high priestesses of the new dispen.
sation, boldly avowed, in public
session, the practice, during their
journey, of such deeds as no decent
journalist is willing to record. A
test resolution in favor of-monog-
amy and the present family sys-
tenn, was contemPtuously tabled by
vote of ten to one. The session
was carnival OF rhetoric and bonn
bastic inanities; q renewed attempt
to slay, with the jaw bones of assea,
such modern Philistines as chris
tianity, morality, the family and
the State. It is now time for the
public to know Just what these peo-
pie are aiming at. It is not such q
re-mOdcling of the existing law rs
to facilitate divorce and re-mar-
rage. tits rather the total annihiia-
ton of all marriage. The union of
one man and one woman for life, or
even for limited time, is declared
to be bigoted, selfish and alto

on the verge of this maelstroom,

Moses Hull and Cora Hatch, To

Nearly two millions of dollars
In gold arrived in New York from
England u few days ago. AS we
have a large amount of bonds in
England, this would indicate that
there is no distrust there of nation
a. or State bonds, and that our pro-
duce is wanted. The great facts in
relation to the crisis are, that no
property has been destroyed; no
city has been barned up; no crop
has been injured by storm; no man.
ufacturing industry has been ruin
ed. There is really just as much
material wealth in the country AZ
before. Fictitious values have dis
appeared; credit, some sound, bnt
mostly unworthy, has been shaken :
so sudden and sharp q shock must.
of course, derange business to 3
certain extent but il is more than
probable tina. the loss so arising
will be more than compensated by
the caution 1t viii engcnder, the
prudence it win stimulate, and tho
economy 1t win promote. There
has been too mnch haste, and too
much downright recklessDess. Too
much money has been put where IL
cannot be recovered, and where il
pays no interest. Now, are we not
doing just this thing In our towns,
in our families, and in our personal
expenditures? The crisis will, most
likely, soon be over; the losses have
not touched, save indirectly, the
great industries Of the country, but
the lesson. we trust, will be needed.

THE NEW GOSPEL.

This country is at present infest-
ed with a type OF humanity pecu-
liar to the nineteenth century. Its
representative are fond of calling
themselves Progressiyes. The gen.
tlemen are usually distinguished by
wearing very long hair, often part
ed in the middle and deliberately
curled. In other respects their
toilet is. SO to speak, shabby and
scedy. The ladies, on the contrary,
generally wear short singled hair
aud abbreviated draperies. These
Progressives are always Spiritual
list and advocates Of female suffrage
and free loYe. We do not mean 10
say that all suffragists and spiritual
lists belong to the elass described.
No doubt that large majority of
these two classes OF people are OPP
posed to the doctrines Of the long
haired evangelists. But the latter
are numerous enough, and obstrep-
erous and blatant enough. to bring
much prejudice and disgrace upon
the former.
Tho recent Hspiritualistic" con-
vention at Chicago was g case in
point. 1t was . gathering only
paralleled by those OF the vorat
days Of the Paris Commune. Mrs.
Woodruff, Tennessee ClAfiin, her
sister, and . mighty throng of short
haired women and long haired men,
assembled ut the orgie. Mrs..
Woodruff was, fog the third time,

SPECIE PAYMENTs.-A merchant
of forty-eight years standing has
written long aud very interesting
letter to the Boston Globe, the gem
eral tenor and conclusion Of which
Is, that a genuine and permanent
prosperity is only to be recovered
and maintained by a return to specie
payments. Without entering into
details It may be taken for granted
that much of the estimated value
OF property must be shrunk out of
existence sooner or later. Whether
we return to coin as the basis OF
currency, or the currency itself, by
the slow process OF giving up to it
in the lapse of time, or by the
speedier method of legislation, it
still remains, and win remain true
that business, is and is to be in the
meantime conducted on irreg-
ular and unsafe methods. The fact
that the government would not ae-
cede to the petition of the New
Workers for an increase of currency,
is proof that 1t considers q return
to specie payments O thing to be
secured at the first possible moment.
Now, as to the when and the how,
opinions would widely differ; but
If It were once fully understood by
the country, as 1t appears we may
fairly assume, that the administra-
ton is determined to bring it about
at the first moment consistent with
the real interests of the whole coun-
try (not the speculators), then that
consideration would of itself lead
people to prepare for and so aid in
fits earlier accomplishment. We
take it to be decided that the forty
four millions which the Treasurer
claimed that he had the legal right
to reissue will not be reissued. So
far, so good. Now let it be an
nounced by word or act, that re-
striction is to be the rule, and we
should have made long stride to-
+
ward a sounder state of affairs. 1t
must be remembered that In no pos
sible way can the dollar be made to
mean, and endowed with the pur-
chasing power of, a coin dollar,
without shrinkage in values, and
the injury to some portion of the
community; but it is also to be re-
membered that the present condi-
ton of our monetary system is a
grievous injury to everybody but
the gamblers. Let the right prin-
ciple be laid down, and then let us
work up to it, and work it out as
fast and as harmlessly as possible.
No one would consent that we
should never return to specie pay
ments. The question then is, and
1t is quite time to consider it, when,
and in what way?

SPEECH OF ESGLAND's PREMIER.
At the Welsh National Eisteddvod.

AN9eAOAAA
The American readers of The
News, no less than its Welsh pat
rons, win be glad 70 know what the
great British statesman has to say
in reference to the treatment of the
Welsh people as well as those OF
Ireland in times gone by, and es-
pecially when he admits, with a
csndor which is quite refreshing,
that that treatment was impolitic
and unjust.
This great speech, portions only
of which will be selected, was de-
hvered at Mold, in North Wales,
on the same day that the Prince of
Wales publicly announced the open
ing of the great harbor Of refuge
ct Holyhead. The prime minister,
the Right Hon. William Ewart
Gladstone Whose wife is . Welsh
LADY, consented to preside on the
first Of the three days of the Grand
Literary gathering, and his speech
not only opened the eyes Of the
English people, but astounded the
British Press. After an exordium
of unusual beauty, Mr.. Gladstone
said:
81 own to you that since it has
been my duty to make myself in
some degrees acquainted with the
past and present relations of Wales
to England, have found that SUBJ

Now that Jay Cook & Co. are in
trouble, the bondholders of the
Northern Pacific Railroad are anx-
iously inQuiring as to the future Of
that enterprise. The Chicago Tri-
bune takes the ground that it must
be given up. 1t says IL the bond
holders let the enterprise come to
4 stand-still, their property is abso-
lately valueless. That portion of the
main line already completed will
not pay operating expenses, even
conceding that the branch roads
that havo been bought by the
Northern Pacific may be operated
at a profit. If the road as 1t
stands cannot earn enough to pay
expenses, of course the interest on
the bonds will not be paid. 1t has
been paid heretofore only by the
sale of new bonds. This resource
has been cut of, or Messrs. Jay
Cook Il Co. would not have sus-
pended. If the interest on the
bonds is not TO be paid, then tine
bonds are absolutely worthless so
.ong as the road is in its present
condition.

From THE CANNIBAI. ISLANDs.-
We have from the Feejee Isles the
startling intelligence that a great
revolution is in progress. King
Fce-faw-fum, or whoever the pres
ent Missionary cater may be, is in
trouble. His subjects, especially
the white ones, refuse to pay taxes,
either in money, or, we suppose, cat
able infants. IL Mr.. Ward were
among them, he might perhaps
effect a compromise on the basis of
an occasional mother-in-law; but at
present it seems likely that large
portion of these islands will soon
be held by tax-titles.
These islands, with their fertile
soil, mild and healthful climate,
complete freedom from noxious
reptiles and insects, and wonder
full variety of tropical products, are
nearer 10 our idol of an earthly
paradise than any other part of the
globe. American adVenturers are
numerous there, and IL It were not
for the degraded, cruel, and canni-
bal natives, no better acquisition
could be made to American terri
tory.
These natives are, however, rapid
iy diminishing. The white settlers
are anxious to be annexed to the
United States. No doubt that with
the help of liberal presents and
Quaker Policy" this arrangement
could be made, and and a new and
wonderful field opened TO the enter
prise OF our PEOPLE.
