1t will be remembered by the inhab-
itantS Of this section and by no one
longer than myself, that about the goth
Of last May our lands were flooded by
higher and swiftcr waters than was ever
known to flow along the now innocent
looking stream of Broad river, not only
was the crops, the fencing, and much Of
the live stock OF our neighborhood
swept away, but our lands rendered un-
tit for rrplanting this year, and in many
places running them forever. Eight
days later we had Il most terrific hail
storm, completely destroying the re-
mainder of our crops, and damaging the
lands to such an extent rs to place the
people, III an almost helpless condition.
Mastering up courage through tho con-
tinuOus rains, in the mud and grass, the
crops were rcplantcu-taking OH more
courage, tho battle for Il crop was fought
brarcly, manfully, but, the unfavorablc
season has caused us to lose the prize
we were striving FORA fair crop. The
crop is failure. Some Of our farmers
will not average one bale Of cotton to
the plow and little or no corn.
This may seem little exaggerated to
the reader who did not meet with the
misfortune OF having their first planting
destroyed, but with us it is only too
true, and our people arc certainly in Il
dcrlorablr condition. Not only has the
money been exhausted with the crops
but the credit Of this section is gone with
il and VIC begin to fear that the worst
has not come yet. We have divided
almost the last with our laborcrs, the
negro looking forward with anxious
hearts TO Christmas, rs IL time to rest
OF these pests for awhile. But when we
think Of their being turned away with
out money or the necessities Of life, VIC
arc at 4 loss, and can only cXclam, what
are we to do? while the echo answers

bv United States commissioner bound
over for trial on the charge
of unlawful cohabitation. Between
the time of the commitment
and the meeting of the Grand Jury the
accused was taken before Chief Justice
Zane, on writ of habeas corpus; when
the Judge, in order to find pretext Tor
releasing the prisoner. cid what Ed
munds knows would not be done by
judge in Vermont-he went behind the
papers in the case, and ascertaining that
the man was not married to the woman
he had debauched held that he could
not be guilty of unlawful cohabitation
with her, and therefore discharged him.
Ii this is not discrimination in favor of
Gentiles, then will Senator Edmunds say
what it is? If Chief Justice Zane's con-
struction of the law does not sustain
Senator Browns assertion than it would
be impossible to prove any declara
ton correct. Does Senator Edmunds
think that Zane should be
Impeached, or does ne uphoIu
and applaud him in his partisan course?
Would the distinguished Vermonter
howl himself .hoarse against sugges-
ito that Zane be removed, or would he
approve proposition that a "bet,er
Judge" be sent here.
The fact is, Edmunds framed his bill |
On the same plan that the old sport

sired a weapon that would hit the

THE POLL TAX.

Councillor Sharp's bill providing FOL
the expenditure OF the poll tax collected
from residents in cities for the improve
ment of the roads in the cities, is very
good so far as it goes itisln the interest
of justice and right, but far better and
more popular bill would be one to
abolish the poll-tax. 1t is an unequal
and therefore unjust if not unlawful
tax, and should be discontinued. If a
man be so poor that he owns no taxable
property, he ought not to be required to
pay three dollars a year to the COM
munity. 1t SO happens that the manner
in which the law is necessarily applied
makes it in point of fact property
tax, for it is only from men possessing
property that the money can be COL
lected, all others being able to defy the
collectors and sneer at the notices to
labor sent them by the supervisors. |
Being a property tax it is unequal. in
that the poor fellow who owns only
bed, stove and half a dozen
chairs, who works for dollar
a day, and who is neither
benefited nor injured by good roads or
bad, is required to pay as much as the
man of millions, whose horses, carri-
ages and wagons are to enjoy the bene-
fits of the tax. Many poor but /
honest men find the poll-tax heavy
burden, and it is an act of oppression i
o take the money or the two days Z
abor from them. If the tax must be 7
ontinued, by all means let the people +
Tho pay it enjoy the fruits of their I
noney by expendjng the latter in the t
istricts where it is collected, but the {
will do a good and just $
hing by repeating the laws providing E
or the collection of this unpopular tax. :

AS IT PASSED.

The Ed1nunds bill, as it passed the
Senate, was practically the same a,
when introduced, and as published in
The HERALD in December. Such
amendments as were made were gener.
ally improvements. There is no change
down to the fourth section, when the
record or acertified copy of the mar
riage certificate provided for in that
section is, with the certificate Itself
made prfmG facie evidence of the facts
in any civil or criminal proceeding. Tha
next change is In Section 13, in regard
to the confiscation and sale of church
property in excess of 5000 The
original bill forfeited all such property
except 'Sbuildings held and occupied ex-
-clusively for religious worship" sheIbiIl
as passed exempts also the grounds
apportionate to such buildings, which
latter must be used for ''the worship of

new section, and is made section 20 of
the bill: q f,a}

PUT HIS FOOT IN 1T.

Governor Murray, in his scoldin
screed to the Legislature on the openin
of the session the other day, said, unde
the head of "our reciprocal duty" that
Those who engage to say that Congress
having undertaken to legislate upo1
certain subjects, relieves you OF an!
obligations to legislate upon them anc
like subjects, are mistaken. The argu
ment is specious, and as dangerous as
it is fallacious." The editor who wrote
this for the Governor deceived His Elk.
cellency, and the latter was too stupid
to discover the fact. Congress having
legislated on subject not only relieves
the Legislature from any obligation to
legisiate on the same subject, but makes
it foolishness for the local assembly to
do so. We will illustrate, trusting that
His Excellency will read it early in the
morning, as if there is any time in the
twenty-four hours that he has the con.
troll over his faculties it will be then:
Congress has legislated on the
subject of polygamy and unlawful
cohabitation, and named penalties
to be applied to those guilty of the of
lenses; now, for the Legislature to
make laws on the same subject would
be ridiculous, and cause it to become
the laughing stock of Congress, lawyers
and the public. If Murray were correct,
the Assembly could legislate on the
subject, and its laws would be of force,
but as matter of fact what would be
the case? Even Murray-unless it were
late in the day-would hardly claim
that the Legislature could make poly
gamy or unlawful cohabitation less or
more of crime than it has been de-
clared by Congress; the local law
makers can make the penalty neither
greater nor less than it is, and can in no
manner change the Congressional |
statute. His ExceHency will assuredly
not deny the correctness of the above.
1t being admitted that the Territorial
Assembly cannot in the least de
gree change the Congressional /
act, perhaps the Governor will say the
Assembly can re-enact the law of Con-
yress, which would be a doubtful pro-
position; but suppose the Legislature
could and should copy tie Edmunds
aw, and declare it Territorial statute,
would osecutlons be conducted under
he local or the United States law? No
attorney would lay a COM
'laint under the Territorial act. and no
Judge would entertain a complaint laid
lnder that act.
1t may be cheaper and more agree
bile to the Governor to have his mes
ages written by a fanatic editor than

CROwDING THE MONOPOLY.

And now comes the welcome an
nouncement that Secretary Lamar has
informed the Attorney-General that
suit should be brought by the United
States to test the validity of the Bell
telephone PATENT During the proceed
ings that have been held before the
Secretary of the Interior, it was pretty
clearly demonstrated that the Bell
patent was obtained by fraud, official
irregularity if not crookednesss, and by
sharp practice; it now remains to have
the same showing made in a court of
justice, when the patent will be vacated,
and the grasping monopoly broken.
Through its roguery IN obtaining the
patent the Bell Company has been able
to give full swing to its greed, and has
taken millions of dollars from the
people. In the proceedings that have
been instituted to void its patent, it has
no sympathizers outside of its stock
holders, everybody earnestly hoping that
it will be defeated, and its grasping
come to an end. If it had been content
with reasonable gains, the public would
have regretted any steps looking to the
injury of the concern, but the fact that
t insists upon getting 600 or zoe per
cent. profit annually on the capital In
7ested, to say nothing of its outrageous
oyalty, has caused the people to hope |
hat the greedy crew will be ground out |

IS EDMUNDS IGNORANT OR DE-
CEITFUL {?


IN the course of the debate in the
Senate on the Edmunds bill, it will b,
remembered that Senator Brown intro
duced an amendment declaring that the
sections in regard to adultery and for.
nication should apply to Gentiles as
well as to Mormons, which was yigor-
ously fought by Edmunds and de-
deated. The debate on thisshatter was
interesting, though the Associated
Press failed to report it in full. Brown
charged-and truthfully-that the Ed
munds law had been made to apply to
Mormons only, by the Federal courts
in this Territory. which allegation Ed
munds denied with as much earnestness
as i he had not known at the time that
be was asserting and defending a
brazen untruth. a few passages at this
point are worth quoting.
Mr.. BRowN-I will ask The Senator
from Vermont whether there was not
ruling there lin Utah to the effect that
the term unlawful Capitalization" did
not apply to Gentle2 F
Nh. EDMUNDs-I have not heard of
any such ruling, and do not believe
any such ruling wa ever made, because
il would be perfectly preposterous.
Mr.. Brown have seen it stated ia
several newspapers of good standing,
and have a strong reason to believe
that such ruling was made by a court

II ought to be suspended.
Mr.. BRoHN-T want to guard against
any possible misconstruction.
Mr.. EDMUNDs-Do not put such a
thing in statute of the United States.
Mr.. BBoWN-I think the amendment
ought to be made for the reason that l
believe the law has been misconstrued
by judges, and l think the language
ought 10 be made very plain.
Mr.. EDMUHDs-We will get some
better judges there. -
We do not believe it would surprise
Senator Edmunds were he to receive
positive proof that what he publicly de-
MED had been done, had actually trans
pred; in other words, we believe that
he knew the law which bears his name
had been construed so as to exclude
Gentiles from its operation. and that he
denied it for the purpose of deceiying
the Senate and preventing an amend |
ment which would bring non-Mor
mons within the operation of the
act. To say that he did not know the
fact, was to declare himself ignorant of
what has been asserted by nine-tenths
Of the American newspapers, and is
matter of record IN the courts here.
