MISSED THE POINT.

In every question there is point to
seize which is to determine the question.
The News OF last evening discussed at
length the grand jury matter, but it missed
the point. The point in the grand
jury matter was not whether certain men
should be re-indicted and whether the
grand jury could be packed so as to ac-
complish such re-indictment, but was
whether or not the power to say what
was the law and what was not, apper-
tained to the grand jury or the Judge.
That was the main point. The other was
whether the Judge had power to remove
three jurors who refused to ac-
cept his Interpretation of the law
as being incompetent and issue
an open renire to fill their places after
they had been removed as incompetent.
The three grand Jurors undertook to say
what was the law in defiance OF the con-
struction OF the Judge, and they were so
indiscreet as to openly claim that right if
their object was to prevent the re-indict-
ment OF certain men. Had they chosen
to rely upon their right to decide whether
or not the evidence was sufficient to war
rant the finding OF an Indictment, no per-
son on earth could have compelled them
to bring such Indictment. 1t was folly for
them to assume to say what the law was
or was not, but it was the greatest indis-
cretion in the world for them to assign
the reason they did for their non-action.
Truly, discretion is the better part
OF valor. The grand jury dis
charge certain functions in the
administration of justice, and in some
of the States their functions are dis.
charged by the Prosecuting Attorney
Would any one assume to say that the
Prosecuting Attorney can bring an infor-
nation regardless of the Courts interpre,
tation OF the law? The chief point in the
grand jury matter was to whom belonged
the right to construe law, the Court ol
the grand jury? Common sense and the
authorities say to the Court.

GOD Is ON OUR SIDE. {"
A morning sheet says:

morning sheet says:
1--WE have still an abundance of faith that
God is on our side and that the day will
come when Utah will be redeemed, regener-
ated and disenthralled.'
1t is strange how often God is intro
duced into the Utah drama. In the
Utah play he seems to perform about
the same part that the chorus did
in the Greek drama. When there was
nothing else on the stage the
chorus came on to fill up and
bridge a long wait. The modern
drama has improved on this part OF the
play for there is more Of mechanism in
such an arrangement than OF art. How
is it that it is sacrilege and superstition
for the Mormon people to invoke the
name of the Diety in sanction OF their Pc
culiar religious rites, and that the same
invocation on the part of those who are
opposed to them is pure Christianity and
patriotism? After all, can it be that poly
theism is the true doctrine? Who may say
upon which side God is ii God himself
does not? Is God n being TO be cajoled
and hattered, bullied and beat, the tool
and puppet OF mems desires? To say
that he is such is to insult the intelli-
gence of man and commit sacrilege if
that heavenly being rule DER the desti.
nies of man and this world, IL
there any more proof that God is
ON the side OF the sheet referred to
than that he is upon the side OF the
NeWs! Certainly not. The question in
Utah is one OF everyday and human ex-
perience; it is the question OF Il very ex-
tensive disobedience to the laws and how
to enforce obedience. There is just as
much evidence that God inspired the re-
velation commanding the Mormons to
practice polygamy as that he is on the
side of the ''journal which holds the fore
most position among newspapers for Il
thousand miles in either direction" 1t
is the confusion in mems minds regarding
their duty towards the wished-for world
to come which makes them see but dimly
their duty towards the laws OF their
country in this world. One religious sect
has just as much right to say that they
are the chosen people as another, and to
say that the God Of Abraham, Isaac and
Jacob is especially their God. Such
things are merely claims and counter
claims which never have been and never
will be settled. 1t don't make Bit of
difference as TO whose side God is on in
the settlement of the Utah problem, the
question of the hour and the real live
issue is, who is in favor Of the enforce
ment of the laws Of the land and the
punishment OF those who violate them,
and who is not?

CRIMINAL CARELEssNEss.

The season of accidents has returned.
A special to the DEMOCRAT last evening
announced the sad intelligence that
young man, Soren Christensen by name,
had been shot dead while out deer hunt
ing with couple OF young men. 1t was
the same story that is always told in
such cases. Anxious and excited, eagerly
expecting the appearance OF game,
young man hears rustling in the brush
and supposes it is deer. He fires, and
hearing no sound thinks he has bagged
his game and runs with joy
in his heart and bounding life
in his limbs TO see the result Of his lucky
shot, and the sight which greets him is
his dead companion, killed by his hand.
That it was accidental, and that sorrow
and regret will always haunt the one who
fired such fatal shot, does nothing to
restore the life that is gone, and that can
never be restored to earth. Sorrow
invades two families, and while from one
there has gone a well-leved one, the
shadow of death is ever lowering over
the other. And all this comes from
criminal carelessness. That these cases
OF death at the hands OF friend while
out hunting are accidental and regretted
for lifetime, makes no difference in
the actual result. A death has
been caused by criminal carelessness.
When out hunting with companions no
man has any right TO fire at an unknown
often cause the loss OF game, but such
precaution will always avoid the accidental
killing of friend. When parties 90 out
hunting together there should be Il
mutual understanding that no one shall
discharge his gun at any object the nature
OF which is not absolutely known. In the
hunting of deer in the fall hunters usually
don grey clothes as being more inconspicu-
GUS than any other color and more nearly
like the color OF deer at this season and
the trees which are denuded of their foil
age. A man who will fire at o moving
object not knowing what it is is not
fit to handle fire arms, and especi-
ally is this the case when
he is out with others. Last year there
were nearly half dozen just such acci'
dents as this one reported from Moroni,
and there was not one but
that could have been avoided
had caution been used. Parents
cannot too strongly impress upon theil
sons the necessity OF the utmost care and
caution in the handling of firearms, and
that such care and caution must not be
laid aside for one moment That gur
is dangerous without lock, stock or barre
is good rule to be guided by.

SUCH A DREADFUL sEA.DOG.
The Cherished Pilot of Fiction
smashed by Facts Hard Fist.

Among the glaring frauds is the pilot OF
fiction. The general impression of this
article is salt-soaked citizen with a hot
nose, long neck for grog, voice with
variations like n bass viol, ou'wester,
short black pipe, shawl around his neck,
select vocabulary OF profanity and
generally damp air combined with
bow legged swagger. "Lutf,
you lubber," and "lIold her steady
to port, my hearty" are the words of
wisdom that fall from his lips before he
"tumbles" into his boat over the side OF
the vessel with e-breaking reckless
ness. He can tell when, TO a certainty
of ten feet, just where his vessel is in u
fog that would make land lubber turn
pale. He is painted as the terror OF
everybody aboard ship, from captain to
cook He could, in an emergency, chew
glass as easily as tobacco, while to his
grog capacity there is practically no
limit.
The reality on the North River, New
York, and the Clyde, knocks the under
pinning from this idea of yellow-back
literature, and in fact of works of higher
grade in the book world. The New York
pilot is an elderly dude in white plug hat
and patent leather CATERS.
His clothing is OF the latest cut, his
linen is irreproachable, and he never
raises his voice above conversational
tone. Standing beside the captain and
first officer on the bridge rs the steamer
heads toward Sandy Hook, he says a
word and the order is sent back TO the
wheelhouse by electricity. The simple
pressure OF the thumb on an ivory button
does the work. Instead OF the traditional
rum and water in the captains cabin,
when about to leave the ship, he lubri-
Gates his palate with small bottle ol
Mumm's or Piper lleidsieck. He smokes,
but it is Henry Clay. AS he gingerly
clambered over the rail into the waiting
yawl, nineteen OF the passengers held
their breath for fear he would crush his
cuffs or damage his light pantaloons in
the descent.
"Thanks that was done nicely. That
cursed Frenchman yesterday made me
bark my shins," was his parting words
as he waved white hand in farewell
from the little boat. On the Clyde the
pilot wears Scotch cap which alone
distinguishes him in makeup and manner
from his transatlantic brother. Gldsgou

WHAT'S COMING?

The resignation of Mr.. Dickson and his
assistant, Mr.. Narian, has given rise to
some hope, some disappointment, and
much conjecture. Those who have been
violating the Edmunds law have had
hope renewed within their hearts on ac-
count OF the resignation OF Mr.. Dickson
and his assistant, while those who have
seen determined and successful en-
forcement of the Edmunds law for the
past year are disappointed on account oil
the resignation of Mr.. Dickson, fearing
lest so competent u man may not sue
ceed him. This fear arises from the fact
that all Mr.. Dicksons predecessors were
far his inferior for one reason or another,
and that his successors may also be his
interiors. To say that no one could fill Mr..
Dicksons place so well as he has would be
extreme folly, but will it be so well filled,
is the question lie enforced the law
rigidly and honestly; but he did far more.
He showed that the law could be en-
forced, and he has created standard OF
excellence for the District Attorneyship
that public sentiment will not allow to be
lowered. The next District Attorney for
Utah will be more closely watched by the
nation than ever one was before. From
this alone the public here who are inter-
ested in the enforcement OF the Edmunds
for which it was enacted, take hope. 1t
is certain that Mr.. Cleveland fully appre-
ciates the difficulty in the way of an en-
forcement OF the laws in Utah. and that
with such an appreciation he will give to
Utah District Attorney fully equal to
the task to be performed. Things have
reached that stage in Utah when there
should be final settlement of this
ever-disturbing question of the ell
forcement of the laws and the
suppression of polygamy. 1t should
be remembered by all that in the
settlement OF this Utah problem it will
necessarily take a very considerable time
no matter by what particular method the
final settlement may be reached. That
such settlement rs is desired by the
Government can be had is certain, but
in its accomplishment there must be nc
hesitation, no haste, but the steady and
constant vindication OF the laws. 1t is
the steady, never ceasing enforcement o
any and all laws that begets respect fol
the laws. The spasmodic efforts hereto
fore made to enforce the laws have beer
detrimental to the laws and to the mate
rial welfare Of the Territory. Spasmodit
efforts should be thing OF the past
while the continual enforcement of the
law against all violations should be the
policy of the future, and for such viola
tors there should never be season o
rest. Now or never should the Utal
problem be settled, and with the Govern
ment alone is the decision upon this ques
ton. 1t can have its own way now if i
but chooses to assert its authority ant
compel obedience to its laws. The strife
in Utah should cease either by the vindi
cation of the laws, or by the repeal OF tn,
laws which cause the strife.

Wanted-A Fortune.

Several hundred members of the
Zecbman family in Berks county are
excited oyer the information that q
fortune of $2O,OOO,OOO is awaiting
them in Switzerland. They are now
advertising for the recovery of the
missing family Bible, which alone is
needed to establish the claim of evi
dence TO secure the fortune. The fam.
lily say that the last man who had it
was Fred. Meyer, who when last heard
from resided near Williamsport but
he cannot new be found.
This is the old, old story. A for.
tune of millions in Europe somewhere,
a family gathering to take steps to Sc
cure it, the assessment of few thous.
and dollars to pay an agents expenses
to 60 over and investigate, the agent
goes over, investigates, comes home,
reports progress, pretty soon has to go
over again, more money wanted, an
other assessment, agent takes arother
trip, and so on indefinitely until Just as
he has everything in shape to secure
the fortune, the family Bible is missing,
a link in the chain is gone, and the
dupes who have been putting their
hands in their pockets and paying out
their money with the hopes of sudden,
ly enriching themselves are no nearer
the possession of the fortune than when
they first started. Fortunes in Europe
belong to which American heirs are not
lying around loose, and they are fool
ish who bother their heads and empty
their pocket books in the indulgence of
such vain hopes.

to believing that another rebellion is

jubilee Of peace and good will.
"For many years the platforms Of
the Republican party have rung out
for economy and purity of public SER

support of every thinking American
citizen irrespective of party in what he
is doing. Holding the views I do, I
must most emphatically decline to
march in the so-called Republican pro-
cesslon this fall I cannot obey the
commands of such leaders, and shall
strenously resist every effort they may
put forth to subvert good government
and exalt themselves at the expense

This is pretty good Democratic talk

have sounded better, however, had it
come last fall instead of this. 1t looks
as though such officials were in favor
of revenue for office only.

The Ohio Platform,


The Ohio Democrats have adopted a
sensible, practicable platform. 1t starts
with proposition which will meet gen.
eral approval and which is strong in its
simple truthfulness. The country ia
congratulated on tie election Of Mr.
Cleveland because his Administration
has "already dispelled the illusion that
Democratic success is inconsistent with
the business interests of the country or
perilous to the rights OF the freedmen"
If nothing else had been accomplish
ed by the election of Democratic
President, the simple fact that it has
demonstrated that the Government can
be intrusted with safety and honor to
the party which has for twenty-five
years been denounced as unfaithful to
the Constitution, defiant of the laws
and incapable of an honest and intelligent
administration of public affairs, would
be amply sufficient recompense for
more blunders than have been commit
ted since President Cleveland's inaugu.
ration. The pretense that party en-
bracing half the people of the United
States is dishonest, disloyal and incapa-
BILE can no longer impose on the most
credulous or prejudiced citizen. 1t has
been shown that the Democracy can
not only govern but can govern honor
ably, honestly and benefcially TO all
the interests of the country, and this
gives strength and permanency to our
institutions. 1t has been shown that
the Southern people are as true to the
Constitution and as jealous of the hon.
or and integrity of the Union as it is
possible for any Northerners to be, and
this kills forever the sectional issue
which Republican politicians are en-
deavoring to revive. even over the
grave of Gen. Grant.
The Ohio platform is sound OH the
questions of the public lands, of sump-
tuary Legislation, of prohibition, of the
encroachments of Monopolles and of
economy and decreased taxation. Its
local planks are best illustrated by the
good State Government it has given
the people, and the party starts, it is
believed at home, with good chance
