THE IDAHoANs' PROTEST.

The people of Bear Lake county,
Idaho, have been holding a mass meet
ing in Paris, in which they set forth
their grievances, and formulated pc
tition to the Federal government for re-
lief 1t is difficult to imagine that a
worse outrage could be inflicted on
a community by a civilized state than
has been imposedupon the MormOns by
the Idaho Legislature and the Federal
courts in that Territory. They have been
disfranchised, deprived of the right to
hold office, vote and sit on juries, and
reduced TO the condition and status OF
aliens, through no wrongdoing on their
part; so far as the Legislature and the
courts have been able to accomplish
it, Southern Idaho has been de-
prived of government, and forced into
the position of mob rule. Especially is
this true of Bear Lake county, where in
population numbering several
thousands there are not enough people
eligible under the law to fill the offices
and carry on the administration OF civil
affairs. Fortunately the people are
quiet and law-ahiding, having small
occasion for courts and laws: were
they turbulent, quarrelsome and given to
making trouble, there would be actual
anarchy in Bear Lake tod y. and no
lawful authority (if we accept the test
oath act as binding) TO check the dis
order. There cannot be courts. for
should the judges permit men to serve
as jurors, they would have TO violate the
law, and the jurymen would be liable
to prosecution for perjury; the courts
have held that the civil officers are
wrorgfully holding on. and prosecu-
tons are pending against some of the
officials.
Under the circumstances the mass
meeting to protest against the anomal-
Gus and distressing condition of things
was about the only proceed ing left to
the people that they could do lawfully.
1t is not certain that for uttering their
protest they will not be charged with
disloyalty and rebellion: and it may be
that the Grand Army of the Republic
will resolve to suppress any such
seditious demonstrations in future.

The MONEY that the government will
have to pay the Marshal, District At
torney and their pet Commissioner, in
the unlawful cohabitation on Tuesday
will be much unnecessarily taken from
the national treasury, as the witnesses
might as well have been sent before the
grand jury as to the Commissioner. The
preliminary examination was utterly
useless. but then if it had not been held
the fee fiend trio would not have
pocketed the few dollars that they will
charge the government for their un-
necessary services.

THE LATE Joseph w. Torrey, of Bos-
ton. had lived happily with his wife and
family, but he evidently did not have
the confidence in the lasting quality of
his wife's affections that heshould have
had to make life enjoyable When he
died the following peculiar provision
was found in his will: 81 desire that
none ofmy family will make any parade
over my funeral or waste any money in
the purchase of mourning apparel, fully
believing, from observation. that
widows weeds are too. frequently a
badge of hypocrisy, and the more con-
spicuous the habiliments of woe the
more marked the insincerity."

knows that its own villainy is respon
sible for the ridiculous excitement over

the oath, which hasere now rippled from
Maine to Texas and from Florida to
Oregon. The Tribune is consistent only
in hypocrisy and anti Mormon opposi-
ton. 1t seems to think anything is iair
if directed against the Mormons. and il
does not hesitate 10 employ any means
however vile, to effect its scoundrelly
purpose.

mons are going to do something terrible
on the 9th, and upon this bald as
sertion-oh, wonderful credulity of a
wonderful nation the United States
army is told to be ready to proceed to
Utah to crush out the rebellion. True
to itself, but false to everything truth
full, the Tribune then comes out with the
saving subjunctive: If the Mormons
don't rebel, it will be because the pro-
gramme has been changed, and because
the brave little Tribune has sounded the |
warning and quelled the outbreak in
its incipiency.
That is what the Tribune is saying |

that it has again in its blind rage over
