Gen. Sheridan Seriously Ill.

WASHINGTON, May 25.-Gen. Sheri-
dan is Z very sick man and physicians are
in constant attendance upon him. His
trouble is valvular affection of the heart
and he had several alarming sinking
spells from which he rallied with difficulty,
the last being the most severe of all. The
failure Of the hearts action has brought
him near to deaths door more than once
and the fear is that a recurrence Of the
trouble may take him away suddenly at
any moment.
At IL o'clock DIR. Yarrow said to a re-
porter: Il feel quite uneasy this morning
about Gen. Sheridan, but when l saw
him in the afternoon | noticed a change
for the better. He was additionally i'm
proved tonight when | left him. He is
cheerful and walks up and down his room
and | felt assured that the danger point
has passed."

WASHINGTON, May 25.- The tariff
sub committee of the senate committee
on finance, held Its first meeting to-day
at which a general discussion of plans and
purposes took place. 1t is probable that
there will be a substantial agreement upon
the administrative features of the tariff
bill; also in respect to the removal of the
incongruities of the present customs law
and placing a number of new articles on
the free list, but beyond this point it is
expected the subcommittee will divide
upon strictly party lines.

In . mormon Sunday school.

It Is easy to see how largely the foreign
element prevails here among the Nor
raons. There were in Utah In 1880 about
1900 foreigners to 100. 900 natives, and
since then there have been about ID, 900
Mormon immigrants. These immigrants
are chiefly English and Scandinavians
and you may see Swedish faces every
where. In the Sunday school which ]
visited there was a Swedish class which
was taught In the Swedish language.
This Sunday school is worthy Of men,
ton. After the administration Of the
sacrament the school divided mp into
classes, and In these classes the sexes
were always separated. During my visit
one Of the teachers kept constantly with
me as went from class to class, and IL
seemed to me that the teaching was
largely for the benefit of the visitors rather
than for the scholars. I was offered
the Book Of Mormon" and asked TO read
with the pupils in turn as the reading
went around the class. After reading q
chapter young man explained it much
as we Gentiles do in one of our Christian
prayer meetings, and he told us how q
branch of the Israelites came to the
American continent and how the Lord
again appeared upon the earth and chose
his apostles here. He told how the rec
ord of his teachings in America among
the aboriginal tribes was transcribed upon
the golden plates of the "Book Of Nor.
mon, and how these were found In the
state of New York. It was interesting az
romance. but grew tired before he was
through and left.-Salt Lake Letter.

He Revolts Against Cruelty,

It is rather in others and for others that
the modern civilized man breads pain. He
finds it harder to know that other men are
suffering the pains of cold or hunger in
Kansas or Ireland or India; or that "pris-
oners of poverty" are working for pit
tances in the great cities; or that laboring
men are driven to work sixteen hours q
day; or that criminals are tortured or mis-
treated in the chain gang; or that ''politi-
Gals" are driven to insanity in the Russian
state prisons. He resents and Furnishes
cruelty to animals where his great grand
father, perhaps, thought nothing of send
ing slave to the whipping post. He re-
volts even against harshness in just
punishment, and desires to alleviate some
of the horrors of hanging. If he ignores
case of cruelty, it is from lack of ON
niscience; let him know about it, and the
world shall know his feelings about it.
Wherefore and Copley might go on for
years telling Englishnen of the horrors
of the middle passage and of all the vii
lainies of tho slave trade; and still the
slave ships sailed out from Liverpool, and
the slave trade was represented In parlia-
ment. Cruelty in more recent times lives
by stealth and bushes to find itself IA
nous in the newspaper pillory.-The
Century.

Most people regard those who violate
the law with hatred. They do not take
into consideration the circumstances.
They do not believe that man is perpetu-
ally acted upon. They throw out of con-
sideration the effect of poverty, of neces-
sity, and, above all, of opportunity. For
these reasons they regard criminals with
feelings of revenge. They wish to see
them punished. They want them impris-
oned or hanged. They donot think the
law has been indicated unless somebody
has been outraged. Hook at these things
from an entirely different point of view.
I regard these people who are in the
clutches Of the law not only as unfortu-
mates, but, for the most part, rs victims.
You may call them victims Of nature, or
of nations, or of governments; It makes no
difference, they are victims. Under the
same circumstances the very persons who
punish them would be punished. But
whether the criminal is victim or not.
the honest man, the industrious man, has
the right to defend the product Of his
labor. He who sows and plows should
be allowed to reap, and he who endeavors
to take from him his harvest is what we
call criminal; and 1t is the business Of
society to protect the honest from the dis
honest. New York World Interview.
