The Boy Who was Thirsty.

Moreover, saw the boy who wanted
drink-a restless, questioning, uneasy,
thirsty boy. He let the window fall on
his fingers before the train had gone a
mile. He stood out on the platform un-

with ashes and dust and cinders. He
went to the water cooler and got drink

drink as though he had wrapped his
stomach in the desert of Sahara, glaring
suspiciously over the top of the cup at
the waiting passengers as he drank.
When he was in his seat, he watched the
aisle narrowly, and if he saw any passen

cooler, he would jump up and race for it,

snore over the cup until the thirsty
traveller forgot what he went down there
after. People began to wonder how
much the boy was gauged for, and if he
wasn't rather straining his capacity.
The remotest hint or suggestion was
enough to send him to the cooler.
When the train ran over creek, the
water made him think of his thirst.
When it ratified over a long stretch of
dry prairie, the absence of water drove
him mad. 1 was afraid the supply of
water would give out before the boy was
filled up, and he was a rather small boy,
too. His interior circumferences, 1
think, must have inclosed an area
double in extent by the exterior belt.

fool. Her eyes snapped when she heard
my careless and innocent remark, she
took in every syllable of it, and she
turned on me in a flash with, 81 wish
you would mind your own business and
leave my boy alene!"
A low, mocking murmur of applause
went through the car, little of it for
the indignant mother, some of it for the
charity boy, but most of It for me. She
suppressed yours truly very successfully,
but it was too late. Long before she
finished chat brief sentence her boy was
at the water cooler holding his eyes to

while he flooded his system as though
he had taken contract to keep up a

THE BONDAGE OF BIGAMY.
Appeal by the GENTLE Women of Utah
40 Their Sisters of The Republic-A
Movement for the ExtirpatiOn of Nor
m0nfsm.

The following was adopted at a meeting of
the non-Mormon women of Salt Lake City
one day last week.
To MRS. RUTHERFORD b. HAYES AND THE
WOMEN OF THE UNITED SrATES:-It is more
than 80 years since poiygamy was planted on
the shores of the Great Salt Lake. During
these years congress has utterly failed to enact
efficient or tnforce existing laws for the abol-
ition of this great crime, and we believe that
more of these unlawful and unhal-
mated the past year than ever before
in the history OF the Mormon Church. Endow
ment houses under the name of temples are
being erected In different parts OF the territory
costing millions. IL is impossible to ascertain
the exact number OF poIygamouS marriages,
for they are consecrated in these endowment
Observation-Disclosures no gentle is permitted to
enter-where the brotherhood aud sisIerhoOd
are sealed and bound by oaths so strong that
even apostates will not reveal them, and 10
mention which witnesses on the witness stand
unblushingly peIjure themselves, and in
jury violate all considerations OF oath and
amy has never taken such degrading and
debasiug form in any nation or among any
people above the condition of barbarians as in
Utah. 1t is degrading to man and women.
upon which the civilization of nations
be repeated or printed that reduce the system
to the lowest form OF lndecency. That 1t
should be practiced in the name and under
the cloak of religion, and that an apostle OF
poligamy, with Tour acknow edged wives, Is
permitted TO sit in congress, only adds to the
enorrnity of the crime, and makes Ii more re-
voting to our common Christian principles.
Our legislature is composed almost entirely OF
polygamists and members of the Mormon
priesthood, and they have thrown around
polygamy every possible safeguard in their
power, and the right of dover has beer abol-
Ished TO break down the distinction between
the lawful wife and concubine. The Mormons
are rapidly extending their settlements into
Arizona, Idaho, New Mexico. and Wyoming
They have the balance of power In two
territories, aud are without doubt plotting
for 1t in the other. We cali upon the Christian
women of the United States to join us in
urging congress to empower the courts to ar
rest the further progress OF this evil, and to de-
lay the admittance OF Utah into state hood
until this is accomplished, and we ask you to
circulate and publish our appeal in order to
arouse public sentiment, which should be
against an abomination that peculiarly OPP
presses and stigmatizes woman. IL is our pur-
pose to ask names to a petition designed for
congt ess, and we hope also that every minis
ter of the gospel will commend Ii to the wo-
men of his congregation, and that all Chris
tian associations will do what they can to OBJ
tain signatures With the cordial co-opera-
ton and concerted action of the Christ an
women of our land, we may confidently hope
that the great sin Of polygamy may be abol-
ished.

THE FUTURE OF POLITICAL PAR
TIES.

Permanently there will be no third party
in American politics. The third party is
always ephemeral short lived-usually a
party Of one idea, one purpose; wanting in
scope, breadth, depth and grasp, and forced
into prominence by some error of one or
both of the two great contending parties of
the country, to disappear when the error is
corrected. Sometimes the third party is
the direct outgrowth of some visionary
utopian project, such as legislating men in toa
peculiar form of religion or by statute compel
men to regulate their habits of life. The
sober thought of the people always sets such
things right in the end when two parties
only are left to contend for the mastery. As
the case now stands there are three parties
democratic, radical, and national. The radi-
cal party is pledged to such notifications
and changes 10 the government as will
eventually rob the people of their rights and
liberties. 1t favors a strong gov
eminent. as that term is under

are rothing and kings and mobiles everything,
and it now has its candidate for president in

world Radicslism fosters the military in
stead of the civil power, and favors large
standing armies 10 staud guard over the peo-

The radical party believes there is a law.for

er and superior to constitutions which EN-
body the sovereign will OF the people, and it
stands ready 70 appeal 70 it for partisan az
gTandizsment. The radical party, like
tie old federal party, is moDarchicsl
in its theories and tendencies, and
every page of its history demonstrates
the truth OF the charge. 1t has no
faith in manhood suffrage, and, If it had the
power, would unhesitatingly deprive poor
men of the ballot; and every utterance in
that direction that has been made has been
by prominent men OF the radical party.
This accounts for the class legislation which
has been prominent feature OF radical rule

grasp of the money power upon the reve-
nues Of the country. regardless OF the wei.
fare of the people. Such party can not
long exist in free country. If it lives and
maintains its supremacy 1t must be at the
expense of liberty. Its continued supremacy
means the reinforcement of the sovereignty
of the people and the substitution of themil-
itary for the civil power. The people wit
Messing this tendency commenced some
years since the work of removing
the radical party from power, and 1t
has gone brayely forward until the final tri-
umph is near at hand. Now, then, we ask
why this change-this revolution in public
sentiment? 1t is for the reasons we have
enumerated in part and for crimes such as
never before stained the record Of any gov
eminent within the range of authentic his
tory. The dethronement of the democratic
party was a national calamity which figures
are powerless to represent. 1t was due
to tidal wave OF fanaticism
that swept over the country,
crested with fire and blood, before which
constitutions and law, peace and order, went
down, and passion and hate were enthroned.
II was a deluge of curses, lava tide that
withered and blistered and scorched every
field of prosperity; that dried up every
fountain of love, finally placing supreme
authority in the hands of Grant and his
retinue of thieves, who in due time, by the
logic of villainy, enthroned Hayes. The
recall of the democratic party to
= NH oh
of his country should hail with accla-
nations of devout thanksgiving. 1t is some
thing higher and better than a partisan
triumph. 1t lays hold OF the deep laid
foundations of the government; it grasps the
grandest truths of the constitution and re-
supremacy of which led the country from
glory to glory in the halcyoa days of its
growth and prosperity, and which
must prevail if the republic en-
dures. Under democratic rule the states
will revolve in their shining orbits
around their constituted center, exercising
all the rights not delegated TO the general
government. There is absolutely no such
hing as killing the democratic party, for it
is the party of the people and of the consti-
tuition. 1t is the party of right and of justice,
of honesty and frugality, and the republic
can not endure without the principle it ad-
vocates being supreme. Radicalism has at
tempted its humiliation on more than
one occasion. 1t has heat its furnace
of hate for the qualification of its malignity
seven times hotter than for any other pur-
pose, but the democratic party walked
amidst the flames without the smell Of fire
upon Its garments to come forth better pre-
pared by the ordeal to maintain invlolable
the rights of the people. Such a party can
not be permanently suppressed, and its final
triumph over radicalism is inevitable.
