Wife Of Chief Frustrated.
Marshal Horan was married six years
ago. He was the father of four chill
dren. the youngest of whom is aged 2
years. Word OF his death was kept
from Mrs. Horan by the firemen, who
notified her by telephone that he had
met with an accident. Later 1t became
evident that the chief was surely dead
and that 1t would be better to let her
know the truth. Mrs Horan swooned
in her Ashland boulevard home and
was unable further to continue con-
versation.

We commend this example of an
alien people to the leading prophets,
seers, revelators, and priests, especially
the MeIchisedeks of the Mormon
church, here I'm Utah. Under their au-
thority, aud often by their direct con
nivancc and participation, criminal
statute of this State is being scandal
ously violated. Instead of taking the
violators of the law and turning
them over TO the law TO answer for
their crimes, these Mormon leaders
shield, protect. aud even give special
marks of their favor to those violators,
These priests thus put themselves on
a distinctly lower scale of citizenship

BUSINESS AND TRADE.

The sultry weather has brought on
the usual summer quiet in finance and
general business. Still, the building
activity IN the city keeps up in splen
did form. and there is a large business
doing by the resorts and in the way
of summer outings,
The real estate market is rather dull,
but this was to be expected at this sea-
son. Realty is firmly held, however,
and transfers are fair.
The conditions of general trade in
tho city are gauged by the bank clear
auces, which show a gain for the past
week of 21.4 per cent, compared with
the corresponding week last year. This
is certainly satisfactory showing,
and one that speaks we'll for the
strength of Salt Lakes growth In
population and business. The mer~
chants are carrying larger stocks than
ever before; the immediate occupancy
of all the new structures demonstrates
conclusively the growth of the city in
population, and altogether, while it is
true that the summer lethargy is in
evitable here as elsewhere, it is also
truo that Salt Lake City stands that
lethargy better than other cities, just

MoCKING UTAH'S SENATORS.

Senator Newlands of Nevada was
hard hearted enough TO attack the Utah
Senators, on Friday last, for going back
on their professed desire to have an ef-
fectivc long and short haul clause in
the railroad bill. Senator Hepburn
ironically said that the Utah Senators
thought they had planted an orange
tree, but when they come to pluck the
fruit they found that it was lemons.
And all the time the Utah Senators
seemed unable to defend themselves,
to explain their position, or to make
any showing Of consistency or of faith
fulness to the people they are supposed
to represent.
Senator Newlands sharply charged
the Utah Senators with descrtion of
their people and of their principles on
this long and short haul clause, and he
appealed to them to support tho move
mcnt that would give the relief to the
people of this anterior region that they
had professed to seek. The Utah men,
however, refused, aud Sutherland en-
tered into long.winded, silly sort of
argument to show that what he was do
ing was legal and would probably be
sustained by the courts, But Suther,
land IS opinions on matters of this kind
have very small value.
The protestations of Senators like
Hepburn, Newlands, and Clay, that the
the clause as passed is a betrayal raise
grave doubts as to the efficacy of the
proposed long and short haul clause Of
this compromise railroad bill, as finally
framed. But what the people of all this
region want is an effective prohibition
against railroads charging more for a
haul to the coast than for haul to this
| point, or to other points in the interior
situated like this. Unless we can have
provision of that kind that is effect
i've; there is no use in bothering about
the clause at all,
The readiness with which Aldrich and
other corporation Senators accepted this
clause as framed, raises suspicion
against it, and Aldrich's sinister re.
mark that "he laughs best who laughs
last,' cited by Senator Borah. may
have multiplying import which sup
porters Of the bill have overlooked.
1t is no Joy to the people Of Utah to
have their Senators mocked in the Sen
ate for their smallness of caliber aud
their weakness of action; but as long
as such men are sent from our State
so long as we yield to the sinister in
fluences which have put them where
they are, VIC cannot help ourselves, anG
have no Just cause Of complaint against
the Senators from other States who are

COMFORTABLY POLYGAMY.

Walter G., Lyman is resident of
in Mancos, Colorado Walter is presi-
dent of the San Juan stake (besides
being a brother of Francis NJ. Lyman,
president of the twelve apostles of the
Mormon church) and William is his
first counselor. In Mancos also lives
George Halls, who is bishop of that lit
tie ward and brother Of William.
Now, Walter c, Lyman looked upon
Lucy, the daughter Of William Halls,
and in his eyes she was a fit "hand-
maiden to the priesthood. - This was
but about six years ago, and it is a
little less than that time Since Presi-
dent Lyman hied himself from Grayson.
Utah, into Maneos, Colo. There he
sought Lucy at the home of his first
counselor. William Halls. Having found
the girl, and received the "God bless
you, my children, - from William Halls,
Walter C. Lyman and the girl ''visi-
ted" with Bishop George Halls for the
evening. Obedient as could be, the
pious bishop tied tho nuptial knot that
made Lucy the plural wife of Walter.
Sometimes Lucy (since the crime was
committed) has lived in Salt Lake, and
Mt others she has abided with rela-
tiyes in Huntsville, Utah; but all the
time Walter C. Lyman has been pres
dent of the San Juan stake of Zion.
Just now, it is said, since The Trib-
une's exposure Of the case has brought
no punishment to Lyman, neither
through the church nor through the law,
Lucy has gone back to Mancos to live,
where female citizen of one State re-
ceiyes frequent and affectionate visits

venient, as one may see; and also keeps

This condition of affairs has evident

the Government has bestired itself TO
do something for the settlers who have
taken public lands under Government
pledge of sufficient water supply.
TIE Secretary Of the Interior has
notified the settlers and those IN charge

lt is a pretty hard proposition. Those
SETTLERS have been there struggling
along for four or five years in the hope
of getting IN ample water supply for

bad faith The settlers seem TO be
getting the worse of it on every hand,
and a good many Of them are getting
thoroughly discouraged with the idea
of having the Government take n hand
in this reclamation business in any
form.
And still, so dense is Congress, so
oblivious to the promises to the settlers
whom it has invited to take land under
these reclamation projects, that large
numbers of both Senators and Repre-.
sentativcs are up in arms against doing

MIR. RoosEvELT's RETURN.

The welcome TO Mr.. Roosevelt on his
arrival in New York was something
Istupcndous. The New Workers could
not have done more or better if Roose.
welt had been Emperor Of America,
Everything was on tho uproarlous style.
The crowd was tremendous. the cheers
vociferous. the clamor By steum
whistles, the roar of big guns of bat
tleships and land forts, the magnificent
parade, all was of the most spectacular
and imperialistc order. Mr.. Roosevelt
apparently can do what he likes IN
approval. Let MS hope, therefore, that
he will not incline to be the "man ON
horseback the suhvcrter Of popular
institutions in favor of personal rule,
The brief speech delivered by Mr.
Roosevelt was modest, unassuming, ap-
propriate. He enjoyed the dcmonstra
,iou, evidently, most kcenly, and he
appeared anxious 10 let every one know
that he was pleased and also to let
every ore understand that he has been
enjoying himself all the time wherever
he mas been. OF that there is probably
no question, and no one will begrudge
him the least enjoyment he has had.
The dispatches yesterday morning,
however, indicated that Mr.. Roosevelt
has set himself task of such stupcn
dous proportions that the American peo-
pie may well bo amazed and incredu-
lous 1t was stated as an irrevcrsIble
decree, one which, as the laws of the
Medcs and Pcrsians, changeth not, that
Mr. Roosevelt would maintain silence
for two months, that he will not speak
during that time, and that his first
public utterance will he at the John
Brown celebration in Kansas. then at
the Cheyenne frontier gathering, and
then at the National Conservation Con-
gress in st. Paul, with the saving
clause, "and possibly at one or two
other places, -
This programme of silence on Mr..
Roosevelt s part may, as suggested the
other day, cause some anxiety for his
health. But we are inclined TO think,
on the whole, that his his health viii
suffer more by the proposed repression
than by speaking right out. But
whether it is Il question of health or
merely Of inclination, undoubtedly the
task Of remaining silent for two months
and not even speaking to a reporter
since he has given notice that any al
legged interview with him Will be
fake-must unquestionably provo the
ordeal of his life. 1t was religious
observance of the knights of olden
time to pass nightlong vigil before
the altar IN some Christian church.
That was supposed to be something of
a trial; but what is a vigil Of one night
long to an armed knight, compared with
q repression of speech for two whole
mouths TO Mr.. Roosevelt? He was re-
ported TO be somewhat thin and worn
when he came out Of the wilds of Afri-
ca. We are inclined to think that if
he holds fast TO his ordeal of two
months silence, he Will be even thinner
and more worn after the expiration of
that two months.
But We are all glad to welcome Mr..
Roosevelt back home in good health and
spirits. Every one Of us trusts that he
may be spared many years to his coun-
try, in vigor and health. He is our
greatest and most spectacular citizen;
and long may he remain so in full vigor,
both of body and of mind.

Sea Flight Between the Alabama and
Kearsarge.
The depredations made by the Ala
bama under Captain Raphael Semmes
during the civil war, upon merchant ves-
sells flying the United States flag, were
so extensive that that vessel came TO be
known as "thc scourEe oil the seas" as
we'll as came near bringing serious COM
plications between England and America.
These sea deVastationS were brought to
an end on June 10, 1864. when the en-
