WHICH WIFE SHALL 1T BE?
Judge Zane Disscnts from Powers
and HOreman Oh AN Important
Point i'll POiygamy Gases.

The Supreme Court convened Satur.
day afternoon and rendered an opinion
in the case OF the Lehi Irrigation Com.
pany VS.. Stephen Moyle ct al. confirm.
ing the judgment of the lower court.
This opinion was one OF extraordinary
length, and was delivered by Judge Bore
man. AT the conclusion of the reading
the court took recess for supper, and
met again at 8 p. IN. to dispose OF the
two cases OF Apostle Lorenzo Snow.
These cases were both appealed on pre-
cisely the same grounds. The points upon
which it became the duty of the Honor
able Judges to pass an opinion were as
to whether the inference were justfiable
one that man in polygamy is considered
to be cohabiting with his first and lawful
wife even though he do not reside with
her, but ostensibly confines himself to one
OF the plural wives; and also as to the
legality OF bringing more than one in
dictment for the same offense against the
defendant. On the first point it
had been contended that the fact
OF Adelina Snow being the lawful
wife OF the defendant did not consti-
tute the existence of unlawful cohabita-
ton because defendant had lived with his
plural wife Minnie; but that it would be
necessary to show that the same rela-
tions were carried out with Adeline as
had been established in connection with
Minnie. This point seems to have been
well taken by the defense in the light of
Judge Zane's former decision, by which.
in the case of John Daynes, S. w. Sears
and others, he permitted the defendants
to chose, themselves, as to whether they
would live with the first and lawful
wife or with one of the polygamous wives /;
and His Honor held to this opinion in
the present cases, and filed his dissent to
each decision. In the matter of the add
misslbility OF more than one indictment
for the same ofiense, all the Judges CON
Cured, and held that so long as the in
dictments covered different periods there
need be no limit to them.
The dissenting opinion of Judge Zane
involves very important consideration,
particularly to those polygamists who, in
avowing their intentions to conform to
the law, have cast off the first and law
iul wife and conferred their attentions
and cohabitation to one of those taken in
the celestial" order; and if the opinion
oil the concurring judges on this point be
adopted and enforced any and all of those
polysamists living as above stated are
liable to prosecution at any time notwith-
standing that they are only living with
one wife, and Notwithstanding their de-
clared Intentions before the court.

cannot be readily imagined, and the same
obscurity shrouds the short gentle
man with "full gray beard"
although we are inclined to think this
is Cannon himself. This afternoon it be-
came pretty generally believed that the
wrong man had been captured, and
good deal of betting tended that way.
Mr.. Dickson himself became visibly
affected by the rumor, but when
at $3.50 this afternoon he re-

and that of Judge Zane were radiant with
smiles:

Before the above message came to hand
the DEMOCRAT had wired for full parti-
culars respecting the person arrested as
to whether it were Cannon or not, to
which the courteous editor of the iSiluer
State replied.
To DEMOCRAT: Marshal Ireland has Just
left here with Cannon for Utah. The pris-
oner made no attempt to get released on
hdbeos corpus. Arrangements were made to
have him arrested by the u. s. Marshal of
this State if an attempt had been
made to release him from custody
of Ireland on the ground of non-jurisdic-
ton. The officers identified Cannon. Ar
mold, who returned with Cannon when ar
rested, has left for California.

The Boston Beacon tells of young
man who WISHED to send some compli

tiful singing at conservatory concert
had pleased his fancy, got an impecu-
NOUS friend who was brilliant rhyms-

pleased him greatly, and he copied
them and sent them to the lady, as the
"outcome of an idle moment, from

were returned with an Interrogation

and rage he found he had used sheet
of paper without noticing that his

''Dear j., 1 can't let you have the
last verses to Miss B for less than

AP0rtrait Of tho POpo.

Pail Mall Gazette: Under the title
of "Souvenirs d. un Journalistic Fran
Gals Rome.'' Nj. Henri des Houx,
whose intimate relations with the vati-
can, are we'll known, has just written
an interesting book on the ins
and outs of the Vatican ''pris-
co." Here is his sketch of the
pope himself: LEO XII, blesses
his audience with graceful and king
ly gesture. He has a merry mouth.
His smile does not possess that sar-
donic Voltarian expression fonnd in 50
many of his photographs. On the
contrary, it is rather gentle and pa
ternal. His eyes are very black and
brilliant. His features, acetic and
strongly marked, have become benevo-
lent and engaging. He must have
had great difficulty to accommodate his
countenance, such as nature made it,
to the august role of Holy Partnership.
Perhaps the soul of q pope modifies
the exterior lineamenrs in the long
run. Like St. Francois de Sales. who
was born dogmatic but who became,
by continued self-subjection, an angel
of sweetness, Leo Kill, on being made
pope, must have overcome, or at least
subdued. q violent character.
His holiness is still vigorous, in spite
of his leanness and senile trembling.
His hair is white. and arranged in
curls over his temples. His cassock
seems to envelop only the shadow of a
body, just enough humanity to hold a
soul. He speaks very slowly, par
ticularly when he speaks French. In
Italian he improvises rapidly, but in
French he has to call on his memory.
With his arms extended he seems to in
vite the whole universe to come and
receive his thoughts. The oratorical
action of his holiness is in reality a
curious study. 1t can hardly be called
classic. but it gives to his speech an
academic breadth and impassioned
vivacitt not to be found in the printed
text. Nobody reading his allocutions
would ever imagine the effect they pro-
duced on delivery

The new Tennessee senator, Mr..
Whitthorne, is described as man of
medium height and well-rounded figure.
His countenance is one indicating
shrewdness and ability. His forehead
is broad, but low, overshadowed by
thick i1on-gray hair; his eyes keen and
of an intense blue; his nose a dropping
aquiline; his cheek bones high, the
lower part of his face sunken and
angular. He wears gray mustache
and chin whiskers. He uses nearly
half pound of tobacco a day. He
has a good analytical mind and is con-
sidered convincing though not an
eloquent speaker. He is 50 careless
in the matter of dress that his friends
told him it stood in the way of getting
cabinet position.

SENATOR PAYNE of Ohio, has re-
signed from the Senate Committee on
Pensions. The reason given is that
his health is on the decline and he is
unable to attend to the duties. His
friends claim that he is far from well.
Those who know, also, claim that his
resignation is to be followed by others,
and that, one by one, Senator Payne
intends to withdraw from his Sena-
torial duties. 1t is a well-known fact
Senator Payne has not been we'll for
some time, and the strain upon him
just at this time is intense. Senator
Wilson, from Maryland, has been ap-
pointed to his place on the Committee
on Pensions.
