BoRDENTowN, N. ". Sept. 29.-Mayor
John o. Hudson gave hearing in the
case Of Lena Brown, ths woman who
killed her son Charles, aged years, and
George and Joseph Bogart mot Bowker,
as reported yesterday, sons of William
Bogart, aged respectively 8 aud / 1-2
years, while the parents were attending
the interstate fair at Trenton. The
woman admitted the above facts, stating
that her boy fell down stairs, and that
afterwards she choked him until he was
dead. She then sent Joseph into another
room and choked him to death. Tho
other child entered the room, and she
used the same means to kill him.
The woman added that she wept and
moaned throughout the entire night, and
said that she was awfully sorry for the
deed that she had committed and did not
know why she did it.
Refused Admittance to Their Home.
The Bogart family arrived home i'm
mediately after the coroner reached the
scene of the murder. The Bogarts heard
of the murder of their children almost
before they stepped from the cars, and
the half mile from the depot to the house
was covered by them in very few min
utes. The father was wild with agony,
and the mother was hysterical. When
they arrived at the house the policeman
on guard in front refused them admit
tance. A few minutes later an under
takers wagon drove up, and the three
little bodies were removed to Keeler's
morgue. The family were then admitted
to the house.
Lena Schmidt, or Brown, the muir
deress, is 3S years of age, is rather good
looking, and brunette. She has spent
some of her time in the county Jail mt
Mt. Holly. Some time ago she became
acquainted with young man in Mt.
Holly, and the two came here together.
The young man was a blonde about 80
years of age. The two were arrested
here and committed for disorderly con
duct. 1t is believed that her child,
which she murdered, was legitimate
one. and that her fast life caused her to
separate from her husband. One of the
saddest features of the case is that the
murderess will become mother within
few weeks.
Indicted for Murder.
MT. HOLLY, N, j., Sept. 29.-Lena
Brown is well known here. For long
time she has been by far the most noto-
rious woman in town, and associated
only with the lowest and vilest. She
formerly resided in Burlington, where
she was employed as a domestic in the
family of John Gilbert. While there
she committed an assault on Mr.. Gill
bert's aged mother, a woman past 80
years of age, for which she was conf
lnitted to Jail Afterwards she was re-
leased on bail, Mr.. Gilbert being one of
her bondsmen. During her stay in Jail
she had her little son with her. When
she was arrested family in Burlington
offered to take care of the child, but the
offer was refused by the mother. The
murderess was brought here yesterday
and placed in Jail. Within an hour after
her arrival she was indicted for willful
murder. The defense will be that she is

Mormon Church Pronertx.

The decision of the Supreme Court OF
Utah, delivered yesterday by Chief JUS
ticc ZANE, is to the effect that the personal
property of the Mormon Church is to be
vested in trustee appointed by the court,
and used for the support of the poor of that
church and for the erection and repairing
of its houses of worship. This, though no,
fully what was claimed by counsel for the
church, is SO near to it that great sstisfac-
ton will no doubt be felt by its members
with the decision
Judge ZANE was in favor of vesting the
property in the First Presidency Of the
Church and their successors in office, TO be
applied for church purposes according to
the will of the donors, as the polygamous
purposes declared to be unlawful are NO
longer part of the intent of the contribu-
tors to the fund. But the majority of the
court contended that the operty should
be held by trustee, and maiorities rule in
courts as well as congresses.
This ruling of course has no effect upon
the real estate of the church, but only on
It's personal property. That will now be
used for church purposes as originally in
tended by the donors, limited. however, as
above described. We believe all will admit
that this decision is equitable.

Who's Afraid OF chean tioods2

Working people need not worry over the
predictions of the Republican press con-
corning the effects on wages of the political
revolution. The Tribune informs them
that, ''There can be but one result. If
the men of this country get goods
cheaper they will be simply cheaper
men; that is all" Well, let them
try it and see Ii working
man get real wool suit Of clothes for So
instead of shoddy cotton wool suit for S12
or S15, VIII he feel any cheaper III the good
suit than in the poor one, simply because it
cost him lessl Or will be be cheaper man
because he has saved money! WIN he
not be richer man to the amount that he
gains by this lessening Of the COST of his
clothingl
What nonsense it is to repeat this hum
bug, which botn McKINLEY and HARRISON
have themselves discarded After start
ing the fallacy that "a cheap coat makes a
cheap man." they both saw its folly and
turning round tried to make it appear that
a high tariff cheapened the cost OF com
modities aud caused competition that
lowered prices, and that the MCKINLEY
bill thus became boon TO the working
man.
You can't brighten the lsboring people
with eny such cries: Both men and
women laugh 1t them. FLOODING the
country with cheap goods" SO long as they
are good goods, will carry no consterna-
tion to the working classes. They
will not freeze in winter because
coat or a shawl is cheapeued in
price, any more than with fire fed by coal
which the Tribune demands shall be furu-
ished at less than half the present rates.
Will cheap coal make cheap peoples In one
column our neighDor fumes and fuses over
cheap goods, and in another, in the same
issue, it goes wild in its championship Of
cheap coal. But it would be vain to expect
consistency from such source

the Democratic policy arises from q false

A Wool Scare

Last year It cost one of the largest sheep men
| in Utah 10 cents pound to raise wool. He
sold it for 10 cents a pound-a very high price.
When the tariff shall be taken off the price viii
fall TO about II cents pound there Will be 70
profit in wool and a great industry will be de-
stroyed.
! We clip the foregoing from Utah Re
publican sheet. Either the editor has been
deceived by lone of the largest sheep men"
or he is seeking to pull wool over the eyes
of the public. Is does not cost anything
like the amount named TO 'traise wool"
The profits on the sheep industry in Utah
are enormous. If the price OF wool
should fall to II cents pound, there would
still be returns on investments much larger
than on any other branches of regular in
dustry.
One of the sheep companies in Iron
county, with its headquarters at Cedar
City, recently declared a dividend of 80
per cent for 1892. It pays to herders $50 g
month. TIE flock numbers 10000 head.
The increase OF the herd was 81 per cent.
1t was selling the fall clip for from l to 10
cents pound. It is a co operative herd
and therefore has expenses above those OF
strictly private enterprise, and yet it
pays tins enormous dividend.
But other sheep com anies and owners
in southern Utah confess that they have
reaped lager profits than this. They
take sheep on shares, allot from III
teen TO twenty lambs on the hundred aud
two pounds of wool per head, and keep the
old stock good. Even with these large re-
turns to the owners they claim to make
even greater gains than the figures We
have quoted from Cedar City,
Eut how does the tariff alarmist arrive
at the knowledge that when wool is ad-
mltted free of duty, the price of the native
product will falls There is nothing au-
thetic in figures showing the prices OF wool
under low tariff and under high tariff,
to warrant any such conclusion.
The probabilities are that when the tariff
is taken off wool aud the spectators have
finished their work of unsettling the
market, the wool-growers of the United
States will lind brisker market by rea-
son of the great demand for native
woods to mix with the foreign,
and so prices will be maintained
ac1 probably receive a raise And
the fact is that the wool growers of Utah
will find great profits in the sheep in
dustry, considering the natural increase of
their tocks. if the price of wool should go
down even lower than the figure which our
Republican alarmist puts as sign Of in
evitable ruin.
The sheep business is ali right, tariff or
no tariff.

I
The October run Of the Lehi sugar works
amounted to 7oS, 400 pounds. That entities
the company to 1881 bounty from the
territorial treasury. Secretary SELLS has
drawn warrants for that sum. and in ad-
dition the company win receive from the
United States treasury sl5,66S. making a
total for the month of S23, 503 That is a
very nice little sugar plum by way OF a
bounty. Ia Septem Der the run was not so
large, the aggregate amount in bounties
netting the company butS3, 954. If sufficient
sugar is made this year to claim the rest
of the Utah bounty, a little over $1,000
more will be drawn from the territorial
treasury and more than $50, 600 additional
from the United States treasury. Nobody
grudges this money to the sugar company
but most people think it will have had
enough of the public funds by the time al
the $50, geo appropriated by the Utah legis-
]ature is drawn, which means also 500, C00
from the national bounty appropriation,
OF 500, 900 IN all.
A disgruntled contemporary tries t.
alarm the farmers with the false cry tnat,
'The chances are the Utah Sugar company
will have to so out of business, as the.
farmers cannot afford to raise beets to
compete with the German beet rasers.
etc" The answer to this is. the chances
are the Utah Sugar company will go on
just the same when the territor al bounty
of one cent pound IS exhausted. For, in
the first place. the company is aole to make
sugar at profit without any bounty. and
1 II ut ~ fa l,,
perpetually maintained at the public ex-
pense; and in the second place, the national
bounty OF two cents a pound will remain
for some time TO come, so there is no ren-
son in raising the false alarm about ruin
to the sugar industry"
Another thing The beet growers do not
come in for any share of this bounty, local
or national. The sugar companies of the
country get their beets at as low a figure
as possible. Manufacturers do not divide
with the farmers. The agriculturist re-
oeives no bounty, directly or indidi-
rectly. He gets what the companies
that buy his products choose 10 pay
him, nothing more. If ne cannot command
enough to remunerate him for raising
beets, he will grow something else on his
land, that's all. He is not brought into
competition with the German or any ether
foreign beet grower. 1t is true the Ameri-
can sugar companies come into competition
with foreign companies, but that is d ques-
ton of manufacture rather than of agricul-
ture, and the beet grower will get no more
per ton for his raw MATERIAL whether
the manufacturers reap large or small re-
turns on their investments.
Anyhow, the alarm will prove TO be only
one of the scares with which the Republic
cans are now seeking to terrlfy the misin-
formed. and which are as useless as they
are absurd. seeing that the election is past
and they are OF no value even as RepubIi-
can political receptions.

conception, or rather false presentation,
OF that policy. No leading Democrat advo-
Gates the abolition Of the tariff. The chief
issue of the campaign was tariff REFORM
not tariff destruction.
There need be no injury to the great
manufacturing industries of the country
by reduction of the enormous duties i'm
posed under Repu blican msmanagement of
public affairs. No reduction Of wages will
be necessary that those enterprises may
be maintained. 1t may be that a lit
tie less profit may at first accrue
to the capitalist, but the increase in de-
mand because of the cheapening Of com
modites will make some compensation
Combined labor will see to it that wages
are not cut down when there is no reason
able cause for decrease, and cheaper
goods will inure TO the benefit of the WORK
ing people.
The talk about factories being entirely
squelched'' is childish. II is the same
ABOUT the closing down of mines. How did
the factories manage to flourish before the
MCKINLEY bill was passed, and how aid
the mines contrive TO keep open before the

must think that its readers, whether min
ers or agriculturists, are without reason
and iuform itlon.
The country has seen through all this
tariff imposition, and the vote on Tuesday
was the popular voice for It's condemnation.
The Republican press might just rs well
stop its ieremiads aud its premonitions of
impending ruin, for they accomplish
nothing but demonstration OF their own
chagrin and disappointment.

Meadlesome and Premature.

Our Republican friends are busiiy en-
gagged in getting up "slatesn for the guild
ance of the great Democratic party as TO
appointments for local offices. They are
claiming too that 1.-The Saints' are arguing
that as they furnished most of the votes
they must have most OF the rewards.
Therefore they try to make it appear that
great things are going TO happen and there
is going to be a terrible struggle for places
ana a consequent political upheaval that
win be very interesting if not dangerous.
Now, ould it not be just as well for our
Republican slate makers TO be little more
modest and leave this matter to those who
will have some voice in the arrangements
We do not think the Democrats of Utah
have commenced any such premature work
as psrceliing out Offices. either for the ter
ritory or the coming state. And we have
heard no intimation that ''the Saints'i are
agitated over this question any mora than
are the sinners.
II will be several months to come before
any great changes in Utah official circles
can be made, aud there need be no excite
ment over the probable result We know
of none among the Democratic majority

which is a thing before its time, anyhow.
