PLENTY OF BACKBONE.

The Governor of Utah probably under
stands the Mormon character better than
he did before he paid his visit to the Salt
Lake Penitentiary. He evidently thought
that the men imprisoned for illegal cohab-
itation would be softened by their oonfine-
Inent and would promise to obey the laws
Instead, stiff-necked Apostle Snow argued
the truths of Mormonism and the final vic
tory of the Saints. The step was an unfor-
tunate one for the new official, as it will
lead the public to imagine that he lacks the
backbone OF his predecessor. Francisco
Chronicle.
Commenting on the above, the Tusca-
rora Ifmes-Reriew very pithily remarks
"rhe step was not only fortunate but
most sensible one, and Governor Vests
course should convince the public that in.
stead OF lacking, his backbone is fully
equal to that OF his predecessor. His
profier OF executive clemency was but
supplement to the same inducements
held out to the convicted polygamists by
the Courts when sentence is pronounced,
when promise OF future obedience TO the
laws insures the lightest penalty. The
Governors proposition was sanctioned
and encouraged by the other Federal
officers OF the Territory, who are accused
by the Mormons OF usurping power for
the purpose OF persecution, They desired
that he should, by personal observations
and experience, realize the absence OF
sincerity in Mormon professions OF will
ingness to live in accordance with the
Federal laws. The Governors answer
to the stubborn Saints indicates anything
but lack OF backbone, and the probability
is that in less than six months, the polyg.
amists OF Utah will be praying for his re-
moval as fervently as they petitioned the
Mormon God TO relieve them from the
afiiction OF Governor Murray"

HOW OTHERS VIEW IT.

The Portland Ne'Us, among other Re-
publican journals OF tho Coast, was con-
siderably exercised over the Presidents
action in calling for Governor Murray's
resignation, and thought it saw in the
retirement of Murray determination on
the part OF the Administration to
adopt reactionary measures in deal
ing with the Mormons, and
that the new Governor would
see that those measures were carried out.
The Neps, however, in the light of re-
cent developments, is now free to admit
that its mistrust OF the Administration was
delusion, (Which last week Governor
West dispelled by visiting the penitentiary
and interviewing the Mormons convicted
OF polygamy. He found them as unrc.
pentant as jeff, Davis, and rs firm for
polygamy as Davis for the lost cause"
From this, Of course, the News correctly
draws the conclusion that the Admins.
tration cannot fail to perceive that ad-
ditional and still more stringent legisla-
ton, such as will force the Saints either
to live within the laws or quit the
country, will alone suffice to bring them
to their senses, and that in working to
that end Governor West will always be
found doing his whole duty as faithful
and able Executive and true-hue Demo.

LEGISLATION FOR UTAH.

The news that comes from Washington
is most cheering, reviving, as it does, the
hope that Congress will not again
adjourn without giving us such
legislation as will go far toward effect
ually wiping out the great church
and-state and polygamy evils under
which this Territory has so long suffered.
The subcommittee OF the House Ju-
dietary Committee, to whom the Ed
munds bill was referred, are said to
be ready and anxious to report
to the full committee, and we take 1t
for granted that the latter body,
approving the work and joining in the
recommendations for stringent legisla-
ton which the subcommittee are repre-
sented TO have agreed upon, will
in turn report to the House at the earliest
practicable moment and urge the neces.
sity for speedy action upon such meas
ures as may be submitted for considera.
ton. In the meantime, it will do no
harm ii bill shall be reported providing
for special session of the Legisla-
ture, since it would go to the cal
endar and, in all probability, remain
there until after the Edmunds bill is re-
ported; but ii it should not, ii
it should bo given precedence over
the Edmunds bill, its consideration
would only result IN bringing to the
surface those very facts which the Saints
are anxious to keep from the light
OF day, and thus result in making
it clear to Congressman that the
cxigencies Of the case are such
as to demand their favorable action upon
measures intended to be corrective Of the
Mormon evils. The outlook for needed
legislation is brighter to-day than it has
been for many long years.

Democratic Governor, and shall elect a
Democratic Governor without doubt.
Senator Hurst, who has been appointed
to fill tho late Senator Miller's unex-
pired term, will be succeeded by
q Democrat 1t is difficult to say who
he will he. Interstate commerce is the
issue upon which everything turns
in California and If there was nothing
else to defeat the Republicans, the
speech which Senator Leland Stanford
delivered in the Senate the other day, in
which he denied the right OF Congress to
cheaper transportation between East and
West, would go long way to give us the
State. There is no doubt about our carry
ing five Of the six districts.''

DRAW OUT THE TANGS.

The Mormon Herald says that 'the
only way to prevent an adder from sting
ing is to draw out his fangs." Quite
true, and though the Herald did not so
intend to apply it, we think it fits the
Mormon case TO nicely. Here is com
munity OF over 100000 people, enjoying
such privileges as nowhere else in the
civilized world are accorded to citizens or
subjects, fully protected by the Govern
ment in all their rights Of person and
property, free to go and come as they
list and to claim protection abroad
as well as at home, enjoying
the freedom OF speech and press, and
given tho ballot wherewith to place in
Office the men OF their choice-in short,
in all their inalienable rights are they
secured, and to them are accorded all the
privileges which free men anywhere
could ask to be placed in possession of !;
and yet, what do they in return, how
show their appreciation Of, and gratitude
to, this greatest and best government on
the face OF Gods green earth? Why, by
splitting in the face of the Nation, by
trampling underfoot the DEGREES OF the
National Legislature, by asserting
their right to be laws unto
themselves wherever and whenever
they pleased, regardless OF any
man.made laws, and then turning to the
duly constituted authorities of the land
and impudently asking, "What are going
to do about il 2" Thus the adder stings the
bosom that warmed it into life, unwitting
of its innate and migrate propensities
Now, then, since the only way to pre-
vent this adder from further singing
is to draw out its fangs, why
let that be done, and at once. Deprived
of the political control OF this Territory
the Mormon fangs would be drawn Out
the root, and the monster left powerless
to work further injury to its benefactor
Let the experiment be tried, and we are
confident that the result OF the treatment
will be satisfactory to every loyal hear
in the whole country

THE LITTLE BROWN MANS VICES

The attempt OF the clerical friends OF
the Chinese to belittle their vices is very
foolish, ii not immoral. Chinese vices
are as much worse than whisky drink
ing and tobacco smoking as can we'll be
imagined. Their opium dens, their
private courts OF assassination, and their
disgusting habits of life have no counter.
parts in our civilization. When, there
fore, DIR. A. S. Fiske, OF Ithaca, N. Y,
rises, as he did before the Presbyterian
Social Union in Chicago the other night,
to say that opium smoking is not as often
sive as liquor drinking that the private
tribunals OF the Chinese where the
murderous highbinders get their orders
are all right, and that people who
prefer to live in cellars and holes and
feed on vermin are more cleanly that any
other class OF laborers, he exhibits both
ignorance and prejudice. He does not
know what he is talking about, or else he
has an idea OF morality which happily
does not obtain in this country.

A unr.dman,s,, Lax.n,

garb Of . mechanic to Richslieu. the prime
minister Of France, as he was entering his
palace; "Sire, I have made a discovery which
''shall mak rich and great the nation which
..shall develop it. Sire, will you give me an

Richelieu, constantly importuned, finally
ordered the "madman'' imprisoned. Even in
jail he did not desist from declaring his ode
~lusion," which one day attracted the atten-
ton Of q British nobleman, who heard De
Causes story, and developed his discovery Of
steam power!
All great discoveries are at first derided.
Seven years ago . man yet under middle
age, enriched by q business which covered
the continent, found himself suddenly strick-
en- down. When his physicians said recovery
was impossible, he used q now discovery,
which. like all advances in science, had been
opposed bitterly by the schoolmen. Never
theless, it cured him, and out of gratitude
therefor he concentrated a part Of his wealth
to tho spreading OF its merits before the
world. Such i'll brief tx the history of War
ner's safe cure, which was won, according
to the testimony of eminent persons, the most
deserved reputation ever accorded to any

ming on its merits alone the approval Of the

The Providence for Drunkards.

Drunkards enjoy q remarkable immu-
nifty from the consequences of injuries.
One sometimes sees a drunken man
pitched violently from a horse, and when
the bystanders rush to the spot, expect
ing to find him dead, they are astonished
to discover that he has been little in
jured. In his "Scrambles Among the
High Alps" Leslie Stephen tells the
story of a guide who, while drunk, fell
over q precipice so deep that a fall over
it seemed almost c"-tain death, and yet
sustained little injury. Stephen accord
ingly gives his readers the advice neither
not to fall over q prccipice, or to get
thoroughly drunk before doing SO. I
myself saw a man who had thrown him
self, while drunk, ovcr the Dean Bridge,
in Edinburgh, a height of about two
hundred feet, on to the rocky bed of the
stream below. A sober mar would prob
ably have been instantly killed, but this
individual, although he had brodcn both
Of his thigh bones, quickly recovered.
The reason Of this immunity probably is,
that the nerve centres which regulate the
heart and vessels are so much paralyzed
in the drunken man, rs not to be affected
by the shock Of the fall, which in a sober
man would have acted on them so vio-
lently rs to stop the heart, arrest the cir
culation, and cause instant death.

Novelties IL, Millinery,

In millinery the novelties are legion.
Hats and bonnets are covered with
stockingnette, just like the jerseys;
others again with an outer covering
in the form of interviewer piece lace,
made in wool, or netting made Of cord.
Silk beaver hats and bonnets are to
be worn again, and the hats CT 1892,
with crowns diminishing to a point,
are coming in once more. 1t is curious
in Paris to see the height which hats
and bonnets have reached; they tower
six inches above the face, and are
singularly ~unbecoming to English
physiognomy. The feathers in hats in
the French capital are placed at the
side, seven or eight together, while in
front there is a narrow oblong metal
buckle, at least four inches deep. Felt
hats and bonnets are to be had In every
shade; light blue, light green, grass
green, Or heliotrope-even bright yell

Marriage and Kirkins Customs.

Marriage and Kirkin9 Customs.
1t was formerly the custom in muny

diately after the wedding to walk
round the church unattended by the
bridegroom. And matrimony was

and May
If you are fond Of proverbs always say,
No lass proves thrifty who is wed in May.
After baptism the first meat that the
company tasted was croWdie, a mix
ture of meal and water or meal and
ale. Of this every person took three
%spoonfuls. The mother never set
about any work till she had been
kirked. In the Church Of Scotland
there is no ceremony observed on such
occasions, but in this instance the
woman, attended by some Of her neigh
bors. entered the church, sometimes
in service time, but often when it was
empty, went out again, walked round
it, and then returned home. 1t hap
pened that after baptism the father
placed a basket filed with bread and
cheese on the pot-hook hung sus-
pended over the fire in the middle Of
the room in which the company were.
and the child was handed across the
fire with the design to Illustrate all
attempts of evil spirits or evil eyes.
This custom seems to have been de-
signed as a publication, and was of
idolatrous origin, as the Israelites
made their children to pass through
the fire to Moloch.-"OM Scottish Gus
