must not be confounded with the Grim
inal provisions of the acts of Congress
referred to, nor must the constitutional
authority OF the President to pardon
criminal offenses be construed to mean
power to annul law of the United States.
THE HERALD has no disposition and
has shown no desire to belittle the action
Of the President. There is no need to do
50. But we desire that there shall be no
mistake on this important matter. A
great many people have been misled as to
the extent of the amnesty and that will
be of no earthly benefit TO them. Only
by some new judicial ruling as TO the
term polygamist, or radical change of
the registration oath or the repeal OF pro-
visions cited above can any, man who
holds the relation Of husband to more
than one wife vote or hold Office in Utah.
All the pardons that could be issued or
amnesties that might be written would
not set aside the law or change the exist
ing status OF one polygamous individual.

Entertaining. the Aged.

The Old Folks entertainments which
are occasionally provided, including the
annual excursion to which they look for
ward with so much pleasure, are among
the many good things to be found in
Utah. Kindness to the aged is a true
mark of civilization. The more barbarous
and brutal race the more indifference or
actual violence is exhibited to the old and
helpless. Where the aged and infirm are
held in reverence and endeavors are made
to smooth their path and surround them
with comforts and pleasures, there is evil
dence of culture and refinement.
The Old Folks committee in this city
have won the appreciation and enlisted
the sympathies and help of the best peo-
pie here, through their successful labors
in years that are past. THE HERALD is
glad TO see that the committee are still
alive and alert and anxious to do some
thing for their special proteges at this sea-
son. We have been requested to notice
their new effort to benefit the old folks,
and do so with pleasure.
A free entertainment will be given for
all the aged people in the CITY over
seventy years of age regardless of sect,
creed, party or color, at the Theatre on
Wednesday, January 18th at 2 p. m. The
parquette will be reserved for the old
folks, the first and second circle for the
WIDOWS, and the upper circle for the deaf
mutes. This adds some features to the
"old foIks' part of the arrangement and
win be duly appreciated.
The play of "The Octoroonn will be
presented by well known Thespians of
Utah. and every care will be taken to
make the performance pleasant to the
beneficiaries. Old folks wearing badges
will ride on the street cars free to and
from the Theatre

Powers OF the President.

! Very erroneous ideas are entertained by
some people in regard to the powers OF
the president OF the United States. The
constitution defines and limits them. His
duty is to execute the laws. He may sug-
gest to the Congress subjects for legisla-
ton, but he can neither make law nor
set aside a law. He can interpose his
veto when any measure passes both
Houses of Congress, but it can be enacted
over his veto and without his signature
by two-thirds majority vote OF the
national legislature.
The president is authorized by the con-
stitution to grant pardons for offences
committed against the United States.
But that is not power to abrogate law.
Amnesty is part of the pardoning power.
In some cases in which, if 1.-THE full penalty
of the law was carried out, the offender
would be deprived of his right to vote and
hold office, pardon will restore him to
his former status because his loss of the
franchise was conseqent upon his con-
viction. Usually, the crime of felony
works this disfranchisement and pardon
restores the convict to his former status.
We suppose that this is what gives rise
to the notion that amnesty to person, or
to class of persons, who have violated
the acts of Congress in reference to
polygamous practices in the Territories,
will give him or them the right to vote
and hold Office. But little information
and reflection will show that this is
mistake.
While those acts OF Congress exist, the
disabilities which they create exist. No
president or Judge can set them aside
Only the law-making power can repeal
them. The provisions which disfranchise
bigamists, polygamists and persons who
cohabit with more than one woman, are
separate and distinct from the penal Sec
tions that prescribe fine and 1mprison-
ment for persons convicted of those
offenses. If the provisions of the laws in
regard to penalties or conviction were
expunged by act of Congress, leaving
nothing in relation to the offenses named
for the President to pardon or for the
courts to prosecute, the disabilities as to
voting and office-holding and iury-serv-
ing would remain in the same force as
ever. They do not depend upon any trial
or conviction, but relate to status that
exists without even criminal charge.
Section eight of the EDMUNDs law and
the last clause of section twenty-four of
the EDMUNDs- TUCKER act show this in
the clearest manner to every careful
reader. II there was no prosecution at
all for these offences, bigamist or poly
gamist, or person who cohabits polygam-
ously with persons of the other sex can
not, under the laws of Congress, vote or
hold Office or serve on jury.
The President of the United States has
no more power to annul these provision
of the law than has BABY MCKEE. They
are not penalties for violation OF law, but
statutory qualifications or rather disquali-
ficatlons for political purposes. They

A RELIGIONS Invasion.

Some of the good people OF the United
States are ruf1ed over the reported at
tempt to introduce Mohammedism into
the United States. There is a certain
amount OF egolsm about all religious sec
taries. Their own particular ism is the
ne plus ultra OF doctrine and form. The
4 idea that there can be anything in the
precepts of ISLAM that Christian would
be the better for, is of course proposter-
GUS ana unworthy OF thought. But,
nevertheless, there is to be an effort to
convert people in this country to the
creed of MoHAMMED and the faith OF the
Koran.
A consul OF the United States named
ALEXANDER RUSSELL WEBB has become
ieryent disciple OF the Arabian prophet,
and with the zeal of new convert wants
to bring other folks to his views of reli-
gion. This is all right and he should
have full liberty OF speech and of the
press, if he can get anyone to hear him or
read what he writes. and it is not at all
improbable that he may be able to give
orthodox Christians pointers on good con-
duct ii not on theoretical theology.
OF course Mr.. WEBB does not intend to
pattern after the manner of proselytism
said to have been introduced by the great
founder of the Moslem faith The sword
is ,a1o1rad ont nc n ,r,ao,on -, +ho ,r,,
against unbeIief. Force OF every kind
for that purpose must be put away. By
pacific latter-day means the Mohamme-
dan evangelist may accomplish something
in this land OF religious liberty.
One good thing about Islamism is its
antipathy to intoxicants, and that will
probably be bar to its progress among
American Christians unless they are pro-
hibitionists. Dropping down on the
knees in public places at the hours of
prayer will not be taken kindly to, and
we are afraid the American boy will make
more improper sport out of it than he
does with the Salvation Army.
There is another obstruction in the
way; the marriage doctrine of Mo-
HAMMED. True, the founders of this ma
ton contended for the religious freedom
of all sects, the Mohammedan as we'll as
the Christian, the Pagan as we'll as the
Jew, under the broad provisions of the
Constitution of our country. But the
laws of the various states and the Con-
gressional laws in the territories will be a
hindrance to the PRONUNCIATION of Mo-
hammedan marital ideas. for they mean
matrimony enlarged and on the stimuli
taneous principle, not promiscuity or
multiplied consecutive marriages after the
latest American fashions.
We are inclined to the opinion that the
Mohammedan WEBB will not catch many
flies in this country, but all the same he
may make stir among the folks who are
attracted by theosophy, spiritism, relig-
ious science and other fads of that sort,
and possibly he may offer some food for
thought that will be of benefit even to the
good Christians of the most enlightened
nations under the sun.

TOMORROW IN every state the electoral
colleges meet to vote for president and
vice president. They Will strictly comply
with the provisions of the act of 1887,
though some of the states have not
changed their laws to comply with the
Federal statute. Notably is this the case
in Kentucky, Mississippi and Tennessee.
In Kentucky, the state law provides fol
for the casting OF the vote on the first
Wednesday of December. In Tennessee
the law is similar, and elsewhere the
state laws call Tor meetings during De-
cember and January at various times.
No heed has been given of late, however.
to the state laws. and the Federal enact
ment will be obeyed faithfully.

ties have been convicted. Amnesty is
the remission of the consequences of a
crime. and may be after or before convic-

might be guilty of maintaining and rec
ognizing the polygamous relation
This ruling was consequent upon the
argument made at the time by attorneys,
that amnesty was the only means by
which a polygamous relation could be
dissolved, and His Honor showed that
neither amnesty nor pardon had any such

Get In Ont OF the Vet.

This is Jackson day, and tomorrow it
will be celebrated by spread at one OF
the hotels by the stockholding branch OF
the fraternity.
What we have to say in this connection
is to ask, in view of the progress of events
in this territory and in the nation at
large, if it is not about time that the pro-
fessed Democrats, training under the
title OF Tuscaroras, dropped their fac
tional lad Ind fell into line with the regu-
lal organization? They must have be-
come convinced by this time that by
themselves they are nothing in politics
whatever they may be in club life.
At Chicago. with it's best side out, its
paint and feathers and banners and band,
its sachems and medicine men, and all the
rest OF the trumpery and bun
combe, the clique did not gain
recognition, like a trick, nor figure
at all in the national ranks. We do not
mention this to cause them any chagrin
but simply to suggest that it is time for
them to quit playing savage and go in
for serious work within the lines of the
legitimate party.
The changed conditions in Utah are
now recognized by the head of the nation.
Other changes are imminent. The
shadows of coming events ought to fall
upon the Tuscaroras today and s'give
them pause. Outside OF the regular
party, what are they? Inside, what may
they not be?
