AN UNWRITTEN LAW.


A speech to repeal that part of the
present law which justifes homicide
where in a sudden heat of passion
caused by an attempt of some person
} to commit a rape upon his wife, daugh-
/ ter, sister, mother or other female rela-
ton or dependant, or to defile the same,
or when the defilement has actually
been committed-a speech, we say, to
repeal this provision Of the law may be
eloquent and even learned, as the
speech Of Mr.. Critchlow in the house
yesterday is said to have been; but
the fact still remains and will remain
that it is the unwritten law of this land,
that homicide under the circumstances
named is justiiable, and unwritten law
is none the less real because it may
lack a place upon the statute books.
The statute law may be swept away by
legislative amendment as proposed, but
the unwritten law Will remain the
same, and being planted in the heart Of
man by the nature of him, and as much
a part of him as the instinct of self
defense; and moreover, being most ac-
lively alive in the breasts of the most
honorable of men, it will assert itself
and maintain itself in spite of orations
and written laws.
We desire to say also that the fact
that death may be visited upon the vile
wretch who invades a mans home and
defiles his wife, either by force or Sc
ductive arts, by the injured husband
father or brother, is one of the greatest
restraints to this crime of defilement;
it is most salutary as a, protection to
the purity of the homes of our people,
and it ought not to be weakened. Why
punish men for protecting their homes
when the best instinct of the best peo-
pie justify a man in avenging the out
ragged honor Of himself and his family

A DEMOCRATIC DUTY.

The st. Louis Post-Dispatch, refer
ring to the recent convention Of gold
Democrats In Missouri, said:
When Democrats who oppose gold
monometallism and corporation credit
money based upon public debt are ac-
cused of deserving the party of Jeffer-
son. jackson and Benton, the charge
calls for laughter, not argument
We should think so; and the laughter
ought to drive the people making the
charge out of the arena. Es-
pecially when they class Benton
among the supporters Of a. single gold
standard. It makes one wonder If
those Missouri Democrats ever 50
much as heard of "OId Bullion" =
sobriquet Benton earned because of his
steadfast adherence to the doctrine
that the United States was intended
by its founders to be a hard money
country: that its money could only CON
sist of gold and silver. His remarks
on that subject in the senate in the
year 1884 on the occasion of a bin he
ing introduced for equalizing the value
Of gold and silver, and localizing the
tS4luS1 u lOlSiSu CO4n OF DOLn metals,
are very interesting; and as it is
claimed that they represent the posi-
ton of the Democratic party on the
question Of money at that time, we
quote a condensed statement of what
"Old Bullion" said:
TN the first place he was one of
those who believed that the govern
ment Of the United States was in
tended to be a hard money govern
ment; that it was the intention and
the declaration of the constitution of
the United States that the federal cur
rency should consist Of gold and silver:
and that there is no power in congress
to issue, or to authorize any company
of individuals to issue any species of
federal paper currency whatsoever.
Every clause ir the constitution which
The Salt Lake herald. [volume] (Salt Lake City [Utah]) 1870-1909, 1896-03-06

bears upon the subject of money
! every early statute Of congress which
interprets the meaning of these
clauses-and every historic reconec-
ton, which refers to them, go hand in
hand in giving to that instrument the
meaning which this proposition
ascribes to it. The power granted to
congress to coin money is an authority
to stamp metallic money and is not an
authority for emitting slips of paper
containing promises to pay money.
The authority granted to congress to
regulate the value of coin. is an au-
thority to regulate the value of the
metallic money, not of paper. The
prohibition upon the states against
making anything but gold and silver
a legal tender is a moral prohibition
founded in virtue and honesty, and is
just as binding upon the federal govern
ment as upon the state governments;
and that without written prohibitions
for the difference in the nature of the
two governments is such that the
states may do all things which they
are not forbidden to do; and the federal
government can do nothing which it
is not authorized by the constitution
to do. The trainers of the constitution
created a hard money government.
They intended the new government to
recognize nothing for money but gold
and silver; and every word admitted
into the constitution, upon the subject
of money, defines and establishes that
sacred intention
The spirit of Mr.. Benton's argument
carried to its legitimate conclusion
would be: Since the trainers of the
constitution created a hard money
government, and intended the new gov
eminent to recognize nothing for
money but gold and silver; and every
word admitted into the constitution,
upon the subject of money, defines and
establishes that sacred Intentionally,
it follows that gold and silver-not gold
or silver-is the money of the consti-
tuition, and congress never had, and
has not now, the constitutional power
to strike down one of these money
metals and change the money of the
United States from gold and silver to
gold alone. 1t was, therefore, uncon-
stitutional legislation in 1875 enacted
under a Republican administration,
that demonetized silver; and we believe
it to be the duty of the Democratic
party, as the party that has been the
guardian of the constitution, the party
of constitutional morahty-to undo
what the Republican party unconsti-
tutionally did-to right the wrong the
Republican party did in demonetizing
silver, by restoring constitutional
money to the people, by opening the
minis to the free and unlimited coin
age Of silver and gold at the present
legal ratio; and where the party ac-
that work, as ultimately
we believe it will accomplish it, it will
be accounted one of the glorious
of the party Of the con.
stitution.

HOW NOT TO DO TT.


To the citizens who pay the taxes it
looks as though our municipal affairs
were conducted somewhat on the plan
of the circumlocution office, and with
that efficiency that would be expected
in consequence. a week or SO ago the
city attorney took upon himself to play
the part of a policeman and assailed
a gambling den. breaking in the doors
in his frantic efforts in behalf of law
and order The result was he made
himself ridiculous and butt for jokers
for some days. Since then he has
not repeated the performance and is
not likely to- His mistake was in at
tempting to do that which his official
duties did not call upon him to do.
Now it would seem that the police
board is to look after the city attorney
and teach him the ways of wisdom in
the conduct of his Office. At its meet
ing Wednesday evening one of the
members stated that he had been re-
quested by the city council to call the
boards attention to the manner in
which the police courts records were
kept. How the police court records are
kept is none of the police commissions
official business, and it is very surpris-
ing that any member of that BODY
should have undertaken to make it the
boards business. even at the request
of the city council If that board will
give the city good police and fire pro-
lection and make its sole object the
welfare of the citizens it will have
enough to do and will earn and re-
ceive the public's thanks. The city's
affairs viii be very much better man
aged if each department will put all
its energies and best thought into
the doing Of the work that lies within
its proper sphere. There is too much
clique, too much politics, politics OF
the spoils kind. in our city government,
and the people are disguised with it
all 1t is about time something else
was thought of. If each department
will attend strictly to business things
will be much better. In other words,
if the minutes are carefully looked
after the hours will take care Of them
selves.

THE ITALIAN DEFEAT.

The extent of the disaster that has
overtaken the Italian troops at Adowa
is far greater than at first reported.
The government acknowledges that
$50 officers were killed but refuses to
admit that more than 5000 men were
killed. 1t is safe to say that these adj
missions are the minimum rather than
the maximum. 1t will be terrible
blow to Italian pride and cause loss
Of prestige. The defeat at Adowa has
caused the downfall of the Crispi
cabinet, Rudini again being called to
the head of the government. This
| change Of cabinet does not by any
means imply that Italy will have done
with Abyssinia. That she will under
take to retrieve her fortunes and re-
gain her lost prestige on the very
ground where she lost it, there is little
doubt. VIII she accomplish this? Con-
quest and colonization in Africa have
been an Italian dream for many years;
1t seems to have been inherited from
the days when Rome was the mistress
of the world. Up to the present time
the dream has not been realized and
now seems further off than ever.
What will be the effect of this re-
verse in Europe? Italy has been
potent in European politics since her
unif1cation through being a member of
the Triple alliance. She is still that
and VIII continue to be. If it be true
that the Italian troops behaved very
badly under fire while the native
auxiliaries conducted themselves much
better, then Italian military prestige
will have suffered a blow from which
it will be hard to recover In the
Triple alliance this fact will not have
so much weight as it might be ex-
pected to have, for there Italys chief
strength is considered ito be upon the
ocean.
Upon Italy and her people this re-
verse cannot but have very great
effect Abyssinia became an italian
protectorate by virtue of the treaty of
May 2, 1889, confirmed and extended in
October of the same year by a conven-
ton for mutual protection" between
Menelelz and Umberto 1, king of Italy.
This protectorate has necessitated the
keeping of a very respectable army in
Africa, which costs money 1t is a.
heavy drain on the resources of the
kingdom, whose revenues are far from
equaling the expenditures In 1S94-5.
the deficit was 1O4, 746, LOG lire Already
taxation in Italy is so heavy that the
people fairly groan under it and it is
almost impossible to increase taxes.
To continue this protectorate and to
recover from this great defeat, means
increased expenditures which call for
an increase Of taxes. The outlay in
mas been swallowed up in
an ignominious defeat.

SHORT AND SHARP.
Admiral BeIlznap's Idea of War
With Spain.

with spain.
1t is not at all likely that congress
would pass resolutions giving belligerent
rights TO the Cuban Insurgents without
just and sufficient cause. The congress
of the United States of course acts upon
more complete information than the aver
age citizen can have, and in such grave
matter OF public policy it would not act
atfirmatiVely without fully knowing the
ground it stood on. L do not think that
Spain, in view of her early recognition of
the southern confederacy, and the HOSTILE
W shown IN Cuban ports, especially Ha-
Vana, to the flag OF the United States
during the rebellion, would have any rea-
son to make a caSuS belh Of such action
on the part Of our government towards
the Cuban insurgents. l do not Know how
Tar the Spanish press influences the Span
ish government, but it is very natural for
the Spanish press to be excited over any
purpose to recognize the Cubans. How
far their expressions would affect the
government is prOblematiCal. Spain has
everything to lose and nothing to gain by
war With this government. Such a war
can have but one ending, and that would
be the planting of the American flag on
the island of Cuba. The defences Of Gu
ban ports are not formidable. The en-
trance TO the harbor of Havana is mar
row, and therefore furnishes an excellent
chance for defending it with torpedoes,
but Havana can be very readily shelled
from the sea.
AS for the relative strengths Of the ma
that ours is much superior. Whatever the
character of the ships and guns, there is
no comparison as to the personnel of the
two naval services 1t is brain and Drawn
in the handling of ship and gun that
tells, ana our personnel is far ahead of
the Spanish.
l do not think the coast of the United
States would be in any danger of attack.
In my judgment, Spain would need all
her available navy around Cuba, for if
she left the Cuban coast ungarded all our
gulf ports would swarm with vessels
loaded with men and munitions of war to
be landed in Cuba.
The seizure OF Cuba would practically
end the war. for Spain could make no at
tack upon us that we could not success
fully resist.
No great expansion of our navy would
be necessary. We should need all the
ships we have in commission. / would
not deem it wise to take too many ships
from the PaCIt1c, but we would have to

The house branch of the Utah Re
publican legislature is evidently a diff
cult body to please. Representative
Nebeker, Of Rich county, on Wednes-
day introduced a resolution fndorsine.
the course of Senator Frank Cannon
in voting for silver as against tariff
but Republicans refused to consider it.
Not to be discouraged by this unfeel-
ing act the member from Rich intro
duced another resolution commencing
Senator Brown for voting in favor
of tariff and against silver, this also
the Republicans refused to consider.
Still not to be discouraged Nebeker
proposed the following:
Whereas, The Republicans of Utah
consider the silver and tariff questions
Of equal Importance; and,
Whereas, Free coinage Of silver and
a high protective tariff are the twin
issues of the Republican party, be it
therefore
Resolved. By the. house of represen-
tatives, the senate concurring, that we
endorse Senator Cannon in voting for
silver and against protection, and that
we further endorse Senator Brown in
voting for protection and against sill
Yer.
This, too, the Republicans refused to
consider. The question now is what
will the Republicans in the house ap-
prove or condemn in their United
States senators; for it seems truly that
they will not indorse the course of
either the one or the other, nor even of
both of them!

WHERE JOHN BULL GOT HIS NAME.

John Bull" the NEUROLOGICAL parsonage
supposed to represent the English people,
and now figuring largely In our editorial
writing and in cartoons, was the inYen-
ton OF DR.. Arbuthnot in one of his satfri-
cal sketches ridiculing the great duke of
Marlborough. In the opinion of DR.. John
son, Arbuthnot was 1.-The first man among
the eminent writers in Queen Anne's
time" He drew John Bull as the typical
EngliShman-a stout, red-faced old farm
er, far too corpulent for comfort, choleric,
but withal an honest and well meaning
fellow. He clothed him in leather breech-
es and top boots, put stout oaken oudgel
in his hand and a bull dog at his heels
and set him up for all time to serve as
the representative Englishman. He may
have been not SO bad as a caricature in
the days of Queen Anne. But today GER
tainly there is much force in Leslie Ste
phen's remark that he completely hides
the Englishman of real life" The aver
age Englisman in 1896 is physically no
stouter. certainly than-probably not so
stout as-the average American, and the
stout cudgel and the bun dog are no
longer apt symbols of the modern Brit
isller's disposition. He has lost the ex-
cessive pugnacity of his forefathers, and,
as we have lately seen, is, above all,
anxious to keep the peace with his Uncle
Samuei.-Baltimore Sun.
