wark against oppression. He would
give justice to all men by holding out
TO them the right to demand a jury OF
twelve men, drawn from their own
kind, who would be able to judge bet
ter on the merits of the case. He
would not have the number of the
panel reduced In civil cases he was
willing that nine jurors should decide
as they would have the counsel of the
others if they were not able to agree
About the criminal he would throw
every safeguard. The best guarantee
of justice was the trial by jury.
And Still Another.
Goodwin, of Salt Lake. presented a
substitute as follows:
'~The right of trial by jury shall re-
main inviolate; but the legislature may
provide in all civil cases for juries OF
nine or less, two-thirdS of whom may
find a verdict"
Goodwin said he was in thorough &C
cord with Evans on the proposition LOT
economy. He did not have the same
veneration for the old system as did
Varian. He thought it was entitled to
as much respect as wall covered
with ivy. He would be contented to
be tried by jury of his peers consist
ing of less than twelve men, AS to
civil cases he did not believe it was
right to make the plaintiff or defend
ant buy up more than nine men.
Gaughter).
Richards suggested that the matter
go over until today.
Greer was in favor of economy and
believed all principles of justice could
be considered under the proposition
made by Evans.
Squires Still Uppish.
After some more scattering discus
sion Varian moved to rise. Evans, OF
Utah, arose to a point of order, but
Souires, who was running things &C
cording to his own rules, refused to
recognize him. The convention there
fore arose at 4:55, leaving the tenth
article unsettled.
The meaning of the deep consulta-
ton between Smith and Varian early
in the afternoon became apparent,
when the latter was called upon by
Squires to preside.
Varian, for about five minutes
showed what an ideal chairman could
do with business. He was quick and
decisive and despatched business with
CELEBRITY that was a perfect reveal
ton to those who had grown familiar
with President Smiths hating style.
Thurman offered a resolution that
the convention shall hereafter meet at
10 a. m. Referred to committee on
rules.
Kicks moved to adjourn until 1880 in
the evening. Voted down.
The convention then adjourned until
2 p. m. today.

Others.
Yesterday in the chair he OVERRIDE
all the rules that had been adopted.
He had not the grace to make believe
ne Thought he was paying attention to
thzyn; but, when called for an explain
alton of his ruling, confessed. with
the most charming naivette, that he
had not paid 2ny attention to the
rules, but had ecided as he thought
best to facilitate business. The re-
markabIe GOODNESS Of this deserves last
Ing remembrance. This wonderful Re-
publican convention is designed to
make &, record for itself. 1t has done
many things which will furnish
laughter and wonder for unborn gen.
erations- But it has conferred a last
Ing benefit; it has brought to light
great parliamentarian. Had it not
been in session the waiting, listening
world might never have known of this
great man. who is wise enough to be
trammeled by no rules which have
been justified by the spirit of ages.

There was an unfortunate parlia-
Inentdry tangle yesterday, in which
SQuireS had a chance to show his alb
solpte unfairness and also his supreme
EN6nS raised a very
reh ant point of order but through
tn efforts of Varian and Squires he
was unable TO make full statement
OF his position until great deal of
valuable time had been unnecessarily
wasted through Squires' dictatorial at
titude. When he did finally get his
chance, after much persistence, Varian
quickly apologized for the part he had
taken in the wrong; but Squires per-
sisted in his error, and as a conse-
quence he was severely sat down upon
by the convention, which overruled
him by an Overwhelming vote.

| If the city council adopts the report
of it's committee on police and munich
pal laws. the salaries of the police and
fire departments will remain as they
are.
At meeting of the two committees
last night Mr. Clawson made a vigor-
Gus and able defense of his measure,
but it didn't go. O'Meara. Mcmillan,
Mason, Morris, Newell and Cohn voting
against it.
Mr.. Clawson was frank in his state
ments, very frank. After repeating
what he has said in council for months,
that this city is bankrupting itself;
that 1t is expanding more than it's in
come; that the gravity sewer must be
paid for, ETC., ETC., he declared that the
salaries paid were too high, particu-
larry in the case of the chiefs of the
police and fire departments, the cleo
trician and the captain of police.
Chief Pratt, he says, has a perquisite
in the shape of from $40 to $50
per month from feeding prisoners;
Chlef Devine has perquisite
in this that he has free quarters in the
old city hall. The electricians salary
of $12O per month is too large, and the
captain of police useless ornament.
Mr.. Clawson went so far as to de-
clare that inasmuch as the chief of
the fire department lived handy to the
engine house. that the assistant chief
was not necessary.
The balance of the committee didn't
take kindly to Mr.. Clawsons argu-
ment. The police and fire departments
had already suffered one reduction. Mr..
Cohn contended that the men had
to buy their own uniforms and present
a respectable appearance, and all this
helped eat up what they received.
Both avocations were dangerous, and
a man following either. was always
liable to injury or death.
Mcmillan argued that cutting salaries
would lead to corruption.
Even Morris spoke against reducing
salaries. While he favored cutting
down the numbers, he was opposed to
cheapening services.
The committees will report adversely
on the ordinance, which will in all
probability defeat it.
Sewer Inspectors.
The committee on sewers wrestled
with the problem as to whether the in
spectors who worked on the gravity
sewer last fall are entitled to $25 per
month more than they received. City
Engineer Young and Chairman Dore-
mus participated in the debate. Moth
ing was done. the subject going over
until future meeting.

CONVENTION CHAT.

A nOtdOl6 group III Tic COhN
occupies the angle formed by the
tables at the right of the presidents
desk. In their order come Karl e.
Maeser. A. w. WINS, S. r. Thurman,
B. H. Roberts, David Evans, Bishop
O. F. Whitney and Bishop w. B. Pres
ton. Each one of them has made his
mark in his chosen field. All are what
might be called heavy-weights in the
body They consult freely with one
another and from this little body or
men come many of the most important
moves that are made on the moor OF
the convention. 1t was certainly a
happy chance which allowed them to
choose seats together.
During some of the long Sessions
some of the elder men seize the opopr-
tunity for a nap and they quietly
slumber while the most fervid oratory
is going on.
Kicks is rapidly coming to the front
as an influential member from the
country.
Varian demonstrated in five minutes
yesterday afternoon the difference be-
tween a presiding officer who under
stands his business and one who does
not He rushed more business through
in that brief time than John Henry
can possibly handle in half an hour.
Maloney, of Weber. made an able ar
gument yesterday in defense of the
people regarding the writ of habeas
corpus.
Varian is the natural leader Of the
majority; but he got himself into dis
repute with his party for trying to
avert the calamity which has over
taken the convention in the person. of
the present presiding officer. Squires
seems to be in the saddle now. Even
he is an improvement to the president,
though he misses being an ideal by
several hundred miles.
Hon. P. Buncombe Coray, of Chicken
Creek, was right in saying that the
withdrawal of his remarks was not a
proper thing to be in the record. The
original sin should never have been
committed.
Judge Goodwin has made a speech
without telling a story. What are we
coming to?
Four days gone by without a row
over the minutes. Something must be
wrong somewhere.
This afternoon a serious conflict will
confront the convention. The educa-
tional article has been made the spec
ial order for 8 o'clock, while the bill of
rights, which it was believed would
be finished yesterday, is only just COM
ing to the front. There will be some
thing of a contest for precedence with
the chances in favor of the bill of
rights.
Ladies are taking advantage quite
freely of the privilege of the floor No
less than a bakers dozen listened to
the proceedings yesterday.
AS no occasion was given for a par
liamentary tangle, President Smith did
not miss Assistant President McGur-
rim as much as he would otherwise.
A. c. Hatch. who was known dur
ing the last legislature as the dreamy
statesman from Wasatch, was visi-
tor yesterday.

TWO SAD CASES.
Instances Where Prompt Action May
Save Life.


Cases requiring aid are numerous in
this city, and unless active measures are
taken by some one much suffering is
bound to result. The county being out of
funds. not much relief can be expected
in that direction.
Two extremely sad cases presented
themselves yesterday, one of them being
that of a poor woman, widow, who
wanted help for her little son, who is
bleeding at the lungs so IDLY that death
at any time may ensue. After being sent
to the mayors Office and back again, the
county physician was ordered to visit the
poor little chap and give him relief.
A young man and his wife called for
aid yesterday to assist them in caring for
an aged relative, who has a diseased
limb. 1t is in such condition of decay
that the stencil is unbearable. The young
man is out of work and can do nothing
in this case.
1t has been suggested by the selectmen
that he be sent TO the infirmary, but sur
gical aid is needed ere this step is taken.
The Herald does not feel justified in
publishing the names of these parties,

Referring to the much commented upon
letters which Wilde wrote to Lord Alfred
Douglas, counsel said that the jury had
been told they were too low to appreciate
such poetry and he, Sir Frank Lockwood,
thanked God it was so, as 1t showed that
they were above the level of beasts
. Sir Edward Clarke, leading counsel for
Wilde, here interposed objections to such
appeals as the one just made by Sir Frank
Lockwood, which, counsel claimed, should
not be allowed
When Sir Frank Lockwood continued
his speech he warned the jury to render a
verdict which would prevent "such a de
tcstahle and abominable vice to rear its
head unblushingly in this country"
Justice Wills began summing up at
1880 p. m. The general tenor of his adj
dress to the jury was favorable to Wilde.
The jury retired at $3.50 p. IN.
During the address of Justice Willis to
the jury the foreman of the jury asked
whether, in view of the intimacy between
Lord Alfred Douglas and Alfred Wood,
one Of the men whose name has been
brought prominently into the case, war
rant for Lord Alfrcd's arrest had ever been
issued. The judge replied that he thought
not. The foreman then asked if it had
ever been contemplated to issue a warrant
for the arrest of Lord Alfred Douglas. To
this the judge replied that he could not
say, and the court adjourned for lunch.
When the court reasscmbled for business
the judge said that the suspicion that Lord
Alfred Douglas would be spared, if guilty
simply because he was Lord Alfred Doug
las, was wild idea and matter which
they could not discuss. The present en-
quiry was as TO whether the man in the
dock was guilty of immoral practices with
certain persons.
The jury returned to court at $50 p. m,
after having been absent two hours and
returned verdict of guilty against the de-
fendant Wilde was sentenced to two
years imprisonment at hard labor.
Alfred Taylor Wilde's associate, was
also sentenced to two years imprison-
ment at hard labor.

THE POWER OF WOMEN
Discussed by the Women's Baptist Home Mis-.
sion Society. at Saratoga.

Saratoga, n. Y. May 26.-In her greet
ing to the several hundred persons present
at the opening meeting, this afternoon,
at the First Baptist church Of the 18th an
nual anniversary of the Womans Baptist
Home Mission Society, Mrs J. H. Crous
of Chicago, the president, referred to the
excellent work that has emanated from
the previous anniversaries held here, and
said they were the most profitable ones
ever held.
Mrs VIM. NJ Isancs of New York, spoke
at length on 1.-The Heather at Home, -
and urged greater work along that line.
She said that women, today, occupied a
position unparalleled in the history of
the world and were becoming more power
full every day. The immigration question
was considered and the landing In
America, during the past year, of 20, 5l3
persons who could neither read nor write,
was discussed.
The speaker referred to the introduc-
ton into the homes of the so-called
fashionable literature and its immoral
influences, and the Sunday secular news
paper, and declared that the publication
Of the latter should be abolished
Mrs. NJ. A. Eblers of Philadelphia, spoke
