opIUM THEoLoGIcuNI.

They met and they talked where the
cross roads meet,
Four men from the four winds come,
And they talked of the horse, for they
loved the theme,
And never a man was dumb,
And the man from the north loved the
strength of the horse,
And the man from the east his pace,
And the man from the south loved the
speed of the horse,
The man from the west his grace.
So these four men from the four winds
came,
Each paused a space in his course
And smiled in the face of his fellow-man
And lovingly talked of the horse.
Then each parted and went his way
AS their different courses ran;
And each man journeyed with peace in
his heart
And loving his fellow-man.
They met the next year where the cross
Four men from the four winds come;
And it CHANGED as they met that they
talked Of God,
And never a man was dumb.
One imagined God in the shape of a man,
A spirit did one insist;
One said that nature itself was God,
One said that he didn't exist.
But they dashed each other with tongues
that Stung,
That smote as with rod;
Each glared in the face of his fellow
And wrathfully talked of God
Then each man parted and went his way,
As their different courses ran;
And each man journeyed with war in his
heart,
And hating his fellow-man.

KHnpIxG UP THE AGITATION.

Many have deprecated the agitation
that has been going on in Utah for the
past few days, and even weeks. The
agitation should not have been depre-
Gated so much as that cause for it has
been given. If discussion of the situa-
ton as it is causes agitation still the
discussion should go on that the sit
uation may be improved.
But who is responsible for all this
agitation? Not those who have dis
cussed it, but those who were primar-
lily the cause of it. Those who are pri-
narily the cause of it are those eccle-
siastical gentlemen who have been in
sisting that it is the right Of the priest
hood of their church to dictate in things
temporal as well as in things spiritual.
So long as such pretensions are made
so long will there be agitation.
Within day or two we have talked
with gentleman who knows the senti-
ment of the people of Utah as well as
any man in the state, and who always
has and still does enjoy their conf
dence and respect, and who has not
been nor is without ecclesiastical hon
ors. Very recently he told one of the
church leaders that he and other lead
ers were very largely responsible for
for the present agitation in Utah
through their talks to the people in
the various parts of the state. And he
told the gentleman the truth. 1t is
their talks and doings that all the agi-
tation is over; and they alone are re-
sponsible for them.
The same gentleman did not depre-
cate the present discussion of the reli-
gio-political situation in the state, but
thought it would all result in good,
that the line of demarkation between
religious and political affairs would be
much more clearly defined in conse-
quence of it. He also recognized, what
every thinking man recognizes, that
suspicious spring up quicker in Utah
than in any other state in the Union
and therefore there is all the greater
need to absolutely avoid doing any
thing that will give rise to them.
There will be no agitation in Utah
such as we are now having if those who
have the power through their ecclesi-
astical influence to control the politics
of the state, will absolutely refrain
from using it for political purposes.

LYNCHING DENOUNCED IN TENNEs-
SEE.

Last Monday there was large
gathering in he court house at Nc
Minnville, Warren county, Tennessee,
of the best citizens from all parts of
the county for the purpose of taking
action regarding the recent lynchings
in the county. Speeches were made
by number of prominent men de-
nouncing mob violence in general and
Warren county mob violence in particu-
lar. That was not all. Resolutions
were adopted strongly denouncing as
murderers the perpetrators of the four
lynchings recently committed in the
county. They went still further and
denounced them as outlaws and enc
mics to every good citizen. Those who
denounced them pledged themselves to
use every influence and effort in their
power to have these common enemies
apprehended and punished. They de-
clared it was their intention, at any
expense and hazard, to put a stop to
mob violence in the county. 1t was
finally Resolved, That the chairman
OF this meeting appoint a committee
of two citizens from each civil district
of the county to solicit subscriptions
to a fund with which to supplement
any reward which may be offered by
the governor
All this is most encouraging and
shows that the people of Tennessee
are becoming aroused to the enormity
Of these lynchings which the citizens
of Warren county characterize as "the
most old-blooded. horrible crimes
known to the criminal laws of any
civilized country, absolutely without
the color of excuse or palliation' They
realize that the name of their state is
becoming a synonym for lawlessness
Tennessee lynchings have been more
horrible and soul sickening than any
in all the country So long as the
public sentiment of the state has not
come out in strong condemnation of
them it was certain the officers would
not be over active in pushing prosecu-
tons against the perpetrators Of them
Tennessee will have completed one
hundred years of her existence as a
state on June l next. She will cele-
brate the event, but she could not do
better or grander thing than to re-
solve that the lynchings that have dis
graced her of late shall never be re-
peated.

temporary suspension of the WIZ of
habeas corpus. Then he declares:
The provisions herein set forth apply
/ in terms TO all persons accused of the
commission of treason or other capital
crimes in the United States, and there
fore, as we'll by the letter of the law
as in virtue of existing treaties, the
said provisions extend to and compre-
bend all Spaniards residing or being in
the United States.
This was en1inently satisfactory to
Senior Calderon Collantes, who de-
clared as follows:
In view of the satisfactory adjust
ment of the question in manner SO
proper for the preservation of the
friendly relations between the respect
i've governments, and in order to afford
! to the government of the United States
the completest security of the SINGER
ity and good faith of his najesty's gov
eminent in the premises, command will
he given by royal order for the strict
observance of the terms of the present
protocol in all the dominions of Spain
and specifically in the island of Cuba
Here is the ground upon which the
Madrid government suspended the exc
cution of the sentences upon the two
Americans captured as filibusters.
They could not have been hanged from
the yardarm as pirates, as suggested
by ex-Minister of Foreign Affairs Mora,
for they were not committing
! any act that could be construed as
piracy by the law of nations. AS he
says, the protocol of 1877 was never
formally ratified by the Spanish par
lament, but Notwithstanding this it
was a very specific understanding. OF
course it cannot be contended that
mere protocol has the force of a SOL
emn treaty, but it will have that force
that has been accorded it by the par
ties thereto, That is what the United
States desire to ascertain in the pres
ent case.
The suspension of the execution of
the sentences is in all probability but
prelude to their final revocation. An
incident fraught with many disagree
able possibilities is thus, for the time
being at least, and perhaps perma-
nently, gotten over without any rup-
ture.

TALES OF THE DAY.
Did Not Know Whether to Expect
Monev or q RexoIYer.


One of the "old settler" lawyers of Bill
lings, Mont, has been spinning early
times stories. The following is printed
by the Billings Gazette:
In the year 1862 ii. ii. Mund came IN
here from DeadWOod to start a bank. AL
though he wasn't exactly verdant, ne
hadn't been out west long and had very
considerable respect for sIx-shooters and
other implements of like nature, which
were worn as ornaments by almost every
one in those days. He had some expe-
fence, too, in dancing in Deadwood, at
which times he would become very play
full, and his antics Afforded much amuse-
ment to those who gathered to look on.
For this and for other reasons he had
become very conservative and avoided
mingling in any questionable society. The
building in which the bank was to be To-
Gated was frame, and was not finished
the safe was put temporarily in tent,
which was occupied by Tulley, Hart &
Frleze, as a hardware store Mund mad
been in these quarters but a few days
when a rough, wild looking man, dressed
in Montana broadcloth, with a Winchester
over one arm and brace of six-ShooterS
in his belt stepped into the tent and in
gruff voice inquired for the new banker
Mund was pointed to as the man wanted
and the weSterner approached.
Ugh! Are you the new banker? said
the stranger.
Yes, sir; anything can do for YOU?
The stranger reached down in his
pockets and in an instant up went Mund S
hands and his face became as pale as
death, while his knees Knocked together
and became so weak that he could not
take refuge in fight.
"A broad smile spread over the face of
Tom McGirl, the cattle baron, as instead
Oh a SlX-ShooterS, as Mund expected, he
drew out $4,000 in bills for deposit and
asked in his gruff, business-like way:
Are you ready to do little business?'
The agony was over and Mund's pulse
soon began to beat regularly again.

ENFORCED RESPECT.

Under the above heading The Her
aid has received the following commu-
nication on the subject of the recent
rule concerning contempt promulgated
by the state supreme court:
Editor of The Herald:
The issue of The Herald of the 18th
announcing a new rule by the SUI
preme court of Utah, on the subject
of contempt, prompts the inquiry
whether or not that body has gone too
far in what appears to be an effort to
enforce respect
Among the powers given by the (ter-
ritoriaD state statute to every judicial
officer, is this: ITO preserve and en-
force order in his Immediate presence.
and in proceedings before him, when
he is engaged in the performance of
official duty" and among the acts emu
merated for which person is liable to
be punished are, "disorderly, contempt
uous or insolent bahavior toward the
judge while holding the court-breach
of the peace, boisterous conduct or vi
olent disturbance-tending to interrupt
the due course of trial or other Judi
cial proceedings"
From this it is manifest that, so far
as the class of offenses sought to be
reached by the new rule are concerned.
the state statutes do not warrant its
issuance. And further, by comparison.
note the United States statutes on this
subject, which have been in force for
over a hundred years: 1.-THE courts
shall have power to punish contempts
of their authority; provided, that such
power to punish contemptS shall not be
construed TO extend to any cases eX-
cept the misbeIhavior of any person in
their presence, or so near thereto as to
obstruct the administration of justice,
ETC."
The stretching of the rule is so ap-
parent that it causes even to the I'M
professional a surprise that the high
est tribunal of the state should thus
endeavor 10 command respect-whether
it deserves it or not-and it does not re-
quire a. legal mind ito determine how
futile such an attempt would be.
The members of that tribunal might
learn a little every day common gump-
ton from the ruling of the old Yer
ginia Judge, when some of the attor-
neys were ''haggling'' about decision
he had rendered: We'll, gentlemen
that's my decision you can take an
appeal, or adjourn and cuss the court
The persons constituting any court
in Utah had just as we'll learn now, as
they will later, that the freedom of
speech, and the individual, as under
stood and practiced in this western
country, will not be abridged by any
such rule" as promulgated, and the
oftener attention is called Ito it, The

broader Will be the smile that goes
around.
The motto every judge should paste
in his hat is, Deserve respect" for

UTAH.
The new rule of the supreme court
as to what shall constitute contempt of
court is causing more or less comment
of an adverse nature. and this is par
ticularly 50 with the attorneys. Thus
far its effect has not been to encour-
age respect for the court, as 1t is felt
an effort has been made to curtail the
right of free speech and just criticism.
The rule should be rescinded as 1t can
accomplish no good, and if evil dis
posed persons so choose they can make
it source of much annoyance by be-
coming tale bearers.
If a case under it were to occur and
the party charged with contempt offer
ed the statute as defining what the
powers of the court are in such cases.
1T would present an anomaly as the
supreme court has established the rule
which is of itself a construction of the
statute by the court of last resort.
The majority of men, evensthose who
wear the ermine, are very apt to think
that just but severe criticism of their
actions is using improper language
towards them.
The rule will hardly prove satisfac
tory to court or bar.

The Illinois Humane society has put
forth an edict which claims that the
practice of carrying little babies in
baskets ON bicycles in front of grown
people is very injurious to the child,
and it must stop. 1t certainly is a
very dangerous practice, for if a col
lision were to occur the child would
almost surely be killed. And the result
would be much the same if the rider
were thrown from his wheel. 1t can
do a baby nc good to have the rather
strong current of air that rapid rid
ing produces, blowing against. its
lungs. Parents who take their little
babies for a spin on the wheel are
running great risks, and it is astonish-
ing they do not realize the fact.
