A. D. COULTER Is RELEASED.


Arthur d. Coulter was yesterday ar
raigned in Justice Austins court on the
charge OF bringing stolen property into
the state. preferred against him by DR.. ].
Eugene Jordan. After preliminary ex-
animation. during which several witnesses
were examined for the prosecution. he
matters in dispute between the defendant
and the prosecuting witness were OF n
nature over which court OF equity only
had Jurisdiction.
DR. Jordan told on the witness stand
substantially what he charged at the time
he caused WRIT to issue. alleging that
Coulter was Withholding 81 $50 which he
had secured from certain claims In the
Bluestone mining district
Asa c. Gardner. who owns an interest
In the claims. from which the defendant
was accused of stealing 100 ounces of gold
dust and falling to account for II. testl-
fed that from lays and rents the defend
ant and his brother had derived sums ap-
proximatng $3.50.
The defendants attorney moved a dis
missal Of the case upon the ground that
no money had been illegally withheld from
the complaining witness but that Coulter
was awaiting the arrival of his brother
from the north with a memorandum of
the expense Of working the claims. a por-
ton OF which, 1t was claimed. DR. Jordan
had agreed to pay, before making set
Element Of thair accounts.
The defendant further claimed that
when the contract between himself and
DIR. Jordan was entered into whereby the
former was 10 receive one-fourth inter-
est for certain labor performed. DIR. Jor-
dan agreed that out of the revenue 1900
was to be withheld and paid to a third
party In settlement for his interest under
the original location.
Justice Austin held that no intent to de-
fraud had been shown, and dismissed the
action with the statement that the differ
ences existing among the litigants were
for adjudication in n court of equity.
II is probable that n lawsuit of nature
different from that indicated by Justice
Austin will be one Of the results of Coul-
ter's arrest. Coulter yesterday stated
that he had consulted Judge X. A. Bal
linger. his lawyer, and would at once
bring an action for heavy damages by
malicious prosecution against Dr Jordan

ROBERTS AND THE SUN.

The New York Sun has been follow
ing the alleged investigation of Con
gresham Roberts domestic affairs
pretty closely and commenting upon
the developments of the case quite
freely. But now that the investiga-
zion has closed. the sun confesses its
disgust at the showing made by the
crusaders.
If the prosecutors Of Mr.. Roberts
have any case against him which af-
fords good ground for his expulsion
from the house Of representatives. +"
says the sun. '1et them bring it for
ward after his admission and turn him
out. The case for excluding him which
they have thus far presented, is IA
tally defective. and it IS no exaggera-
ton to say that its success would be a
menace to American liberty"
Having made no case which viii
warrant the house in closing its doors
against him. the sun suggests that he
be admitted, according to the law and
the evidence, and the accusers be
given another chance at him, on a
trial for expulsion.
But what does Representative Tay-
Ter care for the law?

as INVERSION 10 cas-.

Lord Roberts has a singular aversion
to cats-the four-legged feline pets
which are considered al ornament in
many homes and a necessity in Others.
If the stories told of him be true. the
hero Of a hundred fights could be
chased from the Cape to Cairo with a
team Of ordinary house cats.
Several years ago the London TeIe-
graph related a few anecdotes which
the whole Of England hopes and prays
have never come to the attention of the
Beers, who might use the information
to the further embarrassment Of the
invaders.
1t is related that. during one of the
actions outside Cabul, when bullets and
Sunshot were freely falling round the
general and his STAFF, he was. as usual,
serenely Indifferent to iron and leaden
hail But all at once he was observed
70 tremble. Terror shone from his
eyes. Like a man who saw a ghost he
stared and pointed. Officers of his
staff were seized with a panic. They
turned and saw a half starved black
cat perched upon a stone wall near by,
and it was not until the monster had
been removed by a volley that the gen
eral was able to resume the battle.
On another occasion a brigade COM
mander going to the quarters of the
commander-in-chief to escort him to
the STAFF mess, found him sitting al
most in a state Of collapse looking at
a friendly kitten that was rubbing its
back against his legs.
An eminent author returned to Lon
don from Asia with a very beautiful
cat, whose affection and intelligence he
was fond of placing on exhibition. Lord
Roberts was dining with this gentle
man a short time before he was sent to
take command Of the forces in South
Africa, when the cat found her way
into the room and Ieapt to the Shout
ders Of the host. Lord Roberts pain
fully explained that he would have to
leave, owing to a forgotten engagement,
but on being pressed remained, only on
condition, however, that the cat should
be banished while he was there.
When the new commander relieves
Butler in Natal it would not be sur
pr Eg to learn that the Beers were
firing hollow shells filed with cats into
the English lines.

SPECIAL FAVORs TO BANKS.

The sound currency bureau Of the
Republican party has just issued a
pamphlet, the object of which, appar-
entity. is To convince the people Of the
United States that the currency meas
ure now pending in congress very pro-
perly takes the issuance of paper
money from the government and gives
a monopoly Of it 10 banking corpora
tions.
In support Of this provision Of the
bin under discussion. quotations are
garbled from Albert Galatians pamph-
let on the Currency and Banking Sys-
tenn OF the United States" published
in 1881, as follows: 1.-The bank notes
and the deposits RESI- precisely on the
same basis. We can in no respect
whatever perceive the slightest differ
ence between the two; and we cannot
therefore but consider the aggregate
amounts OF credits payable on demand,
standing on the books Of the several
banks. as being part Of the currency
Of the United States"
An attempt is made 10 show that
bank deposits subject to check are
hank currency as truly as bank notes
are, and that the government, not hold
ing money subject to checks and there
fore not supplying the people with a
currency for daily business transac-
tons. should refrain from interfering
with the business Of the bankers and
suspend the issuance Of paper currency
altogether
Thesauthor Of that pamphlet evident
" overlooked or purposely concealed
the fact that Secretary of the Treasury
GaIatin said: THE right CT issuing
paper money al currency. like that OF
gold and silver coins, belongs exclu-
siVely to the nation, and can not be
claimed by any individual or individu-
ais"
He overlooked or ignored the utter
ance Of Secretary Of the Treasury
Crawford who said: Coinage and the
regulation Of money have. in all ma
tions. been considered the highest acts
of sovereignty - q paper. currency
IS issued upon the national credit. the
whole property Of the nation is pledg-
ed for its redemption. 1t is therefore
manifest that it should not issue upon
the credit Of any individual or assoeia-
ton Of individuals"
These were tie opinions of statesmen
and patriots who had the welfare. of the
government and the good Of the people
at heart. The banks triumphed over
them in congress but President Jack
led around with a gold collar on his
neck or his administration to be die
tated BY British Influences, had the

PRESIDENT SHOWS CARD.

The following authoritative declara-
ton by the official head Of the Church
OF Jesus Christ Of Latter-day Saints,
published in last evenings Deseret
News, should be accepted as a fun and
complete refuUation OF the charge chat
the Mormon church is trying to crowd
polygamy down the throat Of the
American public:
From the reading of the various edi-
torialS and articles Of the public press it
IS evident that there Is much miscOn-
StrUction and misunderstanding as 10 the
present attitude of our church respecting
che subjects OF pplygamy and unlawful
c0naDIIauOns and, believing that many
good and conscientious people have been
MfSIed ana much adverse criticism Occa-
stoned thereby, / feel il but just to both
MOrmoRs' and nom "MOrm0nS'' to state
thats IN accordance with the manifesto
OF the late President MILFORD Woodruff;
dated Sept. % 1880 which was presented
10 and unanimously accepted by our gen
erai conference on the 9Th Of October.
1880, the church has positively abandoned
the practice OF p0lygamy. or the solemn
izaU0n of plural marriages. in this and
every other state, and that no member
or officer thereof has any authority what
ever to perform a plural marriage or en-
ter into such relation Nor does the
church advise or encourage unlawful CO.
habitali0n on the part or any of its MEM
befs- II. therefore any member disobeys
the law, either as to pOlygamy or unlaW-
1ul cohanitaciOn, he must bear his own
burden or in other words, be ansWerabie
TO the tribunals Of the land for his own
action pertaining thereto.
With q sincere desire that the position
of our church as 10 pOiygamy and unlaw-
Iul cOn2bl ration may be better under
stood, ard with best wishes for the vel
fare and happiness Of ALL this statement
IS made, and IS respectfully commended
TO the careful consideration Of the public
generally. LORENZO SNOW,
President Of the Church of Jesus Christ
OF Latter-day Saints.
Salt Lake City, Jan. s. 1900.
There is nothing new in that an
nouncement to the people of Utah. It
has been the general understanding,
except among professional crusaders
and confirmed Mormon eaters, that the
attitude OF the church and of President
Snow has been exactly as he states it
ever since his succession to the presi-
dency of the organization.
The announcement viii be read oGt-
side Of the state. however. by many
who have been misled as to actual con-
ditiOns in Utah and the real attitude of
the church, and viii certainly be pro-
ductive Of good results. 1t may hasten
the day, too. when men win cease TO
discuss pOlygamy in the pulpit or pub
lie pres, when individuals viii be held
apswerable for their own onenses and
an entire state or people win not be
branded with dishonor simply because
IL is alleged that a member Of the COM
munity or a citizen of the state has
committed a misdemeanor.
