ELECTRIC LocoMoTIoN.

The problem of electric locomotion
without the wire and the trolley will
be sure to be solved before long.
When a motor can be had according to
the desired power and attached to any
kind of vehicle, there will be a great
revolution in the methods of travel.
The word impossible" has become al
most obsolete in these days OF inven-
ton and discovery, And anything,
however apparently impossible, is
within the bounds of possibility if not
inconsistent with known truths and
eternal principles.
A step in the direction of independent
electric motor power has been recently
made in London, where an electric par
GELS van has been. used with success.
1t is said Ito look like an ordinary two
horse van without shafts. 1t is worked
by accumulators which will drive it for
fifty miles without recharge, and it
can attain the speed of ten miles an
hour. The steering is easy, and the
cost is said to be half that of a horse
van of the same size and power If all
this is true, a vast diminution in the
number of horses in the streets of all
large cities may be expected before
very long.
The London Spectator is enthusiastic
at the prospect and says: Not only
will locomotion and transport be
cheaper, but the block in the streets
will be greatly decreased. The horses
take UP no less or even more room
than the vehicles they draw For a
driving-tour there will be nothing like
an electric trap, for it will never be
laid up by a bad stable. Lastly, if the
demand for horses is greatly reduced,
riding, the healthiest of all exercises,
will once more be possible for the
working gentlemen
1t is not to be expected that perfec-
ton will be attained at leap in this
more than any other Improvement.
But when it is demonstrated that
vehicles can be run by electricity and
kept in control without rails below OF
wires above, it will not be long before
such advancements will be made as
will cause the electric motor to become
the most popular means of common
conveyance

ROAD REFORM.

The suggestion made by The Herald
on Saturday last that the streets lead
ing to the depot be macadamized, and
that the chief road leading to and from
the city be placed in good travelling
condition, seems to meet with popular
favor. The unemployed workingmen
at their meeting on Tuesday adopted
IA resolution endorsing it, and other
papers besides The Herald are taking
it up approvingly.
If the two streets chiefly used for
traffic to and from the Union Pacific
and Rio Grande Western depots were
macadamized, that is South Temple
and First South streets, it would set
to work a number of men who are
restless and almost riotous from their
desperate condition. The work would
demonstrate the utility of the macad-
am process in this city. Properly done,
the streets fairly rounded up, the stone
being broken to the regular size, we
believe it will be shown that macad-
amizing is the right thing for those
streets which we cannot yet afford to
pave with asphaltum.
All our county roads need work to
put them into passable order. The
State road should, above all, be put
into good condition. We notice that
experiments are being tried with Stag
for road repairs. 1t is probable that it
can be utilized to good advantage
Something more than ordinarily grav-
cling is. necessity, for the result in
most instances has been, mud in wet
weather and dust in dry, because the
gravel gravitates from the surface and
the loose earth comes on top.
If anything in these directions is to
be done by the city or county or both,
now is the time to do it. The work
is needed as a public requirement and
as the 1aborers' necessity. Let there
be no delay. Give men employment
instead of soup, and chance to earn
what they need instead of lowering
their manhood by making them depen-
dent upon charity. Road reform is
wanted right now, and so is bread for
the unemployed.

AS TO ELOPERs.

A notice in an eastern paper of the
refusal to grant a license to a young
couple who had run away to get mar
ried, the girl being but II years of age,
brings to mind an event recently chron-
icled in a northern journal. A young
couple, this time the intended bride
groom being only II years Of age, hav-
ing failed to obtain a license in Utah,
went over the territorial line and in
Idaho managed to have The matrimon-
ial knot tied by an accommodating Of
fetal
These runaway matches scarcely ever
turn out happily. They commence in
that rashness and haste which come
from unbridled passion and are fostered
by a lawless spirit. Rebellion against
parental authority and defiance of the
wishes of those who have the best in
terests of young people at heart prompt
the violation of law which frequently
accompanies the other wrong.

with the believer in religion, there
must be no. innovation which would in
any way imply or countenance a 1elig-
ious test. Judge Clayton of the SUI
preme Court of Delaware, in delivering
the opinion of the court in The State
VS.. Chandler said:
IF in Delaware the people should
adopt the Jewish or Mahometan relig-
ion, as they have an UNREASONABLE
right to do, if they prefer it, this court
is bound to notice it as their religion
and to respect it accordingly. =
They may adopt any religious creed
they please; and so far from any court
having the power to punish them for
such an exercise of right, all their
Judges are bound to notice their free
choice and religious preference and to
protect them in the exercise of their
right"
The absolute divorce of The state
from the church is recognized through
out this country, and the same liberty
accorded to different religions IS ex-
tended to people of no religion, to the
worshipper of God or Dagon, to the
atheist and the agnostic. This is es-
sential not only to the perfect free
dom of faith or unfaith of every citi-.
zen, but it can be shown to be in the
interest of every sect and deonmina-
ton that may be established in the
United States.
De Tocqueville said the first thing
that struck him when he landed on
our shores was that in a country where
all religion was divorced from every
connection with the state, there was a
degree of religious earnestness and zeal
to be found among no other people.
DR.. Dollinger, in work defending the
temporal power of the papacy, is COM
PEELED to admit that nowhere else does
the religious spirit so pervade the peo-
pie as in the United States, where re-
ligion is free from the corrupting en-
braces of the secular power. He says:
"Al churches or religious commune
ties in the United States have, there
fore, complete equal rights Every
person can join any sect he pleases, or
! belong to none, or found a new sect
! for himself. AS in politics, in trade
and in all other occupations, so also in
| the domain of religion, the freest COM
petition prevails and produces ener-
getic action and elasticity of church
organism, combined, however, with an
! indecorous grasping at and hunting
after proselytes, which favorably con-
trasts with the passive tranquility and
stagnation of state church bodies"
The absolute secularization of the
government was intended by it's foun-
ders. They saw in that the best guar
anty for religious freedom, and the
suppression of that bigotry and intol-
erance that cursed the world when the
state was dominated by the church, or
the churches were regulated and con-
trolled or prosecuted by the state
Christian influences are not injured by
the absence of their recognition in the
Constitution, and the Supreme Being
is not affected one way or another by
any words that may be inserted OF
left out of an instrument designed tc
define the powers of a human govern
ment. The Constitution is all right as
it is, and the action taken in Congress
on the proposed amendment was the
proper thing to do.

GOD IN THE CONSTITUTION.

The news by telegraph that the
House committee on the judiciary have
decided against reporting the proposed
amendment to the Constitution, recog-
MIXING the authority and government
of Almighty God in the affairs of ma
tons. will be received with satisfac-
ton by the greater portion of the peo-
pie of this country Religious people,
above all, should be glad that the
Constitution is kept free from a pro-
vision that might be the first step
away from the safeguards now afford
ed by that instrument to religious
liberty.
OF course the proposition, frequently
offered, to incorporate something in
the Constitution to make this a dis
tinctively Christian nation, has eman-
ated from religious sources and has
been supposed to be for the promotion
of religious interests. But it has been
prompted by mistaken notions, and it
would be a misfortune to those inter
ests it was i,ltended to promote.
This is a secular government. It
was established, it is true, by people
who were Christian in their tenden-
cies and thoughts, and whose customs
and manners had been formed under
Christian regulations. But they had
the good sense to see that far greater
religious freedom could be main
tanned under such a government, than
under one which mingled IN any way
the divine with the human in laws
for the preservation of the rights of
man. The fathers came here to OBJ
tain religious liberty and they de-
sired to secure that boon to their chill
dren.
Start with the recognition of God in
the Constitution, and the next step
will be the recognition of Christianity
as the religion of the nation. 1t would
not be far then to the establishment
Of some particular form of Christian
ity as a genuine thing, and then fare.
