MIGRATORY MUTTONS.

LAST fall a large number Of sheer
were sold to dealers in Kansas CITY.
Missouri, and shipped from Utah to
that State. One firm alone in this
city disposed of $1,000 head. These
migratory muttons are now being
returned to this Territory in dressed
form and sold in the butchers shops
OF this city, the price paid for
them being 10 cents per pound
by the carcass. The price OF
meat is on the steady rise in
this market. If the incline pro-
crosses much further it will become
a scarce article on the tables of DOOR
people. The cause of it is that cattle
and sheep have been swept off by
thousands, throughout this western
region, by the severity of the
weather.
An inevitable effect will be. in
time, commensurate rise in the
prices Of wooden fabrics and shoe
leather, because Of the diminution of
the supply Of raw material used in
the manufacture of those produc-
tions.

PRESIDENT WOODRUFF'S
BIRTHDAY.

TODAY March lst 1890 is the
s3rd anniversary Of the birthday OF
President Wilford Woodruff: Con-
sideriug the hardships he has en-
dured and the unvarying activity Of
his life he is probably the best pre-
served man of his age in this gene
ration. He is hale, hearty, quick
and active physically, while his
mental faculties are also phenomen-
ally clear. The labors of his life
have been ofan extraordinary kind.
AS missionary Of the Church Of
Jesus Christ he has Travelled scores
Of thousands OF miles, much Of it
on foot, and in that capacity has
been wonderfully successful, being
the means Of bringing a host OF
people into the fold. He
has also been noted as one
Of the most industrious OF
men IN the matter Of manual
labor, overcoming numerous physical
difficulties by dint OF indomitable |
perseverance. His hale condition |
is all the more striking because of |
his having met with many accidents
resulting in severe physical injuries,
many Of the bones of his body hav-
fnos hon hrckan HE ,,,f,;5+a-i,I Il
labors at home in these valleys are
well known TO and appreciated by
his people. who hold the respected
veteran in the greatest veneration.
because Of his integrity to the truth,
his genuine frankness and the ser
vice he has rendered 70 them and
the cause Of God. With all Latter
day Saints We wish President
long life and peace.

FAITH.

WE GIVE place TO the following
communication, which is dated
Meadow, Feb. p, 1880:
The article on ''Fadh'' in the SEMI
WEEKLY DEsEREr NEWS Of Febru-
airy 2lst is causing much surprise and
comment among Lstter-day SAINTS,
because it is so essentially sectarian,
and therefore opposed to the teach
ings we have received on the first
principles OF the Gospel. As we under
stand the plan OF Ealvation. we must
no: only believe in the Lord Jesus
Christ" but we must repent and be
baptized for the remission Of the sins
we have repented OF. James saws:
Faith without works is dead.n In
the article referred to, all that is men
toned, as needed for our salvation, is
''Faith." So say many of the Christian
secis.
Again: No penance is required.
What is repentance and the persecu-
ton almost all true believers are SUBJ
jected to, II it is not perance7 Atany
rate it is the penalty paid by seekers
after truth for their faith. When
Christ was upon the earth what was
His teaching? Did He leave us no
except TO believe in
Him? Did He leave us nothing to do 4
for Him, and for ourselves? Christ
the need of baptism; how
much more, then, is 1t needed for His
followers? Paul wrote to the Corlnthi-
ms: "Faith, hope, charity; these three,
,ut the greatest of all is Charity" or
owe, as it is rendered in the revised

edition Of the New Testament. Chris'
said: "a new commandment give /
unto you-love one Another" thus
showing dat something more even
than faith and baptism was needed.
II space permitted we would so on
quoting the injunctions laid upon US
by the Redeemer requiring works as
well as faith. His Apostles and dis
ciples continually preached repentance
and baptism, and il faith was all that
was needed for our salvation. what
need would there be for repentance
and bapiism9 II would render the
labor OF our missionaries, who are
sent TO the nations OF the earth, an easy
task; all they need do would be to 90
through the highways, shouting, "Be-
lievei Only believe in the Lord Jesus
Christ, and We shall be saved; your
eternal salvation is assured But the
true believer in the Gospel knows
there is something more needed than |
faith, mighty as II IS; works, good |
works, are required at our hands, sBd |
if not given. then indeed wculi our
faith be accounted dead.
NJ. A. Y. G.
While the principle OF faith was
the theme of the article of which the
above is 4 review. and while il
omitted to mention other principles
Of the Gospel, yet it contained no
statement which was intended to
convey the impression that works
were not necessary 10 be added to
faith. The author wrote from a
which pre-supposes faith
in Christ and the works of right
to be inseparable. Real,
genuine faith in Christ will produce
works as certainly as life will pro-
luce motion; hence the term fifth
n this sense includes works without
heir being mentioned.
In unnumbered instances the

n manner and sense which in
Jude works, without specifically
laming them, and this must be
in studying the Scrip
ures, otherwise they cannot be cor
ecuy understood. The objections
rged against the article apply with
quail force to the quotation with
which it opened: "Believe in the
ord Jesus Christ and thou shalt be
aved.' These were the words Of /:
'aul and Silas to the jaiIer aud his
ouse. Were they sectarian doc
-ine? No, for the reason that the
ind Of belief which Paul and SiIas
ad reference to would inevitably K
reduce the works necessary unto
aviation. This is the kind of faith | !

THE FAULT NOT IN THE SYS.
TEN.

THE subject of either abolishing
or reforming the system of trial by
jury is being widely agitated by
many leading men. The theme was
lately discussed in the columns OF
the New York Maj and Express,
which cited a case in illustration.
Some time since, in criminal case.
Judge Horton Of Chicago took the
examination Of talesmen for a jury
into his own hands, deciding upon
the question Of their competency
regardless Of the attorneys
in the case. The defendant
being convicted in the trial
which followed, his attorneys made
a motion for a new trial on the
ground that the Judge had exceeded
his powers in interfering with the
selection of the jury. This motion
was denied, the court holding that
the defendant was guilty and that
the jury was entirely competent In
every respect. In rendering his
decision Judge Horton took occa-
sion to say: "Are We not fast ap-
if we have not already
reached, the point when the trial
by jury is itself being placed upon |
trial at the bar Of public opinion? If |
this be so, it is because Of the abuse
Of trial by jury, and not because of
any error in the principle upon
WHICH the trial by jury is predi-
,atSS
If the last sentence the Judge
truck the keynote Of the situation.
t is not the principel of trial BY
ury that is at fault; it is the inno-
'ations upon it that cause the mis-
'hief. The jury system is in pre-
isely the same position as the Ma
ional Constitution. That sacred
instrument defines the principles of
rec civil government as clearly as
power can give them ex-
ression in language. But when its
equirements are ignored, to ,
nat extent it fails to perform
ecause not permitted to do So
S exalted function, which is to
reserve and protect the rights of {
tizens and maintain their equality
sfore the law. When the principles
the jury system are set aside, for
lie attainment Of any purpose, it is
lily to ascribe the direful results I
evitably following to the system J
elf. They are simply caused by !
roads upon it. Consequently, no '
stem, however perfect, is proof
ainst a lack Of honor and morality 9
the people, especially the govern =
& classes. n
In Utah there are virtually only a y
" shreds Of a jury system re-
aiming, its principles having been h
toriously ignored. But this is no i
lit Of the method; it has merely 81
en- almost wholly banished from U
al Jurisprudence. Atleast that is =,
; way we view it. N
