reached here of a desperate fight near the
Chihuahua line. For some days past
Marshal Hall and a posse have been in hot
pursuit of Black Jack and his gang Sew
eral times the officers OF the law were quite
close to the desperadoes, but never near
enough TO engage them.
Finally, however, they caught them In u
position where they had to fight. The
sheriff's posse opened fire first. = At the
first fire the notorious Bob Hayes was
killed.
Black Jack himself was badly wounded.
Despite his severe wounds the bandit es-

They are still in pursuit of Black Jack.

CHURCH AND
POLITICS
IN UTAH.

Gus, and dropped from the rolls of the
church because he refused to submit to its
dictation in the matter Of his candidacy
for the United States Senatorship. That
is the real cause, at least. though his Con-
turnacy nominally consisted in his refusal
to appear before church council and
Justify himself for becoming a candidate
without the consent and sanction of the
church authorities. Here is as close an alli-
Sance of clerical and political affairs as
can well be imagined. and a direct and
church organization with the rights and
privileges of the citizen. Perhaps the Nor
mons may seek to justify their course by
the assertion that "A religious society has
the right to prescribe rules and regulations
for the copduct of its members, and that an
infraction of the SINE by any one consti-
tutes sufficient cause for his expulsion.
This, of course, is true to Il certain extent,
but it does not affect the real issue, which
is an improper attempt Of the Mormon
Church to ctirtai the prcroeative of the
citizen.
Mr. Thacher had and has the same right
as any otEer duly qualified citizen and resi-
dent of the State of Utah to offer himself as
as a candidate for the United states Senate.
His doing so, or his attending to his Sena-
torial duties in the event of his election
would in no wise affect his allegiance to
the church or the discharge of his obliga-
tions toward it. The action Of the church
council, therefore, manifests an intention
to control the citizen as well as the man,
and to exact the same obedience from the
one as from the other. Just there lay the
bone OF contention prior to the passage of
the Edmunds law-the influence of the
church in the political life of the then
terrtory-and it would seem that its lead
ing spirits are inclined again TO assert it
now that Utah has become State and its
relations to the general government have
gained in Importance by that fact.

altogether too frequent; in fact, in many

advanced in behalf of sheriffs or iail"rs.
1t is their sworn duty to safeguard their
charges until the law has been satisfied
or thcprisoners are acquitted anddischarged
from custody. If the Jail is unsafe, rs is
frequently the case. the sheriff ought To
find some ether prison for the safekeepng
of the accused person. or summon force to
defend the place and its inmates against
mob violence. The superior force 10 which
sheriffs and iailerS sometimes pretend to
succumh is not inlrequently quite fictitious,
and they are in sympathy with the mob
instead of endeavorng to thw art its pur-
pose. Not only are they paid for protecting
as well as safckccping prisoners, but they
are bound by their official oaths.
All the elements for the complete ex-
ploitation of the whole subject are present
in the Charles county case. The progress
and final issue of the same VIII be watched

CHAl GANG. TO such a degree that
women fear to go out
of doors lest their ears
be shocked. The grievance of those citizens
would seem to be well founded, and il the
Commissioners are officially acquainted
with it, there is hardly doubt but that
they will find a remedy. In the first place,
the employment of the chain gang upon
street work is against public policy in that
1t deprives honest Iaboring men who have
families to support of the opportunity to
earn little money. The fellows who work
in the gang do not regard their task as ut
all unpleasant; on the contrary, they much
prefer walking about in the fresh air 10
being cooped up in a cell, or even within
the walls of the workhousc. They are I'ds
ovcrtaXed with work, 1t is said, but
dawdle along until the 'chuck wagon
comes along at noon and brings them their
dinner rations. After that they pass few
at work, and then are returned to their
quarters, where supper awaits them.
The suggestion has been advanced that
IT would be far mere sensible for the Dis
trict TO purchase Il tract of land and let
these fellows cultivate it for the raising
or vegetables that might be dealt out to
the many families who in the winter are
n. Ct.
their work amounts TO less than nothing,
and, as already stated their employment
makes against the honest laboring men.
Resides, 1t may be questioned If the daily
appearance on the public streets OF men in
prison garb is conducive to a healthy state
of public morals. At any rate, the ob5ec-
ton raised against it and the suggestions
coupled herewith would seem to deserve
tie attention of those in authority.
