prompted them to send to the very
body whose laws they defied one of the
most conspicuous members of their
outlaw organization. Mr.. Cannon may
be in all other respects fit to sit in con-
gress, but the facts that he represents D
polygamous system and is himself a
polygamist should long ago have bought
him to the bar of outraged law. Public
opinion itself has been much too lenlent
with his individual ofense, and now
that the subject is brought up it is, quite
fit that there should be II most distinct
and emphatic expression as to polyga-
my IN general, and upon such instances
of its defiant practice as his conduct
presents. Anticipating no such con-
tinuance in q practice at once sinful
and criminal, the American people had
hoped to'see natural Influences sweep
away what remained of polygamy, but
they are sharply confronted with evil
dence that it was never more full of
IFS evil Vitality, Practical measures are
needed. Utah, fortunately, is not a
state, but q territory; it may be treated
to such legislative remedies as congress
sees fit to apply, and the time has come
when, upon a review of the history Of
the case, public opinion will not simply
support, but will demand an effective
enforcement of the act of 1862. or
further and more vigorous laws of like
character, such as will stamp out the
Utah system as moral pest and ma
tional disgrace. s.H Hnt g"n.. .+,t7s-s

There is always an eVltable token

Your bosom friend may not know Of

do-wells to an acre in Washington than
you can find in the same space in any

Ihay muster and concentrate. 1t is not
strange. Here only are the granaries of
the government, at whose overt1oWlng
cribs they hope for a chance to feed.
The people who have nearly but never
succeeded, and who hope for the one
more final chance; the people who have
failed utterly and are seeking a last
covert; the people whose featherly
brains qulver with mighty schemes,
which, in their judgment, needs moth

your befogged brain what is the matter.
Is it tired with study? with taking a
mental treasure? with giving out intel
lectual stories to replenish mankind
Nothing of the sort. You have not
added one iota to the worlds riches, nor
are you likely to, till you can breathe in

are simply worn out, listening to miser-

For Parents to Think about.
Rochester IN. " Democrat.

: .lI
This leads us to repeat what we said
a week or so ago. when commencing
on the work of Anthony Comstock in
suppressing the devilish traffic in OBJ
scene literature, that parents are'in a
large measure responsible, because they
allow a, foolish prudery to stand IN the
way Of the utmost frankness with their
children on these subjects. Instead of
afectionately instructing and cleverly
cautloning them on the evils which in
evitably await q perverted use Of the
passions, they relegate that work to
the child itself, and under the fatal
stimulus of low-miliLed companions,
the boys and girls Of our most sagacious
and cOmmOn-sense parents lmblbe the
most frightful notions from the most
exciting and .demoralizing books of
quacks who play upon the natural
symptoms Of growth, and brighten the
innocent and untainted into acts of
desperation, which heap multiplied ills
upon them. This is also shameful
mistake. 1t is time to speak out against
it. Family physicians should, if par
ents cannot, take this delicate matter
in charge, and adroitly, but effectively
and who can be more effective in such
instruction ?-expiain the nature Of the
reproductive instinct and fearIessly and
conscienciously indicate the certain
pollution Of death that waits on those
who violate the most sensitive and
vengefui of all physiological laws.
But, done Or not done, the parents
must not forget that they are at least
particeps criminals with the child, if
they evade the performance of at once
the most delicate and important of all
duties Of training up child in the way
it should go, that it may not depart
therefrOm except at its own peril. - ----

HAPPY DARKIES.
Seven Hundred Slaves on Cuban
.... I'd. Plantation Sci Free. ... "a
New York Tribune.

..;ff .s, New York Tribune .. r. ,,...4
An account was given in SATURDAYS
Tribune of the release of eighty slaves
at Santiago de Cuba, by the widow of
Senior Antonio Fernandez Bramorsio,
and news of a similar act of generosity
on the part of a wealthy planter iof
Cuba has just reached this city. Senior
Miguel Adams, a, millionaire, and par
tial owner o. seven plantations, who
was exiled from Cuba in 1869, on &C
count Of sympathy with the insurgents,
owned, with his brother-in-law, about
two. thousand slaves. After his Danish
ment he came to this city, and his pro-
perty was confiscated by the Spanish
government. During his exile he went
to Europe, and while in Paris had the
necessary papers prepared before q
French notary, setting free the seven
hundred slaves, which, according to his
fathers will, were to fall to his share as
co-heir with the marquis of Montello,
his brother-in-law in the division Of the
large estate. This deed he had exc
gifted and recorded on behalf of the
London Abolition Society TO the ex-
ecutive board of the society he deliver
ed it at the time in order that the Mad
rid government might be informed of
his wishes. To the efforts of the Abo-
lition society, seconded by the British
foreign office, the government of Spain
lnterposed the plea that the state of war
in the island, and the fact that the
property was ,confscated and therefore
out of the control of Senior Aldamo,
precluded the execution of the deed,
pledging itself, however, that should
peace be restored, and a return ofpro,
perty decreed to the exiled Cubans, the
project might be carried out. The for
eign office and the Abolition Society
were compelled to submit to this.
Since the restoration of peace in the
island through the Zanjou capitulation,
and the decree of Gen. Campos, .restor-
ing to the rightful owners all conhscated
property, it has become possible to carry
out this humane plan, and the fact is
for the first time made public that
Senior Aldamo has recently set free the
seven hundred slaves which he owned
in Cuba. s.. .. ..,.t. f~.,...,.
1t is now said that in all probability
the other members of the family, hold
