THE COMING YACHT RACE.

The impression seems TO be prevail
ing back east that the Americas cup
this year in all probability will be
carried back to England The Column
bla, which again has been selected as
the defender, did remarkably good SER
vice In 1899, In the first race, with
light breeze, she came in 10 minutes
and seconds ahead OF the competitor,
and In the third race, when there was
strong wind, she won by minutes
and "a seconds. But since then Sir
Thomas Upton has had boat con-
structed which has been demonstrated
to be superior in speed to his first
Shamrock, by from to 10 minutes in
thirty miles
whether the Columbia can maintain
her speed Of two years ago remains TO
be seen. She is said to be in perfect
condition now, but even II she is, the
race will be very close and correspond
ingly exciting.
Every patriotic American hopes that
the coveted trophy viii stii remain
on this side OF the ocean, but II Sir
Upton this time carries II of, there
Will be very little regret in sporting
circles. The better boat Is entitled
10 the prize, and II Upton Is the
possessor Of the boat he will be as
cordially congratulated by his numer-
Gus friends here as by those on the
other side.
II the cup this time Is taken across
the water, the roles win be reversed.
American sportsmen will tax their
ingenuity and build boats to surpass
IN speed any so far constructed. New
ideas in ship building VIII receive tan
gible form, and some OF them will no
doubt be Of practical value This coun-
try has led in this line, and VIII con-
tlnue to do so. II Sir Thomas takes the
cup, he does so with a boat construct
ed or lines OF distinctly American orr
sin, so whichever way the race goes.
II is, in one respect an American vic
tory,

Thus deliberate plotter against the
life of a fellow-ereature who does not
succeed IN his murderous design and
acts, may escape with i've years i'm
prisonment, and even with but one
years II he makes his assault with a
deadly weapon And the maximum
penalty in any event II his victim does
not die, is but twenty years imprlson-
ment There should be discretion with
the Judge In such cases. perhaps, but
life imprisonment at least should be
possible.
II the creature that assaled the Pres
ident escapes the death penalty through
the recovery Of his victim he can only
be imprisoned seven years, II Is said,
Cor he must be tried in the State and
county whore the terrible crime was
attempted. 1t would seem that such an
offense as his should be made capital.
But even n that were effected, the law
would not apply In his case for that
would be retroactive.
II has been suggested by high legal
authority. that attempts on the life OF
the President Of the United states may
be classed as treason. But thoughtful
consideration Of this point viii not sup
port It, in our opinion Laws to be valid
must be constitutional. The Constitu-
ton defines treason In terms that can
scarcely be misunderstood II is levy
Ing war against the United states or
ndhering to their enemies, giving them
aid and comfort or course an attack
on the person Of the President is In one
sense an assault upon the nation. But
It is not Of the kind evidently intended
10 be Chased as treason by the Con-
stitutlon.
We think that laws can be enacted by
the respective States and perhaps by
the Congress, which viii bring organ
izations that promote ASSASSINATION, or
the destruction Of government under
the head OF conspiracies against life
and law; and membership in such So
cietles may be made criminal and pun
ishable by severe penalties, Every ma
tion and government may and should
protect itself and the lives OF its pub
lie servants and representatives,. Fail
ure TO do this is manifest weakness.
There may come some good out Of the
evil In the awful rrifne committed in
the attack on the President Attention
will be directed TO the necessity Of
providing proper safeguards around
our Chief Magistrate on all occasions,
and also of devising means for the
roofing out and suppression Of all or
CARNATIONS, that seek to destroy life
and property and governments insll-
tuted for their protection.

HOPE INCREASES.

The great supense in which the peo-
pie Of this nation, and indeed the best
Of all the nations, have been held since
the attempt was made on the life OF
our beloved President, has been some
what relieved by the reports from his
physicians Of the favorable symptoms
In his case. Anxiety must yet be felt,
and this will continue until Il shall be
definitely announced that he Is out OF
danger. There never was more unity
OF feeling among the people az any ma
ton than that which animates the peo-
pie Of the United States on this mo-
mentous occasion. The sorrow which
wells up In the heart Of men and wo-
men of every shade of belief and opln-
Ion at the sufferlngs Of the President
and his patient wife, is supplemented
by universal prayers In his behalf.
Even the most skeptical as to Divine
interposition In the affairs Of men, can
not refrain from fervent CALCULATIONS
showing their Utmost desires and hopes
and invocations, Surely the faith and
supplicatlons OF united people will
prevail, and our President be spared to
complete his life's labors, unless the
Almighty has otherwise decreed, either
for the chastisement OF the nation or
the accomplishment of designs as yet
hidden from human view Hope bright
ems the outlook and every message over
the wires lights up the prospect; and
we earnestly trust that no dark and
ominous cloud may obscure the bright
ness OF our desires. God save the Pre-
sidenti

WHAT OUGHT TO BE DONE.

The lntimation by a professed minis

dispatches, that he would favor lynch

rather than Judgment. II he had been

murder, although the crime would have
been paillated because committed In the

THE STAKE CONFERENCE.

The conference Of the Salt Lake
Stake OF Zion, held on Sunday, showed
the beneficial effects Of the change by
which three meetings were held on
that day, instead Of hayino two on
Saturday and two on Sunday Condi-
tions In this Stake Of Zion are some
what different TO those existing In other
Stakes. The people in this city are, In
q large majority, engaged IN oocupa-
lions which prevent their attendance
at meetings on Saturday and TO some
extent on Monday. Therefore, the at
tendance. except on the Sabbath, has
been somewhat meager In past times.
Yesterday the Assembly Hall was well
filled In the morning and so was the
Tabernacle in the afternoon and EVEN
Ing
There was most excellent spirit
during all these sessions The instruc-
lions were practical, and II carried into
effect will prove greatly beneficial 10
the people OF this Stake. The assem-
bly, in the afternoon was highly grau'
fled and edited by the remarks Of Pres
ident Lorenzo Snow, which We publish
IN full this evening. The vigor and
strength Of voice he exhibited were very
remarkable, and the sentiments he ex-
pressed concerning the attack on the
President OF the United States found
a cordial response In every breast.
The discourse delivered by Apostle
Rudger Clawson In the morning was
also OF great moment, and as 1t was re-
ported in full will probably be published
at a later date The prospects of this
Stake are excellent and we believe Will
