we recommend that the city council take,
steps at once to provide compensation
for an attorney who shall give his entire
time to the prosecution of these cases
before the city justice courts; and, fur

tions effective, in the event of appeals
being taken from convictions which may
be obtained. stenographer be provided
to take evidence of these trials so that
the testimony may be perpetuated.
The police commissioners came into
the chamber during the reading of the
resolution, and at its conclusion Com
missioner Gibbon addressed the council
at some length, urging the council to
grant the request as set forth. After de-.
failing the increase Of the Chinese lot
terry business, and the harm it was do
ing, Mr.. Gibbon eaid that after giving
considerable time to investigating the
question, he had come to the conclusion
that the plan suggested was the only
practicable method of SuppresSing the
evil. The county had declined to pay
any part of the salary Of the special
prosecuting attorney, but he thought it
would be good business policy for the
city to pay the entire amount rather
than have the cases fall through at this
time. The police judges had promised
to cooperate with the commissioners in
suppresJsing the evil, and single fine
in case Of conviction, would pay the SAL
aries of the attorney and stenographcr
for months.
Councilman Hutchison moved that the

ed, when Councilman Toll raised the
point that ae there was little conflict
between the city and county, he did not
think 1t wise for the city to admit that
the county was not bound for the salary
Of the attorney by paying it all.
After some general debate, the whole
matter was settled by the adoption OF
the following resolution prepared by MI
Gibbon
Resolved, That, pending the settle

county as to which shall pay the ealary
Of an attorney to prosecute cases for vio-

the election is due to be passed today,
but before presenting it deem it neces-
sary and proper to call your attention
to the recent decision of the supreme
court of this state in the case of Murphy
VS.. San Luis Obispo, wherein it is held
that bonds issued under the statute un-
der which these school bonds must be
issued cannot be made payable in gold
coin alone, but must be made payable
in gold coin or lawful money of the
United States. Seven petitions for a re-
hearing in banc have been filed during
the past week in this case, in one of
which we have Joined, and the court will
either deny or grant re-hearing by the
10Th or 20th of this month. If re-hearing
is denied the result will be that all bonds
issued under this statute will have to be
made payable in gold coin or lawful
money and cannot be made payable in
gold ooin alone until the legislature in it's
wisdom may see fit to amend the statute
If a re-hearing is granted the matter
will be under consideration for several
months before we are able to pass an
ordinance with any certainty as to
whether these bonds can be made gold
bonds or must be payable in lawful
money. If you determine to call an cleo
ton, and issue bonds before this uues-
tion is fully decided, please advise me at
once so that can present the ordinance
today if possible, as the ordinance should
be passed today If you intend to go ahead
with the matter under these conditions.
Referred to finance committee.

ST. ANNE's oRPHANAGE.

There opens today in the old federal
court room in the Wasatch building, a
bazaar for the benefit of St. Anne's or
phanage. The orphanase is the spec
ial care of Bishop Scanlon and is IN
der the Immediate supervision of the
Sisters of Charity. To it the bishop
devotes much time and all the money
he can get; the purpose of the bazar
which opens today is to get more
money; a bazaar could not be held for
a higher, nobler purpose than this.
AT the present time there are 60 little
souls in the orphanage, and there they
receive the care and attention that
mothers and fathers give their little
ones, but they have neither fathers nor
mothers. The object of the orphanage
is to give these little boys and girls a
home where they will receive tender
and loving care. The only question
asked when child is received is, Is
the child an orphan? Who were the
father and mother, what their religious
profession or whether they had any, is
never asked Surely those who. out OF
their love for mankind. are aiding and
comforting those who are homeless and
fatherless and motherless, deserve the
aid and encouragement of all. Remem-
Der that the bazaar is for the benefit OF
little children Suffer little children
to come unto me, and forbid them not;
for of such is the kingdom of God.

HAYTIEN TREATMENT OF AM
ERICAN CITIZENS.

No doubt in her dealing with Hayti
Germany was very perenlptory and
very inconsiderate Of the wishes Of for
eigners at Port au Prince, but n0twith-
standing ali this, there has been
great deal of sympathy wasted on
Hayti. Our own country has a claim
on Hayti for i'll treatment off an
American citizen. and the claim is sew
eral years old. This case has been
brought forward in the United States
senate. It is that Of Bernard Camp
bell, and is interesting and instructive.
Senator Kyle of South Dakota has in
troduced a resolution directing the
senate committee on foreign relations
to communicate with the state depart
ment, and report to the senate at an
early day. what progress has been
made towards the settlement of Camp
BELLS claim against Hayti. The
state department will scarcely have
much to communicates for Acting Sec
rotary of State Uhl, in May 1895, made
this statement:
The department has not received an
answer to the representations which
our minister at Port au Prince was di-
rected to make to the government of

had produced, to substantial indemnity.
It was stated in the dispatch that
Campbell, early in April. 1889. accepted
a position as an engineer on a mer-
chant steamer going to the West In

On arriving at Cape Haytien on the
18th of April 1889, the steamer Clyde,
upon Which he and others upon similar
contracts had sailed from New York,
was boarded by officers Of the Raytien

positively refused to do He was there

A MOB COURT IN MISSISSIPPI.

1t seems a strange thing to say that
the holding of a court by Judge Lynch
to try three men accused of heinous
crime shows an advance in civilization
and a growing regard for law, yet such
is the fact.
A few days ago terrible murder was
committed in Mississippi, and suspicion
rested upon three negroes as accom-
plices of the negro who was lynched
for it. Ordinarily in the south to accuse
a negro of a heinous crime is tanta-
mount to sealing his doom at the hands
of lynchers. In the present case an
impromptu court was instituted, and
trial before Judge Lynch had. The re-
suit was the men were found not guilty,
but We're ordered to leave the country
which they promptly proceeded to do.
It may be asked where, in all this
| proceeding, there is to be found any
evidence of an advance in civilization,
any growing regard for law. In this:
the accused men were not summarily
dealt with, but were given chance
to explain the charges against them,
and to give an account of themselves;
this was so much that it saved their
lives. The court that tried them had
no legal existence or authority, but it
had power and that is always much.
The proceeding shows that those en-
gagged in it were not satisfied in their
own minds of the guilt Of the accused,
a rare thing with those who indulge
in lynching. They showed regard for
law il adopting, after very rough
manner, the forms of law. That three
negroes in Mississippi could be accused
of murder. be in the hands of a, mob,
be given a mob trial and found not
guilty, gives hopes Of better things in
| the future.

GOV. ADAMS CoMMITTEE AT
FORT DUCHEsNE.

The committee appointed by Cover
nor Adams, of Colorado, to investigate
the Indian troubles in Routt county
has arrived at Fort Duchesne, after
having completed its Investigations in
Colorado.
1t may be an impossibility for this
committee to ascertain the exact truth
about the lamentable conflict between
the game wardens and the Indian
hunters; the exact truth is rarely as
certained in any case where there is a
conflict of testimony the best that can
be done is to approximate it. In the
present case all the committee can
hope to do is to obtain an accurate
statement from game wardens and In
dams of their version of the trouble.
If this is done, people will then have
to read both statements and judge for
themselves. There is almost certain
to be a conflict of statement, and if
such is the case, sympathy will have
to decide with most people as to who
We're the aggressors and who were not.
That there are two sides to the story

tee is impartial, neither seeking to
shield one party nor to make the other
appear to have been the aggressor, and
it must be presumed that it is, then
its report will have real value There
is an impression abroad that the peo-
pie of Colorado uphold the game war
dens in their conduct whether they
were right or wrong. This impression
has been created very largely by the
tone of some of Colorado's leading pa
pers. The facts no doubt are that
some of the people of Colorado justify
them and some do not
Governor Adams wants to ascertain
the facts in the case, and nothing else.
AT Fort Duchesne his commissioners
will be accorded every facility to pur-
sue their investigation and ascertain
the facts as the Indians see them. The
final report of the committee will be
awaited with interest by people in beth
