A QUESTION OF vERACITY.

The DEMOCRAT published statement
on Saturday last from citizen long resi-
dent of and highly respected in Salt Lake,
in which it was charged the Rev. DIR.
McNiece used the following language in
his address to the graduating class OF the
Collegiate Institute on the previous even
ing: "You know as well as /, that no
decent man or woman can live in this
world without embracing Christianity"
Yesterdays Tribune contained a local
paragraph, denying the use OF such an
expression, or of any words that could be
construed into such meaning. Had Dr.
McNiece desired to contradict the state
ment, doubtless the columns OF the Trib-
me were open to him, and since he did
not contradict it, his silence is construed
as acknowledging the charge. The DEM
tive citizens, all of whom are well known
to DR.. McNeice and the Tribune, and re-
spected by both of them, who aver upon
their honor that the words were used,
and who at the moment OF their speaking
looked in CONSERVATION, each in the others s
face and exchanged expressions of amaze
ment. In the absence of denial by Dr..
McNeice, the DEMOCRAT assumes he did
use the expression, but believes the
words to be an error of the head rather
than of the heart. Upon occasions sim
liar to the one under consideration, a
speaker, desirous of impressing certain
facts upon youthful minds, is apt to use
form of expression totally differ
ent from his ordinary style o.
addressing an adult audience, and doubt
less the reverend gentleman sought tc
impress the children with the necessity
Of becoming professed Christians, and
used the foregoing rather questionable
phrase to do it, In the absence of @
knowledge of the reverend gentleman's
position regarding the matter, criticism
would be unfair, hence we pass it by
hoping he will yet set himself right be
fore many of his audience, some Of whom
are the parents of children in the class
and all OF whom are friends of the insti
tuition, yet unable to claim they are
Christians within the lines drawn by DIR

The distressing intelligence comes
from Parowan that the pestiferous Jack
rabbits are overrunning the country
thereabouts, bringing desolation, devas-
tation and ruin with them. As misery
loves company We are free to inform the
Paronwanites that this Stake OF Zion is
overrun with the pestilerous Jack Nor
mons, and that we are all in sackcloth
and ashes in consequence. We will
gladly swap with the Parowanites and
give chrome to boot.

"FOR FAMILY REASONS. ,

When the electric current flashes the
news to the country that shooting has
occurred in some city or town, and that
it was done for 'family reasons" how
little the average reader weighs the
blighted lives on which it stamps its
burning impress. One Harris was shot
and mortally wounded by Sidney
Coombs, OF Williamsburg, n. Y, last
week, for seducing Coombs's wife. In
the hospital Harris stated that Coombs
had previously broken three pairs OF
opera glasses over his head "for family
reasons" 1t is the old story of trust
ing friend, taking viper into his family
to turn and sting him. In the long list
OF human depravities, none is blacker or
more despicable than seduction, and
when the fiend enters the family circle
TO throw his blighting influences around
the altar OF home, the measure OF foul
guilt is filled, and the demon of unnatural
lust wrecks at one fell swoop the honor
and chastity OF a hitherto blameless and
happy life. The language contains no
adequate expression with which to stig-
matize such wretch, and the coarsest
and vilest OF earth's fallen creatures, side
by side with the pure and good, join in
universal maledctions on his head. En-
tering the charmed circle of home in the
guise OF a friend, he secretly gloats over
the many family jars that he sees, and,
viper-lke, crawls between husband and
wife, where weak femininity will permit
it, damning forever their hope of heaven,
and bringing, before its time, a hell to
them here on earth. The crime OF se-
ducing maidenhood is black enough to
sink to .perdition the soul OF its author,
but when the inhuman beast invades the
sanctity of home, and pollutes with his
presence the source OF all human happi-
ness and the fountain-head of all social
stability, the written law OF mankind
fails 10 furnish an adequate remedy, and
outraged conjugal love is forced to follow
its natural impulse, and destroy the mis-
creant. There should be no written law
for furnishing man for defending the
honor of his home, and the seducer
should be made TO know that there is an
unwritten law, more binding than the
allied work OF all human jurists, which,
as sure as the earth's rotation brings
night and day, will bring to him and
his kind, a vengeance so swift and fatal
as to brand his sin unholy in the sight oi

God and man, and the criminal unworthy
TO live among his fellow-men. When
the mind embraces the pitiable condition
OF the agonized husband in New York,
human nature, in its innate love OF justice
cannot but hope that jury Of his peers
will say, "He did his duty only, and we
hold him blameless,"
