These materials are made from

nothing but study up new things in

from fifty to seventy-five factories

The latter usually secure exclusive

"Perhaps some year I may hit on a design that will become so popular that all the other makers will be forced to adopt it, but the next year some one in Boston or Philadelphia may make a hit and I shall have to follow him. There's never any telling how a necktie is going to take with the public until it's on the market. There its success depends upon who adopts it first. If it happens to be a howling swell and on the right side of public favor that particular kind of a necktie will sell well."

"Are the styles of making up neckties originated abroad?”

"Not now. They were until a few years ago, but now our styles are superior to the European, and they of ten come over here for our patterns. However, there is a tendency for English fashions for the fall."

"YOUNG UTAH," MARK THIS. THE "Liberal" organ published yesterday the annexed communication purporting to have come from Beaver:

"There must be something rotten in Denmark, or in the Second District, among the Marshals. The petit jury was summoned on the open venire system by the present Marshal, who assured the Prosecut ing Attorney that some of these men who are on the jury and who passed a rigid examination, were straight men, when in fact they were in excellent standing in the church.

Beaver, Utah, Sept. 8. 1889." That paper then recommends Judge Anderson to give attention to this matter, "that he may have knowledge of what is charged upon officials of his court," and says:

"If his court is being imposed upon in this most vital point, he will no doubt know how to protect it and correct any wrong that may be

found."

From the foregoing it appears that part of the "Liberal" doctrine and policy is the entire exclusion of all "Mormons" from jury service. This is worse than "Liberalism" in Idaho. While members of the "Mormon" Church are there forbidden to vote and hold office, they are permitted to act as jurymen. This is the practice in the Idaho District Courts and is declared by Judge Berry to be sustained by the law.

STRETCHING A POINT.
THE St. Paul, Minnesota, Globe
has, under the above heading, the
following sensible article on the
anti-"Mormon”
planks in the

Idaho State Constitution:

In Utah there is no law, local or congressional, which excludes men 'in excellent standing in the Church" from serving as jurors, in either civil or criminal cases, except in a trial under the Edmunds Act of 1882 or the supplemental Act of 1887. On the contrary, the laws of Congress contemplate a mixture of the two classes of the population as jurors. The Poland law provides for it, the Edmunds Act plainly implies it by making the exception we have indicated. So that not only "The Territory of Idaho has are members of the "Mormon" adopted a State Constitution, and Church "in excellent standing" not claims a population that has not excluded, but the spirit if not the been exceeded in number in more letter of the law of the land is vio- than three or four new States.

Judge the constitution that are radical and Anderson has no right to find fault dangerous, and conflict with the with them in the premises, his court Constitution of the United States.

It was a handy verdict for the side of the defense, but not a consistent one from any standpoint. It involves a new departure on the part of the jury and the Court, but such novel innovations on common law and common sense re frequent in our sister Territory in the north. There is a wide divergence between the result of the

trial in point and the definition of the word "conspiracy" as given by standard lexicographers. For instance, Webster thus defines "conspiracy:"

A combination of men for an evil purpose; an agreement between two or more persons to commit some crime in concert, as treason, sedition or insurrection; an agreement

for the purpose of wrongfully preju-
dicing another, or to injure public
trade, to affect public health, to in-
sult public justice, etc.; a plot.

Conspire is rendered thus:

THE PHILOSOPHY OF PAIN. Nature, which some people laud If Mr. Webster is right, we agree HUME, the English historian and and worship in preference to Deity, with him entirely, as against the noted skeptic, wrote: "If God carries in its operations the very position of the Oneida County, would have prevented pain, but same consequences as those that are Idaho, jury, and Judge Berry- could not, he is not omnipotent; if attached to the revealed Divine law. then, to reconcile with that fact, the He could have prevented it, but Compliance with its laws brings verdict and the decision on habeas would not, He is a malevolent be-pleasure, violation thereof bring corpus, Mr. Samuel Davis must be ing." regarded as "a host of himself." specious but not deep.

PENITENTIARY APPROPRIATION. Congress appropriated $100,000 to be expended in improvements at the penitentiary. Among these are the following: The purchase of twenty acres of land with water right contiguous to the site of the building, the building of a stone wall to enclose two acres of ground, a new residence and office for the warden, guards' quarters, an addition to the present cell-building of similar size to the present one, a building for a chapel, a hospital and a women's department. All that has been done with the appropriation thus far has been to purchase the before mentioned twenty acres of land with water right, at a cost of a fraction less than $5,000. Consequently, of to this is, man was made a free appropriation there remains to agent.

It will perhaps be argued by the skeptic, that the fact of man's deviation proves a defect in his constitution, a disposition to do that which resulted in pain. But the answer

All things have their opposites. And it is by contrast that we learn and appreciate the joys of existence. If there were no pain, how could we experience and fully sense what pleasure is? If there were no darkness, who could comprehend the immense benefits of light? If we never tasted of death, how could we enjoy all the possibilities of perpetual life?

That the rigmarole it contains was never written by a "Mormon” nor by any one who ever was a "Mormon," is evident to all readers who are acquainted with the views, sentiments, customs and surroundings of either class. The organ calls the writer "an anonymous brother." It will be almost universally set down by Utah readers of that paper as entirely bogus and manufactured in its own office.
