The National Bank notes pay

enteen million dollars every year.
Greenbacks are not taxed. Mr..
Dickey declares that he will vote to
wipe out the bank notes that are
taxable, and substitute greenbacks

tax to make up the deficiency? Will
he tax -four, or meat, or coal? but
whatever he taxes, the consumer
must eventually pay.

The editor of the Ohio State Reg
lister Dem.) refuses to express an
opinion on the O'Connor law regu-
lating the Soldiers and Sailors Or
phans' Home at Xenia, for the reas-
on that the law has not yet been of
fcially published, and he is not
bound to know the law until it is so
published. This is so ingenious,
original and effective an arrange
ment that we look to see it general
ly adopted by the Democratic press.

ANOTHER BLOW At POLYGaNY.

The nuisance and crime of Polygamy in
Utah. and in those territories into which Nor
monsm has extended, dies hard. The new
bjll proposed to the House Of Representatives
by Mr.. Luttrel, of California, now in the
hands of the Judiciary Committee, il another
attempt TO suppress this evil, which, for several
reasons thc Act of Congress now in f0sce has
failed adequately to remedy. The present law
makes the polygam0us marriage itself the
crime, and prosecution under il il barred by
the general statutes of limitation after
the expiration OF two years. Mr.. Luttrelr 4
proposed law makes continuous cohabitation
the gist Of the offence, and proof of it
a proof of Il marriage. II puts ont of the case,
as necessary testimony, the register and GER
tiiicate, and il makes of no account the Rwiit
evidence of those whose intcrcs. ii is to COM
nit perjury BY way Of penalty. it provides
for a fine, in each case of conviction, of $500,
and imprisonment for not more than five years.
Mormon wives win no longer be able TO swear
their unlawful husbands out of trouble by de-
nying any marriage relation. This they have
been constantly in the habit of doing before
the Grand Jary, AMI consequently indictments
for polygamy have virtually become impossible.
The new bill does no more than rcaiiirm prin-
ciplcs Of evidence accepted in almost all
Christian and civilized States.
Even this provision, however, would DE in
sufficient TO sccurc conviction without thor
ough change Of the jury system in Utah,
which viii be effected by another law pro-
posed by Mr.. Luttgell. This provides that no
bigamist or polygamist shall be permitted to
act as 4 juryman in cases of prosecutions
under the law above set forth No man with
more than one wife will be allowed to pass
upon the guilt or innocence of Il man indicted
for marital misccllaneousness and juror

VUY TRdUPS ARE NUMEROUS.

In plain, straightforward letter from the
Hon. Galusha A. Grow, printed on another
page, an answer is given to the question,
What makes so many trampsf Mr.. Grow dis
poses at once of the absurd notion that
contraction of the currency has Oc-
casioned hard times. The figures indeed point
to Just the opposite conclusion, since the vol
umc of the currency was considerably greater
in 1873, 1874 and 1875, than in tho two years
of unreal prosperity preceding; and the highest
amount of currency was afloat in 1874. These
figures should silence. il anything could, the
harmful but widespread nonsense to the ell
feet that our woes have been due to cOntrac-
ton of the currency. The unlimited expan-
sion which the silver advocates urge, would
evidently give us 10 help whatever.
Mr.. Grow furnishes striking proof that the
troubles in business, the stoppagc of factories,
and the utter want of employment for vast
numbers of wOrkmon. must be ascribed to the
excess of manufacturing and other industries
over the power OF the people to consume. In
all other departments Of industry the
growth had been beyond all precedent
in times of peace, while in agrlcul-
turc the increase during ten years-frOm 1860
to 1S7O-was only 1i2 per cent. The produc-
ton of coal and iron was simply enormous; /;
all kinds of manufactures had largely in
creased; the imports were excessive; but the
amount of land devoted to farming remained
unchanged.
The moral is obvious. The limit OF con-
sumption has been reached and Overpassed
We cannot by any jugglery in finance enable
the Nation to consume the excess the people
cannot spend more than they earn. The unem-
ployed workmen cannot, and need not hope to,
find work in mines or factories for long while
to come. except where business is managed with
the srictest economy. II the pressure should
drive large numbers out Of our cities ard COM
pei them to work in the fields, the whole Ma
ton would be benefited, while honest toll
would attain its fair reward

,cTITE UOREHOTSES.

The State Charities Aid Association has pre-
pared bill, lately introduced in the Senate by
Judge Robertson. which proposes for the State
a definite policy in dealing with the problem
of vagrancy. The leading idea Of the plan is
not new one, but the details of it
are of considerable interest. Probably
the first objection which will he made
TO it will bo that it proposes to
erect new State Office. and oppar-
entity increase the number of departments in
the State Government. But this point Is not
very serious, as will be seen. The bill provides
for the appointment by the Governor and
Senate of n Superintendent of Warehouses;,
who is To receive s;sary smaller than that of
tho other two State officers, whose titles his
somewhat resembles. This officer il To cstab-
lish, 1T such points as he deems best and with
the approval Of the State Board Of Charities,

duty Of all Justices OF the peace, police
justices, and other magistrates, to COM
nit vagrants The buildings for this purpose
are to be hired, aud the number Of them is
lief; TO the discretion Of the Superintendent
and the State Board of Charities, with the
reservation that, if only two shall be hired,
they shall be in different counties aud that, IN
every case, the different sexes shalt be con-
fined in separate buildings.
The sentence for . fret conviction of va
crancv il To be not less than ninety days nor
more than six months; on n second 'convic
ton, not less tnan six months nor more
than one yeat; and on a thiid conviction
il is made the duty Of the magistrate
to commit without specifying the term for
which the vagrant shall be detained. Each
yaeTant will he the subject OF an account with
the State, in which he will be charged with
the cost Of his maintenance, and credited with
the value Of his labor, and. if there should be
a balance in his favor at the time of his
DISCHARGE il viii be paid To him. Ii is made
unlawful to commit any person under six
teen wears of age to State wOrkhouse. The
Superintendent is empowered to appoint the
keeper of each workhousc and pass upon his
appointments for subordinate positions, and fix
all salaries and is made directly responsible
for the management OF the entire system. TO
get it in operation, an appropriation of
$4,000 is asked.
There may be particulars in which this plan
is defective, but it seems to afford the most
practical way of dealing with tramps that has
yet been suggested. Some method must be
devised Of capturing or scattering this rowing
army of idlcrs and thieves, and unless some
one produces better, this must he considered
the best. This plan would, ut least, compel
yagIants to support themselves for few
months, and would keep their hands from

was his only possible avenue of escape but
it seems unlikely that he has succeeded in
carrying 10000 men with him, or that he has
already reached Drama, which is not far from
the borders of Thessaly. 1t may still turn out
that the greater part of his forces have been
captured or scattered in all directions.

only considerable Turkish army is that quar-
tered along the line of Rustchuk, Rasgrad and

The Russians are ct last in Adrianople, and
the Grand Duke Nicholas, with Server and
Namyk Pashas, may be expected to arrive
there in day or two. The negotiations pre-
liminary to an armistice will probably be brief,
since the Grand Duke is in a position TO die
tate his own terms and, unless they are 80
exorbtant as TO provoke protest from other
Powers. the Ottoman Government must, per-
force accept them. The usual uneasiness OF
England, and the highly diversified rumors
from Vienna, still continue; but we cannot

suspected of the offence may be challenged
and required to answer as to the facts upon
oath. Moreover, those believing it morally or
legally right to have more than one wife at
the same time, will be ineligible. This seems
to be a simple precautiOn, and the wonder IS
that it has not before been resOrted to.
There is every reason to hope that by the
adoption of these judiciOus measures, about
which there is nothing in the least arbitrary
or unfair, some advance may be made in sup
pressing custom which, SO long as it shall
exist at all, will be disgrace to the country
and an opprObrium to our civilization. 1t is
fifteen years since Congress undertook to break
up the harems of Utah, great political party
having pledged itself to battle against polyga-
my and slavery as twin relics OF barbar-
"ism" Slavery is gone, but its brother in
shame and iniquity still remains, and deiies
the whole legislative and judicial authority
of the Republic The crafty leader OF the
Mormons went to his grave in manner tri-
umDhant, kept all his wives to the last, and
exhOrted his disciples to do rs he did. They
will obey his advice to the letter, so long as
techncalitics can avail them, and they are
allowed to pass upon an offence winch they
are themselves continuously committing. The
new laws proposed are undoubtedly needed,
and they will probably be found effective.
This is more than can be said of the law OF
1862, which has clearly outllved its useful
ness if it ever had any.

The advance of the Russian armies across
the Balkans, in the dead Of Winter, was not
only al equally prompt and daring military
operation, but one which has told with crush

position at the lkh,iman Pass was turned. he
seems TO have fought only 10 delay the
invaders and secure his retreat he has made
no vigorous stand anywhere, nor fought with
that desperation which he has hitherto mani
tested when there was a hope of success.

detzky's cavalry, is now rumOred 10 have fed
