PREFERENCE FOR VETERANS.
OF THE G.. A. r.
ENCAMPMENT.
The Government and All Citizens
Asked to Discriminate in Favor
OF Wounded Soldiers.

BUFFALO, Aug. "a part CT the
business transacted in the executive
session of the Grand Army of the Re-
pubic ercampment was the following:
resolution was adopted urging the
Government to enforce the law rela-
tive 70 the employment in Government
work of soldiers who We're wounded
during the war and recommending all
citizens who have occasion to give en-
ployment to discriminate wherever pos
sible IN favor of such veterans.
The committee reported in favor of
urging Congress to pass a bill setting
apart $40 acres of timber land in IN
dian Territory for the use of the in
mates of the Soldiers Home of Ok
lahoma- The report was adopted.
The communication from the Lincoln
Association of California recommend
ing that monuments to Lincoln be
erected in every city in the land was
indorsed, and the National Monument
Association will be asked to take favor
able action.
The committee reported favorably
upon a proposition that the encamp-
ment urge the passage of a bill in Con-
gress to appropriate money to build
sanitarium at Castle Pinkney in
Charleston Harbor as a memorial to
Major Anderson of Fort Sumter fame.
The encampment indorses the report.
A resolution was adopted thanking
the Common Council and the Young
Mems Business Association of Rich
mond for the invitation to the encamp
ment to visit that city in 1898, and rec
ommending that the next encampment
take favorable action.
Resolutions indorsing the acts of the
outgoing administration, the introduc-
ton of military instruction in schools
and urging the reduction of expenses in
the encampment were adopted.
The new officers were installed by
General Wagner of Pennsylvania, the
oldest surviving Commander-in-Ch Chief.
Commander-in-Ch Goblin has three
appointments to make-Quartermas
General Adjutant- General and Inspec-
tor General. The first two are salaried
offices, the position of Quartermaster-
General paying 81 500 a year. General

tones that will admit of no doubt Of
their meaning, namely the laws must be
so adjusted and their procedure so cor

but Will be born into a better system,

social enemy, that he shall be put be-

purpose, and thus possibly be made OF
some use to mankind.
This school of philosophers who have
their chief seat at the National Capital,
are entirely sincere in the promulgation
of these doctrines. While we are far
from indorsing them we point out the
fact of their preaching as an indication
that the time is not far distant when
the certainty and swiftness Of the Grim
inal law will so deter the criminally
minded, that the conditions will be pro-
gressive, not retrogressive as the Post
fears.
Another fact cannot have escaped at
tention, namely that the feeling is deep
ening into conviction all over the land
that the spirit, determination, sense OF
justice, and courage that move men to
act with violence in Furnishing criminals

and find it's larger activities in duty
doing in political life, in the choosing OF
officers. administrative and executive,
and in the formation of competent ana
fearless panels to pass upon the ques-
tions of guilt or innocence
The same celerity, indignation, firm
ness, courage, spirit and sense of out
ragged decency that moves men to set
up Judge Lynch and execute his de-
crees in defiance of the law, injected
into orderly civil life, will give us sys-
TEN that will render lynch law tradi-
ton. To that we believe we are COM
ing. The people will set up standards
such as the "Oregonian" declares are
necessary for legislators and admins
traitors of the law that win correspond
to the expression of outraged manhood
that is manifest in lynching bees. Such
standard we believe will be established,
and that society will require conformation
to it. by both lawmakers and law execu-
tors. Either that or civilization will
prove failure and cheat. and that IS
unthinkable.

commu nication from the Old Folks
comnittee, calling attention to the
TACT that about one thousand Of tho
bonored veterans are expected to vlsit
Salt Lake City during the entertain
mept to be provided for them about
the 2lst OF June, and also that about
half OF this number will have to be
cared for during their stay here. The
committee desires to hear from cili-
gems who are willing to welo ,me these
visitors to their homeE. We trust the
appeal will receive prompt and gen.
erous reply. Hospitality IL virtue
which, as We are told, has sometimes
been rewarded by the visit OF angels
"unawares," but In case like the
present the inducement to open our

FIRST LUCERN IN UTAH.

A few days ago the News made ref.
ereuco to the roduciiou, by RES
dents OF Utah, into the Southern States
and elsewhere, of the forage plant
iuoern, nnd the success 1t was
achieving wherever cultivated. AT
this particular time Of Pioneer refer
ences, 1t is interesting to recall the
circumstances OF the introduction OF
lucerp, or alfalfa, into western Ameri.
co, the first place OF Its cultivation In
that section being In this State, from
where seed was sent to California and
elsewhere.
The persons who brought the frat
lucern seed to Utah were Hon. Elias
Morris and the late John Parry, OF
this city. They were Mormon mis-
sionarIss in Great Britain, and when
In FiintshiIe, Wales, had their par.
ticular attention drawn to lucern
planted along railway embankments
On the river Dee, where they noticed
that the roofs OF the plant grew twelve
to fourteen feet long. Being natives
Of Wales, and lucern being cultivated
10 many places in Great Britain as
fodder for domestic animate, they were
in "a measure familiar with 1t,
but its growth on the rail-
way cmbankment impressed them
with the idea that IL would
be- good thing for Utah; so when in
Liverpool they went into shop In
Great Crosshsll street and bought sew.
eral pounds OF the seed.
That was in ls49; and the next
spring Elder Parry-tEey having
come to planted some In his
lot In the Sixteenth ward in this city.
The seed was distributed to others,
and each year the amount OF lucern in-
creased, as hay for COWS. For many
yeare 1t was grown as u garden crop, US
there was fear OF its "bloatinG" stock,
through not thoroughly understanding
its curing and use. But gradually 1t
gained in favor, and became the chief
field crop 10 the State for nay. VITA.

could have done for feed for animal,;
certainly it would not have been pos-
sible to support 80 many as have been
maintained here, or to have KEEP, them

From the forecast OF his new book
by DR.. Lo Plongeon, IL should prove
one OF the most important OF that
character given to the world. The
subject with which he Is dealing lie
OF more than ordinary iuteresl-it lie
deeply absorbing topic, involving
not only historical Information re.
garding ancient America, but the
matter OF communication from God
to man in modern times. Mr.
LIE Piongeon will discuss the
Immigration TO America anG
the Christian religion thereon. Those
same subjects have received marked
attention IN modern revelation; ior
the Lord revealed to the Prophet
Joseph Smith q sacred history which
conveyed Information on those topics.
This record is known as the Book OF
Mormon; and II has been male tue
object OF much ridicule and misrepre-
sentation. But It has been i'm preg ia BILE
