CRUELTY AND TYRANNY.

Sherman, in his memorable reply to
the Mayor of Atlanta, when that official
begged him not to burn the city and
leave women and children without a
cover, said, among other things, "War is
cruelty, you cannot refine it." At the
time this remark was written, and under
the peculiar circumstances with which
he and his armies were surrounded, the
laws of civilized warfare sanctioned the
destruction of the city after due notice
had been given TO remove all non-com-
batants, and perhaps the hardest duty
Sherman's army ever performed was the
destruction of that city, bringing, as
it did, such suffering to hundreds
of women and children who were
driven to the woods for shelter, or sub
jected to the chances of war by remain
ing. The officers commanding the men
who obeyed the order were half-hearted
in their work, and the telling of expert
ences in the Posts of the Grand Army
proves that the men shut their eyes to
much that the order called for them to
see, and many poor people were in con-
sequence spared the loss of their little
all. 1t was cruel performance, but the
attitude of Hood and his army rendered
the destruction necessary. Again, when
the Potomac Army lay at Falmouth many
desertions occurred daily, owing to the
rigors OF the winter in shelter tents,''
and the disheartened condition of the
men. When Hooker took command he
at once ordered the shooting of all
deserters and his order was carried out.
1t was necessary TO preserve the discip-
line of an army in the field, and must be
done. When these men were brought
ont for execution they were placed in a
row, sitting on their collins, blindfolded
with white patch pinned over their
hearts, and the whole army was mar
shalled in a square TO see the bloody
work done. The men selected to do the
shooting did not know whether their guns
held ball or blank cartridge and could
not tell until after firing. They did know
that their erstwhile comrades had to die,
and the greatest kindness possible to
them was to kill them instantly by tax
ing good aim, and yet some of this
firing party knew the condemned

WILL OBEY THE LAW.

Mr.. f. A. Cooper, of West Jordan, in
the District Court yesterday pleaded
guilty to two indictments for unlawful
cohabitation, and in view of his promis.
ing to obey the law in the future, SEN
tence was suspended to give the defendant
an opportunity to prove his good faith by
adherence to his agreement. Mr.. Cooper
had just served term in the Penitentiary
and during his confinement had ample
opportunity to reflect upon the situation,
and it is to be hoped that his determina-
ton was a matter of conscience rather
than policy. He will, of course, be ostra-
cised by his former associates in the Nor
mon Church, but the respect he will gain
from the better element of the COM
munity in which he resides, will more
than compensate him for the loss of fell
lowship in the circle in which he has
heretofore moved. There are hundreds
of others who would gladly follow
the course of Mr.. Cooper, but
who lack the moral courage to
encounter the persecution which they will
have to undergo, from those who consider
obedience to the laws the most heinous
ottense that can be committed against
the reasonable institution which con-
trolls the local political affairs of the Ter
ritory. With the fact before their ewes
that President Taylor, Apostle Cannon
and scores of other prominent tithe eaters
are skulking on the underground to avoid
the penalty which they urge their de-
luded followers to accept, it seems strange
indeed that so many of the latter are will
ing to become martyrs to cause cham
pioned and led by men whose
is evinced by their failure to
practice themselves what they so per-
urge as the religious duty of
others. 1t is apparent, however, that the
billiards are slowly awakening to sense
of the duplicity of their leaders, who are
making them the victims of the law,
while they manage to avoid its penalties, |

PLEURO-PNEUMONIA.

OF the great leading industries OF the
West, cattle raising is one, and for the
benefit of the thousands who gain live
lihood by it, the laws governing the dis
position of diseased cattle should be
carefully enforced, no matter who loses
individually, or whether the Government
foots the bill or not In Chicago just
now, a great scare exists, caused by the
discovery of pleuro-pneumonia among
some 5000 head OF beef cattle in the
distilleries of that city. In explanation
of this fact, we state that thousands OF
beef cattle are fattened at these distil-
leries on the refuse of the material used
in making whisky. Chicago has the
largest beef-canning and dressed-beet
trade in the country, receiving orders
from all over the world for beef,
and in consequence affords the largest
market for our cattlemen of the West.
1t will, therefore, be readily seen how
important it is to crush out the disease in
its first stages, and thus protect the mar
ket. 1t appears that the State appropri-
alton for the reimbursement OF owners
whose cattle become afflicted with the
disease, and are ordered killed by the
State Veterinarian, is not sufficient to pay
for all the cattle diseased. This should
not lead to the prolonging OF their lives,
as the State Legislature and the National
Congress will undoubtedly appropriate
the necessary funds, and pay fairly for
all cattle so killed. The danger to busi-
ness is far greater than one would believe
at first sight, as anything that touches
the first interest of cattle-raisers, 4. e.,
their market, goes on down through
the thousand industries tributary to it
and the loss would be enormous. This
trouble is not new one in Illinois, in
which State the cattle have suffered more
from this disease than in any other, and
nothing but the neglect OF her people per-
mits it to exist and come to the front
annually. The profits on cattle kept at
distilleries is one of the largest sources Of
revenue to the owners, but if it was
known for a certain fact that this dread
disease was attri butable to the class of
food given the cattle in such places, no
time should be lost in procuring the pas
sage of stringent law making such feed
ing unlawful, and severely furnishing
those who disobeyed the law. The inter-
ests at stake are national interests, and
should not be subjected to the will of the
people of any one locality.
