Governor West of Utah called on the
Mormons undergoing sentence in the
pen;tentiary and said he thought the
President would pardon them if they
promised to obey the law hereafter,
and urged others to do so. He said
ne would urge their pardon if they
gave this promise, and that Judge
Zane and Attorney Dickson would do
so also. They refused to make the
promise, however, and Apostle Lo-
renzo Snow, speaking for himself and
the rest, said hedid not blame the rep
resentatives of the law any more than
he did those who prosecuted Christ
and the early Christians; but the
Mormons were following the direct
command of God and could not give
way to the laws of man." Thus the
Mormons propose to continue to re-
sist the law, regardless punishment.

The New York court of appeals in
the New York sinking fund case holds
that in estimating the debt OF New
York city with reference to the consti-
tutional limitation, the bonds OF the
city's sinking fund must be deducted.
AS nearly all the large cities of the
country, to a greater or less extent,
have sinking funds made up of their
own securities, the principle set forth
has an important bearing.

Referring to the recent tornado in
Kansas City, it is said thatit has been
demonstrated that we'll built city
blocks will resist tornado success
fully. The storm caused much dam
age and loss Of life, but only few
buildings we're injured, and they stood
in exposed positions and were known
to be fiimsy and unsafe. The tower
of q school housew was overthrow and
wrecked the building in its fall, but a
recent and more solidly built addition
to the structure was uninjured. The
court house stood on q Hill unshel-
tered, where it received the full force
OF the storm, and was wrecked bat it's
walls were thin and frail, and it had
never been regarded as strong build
ing. Another building which was part
ly destroyed is also described as i'll
built and weak. The tornado did not
cut q furrow through the city, and it
may be inferred that solidly built
city block is more than q match for
tornado. But what Of cyclone,
similar to those which devastated
Sank Rapids, q few weeks ago? We
cannot tell until one strikes solid

Democrats Cry "stop Thief" In an Effort to

,gpecial to the indianapolis Journal
WAsHIEeroN, March during the past week
q good deal has been said In the House about the
charges made by Democrats that the machinery
S6f tho Pension Office has been applied during
former campaigns to the aid of the Republican
barty. Some queer things develop in these
matters.
About six months before the presidential cam
tpaign in 1884 man from Illinois was appointed
ITO position in the Office Of the supervising arch
itect of the Treasury, at the instance of Repre-
sentative Morrison of horizontal tariff fame
sYhe man was a well-known Democrat, and went
thome and voted for Mr.. Cleveland
| A short time prior to the election in Ohio, last
fall, this man was transferred to the Pension
Office and made special examiner. When
asked how 1t came that he had met with such
good fortune, and why he had been transferred,
q knowing look that he was going to Ohio to
FAX" John Sherman; that he had been made q
special examiner because he was an experienced
politician, and was expected to do some good
work He boosted of this, his companions say,
and was soon off to Ohio and in the campaign.
sUnder the impression, or pretended belief,
that the Republicans actually did manipulate
the pension business to political ends, have no
doubt that there will be monstrous outrages per-
petrated in that direction now, said officer
sLof the Pension Office to-day. "And while they
are doing it,n he added, they will be yelling
fraud at the former administration"

nant there, with the power Of making and ad-
ministering the local laws, the situation will be
one of pre-eminent vantage, and they will have
enlisted for their protection the whole force or
the states-rights doctrine. That they have not
yet made direct move in this direction is due,
not to their inability in several years past. but
to the fact that they have everything to gain by
delay. While the population of Nevada has
been diminishing, the Mormons have been aug
menting by an average yearly addition OF two
thousand converts and by natural increase, the
result of plural marriages and the prol'fcness
of the healthy agricultural people who compose
their rank and file. Until they declare them
selves no one outside the faith can know how
many Mormons are already in Nevada living
unremarked in community not ad
dicted to religious inquisition. When they
shall have attained voting population
in the State as great as either Of the two
nearly evenly balanced poiticaparties, their end
is assured. for in contest for State or national
Office influenced by money, no single man, how
ever rich. can outbid the Mormon Church. Such
a colonization can be effected by the Mormons
without imparing their absolute supremacy in
Utah, or weakening their hold in the outlying
Territories With two Senators and voting
representative in the lower house of Congress,
the strength of their position will become strik
ingly apparent Many of the strongest barriers
which now surround them under Territorial
form of government will then have been over
come, and the power to subordinate everything
to the interests of the Mormon Church will have
been correspondingly strengthened. TO deal
with them under State organization constitu-
tional questions will have to be met commensu-
rate in gravity with those settled twenty years
ago by the civil war, with the perpetual difficulty
that, in dealing with this particular case prece-
dents may be established which in after time
could be quoted in justification Of the repression
of civil and religious liberty and the impairment
of the integrity of duly-invested statehood.

they controlled State by majority vote 1t is

MILWAUKEE, March 1.-The labor meeting
conducted by the Tanners and Curriers' Union
in this city, last evening nearly terminated in
a row. When Robert Schilling. the labor agi-
tator and Knights of Labor organizer. was asked
to speak, he consented to do so upon the condi-
ton that the followers of the red flag should be
allowed no voice. He had no sooner concluded
his address, however, than a local leader of the
Anarchists sought to take the platform and
speak to the men, who packed the hall to its en-
tire capacity. A scene of tumult ensued. The
few Socialists insisted that the man should be
heard, while the greater number present were
equally as vehement in their cries of ''throw
them out" To add to the confusion, hundreds
engaged in the discussion at the same time,
shouting at the top of their voices. and several
of the more outspoken Socialists were picked up
bodily and hustled to the open air. Securing
quiet for instant. the presiding officer declared
the meeting adjourned, and called upon the tan
ners to retire. Representative Knights of La

shareholder therein, were decided. These suits
present substantially the same questions. They
were brought by an express company against
railroad company to restrain the railway
company from interfering with or
disturbing in any manner the facilities
ing its business on the railway of the railway
company. The question presented was the right
OF railroad companies to refuse to carry express
matter and the agents and messengers of the ex-
press companies over their lines. The rail
road companies claimed the right to transport
express matter over their lines in cars selected
by themselves and under the control of their
own employees. The lower court decided in favor
of the express company The chief justice de-
livered the opinion of the court. He held that
railroad company has ever held itself
out as common carrier of common
carriers. The question, he said, was
whether these express companies cannot demand
as a right what they have heretofore had only as
a favor. That depends on whether the railroad
companies are by law charged with the duty of
carrying all express companies in the way that
express carriers are usually carried, just they
are with the duty of carrying all passengers and
freight when offered in the way that they are car
ried. The Court holds that they are not. The
decree is reversed, and the suit is remanded with
directions to dissolve the injunction, and after
business done while the injunctions were in
force, and decreeing the payment of any
amounts that may be found to be due, to dis
miss the bills.
Justice Matthews took no part in the decision
of these cases. Justices Miller and Fields dis
scented from the opinion.
