SPECIE BASIS.

Money is the life blood of all bust
ness. Its proper quantity and value
and its free uninterrupted circulation
for the purposes of trade and the pay
ment of debts, is absolutely necessa.
airy to the health and life of business
and also to the proper health and
life of men. Specie basis ignores
every one of these three great re-
%quirements OF money. Specie as a
sole dependence for money, is a bar
barism, but specie basis, or specie
payments, as the basis of currency,
is a fictitious refinement Of modern
civilization, whereby communities are
divided in two general classes, mobiles
and ~vassals, Or slaves. This specie
basis is the great Demi-God amongst
fables, fictions aud frauds. Its al
tars aIe stained with the blood of
more human fortunes, enjoymcnts,
hopes and virtues than all other affairs
in the wide range of modern super
and kingeraft, American
equality, American freedom, and the
republic, will very soon be
matters of the past, mere
names only, unless we can stay this
great arch enemy Of our institutions.

DOCTORS.

Let the law be strictly enforced.
There are, by far, too many would
be practitioners of medicine through
out the country, who are daily tri-
fling with the lives of their fellow
man, while they really know no more
of the principles of medicine than q
thomas cat knows of the scientific
evolutions he is soon to perform >in
passing through the butchers sausage
mill preparatory to his appearance on
the table.
We learn that some Of these self
constituted doctors have come to
''time" since the enactment ofthe law,
requiring the registration of physi-
clans. Il is hoped that the officers
whose duty it is to enforce this law
will not show any partiality, and will
''allow no guilty man to escape"

MORMONISM

The distinctive features of Nor.
monism are such that they cannot
lsng exist in the face of civilization
and immigration. There are now
more men than women under the rule
of the Mormon leaders, and a monop-
oily of the women cannot long be en-
dured by free men. Perhaps this
kind of monopoly is less supportable
than any other. The burdens OF
large families also must prove to severe
for the monopolists, and the women,
emulating the example of their Gen
tile sisters, and indulging in their
natural love of finery, must be ex-
pected to subject their polygamous
lords to much heavier expenses. The
tithing system must become another
intolcrable burden. When Mormons
see their Gentle neighbors paying
taxes to the secular government alone
while they are compelled to add to
their secular taxes the crushing weight
of Church tithes, they will be dispos-
eel to kick against the only burdens
of which they can rid themselves
of the Church.
These disintegrating causes are
evident and unavoidable. Bingham
Young restrained them to a remark
able extent, but it may be doubted
whether even he could have prevented
the natural operation much longer.
1t is hardly possible that any one
who may come after him can continue
system of repression. His son
and designated successor, John W..
although possessing good
and business ability, is not the
man for the task. A willingness to
submit to the enforcement of the laws
polygamy will first show the
downfall of that institution; then the
md of the tithing system must come
md then Mormonism, it's disturbing
eatures eliminated, will take Its
,lace among the other sects.

The poorest girls in the world are
those who have never been taught to
work. There are thousands of them.
Rich parents have petted them; they
have been taught to despise labor and
depend upon others for a living, and
are perfectly helpless. The most for
llorn women on earth belong to this
class. 1t belongs to parents to'pro-
ltect their daughters from this de-
lplorable condition. They do them a
great wrong if they neglect it. Every
daughter should be taught to earn
her own living. The rich as we'll as
the poor require this training. The
wheel of fortune rolls swiftly around
1.-THE rich are likely to become poor,
and the poor rich. Skill to labor is
no disadvantage to the rich, and in
dispensable to the poor. Well-to-dC
:. parents must educate their daughters
to work; no reform is more impera
> tive than this.

man can commit than that of being

ployer. Thy to make your service

THE CELEBRATION AT JONES
BURG.


We had the pleasure Of attending
the celebration at ~Jonesburg, on
Wednesday which in all respects was
a grand success and will long be re-
membered by all present. Early IN
the morning the people assembled at
the grounds selected, which were
well prepared, and by II O'Clock
there were at least q thousand people
on the grounds. There was a large
arbor at one end of which was the
speakers stand, at the left of which
was the music stand which was occu-
pied by the Warrenton Brass Band.
After music the first exercises was q
short address by Mr.. Dyer, of War
renton county, which was well deliv-
cred, then came dinner hour, and the
good citizens of J~onesburg and Vi
cinity, intending that non should go
unfed. came to the front with q most
elegant and bountiful dinner, every
thing in great abundance which was
spread out upon the grass and freely
, partaken of by all present, not one
being neglected. We before
t saw such hospitality. After dinner
/ the people were called to the arbor
5 by Capt. j. j. Skinner and Judge
Buckner was introduced and pro
+ ceeded to address them. We can
s not give n full report of the Judges
speech. but in brief will say that he

Lational. and in particular in relation
e to the financial and commercial inter
ests and condition of ourcountry and
our present needs, difficulties, trout

We observe that Mormons every
where, when interviewed as to the
effect of Brigham Young's death,
generally say in the course of their
remarks, as Elder Bywater, of Will
liamsburg, said the other day, to a
World reporter: awe shall some
time go back and live ~peaceably in
Jackson county, in MISSOURI, for the
Lord has spoken it. But this may
not he for many years." We think

care if that time is many years dis

THE DEATH OF BRIGHAM
YOUNG.

Brigham Young, the Prophet of
Utah, who for thirty-three years has
been the head of the Mormon reli-
gion, is dead. A man of great natur-
al ability, great force Of character,
and great powers of organization, he
has made his mark upon the history
of his country and his times. His
influence ON the Mormon church, on
the peculiar social system which be-
longs to it, and on the Territory of
Utah, has been controlling. His
powers as a spiritual leader and
church director were despotic; and
he has welded them in his way
through all the fortunes of his religion
since the murder of its founder,
Joseph Smith.
1t is understood that his successor
as President Of the Mormon Church
will I've the youngest of his ons by
his first and legitimate wife, his sor

in Bulgaria, the Russians are com.
PEELED reluctantly to admit that tho
Christian populations there whom
they desire to free from the Mussul-
mans are much better off than the
corresponding classes of the Russian
peasantry. Their fields stretch on,
broadly under bountiful crops of mel.
low grain; their barns are yet stocked
with last years hay; their villages
have four or five Christian churches
for every mosque; and in the enjoy
ment of these things they are quite as
secure under the loose rule of the
Sultans as they could ever hope to
he under the rigorous sway of the
Cars. At least, these are the OBJ
servatlons attributed to Russian OH
GERS by a correspondent ofthe London
News, a paper whose sympathies are
not with the Turks. On the whole.
Bulgaria does not appear to be a
lucky province for the Russians.

SIGNIFICANT STATISTICS

The costs to certain States of the
recent strike were as follows:
Pennsvlvania-Ten million dollars,
Illinois-Two hundred thousand
dollars.
Maryland-One hundred thousand
dollars, not including the bills for
contingencies.
Missouri-Less than three thous-
and dollars.
1t is a significant fact that while in
other States there was great d~estruc-
ton of property and loss of life, the
disorders in Missouri were suppress
ed without a single casualty.
And yet Carl Schurz calls Missouri
the robber State.
