Judge Lowe, now of Utah, has
reversed the Judgment of his prede-
SCISSOR, Mexican, in relation to the
alimony of Ann Eliza, nineteenth
wife of the outlaw Brigham Young.
1t will be remembered that Mexican
decrced her $4,000 "back ray" and
$500 per month in the future. This
the gay Lothrio who runs the Nor
mon business refused to pay, and
the Judge sustains his side of the
case. 2The points made by Lowe are,
if we understand them, that Brig
ham and Ann Eliza were meyer le-
gally married, and she cannot there-
fore recover alimony;. that if the
Government recognizes her claim it
recognizes Mormonism, and in the
view of the Judge the government
would stultify itself by doing so.
1t seems to US that the position of
the Judge is eminenty sound and
clear. Some of the papers attempt
to appologise for him, or excuse the
decision on this and the other
ground. This seems TO be uncllled
for, as Lowe evidently knows what
he is about. 1t is popular we know,
to denounce the Mormons, but if
anybody expected Judge Lowe to
do otherwise than discharge what
he thought was right and his clear
duty according to the law and eY-
idence," they will be disappointed.
1t would undoubtedly be pleasant
thing for Ann Eliza to have Me-
Keau's decree enforced, and people
generally would be glad to see the
old briSand and bigamist of the
mount aims despoiled of his ill-got-
ten gains, and his deluded followers
scattered, but it must be done legal
ly and consistently. Their doom is
sealed and it is only a question of
time when they will be driven from
this continent. 1t is better to do il
through the courts and their officers,
than with the bayonet.

The summary removal of j. W.
Douglass, commissioner of Internal
Revenue, is explained. Secretary
Bristow found out that therefore,
somebody in Mr.. Douglass Office
had secretly notified the whisk y
ring Of all proposed raids on distil-
leries. The. late great and success
full raid upon this giant ring had to
be carried on up to nearly the last
day, by keeping Mr.. Douglass and
his confidential clerks in as pro-
found ignorance of the matter as
If they were whisky distillers them
selves. But TO get certain docu-
mentary evidence it finally became
necessary to inform Mr.. Douglass
and few of his employees, and the
very next day kilograms went from
Washington to whisky distillers
in many cities, warning them of the
proposed search of their establish
ments. The next thing that hap
pened to Mr.. Douglass was the re-
moval from his Office, done by Pres
ident Grant at the request of Secre-
tary Bristow. And this IL what's
the matter with Douglass and the
whisky ring.

Mr.. Nicolay, former private Sec
rotary President Lincoln, is unfor-
tunate enough to own some wild
land in Usage county, and came out
to look after it the other day. Be-
ing there he seems disposed to take
a little hand in the county-seat fight,
80 the Usage City Free Press says.
If Mr.. Nicolay does go into this
free fight he will wish he had kept
out before it is over. He will hear
a good many things about himself
aud relations that will surprise him,
and will probably regret that
he was eyer born. None but the
"old seed warts" are fit to go
through a Kansas county seat fight.

CnSsius M. Clay.

We see it stated that Cassius M.
Clay, of Kentucky, will stump that
State for the Democracy in the COM
ing campaign. This announcement
will surprise Mr.. Clay's admirers.
All will remember what a bold an d
fearless advocate he was of the
cause of anti-slavery during the
struggle for the overthrow of slaY-
cry. Living in q slave state, he
bearded the lion in his den," and
often put his trifc in jeopardy for
the cause he so persistently and
ably maintained. Now he ''turns
his coat" and espouses the cause OF
his old enemies. Previous to this
announcement Mr.. Clay had not
been heard of for some years, and
whether he has been seized with q
sudden desire for political prefer
ment, or whether his "chaRge of
front" may be chargeable to do
tage, we cannot say. Certain it is
N1dh w III GA00 ~ Ills rep
utation by the change, because no
class of people admire an inconsis-
tency in the life of public man.
In Mr.. Gays present status he
seems to have turned his back upon
his old friends, and his now ones
will not put much confidence in his
sudden conversion. In the memor.
able struggle against slavery such
men as Garrison and Clay made re.
cords of which they could fee
proud, and it is with feeling o.
! sorrow that thousands will read the
announcement of Mr. CIay's present
determination. 1t seems to be {
weakness with too many of oul
great men that in their last years
they have to do something TO throw
q shadow over the best works O.
their lives. So this last act of Mr.
Clay's will prove to be ablot OH hi
heretofore unsullied fame.

aTOT. SHOOTING birds.
One Great Cause of IIae insect
HDlR&aeS.

O2e Nire0d Cause OF aIac nns%cI
HolnEaes.
For at least ten years the people
of Kansas have ruthlessly, reckless
ly and inhumanly hunted and shot
nearly all kinds of birds, especially
prairie chickens, quails, snipes,
plovers, etc. The game law has
been wilfully diszegarded as gen.
eral thing, and the birds hunted as
If they were the greatest pests that
infected the State. And as the
birds have decreased, the insects
have increased, until the farmers
are bitterly realizing the fact that
their best friends, the only creatures
who eat insect and insect eggs, have
been nearly exterminated, and the
insects left free to destroy every
successive crop.
All over the State q cry is going up
to stop shooting birds-no matter
what kind. And 1T is time. Provi-
dence provides the birds, and the
insects, and man, instead of trying
to help destroy the insects, turns
his attention to destroying the birds.
1t is sport. We wish that every
gun fired at bird the next ten years
In Kansas would kick and knock Oy-
er the fellow who fires it. The little
injury that birds do to crops or fruit
is nothing compared to the good
they would do if permitted without
molestation to eat up the insects.
This bird shooting "sport" ought to
be brought into such disrepute that
man would no more attempt it
than to steal a horse or set a hay
stack on fire. The law is useless
backed up by an oVerpowering pub
lie. opinion. The grangers, we are
glad to see, are moving in this mat
ter, and we trust that all citizens,
including those who have thought
lessly INDUCED in the pastime of
hunting birds, will see the absolute
necessity of suppressing bird shoot
ing and unite in condemning all
who are hereafter guilty of it.
