MATRIMONY IN CHILE.

Quite an opposition has of late
months been manifested by the churches
in Chile over the Civil Marriage law of
1888. The Government will not allow a
clerical marriage any force in law, nor
will the church allow any force in reli.
gion to a civil marriage. As most of the
women are on the clerical side, and most
OF the men on the Government side,
there is q general suspension of mar
riages except among the very poor.
These are content with the clerical rite
alone or Indifferent to any ceremony at
all. The proportion Of LEGITIMACY in
births in Chile is prodigious-exceeding
twenty-three per cent. In the United
States it is less than seven per cent. In
Austria, the European country which ap.
proaches most nearly to Chile in this
particular, it is less than thirteen per
cent.
The correspondent of the New York
Herald anticipates the inquiry why be.
trothed Chileans. desiring to preserve on
the one side civil rights about inherit.
ances and legitimacy and satisfy religious
scruples on the other side, do not agree
to the performance of both ceremonies.
He says that the clergy afix conditions
to the bestowal of the sacrament of mar.
riage to which men of character and in.
dependence are unwilling to submit.
Neither party shows any sign of yield.
ing. On the contrary, the Government
was arranging some more radical legisla.
ton about marriage and the clergy were
preparing for an uncompromising opposi.
tion with the alliance of the feminine
half Of the population.

We are indebted to Pompeii for oul

ming e party of Americans found, in
what had been the pantry of a house,
many jars of preserved figs. One was
opened, and they were found to be fresh
and good. Investigation showed that
the figs had been put into jars in a
heated state, an aperture being left for
the steam to escape, and then sealed

THE STUDY or THE DEAD
LANGUAGES.

One OF the most sensible articles on
the steady Of Greek and Latin which has
fallen under our notice is by Professor
Blackio, Of Edinburg, and is published
in the University Quarterly. The Pro-
lessor is one of the few men who can
think in Greek, and it is said that when
he dreams it is the only language spoken
by the spectres.
. His conclusions are the result of nearly
two generations of experience with
young men, for he is quite advanced in
years, and they are stated in that ex-
cathedra fashion with which his friends
are familiar. A professional man wants
Greek and Latin, he says, because they
are the language of scientific Technology,
but a bright youth ought to get enough
in six months to last him a lifetime.
Neither language is absolutely necessary
to fine scholarship, and they may there
fore be catalogued under the head of
literary Injuries. "The highest culture
which an educated gentleman, as dis
tinguished from a professional scholar,
requires at the present age can be at
tanned without either" This is rather
strong language, and we are not sure
that we entirely agree with the statement.
Two things, however, cannot be empha-
sized too much-irst, that there is just
as much mental discipline in the careful
study of a modern as of a dead language,
and the notion that one must dig up
Greek roots in order to get discipline is
an exploded myth; and second, that for
eight boys out Of ten who attend our
colleges German and French are worth
more than Latin and Greek. The latter
may be . comfort, but the former will be
of great practical value In any sphere OF
business which may be chosen. 1t is
well to know both Latin and Greek, but
n certainly must know German and
French,

The situation I'm the Northwest.
CHICAGO, June 22.-Advices from the
Northwest frontier say that the United
States Indians IGros ventres, who had
crossed over to take a hand in the rebell-
ion with Poundmsker and Big Bear, have
been driven back across the line by Stew
arts scouts. They are still hanging about
the border, and may yet give trouble
after the troops withdraw. II is believed
that q large number of Canadian Assigns
boine Indisns have gone south with the
Gros Vensres. 1t is the intention of the
Canadian Government to station 80
mounted police along the frontier in the
future to prevent the cattle raiders, who
have been so successful in their operations

AN EXPLANATION.

1t is a small matter and one in which
the public, in this particular regard, has
little interest, but in justice to the patrons
of the DEMOCRAT and to this paper and
to Mr.. Harte, our local reporter, we wish
to say that there was no promise given
by the DEMOCRAT, or any one on its staff,
to Messrs. Remington, Johnston & Co.,
that there should be no mention made of
the defalcation of their bookkeeper, in
our columns. Mr.. Harte last night de-
MED that the promise was given, and
when this was shown to Mr.. Remington,
Mr.. Remington branded the statement
as a lie. 1t is not lie; upon the
contrary it is the truth. We
will say further that we can
see no special reason why crime COM
mitted in Remington, Johnson & Co.. IS
office should have any special indulgence
and be hushed up any more than any
other crime 1t seems to make a Won
derful difference with some who are cry
ing for an enforcement of the laws where
a crime is committed, and that some have
a right to a benefit of clergy while others
have not. No, crimes are crimes every
where and should not be hushed up, but
srduh be punished.-EditW DENocRATS

UNTO THE FOURTH GENERATION

The reversal of the Hopt case and the
order of the Supreme Court of the United
States that it be sent back for trial is be-
coming regular thing, almost as regular
us the adjournment of the Constitutional
Convention. 1t now comes back for a
fourth trial, and no doubt for a fourth
conviction of Hopt In Utah it will stand
as great test case, case in which a
number of Federal Judges were tested
and found wanting. So familiar has the
public become with the law in this case,
that it has been deemed a safe bet among
those who wager that the case would be
reversed. There were no takers. During
the last trial there was no doubt about
the Supreme Court of Utah being sus-
tanned by the court of last resort, and so
sure were the judges of this that they re-
fused stay of execution pending the ap-
peal, and said there was no provision in
the laws authorizing such a proceeding.
But they magnanimously suggested that
it was case for Executive Glenn
ency, and upon the Executive
was thrown the responsibility of de-
Gliding the matter. To aid the Executive
in arriving at correct conclusion as to
the course he should pursue in the mat
ter, a mass meeting was called in the
Opera House at which number of highly
infammatory spec ches were made, and
which to some sounded like an incite-
R1ent to mob law. One gentleman, and
Salt Lake evening Democrat. [volume] (Salt Lake City, Utah) 1885-1887, 1885-04-21

a prominent member of the Salt Lake
bar, said that the appeal in the case was
a mere shell and there was no substance
in il; while another gentleman, and
member Of the bar of Provo City, endorsed
this assertion, and in grand peroration
said: 'Let justice take her course" which
meant execute Hopt and allow no appeal.
1t seems now there was something in the
appeal, and had the wisdom of the pop
ulace prevailed, there would have been
judicial murder committed. The action
of the Territorial Supreme Court in this
case was condemned by all, and right
eously condemned too. 1t threw upon
Secretary Thomas, who was the acting
Governor at the time, a grave respons-
ibility, but he met the responsibility as
man and did his duty as an officer,
unswayed by popular clamor for
vengeance, and not for justice. 1t
should teach the epeople thatthe safeguard
of the innocent as well as the guilty
is the law and the observance OF all Its
provisions, no matter how often man
may be found guilty by an inferior court.
1t is to be hoped that some day the
Supreme Court of Utah will find out the
law in this case, for SO often as the case
is tried just SO often will Hopt be found
guilty The case is one of great aggrava-
ton to the sense of justice of the COM
munity, and Sheriff Turner, whose son
was the victim, has behaved nobly
throughout the many trials which have
been had, and is to be honored for his
conduct

Her Majesty goes to strange place bed
and its furniture are dispatched from
Windsor for her use. Two were sent off
a couple of weeks since from the work
shop of the castle, the one for the Queens
cabin in the steam yacht, Victoria and

Queens beds at Dahlstadt. 1t was sent
out when she went there last year.

cases. Once in while people will go
to hear a man of wide reputation; but
nnety-nine times out of one hundred the
address is bore. Peoplei don't go to
