AN INTERESTING CASE.

Lawyers for the defense of Meyer,
Haywood and Pettibone, accused of the
murder of Governor Steunenberg. have
raised most interesting question IN
the argument for a habeas corpus be-
fore the supreme court of Idaho at
Boise.
The Colorado men were arrested on
warrant charging them with actual,
personal participation in the murder.
although they were in Colorado when it
occurred; and they were extradited on
a requlsition issued by Governor Good
ing of Idaho, honOred by Governor Nc
Donald of Colorado. The arrests wera
made at a time and under circum-
stances which preclude the possibility
of court interference in Colorado; and
the special train bearing them to Idaho
was arranged to run so legal interfer-
ence en- route would be out of the CUES
ton.
The defendants counsel, in their ha-
beas corpus suit, aver that the arrest
and extradition were based on war
rants which all the officials knew were
false; that the prosecuting attorney in
Idaho who swore. to the warrant, the
goXerpor of Idaho and the governor Of
Colorado. were aware the warrant was
false-in other words, that the arrests
were part of a conspiracy between the
officials Of the two states, and that the
defendants should, therefore, be ie-
leased by the court.
The prosecution contends that the
question of a conspiracy does not
now concern the court; that the prose-
eution is based on indictments returned
since the arrests. and that. since the
prisoners are within the jurisdiction Of
the court, it would be wasting time to
discharge them because they would De

MINING FUTURE.

The Herald's resume of mining ops'-
atoms in Utah and Of the pros )ects for
a great extension of activity presents
solid reasons for the belief that this
state is to be the center Of such stu
pendous undertakings as its most san
guine friends fail to realize.
To begin with, the work already done
has demonstrated beyond question that
the ores are here in such enormous
quantity and OF such profitable values
as TO justify investment of unlimited
capital. In Park City, in Bingham. in
the Tintic district and in other camps,
there is ore enough to warrant mining
on a scale even larger than has char
acterized the mining of Butte, Arizona
and the Lake regions.
The collateral conditions are equally
favorable. The character of the ores
within easy reach, furnishes smelling
combinations of the right sort. Coking
coal deposits within the state remove
any question as to the fuel supply Cor
smelters. Water is to be had with
comparative ease and light outlay.
Power, whether steam or Ell .ctric, is
cheap enough to insure low operating
cost for that factor. The only thing
lacking has been capital enough 10
handle the problem OF operations on a
scale commensu- lta With the extent Of
the ore deposits aa'5 the ot1ar favori Z
conditions.
With the advent of Samuel New
house, the Guggenheims, the United
States company and other operators
that have taken advantage Of condi-
tons, it has been fully demonstrated
that Utah offers exceptional rewards
for capital. 1t has no limitations which
need be considered by men who know
the business. That the opportunities
are becoming known is shown by the
heavy investments being made by {he.
leaders of the mining world and tie
presence in this fell of the heaviest
operators in the United States. Utah
copper properties are favoriTcs in tho
big centers of capital, and the rise i'm
Utah mining stocks is based on pro-
duction and capacity for profits.
Still another factor is contributing to
the states advancement in mining.
Local owners welcome outside capital,
there has been no jealousy or attempt
to monOpolize the field for one group
or combination. The result is a har-
mony and spirit of friendliness in spite
of keen competition, which makes
Utah a most desirable base for develop
ment.

1t deserves here, and that the state e

growth which will place it in the fore

held by the immense federal patronage
at his disposal 1t was pushed unEcru-
puIously by Beveridge, and no effort
was spared to shove it through regard
less of the wishes of the people inter
ested- Its only object was to limit the
number Of representatives in the SEN
ate from the west. and to make it i'm
possible for the Democratic party to
profit by the probable strength it would
have gained from those territories if
they were admitted as states. The
event proved that il was largely a sec
tional fight, and the west lost by mar
row margin due to the detection of
western senators who preferred the
friendship of the administration to the
affections and gratitude of their own
section.
Even so, Arizona Is to be congratu-
lated on the fact that it is not to be
handicapped and burdened by the pro-
posed union with New Mexico Terri
torial conditions are much to be pre-
ferred to such a union. and Arizona is
free to wait for the time when fairness
and justice will give her the separate
statehood to which she is entitled.

FROM THE CHURCH MILITANT
TO A GLORIOUS IMMORTALITY
Rev. Reynod M. Kirby, D. D., by One of His Oldest
and Most Devoted Friends

As he sat In his study chair but the
other night his earth watch stopped !:
bodily, at Pottsdam, N Y, yet spirit
ualiy dwelling in pervasive presence
deep and secure in the hearts OF his
friends, both near and far away.
None were nearer than those in Salt
Lake, TO whom he and his sweet wife
said adieu twenty-four years ago, for
both he and she were made of the royal
metal on which the corrosions of old
time or death make no hall marks.
Now, the mystery which We call
death has brought them once more face
TO face with those in the far-off city of
the plains who still live TO recall the
bitterness, not only to the church but
to the commonwealth of Utah, of that
sad departure years ago.
Thinking as one apart, and yet as one
treasuring q share in Salt Lake, her
history her losses and possessions,
these two people. so gentle, yet so pre-
eminent in ennobling virtues and good
works, are mirrors I'm the magic glass
Of retrospection, even as the sum-
mits of the Wasatch are reflected with
heightened charm in the waters of the
miniature lake at Liberty park.
We struggle yainly against the inev-
liable sadness of the final close of min
istrations which have become our ma
tive element and tempered the atmos-
phere of our spiritual zone. Our sun
seems to have set at midday, and the
chill of a ioyless night threatens TO dis
comfit US.
We are In danger of selfishly forget
ting that the reunions over the great
range counterbalance the losses here,
and bid us cease our complainings of
the transferring Providence OF God.
We grow older and the monotone Of
loss and no replacing becomes fateful:
we are all in transit, but it is only of
those who have made the crossing that
we can believe It,
Following even though at an inter
val. the timely and most deferential
notices of DR.. Kirby appearing in the
Salt lake papers, and especially the
panegyrics of the ever-loyal Judge

Goodwin, I cannot add much to the
sum of the reasons for placing our
vanished brother high in the West
minister of memory. His name ought
10 be on every foundation stone of St.
Marks hospital. He 1t was who pop
ularized the sentiment for materializ-
ing the pioneer hospital OF Utah. Sure
of his ground and then boldly resource
ful in devising the practicable means of
meeting the great necessity, and IN
eeasingly vigilant in keeping those
means in vigorous action, ST. Marks
hospital appeared; and his eo-wOrkers
In the enterprise on both sides the
grave always frankly avow how large
his influence and personality doomed in
the structure which has indeed thrived
ever through its defeats and gained
prestige through the rushing years.
As much may be said of Rowland
hall, which is his other monument, and
is a growing honor to Salt Lake, but
as to the primacy Of the church in that
far land, he felt doubt, although he
was the unlimited choice of bishops and
people for tn t great Office as successor
to the one who was kidnapped by Mis-
souri,. Declining the honor literally
thrust upon him and again for the sec
ond time declining to reconsider his
decision, he turned to his best beloved
companionship, the wisdom of the ages
crystalized in books, and saying ac-
cording to the scripture model his
bishopric let another take" he chose
the simple life, the quiet life, the stu
dents life, yet the life Of never mar
rowing sympathy, always demonstrat-
ing the sacredness of his calling as a
soldier of the cross and fulfilling In
his own attractive and genial way the
beauty of holiness.
Alike are life and death,
When life in death survives,
And the uninterrupted breath
Inspires a thousand lives.
So when a great man dies,
For years beyond our ken,
The light he leaves behind him lies
Upon the hearts of men,"

ONE OF MARK TWAIN's BEST.

/ want to tell you one more story,
the story of the lost opportunity.
Young people don't realize the full
sadness of it, but who of us older peo-
pie doesn't know the pathos of the lost
opportunity? In the village which is
a suburb of New Bedford a friend of
mine took me to the dedication of a
town hall and pointed out to me a
bronzed, weather-beaten old man. over
30 years old.
DO you see any passion In that old

You don't; we'll, but i can make
him a perfect volcano to you. I'll just

Well, that old man suddenly gave
vent to an outburst of profanity such
as I had never heard before in my life.
I listened to him with that delight
with which one listens TO an artist.
The cause of it was this: When that
old man was a young sailor he came
back from q. three-year cruise and
found the whole town had taken the
pledge. He hadn't, so he was ostra-
cized. Finally he made up his mind
he couldn't stand ostracism any long
tr, and he went to the secretary and
said: Put my name down for that
temperance society Of yours" Next
day he left on another three-year
cruise 1t was torture to him TO watch
his men drinking and he pledged not
to. Finally he got home.
He got jug of good stuff, ran TO
the society and said: Take my name
right off,"
