MORMON IGYA! I4YALiI TY Z,

The Mormon leaders have always pro.
fessed great admiration for the institu-
tions OF this iree country, and bound
less wealth OF love and veneration for the
Constitution OF the United States. And
while making this profession, as all who
live in this Territory are aware, they
have been actively engaged in breaking
the laws OF the land and practically spit
ting upon the instrument they affect to
revere. The late Jere s. Black, one
OF the greatest OF the American jursts
OF his day, said "'rhe man who
says he loves his country, and
yet strikes fatal blow at the organic law
upon which her life depends, shows his
sincerity as Nero proved his iilial affection
when he killed his mother and mutilatcd
her body" That is about the way
the MormOns show their loyalty 10
the Government under which they live.
While protesting their love Of country,
and protesting willingness to uphold
the Constitution and abide by the laws,
they give the lie TO all their fair words by
the foul act OF striking at the country's
most cherished institutions and tramp
ling under foot the constitutional laws
enacted for their maintenance. Such is
Mormon loyalty.

ponents. Every intelligent Gentle in
Utah knows that the Mormons are
neither Republicans nor Democrats
they are simply Mormons, and are willing
to cooperate with either or any party
from which they have reason to expect
the most favors and the greatest immu-
nifty. That is the naked truth, and there
is nothing to be gained by attempting to
attach the odium OF their political senti-
ments or aiiiliaton to either the Demo-
cratic or Republican organizations.

HOME RULE FOR IRELAND.

In the House OF Commons yesterday
Mr.. Gladstone, in a speech Of three and
half hours duration, outlined his
measures for Home Rule in Ireland, and
a close study of his speech cannot fail to
convince American readers that in draft
ing these proposals the cold Man Elo-
quent" has been moved by desire to
see partial justice done to a long-suffering
and shamefully oppressed race.
For many, many years Ireland has
been governed as with rod Of iron. The
lands which should have been inherited
by the natives have been siezed upon
and held by alien tyrants, whose sole
aim seems to have been the plundeiing
of the tenants and the extension over
Ireland OF system OF slavery. And
while the bone and sinew OF the land has
strivcn by toll and the endurance OF un-
untold hardships to make the earth
produce what would suffice to keep
body and soul together and serve
to pay the exorbitant rentals
exacted they have been deprived OF the
representation in governmental affairs
which should have been accorded them,
and held and looked upon more as slaves
working for masters than as free men
living in what is called a free land.
The grievances OF the Irish people have
been many and long endured. The
measures which Mr.. Gladstone has
drafted for their relief will at least dc
them partial justice, and everlasting
shame should be the portion OF those
Englishmen who would longer stand
between the Irish people and the rights
| which this measure would secure to them

A CORRESPONDENT of the Herald sug-
gests the uniformng Of our city police.
The idea is good one, as has been
proven by its adoption in nearly all the
cities of the United States. The only
question here would be the style and
character OF the dress. Ii our police are
to continue the encouragement OF houses
OF prostitution, rs in the Fanny Daven-
port case, we would suggest the adoption
OF one decorated with horizontal stripes,
which would be cheap, tasteful and
highly appropriate, and one which would
not be likely to necessitate change for
the wearers, ii they continue their opera
tions in that line

MURDER WILL OUT.
The Skeleton of Missing Girl Found by Hunter

The Skeleton of Missing Girl Found by Hunters.
A short time since J. Thomas and J. Ode
were ont hunting rabbits in the woods eight or
ten miles from Attleboro, Mass. They started
a rabbit, which ran into pile of brush. Thomas
jumped on to the brush to try and drive out
the rabbit if it was there. As he jumped on
the pile something round and white rolled out,
which they soon found was a human skull.
They then turned over the brush, and the
complete skeleton of q woman was found, with
a braid of dark hair and some portion of cloth
ing clinging to the bleached bones. The skull
showed the marks of bullet made by 81
caliber revolver. The ball had gone completely
through the skull, entering at the right temple
and emerging about an inch above the left
temple. That It was not suicide was evil
dent from the fact that no revolver was
found The mystery regarding this skeleton
seemed to be unfathomable. No one had been
missing in that neighborhood, and there was
no unusual incident that could be brought to
light that could possibly be connected with the
tragedy. The place near where the brush heap
was which concealed the skeleton was much
used taoroughfare, and several Summers ago
many persons passing that way complained of
bad odor. Finally the people OF East Attle-
boro began to suspect that the skeleton was
that of Agnes Long, who disappeared from
AttlebOTo very suddenly in the Fall of 1882,
although there was no suspicion whatever that
she had been foul!y dealt with. Miss Long was
about q years Of age, and a native of East At
ticboro. In the Spring of 1882 she met Geo.
Showers and subsequently, became engaged to
him. Everything went on smoothly with the
lovers until Showers began to pay attention to
Annie E. Godfrey and deserted Miss Long. This
caused considerable trouble with the latter, as
it appears Stowers's attention to her had got the
girl into trouble. However. things were
Strengthened out and he o5tenSibly returned to
his old love. and the marriage was about to
take place when the girl suddenly disappeared,
aud was not heard Of until her skeleton was
found in the woods as above stated. Since her
disappearance Showers married Miss Godfrey.
He is 81 years old, and lives with his wife upon
q farm three miles from Attleboro. When it
was settled beyond doubt that the skeleton was
that of Agnes Long, detectives at once went
out to Stowers's house, but found that he had
left for parts unknown. Charles Snell one of
Agnes's old lovers, has also disappeared since
the skeleton was identified.

One Man Holds q Host at Bay.

Henry A. Steadman, a farmer living near
Oakland, Neb quarreled with one of his men,
Ed johnson, and was killed. Johnson jumped
on horse and fled. An organized mounted
posse started in pursuit Johnson was over
taken IL miles from the scene of the shooting.
He ran into barn on the farm of Charles
Johnson and strongly intrenched himself the
chinks between the boards affording excellent
loop-holes for the use of his weapons, rifle and
a revolver. The barn was surrounded, and
fusillade of shots was begun. The murderer re-
turned almost shot for shot. He was struck in
the leg, but continued to fire and keep his pur-
suers at bay. Reinforcements were sent from
Oakland by the Sheriff, with instructions to
bring Johnson in dead or alive. Charles John
son, the farmer. was killed and several others
wounded. For SO hours the desperate held out,
and finally it was decided to fire the barn and
force him either to surrender or suffer crema-
ton. By some means shed that was attached
to the stable was ignited. The murderer, seeing
the barn was on fire, sent into the crowd about
20 shots. Fire was opened on him with Win
chester rifles from all Sides and it is supposed
he was killed before he could get out. After
the fire had subsidized the remains were found
in large pile of oats which protected him
great deal. Both arms were burned off, and
part of both legs Part of his head was shot
of, and many bullet-holes found lin his body.
1t is thought by some that he was wounded in
his limbs before taking to the barn, or he would
have endeavOred to escape. The body was
raked from the pile of smoking oats and buried
in an adjoining cornfield. The crowd was
bent on taking the charred corpse and feeding
it to the hogs and the Sheriff had hard work
resisting the crowd and according the remains
decent human burial. The murderer was of
light build and five feet six inches tall. He
has been going under the name of Allen
Wright. Johnsons barn, in which he took
refuge, was completely destroyed with its con-
tents The barn and contents were valued at
$4,000, which amount it is supposed the County
will nay

Surrender of Gnrnnimn.

The harassing war which has been carried on
for some time on the Mexican border by q num-
Der of renegade Apaches was brought to a ter
mination last week by the surrender of their
leader. Geronimo. 1t appears that the Apache
campwas attacked by the Mexican troops about
10 miles south Of San Bernadino and a hot
skrmish ensued, during which two Indians
were killed and the forces of Geronimo com
pletely routed. Geronimo and his band fed in
the direction of Lieutenant Maus's camp for
safety and there made an unconditional sur
render. The Mexican troops followed them
across the line into Maus's camp, demanding
them as prisoners, since the fight had occurred
Oh Mexican soil and the victory was theirs
Lieut.. Maus refused to give the prisoners up,
greatly incensing the Mexicans, who threatened
to take them BY force.

Acquitted OF Murder.

Meinhardt Heundling, the young German
who shot Harrison Haskell in the Criminal
Court room at Indianapolis Ind, last Fall,
was acquitted of the charge of murder last
week, after an absence of Is minutes by
the jury. Haskell was a negro who had
assaulted the prisoners sister. In his in
structions to the jury the Judge said: "The
commonly-received doctrine is that an assault
or an assault and battery are the only legal
provocations, but the current history of crime
in this country is that, with rare exceptions,
juries will not convict man of murder for
killing another man who has in any form vio-
lated the virtue and chastity of a female who
stands in the near relation of wife, daughter
or sister to the slayer. This results from a
higher degree of civilization and more ele
waited plane of common sense, that recognizes
the truth that nothing so justly exasperates
and more heats the blood than such an otfense
against a near female relative" The announce
ment of the jurys verdict was received with
cheers by the crowd i'll the courtroom.

Paying Grant and Wards Debts.

Grant & Ward, Mrs. Virginia Corbin, Gen.
Grants sister, WAS invited to place money in
the firm for investment. She called at the
firms Office and was introduced to Ferdinand
Ward. She took dislike TO him, and it is said
told Col. Fred Grant that she believed Ward was
untrustworthy. A few days later Mrs. Corbin
intrusted Col Grant with $4,000, which he in
vested with the firm without her knowledge
When the crash came Gen. Grant, in looking
over the accounts, discovered that the firm
owed Mrs. COrbn this amount. As he was pre-
pairing for the end he charged his family to pay
all the debts caused by his unfortunate connec-
ton with Ward. A day Or two ago Mrs. Grant
sent certified check for SO, 900 to Mrs. Corbin

He Soon Got Tired of Life.

Charles Marks, seven years of age of Bloom
field, n. j., did something last week which he
knew would procure him sound whipping
from his father, so determined to escape the
punishment by leaving this world. Accordingly
he procured rope and repaired to the barn,
informing his mother that he was going to put
up swing. In few minutes, however, she
followed him, and found the youngster sus
pended by the neck from a cross beam. An
overturned bucket was found near the spot,
showing that he had kicked it away when the
rope was properly adjusted. He was cut down
while still alive and was extremely sorry for
what he had done. The little rascal begged
hard that nothing should be said about his act.
His face was purple and red mark encircled
his neck. A physician ordered him to bed at
once, and said there was danger of brain fever.
