Dr. MeLcod, which we present elsewhere in this, impression cT The News, should have' the careful' reading of every citizen; anil particularly those citizens who for the time are placed by their fellows in high places, charged and 1 sworn to the trust of enforcing the law for all.

THE new sugar making process discovered by Frybach, of Berlin, will revolutionize the augar trade if it "holds It modifies the present expensive and defective process by doing away with crushing and pressing.

The cane is cut into strips and the water extracted by alcoholic vapor. The saccharine which is left is then treated with liquid alcohol, which, it is said, extracts it entirely. Then the sugar is extracted from the alcohol by a filter of lime and chalk. If the process proves successful it will at once add about one third to the present production of cane ugar. 'Admiral Porter claims the history ie is writing of the operations of our navy during the war that without supplies from abroad the Confederates could not have maintained their position fornix months, and that therefore the naval blockade materially shortened, the conflict.

This service, he thinks, was of as much value as the actual fighting which the nary did, and never before, be declares, was there a blovkade so extensive, so complete and during which ao many vessels were captured "or destroyed. There were 1,119 total prizes secured and 355 vessels destroyed, aggregating in value with their cargoes Is the course of our advocacy of the. Saturday half holiday movement, has covered a good many years, we accidentally find the following, which we offered three years ago: 1 The half holiday movement.ainong tlie wftrk Ingraen feast manifesu iuelt by xporndic. stnl Jur tlie mutt part iiK fliM'twiL, su lke. cuuld Ih done to arrive at hunt pan in this mutter by Vfn ai consultation Tur Duality or action than disjointed strikes.

There are sonic industries which by their nature render a lialf holMuy mi tKWsible eveuiiis nennpaiicnt, for instance. There are others which can, perhap, as well iv pciul at noon on Saturday us at 4 o'clock. It aeerns chiefly necessary that they shall "all do it," so that universal custom edwork no inui Mual harm. lie re, apparently, there wereinovemcnts for a Saturday half holiday rfthe industries a well as trades. The very men of jit horn "Meclianic," who protested in The Xews the ether day against a Saturday half holiday, is one, are trying to get half holidays for Jhein aelvea.

They ought 4oj have' tliciu. Me 'ehanic" had. better join haids and help the good cause of his fellow workers along. Commission eb Mr rphy declares he did aot back down from his posiUorrdoj uig.the saloons closed on the Fourth; but that he is cognizant of tlie fact that the impression was abroad that hehad and that it was acted mpon. That is the whole story.

When the aloon kecpera thought they would have to oley law they were in a terrible tremor. They meet in great numbers and "resolve" and hurry off to invoke political influence to nullify the law. lliglit there is the ig of the episode. They did nut dare disobey the law in the lace of a knows determination to enforce it. 'shrank From a square contest with As' aoon as they enlisted in their efforts to vitiate the law.

a State officer and received for an awer "nod and a wink," in other words ac cured the understanding that "there would bo nothing to fear, then they were bold aa lions. Once certain that the "other fellow" didn't mean to fight and they trailed their coat and twirled their stick, tilted their hat over their eyes and begged somebody to hit them. There could be no clearer proof than this incident that if the authorities determine to enforce the law, a worse whipped lot of cravens won't exist than jhese same saloonkeepers. And why shall not the authorities determine this? If it is a bad law there is no way ao direct to have it repealed as, this. If it is a good one its enforcement will bring in its train salutary effects that will strengthen it, In any event it is the law.

If any proof were needed that the authorities as constituted are amply able to enforce law, the The Salt LakeIonn.ri and. the Indfan apolis raloon keeper struck great tribulation on the. Fourth of July. The Salt Lake Uor nvms had to 'Mwke water;" the IodianApolis saloon keepers, we are sorry to fay, did. not; they took whisky without or hindrance.

The Salt Lake Mormons hung the (Nation's starry banner at balf inast because a score of the fremnt "iheir people" were in the' penitentiary by virtue of national action, "subversive of ail pinciples of law and liberty' The Indian.ipoiis saloon keew rs fiel the law, because, according to formal resolution, they "believe and do hoHl to the faith that it is common, right and proi that, as fiw eitirens of this, our common country, we should 1e allowed to celclirate the said Indejendence Day in such a manner as will meet with the approval of all liln rt v. loving people and citizens of onr common The 'two ca are juTfJ'hl at every jxint. The Mormons are indignant because they can not indulge, in the Nulooti ket'iJcrs bccaune tiicy can engage in their tr f3c 'at forbidden tim and, each alike, de'nuinces 4he law that prohibits him, as overturning the true principles of liberty. F.ach declares that his idea of what freedom and liberty are should prevail in spite of lair. The Mormon's idea is to marry without restraint; tlie Indianapolis saloon keeper's idea is to "sell liquor without restraint There is as much justification for the one as the 'other.

If the IiidiaiinjMilis naloon ki ejn is jiermitted to rosolve that the law prohibiting his frink tralhc at ertain time is subversive of lils erty, and to substitute therefor his own idea of liberty, then the Salt Lake Mormon has a right to resolve that, the law prohibiting Iiolygaiuy subverts. hii liberty, and to in in promiscuous jiiarriatrc, and, as we said Saturday, thieves and burglars have a right to hold that the laws acainst housebreaking and stealing are subversive of their liberty, und to set them tihidc'. There is.u't one hit of difference in any the cases. Fonu of liovcrament, It lins been suggested frejueutly of late in the current of presi discussion that a change of committee make' up iu Congress would be desirable, as tendiiig toward a stricter definition of responsibility; a change, that would put upon the majority The whole responsibility of the initiative iu legislation. All legislation in Congress, it is woll known, is committee that is to say, measures arc referred to appropriate committee instead of being considered directly, and upon the report of committees are adopted or rejected; at auy rate, upon the report of committees action by i the boly waits.

These committees are made up by the dominating party in each house with party majorities, but this frequently if. not always transfers the beginning of the. fight to the committee and minority reports are a matter of course. The suggestion is that whilei no change need be mikle in committee like that of the District of Columbia, private land cluims, library and the like, that in those of national concern on' which parties divide as to policy only the majority party Should be represented; such are committtesion appropriations, the ways "and means, lianking and currency, commerce foreign affairs and the like. In the line of demarkation it is urged 'should be drawn between the special and the" general business and the latter put wholly under the control of the dominant party.

At firsC sight there is a good deal; to recommend this view, but consideration suggests a difficulty which' arises from our system of government, and that is, whieb is the dominant arty? Take the present situation: The democrats control the House and the I.xecutive oat the republicans control the Senate. If the latter chose to resist obstinately the democrats could not "dorn't'ate" with all that the word implies in the way of responsibility; and so it must always be except in the case of a majority in both blouses of Congress at the same time that the same party has its choice in the White House. As we see it then the proposed change would amount to little irf practice. For behind it there would still have to be an appeal to public sentiment through the pres and the stump, as there is now. A larger and truer of our system of government can jbe had if we will think of the powers of government, as not resting merely in the I legally constituted bodies of Omgress and the.iExecutiye but also ju me ri.uu 11 ijii al appliances a free press and free speech.

All operate together to ascertain the will of the people and to act in accordance therewith. It. is boasted that in England i tl)is will is ascertained more directly aud acted ujmjii more 'quickly than Wjith. tis. Hut this is a mere surface judgment made tip from appearances which arc, as the proverb says, deceiving.

The English machijiery. may be less cumbersome thau ours, and jansn adj ust ments more nicely made, but we doubt if it executes the real will of the ioplc or reflects more exactly the drift of public opinion better thau'ours. There is a sense of responsibility to the jcople in our Government more sensi live than in any other in the world We believe. A case in point is the tariff bill of 1S83. Tarilf Wit not 'the issue when that Congress was elected.

That Congress had official I. intimation of a desire of the people tariff reform! But the election of 1SSJ which would not take effect till later showed that the people wanted tariff reform emphatically, and the Congress then in session hurried as if "had been sent for and hud to to pass a new tariff bill. So after all we think such proposed amendments as this committee one amount to little. Our form of government may be aucicut and clumsy but it "gins." The American people "get there" every time. They could fight a great war under a republic as splendidly as could the most ab olu'te'desjrotisni that was ever devised, and this suggests Pope's aphorism: For forms of government let f.ils contest What e'er is best administered is President of Marietta College.

ZOitoAstTKR. By F. Marion Crawford. Now Yori and London: Mac.Miliaii'i o. luoianapolisj theiweUrM rrili Company.

Mr. Crawford has added mnch to his growing literarv fame lv his last book, "Zoroas, ter," for is a work ol" very much power and originality. It is historical novel the author calls it at drama's riot weighted down by a multiplicity of iu' idciits and characters, but simplv' and strongly toid, while tiie inei deiital descriptions and dissertations are al most mi dels of cliis writing. The storv is that of the mature lite of Zoroaster, the Persinn prophet and founder of a religion. Little is knowji i of the man aside fi'oui his writings, with which no lault can.

I lound so lur as his teaching of mortdity is concerned. Mr. Crawi'ord makes him, a soldier and a student, taught by the great projihct Daniel. When vet a voung mail he is called to live at the court of Darius the great, and is accompanied by Nehuslua, a Frmeess. I hey are lovers, but are separated tnrougn tne niacuinuuons of Atos.sa, the Nehushta marries the King and jroa.ster becofnes a ht tuit, living in a cave, in the and it liere that he receives the inspiration for.

his new religion, which he afterward introduces and estaolisties in Persia aud becomes a power in the laud, not even second to the King. There is no reconciliation betwcen i htm and Nehushta, but they both came to know of the iniamous causes that led to their separa tion. In the end re a rebellions uprising incited by Atossa and Zoroaster and Nehushta are killed iu each other's arms in the ianctuarv. he story is veryi flramat ically told, and an effort has evidently bi en made to make it as consistent as possible with klie history, 'manners aud customs ol the leople with which it has to deal. 5t is rich in orieiitajl imagery aud vividness pf description, but richer tlill in characterization and philosophic thought.

THE AMKUICAX Mfc SOS J.H' THE FREE Tbake ivrariMii.E IN England. By M. Chicago: Tjchumm llAd leal KevieW Olhce. This little book in an expansion of a previous work entitled "The History of the Free Trade Struggle in England," whose popularity was the cause for reproducing it iu this ibape.

It js a work of great iuterest and value. The arguments used by advocates of the American system' of protection to day are til borrowed from speeches delivered iu the British I'arliaiuent in Is 4 by the advocates of the English protective system, and hence this history of what that country underwent in its struggle for free trade reflects on every' page lessons for us to day, showing us the same old errors, the same old arguments, tlie shine miserable results of the same system of prolecliou.
