wener were questioned in regard to their belief relief in the tion on celestial marriage and their regard for thelah the law of 1862 1662 from prom their an answers it appeared that while they believed it right under the law jaw of god for eiml como men to td marry more wives than as congress hd had passed a law which had been profton pronounced U ced valid by the supreme court of the united states making such marriages criminal if it the evidence showed that the defendant defenda nut fit had broken that law they would convict and when questioned as to the conflict between tho the law of man and the law of gad god they answered that they wele wale not responsible the is sue suo su evas ovag oVas wag was between the law jaw makers and tho the almighty notwithstanding these answers those jurors were challenged fo actual blaa bias and aud the challenge being denied donled briera were appointed by the court who after questioning uhe the challenged jurors rf ported the

precedent on which future action is to be based to the great pre rejoicing ot of pious christendom now let us examine the matter and see how far the proceedings were in accordance corrance cor danco

are three impartial persons not riot anthe on the jury panel appointed by tho the CourE court by reference to the court couri proceedings ct CE in this case it will be seen been mat that arlera were

and his faith were notoriously ho hostile stile atile the trial ol 01 the challenge by buch euch individuals was wai but waste of time and tho the examination was a farce but let us find out what is actual bi bias biss a s 11 for which a juror may be challenged and tried sec see says for the existence of a state of mind on the part of the juror which leads to a just inference ir in reference to the case that he will u n at t act with entire impartiality the tho jurors who were excluded showed bowed to the satisfaction of every fair mind that they had no do actual blag bias according to this definition of the tiie term the question may be asked how could they conict colv ct if it they believed the defendant was justi justl justified dedin in his hla aeta acta b by y the al mighty to which we answer they were on their oath to act as jurors under the laws of the united st states stes ates and would decide not on the religious rightfulness or wrongfulness wrongful ness nees of u tha the practice but on the facts according to the evidence of the infraction of a human law and this was made as plain to the court as words could make mae it but let us refer to section oroa oron on the trial of a challenge for actual bias when the evidence dence is concluded the court must instruct the that it is their duty to find the challenge true if it in their opinion the evidence warrants the conclusion that the juror has such auch a bias against the party challenging him himas as to render him not impartial ana and that if from the evidence they believe him free from such blass bias biag ahey they aratt ainu the challenge not true but a hypo the lical opinion with malice or ill III walli founded hearsay or information supposed be true is of itself no evidence bias to disqualify a juror the court can P give ive lve no other othen instruction st 11 now we ask what cl actual bias had the rejected jurors furors as here described bed they surely burely had against the tha person them neither wore they with anything aby thing of the kind hind opinion pinion or belief was of itself eo osa oba bays says y athe the law no evidence q dias bias sufficient to disqualify them the whole proceedings were the carrying out of a pre ii gramme pro which had for its ob jeet exclusion of might be Ahou thought giat glat in the friendly towards the accused and to have him tried by a jury hostile e and prejudiced towards him and his bis religion this is the mode procedure which is to be taken as a precedent in coming prosecutions this Is the method by which cormons mormons Mor mons are to be convicted under a flimsy pretence predence pre tence of going through the forms forma of law and this is what kind chuis christian souls who in other cases boast loudly of the jury system and the necessity of its preservation inviolate in letter and spirit are rejoicing over because it is likely to be used with effect against the mormons cormons Mor mons but as we intimated yesterday here there is a possibility of the complete overthrow of this cunningly arranged scheme schema and violent per perversion version of our territorial statute polygamy cases are to the supreme court of the united states and manifest errors of the kind detailed above certainly cannot be overlooked by that tribunal when properly presented but it may be claimed that the decision of the is made final by the law bhat that what is true but wo we do not mot believe that any provision of a state or territory can deprive an appellant of a single constitutional right or that a mere more auxiliary temporary tribunal appointed by the court can cati exercise powers greater than the court itself the whole who 0 proceedings ce edings of the trial are subject to review on a writ of error by the higher court the constitution ue do clabes in article VI that no religious test shall eyer be required das as a qualification to any office or public trust under the united states and in the sixth amendment it is provided that the accused shall enjoy the right to a speedy and public tri trl triulby trial triai alby by an impartial jury the lury jury em paneled as described above was not an impartial ju rythe jurors rejected were challe chalie challenged aged on at a religious test on their belief in a certain tenet and in id a revelation claiming to be divine declaring that tenet for thebe these errors a remedy is provided by the laws of congress gress which claims supreme control in the territories the statute of the united states re regulating ji i lating tho the manner of making up the jury jur lists plainly contemplates gentiles equal representation in a trial by jury the proceedings edinga taken in the case which is isto to form an dished precedent were evidently arranged with a view to render void the intention of congress in enacting that law is no doubt a strong de sire on the part of the government stirred up by tha the loving and charitable professors of the religion of the gentle jesus i to prosecute the mormons cormons Mor mons with vigor and get as many as possible into the penitentiary but ut we do not think the supreme judges nor any of the national powers that be would contemplate with equanimity the introduction of a scheme under the forms of law which makes the venerated system of trial by an impartial jury J ury a thing of naught and introduces into our courts a test which the supreme law of the land says imperatively ively shall not be imposed let our pious sectarian and editorial good friends wait awhile before indulging in too man mau many y congratulations over the new now and short way of dealing with mons and remember the divine declaration with what measure ye mete it shall shail bo be measured to you again OUT HOME industries THE importance Im of sustaining g home irn iri duries has been urged u upon the people f c ople opie of utah BO so frequently that the tho sound bound of it is like tho the re frain train of a very tery old soh son song 9 but it appears to be necessary nee bagary to refer to hackneyed subject again and again it must be evident to every who thinks that while we are de upon uron foreign markets for sup supplies of articles that can be manufactured at a profit at home horlie our progress will be retarded and our wealth will be small it la Is the part of prudence and true economy to up the raw materials I 1 provided by nature so bounteously within our oar own borders byruch by sueh such means we become creators of wealth in the process we furnish employment for hands that would otherwise be idle and thus aid in iri promoting social order for industry is a foe tu to vice and the money which we expend abroad for the purchase of buch such articles can be retained in the territory for home circulation thus abolishing the cumbersome system of barter baiter or be med to bring machinery and other things we need that we cannot make oure ours elves elvea there Is one thing to be considered in connection with this subject on which our merchants should makeup make up their thein minds and determine their course of action when any article in general use which has heretofore been imported is successfully manufactured at home hoxie the power and wealth of the outside dealers whose business here is thereby cut off will be employed to crush out the local industry the question is will our home merchants sustain the home production or play into the hands bands of the foreign monopolist As cases in point we will refer once more to the shoe and soap trades we should certainly make in utah all the shoes needed for our own people if the industry is properly sustained there is no doubt that it can bo be done but justas just as soon boon as by systematic division of labor economical management and the ein employment of apprentice work boots and shoes are made at home of as good quality and at as low a price as the imported those firms ahat have furnished our supplies commence to cut down prices or introduce an inferior article hav ing as good an exterior appearance to most people as the genuine with the object of forcing tae tau local manufacturer out of the business and this will be the result unless the merchants help the home artisans which they can do without pecuniary loss by having among themselves a mutual understanding selling figures snells soap his established itself in the home market by its excellent quality and low price athas it hab has successfully competed with tiie tue standard eastern brands it Is in great demand our out merchants with one single exception have taken hold of it and the public have recognized its claims to patronage the industry is established and requires enlarged facilities to supply the calls made for it IL but this enterprise is threatened with disaster A chicago airm immensely wealthy which has sold more soap boap in utah than any other house finds that its monthly sales eales here have greatly fallen offard off anit anil traces the shrinkage to its true source A determined effort is 13 at once made to stamp out the local manufacture A considerable reduction la 19 made in the wholesale price of the chicago boap soap bringing it down dowd below the actual cost of manufacture and shipment and under the possible minimum of the home product if the movement is continued and sustained by our home merchants the local industry mu must 8 t go down for no small manufacturer or ordinary capitalist can hbeo to succeed in a fight with such great odds I 1 with all the advantages on the a ide aide of the foe unie unless ss he receives the unflinching support of the he public it will be easily understood that thia hib his will effect no permanent good to 0 o the consumer As soon as the eastern house with its millions of capital swamps the comparatively small utah industry prices will be made to rebound the loss sustained in n the crushing out process procesa will be made up by higher figures when the he monopoly is established reestablished re thus the territory will lose the benefits jene aits fits of an important branch of lome iome manufacture and be kept subject to the chains of a foreign market what esthe is the tho remedy just Justi this thib lile ilie s the home homo marketis market is not et fully sup supplied plied piled with the homo made artl arti clel cill cleie clele lei lej the dealers here take what is needed of the imported to make up fhe the balance of the demand at the reduced figure but seil seii it at the old price which la Is only a living price for the tho local article will this be of any injury to the public not no t a particle in the long run the homemade home made boap soap is worth wurth all that it sells for it cannot be made any cheaper at present it ia Is a better li arder harder smoother and brighter article than that sold by the chicago house bouse and ia is supplied at the lowest figure the latt latter iatter e r could offer until this movement was made madd to freeze freeza out the former wo present this subject for the reflection of the consumers who should ask for the homemade home made article when they make their purchase purchases and of our business men who deserve credit for the manner in which they have supported thia industry all patronizing it except one rout gout sidell birin and urge it up upun u

situated in Round bound valley a few miles west of the utah and northern railroad not far north of the line between utah and idaho idabo it i was called the idaho enterprise and considering the bilm slim pros prospect of patronage for a journal in that neighborhood it was wag thought well worthy of the name it appears however that the venture was backed by a certain well known railroad magnate in the east and that the parties interested in it were connected with the land office established at oxford hence the power by which it expected sustenance for awhile all went smoothly along the enterprise knew geithe neither mormon nor gentile 3 11 and seemed to be only beut beat oa on advertising the railroad rafi rail read the country and und its ita resources but bat aiau 11 there must
