that the temptation to hold political
Office will never induce them to forego
what they consider their highest du-
ties toward their Cod
There are twelve states in this union
over so per cent of whose population
are Catholics. and yet, no Catholic
priest has uttered complaint because
an unwritten law precludes him from
holding public office. In one of these
states the percentage of Catholics is
greater than the percentage of Nor
mons in Utah. When a Catholic priest
accepts his ecclesiastical position he
chooses to forego political aspirations
for the performance of what he con-
siders a higher duty. A few Mormon
officials with whom have talked have
taken this same view of the matter
Would it not be better for all the peo-
pie of Utah if the unWTitten law
against Catholic priests were here ap-
piled as against the Mormon leading
officials?"
More than that, is it not a, religious
duty incumbent upon Mornons. to ac-
quiesce in this rule if they are in earn
est in believing the Doctrine and Cow
enants which say: 1--WE do not believe
if just to mingle religious influence with
civil government
By what other method can this pro-
vision of the Doctrine and Covenante
be made effective?

The divorce suit of Thomas F. Toll
urst against Elizabeth Jones Toll
| urst. which was partly heard before
Judge Young on April II, was resumed
yesterday before his honor, and ended
in a decree and alimony being award
ed to Mrs. Tolhurst on her cross-com-
plant
The allegations of the complaint
were that the marriage took place in
this city on October Is, 1894. and that
on November 10 of the same year Mrs.
Tolhurst deserted her husband. The
defendant filed an answer, denying the
assertion, and a cross-complaint, al
leging that her husband had treated
her with great cruelty, neglected her
when sick and refused her proper care,
and also failed to support her. She
prayed for a divorce and alimony. The
testimony at the hearing on April IL
was quite racy in parts and was re-
ported in The Herald of the following
day.
Yesterday the proceedings were
somewhat tame, the parties apparently
having come to an understanding on
all points except the amount of ali
mony to be awarded to Mrs. Tolhurst.
Testimony as to the means of the
plaintiff was introduced, and his honor
finally granted Mrs. Tolhurst the de-
cree, awarding her alimony in the
sum of $500, payable half at once and
half in sixty days, end a further al
lowance of $12 a month, the plaintiff
10 pay the costs of the suit.
Richards & Richards were the at
borneys for the plaintiff, and Powers,
straup &. Lippman for the defendant.

HERALD PRIZE CUPS.
First Boy and Girl Born in the
State.
READY FOR PRESENTATION
MISS HEMINGWAY AND MASTER
JENSEN THE WINNERS.
The Girl Was Born in This City at
S:O4 a.. M, on January 18th, and
the Boy Was Born at GunnisOn,
Six Minutes Later.

Some months ago The Herald made
an offer of two handsome gold-lined
silver cups to the first boy and girl
born in Utah after the issuance of the
presidents proclamation declaring it a
state.
Candidates for these cups sprang up
all over the territory, from Logan to
st. George, and the contest IVES for a
time close, but it soon developed that
the prizes would go to little Sarah vi
late Hemingway of this city, and Mas
ter Grover James Jensen of Gunnison,
if the time of their respective births,
as reported, were duly authenticated.
The evidence was soon forthcoming.
and The Herald now has the official
certificates of the attending physicians
and midwives, showing that Miss Hem
ingway saw the light on January T..
1896, at S:04 a. m, and that Ma5>er
Jensen was born exactly six minutes
later.
The cups have therefore been suit
ably engraved, and will at once be pre-
scented to the lucky youngsters with
the compliments of The Herald.
In years to come, as these little ones
grow up, they will become important
persona es in the great commonwealth
Of Utah, as the first boy and girl born
In the state.

THAT OGDEN SHOOT.
Salt Lake Boys VIII Get Back at
the Junction City Cracks


The Ogden Standard of Thursday has
something anent the coming gun club
shoot, in which the members of the
Salt Lake organization are to partici-
pate, and in a labored article, intended
to be funny, says that the members
of the local society will not be in it.
This makes the boys here feel little
bit sore, as when it comes to shooting
the Ogden folks cannot even shoot
craps, to say nothing of hitting clay
birds thrown from a trap.
Ogden is priding herself on the prizes
it has offered. There are a pair of
shoes and a roast of beef and a pair
of overshoes and a job lot of Fugi tea
This tea, by the way, received a men
ton at the hands of this paper a few
days ago. It seems that an enterpris-
ing grocery firm up there offered a case
Of the same for prizes and it was di-
vided into lots so that every third prize
is Fugi tea. Jack May, in a josh, sent
a telegram asking for a sample, saying
Salt Lake would not attend without.
which the Ogden people took to be in
earnest, hence the story in the Stand
ard.
The Standard concludes its write up
with the following:
THE Ogden club has magnanimously
agreed to let the Salt Lake muzzle
leaders win the fifth prize in event No.
8, which is abner nit. That is the Dutch
for nothing"
The Salt Lake boys say when the
match is concluded the Ogden people
will be wiping the abner nit from their
faces.

Merely Denies a Legal Union of
Church and State.
DUTY OF THE AUTHORITIES
SHOULD Make THE MEANING CLEAR
TO THE PEOPLE.
A. It. Hefst Gives His views-Drayvs
announcement From II News Edi-
tOrial-Suggests the Adoption of
Resolutions By All Political Con-
ventiOns.

/ The general impression made by the
new manifesto was that it makes a dis
tinct denial that there has been any
use of church influence in the past
to direct the political action of the PEG
pie.
1t was further supposed and asserted
that the document is a direct answer
to, and denial of, the declarations
made by the reconvened Democratic
convention of last fall.
1t now appears that it is neither.
President Joseph F. Smith explains
both in public and in private in effect
that the manifesto is denial that
there has been any union of church and
state in Utah. Therefore, he says
the church and state need no divorce
ment, having never been married. -
He then goes on to point out that no
law on the statute books gives a pre-
ference for one church above another
If this is all that is meant by the
long preamble to the rule OF discipline
for church officials in the manifesto,
then no person is likely to raise any
objection TO that part of it.
We do not know that it has been
claimed by any persons or parties that
the church and the state have been by
legal enactment ever made one in
Utah. We do not know that any per-
sons or parties have asserted that the
laws of Utah discriminate in any way
between members of different creeds.
But of one fact we are tolerably GER
tain: There has been church inf1u-
encef used to secure, 0stensibly, a
nearly equal division of the people of
Utah between the two parties, but re-
ally, lit would seem, to secure and as
sure the permanent success of the
party Co which those leaders belong
who first used the argument and then
the influence" to secure the success
of their party. It now appears that
this was done under the plea of d.
viding the people about equally in
politics.
1t Yves this use of Church influence"
by authorized or unauthorized individ-
uahs 1--WE know not which) that was
condemned by the proceedings of the
Democratic reconvened convention. 1t
was this use of church influence" that
was conG emned by Democratic papers.
by Democratic primaries and conven-
tons and by Democratic speakers.
When, therefore, the new manifesto
appeared, it did not occur to any hlI-
man being, SO far as we know, to sup
PoSe l. was dlIy enIuS else IHdH d ue-
NAL of the resolute contention of the
Democratic party as voiced by the pro-
ceedings of the reconvened convention
1t is relief and pleasure to learn
that the manifesto is merely a denial
of a legal union" of church and
state-a musty and almost forgotten
issue in our midst.
But do the public also understand it.?
Clearly, they 90 not; and it is a plain
duty on the part of those who issued
the manifesto to make clear it's mean
ing on this important issue.

huptial knot was tied her husband has
treated her in q cruel and inhuman
manner. particularly in the month Of
June, 1895, at Sandy, when it is alleged

her to leave the house to save her life.
In January, it is alleged, he struck

WESTERN EDITORS.
They Will Be Entertained at Denver
This Year.

They Will Be Entertained at Denver
This Year.
Herald readers will remember that
the editors of the trans-M Mississippi
states, under the auspices of the Utah
Press association, met in this city last
fall, and that the event was nothing
less than grand affair, resulting in
materially advertising Salt Lake city
and the then prospective state of Utah
We learn that preparations for holding
the next meeting of the editors in Den
yer, are already in progress. There is
no doubt but that the Coloradoans will
Guido themselves in the entertainment
of the western editors; at the same
time, if the people of Denver endeavor
to equal or surpass what was done in
this city last year they will have to do
some tall hustling. We congratulate
Colorado on the part she is to play as
hostess of the newspaper men of the
western states and bespeak in advance
a glorious time.
