nud a ud that ls lathat thab that there is neither belthe r the necessity for nor the right of interference fe 1 r l en e in the be prem premises Lpes what was d done during dining the war and immediately thereafter either as a war measure or as aa a policy of reconstruction cannot be urged as a prince precedent dent for or a justification of any resort to force on the martof the authorities at washington to determine for the people of a sovereign n state whom they recognize as as their rulers the rule rulo that has been and is still being invoked with reference to states Is id one that can belied be ased with double force when applied to territories A state Is ia presumed bythe bytho by the constitution and the jaws to have the right to regulate its own amm aff mairs lairs while a territory being considered but abut a breath or of congress is held to be entirely under its control and therefore when a trouble arises in a territory the whole the government can be brought to bear upon aitto enforce obedience to its laws and submission to ap authority and tl this ds can be done no matter how glaring the wro wrong 11 g may be or how outrageous the usurpation of power since the passage of the poland bill the carpet of utah have been quietly organizing tu to preel preci precipitate I 1 the people of this territory into a conflict with the powers that tiia t be step ep by step has been the onward mar march eh to this eld end anid annd with the tle light of recent developments glade gidde plain by the ther es of the autocrats of the bench we feel safe in saying that if there bere is ia not a sharp conf conflict lct iet between ilie people and their rulers in utah it will be wholly on account of the good sense and continued forbearance of the people we therefore take occasion all the tinie time to advise the people throughout to be patient under cheso adverse circum st aces nees and by their conduct show the world where the fault really lies 1 the rhe reprehensible conduct of the judge of bf the second district in rejecting men as jurors on account of their religious opinions in the very teeth of legislative enactment the fulmination of a charge tu to his grand jury so utterly at variance with established practice and settled precedent coupled with the action of the judge of this district in the tooele thoele case cage where the right to a trial triai by jury jurs upon the plea piea of legal discretion was dismissed the insolent behavior of this same judge to ward ware ware members of the profession who haxe have grown grey in its service all nil 1 I 1 conspire to prove what we have have cla said gald a I 1 d and ought to convince the most skeptical that our apprehensions are not ill founded has etever it ever occurred to our readers that it is and has been for some time table talk amongst the tile most rampant of our federal officers in utah that the county of tooele thoele could bo be made the judicial stronghold of the third district from whence persons could be drawn who would be put where they would do the most good does not the recent action of two of the supreme judges in their respective district districts warrant uis ils in believing that it is the intention of the ring to manipulate the drawing of jurors that a mere charge against some parties will certainly be followed by conviction on what other hypothesis can such conduct be accounted for simply none it is a bad cause that requires a J judge to assume we twe role of an attorney and a sad bad commentary on the judiciary of the country that there are men wearing ermine who are not more learned than witty and not more advised than confident and whose conduct Is governed by expedit expediency ncy ney and is not the tho outcrop ping E ing of that integrity which should be e the portion of every right mind f ed e judge wo we therefore conclude t that thao in no time in the history of the church has there been so great a need of high moral courage and the exercise of those virtues for which the latter day saints have been so justly preeminent pre eminent as there is today to day |
