a SOLEMN WARNING.

In our columns this morning will be
found a proclamation from Governor
West in relation to violating the
marriage laws enacted by Congress for
Utah. twill be seen that the Governor
calls attention to the PROSECUTING carried
on by the Mormon Church in tn
United States and foreign countries
He says the Church, in its places of
worship, through its public teachers
and press, prOeiaims the right and duty
of its members TO violate the law of the
land in relation to marriage.
Directs attention to the fact tfSat
many Of the leaders of the Church are
II hiding, to avoid the process of the
courts for alleged violations OF the Law
marriage.
And further relates that the courts
are continually bardened with the trial

BATOUM.

On the eastern shore Of the Black
Sea is a little town Of some five thou
sand inhabitants, the recent disputes
about which are likely to be the cause
of serious complications between the
great powers Of Europe.
The town is located about los miles
northeast of Trebizond, and in the
middle ages was a place of some i'm
portance, as it was in this place in
former centuries, that the Persian pro-
ducts found their way 10 the European
markets. A number of Greek ruins
bear witness to the grandeur the place
some time must have attained to; but
now that grandeur has departed. Still,
Batoum has good harbor, and a trade
of more or less importance is still car
ried on. The principal exports being
honeY, wax, and oak for shipbuilding.
Batoum formerly belonged to Turkey,
but in the changes made at the mem
orable treaty of Berlin, Batoum, to-
gether with Ardahan and Kars, was
ceded by Turkey to Russia; with the
understanding that Batoum, in conse-
queace of its commercial importance.
should be a free port. That is, a port
where the vessels of all nations may su-
gage in trade without let or hindrance,
and without the payment of custom
duties to Russia. This part of the
treaty is fixed by the 59th article of the
Berlin treaty.
Quite recently, however, within the
present month, Russia has closed the
port OF Batoum, so that it is no longer
free port. and the other European
powers protest against this act of Rus
81, and may make out of it oaste,
,elH.
Austria has taken special umbraee at |
he action Of Russia, since her trade
With Batoum has been considerable, and
her commerce has been injured to the
'xtent OF her trade at that port. Though
England IS less injured in a commercial
way than Austria. still her protest is
carcely less pronounced than Austria's.

NOT UsURPArIoN.

TIE HERALD cannot help the belief
that the President is doing wrong as q
matter Of policy, il not as a matter of
right, in vetoing few private ension
bills. The saving effected is so trifiing
as to amount y absolutely nothing in
the aggregate. As an economic effort
it is giving too much for a little. The
President should tackle some of the
big steals, or perhaps it would be better
to designate them the big reckless ap-
preparations, and not waste all his en-
ergy in trying to close the spigot, while
the bung-hole remains open. II Mr..
Cleveland win drop this petty bust
ness and make a good square fight
against the pension system which
squanders millions without doing a
corresponding amount Of good, he will
loom up as a statesman instead of
plodding along as carper.
However, THE HERALD lacks much of
agreeing with those Republican Senators
and Representatives who are denouuc-
ing Mr.. Cleveland on account of his
vetoes. They seem to think that he has
no right to veto a measure that has
been agreed to aud passed by both
houses of Congress; in a speech the
other day, berating the President for
sending back a bunch OF pension bills
by his objections to their
passage, a Representative declared the
Presidents course was one Of "usurpa-
Iion." The Constitution which school
boys studied and were taught to rever-
.nce, reads that "every bill which shall
have passed the House of Representas
ives and the Senate shall, before it
becomes a law, be presented to the
President of the United States. If he
approve he shall sign it, but if not he
hall return it with his objections to
hat house in which it shall have orr
mated" Ii may. be that the RepubIi-
ans have disregarded the Constitute
o long that they have forgotten what it
avs; or it may be that the Republicans
ave adopted a version of the Copstitu-
ion which reads that the President
hall sign all bills which are presented
D him as having been passed by the
louise and Senate.

PETITION FOR HOME RULE.


The home rule agitation set in pro
gressive motion by Gladstone is bearing
fruit. and the grand old man, old as be
is. may live to see the principle of this
establishments OF which he Is devoting the
final energies Of an energetic life,
firmly fxetiact, In the United King
dom Just now the people are expressing
a decided negative to the proposition to
grant home rule TO Ireland, and while
they are doing this 4 petition to the
Queen bearing 10000 signatures is COM
ing across the waters from North
Queensland, prs, ing for separation
from the South and an independent local
government for the colony. The petit
ton is signed by very nearly all the
electors in North Queensland, the
prayer for home rule being practically
unanimous. The people do not desire
to Withdraw their allegiance from the
paternal government. their love for
and faith in the empire being as firm as
if they dwelt under the shadows OF
Westminster; they merely ask what
people everywhere are beginning 10
think belongs to them as a matter Of
human right, home rule, or local self
government. II is probable that the
prayer of the petition viii be granted,
as no good excuse can be found for re-
fusing the request. Every time the
imperial government yields TO such
demand it helps along, perhaps IN
knowingly. it may be with full knowl-
edge of the results, q principle which
must ere long be recognized as a fixed
fact all over this broad globe. ImDeri-
alism has presided so long that it may
in special instances, require an eItraor-
binary effort to dislodge iC, as in the
case Of struggling Ireland, but that Il
will be forced to surrender, evenJo the
bound and gagged Irish, the most IN
compromising advocates of centralized
government should be able TO foresee.
