A GREAT JOURNALIST.
A Distinguished Newspaper Man Who Always Told the Boys When

Colonel ,hn H,ddeEly was one of the best known newspaper men who ever threw ou, great castings ot public opinion in Arkansaw, There was only one trouble with the colonel his lack of money. At one time he ran A small daily paper in Ho, Springs, He dressei with extreme care and hasdled small gold aded cane in an exquisite manner, but he did no. keep himself uospotted from the In. moral werld.

It is quite likely that Bill Nye will travel through the south during his lec- turing tour. Nye is in demand, but it is to be hoped that the north and west will act generously with regard to him. In our opinion, there never was a truer hu- morist than Bill Nye. His quaintness of style is always fresh, and underlying everything he says, there is a strong sub soil of good sense.

efforts in the musical cause in this city
will probably come to a close-at least
for some time to come. He spends the
summer at his home up north, and ex-
poets to leave in the fall for the east to
pursue the study of his profession. 1t
is to be regretted that in his closing
effort, his friends will not have the priv
llege of testifying in a substantial man
ner, how highly they appreciate the
hard labor he has devoted to the musi-
cal cause in our midst. The absence of
any admission charges, however. is said
to be due to the fact that allowing
church buildings to be used for paid en-
tertainments. subjects them to license
as concert halls.

our Amusement future.

Nay Blossom is meeting with success
in San Francisco, though judging from
the critics expressions. it has not inn
pressed that city as it seems to have
done New York. The engagement of
the May Blossom Madison Square COM
pany in San Francisco, and their reten-
ton there during part of the summer,
is significant to Salt Lake of one fact
we are not to witness so many of the
notable attractions in the future as we
have done in the past. Eastern man
ayers have for some time been casting
about for a device which would save
them the heavy item of fares
across the continent and return, for an
entire dramatic company, and they
seem to have hit at last upon the right
plan. The Frohmans, who have man
aged good many of the trans-conti-
mental troupes, sent out May Blossom
last week with very strong company
of people. capable of doing work in any
sort of drame. Joseph Wheelock and
George Cayvan being the two leading
people They also closed with Fanny
Davenport for a San Francisco season
of Fedora, but instead of engaging her
across the contin emit the manuscript
and parts of her play TO the May
Blossom people. assigning the parts,
putting an agent in to rehearSe, and in
forming the actors that they must be in
readiness to support Miss Davenport
when she arrives. Miss Davenport
passed through Ogden alone yesterday,
and tomorrow reaches San Francisco,
where she viii appear IN her great play,
supported by the May Blossom Com
pany. When Fedora's run is over she
will return east, and some one else will
be sent west to head the company with
Wallack's success of Impulse, the parts
and manuscripts as before, being all the
managers have to pay transportation
on. How long this will be kept up
there is no knowing, but if it works
successfully everyone can see that it will
cut down our amusements very materi-
ally. It may perhaps result in giving a
boom to home entertainments, in
which event we viii readily consent to
survive.

The LirelH Aimee.

Wednesday, Thursday and Friday

THE ring streaked and speckled legislation
sought in the name of the metropolitan police
system by the pending bill, is as gross a vio-
lation of the Constitution as can be. 1t is
special legislation, pure and simple. The
letter of the law that is "dodged" by the
tortuous track of this bill as it wires in and
wires out over the State, picking up cities
here and there, but passing carefully around
the Democratic pet, Fort Wayne, only brings
into sharper relief the gross violation of the
spirit Of the Constitution which it is.-The
News.
The present bill no more unconstitutional
than the bill under which Indianapolis and
Evansville were put under the metropolitan
police system. The latter law was even more
Special than the one which now proposes to
put three or four cities under the control of
the State. The truth is, that all the Especial"
legislation is in defiance of the Constitution,
drawn purposely to defeat the Constitution,
passed with that full knowledge, and con-
tinued by the Supreme Court with the under
standing that it is on evasion of the supreme
law of the State. The whole business of
special legislation shows the prostitution of
the Legislature and courts to the persistent
disregard for law.

supported Christian prophet" The whole
campaign seems to have been a series of
plumbers from the outset, and at no time has
the situation been as critical as now. The
government will have hard time in trying
to satisfy the opposition that it is not ineom-
petent, and should give way. The death
of Gen. Stuart, following that of Gordon, Earle,
Burnaby and Col. Stuart, to say nothing of the
loss of life in rank and file and of treasure,
must produce the profoundest dissatisfaction
throughout England. It is evident enough,
we think, that General Wolseley, the General
Mcclellan of the Egyptian campaign, should
at once be superseded by some officer who
will concentrate the now scattered forces and
move forward to some purpose.

degradation of the women hass been so often
dwelt upon that 1t loses some of its force by
repetition, though the full horrors can never
be told in words. To maintain this suprem-
acy of RIGHTEOUSNESS, the elders and rulers
unite to form an organization which not only
undertakes spiritual guidance, but temporal
control of the ignorant hordes of believers as
WELL The laws of the United States are ig-
nored or resisted when in conflict with their
purposes. The government is looked upon as
an enemy, and resistance is not only encour-
aged, but urged as religious duty. That re-
bellion may not occur among the members,
care is taken that they be kept ignorant, and
also poor, a financial ring existing for the en-
richment of the few at the expense of the
many. Like the gigantic devil-fsh of the
southern seas, the Mormon Church stretches
its arms in every direction, and whatsoever it
reaches is touched with death. When It's
power is fully understood, many will, like
Miss Field, be ready to pray that its hold on
tie state and the social fabric may be loos-
ened without the shedding of blood.
