ANOTHER sTR1BUNE,, FALsEHooD
The Tribune OF this morning saws

The Tribune of this morning says:
Following the statement of the DEMooRAT
that Gentle jury will convict Mormon
here with or without evidence, it reiterates
that Hampton was convicted by a sspacked
jury" and without evidence
That is one of the most barefaced false
hoods that the Tribune ever told, and
that is saying good deal. The Demo-
Graf has never said that Hampton was
convicted by spacked jury" and never
having said that, it is impossible for the
DEMOCRAT to reiterate it. The only pos
sible motive that could have actuated
the Tribune to make such an as
sertion is the desire to put the
DEMOCRAT in false light, and the reason
for this desire is that the DEMOCRAT does
not choose to play the music that the
Tribune delights in. For any paper to
make such statement about another
without any foundation whatever is
somewhat surprising even in the journal
which holds the foremost place among
newspapers for thousand miles in either
direction. This is one of the specimen
facts of which the Tribune is always so
sure. They are very sure facts, are they

IT lately came to light in the English
Probate Court that a man named Pound
had lived with two wives for fifteen years.
He divided his time between them, and
each thought when he was absent that he
was away on business. He was on the
happiest terms with them both. He
passed Wibh one wife as Mr.. Jackson, and
bequeathed. her money under that name.
1t was agreed that the property he ac-
quired under the name of Pound should
go to wife Pound, and that under Jackson
to wife Jackson. But for his testament
tary dispositions the women would prob
ably have been in ignorance Of the real
state of things to this hour.

THE UTAH COMMISSION.

The discussion in the Senate yesterday
on the new Edmunds bill brought the
Utah Commission into prominence. SEN.
ator Van Wyck offered an amendment to
the bill dispensing with the Commission.
He estimated the Commission at its true
worth. It is cumbersome and expen-
sive piece of governmental machinery,
and should be abolished. Senator Van
Wyck said that the officers of the army
could do the work just as well as the.
Commission. This is true, but the plan;
is objectionable because it places the adj
ministration of civil affairs in the hands
of the military, a thing justifable only
under the most critical and extraordinary
circumstances. The plan which we have
advocated all along is far more preferable
that the work of the Commission be
done by the Governor, Secretary and
Chief Justice OF the Territory, with per-
haps the aid of the Probate Judge in each
county when appointing election officers
for the county. The work which the
Commission do is almost entirely clerical
work, and whatever responsibility there
is attaching to the work of the Commits
sion. save the disbursements of funds.
falls upon the County Registrars and
Deputy Registrars. The Offices of the
Commissioners are nothing but sinecures;
in fact they are as much sinecures as some
of the Royalty offices of England. The
duties pertaining to the Commission
are almost nominal, while the expense at
which they are had is enormous. The
expense is a thing which concerns the
General Government and not the Terri
tory, but the Government should none
the less reduce this useless expense.
What magic change there would be in
Utah if the Commission were abolished
and the same amount of money which it
now takes to run that institution were
applied to the creation of more courts
and an increase in the prosecuting force.
If the Government would but apply the
1000 which it now expends on the
Utah Commission to the enforcement of
the laws against polygamyl If this were
done, these thousands SO applied might
save the country many millions yet. The
Commission is highly ornamental, while
a more extensive enforcement of the |
laws against polygamy would be most
useful and beneficial. If the Govern
ment has $4,000 to spare, let it apply
that amount to increasing the courts and
the prosecuting force in Utah.
