in the belief that specie payments would
be resumed ut IN early day. They are
now beginning TO buy their bonds back,
and their purchases, with those Of the
Government, arc considered by many rs
likely to carry prices US high, If not higher,
than those OF last year, when 1905 were
strong ut 1898 If the sentiment Of tho
country finds favor in Congress both the
funding bill and resumption will stand nd
iOurnGd TO the next session. With COIL
tinuCd free purchases BY tho Treasury of
Government bonds it is believed that both
Of the much desired measures, rCsump.
ton and funding the debt ut lower raie
OF interest, may be sooner brought about
than by any special cnactmcnlS looking
directly to ilat end. Good credit is the
base Of both, and nothing SO effectively
establishes that us evidence Of ability and
willingness to pay largely on I our National
resumption and funding bills Of arbitrary
and unjust provisions wait q little.
The New York FTadMsidl Chronicle Of
Saturday says:
The bond market has again Gxhibiteda II
tirmer feeling, and prices have ranged
fully 1Dlt per cent above the average Of
last week; although toward the close
there has been reaction, owing to tho
prevalence Of rumOrs. which, though not
we'll founded, have been more or less
credited, TO tho effect that the Banking
and Currency Committee favor reporting
buck tho Currency bill in the form III
which It was tCcOmmittcd from the House
The advance in prices has been partially
stimulated by rise in gold and an advance
Of per cent IN bonds abroad. But the
main causes oi the improved feeling have
been the growing case in money, with the
prospect Of its continuance, and tho pro.
liability that the large revenues of the Gov
crnmcnL and It's increasing currency
balance will result In m early increase Of
Treasury purchases Of bonds. Upon the
suppOsitiOn TINT the Secretary Of the
Treasury would probably accept $2,OOO,-
600 OF bonds in lieu Of the $l,O00000 I'D
vcrtised for yesterday, the offers were
lnrgc, amounting TO $685. ,0j0.' and ut
generally full prices, but only $l,000000
was accepted. There is healthy invest
mGnt demand for bonds, md the supply
coming on the market is quite light. The
predominant impression Is, that, In the
event Of the Committee Of Ways and
Means reporting, as is now gcncrllly cx.
pressed, u $3.50 year four per cent bond, or
even Of no funding measure being adopted
at this session, prices will steadily ad.
vance to par in gold; and us gold is ex.
pectcd to rise in sympathy with the usual
shipments of specie in the summer months,
u higher range Of quotations for bonds Is
anticipated.

( The House did nothing yesterday with the
| Tariff measure, which delays action on the
more important Funding bill; but it debated
| leisurely. though feeliDgly, on the proposition
to wage war against Polygamy in Utah, for it
is to this complexion that the Utah-POlygamy
bill has finally come Looking at affairs in
Utah from the room of the Committee on
Territories, Mr. Ward of New-YOrb saw only
the dcmOraizing influence of Poygamy upon
MormOns and Gentiles alike, and yesterday
raised his voice for war; Mr. Schenck, how
ever looking from the Ways and Means
COmmittee-room, saw no necessity for vast
expenditures of public moneys to devastate
private domains, and yesterday endeavOred to
have the bill laid aside for more important
matter. We fear, since reading yesterdays
proceedings, that very respectable minority
possibly a small majority-Of the House Sc
rOusly contemplate the passage of the bill.
Such action would be most unwiSe. There is
no evidence further than the apprehension"
of Mr. Ward that persons connected with the
Pacific Railroad and persons living in ada
cent States and Territories were becoming
"debauched by their c0ntiguity to Utah. On
the contrary, the evidence is very strong that
the aforementioned Gentes are very much
disturbing, not to say dcmoralizng, the Nor
MONS and it is already pretty clear that the
struggle between the numerous and increasing
no-wived Gentiles and the few many
wived saints is fast eliminating. We know
of no better plan to settle the question than to
let them thus fight it ont, for the issue is not
doubtful. In the meantime, these spasmOdic
attacks of virtue are not a little ridiculous
After long compromising with the crime for
convenience sake, and countenancing the evil
because far removed, we cannot now establish
our virtue, wipe out the reproach, and disprove
our completely by eagerly rushing into other
excuses, as demoralzing and far more ex-
pensive. to crush the evil at blow. Our part
of the penalty must be paid; let us not select
to tender it in blood.
