TINE will probably mollify the
grief which will attend the announce
ment in tue United States that the
Mormons of Utah propose to emf
CRATE e,a mdSse to Mexico. Such IS
the rumor in the latter country, and
the wish that it may have a found
alton in truth will do much toward
making our Latter-day-Saint atIlict-
ed people believe that it would be a
good move. 1t is certain that the
old MormoRs of Utah will not dis
miss their wives at the command Of
the laws, which are fast creeping
iuto their very doors. Their only
escape viii be a removal from the
soil Of this Government, and Mexico
would naturally be the choice Of the
ostracised saints" We trust they
will go; and the sooner they go the
better.

Project for the Removal Of the State
Prison To milwaukee,.

In anticipation of the report of
/ the state board of charities, 1t Is
whispered that they will recommend
/ the removal of the state Prison from
I Waupon to this city. 1t is said the
members are Of the opinion that the
institution could be managed more
economically and protitably here
than at any other point or the State.
As Il manufacturing institution it
will never make a fair return on
ccAyict abor until it is located at a
point where it can be- provisioned
at reasonable expense, and where
the products Of the workshops can
be shipped to any place in the inte-
liOr, or by water to east-port shores
without the trouble and cost that
now attends the transportation of
Its manufactures.
If the rumolDis founded on fact,
and the legislature should concur in
the recommendation, the county
could dispose Of the house of COR
rection To advantage, and throw in
a number OF skilled Iong-term piis-
oners to bind the bargain, This
would relieve the towns of their
present distress, because they are
taxed to support city prisoners, and
would leave the city tree to employ
her prisoners in public works, or to
build an institution in which light
castings might be manufactured, or
some other occupation may be pro-
vidcd for them. In any event, the
State would profit by the removal
Of the prison. There would be no
difficulty IN securing a suitable and
convenient location, and, as our rail-
way and shipping facilities are un-
surpassed, the removal would re-
Dolud to the interests of the State.

TIE PARTY OF THE FuruRE.-A no.
tlceable artiole-headed the "Next
Great Battle" appeared in a recent
issue Of the New York Tribune The
writer declares that the time has come
for the dismemberment andIdissolution
of the Republican party. which has been
in power for the past twelve years. But
he also argues that the masses OF that
party, though disgusted with the cor
ruption and imbeciiity Of their leaders,
with their disregard OF The interests of
the country in their haste to accomplish
pure personal ends, will not seek
refuge in the camps of the Democracy.
They will not desert, but rebel, and.
joining with the best men in the Demo-
cratic organization, will form new
party, based upon living issues and
vital principles. The Tribune announces
that the party is rapidly organizing,
and significantly asks, who shall be it's
leader? ~.

A Shot at a Kansas Senator.

The following is rather clever and
veraeious reminiscencc of the late Garrett
Davis. who was very much given to jok-
iug. The Kentucky Senator was one day
snooziug quietly in his chair. when bill
that had been taken up during bis nap
came to vote. A neighbor punched
his ribs. aud said:
Wake up, Mr.. Da Davis-your name is
called"
half unconsciously tho Kontuckian
arose, and asked the Vice. President what
they were voting on. The Vice -Presi-
dent explained that it was a railroad bill
in Kansas.
"Well' said Mr.. Davis, in that shrill
voice and pointed manner Of his, "what
I want to know before I vote is, the a.
mount Of stealing in tho BILL"
Whereupon the Kansas gentleman
arose, bis face beaning all over with
smiles, and said:
Elf the Senator from Kentucky will
permit me will explain. l have thor
oughly investigated this bill, sir, and
assure you that if there is any stealing in
it cannot find it.
ss"All right, Mr. P resident" responded
Senator Davis, if the Senator from Kan
sas can't find any stealing, I'm satisfied
there is none there"
r., All over ths Senate Chamber there was
an audible smile.
