foreign debt. Assuredly it cannot be expected
that under such circumstances large shipments
of specie will long continue.
Undoubtedly, the immediate cause OF gold
shipments is that United States and railroad

ton and new combination of railroads,
special demand has arisen here for O large
amount of bonds and stocks which have been
until recently almost unknown in the market
and many of these are also held abroad
The capitalists who require the pos

carry out their plans can afford to offer, and

anything publicly known of the condition ana
prospects of the roads would warrant. Hold
ers here are generally quick to advance their
estimates of the value of their securities,
when they see powerful combinations OF cap

abroad are much less quick to appreciate the
change in value of properties which general
reorganization of railroads must produce
They see little of American news, and are
apt to let their securities go, when prices

Thus il comes to pass that railroad secu-

itself, when it goes so far as to cause any
important outflow of specie. But it happens
at present to coincide with considerable
movement of United States bonds to this side,
in answer to large calls, aud while these two
classes of purchases are in progress, shipments
of surplus specie may continue.

Time and the Pacific Railroad are dong
their work in Utah. The steady advance OF
population toward the spot-and beyond u
which Brigham Young, with lar IRON
prophetic foresight, selected as a safe
refuge from all the world; the lnces-
SAINT and powerful reiterations OF the
newspaper press; and all the thousand-ahd-
one influences which are diffused by the
nropress of a practical and decent civilization,
have steadily and-it may almost be SAID
rapidly undermined the institution OF poly
gamy. 1t is but little more than thirty years
since the Mormons themselves were so ashamed
of this doctrine that they formally disaVoWeu
il. while some of their number had secretly
adoptedi it, 1t is less than thirty years since they
grew bold enough to declare it as one OF the
foundation principles of their church. 1t Is
within the same period that the Judges OF the
limited States fled from Utah in dread of the
violence which the tongue of Brigham Young
promised, and would have invoked, IL they
had remained. 1t is but little more than
twenty years since the glitter OF MOT
mon bowie-knives in the court room
at Salt Lake City sent United
States Judge again flying out OF the
Territory. And yet we read that on Satur-
day Mormon was convicted OF bigamy,
whose conviction was obtained in spite OF
great efforts to prevent 1t, and Is the first
that has been had since the law OF 1867 was
enacted. We read, also, the pleasant news
that he is probably by this time on his way
to the Penitentary at Detroit. 1t may be well
enough to add that this is not the first sentence
imposed for polygamOus practices, though IL IL
probably the first effective one. Cmet-Justlce

Imprisonment; but the whole movement was
based upon q fanciful and absurd theory as
TO the powers of his Court, which the United
States Supreme Court brushed away like so
much cobweb. This may be regarded there
fore as the first conviction of Mormon.
There is some talk already, it seems, OF en-
deayoring to secure pardon for the man, on
the usual plea of " hardship first sentence
"under the law etc. We hope and believe that
no such argument will influence the President
for moment. The man who lives openly III
disobedience of statute which has been IN

Every polygamist in Utah deserves all the
penalties the law can infict. Law has tn

ANOTHER STRIKE THRE4TENED.

There is trouble again at Fall River, Mass. What
with impending strikes and lock-outs there is some
prospect at that great manufacturing centre of a
repetition of the follieS the suffering the loss and
violence which already Gil the records of produc-
ton and industry. 1t is not a pleasant outlook.
The strike at Fall River Will come at q moment
when the business of the town. so long depressed,
is reyiving little and the different manufac-
turers are so mutually dependent that If depart
ment ceases work others must stop also. The quar-
rel between the corporations and the workmen has
been of long standing, and the latter are perhaps
the least manageable of any Of their class in the
country Any event which brings with it to persons
dependent upon their own labor a weekly loss of
over 100000 must be keeny felt, not only by
those Immediately engaged in it, but by every in
terest of the community.
As usual at Fall River affairs are in the hands of
managers who, by some mysterious influence. die
tate 10 the majority, and find their dIctation re-
spected The curse of strikes is that two or three
clever men, by arts which are well known by de-
punciations and threats, by ingenious appeals to
sefshness aud personal vanity, are enabled to con-
troll two or three thousand, and TO make them do
what they have really no stomach for doing They
aro substantially denied the privilege of earning
their daily bread. and of protecting their families
from want. All they can possibly gain by strike
lost time and long period of enforced inaction
through habits OF idleuess acquired strengthened
and through that distrust of The employer which
may entirely prevent any cordial and profitable re-
latIon hereafter.
A general strike like that threatened at Fall
Rivers so uinous TO those promoting IL that il Is
astonishing to lind sensible men engaged IN such a
folly. Upon good authority it is stated that the
operatives there in 1870, when there was a strike
Of three months duration, lost $3.50 900 and then
they went 20 work at tue reduced rate which had
made all the difficulty Now they are acting upon
some notion of an increase IN the profits ol the
mills based upon an increase in the price of PRINT
cloths, not taking into account tho enormous SUMS
lost during the last few years by the corporations.
Mil property in Fall River, everybody knows,
is not at present good property. Mill stocks have
greatly deprecated in value. The advance in cot
ton cloths must b. great make up for past losses
Nobody pretends that there has been an advance
sufficient to pay over per cent on investments,
while there is certainty that present prices will
be maintal
No doubt times still hard in Fall River. though
not quite 50 hard they have BEEN 1t will scarcely
improve them to shut down the mills but the stock

TIE LIP or MARRIAGE.


| There ia no principle of the Common Law better
settled than taat which regards marriage as con-
tract and as a civil contract also. Something more
and higher sacrament indeed, it is IN the view oil
certain churches but courts do not take cogni-
zance of il as such. Again. in common-laW courts
| in England and tins country, marriage Is usually
considered as governed by the Ter loci coardcsas-
by the law, that -. of the place IN which
such marriage is contracted. Ii 1T he good any
where il is good at least IS the gen
eral rule. We are now, however, threatened with
the same differences of local tribunals respecting
marriage which have already occurred respecting
divorces The case of Edmund Kenney (coloredl
aud Mary Hall (whtel has attracted much
attention. They are now in the virginia
Penitentiary, being sentenced to a term Of
imprisonment therein for violation OF the State
statute prohibiting the intermarriage of certain
races. The marriage was contracted in She District
Of Columbia. where such unions are lawful. writ
of habeas corpus having been taken out, the United
States Circuit Court refused to interfere upon the
ground that the United States Courts have no jurs-
diction over questions of marriage. The case is to
be taken upon appeal to the United States Supreme
Court.
Considering that such case should not be left in
state of judicial doubt, il would he agreeable 20
anticipate definite decision from the highest trl-
bunal covering the important point disputed. IN
fortunately, it is extremely probable that the mar
red parties will faro no better in Washington than
they did in Virginia. 1t is very doubtful whether
the Supreme Court Will entertain the appeal at all.
1t may take the ground held blythe lower court
that il has no jurisdiction in arising out OF
a local law Of marriage. 1t may refuse to consider
n case between a State and its own citizens, already
decided by tribunal of that State. 1t may properly
enough decline to pass upon the case as one OF con-
stitutonal law and if it shouid, it is hard to see
to what quarter these prisoners could look Tor
redress.
The readIest method of remsdying all this confu-
sion would be tho passage of a General Marriage
and Divorce Act by Congress There are difficulties
in the way of this course il must be admitted
few years ago. before the present enlarged views oil
the competency OF the General Government were
adopted, the authority of Congress to pass such a
law would have been strenuously denied by
strict constructionsts But we have gone SO
far in tho passage of Bankrupt laws,
and some other laws of like general character that
possibly it may do no harm to go little further es-
peclally if marriage De regarded merely as con-
tract This plan of renedyIng awkward embarrass-
ments seems so easy that it is a pity 1t Is not
upon the face OF it little more feasible. We merely
throw out the hint for the consideration of those to
whom the passage of laws and their execution are
committed.

Imports.
Export

The exact return of imports for the last
week is not yet received; from January 1 to
June z the amount was S4,673,275. Thus
it will be seen that the specie movement thus
far. though less favorable than that of 1878,
is altogether more favorable than that of any
preceding year of the five. Nevertheless, the
rapid outflow of gold during the present
month calls for attention, the more because
the Treasury statements show that during this
month legal tenders in considerable amount
have been presented at the Treasury for re-
demption, apparently TO obtain the gold for
expectation.
Certainly the condition of foreign trade does
not warrant an apprehension that large ship
ments of gold viii continue. There
has been some decrease OF merchandise
exports, amounting to nearly $4,000, 900,
from all ports for four months of the year,
and to $4,000, 900 from New-York since May
|. making q known loss of 500, 200, 900 in
exports TO date. Also there has been an in
crease of $7,599,55 in imports at all ports
for four months ending April 80, and an in
crease of SAIL 1913 at NewYork since that
date. making a known increase of $12.0l1,-
2Sl in imports. But these statements are in
comparison with the extraordinary and unpre-
cedeuted movement of 1878, which yielded
an excess of merchandise exports over i'm
ports amounting to 5000, 200. 900 for the
whole year, and 54,5jG,O21 for the first
half OF that year. The known decrease
in excess of exports thus far is only
Sl1 900 900, ami there must still remain
an excess of about $l10,000,00 in exports
over imports of merchandise, for the first half
of 1879. No reasonable allowance for such
undcryaluatiOns of imports rs still exist will
reduce this excess below 100000, 900 for the
six months. But the entire interest Oh United
States bonds now held abroad is less than

sum payable half yearly would not exceed

our private opinion OF cremation, nobody who has

offensive to man Of taste or feeling than the
reeking ground, the Fictitious sentiment of paper

THE AUSTRALIAN EXHIBITION.

The journals of NeW-SOuth Wales are full
of the approaching International Exhibition
in SYDNEY. and we are glad to find so many
American manufacturers among the list of ex-
hibitors. Besides the usual array of sewing
machines and printing presses, the visitors to
this PARKWAY exhibition will have an Oppor-
tunity of examining American books, carpets,
artificial teeth, photographs, paints, canned
goods, etc.; a totally insufficient exhibit, OF
course to give foreigners any adequate idea
of our resources, but enough to show that our
people are beginning to awaken to the impor-
lance of advertising their wares III other mar
kets than our own. If the Philadelphia Ex-
position was Of no more value than to show
us the customers waiting Tor us IN every
country it would have more than paid for
itself. Ten years ago Americans hardly knew
there was a foreign market for anything but
their raw materials but last year our exports
of manufactured articles reached $780,
100000.
There is not year in which a new market
does not open for some American product or
manufacture, and often III the least likely
places. Who would have predicted genera
ton ago that we would send butter and cheese
10 the grazing Netherlands, beef to England,
steel to Sheffield, muslin to Manchester,
watches to Switzerland, carpets to kidder-
minister, or shoes to northampton England
is as yet our best customer only because we
are better advertised in England than else
where. There are the markets and here are
the goods. Alive have to do to command fair
share of trade is to manufacture honestly and
advertise boldly in every Exhibition. That
The distance of this market at the Antipodes
has no lettering effect is shown by the fact
that this city ships horse-cars to New-Zealand
at cost of transportation of over 5000 each,
and agricultural implements to Australia. Let
an article be the best of its kind, and no fraud.
and customers will come for it from the fur
thest ends Of the world.
