" A minister at Topeka has expressed a similar determination not to respect kthe law. It is characteristic of the orthodoxjchnrchos. They will come down rough-shod upon anything 'that ' doesn't just suit their viowaand'invoke ' the law to assist them in enforcing their notions ; but when the same law pinches them , and 'interferes with some of their mummeries , that alters the case , and the law is' infamonp. The churches shouldered that amend ment as a thing of their own. and every preacher in the state made it his business tbi speak , work and elec tioneer for it. . They imagine tnat it was to Interfere with other people's business , not ? their own. Now that they find they are the first ones hit , a howl goes np from the pul pit , and they declare their inten tion to violate the law * They place -their obligationaito thelr.church high er than to the civil law ; and rather than forego the useless mummeries and flummeries of the church"they will violate the law that they were the chief instruments in forcing upon the atatuto books. * There are cases of , sickness in which spirituous liquors are absolutely necessary , and- that , without1 the loss o time in going through tHe f6rms required bylaw : Jt > ws.all .well , enough < with , tBe"se preacher * , nbrtaiatter at what' riskof human life what cared they for suf fering * or death ?

In these days of newspaoora , it is remarkable to find a' city of any size without a journal. Ogden City , with its seven tbousandpeoplepresentedttie remarkable spectacle of' not having a single .newspaper published , in the place . Various paper enterprises hac been set afloat in' ' the city during the past fifteen'or twenty yeara , and one after anotherceaeed their publications. So then on March 1st The Pilot filled a blank that had lasted just two weeks in which Ogden had no paper. The Ogden Daily Pilot is owned juid. _ edited by.E. A. Little- ' fioldj who has b'een engaged in jour nalism .in the west for the .last ten or fifteen 'years. ' Thb city editorship is filled by J. M.
