The Cannon Case.

The decision of the United States SUI
preme Court sustaining the Supreme
Court Of Utah in the case of the Mormon
Argus q. Cannon knocks another prop
from under polygamy. The great diff.
Guilty in prosecuting Mormorns for polyg-
amy was TO prove marriage with the plu-
raj wives. Indeed, 1t was found abso-
lutely impossible to do this. Under the
Edmunds act it is not necessary to prove
marriage. All that is necessary is to
prove unlawful cohabitation. The Nor
mons have always entertained the idea
that they could defeat this law because 1t
does not require it to be proven that the
unlawful cohabitation is with women who
hold the relation of wives, and hold it be-
cause of a marriage ceremony.
MIR. Cannon is quite a prominent man
in Utah, and the fact that he will nave to
pay fine and undergo imprisonment for
the crime of polygamy ought to open the
eyes of the Mormons TO the fact that the
government is in earnest in this matter.
There ought not to be great difficulty,
perhaps, in securing convictions for
polygamy now that the Supreme Court
has settled this point OF the law, and il
there is need OF additional legislation to
make the law more effective, the chances
are that there will be no trouble in secur-
ing it. The administration is certainly
determined to do what it can to put an
end to polygamy.

The Walsh Case.

For the first time in fitty-six years in
this county a white man has been con-
victed OF murder. There have been many
murders committed in that time by white
men In the county.
The jury in the case OF John Walsh,
charged with the murder OF w. Fl. Daw.
son, last night returned a verdict OF
guilty. The condemned man is not to
suffer the full penalty Of the law, how
ever. On the jury's recommendations, he
goes to the penitentiary tor life.
1t is to be hoped that he will not escape
mis- fun sentence by means of a pardon.
There is no doubt that he was guilty Of
the crime with which he was charged and
there certainly was NO excuse for it.
The community would have been better
satisfied II there had been no recommen-
dation from the jury, not because OF any
special feeling against Walsh, but because
OF the belief that the only way to check
murder Is % punish murderers to the full
extent Of the law.

Silver Bills.

The number of bills and petitions which
have been introduced already into Con-
gress relative to the silver question indi-
cate clearly that that question Is to &C.
cupy very prominent place IN Con-
gressional proceedings this winter. In
the Senate, Senator Mitchell has intro
duced bill 10 authorize an exchange OF
trade for standard silver dollars. and
Senator Mcpherson has introduced bill
to suspend the coinage of silver dollars.
In the House, petitions from eleven States
have been presented asking that no action
be taken hostile to the silver dollar, and
several bills have been introduced.
Among the most important of the bills
is that of Judge Kelley, of Pennsylvania,
who gave considerable attention to the
silver problem while in Europe last sum-
mer. His bin provides for a very small
coinage Of silver dollars until the coin
age of both gold and silver as full legal
tenders shall be established at common
ratio by the leading commercial nations
of Europe in concert with the United
States"
Another bill that is attracting attention
is that OF William l.. Scott, of Pennsvl-
vania. He proposes that the Secretary Of
the Treasury shall be authorized TO create
a silver reserve fund, to consist wholly OF
standard silver dollars, to be maintained
at the minimum limit of 1000, 900, and
that whenever this fund falls below that
limit the Secretary shall be authorized to
coin in the succeeding month enough to
make up the deficiency. 1t will be seen
that this plan insures the people all the
| silver dollars they want. but will not
afford a supply greater than needed.
The advocates of silver ought to be sat-
isfed with Representative Scott's plan.
( They ought not to want to force upon the
| people more silver dollars than they need
/ She silver advocates insist that the people
want more silver currency, and if they
/ believe what they say they ought to be
willing to accept the Scott bill, because
/ under its provisions there Is no danger
that the demand Tor silver dollars will
ever exceed the supply. The refusal to
! accept the Scott bill, however can be
/ construed in only one way, and that Is 10
make the people take what they don't
want This bill leaves the whole matter
with the people. Representatives who re-
! ject the leading features Of this bill will.
in effect, say that they DO not intend o.
! permit the people TO exercise their iudg.
ment as to what they desire in the matter
( Of silver dollars.
