A PLEASANT TERMINATION.

The long litigation over the personal
property of the Mormon church has
received a very pleasant termination.
Yesterday the report of the Master
was made to the Supreme court of the
territory. and a decree prepared in ac-
cordance with the Act of Congress re-
storing the property was adopted by
the court. This turns over the money
held by the receiver to the authorities
of the church to be expended in pay
ment Of its debts, for the relief of its
poor and distressed members, for the
education of the children of church
members. and the repairing and build
ing of houses of worship in which
polygamous principles shall not be in
'culcated.
That is a REIMBURSEMENT of all the
personal property claimed by the re-
ceiver as forfeited to the government.
The terms under which it is restored
will not be objected to. as they are
broad and ample for needed uses. The
particulars viii be found in another
column.
There remains now in litigation the
real estate which is in the hands of the
receiver. It consists of the Gardo
House, the Historians office, the Tith-
ing Office. and grounds attached to
each. the church farm and the coal
lands. The case in relation to them is
pending in the Supreme Court of the
United States. It will most likely be
decided favorably tc the church as to
the greater part of the property, Unless
action by that court is rendered I'M
necessary by a congressional provision,
restoring it as the personal property
has been restored.
There is now no need for the con-
fscation, looking at it even from the
most extreme standpoint. And taking
the laws as they stand on the statute
books of the nation. it is only by
very extreme construction that the
Gardo House which was a parsonage,
and the Tithing office and Historians
office which were held before the pas
sage of the law of escheat, could be
held as forfeit to the United States.
That extreme construction was held
to be justifiable under the circum-
stances existing in the past, but we
are now under changed conditions"
We thing the right thing has been
done in the restoration which has
taken place, and we hope the work
will be made complete, so that good
feeling may continue to prevail, and
the appearance of injustice and of the
of the state in ecclesiasti-
cal matters may be entirely swept
away. While the church must not
invade the domain of the state, it is
DESTROYS that the state may
not entrench on the rights. of any
church which is not engaged in any
thing contrary to existing law.
The action by the territorial House
Of Representatives in memoralizing
Congress to return the real estate was a
proper thing to do. It should quickly
pass the Council and with the guber-
national signature be sent without
delay to the seat of gov
eminent Make the work of restora-
ion full and complete.

The St Louis Globe-Democrat says:
The fact that the Republicans have
just carried Salt Lake City by LOG
majority, is the strongest argument
that has yet been presented in favor
of the admission of Utah as a state
Yes. That is the staple Republican
argument and reason for admitting
rev states. The sole qualification.
from the Republican standpoint, is
that they will be Republican. And
don't forget that while other things
have been the alleged reason for Re
publican hostility to Utah, the real
objection was its Democratic procli-
vities- Now, everything looks lovely

If our neighbor thinks the eulo-
gums oD the grand old Democrat
General Jackson delivered on Monday
night were "a little cold" it is because
of only seeing them in cold print.
They were warm enough in fervid
oratory. But the attempt to add to
them made by our neighbor does not
appear very hot, except in its veering
off from tame squirt of praise of the
man TO snarl and sheer on his
followers. Usually our neighbor is

ticularIy and partisanly small.

In reference to petitions to stop tar

the biggest petition ever presented by
the American people was at the cleo

kind. The third time of asking ought
to count and the voice of the masses
must be heard above the wall of the
classes. McKinleyism will go.

life of quiet contentment, far away from these petty annoyances, of which you were to be the guiding angel" He laughed short, hard laugh. "I really did indulge in some foolish ideas of waking from my. lethargy, of doing something fine, and you were to help me-" He laughed again with mirth- less self contempt. II am awake now, Imogene, fully awake. And yet" he spoke in a musing tone, leaning his head against the window pane and looking out into the garden, it is strange, but don't think any man will ever love you as we'll as do.'
 "Ralph!'
 He turned around suddenly, as if her voice had startled him. Yes" he said, taking up his hat to go, II did not know it when 1 came here today. But I do now.
 He fixed his eyes upon her moment with wistful expression, as if he hoped she would speak. but the words would not come to her lips. In an unsteady voice he hade her goodby and left her.
 AS the door closed upon him she took step forward as if to recall him; then she checked herself. and sitting down by the window rested her head upon her hand and fell into deep thought.

cheeks now as she spoke, and the beautiful face turned toward him was full of angelic pity and sorrow that moved the mans soul as it had never before been moved in his whole life.
 Are you speaking from hearsay?" he asked in a low voice. Do you know these things to be true:
 II have gone into their poor homes, she replied, and l have seen sights to make the heart bleed. You were not ignorant that great wrong was being done, Ralph. 1 told you myself, but you would not heed me. The subject bored you, and you waved it aside with jest. But you could not put aside your responsibility. For every child cry ing for bread in wonder village, for ev- cry broken hearted woman's S tears, for every act of madness and despair which those men may do, yours is the blame, Ralph, yours alone"
 He opened his lips as if to speak, but his head dropped upon his chest again. and he remained silent.
 When those patient creatures could bear no more and declared a strike against you, " she went on, though with 6NlueulIS luCIedS1uS SllOlls TUT HIS dtl1- tude of complete nonresistance discom- fted her, you manifested the most perfect indifference. You took no in- terest i~ the struggle, either on your own behalf, as owner of the mines, or as a redresser of crying injustice wrought by your hirehng, Joyce. But and 1 am ashamed to say it, Ralph one day. when your own proper person seemed to be threatened, you suddenly awoke, not to a sense of neglected duty, but to the possibility of physical in- jury. Then your resolution was prompt ly taken-not to fulfill long neglected duty, but to slip away and so evade both danger and responsibility. You have become accustomed to my society" "a red spot came into her cheek, and she raised her head haughtily-" you offer me the bribe of your name and fortune to accompany you in your flight. You have no love to offer, and you cannot respect me, or you would never have proposed such a marriage to me.
 She stopped, and with her hands clasped before her gazed earnestly at the bowed figure of the man. For many minutes he neither moved nor spoke, appearing to be buried in profound and gloomy revery.

 The men glanced at each other with startled looks. North laughed again, and now for the first time Monckton showed signs of irritation.
 Instead of which, he said, II have decided to offer you the opportunity of returning to your work that you may support your wives and children. Do not fiatter yourself, he turned sharply upon North, "that l feel anS thing but contempt for towards who fight their battles with clumsy, anonymous threats, arson and murder.

CHAPTER XI.
A SHOT FROM AMBUSH.

Ralph Monckton rode homeward at a slow space, his mind in strange con- fusion. He was aware that a great change had taken place in himself dur ing the past hour He was not the man who had lounged into the presence of Imogene Duke, resolved to ask her to be his wife, and yet not certain that he cared greatly what her answ might be; not the man without aims, without beliefs, almost without feelings of any sort. He had undergone tremendous shock, and, as he had said, he was now fully awake, though still bewildered. Was it resentment, repentance or regret that was stirring his heart so profound ly? He could not have said at that moment. One thlng he was sure of that he loved Imogene and that he had lost her. He bitterly cursed his folly in offering himself to her with a super cilious indifference which would have stung the pride of far less spirited girl than she was Even if she had felt any inclination for him he had done his best to destroy it. He smote his thigh with his clinched fist as he pie tured himself as he must have seemed to her, with his acquired air of foppish nonchalance. Oh, ass. triple ass! that he was not to have known that this pure, fresh, clean souled, earnest Amer ican girl must deSpise such an affected, dwarted triher as he had become.
 He was in state Of moral transition, upon the point of balance from which a man either goes straight down to the devil or mounts upward on the wings of good resolution. And he was near making up his mind to drop everything, return to Paris and drown his newly awakened conscience and his hopeless love ill the widest dissipation to be bought for money in that world mart of artistic wickedness. It was a strange thing that turned his thoughts the oth- CT way.
 He was passing through piece of woods where the road was hardly more than bridle path, bordered on either side by dense undergrowtn, when the report of a rife and keen, stinging pain in his right temple rudely aroused him from his meditation. He put his hand to the spot and withdrew it GOV cred with blood. The bullet had grazed his head within the fraction of an inch of his brain. A puff of pale blue smoke was floating upward from the bushes beside the road.
 He spurred his horse close up to the spot and called out:
 Show yourself, you cowardly scoun- drel!'
 The only reply to his challenge was the framn of swiftly retreatinr foot steps and the crashing of a heavy body through the underwood.
 Monckton waited until the sounds died away; then, giving no heed to the blood which flowed freely from the

CHAPTER XII,
A HEATED CONFERENCE.

A dEAl ED (cNt NtERENCE.
 As North entered the apartment with his companions his gaze met that of Monckton, and for a moment the two men regarded each other intently, North flushing and paling, with all evil sheer upon his lip. Monckton with that unmoved countenance and perfect self poise which the miner envied and yet hated ill him.
 Hitherto, began the proprietor, addressing the men collectively, II have taken no share in the management of the mines, partly. at least for the reason that l knew myself to be wholly ignorant of their workings. Certain circumstances. which 1 need not enter into, have led me to take another view of my duty and responsibility as owner, and from today on I shall assume active control, making myself thoroughly ac- quainted both with the interests of my property and the wants of my en- ployees.
 There was murmur of approval among the men. North, however, re- mained mute and frowning.
 First of all, continued Monckton, "you have cause of complaint against me and have organized strike. Here tofore I have given the matter no per sonal attention. but it has been brought to my knowledge that many of your families are in great destitution, and my chief object in asking you to meet me is to see if We cannot come to some settlement.
 The men glanced at Matthew North, as at their recognized leader, and 1t was North who replied. He spoke in a harsh, peremptory tone, without pretense of deference or conciliation. In com mon with his companions, he believed that the mine owner was simply treat ing for surrender on the best terms possible for himself, and his heart was swollen with bitter triumph. He saw his enemy beaten and humiliated. and he. Matthew North, had accomplished it.
 We have already made our condi- tions, he said. You know what they are. Take them or leave them, as you choose.
 That is hardly the tone l should have expected you to adopt, replied Monckton calmly, considering the state of affairs in the village.
 "No," retorted North contemptu- ously; you expected us to cringe and crawl like beaten CUTS. You see, mates," he added, addressing his com- panions, i've ought to have presented our petition kneeling. The proprietor may refuse us because we came like men who know our rights and hold the whip hand too
 II do not understand you," said Monckton coldly.
 You do,' returned North roughly. We have the best of the fight, and you have got to give in.'
 "If you mean that 1 have called you here today" said the mine owner steadily. "because feared you or for any other reason than my own sense of right, you are mistaken
 North's only answer was disdainful laugh.
 "So that I act in accordance with what seems to be my duty in this mat ter," continued Monckton. with the same admirably maintained composure, ''it can make little difference what

''Shor yourself, you colrdrdly Scoundrclr' gash in his temple, staining his collar and shirt front, he rode on at gallop, with pale face and sternly compressed lips.
 Arriving at his dwelling, he threw himself from the saddle and rapidly made his way to the overseer's office, where he found that individual in the act of completing letter of portentous dimensions. He arose hastily as his em- ployer entered and gazed at him with an expression of mortified amazement.
 What is the matter, sir?" he gasped. You are hurt. There is blood on your face."
 Never mind that" interrupted Monckton curtly. What have you there?"
 "A letter to the governor, respond ed Joyce, "asking for military protec- tion."
 "Give it here." The young proprie- tor glanced through the document, then, to Joyce's unutterable dismay, deliber- ately tore it in two and threw the frag- ments into the wastebasket beneath the desk
 II will have no outside assistance in this matter, said his employer coldly. We will settle the trouble ourselves. Summon the committee-North." His pale face grew trifie darker as he spoke the name. That man Matthew North was their spokesman. Let him be sent for
 Joyce stared at the young man aghast. But he is the worst of the lot sir," he began, with an incredulous stare, "a regular demagogue and the head of the whole trouble"
 ''So much the better" responded his employer. He is the man wish to see."
 Joyce expostulated. He was badly frightened himself, but with a company of militia at his back he foresaw the pleasure of overawing the malcontents and repaying them for the threats to his august person in a double measure of humiliation. He therefore contest ed the sudden and unaccountable ex- hibition of will on the part of MT. Monckton with considerable acerbity.
 He was silenced, however, when the young man turned upon him, drowning, and said:
 am the owner of these mines, MT. Joyce. If I have forgotten the fact too long, do not remind me of it today. If you are prepared to obey my orders, shall be glad to retain your services; |; otherwise'~
