The heirs of Brigham Young have ap.
pealed to the Courts to protect them against
the greed of the Church. They assert that
out of the $L000,000 left by the Prophet
the Church authorities claim $99O,OOO.' It
is said that the executors named by Young
are disposed to consider the claims of the
Church first and of the heirs afterward.
The prospective legal fight will probably
lead to interesting developments.

From the London Daily Telegraph.
A report which has just been published by
Mr.. Victor Drummond on the ques ion of actual
or threatened American competition with Eng
lish industl, gives, in a very interesting form.
the Impressions of an intelligent official who
has no personal concern in the matter, but
views all the facts unprecedented man of
the world The conclusions at which he ar
rives are that as regards the CARRYING
trade, England ia in no danger from the RI
valry of the United States, if only because Of
the restrictive effects of the navigation laws in
force there, which prevent American capitalists
from buying foleign-built vessels, however
cheap, and therefore sailing them on as low
terms as Englishmen Swedes or Germans can
afford to do. If to these we add the heavy,
duties imposed on raw materials, we find
sufficient reasons why Americans cannot COM
pete with Englishmen in the cheapness of
shipping. As respects other industries, Mr..
Drummond confirms what was said over and
over again here during recent strikes, that
Englishmen have nothing to fear if they do
not quarrel over the cost of production that is,
if they reduce wages by amicable arrangement
whel ever market exigencies are seen to rem
der the step imperative. He points ont
the many difficulties by which American pro-
ducers are handicapped -rous taxes, numer-
meruus failures, the unsettled state Of the Ia
Dor market, the silver bill, and uncertainty as
to the r6sumD ton of specie payments, over
production, and the dangers of the commnnis-
tic movement. 1t is, he seems to think, these
causes which led to the competition of American
with English goods, .in'a small way. at home,
