FOOLISH HASTE.

If they weren't making such a desper-
ately serious affair of it, one would have to
smile over the Oklahoma business. The
scramble is so determined, and the rush so
earnest as to convey the impression that
the little tract of country to be thrown open
to settlement next Monday is the richest
and most valuable piece OF soil in the
United States, whereas the land is no bet
ter than millions of acres of the public
domain subject to homestead and pre-
emptitn entry 1t is prairie and wood, hill
and dale, like Kansas, Arkansas and Texas,
in all of which states there are many
miles of country which can be had on pre-
cisely the same terms required to obtain
title to homesteads in Oklahoma. If the
mad boomers would hesitate long enough
to reason little they might not be so eager.
BY living on the land five years man can
get "A title to 100 acres, which at the time he
might be able to sell for 800. So long as
there are broad tracts for sale at 81 25 per
acre, and which do not require residence of
five years, Indian territory land will rot sell
for extravagant prices. The men who are
fortunate enough to ssttle in the neighbor-
hood of the prospective towns may be paid
for the time and labor which they put on
their l60-acre claims, but the others will
come to the conclusion long before the
receipt of the homestead patents, that they
were unduly precipitate. The wide west
is full Of public land just as productive and
as eligibly located as that in Oklahoma,
and men do not have to break their necks

WOLFE LoNDoNER, the newly-elected
mayor of Denver, made great anti-election
promises OF reform. He has recently been
installed and inaugurates his reform ad-
ministration by issuing an order requiring
the closing Of the gambling houses at mid
night. Some of the newspapers of the city
speak of the order as if it were thing en-
fitting the mayor to great praise, and as
evidence that the official intends to carry
out his promises. All of which suggests
that they have queer ideas of things on the
other side of the range. Now, if gambling
is illegal, it is as unlawful before ~ o'clock
as after. We cannot see where the reform
comes in which permits, as Mayor LONDON
KRs order implicitly does, the violation of
the law at one time and forbids it at
another The new mayor should try again.
Perhaps he will get around to 1t that i'm
morality and law breaking are the same
things at all hours.

NOT WHITE CAPS.

The White Caps are all wrong. They are
men and men are unreasonable, brutal
creatures who delight in doing mean
things in Il violent sort of way, when there
is little risk of unpleasant consequences
attaching to their actions. But when
women turn regulators and set out to
perform the work which White Caps
usually perform, the case is entirely differ
ent, and instead of calling the ''vigilantes"
law-breakers and brutes, we say they
are the dearest creatures and clap
our hands in their praise. The
wires tell Of an occurrence in Allegan,
Michigan, last week which inclines us to
urge that AT leass Lait.a-dozen women of
that town should have the right Of suffrage
conferred on tbem-if they want to vote.
A man named AURLBUT, IL Allegan, has
been living highly improper life. Among
other wicked acts of which he was guilty,
was the beating of his wife, meek and
modest lady, who sometimes found courage
to object to her husbands department
towards young lady of i'll repute, who
lived in the house by HURLBUT's orders. The
beatings and the goings on generally becom-
ing public, caused a scandal which the viz
tuous ladies Of the town regarded as re
Election on the little community. One even
ing last week six of these angry women,
without any attempt at disguise, but headed
by a man wearing mask, proceeded TO the
residence of the HURLBUTs. They marched
into the house, and in twinkling HURLBUT
was hustled out doors, where the
women vigorously belabored him with
hickory switches. The women whipped
and whipped and the man begged
and prayed for release; finally when
the ladies were exhausted and HURLBUT was
bleeding freely and more dead than alive,
he was allowed to crawl away. His mis-
tress, who had looked on during the castiga-
ton, was then informed that unless sheleft
town Immediately she would be subjected
to similar treatment. She left at once.
Now, if the whippers had been men their
conduct would have been outrageous and
brutal in the extreme, but who will not ap-
plaud the Allegan ladies for their heroic
championship Of the cause of one of their

NO IDENTIFICATION.

The Louisville Courier Journal says that
according to figures read at the late annual
conference of the Mormon church, that
body is not nearing disintegration very
rapidly, and then quotes the statistics
showing the number of members and Of
ficers. No, the Mormon church is not go
ing to pieces, and there is no reason why it
should. In the severe storms of adversely
through which it has passed during the
mast fifty nine years of its existence,
il has demonstrated that there must
be some virtue in it. Neither
the attacks of savage and strong
enemies from without, nor the treason Of
llse friends from within have effected its
steady growth. But through good and Ill
report it has steadily advanced; and in its
darkest hour its members never lost faith
in its destiny as one of the great moral
forces to assist in the regeneration Of the
race. It has already accomplished much
good in the earth, for it has brought tens Of
thousands of people from the poverty and
semi-slavery of the old world and placed
them in a land and assisted to surround them
bv conditions where they have become indie
pendent-their own masters. The worst
enemy to the Mormon church would be

Ican newspapers say U .ah should be kept
out of the Union because Mr.. CANNON, in a

persecution accorded them in other CON-
munities. Furthermore Judge AMBER
son said in his charge to the grand
jury: ''You can receive none but
legal evidence, and the best evidence in
degree, to the exclusion of hearsay or
secondary evidence" Really, if Judge
ANDERSON shall administer the laws in
that spirit in Utah, we may hope for the
future that rumor will not be equivalent to
indictment, and accusation, to conviction,
as in the not long ago, when ZANE, DICK
son and IRELAND ran the court mills. We
hope the reign Of terror is over, and we
are sure that if it be so, respect for the law
and those who administer it may be &C
counted as ensured from the people.

Secretary OF War has authorized the state
ment that the Government is fully aware
of the situation, and has arranged to take

is known that the subject has formed tho
main topic OF discussion az recent Cabinet
meetings, aud that the Attorney General
has been called upon to decide tue question
as to the authority of the War Depart

violence in the newly-opened country.
The Instructions sent to the comm andant
Of the troops in Oklahoma as q result of the
opinion rendered by the Attorney General
were extremely guarded. They are I'M

the maintenance of the law, but to care.
