where they are probably by far the
wealthiest Maoris in the colony. Time
was when they drew an annual in
come OF more than E3e,0Oo from the
lands which they leased for sheep and
cattle runs, and the rich agricultural
land they owned near the town. The
sudden possession Of this wealth
turned their heads. They took to
drinking, and stories are told Of their
driving about in their buggies with
lamps lighted In the broad day. Quick
iy they forestalled their rents. got

the improvement effected in their
habits by their new teachers is already
very marked. The Mormons can be
easily picked out at any pa by their
temperance.asw well as superior cieanli-
ness and tidiness Of dress. both among
the men and women. They have "a
civilized and superior appearance to
their feilow-counirymen, which is I'M
mistakeable;' and, we are also told,
Aiormonism as taught amongst them
does not imply polygamy. The news
is strange, but our contemporary is an
unquesiionable authority. There was
certainly great room for improvement
in some OF the Hawkes. Bay pas, and
we sre informed that similar effects
are being observed among the natives
who adopt Morfnonism in several
other parts Of the country. The Nor
mon Bible book Of Mormonl is trans
lated into Maori, by whom we do not
know, and circulated widely among
the natives The missionaries, we are
also told. devote themselves earnestly
TO their work, live and move among
the natives, and devote their attention
as much TO social as religions teach
ing. The Maoris have always been very
ready to adopt new creeds, and have
hitherto been as ready to drop them.
Whether Mormonism has come
among them ito stay and what effect
Its teachings arc Ultimately to have,
time only will be able to tell"

ACCOMMODATE THE PEOPLE.

A NUMBER Of residents Of the
Eighteenth and Twentieth wards
have petitioned the City Council to
grant the Salt Lake Railroad Com
pany the rightto construct a branch
Of their system in that locality. We
presume it is the route in that sec
ton Of the city the company
had already asked for. If we
recollect Alright it runs north
through the Eagle Gate, thence
east on First Street till it
reaches A when it runs north, past
the ward chapel and school build
ing to Third, thence east to b, and
thence north TO Sixth, thence east
to the vicinity Of the city cemetery.
The line is greatly needed. To
be original, it is ga long-felt
want" that should be supplied.
We do not know of lccll-
ity where a street railway
service is more urgently required,
especially along the bench land.
Then why not grant the petition
without delay? Squabbles between
rival companies should not stand in
the way Of the accommodation of
the public.
II memory serves us properly, the
company which made the applica-
ton agreed TO place electric lamps
along the route and keep them
lighted free of charge for five years.
This would be a decided boon
to the people Of the north bench.
as the present lighting reaches no
further north than Fourth Street.
Both imprOvements-the carservice
and hghting-would be greatly ap-
preciated by the residents in that
quarter Of the city.

''KIRNEss'' IN A GERMAN VILLAGE.
HONE LIFE IN THE OLD
COUNTRY.

The German 'Kirmess," analo-
gous to our yearly village fairs, or
''ieasts," as they are called in the
north Of England, originated-in
long past years-in the celebration
of tue anniversary Of the church
dedication But now it has gradu-
ally lost all its religious meaning,
and has cOme 10 be looked upon as
n general holiday day for feasting
and dancing.
Indeed, the little village in which
we. attended writes n correspondent
from Rhineland) the "Kirmess"
couldn't boast OF a church at all;
for the church goers, If there
were any, had to walk two
miles to the next town. On
our arrival we were confronted
by a crowd opposite the principal
"wirthshaus,o a young man de-
claiming to the villagers from an
inverted tub. We couldn't catch
all of what he was saying, but he
seemed TO be telling every one to be
happy and to enjoy themselves, and
he drank at intervals glass Of white
wine, with n slice Of lemon in Il, to
the health Of the community, amid
general cheering. Presently he got
down from his tub, and then the
iddlers struck up, and couples be-
gan to gyrate around a May pole,
decorated gayly with pine trees,
flags and flowers. They danced
in perfect time and rhythm.
even reversing" to perfection.
After the inauguratiDg cance
round the maypole they all ad
journed TO the inn, where the fun
was long carried on, with alterna-
tons OF beer drinking in the neigh
boring garden. Presently the chief
"hauer' or small farmer) of the
village came up to us and politely,
with a deep bow, requested the
ladies to do him the honor Of q
dance. We accordingly each in
turn Joined the whirliDg couples,
and had hardly sat down and re-
covered our pristine GOODNESS when
the young man who had held forth
on the tub 1.-THE village shoemaker's
son. we afterwards ltarned) ap-
preached us, with a comrade. He
bowed, and asked us to Join n vii

We all signed our names to the lot

offered to repeat again
his inaugurating speech for our
benefit, as we had been such late ar
rivals.

Editor DeScre, Neirs:
I send you an extract clipped from
The auckland Weekly Nel5s, a very
influential and widely circulated pa
per, showing that our labors among
this branch Of the House Of Israel are
attracting the attention Of thinking
men. This superiority Of tho Saints

island, and their good example is hav-
Ing marked influence over the better
classes Of their fellows, thus causing
the liquor dealers 10 raise cry
against US at every opportunity. The
ministers also seem much affected

Aiaorles. At the present time a terri
bic tale Of mormon" yyicIzeduess. is

they were well treated for three davs
after which they were turned out 10

work, but the "Mo.mons'' took awav
his wife, and when he got his money
they took that also. Greatly acgrieved
he appealed to tho Church OF EaelanJ

he got his wife and the money TO re-

CITY ESTRAy POUNDS.

The inhabitants of North Salt
Lake have represented to the City
Council that they are troubled with
trespassing animals, and have asked
to have an estray pound established
In that part Of the city. II is time
the Council gave attention to this
subject, in view Of the fact that the
present ordinance relating to it is
invalid in some Of Its vital provi-
sions, and Of the further fact that the
Legislature passed a new statute re-
garding it, at the last session.
A pound on the old plan cannot
lawfully be established; but it would

THE NEAGLE CASE.

IN the State of California, NeagIe
shot and killed JGdge Terry. At the
moment when the act was done
Neagle was a deputy United States
marshal, and was defending the
person Of Justice Of the Supreme
Court Of the United States, a duty to
which he had been previously as
signed. The killing was prfmG
.facis unlawful, and unless justifica-
ton for it existed, it was a crime,
punishable severely, perhaps with
death.
Obviously it was a matter for the
courts to investigate. But what
courts? Those Of the State OF Cali
fornia or of the United States
The contention on the one hand is
that the homicide was violation Of
the laws Of California, that the
Offense was triable under the laws Of
that State, by its courts; and that
any man, no matter who he may
be, or what his business, calling or
occupation is, who commits a homi-
eide in n Stale, is triable and punish
able under the laws Of that State by
the States courts. In the Neagle
case it was contended, on the other
hand, that the defendant, being
United States officer, on duty as
such, and engaged in protecting q
United States judge, at the time be
did the killing, is triable under Fed
eral laws and in Federal court.
A majority Of the Supreme Court
Of the United States holds the
latter view, Chief Fuller and
Justice Lamar dissenting and
holding the other. The latter are
Democratic in politics, and their
holdiRg is in line with Democratic
doctrine, aud adverse to the tenden-
cy in the direction of Capitalization
which the Republican party is pur-
suing. The decision is regarded by
Democratic lawyersand newspapers,
almost universally, as an impetus to
Capitalization and blow at Safes
rights.
The dissenting view is the cor
rect one. When the circuit court
issued the wit of ka5eas cur
pus which took the person Of
NeagIe out OF the keeping
Of the State officers, and
when it made the ruling
which removed him from the juris-
iic;ioD Of the State courts, it com
mitted au act Of usurpation, and a
violation Of the spirit and letter OF
the Constitution. The tribunal Of
last resort has confirmed the wrong,
and struck n blow at popular liberty,
the rights Of the States and the
power Of the people to protect them
selves by their own laws and courts.
This decision is significant in that
itmarks another extended advance
upon the bulwarSs Of popular free
dom by the power OF Capitalization.

Notes from the Telephone

Hello, Did YOU ever think, if you have a
telephone. how pleasant it would be if.
when the party YOU called for comes TO re-
spond. he would simply announce his num-
Der. and thus relieve any uncertainty in
your mind as 10 whether the operator bad
correctly understood and executed your
order! If mistake had been made, how
much more quickly it could be corrected:
and if you had the right party, with how
much more ease and prOmptness would you
proceed with your talk than if you first
heard '.hello," and then ask as this No. ~
and finally get 10 business.
Suppose YOU try it yourself after this,
giving your number when you are called,
and make il easier for the other fellow.
This is one of the regular rules on the card,
too. Probably you haven't read it. There
are some other rules that you overlook, and
if you observed them you would find your
telephone service improved.
Speaking Of mistakes Of the operators,
they do make them sometimes, don't they
DO you wonder: Have you any idea how
many orders each one Of them hears in a
day and executes correctly: They cone
very fast at certain times of the day, and
the mistakes are microscopic fraction OF
the entire number. DO you think you
would do any better or make any fewer
mistakes! AS fact, now, do YOU make
any fewer mistakes in your business than
the telephone operator does in hersI Good
by.
