There Is trouble among the saints of SAT-

started among them and processes to discrim-

very much 10 the disadvantage Of the latter
creed. The faithful are said to be growing
"tired and disguised with the continual petty
tyrannies exercised over both body and mind,
and the perpetual drain upon the resources OF
their industry TO keep up legion of presidents,
apostles, bishops, elders, teachers and triple
the number Of wives, to say nothing Of chill

the whole Church has fallen out, we may or

for the immediate issue Of at least two bulky
appendices to the Book of Mormon, and pos

Fruits Of the New Excise Law.

The attempt to reform the morals of our
people by paltry and meddling legislation is
already producing Its natural fruit We do
not mean to insinuate that legislation and mo-
rality have no necessary connection. But we
do mean that when legislation condescends, for
the ends of morality, to interfere with matters
not necessarily immoral In their tendency, thus
robbing the individual of the right of private
judgment, it not only defeats the ends which
1t had in view, but becomes the parent Of other
and greater evils than those from which it pur-
posed to deliver. It was so in Puritan Old Eng
land; it has been 80 in Puritan New England.
In the former country the severe legislation
of the Commonwealth begot the excuses OF the
Restoration. In the latter the immoral prao-
tees which prevailed and which have obtained
worldwide notoriety, found their natural
sources in the principles Of protracted Puri-
tan domination. The present Excise regula-
tons are to be traced to the same narrow and
meddling spirit, and we are already per-
mitted to taste their bitter and nauseous fruit
We only state the simple truth when we say
that that desperate affray which took place last
Sunday on the Hudson, which converted the
William Titamar and the two attendant barges
into floating holls, and which resulted in the
death of one maa and In the wounding and
mutilation Of several others, would not have
happened but for this stupid Excise law. The
liberty which is not 10 be had within the city
bounds will be taken beyond them, and what
law does not permit violence will secure. We
have no sympathy with the rowdyism and bru-
tality which were manifested on the occasion
referred to, and it is our earnest hope that the
guilty will be brought to justice but for the
benefit of our would-be social reformers we
have taken the liberty of pointing to the real
root of the evil.

Death OF Fltz Green HalIeck.

One of the earliest rs well as best
Of American poets, better known per-
sonally to the last generation than to
this, but whose works are and will
continue to be known and loved, -
Fitz Green Halleck died at Guilford,
Ct, Tuesday night, at the age of so.
Mr.. Halleck has not written much, far
less indeed than we could have wish
ed: but what he has produced stamp
ed him long ago as true poet, and
time has recognized the mark as genu-

in the banking Office of Jacob Busher
of New York, and later he passed into
the house Of John Jacob Astor, with
whom he continued till that rich man S
death Never a writer by profession,
and not depending upon the pen for
his bread, he wrote occasionally and
fastidiously, but with an ease and
freedom that show he could have pro-
duced much, as we'll as that which
was good, had he been so disposed. --
The first of his acknowledged poems
were published in the New York Ev-
ening Post, in 1918, and the "Croaker
Papers" and Fanny" one Of his long
