A BIBLoMANIAc's GARDEN.

My garden aboundeth in pleasant hooks
Ard fragrance is over it all.
For sweet is the smell of my old, old
In their places against the wall.
Here is a folio that's grim with age
And yellow and green with mold;
There's the breath of the sea on every
And TN the hint of stanch ships hold.
And here a treasure from France Ia belle
Exhaleth a faint perfume
Of welded lily and asphodel
in a garden of song abloon1.
And this wee little book of Puritan mien
And rude, conspicuous print
Hath the Yankee favor of wintergreen,
Or, maybe. of peppermint.
In Walton the brooks a-babbling tell
Where the cherry daisy grows.
And where in meadow or woodland dwell
The buttercup and the rose.
But best beloved of books. ween.
Are those which one perceives
Are hallowed by ashes dropped between
The yellow, wen-thumbed leaves.
For it's here laugh and it's there a
Till the treasured book is read;
And the ashes betwixt the pages here
Tell us of one long dead.
But the gracious presence reappears
AS we read the book again.
And the fragrance of precious, distant
years
Filieth the hearts Of men.
Come pluck with me in my garden
hooks
The posies that bloom for all;
Oh, sweet is the smell of old, old books
In their places against the WALL

THE Asr1-LYNcH1NG PROTEST.


The appeal of the anti-lynchers Of
Boston for the suppression of lawless
vengeance upon negroes in the south
ern and other states has much in it to
anouse public sentiment and to demand
the cessation OF lynch law in this coun-
1 try.
/ 1t is a disgrace to the United States
that the horrifying scenes attending
mob violence in retaliation for negro
crimes are permitted to occur. They
argue very poorly for the progress Of
civilization in this country. Added to
their lawlessness are the shocking afro
cities which have recently been perpe-
trated, when colored persons accused
of infamous offences. have been taken
from the officers of the law and tor
tured, mutiiated and slain, sometimes
being roasted to death.
The anti-lynchers, in protesting
against these outrages have a good
case, and their voices ought to be heard
in every part of the land. A determined
effort should be made in every state to
put down and punish the brutalities
complained Of But there is another
side to this very serious question, and
it is well for people to look at both
sides of every matter that calls for
public action.
What is it that provokes the popu-
lace SO greatly, and drives them into the
frenzy that impels them to such deeds
as startle the world? It is the diaboli-
cal conduct of negroes towards white
women, forced by violence to minister
to their brutal lusts. We do not say
that this justifies the violations of law
and of decency that have stirred up the
Bostonians to action. But there is
something so inexpressibly revolving
and unbearable in the criminal as
saults by black scoundrels upon white
ladies. that almost any punishment APP
pears too small to meet their offence
The laws delay and its many loop
holes for the escape of accused per-
sons, aid in tanning the fame of re-
sentiment felt by everybody in the
neighborhood of those beastly occur
rences. When the people of the east
boil with Indignation over the lynch
ings and torturings of black f1ends,
they should also take into account and
reserve portion of their resentment
for the horror of the frequent criminal
assaults which work the friends of the
female victims into a fury,
We offer no justification for lynch
law We have no sympathy with the
atrocities committed by enraged mobs,
sometimes no doubt upon accused yet
innocent unfortunates. We endorse the
efforts to abolish lynching. But we
think, too, that the rapist is worthy of
death, and that the penalties in most
places are too light and the punishment
is too tardy, to meet the demands of
justice and the feelings of an outraged
people.
Let the sentiment against mob vio-
lence increase, and let the punishment
of criminals be enforced by law and the
officers of the law. At the same time
let the laws and their execution be
made so sure and severe that culprits
may know they cannot escape when
captured, and that the public may have
the full assurance that justice will be
complete and swift.

Mormon government, dictated by the
Mormon church.

the Mormon hierarchy, and a heavy
price price was paid for the party victory.
me republicans of Utah elected Nor

important offices on the state ticket

constantly and are more worthy of be-

who control them have attracted to

hostility to statehood until there
appeared to be a prospect
Of Republican success. Then its
conversion to the church became so
sudden and AFFECT as to be ludicrous
and disgusting. We have used the ugly
little word lie in reference to that sheet
advisedly. No other word fits the case.
Every paper is liable to make mistakes
and due allowances should be made for
that But there was no mistake about
the falsehoods told by the Tribune for
party ends and its wilful and contemp-
tible mendacity should receive suitable
exposition.

ALWAYS INCONSISTENT.

Our neighbor down the street con-
tinues to shut its eyes to the proofs
Of prosperity in trade and industry
which are perceived by nearly every
other paper in the United States, and
to close it's ears against the sounds
of industrial music which reverberate
across the continent and stir the
marts of business from sea to sea-
The evidences given of this profitable
animation it either ignores of turns to
ridicule.
The Herald has published some data
the general improvement and employ
ing thousands more men now than
even before the panic of 1893. Added
to them we gave reports from finan-
ctal authorities, showing that the
money affairs of the whole country
ment for the better.
To the latter our contemporary
makes no reply; to the former it res
ponds with a far-fetched and watery
tale intended for joke. That is The
sort of journalist and statesman our
contemporary has shown itself to be;
jester and a cynic without appre-
citation of the force of an argument
or readiness to recognize the logic of
indisputable facts.
But just wait a little while and it
will be found on entirely opposite
ground, exaggerating the prosperity of
the times and attributing them to the
success of the Republican party at the
polls. The list of inconsistent and
unprincipled papers in the United
States has at it's head in conspicuous
capitals, the Salt Lake Tribune.

THE MORMON REPUBLICANS.


To the Editor of the New York Times:
nave been familiar with the politics
and religion of Utah for the past twenty
years, having made my summer home in
IN Its territory and in that of Idaho and
am not at all surprised at the result of
the election there. 1t is a great mistake
10 suppose that it was brought about bv
church influence. The president of the
church himself is a Democrat and l know
from his own lips that while he would
have been pleased to have every member
of the organizati ton vote with him, he
! studiously refrained from giving any ad-
vice publicly or privately in the matter
! The leading apostles were about equally
divided in politics, each urging the claims
of his party with his best ability, and all
| conforming with the instructions of their
venerable leader in keeping politics and
religion asunder. 1t is true that the Dem
ocrats counted largely on the fact that the
so-called prosecutions of the people
have emanated from a generally Re2ub-
lican Congress. but all that seems to
have been forgotten. The fact is that the
Republican victory dates away back to
the days of Brigham Young, whose policy
was absolute protection not only against
foreign nations, but against the whole
United States outside of Utah He al

one of luxury, that could not be produced

crease the bounty on sugar and would
restore the duty on WOOL and the Salt

specious arguments that gave Republi-
cans the victory, and l am only astonished
that it was not more overwhelming.

A MOUNTAIN TRAIL BY MOONLIGHT.

The moon-food in the solitude
Streamed through the timber gray and
cold,
And soft the night winds interlude
Came past the brook, which sinuous
rolled
Down the old mountain like snake,
And all night long, with steadfast glow,
The stars in heaven lay awake
To watch the listless earth below.
And stealthily mid slumbrous air,
Ger sharp pine needles streWn with
cones,
The dusk went tip-toe, here and there,
And whispered in mysterious tones,
While sweeping through the vistas
round
a soft-voiced zephyr seemed to bring
Fine cords of crisp, uncanny sound
That almost made the silence sing.
Each tree was tranced in perfect calm.
Dumb worahippers at Druid shrines
While natures censor scattered balm,
Fresh incense from the living pines:
Each peak a statue stood, at rest,
Transfgured by the ghostly moon,
The wild bird lay within his nest
And all the world was in a swoon.
Above a mass of Jagged rock.
That stamped a shadow on the sky,
a hemlock, smote by lightning stock,
Dead, blanched and grim, rose far on
And suddenly across the spell
Where midnight in this vastness
dreamed,
Like some dread echo out of hell
Deep in the woods a panther screamed.
