Everlasting the Energies.

1t is not advisable for any of us to over
task our energies, corporal or mental, but
in the eager pursuit of wealth or fame or
knowledge, how many transgress this sal
utary rule. 1t must be matter of great
importance to all who do so to know how
they can regain the rigor so recklessly ex-
pended The remedy is neither costly or
difficult to obtain Hostetter's Stomach
Bitters is procurable in every city, town
and settlement in America, and it com
pensates for drain of bodily or mental
energy more effectually than any invigor-
ant ever prescribed or advertised. Labor
ing men, athletes, students, Journalists,
lawyers, clergymen, physicians, all hear
testimony TO lis wondrously renovating
powers. 1t increases the capabilities for
undergoing fatigue, and counteracts the
injurious effects upon the system of expo
sure, sedentary habits, unhealthy or wea-
rying avocations, or an insalubrious eli
mate, and is q prime Alternative, diuretic
and blood depurent.

1t is our purpose to ask names to a
petition designed for Congress, and we
hope, also, that every minister of the
Gospel will commend it to the women
of his congregation, and all Christian
associations will do what they can to
obtain signatures. With the cordial
cooperation and concerted action Of
the Christian women Of our land, we
may confidently hope that the great
sin of polygamy may be abolished.

AN IMPORTANT QUESTION.

The Christian and Hebrew ladies oil
Salt Lake have issued sensible adj
dress to the people of the United
States, imploring them to circulate
petitions asking Congress to enforce
the law Of 1852 against polygamy
The Mormon Church is comparative
ly young institution, yet its growth
has been so rapid, both numerically
and financially, that it is now a power
that may prove unsafe for the country
in which it is planted. The head men
of the disreputable institution, which
is carried on under the name of reti-
gion, are sharp financial and political
schemers, and, by keeping the masses
of the Mormon people in ig.
norance, manage to cheat them out of
most of their money, and use them as
they choose, politically. Besides the
naturally rapid increase Of the Nor
mons, ten thousand have been brought
from foreign countries during the past
year and distributed among the settle
ments. Arizona, New Mexico, Color
ado, Wyoming and Idaho are being
rapidly settled by them, and already
they control the Democratic party of
Idaho, which they expect to nominate
a Mormon for Delegate to Congress in
1880, as return for the support they
have given it in the past. That po-
litical party should be controlled by al
class of people who are living in open
and boastful violation of the laws of
the United States is disgrace, and
the people should rise in solid body,
and we believe they will, two years
hence and vote against the nominees
of the party that harbors the disgrace
ful organization. All persons joining
the Mormon Church are obliged to &C
cept polygamy in their code Of princi-
pies, and until the people Of the States
and Territories where it is being plant
ed unite and send men to Congress
that will urge some action against
the institution will gain
ground, and the longer action is post
poned the more difficult it will be to
it. We hope the appeal of
the ladies of Salt Lake will receive
from the people of Idaho,
and circulate petitions asking for the
enforcement of the law against poIyg
amy.

The late State elections show Re-
publican gains in the Northern States
with accounts of bulldozing and fraud
in the South. The Democratic loss in
the North is undoubtedly due to the
inconsiderate action Of Congress in in
shutting Investigations into frauds
perpetrated in the Presidential cleo
ton, the cipher dispatches, and the
shifting course Of the Democratic par
ty on the money question. Until the
Democratic party realizes the errors
Of its ways and adopts some honora-
bic course and maintains it, we may
expect nothing but defeat forit Two
or three years ago the hopes for Sc.
curing the control of the Government
were bright, but the outlook now is
very unsatisfactory.

ANTI.PoLYGAMY ADDRESS.

A Salt Lake dispatch of November
18th saws: The Gentle ladies of Salt
Lake held an anti-polygamy mass
meeting this afternoon at the Congre
rational church, which was largely
attended by ladies belonging to ali
the Christian churches, as well az the
Hebrew ladies. The following petit
ton was unanimously adopted:
To Mrs Rutherford B. Hayes and the
Women of the Cnitid States: 1t is
more than thirty years since polyga-
my was planted on the shores Of the
Great Salt Lake. During these years
Congress has utterly failed 10 enact
efficient or enforce existing laws for
the abolition of this great crime, and
we believe more of these unlawful and
unhallowed alliances have been con.
summated in the past year than ever
before in the history of the Mormon
Church. Endowment Houses, under
the name of temples, are being erect
ed in different parts Of the Territory,
costing millions Ii is impossible 10
ascertain the exact number OF polyg-
amous marriages, for they are con-
summatcd in these Endowment Houses
an institution no Gentle is permit
ted ~ enter: where brotherhood and
sisterh0od are scaled and bound by
oaths 50 strong that even apostates
will not reveal them, aud 10 maintain
which witnesses on the witness stand
unblushingIy pcrjurc themselves, and
on the jury violate all considerations
of oath and duty.
Considering all Surroundings, polyg.
amy has never taken such degrad-
ing aud debasjng f,rm in any nation
or among any people above the con-
dition Of barbarianS, as in Utah. Il
is degrading TO man aud woman, a
curse to children and destruction 10
the sacred relations OF the family,
upon which the civilization Of nations
depends. aud there are things that
cannot be repeated or printed that
reduces ihis system 10 the lowest form
II indecency.
That it should bc prac;iced in the
name and under the cloak OF religion;
that an apostle, polygamist, with
'our acknowledged wives, is permitted
10 sit in Congress, only adds to the
,Rormity Of the crime and makes it
more revolving to our common Chris
ian principles.
Our Legislature is composed almost
entirely of polygamists and members
If the Mormon priesthood, and they
rave thrown around polygamy every
possible Legislative safeguard in their
,ower, and the right of dover has
,sen abolished to break down the dis
inction between a lawful wife and
oncubine.
The Mormons are rapidly extending
heir settlements into Arizona, Idaho,
Jew Mexico and Wyoming. They
ave balance of power in two Terri
cries, and without doubt are plotting
Or it in the others.
We call upon the Christian women
{ tho United States to join us in urg-
lg Congress to empower it's courts to
rrest the further progress of this evil,
nd to delay the admission of Utah
ITO Statehood until this is accom-
lisIled, and VIC ask you to circulate
nd ublish our appca! in order to
rouse public sentiment, which should

KEARNEY AND BUFFERS DEFEAT.

| .OHICAGO, NOFCmUSl Clu.- uG a ISoo
special says: 1t is concluded on all
sides that Kearney contributed to But
Ie,s defeat, and he is in very bad
odor at the Generals headquarters.
McDavitt, Buffers manager, said to
Kearney last night: 81 hope you are
satisfied, now that you have done So
much to defeat u.s." Kearney, how
ever, takes different view, and says:
Butler owes his defeat to the fact
that he resorted to political wirepull-
ing, and trusted the management OF
the campaign to political bummers "
Kearney says he is prepared to organ
ize the different wards of the city III
the interests of the Workingmen, and
will nominate and elect son of toll
as Mayor. He says he has recog-
nized the mistake he has made in
STOPPING 10 any utilization with the old
political parties; that by working IN
dependently of all, the Workingmen
are sure to win.

Occasional Correspondence OF the Appeal

Occasional Correspondence OF the Appeal
CORONA, Triton COUNTY, June d.
Things in this vicinity are moving IN quiet
way. The farmers are working hard, with
buoyant hopes as to the result this fall; and
! know of no reason why they should not be
hopeful. They are in better condition than
for many years past. Those that are forced
to rely upon the merchants, are obtaining
their supplies at much lower rate than since
the war. Crops, as a general thing, are good.
Cotton, notwithstanding the many rains, looks
well, is forming finely and is mostly clean.
There Is some grass, but 1t has not injured
the crop, and with few days of clear and
hot weather every planter would have his
crop in splendid condition. Corn is as good
as we could ask for, greater part of which
is laid by. Labor Is very good and plentiful,
much better than last year. There are no
Murphys among US as yet; cannot say
how soon there may be. They seem to
think we are past all redemption,
because we live in the Devils Elbow" but
can assure them we are not, and will yield as
soon to their persuasions as any people In our
county that they have visited. Politics does
not disturb our slumbers, as we are of one
family IN Upton county-Democratic We
have always gone that way, and do not ex-
pect to depart from the principles of our an
cestors. We are willing that the investiga-
tons at Washington should 90 on, but cannot
see any good that will arise from it, except
t., expose more fully what has long been
known-the most stupendous fraud that was
ever perpetrated upon a free people. |
should think Mr.. Hayes would blush unceas-
ingly when he knows that he is not the choice
of the people, but holds his Office as a usurp-
err, though he himself may not have known
at the time that such was the case, but he
certainly does now, and to make amends, as
an American of honor, should come down
and out. This investigation may he the
means of our having a fair deal In 1880, for
no honest men, no matter of which party
they are, can help but denounce the course of
the Republican party in our last election.
Many say Hayes should be praised; he has de
livered the south, and his southern policy is all
we could have asked. l cannot think man
should be praised or awarded for doing his
sworn duty, and certainly he has done moth
ing more in anything he has ever done for
the SOUTH Are we to be restricted of all our
rights and browbeaten because we are the
south? We should have as much voice and
as many privileges as any other part of this
Union. We pay for it by taxation, and have
paid for it dearly in the past by the robbery
of the carpetbaggers when they ruled. I hope
your ticket may be successful, but you have
too many Independents in the field who claim
to be Democratic, but not enough to retire.
Those who are not for US are against us
