NEIGH. one Of a gang Of Hungarian railroad
laborers employed in the Union Pacific

ing and entering a freight car and stealing

members Of the gang, was found to be
wearing some OF the stolen. shoes, but they
claimed to have purchased them from a
peddler. The only evidence against NEIGH,
in addition to the fact that he was found
wearing a pair Of the stolen shoes, was the
discovery by the oficers Of an old shoe in
the car which had been robbed, which they
tried on NEIGH and found It fitted him per-
fectly even 10 the piece which had been

USURPATIoN FoRESHADoWED.

Our attention has been called to this
sneak paragraph in an obscure part OF
the herarchic organ, the Deseret
News
There is a growing belief in insurance
circles that the next Legislature Will pro-
vide for q fire commission In this city,
the members OF which Will be appointed
by the Governor. the board in turn to
choose the chief OF the department and
make other appointments at present made
by the City Council This will take the
fire department completely out OF politics,
The meaning is that the dominant
church leaders, despairing OF ever
again reducing this city to the position
Of serfdom under the hierarchtc lash
that 1t occupied during the Morris ad-
minlstration. thinks of calling In the
help OF the subservient representatives
OF the servile element in the State at
large to reduce this city to a condition
of yasslage and servitude.
1t Is not to be supposed OF course.

the subjection OF the fire department
to ecclesiastical control 1t would be
just as easy to transfer the city bodily.

board as it Is proposed now. as above.
to take possession for the church of
the fire department.
But If 1t is seriously proposed to
commit this pious rape upon the city,
1t Will be but another notice to the
country at large, and to the whole In
dependent portion of the population of
this State, OF the unscrupulous deter
mination of the hierarchical power to
push It's despotism TO the utmost limit.

programme, automatically carried out,

rebellion against the exercise of civil

thing else could possibly do. For, re-

and traditions OF American freemen. ,

STRIPPING THE UNIFORM.

The National Guard of Utah has been
stripped of It's dignity by a Mormon
Governor at the instance OF a Mormon
Senator TO add some little undeserved
prestige to a church celebration-pre-
tendedly TO honor Lincolns memory
but in reality TO aid In ecclesiastical
purposes
Mr., Smoot has been so accustomed to
holding the sanctity of his religion In
that attitude OF accommodation where 1t
can be thrown aside or taken on at his
pleasure, that he is not conscious Of
the outrage perpetrated upon the feel

see men compelled to doff their uniform

church-wlthout being exposed, he
should promptly revise his Views and

acres OF land to four big Mormon sheep
companies and hts attempts as Hepburn
says, to get l25.O00 acres more for his

MORMON LIQUOR TRAFFIC.

The president OF the quorum of apos-
ties OF the Mormon church has been de-
parting from the usual hierarchical
methods OF reaching arbitrary conclu-
sion and making unreasonable utter
ance. In a grave matter of public con-
Germ, he has taken into account the
statistics and has arrived at deductions
which are not at all In accord with the
usual bigoted anathemas against the
rest of the world.
The city OF Logan, with approximate
ly eight thousand people, has nine
places which sell liquor. Not mere than
five hundred souls In the whole city
are Gentiles; and, as the majority of
these are total abstainers. the distin-
gulshed apostle has reached by infer
ence the conclusion that the Mormon
people must be responsible for the
maintenance OF saloons and liquor dis
pensing drug stores.

Inference IS irresistible that the mem
bers OF his church constitute the sup
port OF the drinking places.

SEVENTY-FIVE CENT GAS.

Mayor Dunno of Chicago Is capturing
TO his support the best thought Of that
great city by insisting that the people
there shall not be made TO pay more
than seventy-f1ye cents per thousand
cubic feet for gas. The City Council
of Chicago wants to fix the maximum
price at eighty-fiye cents. but Mayor
Dunno says that Is too much.
He Is unquestonably right. In these
supplied In n great city like Chicago
for fifty cents. In smaller cities the
charge might fairly be something more
than that. But in this city Messrs,
Snow and Darst amply demonstrated
when they were seeking their franchise
last summer that seventy-flYe cents Is
on ample charge. At the hearing before
the Council committee last week II was
claimed by some of the speakers that
seventy-five cents Is exorbitant here.
Perhaps II is. but we do not see that
cities generally get gas for much less;
most of them pay more.
or course, In this es in modern meth
DDS as to other products, the rule Is to
capitalize the company beyond any
legitimate cost, and then claim that in
order to make anything on the Invest
ment" (swelled by fictitious capitaliza-
tom, and to meet the interest on bonds,
which are usually issued to the full
value OF the plant, besides the swelled
capitalization, the charge must be fixed
at a stated figure. But II there were
no more money to earn returns upon
than had actually been put into the
enterprise, II would usually be the case
that the charge for the product could
be reduced at least one-third. 1t has
been loudly proclaimed that dollar gas
is robbery" and 1t Is. But the time viii
soon come when seventy-flve cent gas
Will also be robbery Still, Salt Lake
City Is bound by It's contract with the
Snow -Darst concern to pay seventy
i've cents for gas for fifty years. But
1t should not raise It's own bid by add
ing ten cents to that ample charge.

A POOR PLAGIARIST

Jack London. the meteoric author, has
annihiated one Of our fond ideas. Look
Ing at Tolstoy and the other sublime
ones who dwell near to nature and who
love mankind as a common brother
hood we have been wont TO think that
the real truth would always come out
of the wilderness. But here Is Mr.. Lon
don, who has been dwelling alone.
amidst the pines, the Ice foes, the sands
OF desert and beach: and he emerges
from his communion with nature a rank
anarchist. Taking him at his word,
some Of the Eastern library boards have
elected his books from their shelves.
but we fancy that they have too much
exaggerated his Importance. No mere
lmitator can be very effective In THE
world. And distinctly Mr., London Is
n pagiarist Of method If not of idea.
He copies after rolstoy and desires to
