THE IMMORAL MORMONS.

The Baltimore Sun says that it
has never been denied that the
Mormon system is founded on gross
immortality. founded on the very
principles which will emasculate and
destroy the instinct of conscience,
and cot away the elements upon
which all society rests. Claiming
to be a religious faith, it allows
falsehood, systematizes licentious-
ness, overlooks murders, vitiates
trial. by jury, and vests in single
selfish and sensual chief the supreme
interests of d large community. As
we'll light the sect in India which
makes murder religious duty be
considered entitled to the benefits
Of freedom of conscience as Nor
moui>m. This abominable system
sprung from the same hotbed in
western New York of fanaticism
which has cngendered so many
other crimes against the prosperity
aod happiness of mankind. While
slavery and Mormonism have been
pronounced by fashionable pbilan-
thrcpi>ts twin barbarisms," it has
been found practicable to put down
the one at the expense Of a million
Of lives, while it has taken twenty
years to bring one Mormon Thug
to his just deserts. While States
oi the South are garrisoned by
troops which uphold policies OF
government that have no founda-
ton upon tile will Of the people,
the g-ea. and growing Territory of
Utah is allowed to be the field, unS
disturbed, of a system that dis
! @raceS TIE nation and humanity,
and that would not be permitted
10y any other civilized government
IN the word to exist for an hour.
In reading the accounts of the
| Mountain Meadows massacre, COM
pairing it with the atrocities OF the
communists in Paris, it would be
hard to decide whether atheistical
or religious fanaiicism is the worse
enemy of mankind.

A THRILLING EPISODE IN A WESs
TERN NEWSPAPER OFFICE.
We don't wish to say much about

We don't wish to say much about
it but even skirmish with ON edi
tor must be written up. Alter
reading our article last week, Drt
Bently came and interviewed ne.
He brought few friends along to
see him eat US up, with his hand'
tied behind him. He did not like
the reading OF our last article. and
we don't blame him. for there were
a few sayings in it which were
little severe. But he locked arms
with US, and we waltzcd around
The room with him to the tune Of
high words, and to the infinite de-
light of the spectators. His hands
were not tied very tight, either.
There were numerous chairs and
other furniture in the room which
were speedily demolished and put
ont OF tie way. The Doctor got
frantic and kicked over q two gall
fon jag of ink, which of course We
didu't like, because it was new ink.
and besides it spoiled the looks
of the floor. We took the Doctor
for sponge and mopped the ink
up as quickly az possible That's
what made the Doctor mad. &c
then showed over a chair and we
rolled around for a while, and
then we begun to feel like fight.
and we don't doubt but what we
would have had a quarrel very
soon but the Doctor suddenly con-
cluded he didn't care whether we
took back what we said or not.
and as there was not any prospect
Of our taking it back right off, lie
concluded to quit just as we had
got ready 20 begin. After the
whole affair was over we felt sorry
that it had begun, but as it was
none of cur instigating we could
not help it.-Rush City Minnesota

AMERICAN M4NCPACTCRES DLSPLA-
CHG ENGLISH GOODS ABROAD.
WHAT OUR MERCHANTS COULD DO WITH A
LITTLE MORE ENTERPRISE.

The twelve thousand cotton mill opera.
tives now striking at Bolton, England, offer
to work on short time, which practically
reduces tue amount OF their wages while
nomnally keeping up the old rates. They
attribute the depressed condition Of trade
in cotton goods in a great measure to
American competition, and believe the diff
ficulty can onl, be remcdied by diminishing
the British production. In point Of fact,
the fiiculty lies far deeper. For years
Great Britain has soRghL everywhere to |
attic competition by means OF cheap labor, |
shoddy cloth, cinder iron, and cottons that
| lose a third Of their weight on their first
| immersion in the tub.
The Chinese and Japanese are beginning
to understand that American cottons are
more honestly made than the British.
Heretofore England has bad almost mon
Opoly of those Eastern markets for cotton
goods, and che has flooded them with the
products of Lancashire mills. The tendency
now la toward American cOttous as being
more durable and more elegant in design.
1t is entirely matter of quality aud price,
not matter of overproduction. American
houses established in China aud Japan are
now Furnishing superior and more elegant
article al the price which 10 asked for the
inferior British fabrics. There is no real
reason why q considerable portion OF EDg
| lands export trade should not fail into our
, hands. The people of Japan show the
, strongest desire to extend their business
, relations with this country. We take fully
three fourths of all the tea Japan exports
> Is it too much to assume that under this
! close and constant relationship of trade
/ honestly made American cottons will, al
the same price, soon supplant the heavily
3 sized English fabricsf
! The United States, estimated by the bali
/ of it's products, ranks second among the
{ cotton manufacturing countries of the
{ world. For the year ending Oct. l, 1876
D England consumed L ,27O, 2s7 900 pounds o
