is ANYONE urging upon the Department
Of Justice the propriety of speedily compile
ting the Montana penitentiary with The
$4,000 Appropriated for that purpose and
placed under its control. While there are
not nearly SO many prisoners now in the
penitentiary as heretofore, convicts recently
sentenced by the Territorial courts are de-
MED admission, and are kept In the jails of
the several counties at largely increased cost.
This should be remedied by the early CONS
plstion Of the south wing, which will furnish
accommodation for all. 1t would be we'll IL
the contracts were now advertised for that
work might begin in May and the building
be ready for occupancy In August or Septem.
Der. Perhaps the Department of Justice
would expedite matters little If its memory
were logged. We hope Delegate Toole will
look after 1t.

POLYGAMY THROTTLED.
THE SUPREME COURT sUsTAINS THE
UTAH COURTS.
Rudger ciawson's Case Decided.

WASHINGTON, April Sd ecision was
rendered by the United States Supreme
Court to-day In the polygsmy case of Rudger
Clawscn against the United States, brought
here by writ Of errsr from the Supreme
Court of Utah. Clawson, plaintiff in error,
was indicted for polygamy at the April term
Of 1884, Of the District Court Of Utah, and
after trial found guilty aud sentenced to .
fine Of $500 and four years Imprisonment.
He appealed to the Supreme Court of the
Territory, and that tribunal having affirmed
tie judgment Of the District Court, brought
his case here for review, upon the ground
that the grand and petit jurors by which he
Was indicted and tried were illeg ally cousti>
tuted. The alleged Illegally In the impan-
cling Of the grand jury consisted in the ex-
clusion, upon challenge, Of persons who be-
one undivorced wife living at the same time;
and, In the case Of the petit jury, in the
drawing Of jurors from an "open venirs,"
after the whole annual jury list of the one
hundred had been exhausted through
THE EXCLUSION OF PoLYGAMIsTs.
This court, in carefully. prepared opin-
ion Of Justice Blstchford, decides against
the plaintiff, in error upon both points raised.
Section Of the Edmunds act provides ::
"That in any prosecution for blgsmy, polyg-
amy or unlawful cohabitation, under statute
Of the United States, it shall be sufficient
cause of challenge to any person drawn, or
summoned as juryman or tslesman, that he
believes 1t is right for man to have more
than one living and undivorced wife at the
same time"
This court holds that the proceedings to
impanel q grand jury, which finds indict-
ments for one of the offenses named under
the statutes of the United States against .
person not before held to answer, are part
of the prosecution, and that the indictment
is good, although the persons drawn and
summoned as grand jurors were excluded by
the court from serving on the grand jury
and being challenged by the United States
for the cause mentioned in the Act, the
challenges having been found true with re-
respect to
ALLEGED ILLEGALITY
in the case of the petit jury, the court holds
that whore, under section of the act of
June %, 1874, relating to courts and judicial
officers in the Territory Of Utah, the names
in the jury box of the 200 jurors provided
for by that section are exhausted, the jury
being only partly impaneled, the District
Court may issue venire to the U. s. Mar
shall for the Territory to summon jurors
from the body Of the judicial district, and
the jury may be completed from tho persons
thus summoned. The judgment Of the court
below Is accordingly affirmed.

THE report comes from St. Paul railroad
circles Of serious difference of opinion be-
tween President Harris and Vice President
Cakes, Of the Northern PacIfc--a difference
that may lead to the resignation of either at
the June meeting of the Directors of the

Harris is q stakeholder in the American

with Wells, Fargo & Co. The rate war
which the Northern Pacific is fighting with

The Way Of this worrysome World.
Minneapolis Tribune.

There Is fine sequence of retributive jus

action of England Egypt was placed in an
attitude Of diplomatic rebellion against Tur-
key. Thereupsn the Mahdi rebelled against
the Egyptian authorities. Now the Makki
rebels against the Mahdi. The Makxi has
not yet acquired sufficient influence to be
rebelled against, but some one will probably
arise against him as soon as it is worth while.
