Riel is not guilty or that he has not been
fairly tried. Several times the English
Government has suspended execution OF
criminals on the request Of this Govern
ment, and out of respect for the Goyefn-
ment and for no other reason; and w1eu
the ground upon which such requests have
been made have been investigated,
they have proven to be hollow pre-
lenses. The last case of this kind
was that of Dr. Lawson, and the
showing made by the Department Of
State in his behalf was humiliating to
Americans and irritating to England.
These things have no other effect than to
make the relations between the two
countries less cordial than they are.
What would people here think if the
English Government should request the
President to stay the enforcement of a
sentence where man had been convicted
of violating the Edmunds law, and it was
found the man so convicted was subject
of the Queen? Most people would be in
clined to say if England does not wish her
subjects punished for violating the laws
Of the United States, she must keep her
subjects at home, and the sentence would
be carried out just the same ,notwithstand-
ing any protest that might be made.

ANOTHER QUESTION.

The manner in which the question of a
monument to the memory of General
Grant has been discussed has not been
the most kindly nor the most re-
spectful that could be; and the same
may be said as to his final rest
ing place. The work that Grant did
belongs to his country, and his history,
for a quarter of century is the history in
great part, of the country, but when he
ceased to be of this world the choice of
his final resting place is question that
may properly belong to his immediate
family. That he was great and public
man does not deprive his family of their
rights, and when General Grant expressed
his mind as to where he would choose
that his grave might be dug, it should put
that question for ever at rest; if the peo-
pie respect his memory they should like
wise respect his wishes.
But there is another question in con-
nection with the burial place of General
Grant, which is that that place shall re-
main safe and inviolate. Modern civil
ization and enlightened Christianity are
not sufficient guaranty against attempts
to rob the graves of distinguished men
that money may be made by restoring
the remains. 1t is four years ago this
coming month since General Garfeld's
remains were conveyed to the cemetery
at Cleveland, and even now military
guard is posted over them. 1t will have
to be the same with Grants remains. 1t
may be said that no such danger exists
and that such crimes are too heinous to
be committed. They are heinous and of
a most revolving nature, but still they ex-
ist. 1t is but few years since the
body of A. T. Stewart was stolen
that the robbers might reap
rich reward for its return. The
family of Stewart never offered the re-
ward, and they did well in not offering
one. 1t would have been an encourage
ment to the robbers of the dead, and what
assurance could the family have had that
the remains returned to them were those
for whom they had love and respect? All
will recall the attempt to violate the
tomb OF Lincoln some years ago, and
which happily miscarried. 1t is possible
that such attempts will be made on the
tomb of Grant, for human ghouls still ex-
ist and sometimes infest Gods acre.

THE WILMOT PROVISO.
A Story of How the Famous Pro.
visO Originated.

The Wilmot proviso, which was des-
tined to play animportant part in politics,
originated at the dinner-table of politi-
cal club in the city of New York, which
met weekly. 1t was composed of Demo
Gratis opposed to the extension of slavery,
and among those present on the days in
question were John Van Buren, Samuel
j. Tilden, John A. Kennedy, Isaac Fowl
er, Andrew II. Green and other we'll
known Free-Soil Democrats. Mr. Howe,
a Western member of Congress,
was a guest, he having visited New
York to confer with the Demo-
cratic opponents of slavery. During the
consultation John Van Buren said that
the protest against the extension of slav-
cry introduced into Congress was not
worded right. He suggested that the
exact words of Jefferson in the famous
ordinance of 1888 and 1887 should be
used. This was agreed to. Mr.. Howe
stated that it would be difficult to intro
duce the proviso as the Speaker would
not give the floor to any one favorable to
freedom. Mr.. Tilden, as the chief organ
izer of the movement about to be made,
proposed that ruse should be PLAYED.
1t was agreed that each man composing
the little body of sixteen or eighteen Free
Sellers in Congress should have copy of
the provso in his pocket. Each should
spring to the floor at the first chance and
shout "Mr. Speaker!'' 1t was thought
that one of them would be recognized.
Mr.. Tilden, with other members of the
club, went to Washington to aid in carry
ing out the plan. At time agreed upon,
the Spartan band, each with the proviso
in his hand, sprang to the floor, and in
concert shouted, "Mr. Speaker!" The
speaker was bewildered. He could not
ignore the whole crowd He selected
Judge Wilmot as the most monerated of
the party, and so the Wilmot privoso
passed into history.

AN EXPERIENCE.

The papers of the Peoples party are
continually talking about the "raids' of
the officers, and especially do they con-
denim any arrest made at night. 1t is a
well known fact that many men in the
country are in hiding for reasons best
known to themselves. If a stranger
enters town, without certified char
acter, it is impossible for him to find
the residence of a person whom
he may wish to see. Only very
recently a we'll known gentleman of
this city, and Mormon, had very pecu-
liar experience in this line He was in
Brigham City and called at the house of
Judge Smith, of that place. He rang the
door bell, which was answered by lady.
He inquired of the lady if Judge Smith
was at home; she answered she didn't
know. He then asked her if he did not
live there, to which question she ans
wered no. He then asked her if Judge
Smith did not live there formerly, and
again received the same automatic ans
wer in reply. Following this, he asked
the lady if she knew where Judge Smith
did reside, and again she didn't know.
1T is very strange" said the gentleman,
'that Judge Smith does not live here, and
that you cannot tell me where he does
live or who occupied this house before
you came into it. Judge Smith used to
live here, and l have been here to visit
him score of times or more" The
gentleman in his disgust could not
refrain from remarking that possibly
the lady had never heard of such per-
son in Brigham City; but to this COM
ment the lady very wisely "declined to
answer" The gentleman left the house,
crossed the street and accoSted an old
friend, and asked him, "Where does
Judge Smith live?" "You have just left
his house," was the reply. $50 1
thought" " said the gentleman, "but the
lady who came to the door said Judge
Smith did not live there, nor did she
know where he did live "Well, YOU
must remember that the people all
through the country ARE terribly fright
ened on account of the enforcement of
the Edmunds law, and they suspect
every stranger they see as Deputy Mar
shal. If you wish to see Judge Smith,
will accompany you" The two re-
crossed the street TO Judge Smiths house,
and during the interval which had
elapsed since the gentleman had quilted
the house five minutes before, memory
had returned to the ladies of the house,
Judge Smith had purchased the property
and moved his entire family into it, and
the strangers who did not know who
lived in the house nor where Judge Smith

AN ALLEGED AMERICAN.

1t is alleged that Louis Riel, the Can
adian rebel, is an American citizen, and
in Massachusetts, petition is being cir
culated by Cochintate parties appealing
to Secretary Bayard to use his influence
in behalf of Riel on the ground that he
is an American citizen. 1t is diff
cult to see why the American Gov
ernment should interfere in behalf of Riel
merely because he is an American
citizen, which is not an established fact
beyond doubt, when he has broken
British laws on British land and has been
fairly tried and found guilty. So long as
Riel, or any one else as for that matter,
chooses to reside on British soil he is
amenable to the laws governing his place
of residence. We are not discussing the
merits of Riel's cause, nor the circum-
stances surrounding him and the
Canadian half-breeds which induced their
rebellion. There may be palliating
circumstances which should appeal to
the mercy of the Dominion authorities,
but of those circumstances it is not the
duty of the Government to take any cog
nizance. If it were alleged that Riel as
an American citizen is being held in Gus
tody by the Dominion authorities with
out any charges against him, that were
publicly known, and that he was denied
a fair trial, there would be cause for the
Government to act. But such is not the
case. Riel arose in rebellion against
the authority of the Canadian Govern
ment; his rebellion was crushed; he was
captured; has been tried, found guilty
and has been condemned. Now, where
is the pretext for interference in behalf
of Riel by the Anne -ieAn Government?
Sympathy is certainly not just cause
for interference, and it is not alleged that

DECISION OF CHARACTER.

Whatever may be Mr.. Clevelands faults,
nobody will be inclined hereafter to raise
question about his decision of character or
his ability to adhere, under pressure, to
determination once formed.-St. Paul Pion-
eer Press.
Such is not only the opinion of the
Pioneer Press, but of the great majority
of the press. The cattlemen in the In
dian Territory found that the President
had decision of character, although their
delegation represented to him that the
monetary interest involved amounted to
$7,00O,O0O; but, like Wordsworth's little
girl, still he answered "nay." Mr.. Cleve-
land is exhibiting the same decision of
character as President that marked
him as Mayor and Governor, but now
it is seen in a higher sphere and
by a larger audience The people of
Utah should take notice of these things,
and they should profit by them. The
people of Utah have thought that the
President would be lenient to them in
their lawlessness. The people of Utah
sent a delegation to Washington to repre-
sent the terrible condition of things here,
and among the most weighty reasons ad-
vanced why the law should not be en-
forced in Utah, for such in substance was
their request although clothed in the
guise Of petition and declaration of
grievances, was that values of all kinds
were being unsettled and property put in
jeopardy. The people forgot that there
were other interests to be considered than
property interests, and that the chief one
in all good governments is the supremacy
of the law and obedience to it by all.

wed, had all gone away whence, no one

lived, had all gone away; whence, no one
knew.
The gentleman remarked that the ter
ror that prevails in the country towns is
something beyond the comprehension of
people who dwell in the city, and that
the terror grows upon them every day.
1t would look as though the enforcement
OF the law might yet accomplish the end
sought. If such terror reigns now, what
will be the state of affairs year hence ?
Let all classes think well on these things.

How sand Dune. are Formed.


Along the shores of Lake Michigan,
as well as along the ocean shores of the
north Atlantic states, observers must
have often been struck by the wonder
full hillocks of sand, evidently gathered
together and held in place by vegeta-
ton. The plant grows. Sand blows in
between the growth and settles there.
again there is a growth, and more sand
is blown in and retained, until we have
a hillock many feet high, limited only
by the capacity Of the plant to grow
above the gathered sand. So far as we
know, these have been the only factors
to which are referred the building up
of thesasand dunes.
In some cases one might suppose that
dry sand, blowing in between branches,
might readily blow out again; but so
far as the records show, such a thought
has not seriously impressed any one, yet
it is clear oil reflection that there are a
number of sea side or lake shore plants
which do not gather sand, though their
ability to gather sand and retain Il
would seem to DO equal to those
which do.
Mr.. F. A. Paley speaks of the ammo
phila arenaria, the we'll known sand
gathering grass of Europe as well as OF
American coasts, in which he records
his observations, conclusively showing a
power to draw up moisture from the
roots to the surface, which is then given
out to the sand. The sand is moistened
several inches away from each stem
(Which, in this grass, he holds to be a
thickened involute leaf. It is this
moistened sand which catches and holds
the drier THAT is blown over onto it.
Thousands of these involute leaves
grow in one spot, each giving forth its
moisture, and adding power to retain
the sand
