an incident in the scheme. The plar is
understood to be something like this ::
In the event of majority being given
20 HALEY. he will, of course, re
ceive the certificate and take his sea
without opposition, bat should he be-
defeated at the polls, he will contest the
seatupon the ground that the election
vas unfair; he will represent to Con.
zress that the Test Oath law deprived
1900 citizens of their right to vote; that
these C items; If their ballots had been
received, would have voted for him
and thas elected him by an overwhelm
ing majority; that HALEY believes
be will have the most votes when the
count shall be made, but in case he
does not, Democratic House of Rep
resentatives will give him the seat, OF
the ground that the Test Oath law is
void. 1t is argued that the votes of the
Mormons are essential to Hailey's cleo
ticn, but that Haley had to Tepudlate
all Mormon utilization in order to get
the nomination and hold the Gentle
Democrats together; that if be had
kept faith with the Mormons and
openly acknowledged their support, the
anti Mormon Democrats would have
made another nomination, or given
their votes to Dubois.
We cannot believe there is anything
in this story; to accept it one must
look upon Chief Justice Hays as a
political trickster who would use his
high office in a mo disreputable
manner to aid partisan. 1t is not
difficult to believe that HALEY
would be a party to the scheme, for
his course has been that of the
cunning, tricky politician, ready and
willing to engage in crooked cOmbina
tons, and break faith with those he has
used when 1t is no longer to his advan-
tage to maintain the connection; but
that Judge Hays could be induced to
become a party to the contract is in
credible.
But If there is anything IN he alleged
scheme, the way to defeat it is for no
man whose right to vote can be ques-
toned, to offer to vote for Haley. No
Mormon who has any self-respect can
vote for John Haley, after what the
latter has said and done against the
Mormons. Do not let tie gentleman
go to Congress with a single affidavit
that the signer would have voted for
him had it not been for the Test Oath
law.

CHAFING.

Certain local soreheads are deeply
distressed by the fact that Hon. John
T. Csine continues, year after year, to
occupy a position as, mem Der of the
Democratic Congressional Committee.
These soreheads individually weep and
wall and gnash their teeth during the
summer months, and when the winter
approaches they herd themselves to-
gether and unitedly perform the wall
ing and crashing act. They have Just
INDUCED in one of their union crashes.
Meantime Democratic Congressman, if
they ever hear of these -soreheads and
their walls and threats, pay no atten-
ton, but go along about their business,
never thinking of asking Utah malcon-
tents who are Democrats. Republicans,
and Liberals by turns, whether man
who has always been a Democrat is
entitled to recognition and shall BE- ad-
mitted to the councils of Democratic
Congressman. 1t is hardly necessary
to remark that THE HERALD has never
discovered in Mr.. Game any evidence OF
disturbance or distress on account oil
what the sofeheads say of him or of hi.
Democracy. In passing, il may be well
enough to remark that it is hardly
probable that when Mr.. Caine is in
doubt as to what constitutes Deme.
crat he will go for information to
men who train with Republicans oftener
han they do with Democrats, and who
were so sorry when a Democrat was
elected President that they went into
sackcloth and ashes while genuine Dem
ocrats were ''jubilating" over the
glorious triumph. The way this thing
all appears to US is this: Democratic
Congressman know what they're doing.
and Mr.. Game understands his business,
while the handful of political monde
scripts hereabouts are the only ones
who seem to be ignorant of what they
are about.

WHEN THE half-dozen gentlemen
who were Liberals last year, Repul &.
licans the year before and self-professed
Democrats now, got themselves to-
gether the other evening and nomin.
ated Colonel Ferry for Congress, why
didn't they offer the gentleman the
moon and a couple of comets with
which to adorn it? when you are going
to do a thing, do a big thing if il
doesn't cost any more than to do a
little one. 1t would be just as easy to
present the gallant Colonel with fair
Lima and an assortment of planets as
to give him the Delegateship.

AN UNaRATEFuL wKEIca.


In our. columns this morning will be
found an account Of As black a piece of
villainy as mortals are ever called to
leok upon. The story is told in a dis
patch from Cheyenne. and may be sum-
married. thus: John S. Kerr-a stock.
grower, and man highly esteemed by
the community where he resides, last
year representing his county Carbon
in the lower house of the National
Legislature, IN which he was chosen
speaker was absent from home; and
during that absence his younger
brother, whom he had educated and
nurtured, seduced his wife. OF this
John s.. K rr was informed by his II
year-old son. He did not take vengeance
upon the destroyer Of his home, but.was
mercifuI. He decided all his property
to his boy, while he went out into the
world, perhaps with the hope of for
getting faithless wife and an migrate
full and unnatural brother; if not that,
then in tile hope of hiding his shame
to live among men where he would not
be
"a fixed figure for the time of scorn
To point his slow, unmoving finger at"
But his brother, as if he had
not been stepped in villainy
enough to damn him to the
lowest he'll, in running the peace Of
mind and breaking up the home of a
brother to whom be was indebted for
education and other advantages in life,
must needs try to rob the son of the
property left TO him by his wronged
father. Hearing of this, John S. Kerr
returned to the place that was once his
home Hot words ensued at the meet
ing of the brothers, when w. s. Kerr
tried to add one more crime to his al
ready black list by attempting to take
the life of the man he had so much
wronged. The shot he fred, however,
only wounded his brother in the leg.
AT this John S. Kerr, the injured hus-
band and brother, returned the shot
and MORALLY wounded the villain who
had wrecked his life.
No one will say that John S. Kerr was
not justified in his deed. He had to do
st in self defense; and even had he not
been shot at by the seducer of his. wife,
the nuwritten Law. Of America, which
unhappily is falling into disuse, would
have justified him in taking the life of
the wretch who had de6Ied his wife and
forever ruined his home.
- The cases where men are justified in
becoming the executors of their fellow
men, are indeed rare; but it happens
every time that some smooth, oily
tongued, insinuating villain seduces
another mans wife.

THE NEVADA STRUGGLE.

It's most stupid and uninteresting
campaign that they are having in
Nevada. The candidates manage by
sorze means to get enough people to-
cether t. talk to, and then they talk
but the newspapers as a rule, are so
little interested in the matter that they
merely meltion the names of the
speakers, and announce subsequent
meetings at the regular advertising
rates. One Nevada daily before US
contains this solitary reference to the
great" political contest which is being
Eaged: "a candidate without cards is
at decided disadvantage. Call at this
ofice at once" Whether this is to be
understood as a vigorous assault upon
be Democratic nominees or a scathing
stack upon the Republican candidates
Ee are at loss to say, and the journal
q question fails to enlighten Us in the
natter, or to even state its preferences

A SILLY STORY.

There is an ugly -umer in circulation
concerning the coming Delegate cleo
ton in Idaho. The story is that plan
has been laid by which John HALEY ex-
poets to get the seat in the Fiftieth Con-
gress, whether or not the ballot count
shall show q majority Of votes in his
favor. It Is said that the decision of
Chief Justice Hays declaring the con-
stitutionslity Of the Test Oath act was

WE CLIP the following from an ex-
change, about the amount of govern
ment taxes paid by the different
States: "Illinois paid $4,000 900 OF
internal revenue taxes last year, the
greatest amount of any State in the
Union. Kentucky comes next with
$I6.OO0,O 600; New York, $14 900, 900
Ohio, $13 100000. and Pennsylvania 81,

AND NOW comes the report that it is
believed that France not only demands
that England shall desist from her ex-
pressed determination Of a military oc-
cupation of Egypt, but that she de
mands that England shall fix date for
her evacuation of Egypt. This is max
ing demands on England that she will
not relish. 1t wAl touch her pride. But
England is not SO proud as she was.

A NEW CAUSE.

Many are the causes that have led
men to commit suicide, bu: New Hamp-
shire comes out with a case that is
novel. Joseph B. Clark, prominent
citizen of Manchester of that State, q
man highly respected, who had acted
as mayor of that city, and a member of
the State legislature, committed suicide
yesterday, by hanging himself in his
barn. 1t is supposed that business
cares and his failure to receive the
nomination for Congress in the first
district caused his death. Is it not the
error of the moon that draws more
near the earth than she was wont, that
drives men to the cowardly resort OF
self-destruction? But we shall not say
yea, for then We would have men make
guilty of their disasters and
villainy the sun, the moon and the
stars: las if we were villains by ne.
cessity fools by heavenly compulsion
knaves, thieves, and PREACHERS by
spherical predOminance; drunkards:
liars, adulterers, by an enforced ofeH:-
ence OF planetary influence: ard all
that We are evil il BY :, divine thrust,
ing on, No, let Us not Jay it to the
noon for fear of the precedent. But if
this practice of self-destruction con-
tinues to increase, We shall soon be
more ike antique Romans than
Americans. Let everybody boycott
the suicide.

As th4 Nevada Represr NATIVE
in the past few Congress es, has made it
MS special object to make war upon thu
reace, good order and people OF this
territory; and Jet so little noise has
been made by our neighbors, that it is
doubtful if one in twenty of our citi-
zan> csn name the candidates. The
Republican nominee is William Wood
urn. the, present Representative, who
defeated Cassidy two years ago. and
whose service in the House so far con-
sistsin having presented a monstrosit!
in tie form Of the Woodburn anti-Mor
mon bill, which has never since been
heard from. He is not much of Con-
gresham, and so far as he Is capable OF
good or evil, it matters not at all
whether lie shall be sent back to Wash
ington or left at home. He is cyPheT
IN Congress, and his election or efeat
concerns only himself and the So 900 a

The Democratic candidate is one

and here we are compelled, from
want of further information, to stoF.
Is is presumed, however, that the gent
leman has record, that he has done
SON ething which has either displayed
ability or impressed the Democrats with
the belief that he possesses the quaId
cations Of a statesman. Without know
ing anything concerning Mr.. Mac

if elected he will necessarily be an i'm
provement on WOODBURY. who is SO near
to nothing as a legislator that it is
impossible for anybody to be less.
As to the chances OF the candidates,
1t seems to be a case of heads or tails.
It is absolutely certain that each will
get one vote, provided he shall not be
stricken with illness. on election day
and thus be unable to reach the polls !;
as to which will be able to buy the re.

ANOTHER SHARP earthquake at the
south yesterday. one that shook the
houses, but did no damage. II appears
to have been quite extensively felt
throughout several States. When lead
ing politicians take snuff, their subor
dirates all sneeze; when Charleston
shakes, I'll surrounding cities and
towns tremble. So that Charleston
occupies a position somewhat analogous
to that of leading politician. But the
thing to be surprised at is that this
frequent recurrence of shocks in no
way discourages the enterprise and
efforts to rebuild the city. This cir
cumstance is a strong proof that men
can get used to anything, even to earth
quakes-that is. small earthquakes Of
course.
