WARRINGTON, August ID. - Representa-
tive Grain of Texas to-day had an interview
with Secretary Bayard in reference to the
Cutting and Rasure cases. Mr.. Grain said
that the Secretary is aroused to the impor-
tance of the principle involved, and is de-
termined to protect American citizens to
the full extent of his power. 1t is under
stood that the House Committee on Foreign
Affairs will declare the arrest and impris-
onment of Cutting to have been an infringe
ment of his rights as an American citizen,
and will report a resolution requesting the
President i'll an emphatic manner to de-
mand his release by the Mexican Govern

The Mexlcans Getting Insolent.

Ell PAso Texas, August 2d.-Several
days ago the Mexican authorities said that
Cutting would receive his sentence last
Saturday, but the promise was not kept. 1t
is now said by them that the sentence will
be pronounced next Wednesday to o GER
tain,y. The populece of Paso del Norte
have become very violent toward all Amer
leans. They seem to think that the United
States have backed squarely down, and that
it is a sign of conscious weakness. 1t is
reported. well-informed Mexicans say, that
if Texas was left out, Mexico could whip
the remainder of the United States very
easily.

Conviets and Converts.
New York Times.

Somewhere in the course of their
westward journey to the land OF the
polygamists, the seventeen mormon
converts from Iceland, whom the Ari-
IONA brought to this port on Monday,
may meet the special car in which
thirteen mormons are journeying east
ward to Detroit. Ii these two groups
of mormons could be brought face to
face, the deluded immigrants from
Iceland might enlarge their small
stock of knowledge about the nature
and perils of mormonism, for the thir-
teen occupants Of the special car are
convicts on their way to the peniten-
tiary In Detroit.
The CONVICTION of these men is the
fruit of vigorous and fearless enforce
ment of the Edmunds Law in Idaho
by United States Marshall Dubois
and his deputies and the Federal
Court. The southern counties of Ida
no are occupied by mormon colonies
from the adjoining territory OF Utah.
Not long ago these settlers held the
balance of power in the Territorial
Legislature. Alarmed by the rapid
growth of the mormon element, the
monogamists combined their forces
and passed s'test oath" law which
DISTINGUISHES all inhabitants of the
Territory who are polygamists in
practice or in belief. Then Marshal
Dubois began the work of enforcing
the Edmunds act. Last October sew
eral polygamists were convicted and
sentenced. During the recent term
of Court 145 indictments we're found,
and twenty-five polygamists were
tried and sent to the penitentiarles.
The young Marshal, who has been
the acknowledged leader in this war
upon polygamy, has earned the ha-
tired of the numerous followers of Joe
Smith, and Brigham Young, who once
hoped to capture the Territorial Gov
eminent. He was appointed by
President Arthur, and they have urged
President Cleveland to remove him
on the ground that he is an offensive
partisan. Unquestionably he is very
offensive to the men who have been
convicted, and to their associates who
have been disfranohised by reason of
their refusal to take the test oath;
but the President has probably dis
covered that he is the right man in
the right place.

Weiser Leader.

WelSer Leader.
Occasionally, in the history OF every
commonwealth or community there
comes time which constitutes test
period of principle. In April, 1861,
men looked into the graves of those
who slept and found that there was
something bitterer than dying and
grander than living. No man ever
attains maturity without passing
through at least one of these crucial
tests. Our territory at present is
menaced with danger which may
seem to jewellers at distance as
fanciful or slight. But to us whose
home is here, who have staked our all
on the prosperity and welfare of our
fair heritage, the issue is one OF i'm
mense Importance. Relieved of all
it's technical aspects, the case presents
but two sides. The diverse of the
shield reflects from its mirrored bright
ness home in all its sanctity, the ten
der relations which cluster about ones
hearthstone or cling to the family roof
tree. Upon its reverse we catch dim,
shadowy glarms of distorted family
relations, divided affections and lack
of allegiance to all that makes life
worth living. No true American citi-
zen can ever suffer from the operation
of the Test Oath. No true American
can escape from the suffering which
must follow it's repeal. If the pictures
of home and happiness which project
themselves upon the horizon of every
mans ideal of what he would wish to
be are of any earthly value, then for
Gods sake retain law which helps
to constitute the monogamic family.
This article will probably be read by
many who have given the subject lit
tie or no consideration. To such men
we say. cast your vote only for such
lawmakers as believe that the purity
of your mothers, daughters, sisters
and wives is more than any thing else
the grand cementing force which
holds together our social fabric and
our republic. You surely would
not willingly help to place in office
those who would make the marriage
tie mookery, all family traditions
illusions and the home stye.

Mrs. GILBERT BUTLER, of Haley, is
a candidate for the office of school
superintendent of Alturas county.
Her opponent is Rev. l. T. Osborne.
We are personally acquainted with
Mrs. b., and know her to be most
estimable lady, and in every way
competent to fill the position to which
she aspires, and nothing in the way
of election returns would please us
better than the good news of her
election, She is widow lady with
large family. The following, from
the Inter-Idaho, is short but to the
point:
awhile we can not and will not say
word detrimental of the Reverend
Osborn, or question his capability,
yet our bump of human kindness
compels us to exclaim: "Remember
the widow and her orphans on election
day."

The Mormon organ of Bear Lake
county is getting frightened at the
probable defeat of its friend HALEY,
and frantioally remarks: "The anti
Mormon party, under the leadership
of Dubois, claim that if they gain the
ascendenoy at the coming election
that they will make it so hot for the
Mormons, that they, the Mormons
will have to migrate from the Terri
tory of Idaho. This threat which
they make, we have no doubt but
they will carry out, if they have the
opportunity. Now, in view of this
threat being carried out, let us see
what the probable result will be.
There are in the southern counties of
Idaho about fifteen thousand people
who are thus threatened"

PEST HOUSE NECESSARY,
And Judge Young Says Some One
Must Suffer 1t.

In July last Joseph Hamilton, l.. Tillany,
Chris Hanky, George Earhardt, A. W. Sweet,
o. K. Earle, George S. Wolsey, B. S. Bohney,
G. r. Newcomb. Eugene Wetherhead, George
E. Goodrich, John Baston, F. o. Bastor, NJ.
Pratt, Frank Kelley, D. ]. Falvey. Henry Nc
Ginty, Jeremiah Quinn, c. E. Brown and
Calvin G. Goodrich commenced an action in
the district court against the city for an IN
junction against the operating of the pest
house, on the ground that it injured their
property. Last Saturday demurrer to the
complaint was made by the city attorney,
who claimed that the plaintiffs did not state
facts sufficient to warrant the suit. Judge
Young filed a decision in the matter yesterday
sustaining the demurrer. He said in his de-
cision: 1.-The present occupation of the
defendants property certainly does not
constitute @ nuisance with either the
general or special, nor is there any allega-
ton in the complaint that there will be
any such occupancy at any definite time in
the future. AS to interference with the COM
Portable enjoyIn ent of life or property on the
part OF the plaintiffs, it is alleged that the
land Of the plaintiffs is valuable for the pur-
pose of plating, or that it would be so but
for the acts of the defendants This effect
complained of does not bring the building
within the common law as q statutory det1ni-
ton of a nuisance. A large portion of the
property is situated quite Il distance from the
pest houses; so far that it is impossible to
conceive how the building occupied contin-
ually would endanger the health or life of the
occupants. 1t may in this connection be
proper to say that under the defendants
charter the city has the right and it is its
implied duty to maintain a building in such
near proximity to the city as to be available
in which to place people suffering from con-
tagious diseases. 1t is necessary for the
lives and health of the public generally. As
the building must be situated somewhere, it
is impossible that it shall not be near some
body's property, where the corporation is
not so fortunate as to own all the land ad-
joining the tract where the building is
located.

The Close of a v,ry Successful Mis-.
sion in minneapolis.
The mission which was given last week by
the Paulist fathers at the Church of St. An
thony, of Padua. was brought to close Mon
day evening In the presence of large audi
ence, which occupied every inch of sitting
and standing room. From here the reverend
fathers go to ST. Paul. where they will con-
tinue the work they are engaged in at the
church of st. Mary's, of which Rev. Father
Caillet is pastor. Outside of the Catholic
church not one person in ten understands
these missions, and the question is frequently
asked, what is a mission?' The word mis-
sion means a duty on which one is sent, and
this is simuly what is meant by mission in
connection with the church. The mis-
slonaries. as these Paulist fathers are
called, are sent out to preach the word
of God, explain and make clear
points OF religion, give instruction on matters
pertaining to the church and to endeavor to
bring back those who are in danger of being
led away from the straight path, or who
have grown lukewarm. These missions are
held at different churches about once every
ten years. Services are held morning and
evening. Considering the large attendance
by which the fathers have been greeted In
the past week, the great interest
evinced by the people and the fact that over
six hundred persons took the total abstinence
pledge in the parish of st. Anthony Of Padua
alone, the missionaries have good reason for
themselves as pleased with the
success of their labors.

TOOK A TUMBLE.
The Council Committee on Gas Re.
ports in Favor of the Edison Elec.
u


trio Light.
The joint council committees on ordinance
and gas met yesterday afternoon and dis
cussed the ordinance granting the Edison
Electric Light company a franchise. The Or
dinance, which had previously been submitted
TO the city attorney, was on the whole found
to be satisfactory. The ordinance provides
for an underground system, it being specified
that the city shall not be held liable for acct
dents. Unless u plant, which must conform
to grade, sufficient to furnish 1,200-horse
power be put in within one year,
the franchise is to be Cancelled.
The power TO compel the company to make
extensions is subject to the provisos that the
company shall not be compelled to extend its
system to such an extent as to exhaust the
power of its stations. nor to make extensions
until a sufficient number of property owners
shall enter into contract to use 2,4OO SIX
teen-candle power lamps. When such petit
ton and contract shall have been presented
the council may order extensions. The COM
pany is alse not compelled to put In new
circuit for q distance of more than TOUR
blocks in any street that has not been graded.
The charges of the company are not to ex-
coed 81 to 81. 80 per month for lamps ranging
from ten to thrty-two candle power burning
to $50 p. m; $3.50 to 1925 for lamps ranging
from ten to thirty-two candle power which
burn to midnight, and 81 to So for lamps
ranging from ten to thirty-two candle power
for lights which burn all night.
Aid. Pratt raised most of the objections to
the ordinance. but S. J. Cochrane, the repre-
sentative of the company, met him fully by
Offering to submit to any requirements that
could be considered as even approximately
Just. Finally it was decided to fix the PEN
atty, in case the company should fail to make
the extensions asked, at forfeiture Of the
franchise, and then the committee decided to
submit the ordinance to the council with the
recommendation that it be passed.

THEY WANT a BRIDGE
For South Minneapolis. but Don't
Want the Court House Moved.

Tollefsen's hall was filled last night with
gentlemen interested in the proposed Frank
lin avenue bridge. w. K. Hicks presided and
F. S. Mcdonald acted as secretary. 1t was
said that if the bridge is built in line with the
avenue it will cross the river diagonay,
being l, 200 feet long; if it cross the channel
at right angles the length will be about LOO
feet and the cost not over S125,O00-
Earnest speeches advocating the building of
the bridge were warmly received All the
members of the legislature from this district
were heard from in person or by proxy, and
all promised nearly support of the measure,
except one, and he will not oppose it. A COM
mittee of fifteen was named, who will present
the matter to the legislature and have it in
charge. They are Messrs. Jacob Stoft, J. H.
Paul. John Lally, F. NJ. Nye. j. II. Perry, f.
S. Mcdonald, William Regan, +. c. Penny,
Andrew Tollefsen, j. l.. johnson, d. 7. Col
ler, J. d. Muldoon, E. Farnsworth, Jr, B. b.
Carol, James Ungerman. Resolutions were
adopted reciting the promise of our last leg
islative delegation that this year bridge
should be built at Franklin avenue, and
earnestly requesting the members from this
district to use all their influence to secure
the necessary legislation. The meeting then
turned its attention to matters of public
economy, and after spirited speech, passed
the following resolution:
Resolved, That 1t is the sense of this meet
ing that any attempt looking toward the re-
moval of the court house from its present
site would be adding large and unnecessary
tax upon the people, and that the members
of the legislature from the Twenty ninth
district are requested to oppose any legisla-
ton asked for that purpose.
The question of special tax assessments
was also vigorously discussed, sentiment
seeming to favor the Omaha plan of collec-
ton, as explained by Mr.. Shuler, though no
formal resolutions were presented.
The citizens of the Sixth ward are in earnest
in their advocacy of the bridge at Franklin
avenue, and will make hard tight for it.

GOT WHAT THEY ASK.
The Twentieth Avenue Bridge and
the New Market Projects.

Engineer Rinker yesterday submitted to the
council committee on roads and bridges,
plans for the new bridge over the Mississippi
river at Twentieth avenue north. which were
accepted. The plans provide for a Pratt
truss through bridge, to cost 100000, which
provides for thirty-six-foOt roadway in the
clear with siX-foOt sidewalks on either side.
Its length is 500 feet, and it is to be supported
by three piers on pile foundations, and two
abutments. The council will, doubtless, ap-
prove the committees recommendation, and
the legislature will be asked to authorize the
issuance of the necessary bonds.
The committee on markets met and decided
to grant Harlan Gales request for an extern
sion of time, which gives him until June next
to select q site for a new market house, and
one year thereafter in which to build.
