"PAY OR NO PAYw

Probably the last place to look for wit
with any expectation of hearing its ex-
preston, is in the Territorial Legislature
of Utah, now in session. An incident
occurred this morning that may be al
legged to border upon the brilliant.
The Mormon outfit on assembling for
the usual sit-out of two hours session
to illustrate chow not to do it," were as
whole in rather melancholy state of
mind. Senator Cullom's resolution in the
United States Senate relating to the per
diem of these would-be-solons (the par
ticulars of which were given in last
Saturdays issue fwthe DEMOCRACY
struck these chaps just in the pit of
the stomach. Not yet have they quite
recovered breath. Before the morning
session began, Mclaughlin, of Summit
county (the only Gentle in the Legisla-
ture) rallied the Chaplain upon being
"direlict to duty, of going off before the
close of the session on Saturday last, and
that Representative King had to put
holy period to their work in the Chap
lain's absence by pronouncing benedc-
ton; that the Chaplain was sordid, and
doubt of getting pay for his prayers had
discouraged his piety," ETC. Chaplain
Hall declared solemnly he had to leave
In order to catch train-and just then
the members were called to order by the
Speaker. The Chaplain took his place
at once and proceeded to invoke AL
mighty assistance for the duties of the
day, and in closing his prayer pleaded
"for Divine grace for each member, wis
dom to discharge their whole duty, pa
tience to bear with the wiles of their nu-
merous adversaries, and to come off con-
querors over all assailants, standing
tirmly and unwaveringly in their places
On the walls of Zion, to defend it against
all enemies from without or within, and
10 do all this manfully, PAY OR NO pAYlp'
An enthusiastic outburst of "AMEN!''
came from all parts of the house, and
Speaker Riter's sonorous voice added, az
ully concur" A roar of laughter followed
his sally and continued into quite an
of the morning hours.

Jim All Faw Faw, who has been for
some time in the employ of the Alta Club,
has left for home. Before leaving he stated
to the management that $47, two bottles of
water and four loaves of bread would land
him in the Flowery Kingdom. There are no
more shrewd and exact calculators than
these same Cinnamon; hence it is plain that,
if two bottles of water and four loaves of
bread will take Celestial to Hongkong, one
bottle of water and two loaves of bread will
put Saint in Honolulu. This makes clear

JUDGE SPRAGUE AND THE "TRI-
~BUNE."

In reply to an editorial note which ap-
peared in yesterdays Tribune, U. S.
Commissioner Sprague sends to the DEM
oCRAT the following communication
SALT LAKE CRY, March 8, 1886.
EDITOR DEMOCRAT: I congratulate the
Tribune on its progress towards sanity, as
indicated by its article in Sundays issue. If
so brief a yoking of "the Tribune up in a
team with the Ne,Us" has been the means of
this marked improvement in its manners,
the union ought to continue indefinitely.
To be sure, in order not to be entirely un-
true to itself, it intimates that / quoted
falsely clause, which neither was nor pur-
ported to be O quotation or attempt at
quotations; but this is only a trife, and in
consideration of its comparative fairness, I
will state why did not defend my ruling in
the Treseder case. 1t is
First, and chiefy-Because no judicial
officer, whether he be justice of the peace, or
higher, ought to recognize responsibility for
his rulings to a newspaper, any more than
he should to any other form of street clamor.
Secondly-That paper would publish the
bosh, written by an alleged editor, too, of
claiming a right to instruct courts as to
their duties, is p,in,a facie evidence of in
competency of the writer to understand the
grounds of any ruling whatever.
To say, with the implication that it applies
In any way to the Tribune, sit has, too, as
much interest in the public good as any
court, and is as strenuous as any to prevent
injustice being done," certainly shows that
the fool-killer is remiss in his duty.

The Mormon elders who have been
making converts in northern Alabama, says
the New York Sun, have been firmly invited
to leave the State. They very unwisely de-
cline to go. The Alabama farmers will not
make martyrs of them, but their chances of
getting stripes and even tar and feathers are
excellent. The South is still an old-fash-
loned country, and it has prejudice against
polygamy. The Mormon preachers should
yield to this prejudice before it takes the
form of hickory switches or something

THE SISTERS MEETING.

If ''in multitude of counsellors there
is safety" thenthe frightened priesthood,
girt about with Amazonians in mass
meeting assembled, may take courage.
This, from one standpoint, makes last
Saturdays female gathering at the The
atre a success. But when one remem-
bers that feminine doctors were the
principal speakers and actors on that oc-
casion, the reminder smells rank to
heaven of a defunct corporation and con-
sequent post mortem action. Each of the
quartette of doctors had diagnosed the
case and were in accord on the final de-
cision. They protested against Uncle
Sans heroic treatment of the polygamous
victim, and appealed to Aaronic and Mel
chisedecian systems as authority for their
clamorous protest. They denounced the
homeopathic doses of one wife for one
man, and insisted upon allopathic rem
edies of from seven to nineteen sisters TO
every priest.
Under the nations law" cried one of
the imported healers, ''the seducer and
destroyer had no fear of deputy"
And in this connection, who does not re-
member that unfortunate old man, now
happily in his grave on yonder barren
hillside, who, seduced from his English
home and the faithful wife of his youth,
was decoyed to this polygamous Zion,
and when broken down by old age and
abuse, was, Ion pretense of insanity, sent to
that whited sepulcher on the east bench,
and afterward turned from his own house
to exposure, freezing and death! The
remembrance of that old mans dishonor |
and tragic end should place the seal of
eternal silence on the lips of ''seducers
and destroyers."
Let us turn to less repulsive themes. |
Not only medical science but poetic
fancies graced the stage at that theatrical !
of the daughters of Zion. In
the motley gathering of war vessels on
the Union side during the war of the Re
bellion, there were double-enders -
with sharpened bows where the stern
ought to be. They were built and rugged
o sail either way with equal facility. So,
'he interminable verses of the poetic
daughters of Zion could be read backward,
onward or from the middle, with equal
thyme and reason. Shade of the inn

In one respect the sisters showed their
uperiority over the male brawlers of the
tabernacle. Instead of opening their
mouths only to put their feet into them,
hey came around with rolls of manu-
cript, with fixed ammunition.

and until that money is paid, or some
action taken by them looking toward its
payment, their salaries will be withheld
and applied on account. OF course, it is
only matter of time until the Govern
ment will be reimbursed for every cent it
has advanced to Utah, and in refusing to
make provision for the same these stiff
necked solons are only venting their i'm
potent spite on Uncle Sam by biting off
their own noses. Let 'em bite.

The Senate in session to Utah did say:
"Oh! will you, oh! will you, oh! will you
just stop your darned fooling and start in to
pay
That bill-o, that bill-o, that bill-o?
It's over quarter of a million, you know,
And in part you should paid it long time
ago.
So we'll keep back your wages until you can
show
Receipts for that bill-o, that bill-ov'
Then the solons assembled in Utah did say:
"It's hello, it's hello, it's hello,
To shut off our salaries unless we will pay
That bill-o, that bill-o, that bill-o!
But instructions we've got from our chiefs
hid away,
And nary cent they'll agree we shall pay;
So We'll grin and we'll bear it, and only can

THEY MAY ALL BhEAK DOWN


A considerable minority of the Infamous
Board of Aldermen of 1854 are out of town and
the date of their return is uncertain. But the
majority still stick at home. Because they have
not yet run away some people hastily conclude
that they may be innocent. Did William NJ
Tweed run away7 Not until after he had been
convicted. Did Ferdinand Ward or James D.
Fish seek safety in hight7 Many evIldoers
whose crimes are known make no effort to es-
cape. The ties that bind them to their homes
OF their associates are too strong to break, or
they do not realize fully the extremity they are
in, and linger on, hoping against hope, until they
find themselves behind prison bars.
Some hardened doubters refuse to belie' e
that Jaehne has made any confession. He was
so bold and defiant a few days ago and seemed
to fear the investigation little. that they can
not credit his collapse. But if they will take a
look at him in court to-day, after his experience
with Inspector Byrnes and his days and nights
IN prison, they will see that change has come
over the man. Who was the most defiant, reso-
lutte and stouthearted of the thieves of the Ring
fifteen years ago? William NJ. Tweed But
Tweed's courage gave way in time and all
New Workers remember his confession. Jaehne
was little County Democracy boss. Tweed
was boss of his party and of the city for long
time. The big boss broke down. So did the
little one. Let the wicked Aldermen of 1854
take warning

4 RIGHT OR A PENSIONf

The Rev. Norman Fox has published in The
Baptist Weekly. and also in 1t fying-sheet, an
article on 1.-THE Ethics of the Copyright Cues
ton in which he rebukes the advocates of the
international schemes now before Congress for
assuming too lofty a moral tone. He asserts
that to copy an authors printed book is no
more immoral than to copy the cut of his
whiskers; and in support of this remarkable
theory of right, he argues that according to the
declarations of the whole civilized world j"
there is no property in ideas, because they are
immateral, and the grant of a copyright is
in the nature of pension for public services,
not the recognition of claim for property"
The difficulty about this statement of the
views of the whole civilized world is that it is
IT true. Even if we admit that the Rev. Nor
man Fox is entitled to PROFOUND a novel theory
of ethics we might at least expect that before
he appealed to the whole civilized world for
sanction he would have made some slight in
quiry into the facts. If any point in connection
with literary property is clearly settled by the
jurisprudence of the whole civilized world, it is
that an authors property in his ideas is as COM
plete and positive as his property in any of his
material possessions. Like all other property, it
rests upOn the broad basis of natural right
That is the principle laid down by the highest
authorities in the English courts, from whom
all our copyright law is derived. The Rev
Norman Fox is III fortunately at variance with
long and splendid roll of great jurists-Sir
William Blackstone, Lord Mansfield, Lord
Campbell, Chief Justice Coleridge, all the
courts of England, and-sO far as the question
has been decided here-the highest courts Of
the United States For more Than hundred
and fifty years before any statute of copyright
was in existence the courts recognized an
authors absolute right to his works under the
common law and gave him redress against
piracy. 1t was because the cOmmon-law
remedies proved inadequate that the British
Parliament, on the petition of the authors and
publishers, passed the first copyright law in
ITO. This statute gave the author additional
security, although in what was supposed to be
the higher interest of the public it limited the
duration of the copyright. Nevertheless, the
absolute common-law right, without limitation
of time, was held still to subsist along with the
statute right; and that was the ruling of the
courts until two years before the American
Revolution, when the House of Lords decided
that the comm on-law right had been super
seeded by the statute. Many high authorities,
Lord Mansfield among them, believed this TO be
a serious error but having been declared law
in England, it necessarily became law in the
American colonies Likewise. The copyright law

Mr.. Young's sy stem of bookkeeping is rather

amounted to 800 instead of $500 81; but, i'll
anv event, whatever was paid out was re-

with over $1,7O0,000 of telephone stock

a dollar by the telephone speculation. lie has
lost nothing IN the entire transaction except
his honor; and perhaps that is to be rated as
low in the schedule as "public Office is public
