SELECT LIST
LOCAL NEWSPAPERS.

Many persons 8 suppose this list to be
composed of CHEAP, low-price news
papers,. The Catalogue states exactly
what the papers are. When the name
Of a paper is printed in FULL FACE
TYPE it is in every instance the BEST
paper in the place. When printed IN
roman letters it is neither the best nor
on.y paper. but is usually a very good
one, Notwithstanding. The list gives
the population of every town aud the
circulation of every paper. IT'S NOT
A COOPERATIVE LIST. 1T Is NOT
A CHEAP LIST. At the foot of the
Catalogue for each State the important
towns which are not covered by the list
are enumerated. Is is AN HONEST
LIST. The rates charged for advertis-
ing are barely o. e-fith the publishers
schedule. The price for one inch four
weeks in the entire list is $685.. The
regular rates of the papers for the same
space and time are SO. l36. 80. The list

the declaration that the State Will de-
fy the courts rather than pay dollar.
The ahsolut' power for which the par
ty contendyd, under pretended anx-

the state with infamy and to render

Petty parIisau pret,t,itcpN,

We care very little about the paltry
subscription price of ten copies Of the
REPUBLICAN, sent to Dover during the
session Of the Legislature, for ia daily
ed ltion Of five thousand which makes
it the lpading paper Of the State in
point Of circulation, the trihe Of an in
crease or decrease Of ten copies for ten
or eleven weeks makes no perceptible
Change, but it is the spirit shown in
t IL attempt made by Mr.. Doran to re
fuse It's ADM slon to the Legislative
CHAMBERS that prompts response t.
the subject 1t seems to rs that a wise
legislator as Mr.. Dean remark ed
would want TO be kept posted in refer
ence to what the papers said about
needed legislation and legislation not
needed, and this knowledge cannot be-
more easily attained than by watching
the daily local papers, for they after all
are the retlectors Of the pnblic senti-
ment. A member of the ltgisture only
shows his incapacity TO perform the
duties Of his otiict when he attempts to
ignore all sources from which informa.
ton can be gained except those which
cNncide with Lis narrow partisan pre-.
judices. Such legislator is Away
ready to take the lead in extreme par.
tisan legislation, and hence is neither q
conscientious nor a safe legislator, and
We are sorry that Mr.. Doran at the out.
start of the session should have been
guilty Of an act that reflects such mar
row cramped up prejudices, that bis
influence beyond his mere vote will
have no weight, no matter what side Of
a question he may espouss. We are
I glad Of the result attained by this Ii =
tie skirmish in the House over the ad-
mission Of the REPUBLICAN,, for while it
brought out in bold relief and showed
to the gaze Of the pu6lic where narrow
partisan prejudces were concealed, il
at the same time reflected the
broad, fair, minded ideas which we are
glad to believe will prevail during tn,
nrpsnnt LpCiS latMre.

Down With POIygaMy.

After many years Of dilly.dallying
with the Mormon question by the Gov
eminent, IL. Supreme Court, the high
est judicial authority in the United
States, has Decided against 1t, which
discussion gives Congress full authority
under the Constitution IT, suppress ana
abolish polygamy in the Territories not
vet organized into sovereign states. 1t
il the drvout wish OF every respectable
man and woman in the nation now that
President Hayes will exert all the pow
er conferred on him by the constitution
to execute the laws of the United States
against the great social offence Of Utah,
and put speedy end to the beSu"l
Mormon crimes. which cry aloud 20
Heaven for redress, that law, morality,
common drr4ncy aud common sans"
may prevail. 1t i, y burning shame to
the nation that such a hestial sin vi.
der tire cloak Of religion should hae"
been allowed to fls'en Itself upon the
nation until in some Instances 1t has
lrird the whole power OF the govern
lnent to uproot it. When the laws %.
Congress are thoroughly executed and
polygamy rlrctua.ly pat under conrs"
Of extinction, then there should b"
convention Of the der'n. and resp"r;
ahl" people ot lral called to adopt a
constitution, and If that document shall
bt. found to hr in accordance with TIN
ORGANIC and sta,uarr laws Of the United

Court. then let H.. Territory OF Utah
y. admitted a. y state Of the Cuiou.-
For long tlma she has had the rrgul-
site population tof admission, but sh.
la, been kept out only on account Of
her polygamous iniqnIte1. In the
framing Of law for the holding Of 20
convention to torn State, care should
b. taken that persons who have here.
tofore prartirel poIygamy shall r.
nounce it rs tenet Of their religious

about in an iron clad oath, that they
will never. engage in aurh a sinful hes
tial habit again, and those VII" in d"
fance Of all Law continue to posseIS q

and punished severely. that other
may be- deferred from committing the

versaut with affairs in | tab, that al
that Is Necessary to remove this blot
from tn. bright esCi:tchron of our COun-
try is for the President to act prompt

The Electoral BilI.

The Democrats in Congress have
once more shown that they do not mean
TO b. fair in the next Presidential cleo
ton, by refusing to acrep' Senator Ed
munds' Electoral bill, which Is SO un-
Objectionable to the honest Democrats
that Senator Bayard gave it his hearty
support while it was pending IN the
Senate. The fact is, no iair-inlnded
or reasonable Democrat could possibly
find any objections TO it, but this Is not
what the Democrats want. They are
determined that if their candidate
should come even within . dozen
electoral votes of an election, to pu,
him in possession Of the Presidency,
possibly by fair means, if that would
answer the purpose as well, but to
make him President anyhow, even 1t
it requires foul means. The best lnen
Of all parties have declared that there
is nothing objectionable in the Ed
munds' bill, and that 10 more fair or
patriotic measure could be suggested,
and yet the House Committee on Elrc
t,on. has condemned il and will report
what is known az the Suuthail bill, a
decidedly Democratic measure, that
will not worl, any more satisfactorily

"TOO CAREFUL"

The Sacramento Bee tells this about
. mishap that befeil too careful wo-
man: HsviAg lost all faith in savings
banks. and being very DESTROYS of lay
ing up something for q rainy day. .
lady named Mrs Toomcy. who resides
on P street, between Sixteenth and
Seventeenth, recently set her wits at
work to study out secure place in
which she could conceal her savings
place where neither swindling bank
officials, nor any other kind Of thieves
could get at them. A brilliant idea
suddenly struck her. What better
place than the henhouse and, Of oil
the localities thereabout, which one
could DO better than in . hen's nest.
whc:e the money could DO concealed in
the hay. under the eggs. the last place
thief would think Of looking for any
thing Of value. Acting on the thought.
Mrs Tommy at once collected her saw
ings, amounting to $l20 in gold coin.
aud carefully concealed the same in the
nest or course. it was secure there,
she thought. But alas. for huma. ex-
pcctations. Mrs Toomey had been in
the habit. when thinking herself uuOb-
served. no doubt. Of going out and ex.
aiming her treasure. and thinking to
herself that she had at last outwitted
tho cormorants who desired to illegally
obtain her savings. On Thursday
morning. however. she went to tue hid
ing place. as usual. and was almost
parslysed to find that the eggs had
bsen taken from the nest. Further
search was promptly made for the
money. but 10! it had vanished also;
some thief having visited the premises
tho night before and carried away the
hen fruit md the money also. The
services OF the police were promptly
called. but oil 10 no avail. and now Mrs
Toomey mourns her loss with small
chance Of the cash being returned to
her.
