Getting Better Not Worse.

Reading the history of the times in
the England and Holland of two CEN
turies ago.. we were led to ask, if they
were any better or worse than those
times in which it is our lot to live? !?
We are not Of those who think that
the present state of morals in this
country or any other civilized country
is worse than it was one, two, three,
or four centuries ago. On the con-
trary, there was never century when
the public and private morals of the
nations was higher and purer than at
this period. To illustrate and prove
this position, we would have to 60 in
to the details of social and political
manners and morals, as they existed
in England, France, Holland, Germ
any, Italy and Spain, at any time since
the annals were written and compare
them with what we know of the period
now passing. We deplore the corrup-
tion of public men, and the use of
money to procure office and jobs.
There was moro of the same evil III
other days of England and France
than there is now there or here. we
bewail the depraved literature OF the
day, but the licentiousness of that Au,
GUSTAV age in England that produced
the greatest of her poets, was also the
age of writers whose names still live
but whose writings are too indecent
for modern eyes. There was never =
period in the history of this or any
other country when a higher standard
of moral purity was required of the
clergy and ofwoman, than is demand
ed now. The social atmosphere is. al
together more refined to day than it
was fifty years ago, in this country
and in Europe.
1t is not we'll to take gloomy and
desponding, view of things, as if ev-
erything were going to ruin, because
they do not go as we would like to
have them 60. They are bad enough
certainly. They ought to be better,
and it is our duty to make them better,
But they have been worse, and are i'm
proving on the whole.-[N. Y, Oh

= The plank in the Democratic
platform in favor of the liquor interest
is simply this: That the General As
sembly should submit the question to
the people of amending the present
Constitution so that the General As
sembly of the State can authorize Ii
cense law to be passed. To oppose
this proposition is to oppose consult
ing the people upon an important
question which is vital to their inter
ests.-[ Register, of last week.
Here is the resolution referred to by
the Register.
Resozved, That we favor the sub
mission to the people by the General
Assembly of an amendment to the
Constitution authorizing the passage
of license laws.
That excuse of our neighbor for the
liquor plank in the Democratic State
platform is thinner than gossamer. =
The people of Ohio have just decided
against q liquor license law by nearly
5000 majority, and what is the use OF
submitting the question again? But
what excuse will our neighbors render
for the plank in their Democratic Con
gressional platform. which denies the
right of the people to place legal re-
straints upon the traffic in intoxicants
For fear our neighbors may forget
what this plank declared, we repro
duce 1t:
Resozv ed, That we are opposed
to all sumptuary laws; and that
we deny the right of one portion
of the community, by legal forms
to dictate to another portion what
their habits in economy and do
mestic life shall be; and that it is
the highest duty of Government to
protect individual freedom and person
al rights against all officious encroach
ments and Legislative intermeddling.
Now, dear Brethren. try your inge-
nuity in reconciling these two con
ficting democratic planks with each
other. One asks for restrictions while
the other denies the right of the peo-
pie to do any such thing.

Bigamy and Brighamy.

Brigham Young having been brought
to book by his 10Th woman, who
strangely enough sues for a divorc,
has put in plea that has taken all
Mormondom by surprise. Up to this
time it has been understood that he
and his followers held that their much
marriage was equally valid with TWEEN
ty as with one, and that all their So
CALLED wives weressuch in fact as well
in name.
But when this 10Th woman, his Ann
comes into court aand demands legal
separation from the hoary old sinner.
on account of i'll treatment, he pleads
that his union with this person is not
a marriage in the civil law but a
"church arrangement" part of the
Mormon religion, withswhich the laws
of Utah have nothing to do. 1t is
very easy to be funny over this "church
arrangement" and to smile at its alb
surdity, trickery and sin. But it has
a grave aspect, which must be licked
at, until the scoundrels who have in
vented it are punished by the laws of
the land, and the institutions they have
set up to the destruction of social or
der are eXtermin ated from the area Of
Christian civilization.
1t is now seriously claimed by Brig
ham Young that his harem system is
not marriage in any usual and prop
er sense of the word; that bigamy in
Utah is Brighamy, or system peculiar
to him and his church, adopted by
them in defiance of law and the ideas
Of the age, and not subject to the con-
ditions which attach to it in other
parts of the country or the world.
This claim set up by Young, in for
NAL manner, in the courts of the Uni
ted States, as his status, defines his
position, and makes the course of the
government perfectly clear in it's deal
ings with Mormonism. It is to be
proceeded against as any other crime
would be. If q man in the State of
New York or the District of Columbia
is put in the penitentiary for attempt
ing to keep two or more wives at the
same time, let the same law be applied
to Brigham Young and his people,
since they now proclaim that they are
not subject to legal penalties, and will
maintain their peculiar institution in
defiance of public sentiment and the
law. We have lately heard too much
of "afffnities' and "beloved pastors,''
but we are not prepared for "Church
arrangements to include a score of
wives N. Y. Observer.

All wisdom does not reside with
platform makers. The Democratic
platform expresses the horror of its
virtuous trainers that national banks
should receive interest on their own
debts-that is, on their own notes
which they loan. The Democracy for
a long time had control of the State
and National governments and tried
their hands at deVising banking sys-
TENS. The banks they created loaned
their own notes and took interest on
them; and even the most expert finan-
cier had to keep "Detector" in his
pocket to post himself as to the dis
count of the bills of the mpriad wild
cat banks. They did not provide that
the swindler institutions that were To-
Gated in every village should pay in
terest on their worthless issues, but
they now regard it as a serious matter
that the national banks do not pny in
terest on the notes they loan, and
which are as good as greenbacks.
Suppose the Democracy start bank
on the principle of paying interest on
what it lends! It will have a good
custom during the brief period of its
existence Lebanon Star.
