neans of protecting our citizens abroad, by

Navy Department, and cutting the appropria-
lions down one half, when it has been shown
In unmistakable figures the absolute wants OF

The question now is, will the American
people have navy or trust to the British for
protection? Are VIC to stand idly by and see
liberty loving people sacrificed before our
eyes. and not lend them helping hand? Or
are we to see Cuba laid in ashes when we can
put forth hand and stop it, merely by show

can give us?

Tho Anti.Polygamy Bill.

The House yesterday amended Mr.. Cullom's
bill to abolish polygamy in Utah in several i'm
portant particulars and passed it. The more
important amendments strike out sections
which empower and direct the President to en-
force the bill by sending regular troops to Utah
or by calling forth volunteers to the number of
forty thousand; directing the Secretary
Of the Treasury to relieve such per-
sons as are reduced to destitution to
an amount not exceeding one hundred
thousand dollars, and providing for the divi-
sion of the property of polygamists among the
now, however, the bill is still cruel and
tyrannous. 1t provides for disfranchising
and disqualifying from public office and the
benefits of the Homestead act all citizens
practising polygamy or concubinage, debars
poygamic aliens from becoming citizens, de-
prives woman of the suffrage and the
right to serve on juries so lately rendered
her in Utah, establishes test oath
more severe than the iron-clad, and
forbids man marrying his grandmother
or other near relations. We must not forget
in dealing with the Mormons that whatever
their social errors they have built up beanti-
full city in the desert, and have 1ourished and
thrived more prosperously than any other set
Element on the Plains, until now they are fixed
and cannot be suddenly uprooted without
great wrong and destitution ensuing,
for which there is now no pro-
vision in the bill. Besides, they have not
shown themselves bigoted in much else than
their social system. They have welcomed the
Gentle world and have aided the building of
the Pacific Railroad. 1t would be better to
leave their system to the melting influences Of
the universal ballot (Which unfortunately this
bill curtails), the schisms and the iron horse.
But we are glad, at least, that the House re-
fused to countenance war on the Saints, and
has determined to uproot polygamy, if it up
roots it at all, by the slower and juster process
of civil legislation.

views OF tn0 HOUSE OF Representatives on
the Funding BILL.
From what can be learned Of the views OF
the members of the House Of Representatives
on the Funding bill there is reason to believe
that this bill will be very much modified. It is
understood that many of the members favor q
uniform long four per cent bond instead of the
several classes proposed by the Senate-say
bond having forty or fifty years to run; these
to be used for the redemption Of the present
securities as they fall due and as the govern
ment can make it convenient. OF course all
the work of changing the debt could be done
by the Treasury Department in the ordinary
course of its business, and without paying from
six to twelve millions to foreign and domestic
agents. Such plan would do away with the
complicated and expensive scheme Of funding
according to Mr.. Sherman's Senate bill. The
best feature of this plan is that there would be
no sudden or violent disturbance of the cur
rency, the money market or the debt. Every
thing would go on smoothly, and we should be
prepared to fund the debt as it may become
due. This is the best idea coming from Wash
ington that we have seen yet, and we think
according to the light before us now, the House
of Representatives would do well to act upon
it instead OF adopting the Senate Funding bill.
