They said in Rome, when the Christians prayed
Down in the Catacombs. dark and drear,
Or with life the price Of the true faith paid,
"Who would the tale of these zealots hearf'
Yet the Christian sings his swelling hymns.
And the cross of Christ triumphant stands
Where the lions tore the converts limbs,
on the wide arenas cruel sands.
They said in Holland, when Alva smote
The babe at the breast, and the white breast
too,
eve have these beggars' hard by the throat,
Perish the whole rebellious crew."
Yet Holland sent to this favored land,
In the little 'tMayfiower's" cabin small,
Men Of purpose, stern and grand,
Germ of the noblest folk of all.
They said. in the days of old John Brown.
I'VE breed our blacks for our private gain.
Ye liberty -prating rabble, down!
Or We rend the land and the flag in twain"
Yet Abraham Lincoln forward came,
And a million muskets cleaned at his back;
Brown lives i'll song, and a nations shame
Is washed in blood from the nations track.
They say in this, our fateful hour,
Two parties vast, that are stained with sin,
1.-THE nation must lose its manhood's flower
That we, on election day may win"
Yet God is God of changeless might,
And changeless love; in the days ahead,
Let US rally around our roses white,
And trust HIM to snite THIS giant dead.

An Interesting Case.

The case of r. NJ. King of Tennes-
see, which has attracted such wide
spread attention for the last year, has
just been tried on appeal in the Fed
eral Court at Memphis, Tenn, Judge
Hammond presiding. 1t will be re.
membered that Mr.. King, who is a
seventh-day observer, after resting on
Saturday, plowed corn in his field on
Sunday, for which the court of his
county fined him $50 and costs. By
the advice and help of the National
Religious Liberty Association, of
which MIR. King is member, he APP
pealed his case to the supreme court
of the state, which affirmed the decis.
ion of the lower court.
On the refusal of Mr.. King to pay
the fine assessed he was placed in Jail,
but was released on IA writ of habeas
corpus, which was made returnable to
the U. 5. district court at Memphis,
Tenn. the second Monday in January,
1891. In the meantime, the Religious
Liberty Association secured the ser.
vices of Hon. Don NJ. Dickinson of
Detroit, Mich, to assist in the case,
with the design of carrying it, if pos
sible, to the supreme court of the
United States, there to test the consti.
tutionality of Sunday laws in the vari-
Gus states of the Union.
The argument of the case has just
been concluded in the federal court,
but the Judge reserved his decision.
which will probably be handed down
in few days. The decision will be
anxiously looked for by many, as it
will be one which will materially affect
the operation of Sunday laws in that
judicial District, and probably in all
parts of the United States.

this is attributed to a combine of

THE DANGER In BIG FARMS.

The most interesting item in FRANK G.
CARPENTERS letter published in last Sun
days HERALD, was his talk with Senator
CASEY, of North Dakota, in relation to the
big farms of that state, and of the tendency
of our times to big farms. The facts
stated by Senator CASEY are interesting of
themselves; they give information on an
important subject; they are doubly
important when considered as showing tie
drift towards monopoly even in farming.
Few people, perhaps. were aware that
single farms of $4,000 acres existed in the
United States, and Others of 10, 600 to Is. 600
acres, while those of 500 and 1000 acres are
quite common-more common than eyerv-
body knows. Replying to the question,
"Do you think the tendency of the times
is toward small farms rather than large
onesa" the Senator said: mo | do not. I
think everything points to expansive
farming The farms of the future in this
country will be large ones rather than
small ones. Farming becomes more of
business every year. and the outlook is that
from now on farming will be one of the
best paying industries of the United
States"
This conversation touches a matter of
vital Importance in the United States. one
which, in time. will affect the nature of
our society and even the institutions of
government. 1t may be of interest. in
passing, to call attention to the fact that

JUDGE DILLON's OPINION.

Judge DILLON, of New York, to VIII ON
the question was submitted on an agreed
statement by the school board and the civ
authorities, has given an opinion that
school bonds form no part of the corpora-
ton Indebtedness as contemplated in the
act of Congress limiting the BORROWING
power of municipalities to 4 per cent of
the taxable value of the property included
in the city. He holds that while the Salt
Lake municipal corporation and the Salt
Lake school district are co-extensiye
they are not the same in the corpo-
rate sense, hence debt contracted by
the school district cannot be construed as
city corporation debt, although the bonds
are secured by the same property which
secure the regular municipal bonds. viz :.
the property of the city. Judge DuLoNi s
perhaps, the best authority in America nm
the subject, and of course his opinion will
'go." Nevertheless, the opinion sets aside
the essential feature of the act of Congress-
which was INCREASING of bar against ex-
traordinary debts by municipal corpora
tions. The purpose of the act was to pro-
tect cities against themselves, and the
provision was wise one, as the members
OF the corporation of Salt Lake have rea-
son to know. The present munioipal
authorities have expended, within the past
two years, nearly 100000 dollars and a
large part OF the money has been so un-
wisely spent that it might just as well have
been emptied into the river Jordan. so far
as the resulting benefit to the corporation
or people Is concerned. If the authorities
had been able to borrow more money the
expenditure would have been much larper
than it has been, and the debt, which has
been made burdensome in two short years
increased until it became positively oppres-
sive if not unbearable. The will has existsd
all the time, but the act of Congress and
the inability to sell bonds, have restrained
the city council
1t was to protect property-owners and
save the credit of municipal corporations
against just such incompetent, reckless and
extravagant governments as that which
affiicts Salt Lake. that Congress put the
restraining statute in the books, and linn
tied the borrowing power to what q cor
poration would reasonably be expected to
pay. 1t that act can be virtually nullified.

BLAINE, ELKINs AND HARRISON.

The Washington Post, foreseeing that the
country would look upon the appointment
OF ELKINs to a cabinet position as evidence
OF bargain between HARRISON and
BLAINE, whereby the latter withdraws
from the presidential contention, prints an
account of how it came about. 1t seems
from this ELKINs was offered such a place
long ago, but would not take it as long as
GoFF, OF West Virginia, was unprovided
for, but upon Corr being appointed a
United States circuit judge he was free to
accept. Consulting Mr.. BLAINE the latter
advised acceptance, saying that though he
was not a candidate for the presidency he
might, by the overwhelming voice of
the country, consent to run, in
which event HARRISON would be
for him, and therefore there was
no improperly in them both being
members of the cabinet-or some such
words. So ELKINs gets the President to
nominate Corr for Judge and himself for
secretary of war
Now what lot of juggling, bargaining
and compromising is here disc osedl And
now attenuated and diaphanous the pre-
tense that ELKINs is to sit at the executive
council table and hold personal advisory
relations with two presidential candidates
at the same time! The fact is the state
ment is unnatural and untrue on the face
of IT. No doubt the correct version. and
one confirming the view THE HERALD took
of the matter yesterday, is given in the
Washington special of our neighbor. the
Tribune. as follows:
What is the meaning of STEVE ELKINs' nom
nation as secretary of war; This is the oues-
ton which has been universally conversed in
Washington this afternoon and evening. Is il
the price paid for BLAINE's withdrawal in favor
of President HARRISON, or is 1t the evidence of
BLAINEs ability TO force a friend into the cabi-
net? The general impression prevails that Mr..
BLAINE is about to formally Withdraw his name
presidential possibility Some weeks ago
am creditably informed, President HARRISON
sent for Mr.. BLAINE and went over with him
the whole subject of the coming convention. It
was then decided that Mr.. BLAINE should make
a statement, at such time as seemed politically
most expedient OF his determination never
again TO undergo the fatigues and troubles of n
presidential canvass. This is the story, which
comes from such source that am inclined to
believe it. HARRISoN's friends, when asked
why Mr.. BLAINE delays the statement spoken
