S.-(Special)--As a result of a visit by

the purpose of levying On some cattle.
Lindsay and another farmer. named Jack

the effects Of pistol and gunshot wounds
The attachment was issued several days
previous. but was not served until Fri
day, when Mr.. Morris, having business
in that neighborhood, also visited Mr..
Lindsay. As soon as ne made known
his object. Mr.. Lindsay ordered him from
the premises under threats of instant

secured his gun and when they were
within a few yards of the dwelling or

pEARLY-BOUGHT PEACE.

Spain has accepted our terms, or rather
acceded to our demands. and American
imperialism is an accomplished fact so
far as it in the power hes of Mr.. McKin-
ley and his commissioners TO make it SO.
That Spain would yield, when she had eX-
bausted all diplomatic resources and
found that Mr.. McKinley's ultimatum was
an ultimatum in the true sense of the
term. we have never doubted. We have
never taken counsel with the fear that
negotiations" might be broken off and
hostilties resumed. IL has seemed clear
TO us all along that no course was open
TO Spain but that of bowling 10 the de-
crees of Er. Mckinley as laid before her
by his commissioners. no matter how
hard might be the conditions they i'm
posed.
None the less. the proceedings at Paris
yesterday eliminate all doubt others may
have entertained as to the matter. They
amount practically 10 a formal draft of a
treaty OF peace between the United States
and Spain. They make assurance Of
peace double sure. But in our view peace
has been dearly bought for us. 1t has
been bought at the expense Of our birth
right as a republic, we fear. 1t has been
bought at the expense of the reputation
OF some Of the most cherished doctrines
OF those who founded the republic. 1t
has been bought at the expense of the
violation OF the solemn pledge we gave
the world when we entered upon the war
with Spain. For our $9oOOO,OoO we get not
merely so many islands but g.
Coo,cO0 or 100000 of savage and
seui-savage. wards, and several new
race problems TO veX us. In the
deal we purchase conditions that
will be the fruitful source of all sorts OF
corruption and necessitate a military es-
adjustment that will be obnoxious to the
genius Of our institutions. We purchase,
possibly, as foreshadowed in Paris dis
patches, the il-will OF Continental Eu-
rope. and The prospect. the certainty, al
most, of becoming entangled in the diplo-
macy and the quarrels of foreign nations.
Yes. paradoxical as it may appear. al

the imperalist element in the Republican

most dearly. Such a peace with all the

be dear at any price. The bargain is one
pregnant with dangers. The only hope
OF the country now lies in the Senate.

HIS THREE WIVES.

Under the Constitution each house of
Congress is the judge of the qualification
OF It own members. From its judgment
there IS no appeal. Its action is final 1t
may refuse to seat any claimant whose
record is discreditable. or who is under
the ban of the law; but 1t has not been
in the habit of inquiring very closely into
the personal standing of those who pre-
scented certificates Of election.
But in the case OF Mr.. Roberts. of Utah,
who has at least three wives" the
House will have 10 decide whether he is
disqualified or not, as his seat is con-
tested.
OF course, the starting point Of any in
vestigation must be as 10 whether it is
true Roberts has more than one wife, and,
IL so. whether he is. therefore, a law
breaker.
According to the newspapers, Mr..
Roberts does not deny that he has three
wives. Not at all; but he asserts that
he has the right to them, inasmuch as
the women in question were sealed TO
him before polygamy was prohibited in
Utah. This plea, however, is specious.
The laws of Congress legitimized the chill
dren born to polygamous fathers, but they
did not recognize the marriages in
question.
If the laws were faithfully executed in
Utah, Mr.. Roberts would be convicted
and sent to the penitentiary but, instead
Of that. he is on his way to Washington
to claim a seat in the House! The fact is,
the influence OF the Mormons is so great
few grand juries can be persuaded to in-
dict members Of that Church, so called
Mr.. Roberts was elected as a Democrat,
but he would have been elected just the
same If he had called himself a Republic
can. l.. was the Mormon influence that
elected him. The Church let it be known
that they wished Roberts to be elected,
and elected he was.
1t is not clear to us why the Mormons
wish to challenge public attention and
fly in the face of public sentiment in this
way. What do they expect TO gain by 1t?
How will 1t benefit them? We cannot
see Perhaps they argue among them
selves that, if Roberts should be admitted
10 the House, it would be a great triumph
for them, and that, if he should be reject
ed. they would be no worse off than they
are now.
Whether other men who have recently
Utah in Congress have been
or not we do not know, but
the case of Roberts is such a fragrant one,
it will be impossible for the House to
dodge it. II lie is the law-breaker that
he is said to be, he has no business in
the House, AID the people will sustain it
in excluding him. He is just the kind of
man that an example should be made Of.

Your correspondent finds that there arc
two views as 10 what the Legislature
should do in regard to impeaching the
Governor. 1t is asserted that there are
ample grounds for impeaching him and
all the other State officials, save the At
tOrney-General and Superintendent Of
Public instruction. One view is that
there should be Impeachment. But this
would require q long session. lasting,
perhaps, until summer, while the business
interests Of the State desire a short ses-
sion and as few new laws as possible
Another view, therefore, is to have a
short session, enact few laws, and then
take a recess until August next, so that
then, If the Governor refuses. or fails.
TO execute the laws, or in case the Su-
preme Court should declare them uneon-
stitutional the Legislature can take
proper action. The odds are therefore,
against impeachment. But is assuredly

no secret that ne fears Il.
