Must Conform to the Law.

The Chinese in this country naturally
resent the operations of the law requiring
them to register by photography. They
pose to fight the law and also to null
lily if possible. Some lawyers of the
land have succeeded in working them up
into q liIgant if not actually rebelIious
frame O mind with view, OF course. to
fees
abe Cinnamon are claiming that the
law is unconstitutional, but it does not
appear on what portion of the supreme
law the claim is founded. They are not
citizens of the United States, and what
ever might be thought of the policy or ex-
pediency of the measure, the government
might, without violence to the constitu-
ton, expel the whole body of the subjects
of the celestial empire from the country.
1t is said there are as many as hundred
thousand of them in the United States,
and that most of them are here
through committing perjury. The
registration law was enacted as necessity
to meet that condition OF affairs. Of course
any forcible resistance to the laws is out
Of the question, and the friends of the
Chinese would do well to advise them not
to fight the government on this matter
even through the courts. They will prob
ably spend their money in vain.
1t is reported that Philadelphia pho
tographer has hit upon a plan to help the
pig-talled yellow men. He can take
photographs which will fade and in year
become unrecognizable. He will teach
the Mongoiians the art, and so a lot Of
faded photographs will be on collection
in the registrars offices.
This is probably newspaper "fake. -
Whether it is true or false, what good
would it do? The photograph is for the
Identification of the sitter to establish his
right to remain in the country. If the
figure fades his Identification certificate,
SO to speak, is gone. He viii simply

that is vain.'' The ssheathen Chinee''
had better conform TO the law and save
himself further trouble and cost.

The Trolley Must Go.

We believe the present trolley system
expensive, incomplete, liable to break
ages and consequent stoppaecs of all the
cars, and aids in aggregating the over
head wire nuisance that disdgures all the
great cities of the land. Electric motive
power will not go. 1t is the future force
which has not yet developed 1.-THE of its
capabilities. 1t IS in the manner of its
application and REINFORCEMENT OF appa-
ratus that changes will be made.
The storage battery system is likely to
succeed and take the place of the trolley
system. Like its predecessors it has made
some failures, has been laughed at and
denounced and misrepresented; but it
represents principle and is bound to be
established. The possibilities it opens up
are wonderful to contemplate. If half of
them were told it would I'LL book and
make tale equal to the Arabian nights.
We will not commence to unfold it but
In Detroit for number of days car
has been running side by side with the
trolley cars and operated by the WOOD
WARD storage battery. 1t has made its
regular ten trip-seventy miles-service
every day and has not had single break.
AS high as eighty-five passengers have
been carried at load, the car stopping
and starting when ever required to re-
ceive or let them off. Every trip was
made on time, with less noise and more
smoothness than on the trolley cars.
The battery is charged, according to
the power needed, by traction engine of
fifteen horse power and 100 volt dy-
namo. 1t works at night and takes seven
hours in charging the storage battery
with 800 amperes of power, which is sui
ficient Tor the ten trips. 1t is stated that
five storage batteries could be charged in
the same time and at the same cost SIS it
now takes for one.
The expense of the storage battery is
said TO DO less than that of the trolley
system. Cars can be run now at least
one dollar car per day cheaper. Only
the amount OF power needed may be
used, while in the present system the
maximum power must be kept up con-
tinuously, for it Is not known what
power each motor may need at different
times when in operation. This takes q
large amount of fuel, as can readily be
understood.
Another thing; the storage battery Is
entirely harmless. Any part OF it may be
touched without the least shock. Also by
this system If anything goes wrong with
one car, it does not block the system, nor
are lot of cars stalled if anything is out
of order at the power house. Each car is,

Troous at the Fair.

Some criticism has been passed on Gen
#eral SoHoFIELD because he is opposed to
military eucampment at the World s
Fair. Such a massing Of troops would
bring there 100, 900 men including militia
with the regular soldiers. The General
says it would be difficult to find room for
them near the exposition at place suita-
blefor military maneuvres, that it wonid
entail great expense, and that there is
not time now to give the officers such in
structions as are necessary to make the
handling otsuch body OF men enec-
tive.
lti argued that the last named state
ment puts our military system in bad
light. Three months should be ample
time in which TO gather and drill the mil
formed militia OF the country from the
different states. That for the national
defense it is necessary that they should
be SO organized that they might be called

best interests of the territory. They have
patiently and hopefully looked forward to
the day of deli7erance, when there should
be no dividing lines between themselves
and the Gentiles, and when they should
no longer be made to wear an unwilling
brand of opprobrium.
The dawn has come at last. The elders
of the church have accepted the situation.
The strained relations that 80 long existed
between Utah and the general govern
ment no longer exist Smiles have been
substituted for frowns, amnesty for pro-
scription, friendly recognition for statu-
tory confiscation, and Respondent fu
ture OF liberty and progress is now assured
to territory that was sc long under
double ban of repression.
The people OF Utah are to be congratu-
lated upon the issue and upon the pros
pect it opens to them of early admission
to statehood. The territory is one of the
garden spots of the Union. Its citizens,
Irrespective of religious faith, are thrifty,
energetic, ambitious. They are working
in good faith together to common and
glorious destiny. They have at every
hand resources OF untold wealth, IN the
development of which they are unitedly
engaged. Theirs are the elements of q
magnificent and prosperous state, and it
is to be hoped their expectations will soon
be realized.

How DO our friends who have been
criticizing The HERALD for explaining
the true meaning of the amnesty procla-
nation like this definition of it given by
Judge ZANE? ''If a man has more than
one wife living and claims or treats more
than one woman as a wife, even though
he may not cohabit with more than one,
he is polygamist, and the amnesty
proclamation does not restore his right to
vote.'' Will they open their storage bat
teries of anger and pour out their walls o
wrath on his devoted head, too? Neither
THE HERALD nor the Judge desires to set
forth anything but the situation in the
light of the law and the amnesty.

Can't Be Too Particular.


A decision recently given by Judge
dunno in habeas corpus case in Chicago
is likely to increase the number of bad
characters at large in that city. WILLIAM
SPRIecs was confined in the house of cor
rection il default of paying fine OF a
hundred dollars for disorderly conduct.
The attorney acting for the defense
claimed there was no such crime known
to the present ordinances of the city, and
Judge DUNE after examining the case
came to the same conclusion. SPRIGGs
was therefore released.
1t appears that there are about two
hundred such cases in the house of correc-
ton and they are all liable to be decided
in the same way. 1t is possible that but
few of the imprisoned persons have
friends or means to bring forward their
claims to discharge, or they would be
all turned loose upon the city of burglars,
robbers, ruffians and confidence men.
But they are illegally detained, as ap-
pears from the decision in the SPRIGGs
case, and it may be that the keeper will
set them at liberty, anyway, seeing he
has no legal right to detain them.
In the revision of the ordinances OF Salt
Lake City it is to be hoped that no omis-
sions have been made that may lead to
similar mistakes. At one time there were
several miscarriages of justice here over
the terms assault and battery. - which
were then unknown to the local laws.
When charges are preferred and arrests
are made it should be clear that there is
law behind to support them.
'sDisorderly conduct is very vague
expression, and while it seems to have
been enough when proven against Chi
cago tough to send him to jail, will
henceforth be dropped by policemen and
police justices and attorneys and some
thing more specific substituted. In legal
matters, whether they be civil or crimi-
nal, one cam t be too particular.

Democrats to the Rescue.

The Democrats In Kansas have united
with the Republicans in the interest of
order and the public welfare. That brings
the Popaists into submission, tempo
rarily. 1t does not follow that the Demo-
Gratis will vote with the Republicans on
the important questions that viii come
before the legislature, but it secures the
organization OF one legal body instead of
two illegal bodies or two mere factions
fighting for supremacy.
In Nebraska the Democrats fuse with
the Populists for a similar purpose, re-
fusing, however, to unseat the Republ-
can speaker. This secures order and legis-
lation in that state.
This is a gratifying solution of the seri-
GUS problem that confronted the people
in each of those states. 1t is pleasing to
know that the Democrats have solved it
by their public-spirited action. Fusion
with their political opponents for any
purpose is not usually pleasant to them,
but occasionally it becomes necessary in
tne public interest and the welfare OF the
people should be first in the heart of every
true Democrat.
When thoroughly organized on the
proper basis and work is commenced, the
Democrats in Nebraska and in Kansas
will be heard from and will take the
course which seems right to them, re-

UTAH AND AMNESTY.

TFrom the Washington Post.

From the Washington Post.
After ten years of severe discipline at
the hands OF the general government the
Mormons of Utah have been finally de-
clared, by presidential proclamation, to
be good and loyal citizens of the United
States. The general amnesty extended by
Mr.. Harrison to those OF the Latter day
Saints who have abstsined from polyga-
nous practices since Nov. /, 1890, is I'M
derstood to mean that what was once the
s'peculiar institution of the Mormon
church is practically done away with, that
it will no longer be sanctioned, and is in
no danger of revival. The government
does we'll in taking the church at its word
1t will remain for the impartial hlstor-
ian OF the future to properly analyze the
legislation OF Congress with regard to
this question, and to point out wherein
it may not in all respects have been just,
or whether the means adopted for the ex-
tirpatlon OF an obnoxious system may not
to some extent have been unwarranted,
but there is universal agreement upon
this one point, aud that is, that between
poiygamy as preached in Utah and mar
riage as ordained and recognized by the
laws of the United States there was an ir-
represslble conflict, which in the very
nature of things had to result in the over
throw OF the former. Polygamy, like
slavery, was predestlned to fall, and as in
the one case, so in tho other, the mourn
ers are few.
The younger generation OF Mormons
have long since abjured, even ii they ever
profesSed, the faith OF their fathers in
this respect. They have felt how like q
yoke the institution hung about their
neclSs and operated prejudicially to the
