A Famous Fox Trap.

Randall Kellum, farmer Of Pike

horse which twenty years before he had
bought for 800 He hauled thcssv, g

foxes, and punish those thievish raiders

Kellum went early to the woods to see
if his plan had worked succ essfully lie
found lying scattered about in all dircc-
tons, and none Of them far away from
the poisoned horse, thirty-nne dead
foxes How many more managed TO-
get to their holes or hiding places before
they d ed was of course unknown. Mr.
kellum had the foxes taken home AMI
the next morning went to the woods
again. There were no foxes found as
could hardly have been expected, as the
horse during the previous night had
been mcnopolized by half the dogs in
the ncighborhood, fourteen Of which
were found dead at the scene Of their

logs were animals that had long been
suspected Of habitual and wholesale kill

Nights work was regarded as an excel

Kellum visited the remains Of bis Old

nineteen dead foxes. While returning
he encountered two Italian quargmcn,

ABUSE OF TRUST.
State.

As District Attorney Dickson stub
bornly refuses to take the necessary
steps to ascertain who stole the Best
letter, probably because he doesn't
know how to begin the inquiry, The
HERALD may be able to give him a
printer which will be Of assistance IN
starting him on the right track. There
is at least one of the postal clerks serv-
leg on the trains running out of this
city. with whom the deputy marshals
are in the habit Of riding; the officers
sit in his car, and of course can, il they
so desire, examine the letters. This
same postal clerk is a pronounced anti
Mormon, and is contributor Of Items"
to the TriSuae. Others Of the postal
clerks may be equally negligent
to use a mild term-in guarding their
trust. 1t Is, therefore, not difficult
10 understand how private letters might
fall into the hands Of deputies and reach
the Office Of the Tribune. No man not
connected with the railway mail service
has any right to be in a postal car. and
any postal clerk who invites a deputy
marshal or permits deputy to ride in
in his car. violates his trust and should
be removed. 3
The HERALD continues its caution
against sending important letters
through the mails from Salt Lake. 1t
costs but little more to send by express,
when communications will be safe from
the prying eyes Of public prosecutors,
lecherous deputies and unprincipled
editors.

THE RESULTS.

General Grant is credited with the
following apothegm: 1.-THE shortest
way to secure the repeal OF a bad law,
is TO demonstrate its evils by giving II
vigorous effect" II the Generals doc
trine Is correct. the Mormon people
may derive some comfort by remember
ing that the shortest way to secure the
repeal of the Edmunds law is being
pursued. No one acquainted with the
condition of affairs in Utah will say
that the Edmunds law was q wise
measurs for utah. A civilization new
in some respects grew up in this Terri
tory. and incorporated in that civiliza-
ton was the idea that under some cir
cumstances it was right-yes. even q
religious duty-for . man to have
more wives than one. Men and women
were taught to accept that doctrine and
practice it as q religious duty; nor is
it too much to say that II
was practiced with the tacit con
sent Of the general government.
for it was publicly taught and
prscticed for ten years before any
law Of Congress was enacted making IL
crime. And after the enactment of
that first law in 1852, we witness no
effort worthy Of the name to enforce IL
TOR twenty years. This new feature
then, of Utah's civilization had been
freely and openly practiced for thirty
years, during which time IL had grown to
be one OF the established features of our
society, linking together either directly
or indirectly well nigh all the families
OF the Territory. These plural mar
riages created no scandal in the COM
munity. Second or third wives were
honored equally with the first wives
and their station was equally respect
able. No distinction was made he
tween the children Of the several vive,
OF household. and society in Utah
recognized the relationship of the
plural wives 10 be eminentIy proner
And now, after polygamy has been

ing beside their husbands for over
score of years, bravely sharing with them
the good and Ill in life-are to be for
saken. The beautiful robe of wifehood
that they have worn is to be stripped
from them, and their husbands' mar
rage vows are to be made ..false as
divers osths." A Law that would thus
debsse innocent women, and unss nj.
The Salt Lake herald. [volume] (Salt Lake City [Utah]) 1870-1909, 1886-04-18

the social affairs of q large and respect
able community can by no deductions
OF true logic be made to appear good.
II is bad. II is cruel, and its vigorous
enforcement by the Federal officials, is
demonstrating its evils. For eighteen
months the Edmunds law has been Wig
orously enforced. even to a degree Of
cruelty; and now let its most sanguine
friends count their gainsl What has
that vigorous enforcement Of the law
Accomplishment 1t has driven a few
prominent Mormon ecclesiastical Off
Gals into exile, sent a few others to
prison, terrified, insulted, and distressed
few women and children and paralyzed
the business interests Of the Territory /;
but what has il done towards abolish
ing :polygamy? Practically nothing.
Those parties who have suffered i'm
prisonment have not been convinced
that their marriage system is wrong.
The community OF which they are mem
bers look upon them as martyrs TO q
principle. and they themselves look
upon it in the same light. The men
who think the means and methods en-
ployed against the Mormons will result
in remuneration of plural marriage by
that people have studied the history Of
religious prosecutions to little purpose.
The cruel persecution of the past
eighteen months has but intensified the
religious zeal Of the Mormon people.
The leaders. speaking from their places
Of concealment, command more
devotion from their followers
than when they were free. be-
cause they are now regarded rs exile>
for conscience sake; and will not their
counsels be more carefully followed by
the faithfully In vain their enemies
have looked for q revelation renouncing
polygamy; and basing our guess upon
the known character of human nature
and the effect that persecution has up
on it, we think the day of such renuncia-
ton Is very far distant.
All domestic arrangements, marriage in
particular. are recognized as belonging
to those subjects which properly come
under the management of the State
governments, and should Of right be left
to the Territorial governments. When
that is done, Utah, aided by contact
with the customs of other communities
will solve her ewn social problems. We
believe the vigorous enforcement OF the
Edmunds law will so demonstrate the
evils Of 1t that our statesmen will be con-
strained to turn over the Mormon
Problem" to the people of Utah to
selve. To them 1t rightfully belongs.
