Miss yyinston,s I,cccptiop.

There was novel scene presented in the
lobby Of Albaughs Opera-House this after
noon when Miss JEANNE Winston, the
popular operate singer, inaugurated a
series Of Tuesday afternoon recep.
tions which will be continued dur
ing the summer season. No better
proof Of Miss Winston's hold upon the
masses could he given than was shown by
the class Of people that attended the recep-
tion, and the West End belle was jostled by
one who but a few minutes before, perhaps,
had sold her the very ribbon which she
wore to call upon Miss Winston.
The latter wore black satin walking suit
trimmed with jet garsementerie, and a
large black hat turned up on one side, com
pleting a very handsome costume.
Around the edge of the hat
brim were small black balls, SINH
lar to those worn by Miss Winston
as the muleteer In "Donu0 Juanta." There
were no formalltles used. Miss Winston
shook hands with every one that entered
the lobby, which had been prepared for the
reception with a handsome large Turkish
rug In the centre and numerous chairs were
arranged for the accommodation Of callers.

Another crowded house greeted Jennie
Winston and her jolly company of comic
singers at Albaugh's Grand Opera-House
last night, when Suppe's romantic comic
opera, "Donna Juanita,n was given for the
first time this season. The principal parts
were well taken. Miss Winston, Louise
Searle, Annie Meyer and Messrs. Allen, Bell,
Hogan and Fay taking their respective
choruses were excellently rendered, while
tho orchestra, under the direction OF Mr..
John ltzel, though at times little too
strong, did good work. The gem of the
evening was the pages serenade at the
opening of the second act, which received a
double encore. The costuming and scenery
were rich and appropriate.

Great Times ON the River.

"Why, the present stage isn't marker
to what 1t was In the summer OF 1868. Then
It was low water. was on the old Savan-
nah, a stern-wheel boat that used to run
between st. Louis and st. Paul. 1t got too
low for us and the old boat was
tied up here in st. Paul after being
fifteen days making the trip up the river.
Why, 1t was so blamed low that the old
wheel was kept going backward half the
time trying to throw water under the boat
SO as to float her.-[St. Paul Globe.

MIR. CANNoN,s CASE.


The Ne,cS thinks that the United States
Marshal for Utah was guilty OF q very
uncalled-for proceeding when he made
public the announcement that he would
pay reward of $500 10 any person who
would furnish information that would
lead to the arrest of President" George
@. Cannon. We cannot agree with the
Ne,cs. 1t is doubtless very annoying to
Mr.. Cannon to have "a price set upon his
head" but do not the circumstances of
the case warrant il? We think so.
There may be instances, even in this
free country, where men innocent OF
crime have been hunted down by the
officers of the law and made to suffer un-
merited punishment. But such instances
are rare indeed. Does the Negs claim
that president" Cannon is innocent OF
the charge or charges preferred against
him by the Federal Grand Jury of this
district? II so, why does it not urge him
TO come forth from his hiding place and
face his accusers, as an innocent man
should and would? Why? Because
the Ne,cs knows very well that
he is not unjustly accused, and
that If he had his deserts, he would to-
day be mingling with the herd OF convicts
behind the bars of the Utah penitenti-
ary. Then. being wanted" for viola
ton of the laws, why should not re-
ward be offered for his capture, if all
other means resorted to for his arrest
have proved futile?
The Neus says that President" Cam
non is charged with "a simple misde-
meanor," and the authorities are
anxious TO punish him because of
"the influence his public teachings has
upon the minds of his hearers" The
Ne,Us, it seems to us, makes out splen-
did case in favor of the court officers.
Here is a man charged with the COM
mission OF criminal acts; he is man
who not only breaks the law himself, but
teaches others TO do the same thing, tell
ing them that it is God Almighty's will
that they should do it. They follow out
his instructions and fall within the grasp
Of the offended law. But where
is the man who is largely re-
sponsible for their troubles? Echo
answers. Like veritable coward,
he sinks out OF sight, and while his VIC
Tins are being sent to the penitentiary at
the rate OF three day, this arch-scoun-
drel remains at large and can nowhere
be found. Isn't it desirable that such a
man should be arrested? Do not She
interests of society demand that he
should, ii possible, be arraigned at the
bar of justice? We think so. 1t is to be
hoped that the reward will shortly be
claimed by some one who has earned it.
Salt Lake evening Democrat. [volume] (Salt Lake City, Utah) 1885-1887, 1886-02-12
" TEMPERED WITH MERCY. :"

The Mems does not believe "that the
Edmunds law requires the severity with
which il has been administered i'm every
case" OF course not! Nobody ever
supposed, for one moment, that the NeWs
would be able to reconcile the action of
the courts in carrying out the Edmunds
law with any notions of right or justice
which it may have conceived. The Ne,Ds'
idea is that, in the first place, polyga-
mists ought not to be punished
at all; rather that they should
be rewarded with positions of
honor and trust in the community,
and be looked up to as men who have n
sort OF divine right to rule over the poor,
uninspired monogamists.
Up to the present time, the courts have
dealt as leniently with offenders OF this
class as they consistently could. But it
is every day becoming more and more
apparent that the lcniency OF the courts
is not properly appreciated by those to
whom it is extended
Ii the courts have been at fault at all
in this matter, the class OF offenders al
luded TO have had the benefit oil that
fault. In the future, ii less lenency than
heretofore shall be shown to convicted
polygamists, the parties will have only
themselves to blame.

NEEDS ATTENTION.

The newspapers of the East have been
poking considerable fun at General De-
ment and his mares nest, and the con-
clusion which they have arrived at is
that the gentleman might as well pack
his collar-box and set his face toward his
Illinois home, giving up all hopes of con-
frmation at the hands OF the Senate.
Doubtless they are correct. But in the
meantime the duties of the Office are
being neglected, and work that weeks
ago should have passed through the Sur
veyor Generals hands, is held back be-
cause the necessary signatures cannot
be procured. This is all wrong.
The office should not be allowed to re-
main practically closed because of the
fool antics OF Dement,, and under the cir
cumstances the Senate should dispose of
his case Cf the President does not make
action on their part unnecessary by with
drawing his appointment) at the earliest
possible moment.
In the light OF all that has been said
and done by General Dement,, we are
inclined to think that few tears would be
shed by citizens here If the gentleman g
appointment should be withdrawn, but it
is absolutely necessary that the opera
