REQUIRES ALTERATION.

A BILL "relating TO fugitives
from justiceD has been introduced
in the Legislative Council and re-
ferred to the committee on judiciary.
When reported back it will probably
be after it has undergone a process
of trimming. Its object is to en-
power the Governor TO take steps to
secure the return TO this Territory OF
fugitives from justice charged with
the violation of the laws Of Utah.
Defining the extent Of the authority
intended to be conferred in that re-
gard, it provides that he 1.-THE Gov
ernor) may 'sdemand from the ex-
ecutive authority Of any State, or
other Territory, or from the execu-
tive of any foreign government, the
surrender to the authorities Of this
Territory of such fugitive from jus
tice," etc.
The Governor might make the
demand on the executive Of any |
foreign government" for the surren-
charged with violation
of the Territorial laws, but the re-
suit would be as successful as when
one "calls up spirits from the Vastly
wouldn't come. The
Governor of a Territory is a local
official and has no authority TO
.reat, on any subject, with the rep
Of foreign governments.
All correspondence in that line
must be done through the national
secretary Of State. No such power
an be conferred upon any person
by a Territorial or
ven a State legislative body.

ion, that member Of a Legislature

DENISE OF A MISSIONARY.

IT becomes our painful duty to
record an unusual and sad incident
the death abroad of one of the
missionaries Of the Church of Jesus
Christ of Latter-day Saints. A dis
patch received today from Apostle
George Teasdale, dated at Liver
pool, gives the intelligence that will
bring pang Of sorrow to the hearts
Of thousands besides the immediate
family and relatives of Elder Edgar
Dilworth Simmons, who was called
last summer to preach the Gospel
In Asia Minor. The telegram states
that Elder Grau has written to
Elder Stucki, at Berne, informing
him that on Tuesday, February 18th,
Elder Edgar Simmons died of small
pox. He was at the time laboring
in Turkey.
Elder Simmons home was in the
Twentieth Ward of this city. He
was twenty-six years ofage, aud I'M
married. One of his brothers is
Elder Joseph F. Simmons, Second
Counselor to Bishop George Rom
ney- Another brother is now
on a mission to Holland. Be
fore his departure for the mis-
sionary field, the deceased was an
employee Of the Union National
Bank in this city. He was n young
man Of great worth, being highly
esteemed on account Of his spotless
and upright character, and his
general faithfulness as a Latter-day
Saint. The demise of this excellent
young man on the opposite side of
the globe from his home and loved
ones will be a special blow to his
widowed mother, while pang of
sorrow will strike the hearts Of the
community generally when they
learn Of the event. 1t can be truly
said CT Edgar that he fell at the post
Of duty and his reward in the
hereafter is assured.

SINGULAR AND SIGNIFICANT
SCENE.

THE following from Cincinnati,
Ohio, under date of the 18th inst.
was net among the regular dis.
patches Of the Associated Press. AS
it describes a unique and signif-
cant scene, pointing to the general
tendency toward contempt of law
and authority, We present it:
'Tntense excitement prevailed on
the police force this afternoon. Chief
Deitzch, at the head Of Ia company of
fifty men. with their commanding Of
ficers. stood in readiness to prevent a
demonstration, which Col. Deitzch des-
iguated as anarchist, at any cost. A
German society OF heretofore excellent
repute called the 'Rhinelanders,, has
for several days past been advertising
a ball to be given this evening at the
Turner Hall. A parade was an
nounced for this division for this Alter
noon as an advertisement for
the evening festivities. An escort
of police was asked for, and
a large detail ordered out by
superintendent Deitsch proceeded 10
the rendezvous this afternoon. Mean
while, however, startling rumors
came TO police headquarters. II was
said that the society had prepared
for display in the parade a huge
float, mounted upon a transfer wagon.

A general outstretching of the
human mind is characteristic OF
the times. knowledge is a gener-
al and communicative thing. and
jealousy at its progress is ordinari-
" the index of its wants. You
cannot arrest the progress Of edu-
cation, but YOU may insist that
the education should be moral at
any rate; a blessing. not a curse;
and save the land from being COW
cred with that widest and most
nngoyernabie Of all populations, a
populatio mighty alike IN intel
lect andzsSgodlin0ss. A popula-
ton that knows everything but
God, emancipated from all ignor-
anee but that which is sure to
breed the worst lawlessness con-
eeivable. An uneducated popula-
tion may be degraded; a popula-
tian educated, but notin godlinese,
will be ungovernable. The one
may be slavery. the other must be
tyranny. Aside from every theo-
logical system, the moral element
has always determined the true
value of civilization. Virtue has
meant safety, vice has meant dan
cor
