CHICAGO, ILL.,, May 18.-The wheat market
was very fiat in early trading, prices dropping
off A@sc from the closing figures of last night.
There had been q heavy short selling during
the two preceding days, and the bears were
allowed to be in complete possession of the
field, due in the main to the advent of warmer
weather. Then there came in some gloomy
crop forecasts, the reported presence of grass
hoppers in Texas, and q good home and ex-
port inquiry for spring wheat, all of which
occasioned an instant revulsion in the temper
of the market, prices advancing sharply 1sc
from the bottom, with the bears showing q
frantic desire to cover their short sales. Trad
ing to the close in the afternoon was active,
and the feeling was quite firm at the finish at
' early the best prices of to-day. The receipts
and shipments were free.
CORN.
There was only q moderate speculative
business in corn, but the market ruled steady,
responding to the advance in wheat, and
closed fc higher than yesterday. The re-
ceipts are only moderate.
OATS.
There was o good shipping demand for
oats, and the market ruled steady and some-
what firm,
PROVISIONS.
In provisions trading was very light, with
the feeling o shade easier.
CATTLE.
The receipts were again moderate, yet for
the week 80 far the number shows an increase
of about o, 600 head. as compared with the
same time last week. There was an active
demand from first to last, with a sharp up
turn of 10@l5c on big heavy steers and the
ordinary run of shipl ing steers. In a general
way the market Is only about 5@10c lower
than the highest for the last week. Hardy
little cattle are making extremely high
prices. Steers under 1000 pound averages
are making 81. S0@5 10 aud ther5 abouts.

GEORGE RONINEY.

There is sorrow when a man like
George Romney goes. to the Penitenti-
airy, but when one does go, his friends
and acquaintance all feel like taking
off their hats to him, for they feel that
a brave and honest man is suffering be-
cause of his bravery and honesty,
which will not permit him to do other
wise. One may not believe as Mr.. Rom
ney believes; he may think and in his
own mind feel convinced that the gen
tleman is misguided and in error, but
he cannot help feeling of respect for
such a man, and pride that there are
men in this world with whom religious
convictions are all-controlling. The
honest Gentle no less than the Mormon
must acknowledge a degree of regard
for the sincerity of an intelligent, clear
headed, conscientious man who can
go to prison easier than he can stay
out, when the staying out involves
any reflection, within himself, upon his !
integrity. We have known Mr.. Rom |
ney for many years; have known him |
intimately. and are familiar with his re-
putation in the community; and we are
not saying too much when we assert
that his life has been such that his pre-
sent prison experience viii put no stain
upon his name or character; he is in
no sense a crank" and there is
nothing of the enthusiast about him;
what he has done has been from an alb
solute consciousness of right, and the
once established in his
mind he is immovable by threats or
actual suffering.

TWO KINDS OF MEN.

7 The grand jurors atSeattle, Washing
ton Territory, seem to understand the
duties of inquisitors somewhat better
than did the grand jurors sitting in and
for Sweetwater County, Wyoming, last
week. The Seattle gentlemen under
stand that when a man has been will
fully killed a murder has been COM
mitted and it is the duty of the grand
jury to learn who committed the crime,
to indict the criminals and present them
for trial; that society demands the hang
ing of murderers as punishment and a
warning, and that a native of China is
human being who can be murdered.
The Wyoming inquisitors understand
and know none of these things. The
Seattle jury has just indicted five white
men and two Indians who participated
in the late anti-C Chinese riots there,
charging them with murder in the first
degree. The Sweetwater jury knew
that many Chinese had been crually shot
down and Drained, and it would have
been no difficult matter to learn by
whom the killing was done. but as only
Chinese were slaughtered and as the
was the deed oftwhite men, it
was not deemed worth while to go
deeply into the investigation or present
for trial.
If laws, government or society mean
anything the Seattle jurymen are de-
cidedly preferable to those of Wyoming;
but if laws, government and society are
simply terms meaning mobs, then the
Seattle inquisitors are usurpers who
should be run out of the country by
men more powerful than they, or should
be hanged for assuming TO interfere
With the right of one class of men to
shoot down at pleasure men of another
lass.
Considering everything, we are going
o venture to give the preference to the
men of Seattle. As citizens, as members
# society, they seem to have the advan-
age, and their course is more likely to
effect credit upon themselves and the
commonwealth. than did the conduct Of
be Wyoming;tas.

charge of violating section OF the
Edmunds law, His Honor would
promptly discharge the accused holding
that the provision did not apply to his
case, inasmuch as the man had but one
wife. the other women being merely his
mistresses, no marriage ceremony hay-
ing been performed. There has been just
such case in His Honor's court, and
the Chief Justice was so anxious to tree
the Gentle that he usurped power which
the law denies him in order to discharge
the fellow without permitting the
Grand Jury to find an Indictment.
The District Attorney agreed with the
judge so perfectly that he did not make
an effort to hold the non-Mormon
whose guilt of conabitation with more
than one woman was not even denied
by the man himself. The plea of the
accused was simply thathe was married
to but one, though cohablting with
others; in other words, that he was
an unlawful cohabitationist," but out
side the marriage relation, and not as a
Mormon. According to Zane, Dickson
and the Tribune man may have one
wife and cohabit with and have chlden
by any number of women, without VIC
latlng the law or laying himself liable
to prosecution; but if he marries two,
though he cohabits with only one, he
is guilty of unlawful cohabitation; IL
other words, non-Mormon who doesn't
bother about the ceremony of mar
riage, cannot commit the CRIME, but a
Mormon who has deep reverence for the
ceremony must be guilty in
spite of his innocence. The Boston i'd
vertiser thinks the Tribune, Zane and
are wrong. and that the law
was intended to be impartial, and the
Advertiser is right as to the law, but I'M
it isn't the court, and there
ore cannot have its way.

The Bsston Daily Aducrtiser, from
whose columns We recently reproduced
a sound and forcible article protesting
against the Utah courts Interpreting the
unlawful cohabitation clause of the
Edmunds law SO as to make it apply
only to Mormons, contains this edi-
torial paragraph in its issue Of the Sd

tion," applied as fully to polvgamists

The Commission, and to order the words
expunged, that the law might be made
to apply lmpsrtially according to its
reading and in harmony with decent
regard for fairness and justice. The
Commission was forced to undo its
