TRANSFORM INSANITY.

"Transitory frenzy" was the plea
which Denver young man On trial for
murder, interposed, and dispatch in
this issue Of THE HERALD iaforms ls
that it was so good plea that the jury
acquitted him. Our recollection of the
crime is that a young fellow from the
east with little money and not much
sense hauled up in Denver last
fall. Being disposed to fast" living, his
money SOON introduced him to the
fast" circle, and in a little while he
was paying attention to variety &C
tress. She was the wife of another, or
at least sustained some intimate sort of
relation to the other, but it did not pre-
vent her new-found lover from paying
her attentions, nor her from accepting
them. Finally tae young man pro-
posed marriage, which she good-na-
turedly declined, whereupon be shot
her dead in one Of the dressing rooms
of the theatre. New he has been &C
omitted because when he committed the
deed he was the victim of "transitory
frenzy" 1t was hoped that the tempo
rary insanity act would not be worked
any more, and especially that it could
not be made to succeed; the people
have become thoroughly disguised with
it, and even lawyers smile at their own
impudence when they present it. But
while jurors, through lack of courage
or intelligence, or both, fail to perform
their duty and will allow so fimsy plea
as transitory frenzy to influence them
to acquit murderer, there will not be
wanting lawyers to presentItheplea. Nor
will there be wanting murderers, for
such verdlcts as that recorded in Den
yer are encouraging to murder.

business is the fact that the strike has
been ordered by the Brotherhood of

labor organizations the one which has
stood out against this sort of thing
with most courage and greatest intelli-
gence. It's chief, Arthur, is broad
minded, clear-headed, hard-thinking

persistently leading the Brotherhood
away from entanging alliances with
other organizations. Brakemen, labor.

THE ALEXANDRIA (Ya.) Gazette says:
in an argument before tie Committee
on Territories of the United States
Senate last Saturday il favor Of the
admission OF Utah as a State into the
Union, it was stated that 10 more than
one and one half sper cent. of the men
of that Territory are polygsmists. If
the divorce records in many Gf the
northern States be correct, the per
centsge of polygamy is considerably
greater in them thGa in Utah. BEt as
Utah would be Democratic State, the
chief opposition 60 its admission comes

press and the public, and Chief Arthur
has been regarded as one Of the wisest
and best men connected with union.
The causes leading to this strike have
not been clearly brought out in the
kilograms, but we fear they are not
sufficient to justly the action taken by
the Brotherhood. The very fact that
other engineers are rushing in and
gladly accepting the vacated places fur
Rishes evidence that right or wrong as
to theic grievance the Engineers are
making a mistake in the course they
are pursuing to bring about an adjust
menr. They may, and undoubtedly
will, iniure the business of the railway
comp bpt it is clear they will hurt
themselves more. 1t is proverblally
upwise to bite off the nose to spite the
face, and that seems to be what the
Engineers are doing just now. 1t is
true that as g rule the most skilled,
competent and trustworthy engineers
are members of the Brotherhood, but
what Will this fact avail them if they
cannot find employment and can OBJ
tain nognoney? 1t will not help the
the competent engineers to know that
their interiors are serving the company
in an inferior manner, and obtain
ing good money which should be
paid for efficient service. We are
truly sorry that the Brotherhood of
Locomotive Engineers, with its master
mird at the head, Chief Arthur, has
joined the ugly army OF strikers. By
this action il will necessarily fall ia the
esteem of the public, and its respecta-
bi,ity and trustRorthiness will neces-
sSTily suffer more or less.
There is another feature of this strike
which is interesting. The position which
the Brotherhood has assumed as to
IStrikes has antagonized other organiza-
tions and made it the object Of the
Especial hate of the Knights of Labor, the
great striking machine of America.
/ During the big strike on the Gould rail-
! ways few months ago, the Engineers
refused to unite with the Knights, but
staid with thei. locomotives, thus sadly
Gripping the strikers, AID Fastening the
failure of the latter. Sc, also, in the
recent Reading strike, the Engineers
would not go cut with the Knights, nor
would they give them any sympathy.
Now the Knights are retaliating hy tax
ing the places of the Engineers. This
might have been expected by the
Brotherhood, which has regarded itself
as above the knights.
