Nonresident College Course.

The faculty OF the BRIGHAM You've Col
commence a nonresident course of study
leading to diploma. The objects Of this
are TO aid private students by indicating
proper lines Of study; to cultivate taste
for higher education among the people; to
afford opportunity and give directions for
acquiring it; and to extend assistance to
persons undertaking prolonged and thor
ough course.
This is designed specially TO benefit pub
lie school teachers and others whose time
is not fully taken up in other ways, but
who cannot attend an institution Of learn
ing. The course comprehends a high grade
of study, particulars of which may be OBJ
tanned on application to Professor j. H.
PAUL, the principal of the college. The
course is open to any person Of good moral
character who pays the initiation fee of
five dollars
Examinations will be held during the
first two weeks in June and tue last
two weeks in December. The board
will aid students in any difficulties they
may encounter in their studies and give
answers to questions, but will not give q
course of Instruction to non-resid emit
pupils. Residents in Cache county will
have to PASS their examination in person
at the college. For students at a distance
arrangements will be made so that they
may pass examinations by school officials
near to their residences. the college fur
nishing the questions aud also receiving
the answers by letter.
Persons passing these examinations will
receive no honorary degree or title, but a
diploma, carrying with it the honor of q
! certificate of graduation in the studies thus
completed. This viii doubtless receive
recognition from other institutions of
learning and by school officials.
The faculty win receive no remuneration
for their work, but make the offer to slim
ulate the cause of higher education. It is a
worthy motive and the proposition will, no
doubt, be received with pleasure by many
persons who desire educational advance
ment but cannot attend the college. The
further expense will be S20 for examiua-
tion aud IS for the diploma. This brings
the benefits of the arrangement within the
reach OF young mem and women of limited
means.
We consider it matter of public inter.
est and likely TO bring about great deal
of good and we therefore commend the
proposition OF the Brigham Young college
TO the attention OF the people of Utah,
hoping that many will desire to avail
themselves of it advantages, and they will
write to Logan fer more specific informa-

Is 1t a Party Plot

It will be remembered that as soon as the
overwhelming tide in favor of a Demo-
cratic administration was recognized by
the Republicans, they commenced to ex-
press the hope that the victorious party
would have all the branches of the govern
ment fully in control. This was desired
that no responsibility might rest upon the
defeated party, and that tue Democracy
might be free to perpetrate all the blum.
ders which were predicted by their enc
mics.
The Democrats exhibited no reluctance
to assume all the duties that would be i'm
posed upon the party under such conditions
They were just as willing to have a major
ity in the Senate as IN the House. So far,
it seemed as though both parties would be
suited. But it looks now as though the
Republicans who talked in that way didn't
mean exactly what they said. We would
hate to insinuate that they were guilty Of
discrimination or what is vulgularly called
"bluff." but subsequent events give color
to the idea.
Just as soon as the official counts com.
menced in the different states where a
United States Senator has to be chosen
before long, schemes were devised to ma
Dipulate the returns so as TO secure Re-
publican majority in the respective legis-
lstures. This was understood by all par
ties to mean fight for retention of power
In the Senate OF the United States. In
Montana, Wyoming and North Dakots
particularly this plot is painfully apparent.
If the Republicans are so desirous that
the Democrats may stake 1t all, I" and want

they get it," why these desperate efforts &c
pave the way for the feet of Republicans
to the Senate, so that they may defeat the
object which they pretend to wish achieved

Mob Law in Misslssinni.

One of the most striking illustrations of
the evils OF LYNCH law was afforded a
short time ago at Meriden, Mississippi
The people in that neighborhood had be-
come aroused over the depredations of two
lawless despersdoes, brothers, named TON
and WALTER ToLBERT. Officers had valnly
endeavored 10 capture them, a ndmber of
deputy sheriffs were fred upon by the out
laws and in a return of shots JOHN ToL-
BERT, a brother OF the pair, was killed.
Next day the ToLBERT boys shot and killed
a deputy sheriff and opened fire or the
whole posse sent to arrest them.
The populsce, worked up to fever heat,
went TO the ToLBERT home, took out the
father of the boys and hanged him without
Judge, jury or charge of crime. His
offence was simply that he was the father
of the criminals. If every parent of law
less boys was to be held responsible for
the acts Of his children. there would be a
great many families deprived of their
paternal head.
Mob law 10 the worst law on earth. Once
in q while it looks as though tue populace
are justified in extreme measures when the
administrators Of the law fail TO do their
duty. But the principle is wrong and
what is wrong in principal cannot be right
in practice. no matter how much appear
ances may seem 10 be in its favor. There
is little chance for an accused person, how
ever innocent he may be, when a rampant
mob has decided that he is guilty on one
sided evidence, aud has determined that be
shall die.
Cases Of men shot down or hung up by
self-appointed executioners, in which it
afterwards was proven that the accused
were not guilty, have been very numerous.
But this Mississippi tragedy. 50 far as we
are aware is unique ia its unreasoning
lawlessness. 1t is not probable that the
perpetrators of that brutal crime will be
brought to justice but every individual
concerned in the killing of old man ToLBERT
ought to be indicted and tried for murder.

The Courts 10 Decide.


The dispute over the Box Elder precinct
matter in Choteare county, Montana, has
gone to the courts for adjudication. e.
E. LEACH, the Republican candidate for
the Legislature, has obtained al alternate
writ of mandamus from the Supreme
court of the state, directed to the mem oers
of the county canvassing board. 1t re-
quires them TO show cause why they
should not give certificate of election TO
returns counting in thoss OF Box Elder
precinct, which they rejected.
The HERALD has told of the action of
the canvasslng board and its effect on the
Legislature also of the views of the lead
ing Democrats of the state that the can
vassing board exceeded their powers on
going behind the returns.
Ii appears on further development of the
case that the canyassing board had some
color of authority in their action. A num-
Der of half-breeds, from twenty-five 10
twenty-five, voted at Box Elder precinct,
which is an unimportant place with but q
few scattered houses and store Only
twenty-five Of them were registered. Aft
davits signed by several of them go to show
that they were bribed to vote the RepubIi-
can tickst; that one of the judges OF cleo.
ton, q Republican, fixed their tickets for
them: that he gave them a card to the
store keeper, who paid them each $40 in
currency, and that they understood it was
in payment for voting the Republican ticket.
On these affidayits the returns of the
precinct were thrown out. This gave
HAMILTON, the Democratic candidate, the
majority of votes in the county, and he re-
ceived the certificate as having the highest
number OF votes cast. The legality of that
action is still in dispute and the mandamus
will most likely bring it to settlement.
The board of cnuvassers claim that they
had authority TO throw out the Box Elder
returns because the law provides that: SIN
canvassing the returns of the several pre-
cincts no returns shall be rejected if it eau
be readily Rscertained therefrom the num-
Der of legal votes cast for each person
named thereon" They hold that the num-
Der OF legal voters at Box Elder precinct
and under legal advice considered it was
their plain duty to reject them.
The Legislature can judge the matter Of
the right to q scat in that body, but taking
the case into the courts is no doubt the best
way TO settle it on It's full merits. Hami-
ton is considered to have a good case be-
cause bribing of the hsli-bresds is tacitly
admitted, bu: the danger of permitting
canvsssing boards to go behind the returns
at all is perceived Dy thinking men of both
parties. and this leads Democrats as well
as Republicans TO denouncs the course
taken in the present instance.

BILE for their provision If need be. even
though the immigrant has only sufficient
means to reach his destination, he may
make worthy and profitable citizen.
Some educational test as qualification
for the exercise Of the right of suffrage
may be all right and advisable; but an
educational test for immigrants seems
needless for any Of the objects alleged to
be necessary to effect, aud it is to be
expected that common sense will operate
in committee and in Congress to eliminate
all needless provisions from any immigra-
ton law that may be introduced. 1t is con-
ceded this. some measures are necessary to
keep the cholera if possible from being
carried into this country from abroad, but
an educational or money-barrier would be
like shutting out the lids with straw.

Some SINGULAR ProposItIous.

The proposition which is urged to be
brought Immediately before Congress for
the restriction Of immigration has some
provisions that might be beneficial and
others that seem to be absurd, seeing that
one Of the main purposes IN view is the
prevention of the spread Of cholera to these
shores.
1t is proposed to exclude all immigrants
between the ages of u aud SIS who cannot
read and write their native language, and
all over 50 in the same condition who are
not members Of g family coming. Also
every immigrant who has rot slOO in
money or its equivalent; heads of families
to possess S25 for each member. A con-
SUBS certificate of satisfaction from the
port Of embarkation is to be the condition
of admission.
It may be proper for the purpose OF pre-
venting pauper immigration that some
OF these precautions should be taken.
But it is difficult to sec how
compliance with these regulations would
prevent or help to prevent the coming of
cholera. II is not on record that people
who eau read and write, or who possess a
certain amount of ready cash, are exempt
from contagion.
1lliterate and impecunious people may
not be desirable on general principles as
additions to the population, but they may
be just as healthy as better informed and

Utah Suggestions in tina Report of the Sec

In the elaborate report of the secretary
of the interior we find the following:
The governor of Utah expresses his belief IN
the good faith and honesty of purpose OF the
Mormon leaders and the people IN their apan-
donment OF poIygamy, and their obedience TO
the laws of Congress on this subject Tne U an
commission seems not to have so mucn conn-
dence in the motive which compels observance
OF The law but to believe that 1t is simply q
suspension of the practice. under the authority
OF the church. and that if II could be done law
fully the authority OF the church would again
be recognized, as revoking the cessation OF the
practice But 1t is conceded that there is, WIN
exceptional cases, general recognition anu
observance of the law and the declarations OF
the officials of the church. and the proclama-
tion issued under authority OF the church seem
to indicate the fact that the Mormon people
have concluded to abandon forever the practice
of polygamy An appeal has been mace 10 the
president for general amnesty for all Mormons
who are und9r political disabilities by reason OF
violation of the law against polygamy. Inc
petition pledges the people and the cn9rch IN
distinct terms to loyal observance the law, anu
declares the devotion and loyalty OF the people
TO the country and to the government one
