MANTI'S HOSPITALITY


The Manti Home Sentinel cautions its
readers to beware OF all strangers who
turn up in that vicinity, no matter in
what guise they may appear. Evidently
the Home Sentinel has an idea that in
welcoming strangers, instead OF enter
tanning angels unawares, they might get
hold of II deputy marshal or two on
the trail of polygamists. "Contine your
trade" says this hospitable sheet, 'to
our own people, and if any come among
us not properly endorsed, let them be
treated as spies till such time us they
conform to our customs. A little caution
may save us from many unpleasant
consequences. 1t might, for II fact, but
the tone OF this article would lead any
unprejudiced person to believe that,
however unpleasant the consequences
that might result from such lack OF
caution, they would be well merited by
those who were called upon to endure
them.
And the editor of the Manti Home
Sentinel is the president OF Young
Mems Christian Association, too! lie, is
evidently the right man in the right
place, with bosom overilowing with the
milk OF kindness for polygamists and
huge disgust OF anything that smacks
OF Americanism.

THE CANNON CONSPIRACY.

The examination OF Frank Cannon and
Angus Cannon, Jr., on the charge OF en-
tering into conspiracy 10 murder United
States District Attorney Dickson, was
brought to a close before U. S. Commits.
sioner 1Critchlowi yesterday afternoon.
After reviewing the evidence adduced,
the Commissioner stated that it was I'M.
possible for him to resist the conclusion
that the defendants were cognizant OF the
fact that Hugh Cannon (now fugitive
from justice) intended to commit an as
sault on the person of Mr.. Dickson, and
that they arranged and combined with
him, the aforesaid Hugh Cannon, to
bring about such an ASSAULT therefore,
he (the Commissioner) would hold the
defendants in bonds OF $1,000 each to
answer to the Grand Jury on the charge
oil conspiring to commit an assault.
The evidence adduced mt the examina-
tion shows that therelis even more than
probable cause to believe that these de-
PENDANTS entered into II conspiracy to
commit crime, yet all along the Church
papers have urged that the assault com
mitted in pursuance of this alleged con-
spiracy was nothing more than the work
OF n bcardless boy, who, alone and un-
aided, undertook to "get even, with
District Attorney Dickson for psopound-
ing Insulting" questions to his mother
while u witness beforo the Grand Jury.
It now turns ont that, instead of being
alone in that shameful affair, two men
are held, hfter searching examination,
to answer for entering into conspiracy
with this innocent, beardless youth
to commit the assault for which he is now
"wanted;" it is also proven that he is not
the son OF the woman who is alleged to
have been questioned in the Grand Jury
room, and therefore he could have had
no such motive to commit the assault rs
these Journals have imputed to him
and II more evidence is needed to CON
vince any reasonable person that he was
guilty of wanton, unprovoked and ma
lcious assault, with intent to murder for
aught anybody knows to the contrary,
the fact OF his sudden Disappearance on
the underground route furnishes that ev-
idencc.
What pitiablc liars these Church scribes
are shown to be when the cold facts are
brought to the light oS day!

never hope TO receive at the hands of
prison officials elsewhere. Yet, notwith-
standing all this, he has been subjected
TO endless abuse in Mormon pull
pit and press, and in every conceivable
way has been pictured as a veritable
monster, whose chief delight is to
harass, oppress and inflict unwarranted
punishment and indignities upon "this
people" generally and the prisoners in his
charge particularly,
Perhaps the curtailment OF few Of the
privileges" which it is held these con-
victs are entitled TO, would have salu
tary effect upon both them and their
loud-mouthed, and in many cases scarcely
less guilty, friends. Let the Marshal try
it for while and see how IL will work.

IT is TIME TO MOVE.

The DEMOCRATS suggestion last even
ing that the time has now arrived when
the non-Mormons OF Utah, regardless of
political party lines, should strike hands
in an earnest effort to secure from Con-
gress at its present session such legisla-
tion as this Territory most stands in need
of, seems to have met with the unguali
fed approval of all who recognize the
true situation of affairs here.
II it be true, as we are advised it is,
that Congress lis now in the humor
to pass such measures as will effectu-
ally dispose OF this ecclesiastical des-
potism within whose vampire clutch the
local government has been squeezed and
robbed OF its life-blood for third of a
century, then is il the duty Of all the
Gentiles throughout this Territory to rise
up Us one man, regardless OF personal or
political differences which under other
circumstances might hold them apart,
and do all that in their power lies to
bring about the needed changes here, so
that in the future Utah may in very truth
become the free land that all good citizens
everywhere would wish to have it. -
Again we urge that the local central
committees Of the two great national
parties be called together. Let them
give TO the situation all the consideration
which its Importance demands, and il it
be deemed wisdom to call together the
people in mass meetings throughout the
Territory, to ratify any action that may
be taken, why 50 let it be. -4.-
The great God above could never have
desired that Utah should be peopled by
slaves to either monarch or priest; let it
be at once our duty and our pleasure to
see that His desires are duly respected.

TnE lubberly old "rallapoosa," rejoic-
ing in the possession oi an electric steer
ing apparatus, is knocking about the deep
somewhere between Fortress Monroe
and Newport. The New York .SM thinks
that danger signals ought to be displayed
at once along the Atlantic coast. 1t will
not do to trust to the electric steering APP
paratus. The "Tallapoosa" is undoubt-
edly just as awkward and vicious as ever,
and her sole delight is still 10 run into or
be run into. The only hope Of aiirighted
commerce on the seas is that another
avenging Bath schooner will send her to
the bottom again. - tt

A TEMPTING BAIT.

The members OF the Utah Legislature
evidently begin to realize that they have
wasted altogethertoo much time fishing
with bare hooks in Gubernatorial waters,
so yesterday they determined to vary the
programme of sport little and see II it
were not possible to use some kind OF
bait that would enable them to land q
well-developed Executive approval. To
this end these legislative fishermen placed
upon the appropriation hook tempting
bait inthe shape of $4,000, to defray the
expense of sending Utah products to
the New Orleans and London Exposi-
tions.
OF course, under any other than exist
ing circumstances, Governor Murray
would feel it his duty to approve such II
bill, since money 50 expended would
doubtless result in great benefit to
the whole Territory. But unless Governor
Murray eats his own words, unless he
recedes from n position under the law
which he long has maintained, and
which all his friends are agreed is i'm
pregnable, unless he throws up the
sponge and admits that the pig-headed d
| servants of the Mormon Church now do
ing duty as legislators, are right, while
he himself is and all this time has been
in the WRONG, he cannot attach his sigma
ture to this measure, and we have suf-
| ticient confidence in him to believe that
he will not do 80. -Fal-
The bait is a tempting one, as we said
before, but the Wort Vt stringing it is sc
bunglingly done that the point of the
cruel hook is left exposed to the sight OF
all who care to look for it.

BILL was introduced in theEIowa
State Senate the other day which pro-
hibits any person who uses alcoholic
stimnlants, tobacco, or opium, from
teaching in the public schools and col.
leges oi the State, or from becoming
county superintendents or members OF
the State Board OF Examiners, In the
language OF the bill, it is intended to com
pei the custodians OF the young idea to
teach the evils OF the alcohol, opium and
tobacco habit by example as well as pre-
cept. 1t is the most ridiculous phase
the temperance craze has yet assumed
in Iowa. a-.

VERY THIN SOIL.
How . Qneer Old Gentleman Managed Il

How . g1neer Old Gentleman Managed to
Keep a Lawyer at Bay.
There was living in the edge Of Way
land a few years ago q quaint and
somewhat original old gentleman of
the name OF Adams, known to all the
neighbsrhood for miles around by his
harmless but sometimes amusing Pc
culiarities. GUS Sonerby, whose
early death Jew months ago deprived
the Midilesex bar of one of its brightest
lawyers and society of enc of the best
of good fellows, used 10 tell story
about the ',old gentleman which will
bear repeating.
The squire was driving towards Way
land early one summer morning when
he discovered Mr.. Adams making his
way afieh with the necessary haying-
tools-a Jug and a scythe-and stopped
to have chat with him. The soil in
that part of the country is very thin
and sandy, and the hay crop always
light, and the good-hunlored lawyer
took occasion to remark up0n the fact
and to pity the farmers who were
obliged to wiring scanty living from
beard him patiently for time, but at
length broke out:
'''Look here. Squire, you're wasting
ysur sympathy; 1 amt SO cussed poor
as you think I AMI don't own this
farm"
Returning towards evening "Gus"
looked out again for the old man, and
at length discovered him crawling on
all fours between the scattered hay
cocks towards home-a method of To-
comodion rendered necessary By the
faithfnlness with which he had attended
to the jug part of his outfit during the
day. Stopping his horse the lawyer
hailed the old gentleman and offered to
come over and assist him to his feet.
With as much dignity az his attitude
and general situation would permit the
fallen agriculturist waved him away
and shouted back:
keep off o. here! faint safe! The
soils so thin here, now the crops of,
that it won't bear man endways;
much as ever it'll keep me np fiat
wsys!''-Boston Record.

and he was one hundred and three years
old. Lenoir was parrot. He wa
born In the reign of Louis Seize, and
never quilted the house where he first
saw the light. having been handed down
by willto the different owners of the
house. Lenoir was capital talker, and
knew number of phrases, which he
often brought out mnI propos. Since
the reign of Charles X. there was q
good deal of difficulty in getting the
bird to learn any thing new. However,

taught him in few weeks to say; "Vive

with "A bas Robespierre!" which he
had been accustomed to say during tho
Reign of Terror. The last words oi
this remarkable bird were, it appears;

RUNNING BIRDS.
Their Peculiar Life the Best Protection

Their Peculiar Life the Best Protection
from Civil War.
The persistence OF character in hum
ming birds, both SIS regards structure
and habit, seems the more remarkable
when we discover their very wide dis
tributiOn over continent so varied in
its conditions and where they range
from the lowest levels to the limit Of
perpetual snow en- gthe Andes, land from
the tropics to the wintry Magellanic
distriG; also that a majority tpf genera
inhabit very circnmscribed areas
these facts. as Mr.. Wallace remarks,
clearly pointing to very high an
tiquity. It is perhaps law, ,of nature
that, when species Cor group) fits
itself to place not previously occu-
pied, and in which it is subject to ne
opposition from haings of its own class
or whare it attains so great e pcrfeo-
ton as to be able easily to overcome
all opposition, the character eventually
loses it's original Elasticity or tendency
to vary, since Improvement lin such q
case would be suferHuous, and be-
comes, so to speak, crystallized in that
form which continues thereafter un-
altered. 1t is, at any rate, dlear that,
while al other birds rub together in
the struggle for existence, the hum-
ming bird, owing to its aerial life and
peculiar manner of seeking it's food, ia
absolutely untouched by this kind Of
warfare and is accordingly so far re-
moved from all competition with other
birds as the solitary savage is removed
from the struggle Of life affecting and
ties. The lower kind Of competition
affecting hnmming birds. that with in :
sects and within the family, of species
with species, has probakly only served
to intensity their unique charaaeris-
ties, and, perhaps, to lower their intel
iigence. .-Lo~gnsan's Magazine.
