ment. and in the next breath 1t declares
that it only meant to show how they
might easily rob the country. This Is
somewhat after the method OF Mr.. Fagin,
who kept a school for the instruction Of

eminent officials, after this lesson in the
Bulletin" do not make fact Of a sug-
gestion it is because they have stronger
perception of right and wrong than our
contemporary gives them credit for. II
the things alleged or suggested have
happened let the Bulletin" come out
manfully with names, dates and trans
actions; if it does not do that let it apollo
gise to the Government officials as a
body, and to the public at large whose
confidence it has abused in this matter.
One word in conclusion. The aliega-
ton Oy the ADVERTISER that the great
party of moral ideas" which opposes an
opium license is not wholly disinter
ested IN Its policy, Is an en-
tirely different affair from the
specific charge against Government
officials who purchase supplies and let
contracts. We spoke OF matter OF pub
lie notoriety, and upon which we cannot
help thinking our contemporary is toler-
ably well informed If not, it knows
that in the opium traffic the ''end men"
| only are liable to capture and punish
ment those whose money is invested
| take good care to keep under cover. We
hold now, as we have always held, that
the only way to stop the illicit traffic in
| opium, which has attained to very large
proportions, is to license the sale OF that
drug, and constitute the icensee the
! special agent of the Government for
the suppression of unlicensed dealing in
it. Whether the Legislature is prepared
to pass an opium license bill is another
! question. 1t would add largely to the
revenue, stop smuggling and not increase
| consumption.

The Power of Silence.

The defensive power of silence is per-
haps the one we observe least carefully,
because it is the subtlest. In the friction
and passion and function Of daily life,
what a weapon is mute! You find
fault with the coffee, the weather, the
furnace, the baby. Your little jet of
ill-nature splutters up into the sur
charged air OF tired household,
like match on the edge of a
gasoline tank. You expect--and deserve
AN explosion. Suppose none follows ?
The spark flares, goes out without a
sizzle, followed by blankness which
gives you the sense of having made an
intellectual fiasco. You are met by sweet
or stinging silence, as tine case may be.
Her eyes give you one blessed or bitter
look but her lips betray her not. No
body "answers back"
You are left beating the air with an
idle blade. You are Inundated, like a
man whose challenge is unaccepted
through scorn. Your modification is her
victory--divinely noble or humanity
mean, as chances the spirit behind it.
She is silent through gentleness OF
through spite. Either beats. In the one
case you are ashamed of yourself; in the
other you would not much mind being
ashamed of her-but in either she has
struck you with thrust which you car
not parry. You go down before the in
visible third in the visible duel; the
strong spiritual force which consists il
not saying it.-Elizabeh Stuart Phelps

SECRECY IN THE SENATE.

Under the above heading the Chicago
Herald Of the 26th makes the following
excellent observations:
In the earlier days of the Republic under
the Constitution the Senate was inclined to
do much of its business behind closed DOORS
but the sentiment of the country did not ap-
prove survival of English Parliamentary
exciusiveness, and the only remnant of the
custom remaining is that which closes the
doors on what are called executive sessions
These are for the consideration of treaties
and of Presidential nominations, the latter
of course, being much the more numerous.
Having long term, and, generally, long
purse; clothed by the Constitution with i'm
portant functions not appertaining to the
popular branch ofCongress, elected not imme-
diately by the people, and enjoying without
meriting, except in rare cases, a conspicuity
which gives greater dignity to n Senator
than to Congressman, Senators of the
United States are inclined to look upon
themselves as very superior persons. Those
of them who are not fitted to Join in debate
would gladly have the galleries closed to
the public, but it is not alone these who are
exclusive in their office. A sentiment of caste,
a feeling of aristocracy, induces Senators to
regard the body in which they serve as very
remote from the people. These have re-
sisted repeated demands that under no cir
cumstances shall the Senate close its doors
upon the public. The demand has its foun-
dation in the feeling of the people that they
are masters and that these servants of theirs
have no right to conceal from them any of
their official doings. The argument for
seoresy is the necessity of free inquiry into
the character of nominees and an embar-
rassed debate thereon. But no man who ap-
peals to the Executive to give him position
in the public service whose character will
not bear investigation has any right to COM
plain if inquiry discloses to the public his
dark side; and the public, who pays the cost,
is certainly entitled to know how far the
Executives selection of officers bears the
search of inquisitors in the Senate 1t
ought to know also, if it wishes, upon what
ground the Senate refuses to advise and
consent to nomination. The doors, there.
| fore ought to be thrown open upon all occa-
sions, and the Senators, who after all, are
nothing more than hired men, should be
compelled to say their say in the presence
of the people.
Time was when the British Parliament
held its sessions in secret. There were no
| spectators, no reporters, and the Commons,
drawn from relatively small body of the
people, never dreamed that the people had
| right tc know the processes as well as the
results of their legislation. But Parliament,
though it admits few spectators, would not
| in this age dare to put the seal of secrecy
upon its proceedings. The Senate of the
! United States would do well to abolish a
custom which assumes that the people of a
republic are not to be trusted with knowl-
edge of the doings of their representatives

In New Mexico an agent OF ranch
man paid his semi-annual visit to dis
tant grazing ground only to find the sheep
herder dead and the sheep quietly feed
ing in fertile canyon near by, jealously
guarded by his dog. In the rear OF the
corral, into which the sheep were driven
every night, lay the bleaching skeletons
of dozen or more sheep. Astonished at
the sagacity of the dog, the ranchman
secreted himself and waited until night.
AS the sun began to sink the sheep came
trooping in, with the dog in the rear.
They crowded into the corral through a
narrow opening, and as the last one
pushed forward the dog seized and killed
him, and dragged the lifeless body to the
rear of the corral, where he made COM
Portable supper off a portion OF the car
cass, leaving the balance for future meals.
He had been doing this ever since the
death OF his master, and would probably
have continued his guardianship over
the flock until he died.

SOLVE THE PROBLEM AT HOME.

Utah is always theme at home
and abroad, and it is cons tant
theme because OF the local problem. This
problem is the complete eXtirpation OF
polygamy. That which makes the solu-
ton SO difficult is the fact that the prac-
tice is very general throughout the Terri
tory, and also because those Mormons
who do not practice polygamy give their
assent and encouragement to its practice.
Doubtless there are some fanatics who
are OF the opinion that the Govern
ment cannot suppress polygamy, and
the very desultory manner in which the
Government has gone about the enforce
ment OF its laws gives more or less ground
for such belief. The laws for the sup
preston OF polygamy have not always
been adequate to the task undertaken.
But this is not all. Many OF the officers
of the Government whose duty it was to
enforce the laws, had made but spasmod-
ic efforts to enforce the law, and even
those efforts had been anything but en-
ergetic. 1t remained for Mr.. Dickson 10
show what could be done. As a de-
tense to the manner in which for
mer Prosecuting Attorneys have not
enforced the law, it is said that
the law, until the passage of the
Edmunds law IN 1882, was wholly inade-
auate to the question to be dealt with.
We think better and truer excuse would
have been to have said that the Prose-
cutting Attorneys were unequal to the law

already on the statute book Our former
Prosecuting Attorneys were always de-
.manding the passage of this law or that
law to aid them. So much was this the
case that it recalls the early history OF
Michigan as related by Farmer. He tells
how the Judges when they became puz-
zled as to what law meant, or they
doubted whether it reached particular
case, would change their court into
a Legislative Chamber and enact law
that they could understand, but which
nobody else could. Their ignorance
was the great cause of all their trouble.
So it has been with many OF the Judges
and Prosecuting Attorneys Of Utah. But
notwithstanding all this, there is need OF
additional legislation to settle the ques-
ton of polygamy in Utah. Congress
never has known, never can know, one
hall SO we'll the true situation in Utah as
the Territorial Legislature does. The want
such knowledge on the part OF Congress OF
causes Congress to enact legislation that
overshoots the mark in one place and
falls far short of itin another. The Legis-
lature, had they the disposition to act,
would not make these errors. The Legis-
lature may say that Congress has legis-
lated on the question of polygamy and by
80 doing has taken the matter out
of the hands of the local law
making power. For the sake OF argu-
ment let this be granted, but the question
Immediately arises, why did Congress
legislate on the matter? Merely because
the Territorial Legislature refused to.
That is the reason and that alone. If the
Legislature, by its non-action in this
matter, compels Congress to act, have
the people of Utah who elect the Legis-
lature any right to complain if Congress
shall enact such radical legislation as will
reach this local question in all its parts
They have not. This question will be
reached in all its parts, and it is probable
that in reaching it many harsh things
will have to be done and endured, but
the people of Utah Territory will have
themselves to blame for these things
Now, is it not better for the
Legislature to do something in the
premises-something that will give
an earnest of an honest will to deal witt
the local question SO as to make the mar
ital system of Utah conform to the mar
ital system of the whole country? If thi
earnest were given and genuine effor
made to suppress polygamy, the countr.
would look upon such earnest and effor
as the beginning of the end Of the Utal
problem. This Utah question must ant
will be setted, and it will be settled il
accordance with the supreme laws OF thu
land and such being the case, is it no
much better for our own Legislature t.
grapple with this question than to ignor
it? The gentlemen who constitute tn
Legislature are OF the people and are wei
acquainted with their hopes and aspira
tons, and this fact together with the sym
pathy they. have for them makes then
eminently proper persons to deal witt
the question. When disease has to b
cured it is best that it be cured by tn
friends of the patient where those friend
have the power and ability to effect
cure. What in such cases may seem
great harshness is oft the greatest kind
