MARKED WITH HIS OWN BRAND.

THE "Liberal'' candidate for
Delegate to Congress has repeated
again and again through the Glib
eral" organ the falsehood that,
every Mormon convention ever
held in this Territory has been COM
PEELED to nominate the ticket die
tated by the chiefs Of the Church,
and every Mormon voter has been
compelled to vote for it." When
the statement has been emphatically
denied, ard the members OF the
conventions and thousands of voters
have been ready to make oath that
it is false and without any founda-
ton in truth, and that they have
been completely free in the exercise
Of the voting power, the daily
libeler has replied that ''denial is
J not proof"
} The burden Of proof is upon the
person or paper making the state
ment, not upon those who dispute
it. We have challenged this manu-
facturer of falsehood, time and
again, to give some proof Of his as
sertions. The only definite attempt
to do this has been the statement
that ''The father Of Sep. Sears, when
asked why he supported in conven-
ton a candidate whom he knew to
be totally unfit, he answered: q did
it because l had to.'''
We have personally interviewed
the gentleman named in this inven-
ton of the "Liberal'' organs, and
he emphatically denies having made
any such remark; also that he ever
bad occasion TO do so; also that he
was a member Of or present at the
convention referred to. We pub
lished this several days ago. But
since then, when pressed for proof
Of the daily libel about "Mormon''
compulsory voting, the shameless
scribe has repeated the lie about Mr..
Sears.
Now let him Withdraw his asser-
ton, say he was in error, cease to
repeat his baseless falsehoOd, or take
to himself one Of his many pet
epithets that We dislike to repeat,
but which he mistakes for argu-
ment, and stand branded with it
before the public-"A hired lar"

Alleged Criminal LIbeIs.

PHILADELPHIA, Oct. 27--ROber
L. Pattison, democratic candidate
for governor of Pennsylvania, swore
out warrants Of arrest this morning
in the proceedings for criminal libel
against the publisher and editor Of
the Inquirer, the proprietor Of the
North american and the publisher
and editor of the Harrisburg Cal. A

The three papers mentioned pub
lished on Saturday morning charges
that Pattison had been bribed by the
Vanderbilts TO sign what were
known as the South Pennsylvania
bills Of '53, that the ex governor
sought out and retained ex-Judge

message, and that having received it
with the understanding that it was
to be sent to the legislature, he
changed his mind by next morning,
anu without notice TO Judge Black;

BRIGHAM CITY, Utah,

Oct. 2i,h, 1890.
Eiiitor Deserei Nelrs;
"wodld you please intern me,
through the columns Of your paper,
on the following points:
"What are the rights that the Nor
mon population in Idaho are deprived
Of?
When was citizenship, and the
other rights above mentioned. taken
from them, and by what laws and
processes?
"Was it through the workings OF
the Republican party that the Nor
mons were deprived OF these rights'
by giving me information on the
above matters you would greatly
oblige. n. A"
The rights Of which the ';Mor-
mons" in Idaho have been de-
prived, are those political rights
which are exercised by all citizens
OF the United States over twenty
one years Of age in that Territory
the right to vote, to hold office and
to sit on juries. These are denied
them by the Constitution Of the
State Of Idaho. Membership in a
certain church or association is
made the test Of political disability.
"Citizenship" is not taken from
any person, either in Idaho or else
where, by law on constitution. 1t
is certain rights and privileges that
grow out Of citizenship which have
been taken from the "Mormons" Of
Idaho. Those who have thus been
stripped of political power are still
citizens Of the United States and Of
the State OF Idaho. Their citizen

SCIENTIFIC NOTES.
BY PROF. W. T. FOSTER.

The accepted theory about coal
formations is popular fallscy and
those who think for themselves, in
stead Of adopting the ideas Of others,
without question, are beginning TO
seriously doubt, not only the theory
Of the origin Of coal, but the gen
eral theory as to the origin Of the
earth. The idea that coal had its
origin In vegetation is to geology
what the theory that the earth was
the center Of the universe was to
astronomy. Reasoning from the
true origin Of the earth geologists
would meet with fewer difficulties.
Our school books teach that coal
was formed from den sc, gigantic,
rapid growing vegetation. In order
to make the theory appear reason
able the scientists Of that school say
that great forests would spring up
in a night and then, from some un-
accountable cause, the waters by
sinking Of the earth would cover
these vegetable accumulations after
which they would be covered by
earth, which denominations for ages
would furnish the necessary weight
for pressing the vegetable mold into
coal. AS there are about $50 stratas
Of coal in the earth 1t would re-
quire that many su5mersions in
each locality in order to form these
coal stratas. This invention is like
those Of the ancient astronomers
trying TO fit the movements of the
stars and planets to the theory that
the earth was the centre of the uni
verse. II | had been inventing a
theory / would have claimed that
coal is formed Of sea weed like We
now find in the Saryasso Sea in the
centre Of the north Atlantic whirl.
That sea weed forms a vast bed Of
vegetable matter and when the At
lantie fills up from drift Of the con-
tinents and the continents sink to
fill up the holes made by the burn
ing out Of volcanoes that sea will
be under heavy pressure Of earth,
and il coal is formed in that way
that sea weed will certainly become
bed Of coal in future geological
ages. But l do not believe that coal
is thus formed but is a part of the
earth's Accommodations from space, a
more complete explanation Of which
| viii give in my future notes.

most INFAMOUS blot that appears
upon the annals OF idaho. 1t was
passed by the Territorial Legislature
in December 1854. Its validity was
upheld by the courts OF the Terri.
tory, and finally by the Supreme
Court of the United States, the last
named judicial body installing the
grounds upon which objection to it
was made, and incorporating in
its opinion, as arguments Of coun-
sci, sentiments they neither ex-

And some who cast their votes were
prosecuted for doing so. \ number
Of these cases are still pending, as
twas alleged that their withdrawal
was not actual hut only pretended.
Thus, whether members OF the
prescribed church or not, citizens
were denied the right ofthe exercise
of the suffrage, because Of their
utilization or supposed sympathetic
connection with the mormon"
Church, which is tantamount to
Acknowledgement AMI punishment
for belief.
The Republican party is chiefly
responsible for these entertainments
upon constitutional principles and
privileges. But IL it had not been
for some two-faced AMI treseherous
pretended Democrats, the infamy
could never have been consum-
mated. The Democratic party in
Idaho could have prevented the
wrong if the party had been sincere,
whole-hearted and courageous. But
while some Of its members stood up
manfully for sound Democratic doc
trine and policy, Others, for place or
pelf, worked into the hands of the en-
envy, and so aided in DISTINGUISHING a
large number Of Mormon Demo-
Gratis and fastening Republican rule
upon the Territory and upon the
new State.
For further Information on these
points, We refer our correspondent
to the test oath OF the Idaho Legis-
lature and to the anti -"AIormon''
provisions Of the State Constitution,
which have already been published
several times. Time brings many
changes, and a people possessed OF

bondage or wear the shackles which
bigOtry, intolerance and the malice
OF thwarted ambition have been
the means Of fastening upon them.

A Conductor Hurt.

This morning Frank Pickering, a
conductor in an open electric car
running on the Twentieth Ward
and Sixth Street line, was passing
along the size Of the car collecting
fares. The side he was on was next
10 a line of poles belonging to the
electric light works, and he mad
vertently extended his foot a short
distance from the side Of the car.
The latter was just passing a pole,
which was struck by the conductors

tween the knee and the ankle, botn
bones being fractured. This acct
dent would indicate the necessity
OF setting those poles farther from
the track.

THE ToJETTI SALE.
Choice Paintings Going at Ridiculously
Low Prices.

CnOlce faIntlDSS uOiuS at h1UlculOuSiy
Low Prices.
There was large number of people
present last evening at the opening of the
sale of oil paintings by the celebrated
painter, E. Tojetti, at Turner Hall, but
there were few buyers among them. and
the few that plucked up courage enough to
bid on the pictures offered secured wonder
full bargains.
The audience was assured that any
picture offered for sale, on which more
than one bid was made, would be Sold
regardless of the sacrifice, and the prices
at which they were started indicated
plainly that it rested wholly with those
present as to the figures at which the
pictures would be sold. 1t was announced
prior to the sale that frames for only about
one-third the pictures had been received,
but that more were expected to-day.
The first picture offered was 1.-THE
Artists Model the studio price on which
was given as $125. It was the profile of
brunette, showing beautiful cast of feat
ures, neck and shoulder 1t was started at
$25, and was knocked down to w. J. Nc
Carly for $32 SO.
Theenext one placed on the easel was
"Frou-Frou," which was started at $40,
and fell to G. T. James for the very modest
sum of $27 so.
"Cupids Call :" one of the choicest of the
small canvases in the collection, and a
beautiful piece of drawing and coloring,
next went to R. C. Richards for $15, sum
that would scarcely pay for the frame and
canvas.
The fourth one placed before the audi
ence, for sale, was The Amateur Sculptor
Somebody got up pluck enough to bid $25
on it, but all the eloquence of the auc-
tioneer could not procure another bid, and
it was taken down.
The same result followed when Media.
tion,' THE Shepherdess," the Italian
Peasant Grip and Cupid" were offered
there was but one bid on each, ranging
from $40 up.
E. Miller was the only other buyer He
secured 1.-The Amateur Critic for $35.
The other pictures will remain on ex-
hibition to-day and this evening there will
be another sale.
The paintings speak for themselves, and
connoisseurs are invited to call and ex-
anime them. There is no limit on them,
and any picture will be sold on which
more than one bid is offered. Among
those remaining unsold are some that
TOjetti regards as the best of his work. He
is about to leave for Europe, and declares
that this is the only time he has ever offered
his pictures at public sale. He has painted
a number of pictures that now grace the
palatial residences of the wealthiest Cali
fornians, and have won admiration in
European art circles.

THE GAS WELL.
What an Analysis of the Water There
from Has Revealed.

What an Analysis OF the wafer 1here-
from Has Revealed.
| John Eitel, the well-known chemist and
metallurgist, has made analysis OF the ar
tesian water from the gas well at Fifth and
| R streets. He finds it charged with chic
rides. carbonates and sulphates, associated
with sodium, potassium, calcium magne-
SUM, also silica and trace of ammonia.
The chlorides predominant as common
cooking salt.
From the analysis thus far made, Mr..
Eitel concludes that the water is not desir-
able for drinking or culinary purposes. al
though he regards it as of fair quality.
A perfect gas analysis, he says, can only
be carried out in large and well regulated
chemical laboratories, but with the instru-
ments at hand, and apparatus constructed,
the tests made assured him that no COM
bustible gas has yet been found. That
which has been emitted thus far lis not all
carbonic acid, as some may image when a
gas is non combustible and passes from a
well such as this, where no smell is at
tached when sulphurated hydrogen is pres
ent"
1t is claimed that in wells where gas has
been struck the flow of water which pre-
ceded it has been of the saline quality
mentioned by Mr.. Eitel as coming from
the we'll in this city. All things consid-
cred, therefore, it would seem that the pro-
moters of the local enterprise have reason
to feel encouraged over the results thus far
obtained. Even though the water that has
been struck may possess strong mineral
properties, there is no telling what may be
the quality of other veins tapped at greater
depths, and there is reason to hope that,
even though gas may not be found in suf-
ficient quantity to make it valuable, a large
supply of pure artesian water may be de-
Veloped.

QUARRELING WOMEN.

Their Personal Animosities Result in Po-
lice Court Proceedings.
Mrs. George Parkes was on trial in the
Police Court yesterday, the charge being
that of disturbing the peace of Mrs. Emma
Grant. The disturbance took place on Sat-
urday night last, during the progress of
the fire at Twelfth and K streets. Mrs.
Grant and Mrs. Parkes, it appears, had
both been members of a Good Templar
Lodge, but some time ago charges made
against the latter by Mrs. Grant were sus-
tanned and Mrs. Parkes was dismissed. On
Saturday evening the two ladies met each
other, and Mrs. Parkes addressed an insult
ing remark to Mrs. Grant, hence the ar
rest.
Judge Buckley found the defendant
guilty and ordered her to appear for SEN
tence on Thursday.
A Mrs. Wallace and daughter had been
subpened by the prosecution, and when
they arrived at the police station the elder
lady proceeded to give Mrs. Grant a fierce
tongue-lashing for bringing her into police
circles. Quite commotion, though for
tunately of short duration, was created in
City ATTORNEY Harris office.
