BOOMER VERSUS KICKER.

On the question OF State pride the
people of Colorado can give us pointers
every day in the year. 1t is charac-
teriSric of the Kansas TO kick and IL
the kick is directed howard home or
state interests it is administered with
no less vigor than if the adversary
was outside of the state limits. Though
no state of the union is without its
drawbacks. the crOaker and the kicker
of Kansas rarely fails TO enlarge upon
the mundane imperfections Of his local
surroundings. Though il is taking
bread from ais own mouth he talks
of the winds. The droIths, the hot and
rhe cold As though every foot of space

inhabit every state is not surprising.

ARE LAWYERS THE FIrTEsTp

The editors Of this country do the
talking and the lawyers fill the poaftical
positions; the editors the thinking, the
lawyers rake in the political perqui-
sites. While the editors solve the
knouty problems of state the lawyers
utilize the pointers thus given them
and proceed to officially pose and enun-
ciate. The editorial profession is the
most progressive, that of the lawyer the
least.
An analysis of the occupations of
members of the new congress shows
that more than one-haif of the sena-
tors and representatives are lawyers.
This does not vary materially from
the usual proportion. A great pre-
p0nderance of lawyers is also the rule
in the state legislatures, except in the
purely agricultural commonwealths.
In other words, our legislation is large
ly. as it always has been, in the hands
of lawyers. The character of the legal
profession is therefore a matter of vi
tai importance as regards the charac-
ter of our law-making bodies. This
being true the progress and character
Of that profession becomes of import
ance. Is the personnel of the profession
greater than formerly or less Signifi-
can't and pronounced? 1t would be
presumption in an editor to pass upon
so important question. But one of
these our fraternity has Chief JUS
tice Field of the Massachusetts SUI
preme court. in a late address said that
as he looked over the audience came
the reflection that in the representa-
tiveS of the generation on the arts and
sciences he found marked progress
everywhere except in the legal profess
sion. There is he thought TOO little
advance in the science of civil govern
ment and the failure must remain at
the doors of the legal profession. He
said h edoubted if the men in public
life today are wiser than our fathers,
or even our gr-andfatheTS.
When the inbred repugnance Of every
lawyer to criticize his brethren is Ia
ken into consideration, the words of
Chief Justice Field are significant
The question is, or the trouble seems 10
be with the profession too much poll
tics and too little the science of law.

this man who was never known to
sccre5e his napkin, or hide his light un-

Washington congregation and an APP

1t is TO be hoped that this extravagan-
"a of the pulpit will be set down on,
hard. He is rather a breeder of tur-
MOL than a leader of men, a precep-
tor Of love, or a teacher of truth.
Presu1nptiotIS and conceited, for years
he has browbea'ten and cajoled his con-
gregations by turns. While unques-
tionably, he charms certain impress
ionables into exotic conditions by his
frenzieS, he is as unfit as possible to
preach the solid creed of the uncom-
promising and immortal Calvin, and it
is to be hoped that he has at last ran
up against a body of men reSOlute
enough to make him understand that
he and his worShipperS combined are
not greater than or equal to the Pres
byterian church.

UTAH AND THE MoRMoNs.

The admission of Utah into the
Union of states win test the good faith
of the Mormon church in renouncing
polygamy 1t will determine whether
this was simply a flank movement on
the part of the church TO forward the
long cherished desire to get into the
Union, or whether the church has
grown I'D TO the standard of discard
ing polygamuus marriages as a relic
Of a barbarouS age, and inherently
wrong. will soon be made manifest in
the drift of legislation. In Salt Lake
City there is a safe majority in the
Gentle" vote, but the capital city
will not make the laws. The county
in which that city is located is but one
of the many which will frame the
statutes. and the new state of Utah
is overwhelmingly Mormon. Laws
regulating marriage will be enacted
by MormOns, and the penalties pro-
vided for violation, if any, will be en-
forced by Mormon courts and Mormon
police officers. Under such conditions
1t is clear that it is simply matter
of choice, or church policy to re-eStab-
lish this custom, or adhere to its re-
nunciation as proclaimed under terri
toriaI rule. 1t is to be hoped thar the
latter version will be adopted in good
faith Utah is rich in the elements
which will bring her rapidly forward
as one OF the leading TransmissisSippi
states. Her mines are of incalculable
richness. Her valleys are fertile as
could be desired, and the soil and eli
mate are adapted to a great variety
of crops in fruits and cereals. There
is abundant water for irrigation, which
practically insures a crop every year,
and the less favored states surround
ing her furnish a market for all her
samples
1t is to the material interest of Utah
that the Mormon church has renowned
pOlygamy once and forever. 1t will be
alike TO her credit, and that of the ma
ton, that this blot upon our ciyiliza-
ton is wiped out, but with the pre-
negatives, and the lawmaking power
of statehood it is all in her own hands.

was admitted into the siSterhood of
