THE SICK STATESMAN.
Ex-Secretary Blaine More Cheerful
Last Night.

Ex-Secretary Blaine More Cheerful
Last Night.
WASHINGTON, Dec. 23.-The news from
Mr.. Blaine this morning is more cheerful
than at any time this week, and he shows
favorable symptoms heretofore absent
He is more cheerful and little stronger
His pulse is better and temperature
lower. He also takes nourishment
better.
CATHOLIC CHURCH RITES.
New YORK, Dec. 23.-The Commercial
AdUeTtiSe1'S Washington special reiter-
ates with great pOsitiveness that Blaine
will receive the last rites of the Catholic
Church before he dies, and says Cardinal
Gibbons has been telegraped to visit
visit him.
All callers were told that Blaine was
very much better. Color was even given
to the statement that the Blaine family
were more sanguine by the fact that
Mrs. Emmons Blaine went over to New
York yesterday. Several others were
out at various times to-day, and it is evil
dence that they feel that the invalid is en-
jOying at least temporary respite, and
they hope for the best.
The President continues to manifest
the warmest sympathy for the ex-Secre-
tary.
Ii is stated that Cardinal Gibbons has
been telegraphed to visit Mr.. Blaine. 1t
will be remembered that the Cardinal
called on Mr.. Blaine when in this city a
week last Monday, but the ex-Secretary
was not sufficiently strong to talk. The
improvement in Mr.. Blaine's condition
is such that he could now probably be
permitted to converse.
At midnight DR.. Johnston had Just re-
turned to his residence from Blaine's
bedside. He found the patient Ouite as
well as at any time during the day. The
rumor prevailing that members Of the
family had telegraphed for Cardinal Glib
bons is untounded.

LABOR FOR CoNyICrs.

Is a conversation had recently with
Governor Thomas, the exercise Of the
pardoning power was incidentally
alluded TO. He stated that there were
no cases In which he was asked to
extend executive clemoncy that ap.
pealed more strongly to both his gym
patty aud judgment than those In
which the dependent families OF con-
victs were punished much more
severely than the offender against the
law himself. While the latter was
simply deprived u liberty, wives and
children were frequently left In dcstl.
tuition, and suffered from hunger and
exposure. Thee conditions tempted
them too often 10 lead lswless lives.
Mr.. Thomas thought that the laws In
relation to the punishment Of criminals
were, in this respect, deplorably de.
fective.
When asked II he could suggest
remedy, Mr.. Thomas replied that the
situstion could be at least greatly
ameliorated by providing work for
conviots, and that the surplus proceeds
Of their labor should go TO the main.
,enance OF their families, In cases
where they had people dependent upon
them. The governor has twice made
a recommendation 10 this effect to tho
government, ~ can be seen by refer
cnce to his reports Of 1850 and 1890, to
the secretary of the interior.

person capable Of performing work
ought 10 be productive. II lsa natural
and legal duty Of every capable man
who has n wife and children TO provide
for them, and convicts ought to be no
exception to this wholesome rule. We
believe there are but few criminals who
are the heads Of families so hardened
that they would not cheeriully labor
during their confinement under the
consciousness that they were 10 some
extent keeping the wolf from the doors
OF their own domiclles. Such n pro.
vision ms that recommended by the
Governor would at least mitigate the
sutierings Of numbers OF women and
children who are innocent OF any
crime, but are virtually punished
under the operaliona of the law. by

WHAT Is A PASTORS DUTY!


DIR. PAHiIIURsr Of New York was
until a few weeks ago comparatively
obscure clergyman In u large city. He
fought against sin and satan In the
usual orthodox fashion by violent
defamation ani theological logic, but
he attracted no very grea, attention
outside his own circle.
There is In New York City society
for the prevention Of vice. Tho rev.
gentleman mentioned was a short time
ago elected TO the presidency Of this
society. He then con celyed new
scheme Of combating evil. He
employed detective 10 find out the
location Of questionable resorts, aud In
company with the officer visited the
places designated. He preached strong
sermons about what he saw, aud sue
ceeded In waking up policemen
and magistrates. A perceptible
wave OF reform began to set In.
DR.. Parkhurst became holder. In
company with his lieute nan,s ho
visited dlsrcputablo places, and wit
messed the workings OF such in,tltu.
tlons. Then no appeared before n
grand Jury and had the keeper Of a
certain resort indicted.
The trial succeeding tho indictment
brought the ease into national
publicity. The disclosures made, and
the evidence given ut this investiga-
ton, gave rise to delicate Issue In
ethical jurisprudence. Was DIR. Park.
hunt Justified In descending from the
pulpit to the police department In his
efforts to suppress sin and vice? The
New York Advertiser holds that the
doctor was justified in his course, but
that the newspapers which reported
the proceedings destroyed the bene-
tcIal effects that would follow by their
publicity Of the matter. Hence because
OF pruricnt press the gentl emnn h
charged with intenslfying a thourSni-
fold the very evil he sought to oradi-
cate.
The ctri,tiaH 'Uaion supports the
Doctor and says the laws against
houses OF vice must DO enforced. Vice
ana virtue must fight until one or the
other lies dead. Vice may conquer,
but virtue must make no compromise.
Defeat but not dishonor may await vlr-

There IL no labor IN which the Lat

This Temple at salt Lake CITY has
long been In process Of erection. by the

elapsed since the laying Of the founda-

THANKSGIVING AND PRAYER.


pressed to call upon the Lalter-day
Saints to set apart day for fasting
and solemn prayer unto the LORD
Our position at that time was such
that 1t seemed as though no earthly
power could deliver US from the evil
which enviIoned Us aud which threat
.ned our overthrow. Turn which
way we would, every avenue seemou
closed against us. Human help wa. 10
yond our reach. Our eyes and hearts
snder those circumstances, turned to
the Lord NJ the only power to when
we could appeal for succor. DO we
say too much when we testify that the
Lord did on that occasion eondescend
to hear and answer the application
Of His people.
Their humiliation before Him was
not without Its fruits, II the ohJec"
which were suggested In our circular
letter at that time to be prayed for be
examined, the results will show how
wonderfully the Lord has granied the
prayers Of His people7
In view OF this, and the great mercy
shown unto US by our Father In
heaven In permitting Us, al our recent
General Conference, to lay the top
stone OF the salt Lake Temple with
shouts OF Hosanna to God and the
Lamb, II has suggested Itself to us that
II would be most appropriate for the
Latter.day Saints to gather In their
various pln ces OF worship, ON Sunday
the frt day OF May, 1892, and In fast
ing and prayer, offer up to the Most
High their heartfelt, and solemn
thanksgivings for His goodness and
mercy, which lie has shown unto them
and the delivernnce that He has
wrought out In their behalf.
surely, no people have greater cause
fer thanksgiving aud praise than have
the Latter-day Saints throughout these
mountains. And as we cannot ha We
occasion for Thanksgiving because OF
dellveranco wrought our for Us, With
out our brethren and sisters In other
lands sharing In our Joy, II Ia proper
that they, too, should select day, as
may be- suitable and convenient to
them, In like manner to fast aud pray
and offer up their gratitude and thanks
to he Great Creator for the blessings
lie has bestowed upon His people.
We have decided to select Sunday
for this purpose, because II can NEE,
with more general Observance on
the part Of all the people than would be
possible upon any other day.
Every man, woman and child be-
longing 10 our Church should join

COLUMBIA, S. G., Dec. 1.-The bill
putting the absolute control of all rail-
roads in the state into the hands of the
railroad commission, from whose deci-
sion there shall be no appeal, has been
signed by Governor Tillman.
A mass meeting of railroad employees
was held in this city and committee
was appointed to wait upon the gover-
nor in regard to the bill. After hearing
their mission the governor said: "The
bill has already been signed and is now
law. The opposition of eight or ten
thousand railroad employees does not
amount to a d compared with the
fifty or sixty Thousand farmers demand
ing its passage"
The effect of this was rather inham-
matory. A mass meeting of all railroad
employees in the state was called for
Thursday next and battle cry will
then begin in earnest against the Till
man movement.
