CARELESS OF LIBERTY.

The carelessness and apparent indiffer-
ence with which the question of the pro-
posed disfranchisement of the Mormons
has been treated by some Congressman, re-
calls the words of JEFFERSON, who looked
forward with apprehension to such time
as the present:
Besides, the spirit of the times may alter,
will alter Our rulers will become corrupt our
people careless. single zealot may COM
mence persecution, and better men be his VIC
TINS 1t can never be too often repeated, that
the time for fixing every essential right on a
legal basis is while our rulers are honest, and
ourselves united. From the conclusion of this
war we shall be going down hill. 1t will not
then be necessary to resort every moment to
the people for support. They will be forgotten
therefore, and their rights disregarded They
will forget themselves but in the sole faculty of
making money, and will never think of uniting
to effect q due respect for their rights The
shacllles therefore, which shall not be knocked
off at the conclusion of this war, will remain on
us long, be made heavier and heavier till our
rights shall revive or expire in convulsion.-
Jefferson, 'N0tes on Virginia.
JEFFERSON labored to make the constitu-
ton as perfect as possible, well knowing
that there would not be another such OPP
portunity when once the supreme danger
of tyranny had been surmouEted.
The first amendment to the constitution,
Congress shall make no law respecting an
establishment of religion or prohibiting the
free exercise thereof" would be violated,
and the last amendment, 1.-THE right of the
citizens of the United States to vote shall
not be denied or abridged by the United
States, or by any state, on account of race,
color, or previous condition of servitude, "
would be violated in spirit, by the passage
of the STRUBLE disfranchisement bill.
This bill is intended to disfranchise all
members of the Mormon church, not fol
any act of theirs, but for the crime of be-
ing known as Mormons. That it is very
seriously considered shows the danger into
which the liberties of the the American
people are falling, and verifies the predic-
ton of JEFFERSON that the people would
not even be sufficiently jealous of thei.

CONTINUE THE GOOD WORK.

1t was very good work which the mar
shal did last Sunday. The saloons very
generally were closed. Some LIQUOR nav
have been sold, but the quantity was in
significant as compared with the
amount distributed on previous Sun
days during the past eleven months. There
was no carousing, no clinking of glasses to
annoy and offend the feelings of decent peo-
pie. And on Monday morning the number
Of "drunks" in the police court was small
indeed, the number being five, we believe
as against an average of twenty five or
thirty on previous Mondays. While the
day was not exactly Christian Sabbath
and was unlike the Sundays of a wear or
two ago. it was such an Improvement ON
what the people have experienced lately
that the community rejoiced and at the
same time applauded the marshal.
Last Sunday demonstrated what can
be done. 1t proved that the saloon
keepers can be made to obey the
law and respect the better element of
society. All the marshal had to do to bring
about the revolution was to notify the rum
sellers that they must close their bars or
they would be punished for violating the
Sunday ordinances. 1t was all easv
enough. The law having been enforced on
one Sunday can be enforced every Sunday.
and Salt Lake can recover the reputation
which has placed her almost alone among
western cities in the matter of Sunday oh
servance.
During the week there was a rumor tina,
the saloons were to be opened to -day as
usual, in defiance of the ordinance and the
marshafs order. 1t was said that certain
saloon-keepers sold OF the sly last Sunday
and this fact coming to the knowledge Of
others they declared that they would sci
to-day and in future, as they could MOI
afford to permit any one to have the adj
vantage Of them in the matter of trade
There may be nothing in this rumor: W.
hope there is nothing in it. At the same
time the marshal will do well to instruc
his officers to be on the alert for offenders
Public sentiment is with the officer whit
enforces the law and will uphold him ever,
time against the clamor of the lawles,
classes.

WILL THEY RECIPROCATE?

Will the western Republican Senators
stand by their Democratic friends on the
force bill vote as well as the De mocrats
stood by them in the vote for free coinage?
Not all the Democrats in the Senate are
entirely favorable to the free coinage of
silver. and of those who voted for the free
coinage bill, several must have sacrificed
their own views to some extent in order to
gi re the silver interests the benefits of
any doubts they might have in regard to
the present adoption of free coinage.
1t can readily be seen how men not
wholly converted to free coinage would
and for the sake of doing away with the
present law in regard to silver, which has
accomplished little for silver beyond the
formation of silver pool and the
consequent suspicion that all the
silver advocacy is mere selfishness.
We say that the action of some Demo-
Gratis, not wholly converted to the free
coinage doctrine, in voting for what the
friends of silver know to DO the best for
TIC white metal. was magnanimous, and
SHOULD justify the hope that the western
Republican Senators would do as much for
The interests Of southern whites as southern
Senators have done for the interests of
silver.
The action OF these Republican Senators
will therefore be watched with interest,
and they will soon have an opportunity to
manifest the depth of their gratitude TO-
wards those who have sacrificed point or
two ia their favor.

A PARTY QUESTION.

1t IS amusing to read in a Republican Or
gan that the free coinage of silver is in no
sense party question, and that neither of
the greEl political parties is better disposed
than the other towards the white metal
This IS especially amusing coming, as the
declaration does, two days after vote on
the proposition had been recorded in the
upper house of Congress, and when the
record OF that vote is fresh in the minds of
all newspaper readers. 1t was only last
Wednesday that the Senate passed the bill
with free coinage clause, the vote stand
ing q for and 80 against the measure. ~
Senators voting. And now let US analyze
the vote for the purpose of seeing just how
the two parties stand as to silver. Of the
a affirmative votes % were cast by Demo-
Gratis and 16 by Republicans; or, putting it
In another way, 62 per cent. of the total yea
vote was Democratic while but 80 per cent.
was Republican. These figures should
definitely settle which of the parties is
friendly to silver. Again, there We're 80
votes against the bill, made up as
follows: Republicans, 81; Democrats,
3. That is to say, just 80
per cent, of the opposition vote was Repub
lican, and only ten per cent, Democratic.
Ii this does not show that the question is a
party one, perhaps some of these humorous
organs can tell how it would be possible to
make the demonstration
There is another feature of the vote which
tends directly to credit the Democracy with
friendship for the white metal Of the 1G
Republicans who voted for the bill, II came
from silver-producing states, and it is only
reasonable to say that these gentlemen had
the courage to break away from their party
because they lacked the courage to oppose
their constituents. On the other hand, not
one of the 26 Democratic senators swho vot
ed for the bill halls from silver producing
state. 1t is therefore but fair to assert
that the Democrats support the measure
from principle and not because the silver
mining industry will be benefited.

organs which are well disposed toward.

BE LENIENT.

THE HERALD hopes that the bankers ana
the money-lenders will be lenient with the
creditor classes of this city. There is no
occasion for real alarm in financial circles,
provided the capitalists will show some
heart and not take advantage of the awk-
ward circumstances in which borrowers
find themselves.
We might as well be frank and outspoken
in this matter. A year ago there was
real estate 'sboom'' on in Salt Lake. NOT
everybody, but a good many people were
buying and selling "dirt." With some
values cut very little figure. They consld-
cred only prices and the probabilities OF
selling at an advance There were specu-
lators and some of them have come to sflei
while others are fast going in that dlrec-
ton. There were others, however, VINO
did not buy to sell again. They may
have purchased unwisely paying,
and promising to pay. not more than
property was actually worth. but more
than they could afford to pay and more than
they were able topay. They did not perhaps
fully and intelligently take the probabilities
OF the future into account. The eagerness

that as money was plenty and times were
good, those conditions would continue.
Much of the property which was purchased
between November Of 1889 and March q
1890 was not paid for In full. we beleVe
that more mortgages were recorded within
those months than during the same number
of years Heretofore. These mortgages
are now falling due, and in the cases OF
many. if not most of them, it is simply out
of the question that the money can be paid
II is not that the property is not worth the
amount of the lien upon it, but the money
is not to be had; it is not here
and cannot be gotten here. The cash
boxes of the country have beea securely
locked and their owners are on guard. Nc

THE GOOD SHEPARD.

The Mail and Express has broken out
afresh against the Mormons, the occasion
being something that Rev. JOE Cook doesn't
know about the Saints. The pious paper
says:
Religious liberty is the right OF every citizen
of the republic. Congress is forbidden by the
constitution to make any law respecting the
establishment of religion or prohibiting the free
exercise thereof
For more than century, under this guaran-
have worshipped GoD according to the dictates
of conscience. But religions liberty must not
be perverted to the justification of offenses
against the law. The religious liberty guaran-
teed by our constitution is the liberty of ICON

license OF reasonable theories and pagan prac
tees. which violate those moral and political
principles underlying our government.

THE LATEST assault of the Republican
party upon the constitution is led by Sena-
tor QUAY. He has introduced bill pro
viding that the President may suspend
the writ Of habeas corpus and employ the
armed forces of the United States -
whenever that official believes that the
election measure, of which this clause is a
part cannot otherwise be executed - The
constitution expressly says, ''The privilege
of the writ of habeas corpus shall not be
suspended unless when in case of rebellion
or invasion the public safety may require
It," But what do Republicans care for the
constitution.

ga very real tragedy among very practi-
cal people; no novelist ever imagined
more startling one"
Such is the unanimous verdict of ex-
perts on the horrible killing OF Emma
Pfitzenmeyer at Chester, Pa. That the
beautiful, hayward girl was cut to pieces
by her own sister in frenzy of rage and
jealousy is now charged, as well as that
the husband assisted his wife in a clumsy
scheme to conceal her guilt. Mr.. and Mrs.
Henry T. Schmidt, the accused pair, are in
separate cells awaiting their trial. and
fresh evidence daily is Tightening the coils
around them. And yet it is more than
probable that the woman will escape any
extreme penalty, for the public sympathy
of the county is with her.
The cause is easily seen in the details of
the case. Emma Pftzenmeyer was very
attractive and voluptuous looking blonde
of %, who came from Germany few years
since and made her home with her sister,
Mrs. Otto Walthers, of Chester. She was
inordinately found of gay company, and
gossip was soon busy with her name. At
length Mrs. Walthers sent her away, jeal-
ousy being the main cause. Emma went
to live with her other sister, Mrs. Schmidt,
and soon there was the same gossip about
Mr.. Schmidt.
One evening there was public ball not
far away which Emma and Mrs. Schmidt
attended, leaving the husband at a2me
with the baby. A little before midnight
Emma went home ''to see if the baby was
all right" returned, and soon after again
left the ballroom, this time unobserved.
Mrs Schmidt missed her, and-well, her
conclusions are not yet proved, but she
hurried home. Not quite an hour later
she and her husband reused the police
with the announcement that Emma had
committed suicide
A very brief examination of the hor-
rible scene showed that it could not have
been suicide. The girls neck was hacked
so nearly through that it hung by but a
slip of skin. The windpipe had been sew
cred after other fatal wounds. A long,
narrow knife had been thrust deep into
the neck from behind, penetrating down
ward-probably the first blow. In the side
of the neck was another deep wound. in
which the knife had been drawn forward
Last of all, apparently, the deep cut across
the front of the neck was made. By the
corpse lay a ragged cheese knife, which
could not have made the wounds. The
