a Country Song.
An evening so clear
would that Iwere,
To kiss the soft cheek
With the faintest of mir,
The star that is twinkling
So brightly above,
Iwonld that I were
To enlighten my love-
would were heaven,
oierarching and blue,
I'd battle thee, my dearest,
In freshest of dew.
Iwould the sun were,
All radiance and glow,
I'd pour all my splendor
On thee, love. below.
1flwere the waters
That round the world run
rdlayish my pearls on thee,
Not keeping of one.
IfIwere the summer,
My flowers and green
I'd heap on thy temples,
And crown thee my queen.
IfIwere kiln,
All fire and flame,
I'd mantle and girdle thee
Round with the same.
But as am nothing
Save loved mazed Bill,
Pray take of me, make of me,
just what you will.

He TAXES THE CAKE.-A story ia
being told which is amusing to say
the least. Senator Quay desired a
certain man to be appointed to GER
tain place, so called with some of his
henchmen on President Harrison. AT.
ter using all his persuasive powers in
vain upon the President, who per.
emptorily refused the request, the
Senator blurted out:
"Insomuch as we made you Presi.
dent you should oblige rs.
The White House magnate looked
at him for q moment and then said
solemnly:
"God made me President"
This was too much. Meeting in
the street a moment afterward that
celebrated Agnostic. Mr.. Robert Ig-
gersoll, they told him the story.
"Well. well" he said. 81 have
said many tough things about God
but Harrison takes the cake. ~

REVERSED AGAIN.

One would naturally think that in the
course OF time the federal judges in Utah
would grow weary of being reversed in the
United States supreme court on the plain
est propositions of law, and would conclude
that it is better to be governed by the
statutes than controlled by unreasonable
prejudice against the Mormons. With al
most unvarying regularity the appeals from
the local supreme court to the highest
tribunal in the land in Mormon cases are
decided in favor of the appellants, and the
rule is for the upper court to employ Ian
guage III its opinions not at all compliment
tary to the learning Of the district judges.
On Monday there was another reversal,
and the case is very important one
luasmuch as the rights Of hun
dreds of individuals in this terri
tory are involved, as are also
titles to much property. The question at
issue was as to the right Of polygamous
children, born within a certain specified
time after the passage of the EDMuNDs
bill, to inherit from their fathers The su-
preme court held that they could not in
IN the face Of the territorial statute and in
defiance of the clause of the Congressional
act named covering the point and making
special provision for protecting the rights
of such children. 1t seemed ridiculous
decision as well as an outrageous one, and
the ablest lawyers here asserted that if the
case were carried to the supreme court the
opinion would be reversed. 1t was carried
up, and the result is that which was an
ticipated, the court holding with the plain
reading of the law that polygamous
children born previous to the date men
toned in the act, are lawful heirs of their
fathers.
Two important suits in which the ques-
ton is involved have already been decided
in the local courts, and others have been
Instituted lately. The supreme court
opinion will, of course, restore to the off
spring of polygamous fathers and mothers
their properly rights

evils that bore upon the people, inaugurated
the revolution of the nation against those

there cannot be doubt that the public. the

the policy of the government then as it
does at the present day.
There exists in all countries and ar all
times, but especially at this period and in
republic, power that goes behind laws
institutions, or military force, rendering
the latter null and void whenever they ara

appropriately designate this power as
public opinion, popular intelligence and in

times in which we live and fostered bv the
democratic tendencies of the age.
This spirit, especially strong in this
country, is easily aroused into indignant
outbursts, which declare with emphasis
that the people are sovereign, and quickly
cause obnoxious leaders to stand aside.

IT Is fortunate for Idahos sixty-day
Senator, MCCONNELL, that he drew the short
term and will therefore soon retire from
the chamber in which he does not fit with
any sort of grace. ''MAc'' may think it
statesmanlike to slap old man EvARTs ia
mlliarly on the back and poke HoAR in
the ribs, but he will soon learn that in this
as In other things, familiarity breeds con-
tempt. If there is one place in America
where man must assume dignity, whether
or not he may feel it, it is in the United
States Senate. There neither the ways of
the wild and woolly west nor those of the
staggering south will be tolerated The
dlgnified Senators may put up with Nc
CoNNELL now, knowing that he will retire
IN a few weeks and they will never again
be annoyed by him; but if he were to be
there full term they would at once make
1t apparent to him that to have any friends
and to WELD any influence, it would be nee
essary for him to check his exuberant
feelings and display as little of his west
tern characteristics as possible.
