secure the submission of the Const-
tutional Amendment prohibiting the

and to be especially vigilant in cir
culating petitions therefor. We
hope to see his plan adopted, and a

Hlair's Pension Bill.

There is much of great importance
in Senator Blair's Pension Bill that
must commend it 10 the careful atten'
ton of those who believe in doing
justice to the brave boys in blue.
That clause which provides that evil
dence Of mans having been mus
tered into the United States service
snail be held conclusive evidence of
the soundness Of his bodily condition
al the time of mastering is both just
and full of the plainest common
sense. If the man was found to be
sound enough for service by the ex-
aiming officers at the time when his
services were called for by the Gov
eminent, it does not, and never has
seemed to us to be in keeping with
fairness and equity for the Nation to
repudiate the certificate OF its own
sworn examiners when he whose SER
vices they accepted declares that he
was really in good health, and which
they testified to at the time Of his en-
tering into the service. In other
words, if man was pronounced
healthy enough to Dear the fattues and
undergo the dangers of the conflict into
which he was TO enter, that should be
jbylmd fdeic evidence that he was in
such bodily condition as to entitle
him to participate in such benefits
provided for the disabled soldier, as
the law should fix without further
evidence as to physical condition at
the time of enlistment. The other
clauses of the bill are equally in har-
mony with justice and equity and
commend themselves to the good
sense of the people, while that which
increases the pension of the soldiers
orphan from 81 to S. month is Ger
tainly to be specially commended
as the former sum is utterly made
quate to theproper care and educa-
ton OF the child.

The Public Debt.

| The March debt statement shows a re.
duction for the month of over 1924, 900 600
and for the nine months Of the current fis-
cal year of 1857 200, 0G0 against about $45,-
900, 900 of the same nine months of the
preceding year. In addition to a reduc.
ton of 10000, 900, in the bonded debt
since March L. there has been reduction
of SIS 600, 900 in outstanding gold certif-
Gates, and S., 100000 in outstanding GER
tificates of deposit. The increased liabil-
ties are s., 000, 600 on account of outstand.

The net gold in the Treasury shows an in-
crease Of 81 ,2l5,4 S7, the amount now held
free from certificates being $l5l .379, 424.

month. 1t will thus be seen that of the
SIS 900, 600 silver certificates surrendered
during the month fully one-half were ex-
changed for gold for export. The aggre-
gate Of the gold fund now foots up $242.-
1876
The number. of standard silver dollars
on hand deducting outstanding certificates
is S86, $40 ,668, an increase ofs$SO0, 900 since
March l. A comparison with the figures
for March shows an unusually favorable
exhibit in the silver fund. Notwithstand-
ing the redemption of about $4,000, 900 in
certificates and the output Of nearly a
like amount from the mints, the net in
crease in the number of these dollars now
held is less than 100000.
In the unavailable assets or fractional
coins held, there is no material change.
The net balance is SIC, 1881 ,O99, an in
crease of $4,000. 900 for the month. Ac-
cording to the former method of stating
the liabilities and assets this balance would
be $215, 9S1 ,O4S.
The receipts for the month were $780,
100000. an increase of 100000 oyer
March, 1885. The greater portion Of this
increase, at least three-fourths came from
customs.

certained that 1853 members will vote.
for the bill, 70 against it, and p are
classified as doubtful. These figures show
that the bill could pass by a majority vote
if it could be gotten before the House. It
is not likely, however, that the bill can
be brought forward in the regular way and
it friends fear that the only chance they
will have to reach it will be upon
motion to suspend the rules. This wonld
require two-thirds vote, and the result

A BAD BREAK.

The cause of the condemned Chicago
Anarchists has not been helped by the
dastardly attempt on the life of Harry
Gilmer, as reported elsewhere in this
issue. Gilmer was a witness for the
State on the occasion of the trial of the
Anarchists, and il was his testimony
which connected Spies and Schwab with
the Hsymarket bomb-throwing. On
Sunday night an attempt was made to
murder Gilmer as he was entering his
house, the bullet passing between his
legs and lodging in the door post. I'm
doubtedly the would be assassin was q
friend of the condemned men, and in a
spirit of revenge, and with the view to
striking terror TO the hearts of others
who know aught of the doings of the
Anarchists, he tried to kill Gilmer. His
failure is charged to his nervousness.
A deed like this destroys sympathy for
the Anarchists and their cause. a good
many people are in the habit
of believing there is more or
less OF virtue in the appeals Of
the Anarchists, but no honest
person can justify murder for the ad
vancement of any cause, and wneu re j.
yenge is the motive of the murder the
matter becomes worse, and must be
denounced by all people protesting q
sense Of decency. With honestagitation,
no matter how vain or foolish the oc-
casion, there will be no fault found, but
the American sentiment is such that it
will not approve q cause or its advocates
which employs or countenances assass-
ination as one of its agencies. The
man who fred the shot at Harry Gilmer
may have imagined he was serving his
friends in prison, but if he were wise he
would know that their worst enemy
could have done nothing which would
do more 10 ALLEVIATE and destroy what
ever of popular sympathy may have ex-
Isted for the condemned men.

OUR LOCAL columns contain a brief
account OF tie killing By an injured
husband of the man who had debsuched
his wife. The tragedy occurred at
Kanab in the southern part Of the
Territory. The reputation Of the
slayer seems to be decidedly unsayory :
it was while he was in the Penitentiary
serving a term for grand larceny, that
his wife fell victim 20 the lust of the
man who has now suffered sn ignO-
minious death as the penalty for his
lecheTy. Such tragedies as the one re-
ferred 20 have been rare in Utah, but
when they have occurred the popular
voice has approved the killing. There
Is an unwritten law which iustihesl an
injured husband, father or brother in
taking the life OF the man who has
despoiled the wife, daughter or sister,
and we hold that it speaks well for the
morals of community in which that
Law asserts itself. We know nothing of
the particulars of the Hslliday-Dobson
affair beyond what is contained in the
brief telegram telling Of the killing, but
if the cause for the deed is as alleged,
the husband is to be applauded ra.her
than condemned.
