OBSERVE THE LAW !!

The Provo Enquirer complains of IL
legal voting at the recent election In
that city, and says:
"The law provides for the election OF
two councIlmen from each municipal
ward II also provides that the people
Of each ward shall choose their own
councilmanlc representatives. The law
does not contemplate that people out
side Of the ward shall have anything
10 do with the choosing OF members of
the city council other than those put
up from their own ward Persons,
therefore who may otherwise be quail
fled voters, who go outside OF their own
ward and vote for councilmen of an-
other ward. commit an unlawful act,
and their ballots should not be per-
mitted to affect the result OF an cleo
ton FOR such candidates
That is how we understand the intent
of the law and also It's letter, If the
statutes are not sufficiently clear on
this important question, amendments
should be made by the Legislature at
It's next session to set all disputes con-
corning 1t at rest Neither by design
nor through ignorance should ballots
be cast, or counted il cast. that are
not lawful in every sense of the term,
no matter which party or candidate is
affected thereby The election laws
should be observed and also enforced

TWO pRETENDERS.

The grotesque mission" to New York
by the Dowie hosts Is finished and It
Ia but natural that the question as to
results IL asked According TO an item
in the New York World, at the final
meeting hfty-slx persons came forward
to be baptized OF these twenty-six
were women, twenty-five men and five
children. There were six colored people
in the crowd The large majority OF
women. It Is claimed, were "zionites'
who had come to New York with the
host" and at least three OF the chill
dren were from Dowie's Zion" The
writer in the World thinks that there
were not a dozen New York recruits.
THAT is a poor showing for the
amount OF energy expended upon the
crusade. II ever there was an In
stance OF the mountain loborlng TO
bring forth a mouse this was one, And
yet, the strange part OF this episode is,
that the Chicago claimant should find
as much as one sane person willing to
accept his claims,
Dowle is remarkable illustration OF
the fact that majority Of people pre-
fer to submit to somebody's authority,
They prefer TO have someone to do their
thinking and their planning. They are
children in this respect, no matter how
much they clamor for independence and
freedom Il Is natural for the chill
dren Of men to follow somebody's lead.
And so true Is this, that II they dis
card truth, they viii invariably follow
error; II they rebel against the divine
authority, they will submit to the au-
thority OF the father Of deceit.
Many Of those who rejected the
true Messiah and caused Him TO
be nailed to the cross, blindly followed
the pretenders that led them to death.
Such is human nature The desire for

A PALPABLE ERROR.

We notice In the local papers repeat
sum Of money, to take am appeal in
murder case to the Supreme Court of
the United States II is stated In such
manner as to create the impression
among people who are not posted that
the question of the right to such appeal
turns on the cost, and that II the sum
OF eighteen hundred dollars is forth
coming the appeal can be taken.
This Is clearly an error. Ordinarily
there is no appeal from the decision of
the highest court OF State in the
Union, IN any criminal case In which
the laws OF that state have been vio-
lated. If convict charged with muir
der who has exhausted all the appellate
jurisdiction of the State I'm which he
has been condemned, could appeal to
the Supreme Court OF the nation. that
body would have sufficient work on it's
hands to employ its entire time and
energies. 1t must be evident that only
when some constitutional question Is
involved, under the Supreme law of
the land can an appeal be had to
the national court Of last resort"
When such an appeal win lie, there
is no fixed sum on which that appeal is
dependent. or course there are ex-
penses to be met in the conduct of the
case including court fees, etc. but the
notion that II the sum mentioned can
be obtained the appeal can be had, Is
entirely wrong and misleading.
In the particular case under consd-
GRAFTON II would seem that the move-
ment would be simply matter OF fur
ther delay That however would turn
on the determination OF the highest
court to hear 1t at all, on that point OF
course we hazard no opinion as we do
not wish to throw any discourage
ment upon the effort to give the con-
demned offender the full protection
provided by the law we merely desire
to correct very evident but prevalent
mistake,

DEAD DID NOT HEAR.

a peculiar story comes from Eureka.
Cal 1t seems that there are. in that
| place, some religious people whose zeal
is more conspicuous than their knowl
| edge. They are said to belong to the
| Pnlel mission. One OF the members of
| that mission, so the story runs, died a
few days ago, The funeral was held
in due time but when the casket had
been lowered into its last resting place
four women stepped to the edge of the
grave and ordered the box lifted out
again, When this was done, the un-
dertaker was asked TO raise the lid,
and then the women knelt down and
commanded the dead to rise. Three
times they called, Alice, arise"
When there was no response, one Of the
women called upon the Lord to raise
the dead, saying that His honor and
character Were at stake, as He had
promised that the dead woman should
be brought to life. Fanatc but inef-
fectual attempts We're then made to
have the coffin lid taken entirely off,
so that the dead might arise, but the
box was finally closed asaln and low
cred into the grave.
The conduct Of these, no doubt excel
lent women. at the grave Of their friend
is but an illustration of the strange
Ignorance that regards prayer as kind
Of 'abrakadabra" by which natural
laws can be reversed. and the very gov
eminent OF God overrued. But there
is no such mystic force in prayer. Even
In the days OF Elijah and Jesus, when
some We're raised from the dead, peo-
pie became sick and died. Prayer did
not abolish the general law, TO which
all nature is subject. Though mira
Giles" abound on every hand. the events
that are generally 80 termed are few.
They are always performed for
some good and sufficient purpose;
never to satisfy curiosity, or for any
selfish purposes. 1t was Tyndall who
thought that the efficacy Of prayer
might be tested I'm the hospitals, He
suggested that II prayers We're offered
for the recovery of patients in certain
hospitals, and those patients were
found to prosper no better than the pa
tents in other hospitals not thus spec
tally prayed for, the result would DEM
onstrate the inealcacy of prayer. But
II would not because the blessings Of
the Almighty are showered over all, as
the rain and the sunshine. But for all
that, those who pray know the power
of prayer They need no argument for,
and are affected by none against The
old sage had correct conception
on this subject, when he said: Pray
TO God at the beginning of all thy
works, that thou mayest bring them to
good ending" Luther had expert
enced that a good prayer was the best
preparation for work. Lincoln, when
overwhelmed by sense of his own
weakness prayed, because he felt he
could do nothing better and one lady
IL quoted as having said; Il have lived
to thank God that all my prayers have
not been answered" These are correct
conceptions Of prayer No one prays
without becoming better thereby and,
consequently. more able to do good
within the sphere Of his or her mission.
And that Is the great object of prayer,

NEW RELIGIOUS METHODS.

The failure In many OF the sectarlan
churches to attract a congregation, has
prompted some OF the preachers and
pastors to adopt peculiar methods to
arouse public interest and draw audi
ences. Ncwfangled doctrines, the in
corporation OF rationallstic. soclalistic
and transcentalic notions into religious
ethics and philosophy failing IN some
OF the pulpits where they have been
tried. materialistic plans aud practices
have been advanced with more or less
temporary success The most novel OF
the latter class Of church experiments
is thus described in an exchange;
THE Tonawanda minister who gave
away green trading stamps to every
person attending his Sunday evening
service, has been fairly eclipsed in the
matter OF drawing attractions by the
Rev, John Boyd, pastor Of the First
Presbyterian church Of Evanston. IN.
Mr.. Boyd has tried various expedlents,
such as sensational topics, fine singing,
etc, In vain Consequently n new plan

The Boyd plan is suggested to
Bishop Fowler OF the NJ. b. church as
an aid to the "2xi preachers" whom he

convert the "Mormons" and to make a
success, anyhow. Perhaps brass band

from the general fund would be needed
for expenses, and that is what the rev.

THEODOR MOMMSEN.
Cleveland Plnln Dealer

Prof Theodor Mommsen, whose death
Is reported from Berlin, was the great
est historian Of his time and much be-
sides. His learning was most profound,
his critical insight of the keenes,. his
style most lucid, his literary output
enormous, but from the beginning TO
the end Of his long career he never
ceased to take an active interest and to
play strenuous part IN his country's
politics. He was a liberal of such radi-
cal tendencies that he did not hesitate
to say, just before the recent general
election, that the Socialist party con-
tained all that was respectable or pa
triotlc in German politics.

Brains Ahead of Money.

Francis Bellamy, in a magazine ar
ticle, declines to indorse the view that
"while brains may be more important
than money, the best way to convince
the world that you have brains is to
make money" This idea was enun-
ciated some months ago by distin-
guished lawyer, but Mr.. Bellamy
points out that there has always been
a select few who put brains ahead of
money. For instance, there was Agas-
siz, who refused to lecture at $500 a
night because he was too busy to make
money. Charles Sumner declined to
lecture at any price because, he said,
as senator, all his time belonged to
Massachusetts. Spurgeon refused to
come to America to deliver fifty lee
lures at 81, 900 night, saying he could
do better-he could stay in London
and try to save fifty souls. Emerson
steadfastly declined to increase his
income beyond $1,000 because he
wanted his time to think.

Farmer M'Farland's Hard Luck With Hogs.
William Mcfarland, a wealthy Wa
bash couny (Ill.) farmer lost drove
of fifty fine blooded hogs few days
ago in most peculiar manner.
Though the story may sound some
what ''tishy" it is nevertheless true,
and vouched for by any number of his
neighbors.
Some time ago Mr.. Mcfarland lost
his voice, and he was unable to call
his great drove of hogs, in which he
took great pride, but he bridged over
the difficulty by training them to re-
spond at feeding time to his pounding
on a board.
In time they became thoroughly &C.
customed to this call, and whenever
they heard the sound would race tow
ard it as if their life depended upon
getting there first. Running short of
corn few days ago, Mr.. Mcfarland
thought to economic by putting his
hogs in a woods pasture where they
could shift for themselves. Unfortu-
nately the pasture was full of dead
trees, and in consequence woodpeckers
were correspondingly thick. He had
scarcely turned his back on the hogs,
after turning them into the pasture,
till an old red-head on the far side be-
gan drumming on a tree.
Being hungry for corn and recogniz-
ing in it the old familiar call, the
hogs with one accord raced for that
locality. They had no more than ar
rived at the place indicated and dis
covered there was no corn in sight till
they heard the call again, but far
away in another direction. Away the
hogs raced again, only to be once
more disappointed, and once more to
hear the call from affair off. The day
was rather warm, and those hogs
chased the woodpeckers back and
forth across the field till the last one
dropped dead from heat and exhaus-
ton.
Mr.. Mcfarland priced the stock
highly and the hogs will be hard to
replace.-St. Louis Globe-Democrat.

CHURIAN TREATY AND GETS
KOREAN CONCESSION,

Paris, Dec. 2.-Japan and Russia
are on the verge of a settlement Of
the far Eastern controversy which
promises to dissipate the war cloud
that has been hanging over both
countries. This settlement will be
the result of the negotiations which
nave been in progress for some time
past and which were assisted by the
friendly representations of France to
Russia and of Great Britain to .Japan
The two nations have practically
agreed upon the basis of a treaty. the
signing of which can be prevented
only by some unexpected development
The basis of this Forthcoming. agree.
ment follows:
Russia will accept the two agree
ments entered into by Japan and
Korea, dated 1896 and 1898 respective
1y, under which Japan secured various
rights in Korea, including the main
tenance of garrison at Seoul. In ex-
change for this concession Japan will
accept Russia's treaty with China
respecting Manchuria.
1t is belleved-though this cannot be
stated as positive-that Japan and
Russia will reiterate their support of
the principles of the ''open door" and
the integrity of China and of Korea.
IN diplomatic and official circles
here considerable qualification is ex-
pressed at the satisfactory stage upon
which the negotiations between Rus
STA and Japan have now entered.
