' - ; ' TT : Jugigo case so long deferred be ad-vanced and set down for a special bear-ing, counsel claiming that tbeKemmler case was not scientifically successful, and that electrical execution is im-proper. If there is such a tbing as ad-vancing a case in the supreme court, it would certainly be wisf to hasten the decision of this one, and l ave the mat-ter settled once for all. The electrical execution law is once more the subject of litigation, while sentenced murderers, immured in their living tombs, are awaiting in dreadful suspense the decision of society. In the supreme court of the United States motion was made to secure final action on the question of the law's constitu- - tionality. It was moved that the ' IN SIGHT.

Vote for a representative to congress that will truly represent us. Caine during more than four terms has done nothing except to cast reflection upon us. A people that will send a nonen-tity to Washington must be judged to be satisfied with a nonentity. Is that our case? Does that truly illustrate our condition? Let the busy thousands in the cities and in the mines make an emphatic answer thereto. This is no longer the Utah of a theocracy; but the new Utah clamoring for the rights and privileges of American citizenship, for the rights and privileges of life, liberty and the pursuit of- - happiness. No people owned by a priesthood and mortgaged to a church can claim these. THE SALT LAKE TIMES.

Dolegate Caine gives it out cold that he expects to get a majority of 5000 in the election next Tuesday. Two years ago, without practically any effort, he received a majority of 6043. Thus, by the confession of Mr. Caine himself, he i in a state of beautiful decline, and when a man reaches that point, none can tell how soon be may collapse entirely. ' , Let it be remembered, however, that Mr. Cuine is just now dealing largely in bluff. His figures are calculated to inspire the faithful and discourage the Liberals. They will fall short of the latter mark. As a rule, when a heavy vote is polled at an election, as will be the case next Tuesday, the majority party is the gainer, and where the in-crease in population is considerable, as it is in Utah, it should be markedly so. Instead of that, the church candidate makes a confession of his weakness by allowing a heavy falling off on his side of the ledger. Of course his confession contains only part of the truth, and if the Liberal party does its duty, Mr. Caine's calculation will be knocked into a cocked hat before the moon rises on the 4th of November. In view of the conceded decrepitude of the church party, is it not worth while for all the friends df progress rallying around the Liberal banner to make a supreme effort to sustain its candidate? Judging from past elec-tions, the church will muster its force in full and whip the wavering into the ranks. Persuasion, threats and more substantial arguments will be used to swell the vote. So complete is the organization and control of the church that it can turn out every one of its ad-herents. In the local elections this year fully ninety-fiv- e per cent of its con-tingent appeared at the polls, while the Liberal party,- - notwithstanding the momentous issues at stake, mustered barely seventy-five- . Don't let us be re-miss this time. If the church party can influence its members through ways that are dark and means that are odious, why should the American citi-zen, prompted as he is by a high princi-ple, not do his duty, too, and see that bis neighbors do it as well? In unity there is strength." Mr. Caine concedes his majority is dwindling down. Let us surprise him in the extent to which it has dwindled. We can do it if we will. e Courtship, Hearts cannot tlways be taken by storm. Wooing may be too hasty and precipitate as well as too slow. A man who offers himself to a woman before he has made Bure of her affections is very liable to receive "no" for an answer, when, with a little delay and assiduity combined, he might have made it "yes." There is an instinctive pride in woman which makes her rebel against the idea of being too quickly and too easily wen. She naturally thinks he must hold her love cheap who supposes it may be bad by a comparative stranger for the mere asking. Even in the case of mutual love at first sight she does not willingly forego the pleasures of the delightful period of courtship. The wild bird wooes his mate with long and melliflu-ous song, and woman feels it her right to exact homage before marriage. New York Ledger.

Fighting to avert the wages of iniquity and crime is fight! ng an infamy, according to the Standard of Polygamy, and the man engaging in this tight is a hero.

' TwKcityts doing more to educate tne classes, so that they may become capable and intelligent helpers when they are called to work for themselves, than all the schools of domestic economy which have ever been organized. There has been with the growth of wealth a growth pf distrust of the rich among those who fill up the ranks of labor. It is only by going among the very poor, as these brave women have done, that they can be won back to the right and more wholesome way of thinking and of living. New York Tribun Thb Salt Lake Times exhibits signs of fraternal distress because Ogden's chamber of commerce refuses to take a rest.

Lunacy is a royal malady. The . Ogden Standard of Polygamy says The Times "has been convicted of stealing editorials again." Indeed? It is probably unnecessary to say that the Standard of Polygamy has not been convicted of lying again. It stands perpetually convicted of that orime. It is its second nature, polygamy ooming first. If the Standard will name the editorial stolen again, or at any time, The Times will rise up and call it de-cent. I Bewabe of widows. Even a lawyer I was taken in by one in Pittsburg.

President Adams of the Union Pacific continues to talk and he continues like-wise to make himself ridiculous. In his latest effusion ho uses the following lan-guage: The Union Pacific has sustained great loss of traffic and Income ot late because of the fact that the eastern machine shops are so crowded that thoy cannot fill orders for new equipment. Had the road been able to eecure the motive power and equipment ordered six months ago, it would have earned in October upwards of jG,(WO,000 in traffic. The traffic ready for It to hundle today is SO per cent, in excess of Its ca-pacity. Now the fact of the matter is that prior to Mr. Adams' administration the Union Pacific was not compelled to de-pend on eastorn machine shops for its supplies. It had faoilities of its own to manufacture almost everything needed for the equipment of a railroad. Since Mr. Adams became president the old shops have been neglected. Instead of introducing modern machinery ade-quate for all purposes he introduced the contract system and placed his orders with eastern shops that are already overcrowded. The result could be fore-seen. When the shops in Choyenno are completed the company will be in bet-ter shape than it is Meantime it Is losing a fortune through the penny wise and pound foolish policy it pur-sues. To guard against future contin-gencies and render the road independ-ent more works Bhould be established, say in Salt Lake City. A recount in New York would be more apt to be granted were it not asked on partisan grounds. WHOM OTHERS ENVY.

Mark that! Eighty men found a watery grave in It sinking vessel. Yet the dangers of the deep are discounted by the daily railroad wreck. The Lodge bill is not in question any more than the tariff bill in this cam-paign. The issue is, shall Utah become a part of the United States. The officers of the Democratic club equivocate. The best way to disprove the charges of The Times is to publish the resolution offered and the amend-ment accepted. A remedy for consumption that is available only for the wealthy is no ' remedy at all. If Professor Kooh's discovery is worth anything, it must be available for the suffering multitude. Although the census gives us but 62,480,540 people, we are yet the great-est civilized nation on the earth. Other countries would have to draw on their colonies to make up an equal showing. j No democrat or republican has a right to inject at this stage of the cam-paign a partisan issue. Judge Good-wi- n is a candidate of the Liberal party, whose platform is Progress and Pros-perity, x w was a fountain pen. He Trl. d to Explain Bow It Worked, nt Failed Ignotnlnlouely. . He wus a prominent lawyer of Topeka. Briefs with him wrre as thick as the sunflowers that fringe the low bottoms of the silent Kaw in August. Always dressed in the most spotless of fashionably cut garments, he was the envy of struggling barristers and the cynosure of the ladies who promenaded the aristocratic avenues of Kansas' fair capital. It was a terribly melting day in the scorching month of June, when, with a cool array of immaculate linen and sug-gestively airy, snow white duck, he en-tered the state library, where the ever faithful custodian of the precious vol-umes of legal lore was pouring over bis desk busily engaged in answering a mass of correspondence ever accumulating, the burden of his daily life of routine. "Why don't you buy a fountain pen?" he asked, in an enthusiastic tone, as he pulled one of these little instruments out of his vest pocket. "You can't imagine what a vast amount of time one can save. I purchased one this morning, and if 1 could not procure another I would not take $1,000 for it. "Why, don't yon know that a man's arm travels, in dipping his pen in the ink alone, more than half a dozen miles in an ordinary day of hard writing? Just think what waste of muscular energy! Let me show you how easily the thing works." As he spoke he attempted to unscrew the little cap, upon which a jet of the deceitful fluid, as fine as the spray from a lady's rubber bulbed perfume bottle, Bpurted out and struck him fairly be-tween the eyes and slowly trickled down his face, v ' "I guess that I have unscrewed the wrong end. Wait until I try the other." Then, without replacing the cap he had withdrawn, he slowly took off the other, which, permitting more air in, out the treacherous ink flew in a stream as thick as a lead pencil, completely covering his face, vest and permeating his hair, fall-ing down on his trousers, until his whole suit resembled the map of a swamp. With evident disgust depicted on every lineament, he slowly ejaculated: "Per-haps if I had been educated in a poly-technic school I would understand the mechanism of the darned thing better. Have you a lavatory here that I may try and repair damages?" Whereupon he went out, a discomfited man! Kansas City Star. Thanks to thoir timely offorts, the citizens of Paysen saved their opera house from destruction by tire. Thanks to their timely efforts, the citizens of Paj'son will save thoir manhood from the imposition of a theocracy. NOTHINO 11UT SOPHISTRY. Governor Hill's prominence in the ponding campaign is a painful experi-ence to his corpulency, Grover Cleve-land, and as nobody in particular asked him to speak during the cauvaBs he caused himself to be interviewed at considerable length through the Albany Argus yesterday. The burden of Mr. Cleveland's wail is of course the tariff. He is not discouraged in the least, it seems, believing as he does in the adage, "all things come to him who waits." Ho Is waiting. The marshals a ponjpoiis array of words signifying nothing. Says he for instance: "The effective iuculcation of the wholesome doctrines which characterize the democratic press, the thorough discussion going on in every part of the country, the undis-guised schemes of. the republican party to Becure its perpetuation in power through reckless enactments, which stllle the results of the people's suffrage, its unscrupulous methods of legislation and, above all, ' the positive distress daily threatened our people under the operation of the now and unequal tariff law a law which not only enhances the cost of the necessaries of life, but fosters the extortions of trusts and combinations all these make certain the coming of a freer, better time and tho ascendeucy of truo democracy." This sentence would stagger the ordinary mortal until ana-lyzed and then it is found to contain nothing except the usual ingredients ftud sophistries of a howling stump speech. The republican party seeks its perpetuation in power the same as Mr. Cleveland sought his. A party that is justly imbued with the faith that through its agency the rights and liber-ties of the people can best be main-tained would be derelict in its duty and patriotism if it failed to exert every honest effort to perpetuate itself. Since he was defeatod for Mr. Cloveland can see nothing but disaster, "positive distress" ahead of us. And behold, it is all due to protection. ' If he will compose himself and give the McKinley bill a chance to vindicate it-self, he may be disappointed. The should have gone down to Arkansas to aid Breckenridge. His argument is just calculated to be ef-fective there. Caine's property, both in conscience ' and in plant, estimates his majority at 5,000, That ia 1043 .less than he had two years ago, notwithstanding the con-stant Increase in population. Thus theo-cracy is dying off by rapid stages. Now that Commercial street is be-ing paved and is to serve as an object lesson in the way of improvements, the city council should see to it that the forest of poles sustaining the telegraph and telephone wires should be uniform-ly arranged so as to come out even with the sidewalk. As it is the poles are not only an eyesore, but they are an obstacle to driving and to the free flow of water in the gutters, causing stagnation and threatening disease. This work should be attended to forth: with before the asphaltum and the side-walks are laid. Mother's Eye. Anxious Mother My son, I saw that young lady yon admire playing tennis today.

One ofcthe most remarkable scenes evor witnessed in a court of justice is about to be enacted in Paris. At the trial of Eyraud, the assassin arrested at Havana some months ago, the counsel for the woman Gabrielle Bompard has demanded that hypnotic experiments be made in court to show whethor or not she could, as alleged, have aided in the terrible crime because Eyraud had hypnotic influence over her. The great specialists, Charcot and Voisin, are to j conduct the experiments, which will , daubtless be far more thrilling and dramatic than the famous scene of the hypnotization of Mathias in the play of "The Bells." |
