I regular habit Of body are the best safe
Guards against such maladies, and both are
secured by this inestimablc tonic and al

s;erviceable in remedying such disorders.

The Mormon Prosecutions.
POLITICS AND MORALITY,

The prosecution of Mormons in Utah terri
tory, now in progress by United States authori-
ties, is under section 1852 OF the revised statues
This statute is in effect that every person hav-
ing husband or wife living, who marries an
other in territory or other place over which
the United States have exclusive jurisdiction is
guilty of bigamy, and shall be punished by a
fine of not more than $500, and by imprison-
ment for a term OF not more than nine years:
the provisions Of the statute not applying to
marriages made previous TO its enactment.
The law was passed July 1St, 1862. Since then
the M0rmOnS in Utah have gone on marrying
and giving in marriage as they did previous to
It's enactment. No prosecution of them has
been instituted until now. One reason may
have been that ii is extremely difficult to pro-
cure evidence against Brigham Young's fol-
lowers In their own territory. Another was the
presence Of the case of Lee and the other
Mountain Meadow murdererS. For years before
Lees trial and conviction this great murder
case took up most OF the attention and great
portion Of the time of the L. s. officials in that
territory. They had to work very hard to procure
testimony against him. After his conviction
ana execution the officials had time to pay at
tentlon TO something else, and it is understood
by direction OF the Attorney General began
work on the bigamy cases. They have had up
hlll work OF 1t. The Mormons with but few eN-
ception stick together and take up for one
another. Under these circumstances it is al
most impossible to secure evidence OF biGamouS
marriages gentleman from Salt Lake. for
merry Z. $. Official, said to-day to a reporter
OF The STAR: "The activity shown by the dis
tT1ct attorney in prosecuting these cases at this
particular time is very likely due to politics as
well as TO desire to execute the laws. At the
coming elections delegate to Congress to sue
ceed Mr.. Cannon Will be elected. Mr. Cannon
is Mormon and elected by Morlnons who are
bigamiStS. The GentileS OF course want one OF
their party in his place. If a number OF biga-
miStS can be convicted before the elections. the
Gentiles will stand good chance Of returning
their man."

The November Elections.
BOTH SIDES CLAIMING A VICTORY IN ADVANCE.
There are two ways Of looking at every thing.
THE DEMOCRATIC VIEW.


Ihere are two ways Of looking at everything.
THE DEMOCRATIC VIEW.
A member of the democratic campaign COM
mittee said last evening to a reporter of THE
STAR" The reports from the various states
and congressional districts in which elections
are to be held on Tuesday next, received at the
headquarters of the democratic congressional
committee, leave no doubt of complete demo-
cratic victory in most of the states and districts
The democratic majority in the next House will
not be less than forty. Leading republicans
already cOncede a majority of thirty. Intelli-
gence from Pennsylvania is highly favorable
feated by the democrats and greenbackerS on
the state and legislative ticket, giving the demo-
Gratis the election Of a successor to Senator
Cameron. The latest reports at republican
headquarters concede that the democrats will
elect one member of Congress in New Hamp-
shire, and that the democrats aud greenbaekers
Will elect majority of members of the legiSla-
ture, which will give them the choice OF Sena-
tor to succeed Wadleigh."
THE REPUBLICAN VIEW.
At the headquarters OF the republican COM
mittee the reporter this morning learned that
the republicans will carry New Hampshire, get
the governor and the choice of the next Senator:
that there was no chance whatever for the DEM
ocrats in Pennsylvania; that they and the green
hackers will be defeated by the Stalwart repub-
lican party by thirty or forty thousand majority.
1t was reluctantly conceded that the next House
will be democratic, but by ''a very small major
llS. u >outH Cdiollnit, ueSple tlie Uull-uoLiLSs
and intimidation, it was thought that one if not
two republican members would be returned to
Congress. AS a general thing, ''sOlid SOUTH
was conceded. Elsewhere, however, no cOnces-
SOnS are made. From the reports received
every confidence is expressed as to the results
of next Tuesdays elections. The statement
that leading republicans concede democratic
majority OF thirty in the next House was pro-
nOunced a campaign visiOn.'
1t would thus appear that reliable prObabil-
tiles can always be had on application at the
headquarters OF either party. The STAR reader
pays his money and takes his choice.
