MOURNINGS AT FUNERALS.
There Is not muoh In Brlgham Young's
example thntenn be commended, remarks
the Now York Herald, but the Instruc
tions ho left for the conduct of his funeral
nro In several respects very sensible,
though in others somewhat nniuslng. lie
evidently itttnohcd a high Importance to
his body, nnd as ho had always taken
good care of It during life, so he wished
to ho comfortable after death. Most men
havo an antipathy to thinking about
their Ibtiibs. Urlglmm was very particu
lar about Ills burial, as especially fastidi
ous as to liiscofllii. This was, 110 doubt,
largely duo to his belief that his body
would" rise at tlio last day, when he nat
urally desired that it should present a re
spectable and clean appearance. Ilo
iiierciore oruercu a cotton oeu ami sou
nl How placed In his collln, which was
also to bo made wide enough to allow him
to turn cither to tne rigiitor left as 11c
m itrht desire. No one can object to tills
cti'ectionatc solicltudo for the body, un
reasonable as It may appear; but tho di
rections for tho funeral ceremony de
serve general approval. Tbo Herald par
ticularly admires tno common senso 01
his wish that tho mato members of his
family should not wear crape, and that
'the females should buy no black bon
nets or dresses, nor black veils, but If
they havo them they arc at liberty to
to wear them." This Is excellent advlco
for Gentiles as well as Mormons, for tho
fashion of wearing black to impress grief
for tho death of relatives has oecome a
great social abuse. The expenso of lirlg
lmm Young's family would, of course, 00
very great, as no ieit soventcon wives
and forty children; yet even In an ordi
nary Gentile family tho cost of mourning
apparel Is often a heavy burden. Persons
who nro unable to purchase good every
day clothing nre required by this foolish
custom to array themselves In sable gar
ments for whlcn tliey frequently cannot
pay. Thus, In order toshow their sorrow,
they must run into debt and add to the
gloom of the funeral pecuniary troubles.
Funerals arc made fantastic by the com
bination of the undertaker and dress
maker, llrlgham Young showed wisdom
In forbidding Ills family to Indulge In tho
mmiscIohs mockery of mourning dresses,
and his example in this respect Is 0110
which it would bo well to Imitate.
REGULATING WAGES.
A Scranton. l'a.. man whoso name it is
Cornelius Smith, is scattering a circular
throughout the country In which ho con
tends that the wages of laborers and all
other employes should ho llxed by Act of
Congress, timltli Is evidently ono of
those Imnractlcahlo theorists on the sub
ject of labor, who do so much to befog
tlio question ami coniusc tno minus 01
tho musses to their own Injury. Hu has
an Idea that In a Republic people are not
capable of regulating their private hind
ni'KS, heneo tho necessity for a parental
government to step lu and icgulato their
all'alrs for ilium. If government can reg
ulato I ho rate of wages it can also llx the
prlcoof every saleable article, and should
It do this tho citizen would havo le?s In

The proper function of government Is to
enforce contracts, not to dictate their
