TRYING TO SHUT OFF THE LIGHT.

\ contemporary wants proof of any
evidence of a disposition to count out
a majority of the duly elected dele
gates to the Constitutional Conven-
ton"
That is the way in which the Trib-
une lodges the demand of The Herald
for proof of the charges, which are be-
ing made nearly every day, against
the Utah Commissioners and some
other persons not named and who APP
pear to be unknown. We do not want
evidence of a "disposition;" we ask
for proof OF guilt. Our request was
that 'if anybody is guilty of corrupt
and criminal conduct" the charges be
made specific and the culprit be
prosecuted whoever and whatever ne
may be-

crime? Was it the judges of. election
or either of them? Or was it the
Utah Commission or either of that
body? Who is it that is trying to
steal the Constitutional Convention"
and how is the stealing to be done?
The original charge was against the
Democratic members of the Commits
sion for sending for the ballot boxes
from Sanpete. The proofs were furn-
ished that it was on motion of one Re
publican Commissioner. and the sec
ending by the other Republican Com
missioner. that the ballot-boxes were
sent for by telegraph. Then the Trib-
une jumped from its position and said,
the reason why the Sanpete ballot
boxes were demanded by the Republi-
can member was because of what had
been done with the Weber ballot
boxes. But the record shows that the
Sanpete boxes were telegraphed for
several days before the demand for
the Weber boxes was made. Now all
that is ignored, and it is alleged that
there is no law for requiring the bal
lot-boxes to be sent in at all.
The law is very clear on the sub
ject. 1t requires that the. eanyassers
shall accept the returns as correct, IF
no irregularity or discrepancy appears
therein affecting the result of the cleo
ton of any candidate" In these cases.
discrepancies do appear, and it is
claimed they do affect the election of
candidates. They cannot be denied.
They show on the face of the returns.
The law further provides that in such
an event the ballots shall be opened
and canvassed, 80 far as to deter
mine the. rights of the person whose
Office may be affected.
That is just what the Commission
is endeavoring to do. The opposition
is aimed at the prevention of this in
vestigation. Every legal technicality
and process possible are being used

Last Sunday the Rev. DR.. Charles
Wood, Of the First Presbyterian church
of Germantown, preached on the text
The Love OF Money is the Root of All
Evil" So effective was the sermon that
the contributions were some three hun
bred dollars. While the Doctor was
talking with some of his parishioners,
a stranger, a smooth stranger, stepped
up to HIM and said: For years / have
heard repeatedly of the fashionable
character of your congregation, of your
eloquefce as minister and of the
magniffcence of your edifice. 1 am now
convinced after attending service to-
day that nothing I have heard about
this church has been magnified.' The
good clergyman patted him on the back
and said ne would be glad to have the
pleasure of numbering him among the
members of his congregation. The
stranger fairly beamed at the gracious
reception, and after repeating his inn
precision of the church, he bowed and
walked away. Just after this the treas
urea Informed the Doctor THAI the money
collected was gone. And now they are
anxious to find that pleasant stranger.
Here was living illustration Of the
truth Of the text.

Read S. A. Kenner's letter on the
cases of Anderson and Willis. It throws
light on both. Anderson is probably
a nonresident Of Utah. II so, the Re
puhlicans will lose one member Of the
constitutional convention. The Willis
case ought certainly TO have been ap-
pealed. There is no doubt in the minds
of men who understand the points in
volved, that the result would be a
complete reversal of the Bartch deci-
sion. Some means ought to be devised
TO get the question before the higher
court.

interesting Interview.

In an interview with w. A. Led
better he says:
From the time congress convened
much interest was shown in Territory
affairs, he is also deSirous to make
statement Of the situation, to the
business men Of Ardmore, as he found
it to be in Washington, he says the
sooner they can be got together and
discuss the matter, the better it will
be for them. He believes that Ter
ritorial form Of government will be
established over the Territory, and
the tribal governments swept away
at the present session. On the Ques-
tion of townsite legislation, he found
divided opinion among those who
had given the matter their attention.
Some whose opinion and influence
will have much weight, favor an ap-
praisment of town lots. That would
ruin the business men of the towns in
the Chickasaw Nation, it will he says,
be absolutely necessary for us to make
fight on this point. Those parties
seem to think that lots ought TO be
appraised at their present value, and
owners of the improvements thereon
compelled to pay that price regardless
Of what has already been paid. This
would not only be unfair but ruinous.
The only fair and just appraisment
to be put on lots is the value Of the
lots at the time the town situated
thereon was begun. Legislation, he
says, fixing the basis of appraisment
should engage the best efforts OF the
people, and to that end meeting OF
all who are interested, and that Ii
every property holder, will be held to
morrow, Friday afternoon at o'clocl
