Like the soft, faint notes of a gong in a distant Chinese temple comes back to Ogden the dim remembrance of Rev. J. Wesley Ilill of the West the the boy preacher church builder, the university non-construct- or, the clever land In those days, fifteen years ago, Ogden came to greatly dislike Mr. Hill. His ways were not as our ways; and some of his ways (not all of them) were past finding out. He did not like the majority of Utahs people, and yet he enjoyed nay, he even solicited, and if it were not too strong, one might say that he tried to bulldoze, their contributions to the various purposes of his personal and pulpit career. He was fond of moralizing on the insincerity and general guile of other church leaders, and yet he delivered here verbatim, and as his own, a sermon which had been written and uttered years before by T. deWitt Talmage. He came here to convert the Mormons to the gentleness of modern evangelical Christianity, and he adopted as his instrumentality of persuasion a mass of flagrant falsehood and blackguardism so unbecoming to his cloth that some of his parishioners expressed great anxiety that he should leave his church for that churchs good. He wahted to induce Eastern people to buy land sad joining the Methodist university site in Ogden, and yet he drew such an infernal picture of the social conditions here that prospective purchasers were frightened out of their senses but not out of their money. Oh, well, that was a long time ago; and Ogden has fully forgiven his follies and had He was a mere almost forgotton himself. youngster in those days; not as young as he professed to be, but young enough to be easily influenced. It was an intense and bitter time in Utah; and he was naturally so intense as to partake of all the bitterness of his side of that old controversy. Besides, he was for a period in league with Sam Siqall and that was enough to spoil even a better man. Mr. Hill is said to be the present pastor of a church in Harrisburg; and he no doubt greatly changed. His sermon and lecture here on Sunday if they were original indiun-boom- er.

The senator besought them in the name of God and the good repute of their state to deliver the assassin up to legal justice and to let the law take its course. Acting on this moving plea, the mob yielded. The negro was tried, his guilt was incontestably proved. His crime was shown to be to the last degree. wanton and He was condemed to death. And then a lot of morbid fools got in their work; they raised money with which to fight the case; technicalities were interposed; delays were effected and the case was finally carried to Washington on a plea for a writ of error from the supreme court of the United States. The ground upon which that writ was demanded was solely that there were no negroes on the jury which tried and found a verdict of guilty against the assassin. Could absurdity further go? Not unless his lawyers had set up the claim that it was his right to be tried by a jury of murderers, on the ground that such were his peers. Once more, is it any wonder that indignant communities are tempted to resort to lynch- in?? cold-blood- ed IT WAS NOT NICE MONEY.

That will be the generous wish of Ogden in his behalf. In the meantime and just to show us that the old J. Wesley has not entirely vanished he gives out an interview in which he expresses the conclusion, based upon his talks with senators, that Hon. Reed Smoot does not stand a ghost of a show of retaining his seat. And just to show that we have not forgotten the J. Wesley Hill of old, we offer the counter conclusion that not three senators of the United States have ever indicated to Mr. Hill how they will vote in the Smoot TUESDAY, book of fiction. That Japanese officer Delegates from various miners unions throughout the state are in Salt Lake for the opening of the convention of the Utah State Union No. 1, Western Federation of Miners, which opened for a three days' session this morning. A great deal of work has been outlined by the officers of the convention. The extension of the work of the organization will occupy the attention of the delegates during a greater part of the convention. The delegates will also act for their unions as delegates to the State Federation of Labor meeting, which will be called at 8 o'clock this evening at Federation of Labor hall, for the purpose of forming a state organization composed of the various unions in the semi-annu- al state. The call for the meeting of the state federation was issued some time ago by local unionists. It will be the endeavor of the meeting to form a central body for the union movement similar to that which now exists in other who has been telling the Associated Press what his country is going to do to Russia, coyly admits that Japan states. got into this war just fifty years too soon which latter admission casts a slight cloud WOMEN WORKING FOR UNION LABEL upon his former prediction.

Much has been said in reprehension of negro lynchings in the South, and not all the criticism has been undeserved; but here is a case of absurd and inexcusable paltering with the law which is so provoking as to make people think that lynching in this instance might have been partly pardonable: A wretch a negro named Alfred Daniels in North Carolina, assassinated the father of United State Senator Simmons.
