The Case of Arnold.

Monday very manly Mormon was before the Third District Court. Mr. Orson P. Arnold was arraigned on an indictment charging him with unlawful cohabitation. He prompt ly pleaded guilty" Being ques- toned by the court, he frankly stated that he proposed hereafter to live strictly within its laws; that he proposed to support his second wife and her family, but no longer to live with them, and that henceforth he proposed to use his moral infiu- ence on the side of the laws. He was rightly let off with a slight fine. His bearing was that of sincere and true man who, after serious thought had reached a conclusion, and had determined henceforth to live up to it. Compared with the conduct of the heads of the church, the bearing of Mir. Arnold was such that everyone. who saw him felt that the promotions heretofore in the holy church had been by favor rather than upon merit.-Salt Lake Tribune.

Has ''Caught On."

"say, boss, what is the meanin' ov bein' a Mormon?" inquired Q lazy looking coon of an intelligent State Department clerk, as the couple met a few days ago.
 "A Mormon? Why, Q Mormon is a resident of Utah and averages from two to eighteen wives"
 "Well, boss, what fo' you white folks got so down on de Mormons and want to mak'em close der bus iness?"
 Because it is highly immoral, this thing of plurality of wives"
 q dunno muffin bout plurality, but Hess wish I could be q Mormon right down here in Washington. I'se only got one wife and she makes a libbin fo' me a takin' in washin'-and goddlemity. if I could be lowed by de law to hab twenty 1 needn't do muffin but drink gin an ride in de street cars all de rest of my born days. ."-[ Washington Hatchet.

The MOrmOns Alarmed.

Reports from Salt Lake City show that the recent severe course of justice in Utah has produced lit tie less than a panic among the disciples of Brigham Young. If reports are to be credited the hie- rarchy is on the verge of the great est crisis in its history. The saints had hoped to meet with some rec ognition of their long faithfulness to the Democratic party on its coming into power, but instead they are compelled to expect a con- tinuation of the uncompromising enforcement of justice which they have recently experienced. Revo- lutions, it is said, never go back ward. The country has become so fully determined that the laws shall be respected, that the Demo- cratic administration could not, if it would, protect the Mormons in their continued notification of them. They know that their only hope lies in such a corruption of party leaders and officers as shall cripple the law and render its en- forcement impossible. The mor- mon leaders would be glad to be rid of the Republican officers who have executed the laws under the Edmunds bill, but they have reas- ons to fear that polygamy will not go unpunished under their success ors. Having denounced mormon ism so uncmopromisingly in his in- augural address, MT. Cleveland cannot put the Federal patronage in the hands of those who would be influenced by mormon bribes. In fact, it is intimated that few re- movals or new appointments will be made in Utah. Certainly the best way for President Cleveland to tes- tify to the honesty of his profes- sions will be to continue in office the officials who have proved their fidelity and efficiency in admins tering the laws against polygamy. -T Portland Oregonian.

The Grenada gazette. (Grenada, Miss.) 1885-18??, 1885-12-19

We have been greatly amused with
in the past ten days to notice the
comments upon President Cleve-
land's message to Congress, made by
various country newspapers through
out this as well as other States. No
doubt these eminent quill-drivers had
become so addicted to criticising the
Presidents message under the long
lease of Republican rule that they
found it impossible to depart from
their former ways, Notwithstanding
we now have Democrat in the chief
executive chair who is a man after
his own ideas and who is in sympa-
thy with the interests of the people.
Our confidence in Mr.. Cleveland as a
man, a statesman and an executive
officer compels us to admit that he
knows his own business better than
we do, or better than any outsider
knows it, and that he is equal to any
emergency that may arise. We are
satisfied that he has made thorough
study of all the important national
questions set out in his message, and
this being the case, coupled with his
acknowledged ability and large brain,
he is more apt to view these subjects
in their proper light than anyone
else. In ancient times each man
knew more about his own business
than anyone else, but in these days
of modern civilization it is in most
cases just the reverse.

AS the holidays approach the guam
tity of liquors brought to our praak,
ton town by express and otheYyf fysG
seems to increase. The "anti-prohin
gets his little jug and is content,
while the leading "prohi' gets his
five gallon keg and prepareth himself
for the frolic. The doors of the
saloons are closed, and the town
shutteth off from its revenue, but
that is all, the liquor gets here all the
same, and we Godforsaken advocates
of whisky, are not the only ones to
get it either. This may cause the
hair to stand straight upon its end on
the heads of some of our "prohi''
friends, and doubtless some of them
would like to put their prohibition
heel upon our neck and crush US out
of existence for telling the truth.
But we are not ashamed of it. And
now if you don't mind the devil won't
get US, any sooner than he will some
of our prohibition friends. Which is
the better man, the one who favors
the legitimate sale Of whisky ahi is
not ashamed of it, or the one who
bitterly opposes it openly, and Sc
cretly slips around and gets all he
can swill? "Oh, Consistency thou
