CLEANING.

1t is said that the District Attorney,
Commissioners and the Marshal were
so industrious IN searching for polyg-
amists and in subpenaing witnesses to
testify against polygamists before the
last Grand Jury, that they all find them
selves with comparatively little to do
now. in other words, about all the
polygamists in the district have either
been presented for indictment or the
evidence is insufficient to warrant the
bringing of a prosecution. If this be
true, polygamy cannot be so widespread
in its operations as the country has been
led to believe, for the whole number OF
polygamists proceeded against, or who
have gone into temporary retirement,
cannot exceed their score. Thai the
story of this scarcity of persons against
whom to proceed is largely true, any
one at all familiar with the community
can readily verify. Who are poly
gamlsts and who are not is well known
by everybody who has lived here a few
years, though not many persons may
possess such knowledge of the fact as
would make them competent
witnesses in court against poly
gamists with whom they are
on intimate social terms. In running
through his list of friends, acquaint-
ances and neighbors, one can find few,
if any, persons even accused of pelyg-
amy, who have rot been indicated, or
whose cases are outside the operations
of the law. A gentleman whose posi-
ton makes it necessary for him to be
familiar with the inhabitants of one of
the most populous wards in the city, in
forms us that he knows of but one or
two polygamists in the entire ward
whose cases have not been investigated
by the Grand Jury.
This would indicate that, so far as
Salt Lake is concerned, the raid against
polygamists will now have to cease for
want of undisturbed polygamists. The
courts and officers may extend thei-
operations into the county, but we
imagine the picking there will be dryer
than it has come to be in town,

MoRMoNs AND JURORS.

A gentleman writes that THE HERALD
twill eblige other readers of THEHERALD
as well as me by informing us If Nor
mons can be legally kept off the Grand
and Trial Juries in cases of polygamy
and unlawful cohabitation, and also,
if Mormons cannot serve as jurors, IS
itlawful for non-Mormonssto serve who
are guilty of unlawful ~cohabitation
with more than one woman?" Whether
or not Mormons can sit on juries in
prosecutions for polygamy and unlaw-
full cohabitation depends upon their
practices, past and present, and the be-
lief of the Mormons as to the rightfuIness
of poIygamy .and-of the practice ofcohab-
iting with more than one woman. TheEd-
munds act declares it good ground for
challenge to a person drawn as a juryman
first, that he is or has been living in the
practice of bigamy, polygamy or unlaw-
full cohabitation with more than one
woman; or, second, that he be-
lieves it right for a man to have o
than one living and %undiyorced wife at
the same time, or to live in the practice
of cohabiting with more than one
womanln Hence it will be seen that a
Mormon who is a pelygamist, or be-
lieves that polygamy is right, cannot
lawfully serve as a juror, if he is chal-
Ienged; mol is it more lawful for a non
Mormon to sit as a juror in the trial of
polygamOus cases, if he is guilty of I'M
cohabitation with more than one
woman. A defendant as well as the
prosecutor, can challenge a juror for
cause, and may question him on his
oath as to the existence of any such cause
Of challenge. In the trials for polygamy
are TO begin next week, it would be
quite as proper for the District Attorney
to ask non-Mormon jurors if they are
with more than one woman
AS to ask Mermons if they practice or be-
lieEe in the rightfulness of polygamy.

UNwIsE YOUNG MEN.

1t is said that fully eighty per cent. of
the applicants for government offices
are young men, and the saying of this
IS equivalent to the suggestion that the
young men of the country lack much of
being what they should be in the mat
ters of ambition and independence. At
the most the incumbent cannot hope to
hold the Office longer than eight years,
and the occupancy is usually less than
four years, and the longer the term is
the less is the man, when he gets out,
prepared to wrestle with his fellows in
the struggle for existence and place
among men. When a man accepts an
appointive Office, he surrenders more or
less of his independence and loses a por-
ton of that manly, ambitious determ-
nation so necessary to the achievement
of success in life. The young man needs
all his abilities stimulated by all honor
able ambitions and progressive de-
termination, to win his way to success
in this world, hence he ought not to
permit himself to be reduced by the al
lurements of ofice-holding, and thereby
make his future advancement and pro-
gress more difficult. In this country
there may always be found something
to do by the yoang man willing and
wanting to work, and usually that
something proves much better and more
profitable than a government office.
Plainly, the young man who is ambi-
tious to make for himself a name
and win for himself fame in this
country, cannot afford to waste
the'most valuable years of his life in a
government Office from which he is La
BILE to be removed at any time, ana
turned out upon a none too sympa-
thetic world, ill prepared 10 engage in
the real struggle of life. The energy
that he needs thus has been wasted, and
the ambition that helps so much has
been deadened from a failure to use it.

THE BOOMERS.

Yesterday being the time appointed for
the trial Of the thirteen boomers arrested
last week. they were all on hand. Captain
W. l.. Couch and Secretary McCord came up
from Arkansas City on the noon train, ac-
companied by Judge J. Wade Mcdonald,
their counsel, but there was no trial. The
day Col. IIsliowell left here he wrote Judge
Foster, requesting that he come here yester-
day and continue the adjourned term to the
2ith inst, in order 10 give time to summon
II grand and petit jury to try these cases.
Owing to the fact that the United States
circuit court conyenes in Topeka the 2Gth to
dispose of certain cases set especially for
that occasion. and as Judge Brewer cannot
possibly be there, Judge Foster must, there
fore il Is impossible for Vim to hold court
here the oath. Owing to this fact Deputy
United States Marshal George Sharett, of
Leavenworth. came down Sunday night and
adjourned court sine die, which throws it
over TO the regular term in Septembe-, when
all the boomer cases will be dispose
Fifteen additional warrants w@re issued
last Saturday and twenty-five yesterday. and
il is the intention oi the United States au-
thorities to continue to issue warrants.
This makes fifty-two warrants up to this
date. Several of the arrested boomers left
last night for Arkansas City and Couch and
others will 90 down this morning. In con-
vcrsation with an EAGLE representative
Couch declares that he will go into Okla
homa and Gen. Hatch declares rs positively
that he will not. Couch says be will furnish
them with 5000 men to arrest. He SAYS
there are now at Arkansas CITY fully LOCO
and they are coming in daily. Gen. Hatch
will go down this morning on the same train
with the boomers. II WAS supposed by many
that Gen. Hatch had orders not to fire on
the boo merS but the general says his orders
are TO keep them out and he thinks that
means TO fire L necessary. The general in
tends to join the troops to-day.

In view of the fact that early in the confer

away by fire, and that the burden of replac-
