JE NE sAIS QUOI.

Judge ZANE's ruling on the mandamus
cases possesses one distinctive and I'm
eouivoeal quality-it creates no surprise.
THE HERALD is not legal journal in the
professional sense of the term, while being
strictly so when the word is applied as an
ANALYTICAL term, and thus it does not pro
fess to be able to impale either his honor or
his ruling. 1t does, however, seem little
singular that men who are selected for the
places which they claim to fill because OF
rank partisanship should be permitted to
Judge as court would of the qualifications
of those who belong to the opposing party.
If one entirely strange to the community
and disposed to do the fair and proper
thing as between man and man were to
have such a case submitted to him,
we would not look for such decision as
that of Judge ZANE-but then the other fel-
low might not be one skilled in the arts,
usages and application Of law, as is his
honor.
To say that lot of henchmen-and re-
cent events Justify US in saying swash-
bucklers-of INSCRIPTIONS political man
agement are exercising merely perfunctory
power until and unless they run against the
snag of polygamy-in which event they can
exercise the inclinings Of their ewn sweet
willis peculiar, and more peculiar when
those worthless who make and unmake
voters at their option have only to come to
the conclusion within and Of themselves
that an applicant for registration is polyg-
amist to be authorized to reject him ;evidence
does not seem to have been or likely to be
required in such connection. But then,
Judge ZANE understands the law and our
marvel at his course is simply the out
cropping of wondering and wonderful ig-
norance, no doubt.
And another thing that fails to per colate
through the hardness Of our capital osse-
GUS structure is this: That at least three
of the men who applied for registration
and concerning whom the mandamus suit
was brought, are not and never were po-
lvgamists. Under the ruling OF the court
one would think that these men would be
entitled to come forward and be enrolled
among those to whom belong the glorious
right of suffrage in this part of the
republic, and yet in the same
act the court refuses a perem-
tory order the object of which
would be the placing of those very mems
names on the list 1t is awfully, queerly,
wondrous. The law has become too abb
struse system of philosophy for the COM
prehension of dull and limited intellects

QUITE CHARACTERISTIC.

The grand jury report staggers our sanity
contemporaries. One frantically calls attention
to Tooele as though whatever might be the rec
ord of Tooele-which, by the way, shows no
manner OF fraud save what was perpetrated by
Mormon officials-ft would in the least change
the gloomy record made here. There is no at
tempt made to combat the figures, only to turn
them aside. For instance, the sending of men
to Bingham to serve on election day in the in
terest of the Peoples party, one paper tries TO
show that the wording of the receipt was
through ignorance or inadvertence, just put in
''playfully."
There are liars and those who are simply
perverters; and the Salt Lake Tribune,
from which the above extract is taken, en-
Joys the rare distinction of being both.
We say enjoys advisedly, for undoubt-
eddy it does enjoy anything that is utterly
untruthful, unjust and unfair.
The "frantic'' manner in which Tooele
was referred to in THE HERALD review Of
the grand jury report (and of course this
paper is meant) was one of the quietest,
gentlest and most easy-going sentences
that ever fell from the point of Faber.
So far from being frantic, it was
hardly up to the writer's stand
ard of animation. Furthermore, the rec
ord of Tooele does show gross and
malignant fraud on the part Of the Liberal
officials and shows none on the part of the
Peoples party. There was no attempt to
combat figures, for the reason that the
figures had no especial application to the
matter in hand; and the concluding part of
the extract, that this Cor any other) paper
tried to show that the wording of the re-
ceipt was through ignorance or inadver-
tence, just put in playfully" is such lie as
only the Salt Lake Tribune writer can per-
petrate and afterward sleep soundly. A
comparison was drawn, in which the con-
dition suggested was imagined for the pur-
pose of pointing conclusion, and the fool
and knave. as well as liar, uses the
imaginary condition presented as though
we had offered it as an actual fact
But what is the use of quarreling with
iackass or telling skunk that his peculiar
line of perfume is not pleasant

WHAT MUST THEY THINK OF THEN
SELVES?

In conversation, some weeks ago, with a
gentleman from New York, the writer
learned that the others experience was
that any kind of story on earth about the
Mormons was legal tender in his state, and
that when the truth was told about them it
was with difficulty that people could be
lsa,.1 to accept it. He gave some Of his
own personal experience in the matter.
The first time he visited this
city, upon his return home he In
formed a company of his friends that
he had found Salt Lake one Of the
pleasantest places that he had ever visited,
that it was well governed and was very
quiet and peaceful place. His friends,
one and all, felt assured that he must have
been mistaken.
After he had had occasion to visit US a
number of times, he testified to the honesty
and business integrity of the people to be
found here and that they were also sincere
and honest in their religion as well as in
their financial affairs. Finding that his
friends continued to look wise, and seeing
that they would not accept OF his state
ment he concluded, upon his next visit
that he would tell a few soul-harrowine

FoR A few days past the public has been
wondering about the arrests for conspiracy
and the cause therefor. We do not pre-
tend to explain the matter, but we are in
clined to trace the cause to Russian infiu-
enza. Note these facts, and the explana-
ton will not seem paradoxical: London
has suffered severely from influenza and
still is suffering. simultaneously with this
epidemic Solicitor ARTHUR NEWTON, Clerk
TAYLOR ana Interpreter DEeALA are ar
rested in London for conspiring to defeat
Justice in the West End scandal. Russian
influenza makes its appearance in New
York and Boston, and Immediately detec
tive starts to arrest Grand Master Work
man PowDERLY for conspiracy, is not this
strange? 1t is believed that there is mild
phase of influenza in Salt Lake, and every
body, except the grand jury, pure, good
souls is charged with conspiracy. After
such an array of facts, who will have the
temerity to say that influenza is not the
cause of conspiracy! Influenza must be
arrested

Lexington Presbytery.

At the session of Lexington Presbytery
in Waynesboro last week. Rev. G. A. Will
son, Moderator, there were 20 ministers and
30 laymen present.
The clerical changes made were as fol-
lows Rev. John A. Preston was dismissed
to North Alabama Presbytery, the pastoral
relations of Rev. w. A. Dabney to Oxford
church were dissolved, f. P. Sydenstricker,
a senior in Union Theological Seminary,
was called to Phillippi church, the pastoral
relations of Rev. D. M. Layton to Beulah
and Stony Run churches were dissolved and
Rev. A. F. Laird directed to visit these
churches, G. r. Womeldorf of Timber
Ridge, now student at Washington & Lee
University, was taken under the care OF
the Presbytery, and Rev. H. r. Smith was
directed to spend the month of August in
missionary work in Gilmer and adjoin-
ing West Virginia counties.
During the session Rev. DR.. III. FL.
Halves read a paper on ''The Obstacles
to Presbyterian growth, and the Remedies
therefor, - and Rev. Dr.. James Murray read
another on s'The adaptability OF the Pres
byterian polity to the aggressive work of
the church.
Burnsville and Sutton churches, BraX-
ton county, W. Va, heretofore i'll connec-
ton with the West Virginia Presbytery OF
the Northern General Assembly, were re-
ceived under the care of Presbytery on
their own urgent application, made after
trying and failing to secure an answer to
the request made of their own Presbytery
for dismission to it's care.
The following Commissioners to the Gen
eral Assembly, which meets i'll Chattanoo-
ga next month, were elected: Revs. L. B.
Johnston and r. G. Walker, Elders 7. M.
Smiley, of New Providence church, and W.

A Magic City in Alabama.

We have received from Mr.. r. G. Ander-
son, former Train Dispatcher of the G. q
O. Ry. here, and now Train Master on the
Georgia Pacific Railway, a handsome pam
pllet containing an illustrated history of
Admission. In another column of this paper
We publish circular-letter from MI III. W
Hilleary, formerly Of Warrenton, a nephew
of Capt. H. M. McIlhanY of this city, and a
responsible business man of Admission, also
setting forth the advantages of the same
city. 1t is in truth q wonderful City. 1t is
literally founded on iron, and in making the
street openings, iron ore was dug out and
sent to the furnaces. To this iron it owns
it's existence as a city. Sixteen years ago an
iron furnace was built there, followed six
years later by another. AS always follows,
two years later an immense cotton factory
was built and the city started on it's remark
able career. There are now four iron fur
naces using charcoal and two using coke, and
to these have been rapidly added the indus
tries named in MI. Hilleary7s letter. What
strikes the reader Of the Railway pamphlet.
is the monthly payroll Of salaries and wages
at Admission, which amour is to $217 $50
and included in this is the wages of 6,164
workingmen. The entire population is over
10000. What is peculiar in the history of the
town is that it has never had boom, and
yet so steadily has it progressed, that to-
day there are ST. ,420 900 capital invested in
IT, and the value of the annual products is
$S,975, 500. The photographs Of its public
buildings and great industrial works,
show that it is modern i'll every re-
spect and the city is solid one. Noble
Street, which we presume is the principal
thoroughfare, has the appearance Of slice
off of New York S Broadway, and its
hotels, schools and churches have a splendor
about them indicating progressive and
money making population. Its statistics
may be found in MI. Hilleary's circular
letter, to which we refer the reader.

A Touching Tribute.
A FLORAL EASTER CROSS PLACED BY THE
CHILDREN ON JUDGE SIIEFFEY's

A FLORAL EASTER CROSS PLACED BY THE
CHILDREN ON JUDGE sIIEFFEY's
GRAVE.
Bishop A. NJ Randolph, Assistant Bishop
of the Diocese of Virginia, i'll his sermon
at Trinity church on Sunday morning, pad
an eloquent tribute to the memory OF
the late Judge Hugh w. Sheffey, whose
familiar form was absent from its pew for
the first time in many Easter mornings. lie
said that he was a loss to the Whole church
which could not be supplied at this time.
Without excepting bishops, priests, OIL lay
men, he was the man of the most influence
in the whole church in the conventions
of the church. The Bishops further refer
enceS to him aside from the church councils,
and simply as Christian man, were very
touching, and before he had concluded a
large portion of the congregation were in
tears.
In the afternoon, another beautiful and
touching tribute was paid to him by the
children of the Sunday School, which was
for so many years an object of the deepest in
terest to him. This is the Centennial year
of the Protestant Episcopal Church, and its
Sabbath Schools are raising a fund to COM
it. On Sunday afternoon in the
Chapel of Trinity church there was a meet
ing for the children, at which each one
came forward and deposited with Maj. II.
M. Bell, the Superintendent, their centen-
NAL gift Of money. AS they did so, each
one laid down little bouquet, chiefly of the
wild flowers of Spring. On the platform
was cross some four feet high pierced with
little holes into which the bouquets were
placed. When the giving was over, the
cross had changed into one of flowers. The
children of the school then formed into a
and headed by Bishop Randolph
and Rev. w. @. Hullihen, the rector,
out to the cemetery bearing the
cross of flowers, which was placed at the
head of Judge Sheffeys grave. The sun was
just setting and its slanting rays Illuminated
the cross. There was no ceremony and no
words-all was done in silence. Perhaps,
the thought that was in all hearts there, was
uttered by the Bishop, as he turned away:
s'Who of us can say that he does not see all
this ?''
Judge Sheffey S long connection with the
Episcopal Church may be inferred from the
fact that he had often said that when he
was first a communicate, the average num-
ber of the communicates who approached
the chancel rail was three. He represented
this parish in the Diocesan Council as long
ago as 1910, nearly q half-century, and be-
fore he was member of the Vestry.
