well as they might have done. The
clerk of the weather had not made pro-
vision for a pleasant day. 1t was
gloomy, cold and windy on the lake. An
incipient storm arose and died away,
and made again fitful effort. just suffi-
cient to arouse a chilly breeze which
made overcoats necessity and a warm
stove a luxury.
But the memory of Brigham Young
was fittingly honored. There was not
great enthusiasm, there was no wild
furor, there was no avalanche of ap-
plause, for the chill weather had stolen
the warmth of the gathering. But
there were strong speeches made, tell
ing incidents in the life of the great pio
neer, telling of his characteristics, his
rugged honesty and his great capacity
for leadership that would honor any
man.
1t was a remarkable gathering in
more ways than one. There were pres
ent six widows, nine married sons, eight
married daughters and host of grand
children of the man whose memory was
being honored. 1t was impossible to
count the number of his relatives, and,
in fact, not half of them were there.
The cold weather had kept many of
them away, and many of them that
have scattered all over the state and
throughout the Union were unable to
come.
Morning Salute.
The celebration began early yesterday
morning with a salute of forty guns
fired from Arsenal hill, at the head of
Main street. The number corresponds
with the number of stakes in Zion. A
large flag of the stars and stripes, prob
ably the largest in the world, which has
become famous as the Utah state flag.
was hung on the south side of the tenn
pie. Held's band played appropriate
music upon the streets during the fore
noon as the immediate descendants of
the great pioneer were going toward the
Rio Grande depot to take the 10:90 train
for Saltair. Others followed them out
to the lake on later trains till the crowd
reached several thousands.
During the noon hour about sixty os
the descendants of Brigham Young sat
down to dinner in one of the rooms
back of the band stand on the second
floor of the pavilion. There were pres
ent during. the dinner these sons of
Brigham Young: Brigham, Alfales,
Don Carlos, Willard, Alonzo. B. NJ, L.
D., Oscar and Heber, and these daugh-
ters: Mrs. Maria Y. Dougall, Mrs.
Della Harrison, Mrs. Clarissa Spencer,

Especial to The Herald

Boise, Ida, June 1.-The supreme
court today decided the habeas corpus
case brought in the interest of the
Coeur d'Alene rioters to determine the
legality of the action of Governor
Steunenberg in declaring Shoshone
county in a state of insurrection and
placing it under martial law. The
application was made on behalf of Will
liam Boyle, one of the commissioners
of Shoshone county, who is under ar
rest. The supreme court denied the
writ in one of the most vigorous de-
cisions ever handed down by that tri-
bunal, upholding every action of the
governor.
I'VE are of the opinion" the court
says, that whenever, for purpose of
putting down insurrection or rebellion,
the eXigencies of the case demand it,
for the successful accomplishment of
the end in view, it is entirely competent
for the executive or the military Off
Ger in command. if such there be, Ell

Will Garry Case Up.
It is known that the state was fully
prepared, in case the supreme court
had issued the writ. Warrants had
been placed in the hands of United
States marshals for every man under
arrest, and they would have been
served as soon as the writ was issued,
providing the governor and General
Merriam did not find it expedient to
defy the writ.
Colonel Reddy said in the course of
an interview today:

the supreme court of the United States.
l am now preparing an application for
a writ OF habeas corpus to be presented
to United States Judge Beatty. If he
denies it we will go right along to

An Absurd Proposition.

"It would be an absurdity to say that
the action of the executive under such
circumstances may be negatives and
set at naught by the judiciary, or that
the action of the executive may be
interfered with or impeded by the ju-
dietary. If the courts are to be made
sanctuary, aid or refuge, whereunto
malefactors may fee for protection
from punishment justly due for the
commission of crime, they will soon
cease to be that palladium of the
rights of the citizens so ably described
by counsel.

to hinder, delay or place Instructions
in the path of duty prescribed by law
for the executive, but rather to render

The Denver News of Wednesday
indulged in half column editorial
criticism OF Representative Patter-
sons bill to establish a banking
department to regulate the busi-
ness OF banks. The bill provides
for bank commissioner at a salary
of 81, 900 per aunum, and a clerk
at 81, 200. The News does not
criticize the merits of the measure,
but doubts the wisdom of in
creasing the number OF salaried
officials OF the state. The depart
ment could be added to the duties
of other officials OF the state with
out making official life altogether
burdensome.

A bill has been introduced in
the legislature designed to lessen
the great burdens OF taxation by
reducing the cost OF advertising
the delinquent tax lists. 1t is pro-
posed to cut down the number OF
publications from four to two, and
thus effect saving of 40 per cent
in the total cost Of advertising.
OF course this bill will meet with
the hearty approval Of all country
newspaper publishers who have
been advising our lawmakers to
exercise the strictest economy at
this session. The newspaper
fraternity are particularly exper-
fenced in matters Of economy, and
the average editor can justly claim
that ''pinching" is his long suit.
Now that the lawmakers have got
horse on the newspaper men, il
would be no more than right for
them to make reduction OF 40 per

know of no reason why General

Suppose Alger did form an alliance

not Mckinley havedone the same thing
If he had the opportunity and would be
benefited by it?
mckinley will be renomiDated and
reelected. Nobody else is talked of
on the republican side.
"A1ger has done nothing wrong.
What reason is there for removing
him? 1 think be has been unfairly
treated. I would like to see some of
the papers stand up for him.
81 don't know much about politica !
conditions in Ohio just now. We (the
anti-Hanna men) elected majority of
the delegates to the state convention.
You know how they got them away
