RELIC OF BARBARISM.

In writing this article it is not
NV intention to unjustly criticise
public authorities, nor would like
to create the impression that [
am meddler.
How often have we heard the
expression: "Give the devil his
due" And he desires it, even
though he be impersonated in a
poor negro convict. He who
rises from his scant pallet. ere
the sun has risen, and until
night-fall he is driven to the
hardest tasks at the point of a
lash in the hands Of an inhuman
convict guard" "who adds to the
lash, and salt so vile as to cause
the imps OF the pit to turn green
with jealousy.
Have you even heard the rat
tie of a convicts shackle chain as
he answers the summons, does
the bidding Of his driver: If so,
YOU have noticed that the chain
does not have the regular clank,
clank. but it rather and jerks,
because he who is so unfortunate
as to have to bear the daily bur
den, tries to walk so fast, that it
makes him so nervous that he
can hardly control his muscles.
To see how our convicts are
treated, is enough to make the
hardest heart turn sick.
If you ever have the opportunl-
ty, stop a few minutes and see
the convicts at work.
He bends and buckles to his
task with feverish haste, while
the guard stands over him, and
seems to gloat when he can find
any excuse to reprimand.
It is pitiful to see one of these
poor unfortunates doing his
very best and trying so hard to
please, 7 say it is pitiful to see
the guard lash him unmercifully
and curse him vilely. The mig
ger" will not for an instant stop
work, he has long since learned
vince, without allowing his
shovel OF pick to miss a single
lick. The only sign he shows is
a contraction of the muscles Of
the face and the drawing in of
his back.
1t is impossible for him to
work any faster or any better
and it seems that any body with
and humanity will know it.
We know that a negro convict
has to be dealt with severely,
but then there is moderation in
all things. We are living in an
age of enlightment, and it does
seem out of place for acts of
barbarism to be committed on our
public roads. There is a society
for the prevention of cruelty to
animals, and we think they could
find a large field Of operation If
the treatment of our convicts
will be examined into.

leaders believe that the Smoot case
will furnish the great test whether or
not the hierarchy of the Mormons can
hope to participate actively in pol.
itics.
Behind the election of Smoot to the

is known, however, to pertain to po'

tension of the influence of the saints.
The bonds that will be redeemed
within a few DAYS are relics Of more
than five years ago. In defending the
numerous prosecutions for polygamy
brought under. the Edmunds-Tucker
act, and in other troubles, such as the
government confiscation of church
property, the treasury Of the saints
was badly depleted. Although these
funds were subsequently returned con-
ditionally, an immense loss occurred
in the interim. The church was heav-
lily in debt and money was borrowed
at high rate of interest.
Money From Tithes.
Lorenzo Snow, at that time presi.
dent of the church, an able f1nancier,
succeeded In refundlng the debt on a
6 per cent basis. That was five years
ago. Since that time the Mormons
have accumulated wealth, partly from
the tithing system, which obliges ev,
cry member to give one tenth of his
gross income to the church, and part
ly through the prosperity caused by
the influx of gentiles into Utah.

CAR AND LOCOMOTIVE BUILDING
Over 10000 Cars Built In 1eo3-over
5000 Engines.

The Railroad Gazette gives the fol.
lowing statistics of car and locomotive
building during the last year:
Official returns from practically all
the car building plants in the country
show that 154,SOS cars have been built
during the year 1908. OF this total
figure approximately 152,S01 are
freight cars and 2007 passenger
coaches; 1884, for domestic and 1913
for export. Last year the total mum.
Der of cars built was 164.547.
During the year 5152 locomotives
were built at the various works in
the country as against 1910 last year.
The number includes SO electric loco
motives. The increase over 1902 is
the largest of any one year, and posi-.
bly, is due to the fact that the loco
motive works of the country had such
volume of orders placed during 1902
that they were unable to make imme-
date deliveries, and many of the or
ders were held over till 1908. At an
average cost of the locomotives of
$4,000, the total amount spent by
the railroads for motive power would
be approximately s62.000,000. This
figure does not include the locomo-
tives which were built yearly by the
railroad companies at their own shops.
