Saturday morning arrived In this
city the reputed deer slayers, and as
we went to press that afternoon the
case Of J. J. johnson one OF the trio
was being heard before Judge Peel,
Judge Bettis appeared for the defense
and District Attorney Hyde for the
prosecution. The charges were pre-
ferred by II. L. Post. Mr.. Johnson's
case was made a test, and the eYI-
dence existing was given in. After
hearing the testimony and listening
to the remarks Of the attorneys
Judge Peel decided that the evil
dence was not sufficiently conclusive
to prove Mr.. JohnsOn's guilt and he
was discharged. This let out the
others much to the satisfaction Of
the party.

The Gresham Bill.

There is some curiosity to see what the
sentiment of the Legislature is with re-
gard TO Representative Gresham's bill,
which proposes TO amend the constitution
so as to provide a salary for members Of
the Legislature instead Of a pc diem com
pensation.
The bill is clearly in the interest of
economy. If the members were paid a
salary they would do more work than
they now do, aud they would do it In
much less time.
When the present constitution was
framed it was thought that by providing
for biennial sessions the expenses Of the
Legislature would be greatly reduced
from what they had been. That provision
has not resulted in saving money for
the , State. II is about certain
that future Legislatures will deem it ad-
visable to have session each year. The
/ adjourned session Of the present Legisla-
ture has already extended over longer
| period than the regular session did, and
1t is probable that 1t will last until Oct. /.
We have already pointed out that men,
bers are absent too frequently from their
/ posts OF duty, ana by their absence delay
business. They are paid whether they
are present or absent, and the longer the
session continues the more they draw
from the State.
| The people want their burdens lessened,
and one of the ways to lessen them is to
reduce the cost of legislation. Forty
or fifty days ought to be
time enough in which to make
all the new laws that the State needs.
/ There is altogether too much legislation.
If there were fewer new laws and fewer
changes in the laws, it would be much
better for the people. The Legislature
ought TO give the Gresham bill candid
and careful consideration. If the COM
| pensation 1t provides is too large reduce
it. II IL is, as we believe it TO be, in the
interest of economy, it ought TO be passed.

The Mormon Outrages.

1t is evident that the feeling OF the
Mormons against the government is eX'
tremely hostile. The outrsges perpetrated
on several Of the government officials on
Sunday at Salt Lake City shows pretty
clearly that if they felt themselves strong
enough they would not hesitate moment
about resisting Federal authority.
Since the Democratic party came into
power the Edmunds' law, for the suppress
sion of polYgamy, has been enforced with
great Vigor. Several Mormons of consid-
able prominence have been convicted OF
/ polygamy, and are now serving out their
sentences. The polygamists see what is
in store for them, and hence the attack
on the officers of the Federal court.
Not being strong enough to openly defy
the government, they have apparently de-
termined to make secret warfare on those
intrusted with the duty Of enforcing the
law against polygamy. They hope, doubt
less, to 80 alarm the officers that they will
not discharge their duties with sufficient
VigOr to secure convictions.
The perpetrators of Sundays outrages
are unknown. 1t will be difficult, and
perhaps impossible, to discover them.
They are among friends. Almost the
whole community sympathises with them,
and will protect them.
III the outrages are continued much
more stringent measures will have to be
taken against the polygamists. The Nor
mons will have to be made to understand
that attacks on the government officers
in Utah will not help them in any way.
They ought to be taught at once that the
whole power Of the government will
be employed to hunt down
and punish all who may be guilty of at
tempting to prevent the government Off.
GERS, by any means whatever, from doing
their duty. II the government does not
act promptly there will be condition Of
affairs in Utah that will make it unsafe,
if not impossible. for those who are OPP
posed TO MOrmonism to live there.
Gen. Howard. month or more ago, said
that trouble might soon be expected in
Utah, and recent events indicate that he
was well informed with respect to the con-
dition Of affairs there. He thought, how
ever, that the Mormons would openly defy
the government authorities, and it may
have been their intention to pursue that
course. Their change of policy is due.
doubtless, to the belief that they can &C.
complish more by secret attacks.
1t is certain that either the Mormons
must leave Utah or give up polygamy.
The American people have made up their
minds on that point. There is no party
and no faction that is favorable to letting
the Mormons continue to practice
polygsmy.
The efforts to put stop to pOlygamy
were not as vigorous as they ought to
have been when the Republicans were in
power. President Cleveland, however,
can be depended ON for vigorous action in
the matter.
The leading Mormons themselves begin
to understand that they cannot sustain
their peculiar institution much longer in
Utah, and, it is believed, they are prepar-
ing the way for those who are polyga-
mists to emigrate to Mexico. 1t is safe to
say that nothing will be done to interfere
with such a programme.

Our Poorly Paid ConsuIs.

The complaint is made that our CoDsuls
are not as well paid as they ought to be.
1t is certain that they are not nearly so
well paid as the Consuls OF countries
which have no more foreign commerce
than this country has.
Their poor pay prevents them, In cases
where they depend wholly upon their
offices, from living in manner in keep
Ing with their positions. The Consuls OF
England, France, Germany, and some
other nations, are, in many ports, thought
more of and treated with greater respect
than American COnsuls are, because,
being better paid. they can afford to take
leading part in the social life Of the
cities in which they are located.
There is another and a still stronger
reason why our Consuls should be better
compensated. 1t is that if they are not
fairly well paid their necessities may
induce them to yield to temptation to do
wrong.
There have been great many COM
plants within the last few years about
the differentiation Of imports. 1t may
not always be possible for Consul to
know that goods, the invoices of which
are presented to him for his certificate,
are undervalued, and it may be to his in
terest not TO inquire into the matter very
closely.
Again, vessels leaving an infected port
may want a clean bill Of health. 1t is
said that it is not always impossible to
obtain clean bill from Consul at an
infected port. There is said to be what
sea captains call gold bill Of health.
Vessels from infected ports having clean
bills of health have visited this port.
While the Secretary OF State is giving
the consular service a thorough overhaul
ing would it not be a good thing for him
to do to make thorough inquiry as to the
sufficiency of the compensation Of Con-
suls. If he finds they are not paid as
well as$hey ought to be he ought to 80 in

An Interesting Story Relating to Judge
Thurman

Fton the Neao Orleans Times Democrat
WASHINGTON, Sept. ia story Of a de-
cldediy interesting character is in circulation
mere relative To the effort made last winter
on the part of a number of prominent Demo
Gratis to secure a place in Mr.. Cleveland's
Cabinet for the Hon Allen G. Thurman
Inc leader OF the movement was Hon. Abram
). Hewitt, OF New York, who, occupying
very close relations TO Mr.. Cleveland, felt
authorized to make a visit to Albany for the
express purpose of calling particular atten-
ton to the great abilities and the WIDE
spread personal popularity of the Buckeye
statesman. He acquitted himself of the
friendly task with great deal of eOquence.
and left under the impression that he had
succeeded IN his mission, 1t was not long,
however, before he began to hear stray bits
OF conversation drifting down from Albany
that gave him alarm. Dir. Cleveland was
asking of one person and another for very
minute information about Judge Thurman,
and particularly about his personal habits.
He was reported to be shaking his head
when the name of Judge Thurman was men
toned.
Mr. Hewitt took the train for Albany at
once. "Mr. Cleveland" he inquired, "what
IS this hear about your having thrown my
friend Judge Thurman over. Is it true?"
NO, no; don put 1t In that way, MIR, Hew-
ltt," replied MIR. Cleveland. II have been
asking some questions about Judge Thurman.
and some information has been brought to me
unso lclted. am sorry to hear that Judge
Thurman is much addicted TO brandy, and is
sometimes unified for business on account of
his appetite. Now, if that be true, you see
that l cannot invite him into my
Cabinet. Do you know anything about it?"
Mr.. Hewitt was very much netGled, almost
angry 81 know Judge Thurman intimately
and an ADLER. a better, or Drawer man does not

for any place. At Chicago last summer there
were good many people who wanted to nom
mate him for the presidency. However if
you set up the test you mention you ought not
to allow hearsay to Influence you against
man. Don't YOU think. in order to be certain
about It, you had better put reliable private
detective on Judge Thurman's track, and in
that way ascertain just what his personal
habits are?"
Mr. Hewitt intended this for sarcasm.
Whether Mr.. Cleveland saw this and paid Mr.
Hewitt back IN kind, or whether he inno-
Gently fell INTO the trap, is not known, but he
answered, reflectively:
II was just thinking about that"
Mr.. Hewitt took his hat and left, and has
not asked for anything since.
