"oi Ewo houses ls .Ward by Nine-feen- th be- deputy-marsha- tween 3 o'clock tad 4 o'clock on Tuesday morning is" very suggestive. Everybody acquainted with the design andZjIixpajV xI the" law "must know that such raids upon , the homes of quiet citizens --was never Intended by the framers of our statutes. It would not be "endured la any. other part of the civilized world. There U a proper time add 'a proper Way to eerie process, .and ' that .time legal is not in the night, unless ou some ex traordinary occasionldr the apprehen-- j sion of one accused of a flagrant crime or who is disturbing the peace of the community. For this reason, our local laws pr6-viexcept In a case of felon,' u Arrest must not be made at night, ia an extraordinary case the warrant mast have a special order of the Magistrate or Judge endorsed upon It, otherwise it .cannot be ' served at night. ; The - spirit of the law should fcuttie those "who 'have to enforce the law, and that wlU not urge night raids on citizens who are not breaking the peace or committing acts that render such proceedings necessary to the public wel- fare. And if the (arrest of persons charged with an offence against the law is unlawfuly at night, how much worse it Is to rouse people out of their beds at an unseemly hour to serve a subpoena? Witnesses are not to be subjected to fluch invasions of their homes and inroads upon 'their peace. There is no necessity and there is no law for it. The people . have some rights as well as the courts and their officers. In the night raid upon two houses in the Ni&eteenth'Ward, the deputies behaved with the 'utmost courtesy, we are informed.'- That Is greatly to their credit. We are not trying to raise any prejudice against officers who have to discharge a disagreeable duty. We do not want to obstruct the execution of the law.f. We have vnO disposition to find fault with those (who are author- ucu iw cuiuivc i u . jjiib tto naub citi zens to have their rights, and one of them is protection against "unreasonable searches and seizures.1' That Is a Constitutional guaranty. It is for the public welfare that peaceable people shall be secure in their domiciles. The Jtnglis'5!uan,s boast that "every man's house Is his castle," should be something more than a sham in free I de tha,-ordinaril- ' lal - , . v America.; We know what we are talking about when we assert that such invasions of hbme rights would not be submitted to elsewhere. Leading men of all par - ties, east and west, have declared emphatically that their houses should not be intruded upon in the manner in which they are entered In Utah, especially when witnesses only are wanted. We suppose somebody will be offended at these strictures. tFor that we rio not care a rap. The rights of citizens are more to us than any man's opinion or any official's good will. They fmust be .preserved from encroachment. And the purposes of the law cUnnot be effected by violations of its spirit in attempts to unduly enforce. It. These night raids are wrong, and for the procurement of witnesses are clearly needless and illegal,. AOUItCKOF GREAT EVIL. There ha ve been several cases, re; cently of complete failure" to substantiate charges of al ractionj of the Edmunds Law People have been dragged into ccWt ami tbtir private affairs made public, who oaght not to have beev thus put to trouble, humiliation and 'expense. No one covets the opportunity to go upon the witness stand, nor the ignominy of being closely questioned by a brutal attorney commissioner in regard and & hog-lik- e to Their 'family associations; The pubUe gain nothing by this exposures The few is not vindicated thereby. No good comes of it, except to the officials who grab their fees and thus bleed the Government fori their personal support. But what is the chief cause of these needless and vexatious proceedings? It is tho brainless chatter of babbling tongues. It is the disposition to gos sip, in which so many petople Indulge, In some cases it comes from vile and despicable desire to cause trouble to ' some . object and ti sorrow In of vengeance t or 'jealousy. thoughtless1 gabble others, Iroin ; affairs. While one is criminal and contemptible, the other is evil and de. , plorable. Facilities are open to the lowest and basest Informers to "put up a Job" on members of the the most community. A creature hired for the purpose is ready at any moment to make oath against the utmost stranger, if a 'suggestion is made to him of the victim's possible exposure to a pros ecutlon under the Edmunds law. It makes no difference that the professional swearer to complaints is totally unacquainted with the man' marked out tbr a defendant, taud .with condition and dohis family, He is not called upon ings. to make good his sworn accusation, lie is not punished for bringing people into needlees Jeopardy. s lhoe who profit, In lees, by his ebamefuj conduct,' are not likely to check blm In his course or aid in bringing him te Justiee for his Infamy.

It caa only be corrected by the cultivatlon'ol caution." - If men and women would only control their tongues, a vast amount of trouble would be siived to themland others. "Mindi your own business," sometimes" called the "Mormon" creed, appears to mat.y a useless Injunction. They must pry' totci the affairs of other people. They will, neglect their own homes In order to find out "all about If their neighbors. they hear the about family something an concerns of acquaintance, no matter how. little foundation there may be for the tumor, they cannot rest till they have repeated It to some friends and so - the story goes from mouth o mouth, gaining as it travels, till a groundless report comes to be a positive certainty. Informers catch the sound as IV flies, and then . follow, the sworn ' complaint on "information and belief, the arrest .of some- - good man, the summoning of witnesses, the anxiety and trouble of a Judicial examination, a fuss and fizzle, with no resultrercept chagrinand expense for the falsely accused, and fees for those who fatten od the business.

And in many Instances the original author of the rumor, would be startled and alarmed if It was hinted that he or she was responsible for all the trouble. IS it not about time that good men and women who condemn slander and deprecate gossip in theory, commence to practise prudence and the government , of their own tongues? And when false reports are circulated, Is it not requisite that some examples be made of their authors? We think so. The Teachers are required to see that there Is no Iniquity f in the Church, neither backbiting nor evil speaking. Ilere.is a wide field for their labors. And if chattering people will not put a brake upon their tongues, they should be dealt with as the law of God directs. No one has respect for a traitor. A fcetrayerel his trother is not honored 01 God, man or the devil. A sucker of blood-monis detested by all as a human vampire. We believe such degraded beings among us are far between and very ' few But more dangerous than they, are the busybodles and gabblers, and the scandal-mongewho start rumors, spread reports, and with hints, winks, nods and guesses, bring suspicion upon others and breed trouble, sorrow and "widespread distress. The voice of Wisdom cries aloud : "If any man seemeth to be re ligious and bridleth not his tongue, that man's religion is vain." ey tale-bearers, rs 1HK KL.KCTORAL. COUNT BILL. The bill regulating the electoral! count for President of the United States, which has been passed by Congress, is designed to forestall auy such disreputable business as was indulged In by the eight to seven commission, and to secure to the country a peaceable solution of any: difficulty thBt nay arise in case of a dispute as to t be presidential election.
