Show ED editorials IT ORIAL S embarrassment tim THE following from the chicago aws shows that it views the position of senator edmunds in legard regard to the state of trade in great britain pretty much as expressed by this journal I 1 senator edmunds of vermont Ver mont mout has just returned from england where he had bad been a witness before the house of lords Lord sinan in an important litigation on being interviewed by a new york reporter on the condition of trade in that country he said that it was very much depressed that be he had made inquiries on that point wherever he went and the reply was everywhere the same ile he adds that the cause is undoubtedly overproduction over production that england has gone on manufacturing until she has glutted all the markets that there is already a widespread feeling leeling in that country that she can only save herself and prevent starvation or emig emigration ration among her hen working people by following in the example of the united states and d adopting a protective tariff policy and finally that he thinks she will be e compelled to do so senator edmunds has the reputation ef of being the ablest lawyer in the united states senate but bat when he talks of great britaina Brit ains overproduction and of her hen lg glutting lutting the markets of the world be he exhibits a strange ignorance of not only the laws of political economy but even of trade statistics thus the exports of british manufacturers have largely declined since 1880 During D nning the last six months the decline has been nearly ten per cent as compa compared red with the corresponding period of last year while the imports were but W 3 per cent less now the moral of these figures is that although great britain instead of glutting the th worlds markets is selling less to them than formerly her purchasing or importing power which is the evidence of her wealth add and staying ability has not been materially lessened consequently ly instead of glutting the worlds markets she is still relieving them of their surplus her imports for the last six exceeding h her er exports by the enormous sum of how Is this for an exporting glut tAi

the seven republican officials owing to the unconstitutional test oaths t the district court Is unable to get a jury as none but qualified electors that is others than mormons cormons Mor mons can sit as jurors the majority of voters being mormons cormons Mor mons they are declared to be de barred from their actual rights as citizens thieves murderers etc are there safe from trial as their

know how and where to commence my labors so that I 1 could do the greatest amount of good I 1 realized that we were not permitted to hold meetings in I 1 S and could not if we wanted to for no one would come colue to hear us if we did I 1 soon found also that in consequence of these lying reports many of the saints were either elthera fraid afraid or ashamed to have us come into their houses in

really idealizing zing this state of things and being unable by my own wisdom to find another way I 1 determined to CALL WON gon THE LORD to show me a way by which I 1 could accomplish something in

in their distress this gave me the key to my labors for I 1 knew I 1 would be able to 11 flad R d b ick I 1 and nd afflicted and widows and fatherless in every hamlet where I 1 could readily find out 1 mho who I he administered to their wants and visited them in their distress accordingly with a tankful heart to my father in heaven for this pleasing information or key I 1 started out u upon 0 n my mission of mercy and love PI my 1 y first town was De gerloch which has about 1000 inhabitants about three or four miles from siut stuttgart having had but a meager breakfast 1 I determined to call a at t a f farm arm house and purchase a pint of milk and a piece of bread which would also furnish me an excuse to ascertain it there were any sick or afflicted or poor in the town while I 1 was taking my milk which was real good I 1 commenced to bear a faithful testimony to the good lady who was sitting br by sewing she dropped her work and I 1 listened to me with profound attention when I 1 was ready to go I 1 asked if there were ail all any y poor afflicted people in the town b but ut was informed there were none but the lady had become so interested in M my y remarks that she begged of me t to 0 vi visit her brother who was a very religious man that he might hear me also it is needless to say the milk and bread cost me nothing aad and I 1 felt to bless her in my heart for it ii accordingly went to the house but on telling him the object of my visit I 1 was very abruptly informed that he lie had the gospel and therefore had no ile need of another As before I 1 asked him if there were any poor pour afflicted people in town but was again informed there were none however after reflection he said he believed there was wa a sick man who was also very poor a short distance from his house which was subsequently confirmed continued b by his he did not khow know positively from the window he easily pointed outtie out the house tome to me and asheh as chehad adno no use for the gospel and was reported to me to be a very good religious mau man I 1 made my stay short and proceeded to the house of this man on entering A SIGHT MET 2 MY GAZE which if I 1 live to be a thousand years of age I 1 shall never forget upon a bed with soiled linen and most miserable and wretched surroundings lay an aged manewith man with white flowing hair and long iong white whiskers apparently out of his mind as plainly shown by the hollow wandering eyes appearances indicated that the spirit might at any moment take its flight to that unknown known in world whence no traveler returns 71 by his side sat a poor wretched looking woman clad in ra rags as every lineament of whose face indicated a long iong period of suffering andeara an and deare care the two were the only occupants of the room A small table partly supported by the walls of tile the house a cupboard and two three ae legged 11 ed beaches in place of chairs were ar all ail I 1 the furniture visible the walls were filthy

no bood it appeared as though death bad left him she had bad also sent for the doctor but in consequence of being poor he came but once six months ago and that he then said he could do nothing for him

all the support she had was wao wa about 60 cents a day 35 25 from her boy and 2 25 was given her from the public treasury with this she had bad to pay the rent and an support her sick husband and

already stated at the conclusion at af this sad heartrending story during the recital of which as a natural consequence she shed the most bitter tears I 1 1 told rier her if she bad faith the lord could give her relief either by taking her husband to himself or making him belter better althis she again acain burst into a flood of tears exclaiming 1 I BELIEVE I 1 BELIEVE accordingly we knelt down by the bedside and add I 1 engaged in prayer atter prayer I 1 laid my hands bands upon him anable and blessed him I 1 designed to ask the lord to take him because to all human a appearances C es

health and strength th instead of asking the lord to take rialto him to himself HI in self seif as I 1 intended with considerable consid erable anxiety of mind I 1 departed from the house for as

from within but what was MY SURPRISE to behold my aged dying patient standing in the tile middle of the floor with both hands extended at full length to bid me welcome to his bis house I 1 stood riveted to the spot for I 1 could hardly believe my senses As I 1 grasped his bis outstretched hands the tears flowed down his cheeks as he attempted to express to me roe the gratitude of his heart

As soon as the good old lady could collect her thoughts and speak she informed me that upon the afternoon of my visit he obtained control over his bodily powers and that night he rested as calm as a
