men presided were composed OF unem-
ploved mechanics and laborers. For
months they had been in state OF en-
forced idleness, and consequently without
the means to purchase food. Messrs
Burns and Hyndman, in response to the
calls made upon them, pictured in true
colors the character OF their governmental
system, and told them that government
which had millions to spend for political,
aesthetic and sentimental objects, ought to
spare little for the purpose OF helping
them to earn food. To earn food,
not to get it gratis, for none OF
them wanted eleemosynary aid; they
simply wanted mans right tc

work was not provided by private
employers, they were justified in
demanding it from the Govern
ment. That was the extent OF the
"offense" committed by Hyndmani
Burns and the other speakers, and by the
verdict returned on Saturday, the jury
properly say that that was no oftense

GROWLS AND MUSIC.

The Chicago Herald OF the 7th instant
says the nomination OF General McCler-
nand to be Chairman OF the Board OF
Utah Commissioners has set the Missouri
contingent wild with anger and envy.
They had confidently counted on secur-
ing this position for ex-Congressman
Buckner, and complain that their Dem
ocratic State has been overslaughed by
the Republican State oi Illinois, which,
under the influence OF Colonel Morrison,
has managed to bag a large proportion OF
the best offices in the gilt OF the
President, The same paper says that
on the evening OF the receipt OF the news
OF General McClernand's appointment
over IL thousand citizens OF Springfield,
headed by the watch factory band
marched TO his residence and rendered
him serenade in honor OF the event
The loyal people OF Utah, who are the
most interested, care but little about
these local chickering's. They want a man
who will do his duty promptly, and fear
lessly execute the law under which he is
appointed, and they believe that General
McClernand will fill the bill in those
particulars.

TIE Dallas (TeXas) Nevs says that
nothing but polygamy or free whisky
would ever populate Nevada. Ii that is
true the battle-born commonwealth is not
likely to be crowded to an extent which
will involve great lack OF elbow room.
The sentiment OF the Nevadaites is decid-
edly adverse to excessive wedlock, while
whisky, free or otherwise, is not gener.
ally presumed to be favorable to the pro.
creation OF the human species. The
News, however, is mistaken. Nevada's
mineral agricultural and grazing re-
sources are sufficient to support popula.
ton nearly as large in proportion to its
area as any State or Territory west OF the
Rocky Mountains, or perhaps even this
side of the Mississippi river.

wANToN SLAUGHTER.

The recent fatal trouble on the Louis
willie & Nashville railroad is the natural
outgrowth OF the arbitrary and niggardly
policy of arrogant capitalists OF the Jay
Gould type. Capital is but the accumu-
lation OF labor, and but for the latter there
would be no such thing AS the former
Capital should foster rather than perse-
cute or discourage labor, for every blow
struck rebounds with redoubled force
upon the attacking source. THIS ls les-
son which the labor-crowding upstarts
who are provoking these troubles will
learn to their sorrow, and at considerable
expense to their pockets If not to their
lives While there can be no excuse Tor
lawlessness. neither can there be Tor
the actions OF those who incite or provoke
it. From the account OF the affair in the
dispatches, it does no, appear that any
outrages were committed by the mob
which justified the officers in firing
into the crowd. 1t appears to have
been wanton and cowardly waste OF
human life, and every one OF the Sheriff g
posse ought to be indicted, tried and
punished for manslaughter or murder.
The attempt, moreover, to hold the
knights of Labor responsible for the law
less although harmless demonstration
which formed the pretext for the slaugh-
ter, is as foolish as it is false and unjust.
The action of Mr.. Powderly, the chief OF
that organization, and the public dis
countenancing of the proceedings by the
local leaders, is sufficient refutation o
the charge OF even completely by that
BODY Their conduct as an organization
has been moderate wise and in every
respect commendable throughout the
entire trouble, and their course vii
insure for them the respect and approva
OF every right-minded person in th'
country.

ENDORSING THE WOODBURY. BILL

In holding mass meetings throughout
the southern counties OF Idaho, for the
purpose OF urging upon Congress the ne
cessity that exists for additional legisla-
ton to settle the Mormon Church-and-
State and polygamy questions, the
citizens of our neighboring Territory have
done good work. At wel-attended
meeting held at Pocatello the other even
ing, the following memorial was sub
mitted, approved and largely signed, and
has since been transmitted to Washing
ton:
To the Honorable the Senate and House OF
Representatives.:
We, your memorialists, citizens of the
United States in the Territory of Idaho, ir.
respective of party ties or political affilia-
tions, would most respectfully urge upon
your honorable bodies the passage of the bill
recently introduced in Congress by Repre-
sentative Woodburn of Nevada, aimed at
the suppression aud extirpation of polyg-
| amy.
The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter day
Saints is not religious, but n political or
ganization, whose aim and objects are inim-
ical to and subversive of the best interests
of the Government.
There are at present in the neighborhood
of l,500 Mormons in the Territory of Idaho,
and this number is rapidly increasing.
These people consider themselves in no wise
| bound or controlled by the laws of the
United States when in conflict with the
tenets of their church or organization, and
openly and defiantly proclaim and preach
this most pernicious doctrine. Various
theories and methods have been adopted
| and tried to bring this misguided people
to proper appreciation of their duty as
citizens, but without avail. Having per
sisted i'll their violation of the laws and
their reasonable attitude towards the
United States, they are to-day more defiant
| reckless and determined than ever. Claim
ing and exercising the privilege of violating
the laws, We respectfully submit that they
| should have no voice in making the laws.
All other measures having either wholly
| or partially failed and we having read III
unbounded satisfaction the provisions of ine
Woodburn bill above mentioned, we most
respectfully and urgently recommend its
paSsnge,

that in the case OF Burns, Hyndman,

REPORTS on THE TARIFF BILL.

In our dispatches to-day will be found
a synopsis, cmbodying the principal fea-
lures, OF the majority and minority re-
ports of the House Ways and Means
Committee on the Tariff bill. The two
reports doubtless outline the argument
which will be adduced in the discussion
OF the bill by its advocates and opponents
in the House. The bill reported is substi-
tute for the original Morrison and Hewitt
bill and was designed as u compromise
measure, althoughit does not appear that
the Republican members OF the COM
mittee accepted it as such, from the Wig
orous manner in which they attack its
principal provisions. The subject Of
wool, which is placed upon the free list
in the bill, is made most prominent in
both reports, and it is also OF
more interest to the people OF
this Territory than any other. 1t is
our impression that lead and all other
metals is not affected by the bill, and
our opinion is strengthened by the fact
that no allusion is made to them in the
reports. 1t is hardly probable that the
Democratic members OF the committee
reflect the views upon the tariff question
or its details, OF anything near the
entire party in the House. The
committee was appointed by Speaker
Carlisle, who is u tariff reduction man
and he would be likely to select members
of his party whose views were in conso
nance with his own upon the subject
1t may safely be predicted that when The
bill comes before the House, party line
will be no more closely observed thar
they were on the Morrison bill OF the las
| session

patriotism will induce them to under
take the duties for the small amounts
appropriated. Mr.. Garland should by
all means allow an assistant for this dis
trict The bust ness is altogether too
much for one man to attend to properly,
and unless the District Attorney is fur
nished with the necessary aid the public
interest will suffer by the thwarting OF
the ends of Justice. There are more than
double the amount OF United States cases
before the courts here than when an as
sistant was allowed, and it is hard to
conjecture the reason for the niggardly
policy which reduces the force proper
tionately with the increase of business.

Brother Cannon, who recently left his
bondsmen to pay $4,000 bail which they
had put up for him, has joined President
Taylor in an epistle to the Mormon Confer
ence, exhorting the faithful to resist the law
and never give up polygamy, no matter what
prosecutions they may be called upon to en-
dure. Brother Cannon is n recklessly brave
man. The United States Government will
find that it canroI intmidate him if i,

himself, to jail. The only thing before

CAUGHT ON THE HIP.

The telegraph informs us that 450 men
and boys employed in the large billiard
table factory OF the Brunswick Balkc-Col-
lender Company, ut Chicago went out
on strike on Friday morning last. The
strike is the result OF the company's nom
compliance with the demands OF their
employees for the abolition OF contract or
piece work, and an advance of 20 per
cent. in all day wages.
This action on the part OF their en-
ployes leaves the Brunswick Bake. Col
lender folks in bad box-just where
they deserve to be left. For a long time
past they have refused to pay to their
workmen anything like the rate of COM
pensation which the profits OF their
sales warranted, and all the men
could do was to grin and bear the injus.
tice. To-day, however, the company is
bound by contracts, entered into on the
basis of existing wages, to furnish large
number of billiard tables, and it is COM
planned that il the desired increase of
compensation should be allowed, the
company would lose money OH its con.
tracts. On the other hand, the employees
claim that they are justly entitled to the
20 per cent. advance, and unless it is al.
lowed, they will not return to work. AS
it is known that the company has large
amount OF unfinished contracts which
it cannot afford to abandon, it is quite
probable that it will agree to tn,
terms proposed by the employees ant
hereafter pay them decent compensa
ton for their work.
