SPENCER on OBEDIENCE TO GOV.
EMINENT.

In place of the doctrine that the duty
of obedience TO the governing agent is
unoualified. there arises the doctrine
that the will OF the citizens is supreme,
and the governing agent exists merely
10 carry out their will Nor
is this all. 1t becomes a duty 20
resist irresponsible government. and
also TO resist the excuses OF
responsible government. There arises
a tendency in mino1ties to disobey even
the legislature deputed by the majority.
when it interferes in certain ways; and
their oppositions to laws they condemn
as inequitable, from time 10 time cause
the abolition OF them. With which
changes of political theory and accom-
panyiug sentiment is joined a belief,
implied or avowei, that the combined
actions OF the social aggregate have for
their end to maintain the conditions
under which individual lives may be
satisfactorily carried on; il place OF the
old belief that individual lives haze for
their end the maintenance of their
aggregates combined actions Herbert
Spence.
Il works about on the same principle,
according to Mr.. Spencer, that man
was not made for the Sabbath, but the
Sabbath for man. Man was not made
for, the government, but goyernmentfor
man. Mr.. speucer's doctrine in this par
ticular may not please the fancy of those
who delight to quote him in part
when discussing the issues arising from
Mormonism. But We believe his doc
trine on obedience TO laws. What ad-
vancement the world has made 10 due
to the men-often esteemed heTetics
and traitors-who refused to submit TO
the tyranny of kings and Psrlisments,
when their reason and conscienees told
them the edicts and enactments were
subversive Of their rights. There is
something noble in a man or commun-
ity who won't mind until their reason
is convinced, and their consciencSs ap-
prove the obedience. And there is
always hope for such men.

BEECHER's RETURN.

Henry Ward Beecher returned from
his European tour rather quietly, and
refused TO say anything whatever to
the reporters. The meeting between
Mr.. Beecher and DR.. Gallagher was
hearty. To the Dr., Mr.. Beeeher spoke
briefly of his satisfaction at getting
home, however pleasant his journey in
other lands might have been. II told
Mr.. Beecher," said the DR.. in relating
the circumstance, "that what he said
reminded me of Goldsmith's lines:
where'er roam, whatever realms see,
Ny heart uutrammeled fondly turns 20 thee.
Still 10 my brother turns, with ceaseless
pain,
chaini
THAT is just how l felt" responded Mr..
Bescher, only you have put it into poetry"
Then the DR.. gave him the old Irish
welcome:
Come in the evening or come in the morn
ing.
Come when you're looked for or come with
out warning,
Kisses and welcome you'll fad here before
YOU"

Sunset Cox Expects War.

On his return to New York Sunday
Minister Cox was asked:
How does the eastern question look
to your"
Matters at present look very blue.
War Is liable to occur at any moment.
To explain the situation properly would
take some time. Russia wants Constan-
tinople,' is the old saying, and this
time she will get pretty near there. She
hrst wants Bulgaria, and is near getting
II. Her hostility to Prince Alexander
was well known. He was made TO run,
but came back again. The next time he
must have thought there was no use of
fighting Russian influence so he went
away Of his own free will. This. I
think, was very foolish. The people
were all with him, and he might lust as
well have remained. Now Russia will
get Bulgaria, tnen Eastern Roumelia
and she is over the Balkans and within
stones throw of Constantinople. The
treaty OF Berlin says Russia must stop
at the mountains but what does she
care for this? Did she not fortify Ba-
toum right in the face OF Europe aud the
treaty? England, to be sure. made a
slight protest, but what good did il 40 ,
OF course, when Russia makes this
move there will be great row. Austria
IS looking with envious ewes on part of
that territory, aud If she can get
Germany's help she will fight for il.
When We were at Bucharest the streets
were full Of Russian officers, who talked
very loudly about what they would do.

YESTERDAY afternoon the Knights OF
Labor ordered out all the men working
in the packing houses in Chicago. The
men IN three of the large establish
ments quit work at o'clock. But the
men az work in Armour's seemed to
hesitate about obeying the order, and
Il is questionable whether they will
strike or not. 1t will be remembered
that Armours men had an experience
lately IN striking, which they are not
anxious, apparently TO repeat. Twenty
i've thousand workmen will be thrown
ont of employment in this strike. and
1t Val be strange, indeed. L acts Of vio-
lence do not follow.

ONE WHO CULTIVATED THE Art.

The Tribune of Saturday morning

one o. the msly reporters of that
burg. From tkat interview II would

made Against the Eeith of the Nesmons;
and cries aloud FOR more legislation.
We could forgive him for al that If it
we're not Tor his ineScusable and down
right lyinC-thst is, of course, assuming
that the gentleman has been correctly
reported. AS an exsdnple Of his fslsity,
take thefollowing:
A an instance OF Norxaon injustice, re-
fer 70 our tanning Ebe farms are watsred
by 8 system OF artificial irrigation. The
streams are all controlled by the Mormsns
and those fG-ners who are not members OF
the Mormon Church get nc water. OF II any
Mormon farmer abandons the church. his
water supply is interfered With. The result
az this is that enterprisinE men will no
come on 70 our land. This same spirit of
tyTannsesl discrimination psryades the en-
tire Territory. We are, Therefore, a stand

Fudge! A man who would take the
position OF the Tribune's scribe is an
idiot rather than an editor. Like the
patriots of the Revolution. like some OF
the ancient prophets, the primatiye
Christians, and the Puritans, the Nor
mons, are contending for what they be-
Iieye to be their religious and political
rights; they are making q manful
resistance to what they believe to be
and what is, oppression, under circum
stances the most discouraging. Those
inflicting the hardships and practising
the tyranny upon them by casting
them into prison, and filming them,
like Oppressors and prosecutors in all
ages of the world and in all countries
are telling their victims they are not
prosecuting them or depressing them
they only want them to promise to obey
the law, that the rest of Us obey and
this thing will stop" 1t looks very
simple. And no doubt the people Of
Utah ought to feel grateful to the wise
man who points out this means Of
escape to theml But they stop; and
they ask what that promise means
And they discover that it means the
casting of as unclean things the women
who have walked by their side for many
years as their honored wives, and who
have born to them large families of
lovely children; it means 2 reputation
of their most sacred VOWS over the mar
rage alter; it means infidelity to their
God, and a forsaking of their religion {:
II means humble and quiet submission
to laws which every faculty OF their
minds, and every sentiment OF their
hearts, tells them are infamous and
cruel 1t means surrendering their
rights Of conscience, and sacrificing
their personal honor to please political
adventures who have come into their
midst and by their appeals to the
prejudice of the people OF the
United States, and their misrepre-
sensations. have manufactured the
popular sentiment which clamored for
the passage of the present anita Mormon
laws, and which may insist uponthe
enactment of still harsher measures
and while peace and security. and i'm
munity from interference are most de-
sirable, no people can afford to pay the
price demanded of the Mormons for
the enjoyment OF even these great
blessings.

Of the candidate for Congress in this
Territory: John T. Game has a walk
over for delegate against the Demo.

The walk-oyer is all right enough, but
it is put in such a shape as to convey
the idea that John T. Game is not q
Democrat, an iInputation that is alto
gether false. And furthermore, he was
eiectel By Democratic votes.

destroying them as the law directed
