rhe uta. senatorship.

1t ought TO follow as a natural
sequence of the republican victory in
U,ah that Judge c. c. Goodwin should
he Iecied as lone OF the senators from
that State From republican stand
point We cannot see how the senatorial
SITUATION can be otherwise viewed by
any republican member of the Utah
legislature when that body assemblies.
Jndg- GondNin has stood for the pro-
gress of Uiah and against the inslitu-
lions hich retarded that progress
" hen his position was opposed by the
,uing iIras of the Territory. He
fonght Mormonism as long as polygamy
WAS one of its trnpts, and as soon as
the church abolished poiygamy
he ace mel the protrststions of the
l-aders as made in good faith, as suhse-
enent events have proven them to have
heeu made. and at once recognized the
fact that the NJ ,rmon religion had as
good a right 10 exist as any other under
our constitution.
The doctrine OF protection OF nome
industries never had truer followers
than the Mormon church people and in
advocating this doctrine these people
have never had a truer friend than
Jud1e G ,od~in.
nlhr question of the free coinage of
silver, We are not willing TO concede
that even Senator Jones is abler or bet
Ter informed than Judge Goodwin.
Upon every question affecting Utah's
inter, sis and prosperity no better friend
than he can be found in the state.
Jndge Good&in. nnlike some other as
pirauts for the Utah senatorships, has
no money to buy his way to the position,
and shonld he not he elected, consider
ing the character of his claims to the
position, the legislature will lay itself
open to the suspicion that the want OF
il WIS the cansr of his defeat.
We brlieve that that state will honor
i;felf ny honoring Judge Goodwin with
the position.

China did some remarkable things, many
inexcusable things and a few sensible
things in Its warfare and diplomatic deal
ing with Japan. Having been thoroughly
thrashed and being in fear of invasion
that might perhaps take on permanency of
character, the most sensible thing China
did was to avail itself Of the services Of
John w. Foster. Of this city. as adviser
general. Versed in all diplomatic arts he
was precisely the man for the place and
the time; it Is not an ovef-assertion to
state that Japan had quite as much conf
dence in his common sense as China had
and this confidence had much to do with
the presumably satisfactory understanding
crystallized in the treaty of Shimonoseki.
Now that the negotiations have been
closed, some Of those who participated
therein feel at liberty to discuss matters
heretofore not talked Of in public, and
among these there is practical unanimity

The need of a change in the criminal
law of the District which will recognize
different degrees of murder with corre-
spondingly varying punishments Is en-
phasized by the popular movement for a
communication OF sentence in the Taylor
Gaze. In this case the neighbors of the
convicted man. who would be best ac-
quainted with any extenuating circum-
stances in the tragedy. contend most
earnestly that the killing Is not one which
deserves to be punished by the infiction of
the death penalty. and thousands Of sigma
lures have been attached to a petition that
the President in the exercise of the par
dcrirg power Go what the jury could not
do under the law. and reduce the penalty
until 1t is adequate 20 the offense. AS a
rule when the alternative is presented to
jury of convicting and hanging a man for
murder or acquitting him. the case not
being such as to admit Of verdict of
manslaughter. any doubt is solved in favor
Of the accused. and an acquittal possibly
injurious to the community follows. But
the doubt may be solved wrongfully
against the prisoner. and a man be hanged
who merits some punishment beyond that
for manslaughter. but does not deserve the
death penalty. EVIL results are threat
ened in either case and beyond all ques-
a nicer more accurate and more equitable
adjustment of the punishment to the Of
ferse than the existing law permits.

A few days ago an electrician employed
in the city OF Rochester received shock
of about 5000 volts of electricity, yet
survives to relate the Impressions attend
ant upon his extraordinary experience
Supposed TO be dead, he was nevertheless
subjected to resuscitative treatment for
about an houI and a quarter, the method
employed being that discovered by Dr.
d'Arsonval. which consists in the encour-
agenent of respiration by rhythmic move
mentS of the arms and pressure of the
chest Tn, same system was successfully
used in the restoration to lfe Of another
electrician who was apparently shocked to
death by 1000 volt current in Pittslield,
Mass, last November. Upon such cases as
these do the Observation-Disclosures build
their argument that electricity does not
really kill, but merely stupefies. The infer
ence is unfair. for In both the Rochester
and Pttsfield cases there Is evidence to
show that the men whom science revived
received anything like the full force of the
shock indicated by the voltage: the chances
are that they were electrified under condi-
tions which scattered the force of the
shock SO effectually as to prevent anything

Autopsies on the bodies of men legally ex-

difference between accidental contact with

rent and scientiflcally-plann connection
with current only one-third as strong.
The Rochester and Pittsffeld cases are,
however. extremely interesting. for they
indicate that accidental contact may not
always be fatal. and they show quite con-
cluslvely that If the vital organs of vic
Tins are uninjured 1t is possible, by the
application of sensible effort. to restore to

A Recollection.

When the hot sun scorches the asphalt
street,
When the treetops shrivel beneath the heat,
There comes q memory wondrous sweet,
Like distant soft refrain,
OF the time when over the snow we sped;
When the heart was highland lighter the
head
When 1, while the jeweled moments fed
Went sleighing with Mary Jane.
How thecrisp snow sang meath the rush
ing steel!
What fanciful forms did the drifts reveal!
How rippled her daughters merry peal,
AS We scurried along the lane!
Go en-, thermometer! Do your worst!
Send up the mercury till you burst!
That old impression is dearest, first,
That journey with Mary Jane.
