The judge of Beitraum had recently before him a ease in which a man was charged with the murder of a child for its bracelets and anklet, which were of cheap silver and worth about, twenty rupees. The murderer had pawned them for four rupees. The evi-dence as to his guilt was overwhelming; in-deed, he did not deny the charge, but plead-ed that, he committed the crime under ihe impulse of a pain in the stomach, and he went so far as to ask that that organ should be opened in order that the truth of the alle-gation might be clearly demonstrated. The judge, however, declined to have the opera-tion performed, found the prisoner guilty and sentenced him to death. The sentence was confirmed in the usual way before the high court of Bombay.

Hall's j Catarrh Cure is the only positive cure known to the medical fraternity. Catarrh being a constitutional disease, requires a constitu-- i tional treatment. Hail's Catarrh Cure is taken internally, acting directly upon the blood and mucous surfaces of the system, thereby destroying the foundation of the disease, and jfivintr the patient strength by building up the constitution and assisting nature in doing its work.

You can have any story that you like in politics just now. And if you do not see what you like then m;ike up one yourself. THAT IF. Every now and then we learn through some correspondent in Washington that the Home Rule bill, so called, is sure to pass if there is always an if it ever conies to a vote in congress. The senate ha3 heretofore been looked upon with some doubt, but ac-cording to the intest advices that body, too, has now been converted and if that if the committee on territories reports the bill favorably it will go through with a whoop anil a hurrah. We Imagine the correspondent gets his in-formation from the lobby that is maintained in Washington to help the bill through, and if the lobby cannot report progress what is the go d of keeping it up? Hence the uniformly cheerful tone of the correspondent, ma: red only by the irrepressible If. Now it is Governor Thomas and Commissioner Godfrey who loom up as the ominous Ifs to stem the irresistible tide that has pro-fessedly set in for Home Rule and Ken-tucky Smith. We are prepared to learn in another week that had it not been for the two ifs last named the bill would then be a full-fledg- act. Alas, those ifs! As a matter of truth lb. bill has not progressed a single step since it was reported from the House com-mittee. It is true the House will pass it when it comes before it, but that, was assured from the first, and indicates nothing but a determination on the part of the ma-jority to help their party in Utah. At the same time this ought to be the very reason why the republican majority in the senate should make it also a party measure and reject it. When Kentucky Smith devised his little scheme to obtain a number of oftices by the slight turn of his wrist, he thought to use them for the perpetuation of the democratic part; in Utah. Now that the democratic party is being whipped on all sides the effort is not so much to per-petuate as to rehabilitate the party by the distribution of those ollices where they would do the most good. We do not believe the republican senators are the kind of birds to be cauirht with that sort of chaff. Judge Bbnnmtt and John HijNKT Smith laid down the proposition before the con-gressional committees tht Utah was en-titled to all the privileges of state-hood or to none at all. Neither the people nor the government de-sired a compromise that was incumbatcd over nig it in the fertile braius of a peripathetic ottice seeker when not a soul had ever asked for it or thought of it before. The call for Home Rule is wholly artificial. The idea was never suggested to anybody in Utah, or known to be entertained, until one morning the bill was introduced in congress, and it could therefore not have grown out of any political necessity existing here. Reform movements are not started that way. They have their inception with the people before the leaders crysialize them into shape. Utah demands statehood to which she is entitled by every test of right and reason and she w 11 have it. The Home Rule bill is nothing but a retarding of that consum-mation, with a perpetual If attached to it. CLOSING OF MAILS. At Salt Lake City Post.ffice, May 1, 1392. V.P.

The Pioneer Library association asks for an appropriation of $1000 a year from the city. This i a modest request and should be granted. Thriving western cities have everywhere the reputation of doing well for their citizens in all such beneficial educa-tional matters and it has been the reproach of Salt Lake City for years that it contained no free public library. All honor is due to the masonic fraternity for having furnished this city the only library to which the public have access. They did this at very consid-erable expense to themselves and yet they were forced to charge tifty cents a month for the use of books. This excluded the very class of readers to whom a public library is of the greatest benefit; young men and women out of employment and boys and girls hungering for knowledge, but whoe parents do not s mpathize w.t their aspir-ations. The thing which every enterprising city east and west nowadays does as soon as possibie is to furnish a free library with a reading room, open day and evening, for the use of ail persons who r ar a ds of intro-duction from responsible residents. A considerable part of the city revenue comes from taxing vice in several forms and it is only just and proper that a certain portion of this fund should be turned into channels where it may do something in the way of preventing vice and crime and no agency therefor can be thought of that, as the years roll on, is more effectual then a free public library with inviting and conven-ient reading rooms. Wc hope that no plea of economy, nor the laudable desire to see other schemes for the improving aud beau-tifjin- g of the city will be allowed to crowd out the favorable consideration of this mod-est petition. Mayor Baskin's comment on the spon-taneous patriotism of the street car corpora-tions, when compelled to it by circumstan-ces, was a hit of tine sarcasm which hit the .point exactly. The notice sent out by the Union theolog-ical seminary just on the eve of the meeting of the Presbyterian assembly at Portland, that it means to stand by Dr. Bkiggs, is not calculated to propitiate the existing trouble. Thehe is strange inconsistency in the re-fusal of the Methodist conference to elect a colored bishop, however concealed amidst words, and the fiery denunciation of the outrages committed upon the negroes. The golden middle way is after all the best. The Union Pacific bridge over the Mis-souri river at Omaha is in danger of being carried away by the floods. That bridge is unfortunate. At oae time a span of it was carried off by a tornado ; at another time a Jiuricane damaged it and when the elements got through the courts took hold of it The wonder is the bridge can w ithstand all that The death of General Ki.aika yesterday recalls to mind the stii ring incidents of the Hungarian revolution of 1818, of which L i is K""i TH is now the last prominent survivor. Dear, Axdrassv, Bem, one after another they crossed over the dark river, leaving the great chief alone, an exile at 91, in a foreign country. But adversity never could beud the spirit of the old man and when the compromise of 18H7 was concluded with Austria, Kosm tu declined to take the oath of allegiance for the new kinir or the neu order of things, though all his former compatriots did, and the refusal meant political obscurity and actual exile to him, which he has suffered since. The democratic machine starts out too jrrecdy. It would be well enough to boss things after awhile when they are in run-ning order, but to gobble up every office in sight the very first year partakes too much of the nature of a hog. Certainly Utah at large which casts five times the democratic Tote that Salt Lake does should have been entitled to one delegate to Chicago. But what is the machine here for if not to get office? The Mountain Ice and Cold Storage com-pany desire to inform the public that the ice and ice ponds referred to by the board of health and sanitary committee in their re-port to the city council at its session on the evening of May 10th last, are not tnose of the Mountain Ice and Cold Storage com-pany, who only sell either artificial ice made from distilled artesian water or ice gathered in Parley's and Cottonwood canyons, The ice consuming public may safely pat-ronize the Mountain Ice and Cold Storage company, as they do not handle ice eathered on low lauds, in ponds contaminated by seepajra from tilth slacked on the banks or vicinity. Frf-zin- ilors niit dintroy the (1 'i seaxr germs in impure Wilier. Ice dU (rrtou$ to health is not cheap at any price. It is interestiug to note the simultaneous durational movements now in progress by the three moat numerous Christian bodies in the United States. The Methodists, the Baptists and the Catholics comprise some-thing like 15,000,000 souls, or three-fourth- s of the total number of professed Christians In this country. Each of these denomina-tions is pushing its educational and mis-sionary iaterests as never before, and they are spending very little time In debating creeds and dogmas of theological literature. The Methodists entertain a plan for a unt-Yersi-at the country's capital which shall be national In its scope, and organized on a scale surpassing anything hitherto attempted by the denomination. They believe that by locating it at Washington they will be able to neutralize the national eifects of the Catholic school situate there. It is the idea to raise not less than $50,000,000 as an en-dowment fund, and this will be collected by general denominational offerings. The Raptists, who during the past two years have been engaged iu a general endowment movement by which many of their educa-tional institutions have been put ou a solid basis, have selected not Washington as their great university but Chicago, the metropolis of the mighty west and the highway of the continent. Its total endowment fund al-ready reaches pearly $4,000,000, though its doors will not be open until next October. These three overshadowing denominational schools are destined to exert a powerful in shaping the religious thought of the future iu the United States. |
