THE "HALT' AND THE BLIND.

Again this morning the Herald
shows( p that halt in the judicial pro-
ceedings now going on would be a good
thing, and how no one would be injured
by little "1et up' just now, and the best
argument it advances for a 'let up' is
that it believes that the grand juries I'M
der which so many indictments have been
found, were not regularly and properly
constituted, "and that consequently
their labors as represented in these
indictments are null and void"
They are not until so declared by COM
petent tribunals, and the presumptions
always are that the courts are keeping
within the law rather than overstepping
it. And if these grand juries are held to
be legal, where is the harm in rushing
the thing now? That the Government
has dilly-dallied for twenty years is all
the greater reason for doing so no longer,
and the community will be much better
off when everything is permanently
settled, no matter on what basis the set
tlement is made.
Who are being terrorized "not in the
interests OF justice?" Are they those
citizens whom we see every day on the
streets and who are not afraid to meet
any man, not even a marshal, and who
fear God? Should laws which are valid
and ON the statute books be held in
abeyance that those who have violated
them may not be disturbed in a continu-
ing violation of those laws? If the
laws are wrong, why not call for
their repeal? If the gentlemen
who constitute the committee appointed
at the Logan Conference can make such
truthful representations of matters here
as will cause the President and Cabinet
to suspend the enforcement of the laws
for a while, why are not these same rep
reservations put into the political platform
of their party and made the basis of their
election campaigns in Utah? They
would win to their party many who are
now opposed to it, and who are not OF
their church, either
Does the Herald believe that one man
who has been convicted under the anti
polygamy law was innocent of the crime
of which he was convicted? We do not
ask it whether it thinks the law just and
merciful or unjust and harsh. And will
it explain this statement to the public?
"All the Herald asks is that trials in Utah be
| conducted in accordance with the well under
stood rules, and that defendants here be ac
corded only the rights that the law guarantees
| them?"
Who shall determine what these we'll
understood rules are? The courts which
are created by the same authority that
made the rules or some body of men who
do not like the rules? VIII the Herald
tell when trials are conducted in accord
ance with them, that people may be en-
lightened and not made blind? To ask
people to accept such theories of the law
as these of the Herald is for the blind to
ask the blind to follow.
After all, is not the cry for justice very
like the Irishman's cry for it, when he
said to the judge that it was the very thing
of which he was afraid?

A SMALL REWARD.

The New York San is in quite a rage
because of some reasons which the Bos-
ton Adcertiser prints, and given by some
cabinet officers, why Mr. Pearson was re-
appointed postmaster of New York City,
and the San does not approve of them.
1t was thought that the Sun was coming
around and accepting the result of last
years election with good grace; but it is
otherwise, apparently. Throughout
the campaign there was no paper
more hostile to Cleveland than
the Sun, and since his Inauguration
it has been watching patiently to find
something of which it might complain
and seems to have found it in the reten-
ton of Mr.. Pearson. While the President
may not owe anything specially to such
men as George William Curtis, Carl
Schurz, J. c. Bennett and others, vet in
as much as they were very instrumental
in electing President Cleveland, the
country owes them gratitude at least.
Surely it showed a determination to
adhere firmly to his civil service declara-
tions when Cleveland said that he would
gladly have rendered Mr.. Curtis
an important foreign appoint
ment, but he was compelled
to withhold the tender on account of the
firm but courteous determination of Mr..
Curtis to adhere to his own views. This
reason seems Of the very essence of civil
service reform, whose foundation is fit
ness for the Office; and because the views
of-the President and Mr.. Curtis as to the
of the Office to which ap-
pointment was to be made differed much,
the President did not see fit to ask him
to accept it; although he may have owed
Mr. Curtis much, he recognized that he
owed the country more. 1t was a recog-
milton of the great doctrine that the party
is means, while the good of the whole
country is the end to be sought. 1t was
no more, it was no less.

discussion? Did Athens gain anything

Repressive legislation has the same ef-

darkness that gladdens the earth, and in
political affairs discussion is sunshine.

FEMALE JOCKEYS.
Two Pretty Women Handle the Ribbons Be-
hind Fast TrotterS in q Match.

New BEDFORD, Mass, Sept. 18.-Two pretty
women, wearing jaunty jockey caps and narty
riding suits, stood in the doorway of the stables
at Evergreen Park this afternoon, awaiting the
end of a sharp shower. One was Mrs. Belle
Eaton, of Fall River, and the other Nine. Leigh
ton, OF Marlboro, Mass. They had come each
with a ~favorite trotter to contest for the suprem-
acy and a purse of 5000 to be awarded to the
winner of the three mile heats in five. Nine.
Leighton is a plump brunette of low stature and
buxom form, weighing 1876 pounds. She wore a
dark green bodice and long skirt which, as was
afterward revealed, concealed a pair of loose
trousers. Her horses tail and name, and her
riding whip were decorated with orange ribbons.
Mrs. Eaton has a pretty face, and her slight
form, weighing less than one hundred pounds,
was clad in a loose gray suit, which concealed its
possible deficiencies. She wore g yellow rose at
her heart. and her horse was gaily decked with
red, white and blue ribbons. Neither of the
women was under thirty-ive.

The track In a frightful condition. The race
was called, however, in spite of the muddy pud-
oIes. Both OF the women mounted their sulkies
men-fashioned, put their feet under the toe-straps
on either shaft, pinned back their skirts in
front to get them out of the way, and were
ready for the word. In the first heat Leighton
took the lead, and kept it to the end, winning
by ten lengths in 2:46. Her horse ran for an
eighth Of a mile, however, and the Judges de-
cided it a dead heat. The second heat ended in
a catastrophe. Eaton was ahead, when, just as
the horses were entering the backstretch, the
strap under Leighton's right foot broke. and she
took a beautiful header away off the track. Her
horse ran and her sulky was broken. She came
up smiling. but was unable to come to time for
the next heat. Eaton finished in 2:49, and was
given the race and money.

where there is good pay and not much to do. On
the contrary, what l desire is work, and | am
