you will never
see my name attached to any such document
as the one you sent me.

with Mr.. Kelley" That was the actual
reason for the rejection OF Mr.. Kelley,
and it may be that the Austrian Govern
ment was anxious that the representa-
tive OF the American Government should
not be subjected to social sights. 1t is
to be regretted that the name OF Mrs.
Kelley should have been banded about
on two continents, but so it is. After all,
social preiudices are far stronger in this
world than political prejudices, and that
which the majority OF mankind desire is
social equality rather than political
equality.

The great walking contest between
O'Leary and Weston closed on Saturday.
By many in Utah it is believed that there
are a number of people on the Under
ground who could outwalk either of these
great pedestrians. At least they can keep
on the run longer.

SUDDEN DEAlH,

Jonatha Donneil Falls IN Front of the
Postoftics and Expires Instantly From
Heart Disease.
Considerable excitement was occasioned at
half past ten o'clock this morning when an
old gentleman was seen to fall to the pave
ment in front Of the postoffice. Parties who
were standing near rushed at once to his as
sistance, but it was Of no avail as the ,psrk
OF life had fed. He was Immediately
recognized as Jonathan Donuell, one
Of the Oldest residents of Clark county,
and the father OF James N. Dounell,
the Arcade grocer. The lfeless body was
picked up and tenderly carried into Mr..
Donnel's store, only few feet away from
where the deceased fell. Coroner was imme-
diarely summoned aud the remains were con-
veyed to the late residence OF the deceased, at
No. l5T Stanton avenue. Word had preceded
them, and his family WAS, in q meas
ure, prepared to receive the re-
mains OF the father and husband
who bad but few hours before left the house
apparently in his usual health. Mr.. Donnell
accompanied his two daughters to the G. c.
G. l. depot this morning, where they took
the train for Cincinnati. He had about made
up his mind to 20 himself, but when he 90,
to the depot he complained OF not feeling
WELL and said he would not 90. Not more
than five minutes before his death he was
standing at the depot talking to his nephew,
Thomas B)yd chief of police He ssid be
was not feeling well and that he was going
home. He started off, walked down Market
street to High, and east on High to where he
fell.
Deceased WAS born about six miles east of
this city, near Harmony, August 81, 1897,
and was therefore in his fifty ninth year. He
was raised on the farm, and up to two
years ago, followed that vocation. At this time
he began to have heart trouble, and he finally
decided to move into town. During the pss,
summer his health has been falling. and he
spent several months at Magnetic Springs.
