Mormon wealth.

From the Salt Lake Tribune. SIS z
Expansion is one of the leading tenets
of the Mormon Church. ssGather the
saints into these valleys of the noun
tains'' is commanded every Sunday from
the pulpit of the tabernacle in this city.
To increase the numbers Of this church in
America is to give its priesthood addi-
tional power: for from the numbers of
the body of the Church is collected one
tenth of their hard earnings to support
these priestly parasites. When there
were about five hundred of its members
in Utah, the rate of tithing was one-tenth
of what one of the laity earned or pro-
duced annually. Now there are more
than one hundred thousand persons
within its membership, great percent
age of whom are subject to the tithing
tax, and yet the rate is now, as formerly,
One-tenth. There are many persons in
and about this city who pay an annual
| tithing tax to the church of more than
81, 600; in other portions of the Territory
there are many others who pay annually
/ more than 81 900 tithing. There are few
Mormons in Utah but either directly or in
directly pay something. A majority of the
members of this church in Utah pay
more than $40 each on an average annu-
ally; the remainder pay more than So
each on an average, either directly or in
directly. From the first GLASS of 1.-THE
payers the church derives annually at
least $25O.OOO. Total, 81 ,OOO,OOO The
annual increase Of the church for the last
ten years cannot be put down at less than
4 900 persons; total, 4O,OoO-S,O 600 annu-
ally by emigrants coming in large COM
paaies, 1000 arriving in small parties.
And if nothing prevents the ordinary
course of emigration hither, this number
will increase annually during the next
ten years, until 1t reaches 10000 annu-
ally. So, with the natural increase OF
population within the Territory by births,
the church fold in Utah and the Terrific
ries adjacent will embrace more than
100000 persons before the year 1880.
This number of people will form the ba-
sis of one or two States and several Ter
ritories besides Utah.

But in the State of Maine, where the pro-
hibitory law has been longest maintained,
if the testimony of her Governors, Judges,
members Of Congress, and ministers of
the Gospel can be relied upon, it has been
an eminent success. A single fact, how
ever, is sufficient to prove its efficiency
and popularity. No political party in
that State dare oppose prohibition as a

Symptoms of Diseased Liver.
DAIN in the right side, under the edge
i of the ribs, increases on pressure;
sometimes the pain is in the left side;
the patient is rarely able to lie on the
left side; sometimes the pain is felt
under the shoulder blade, and it fre-
quently extends to the top. of the shoul-
der, and is sometimes mistaken for
rheumatism in the arm. The stomach
is affected with loss of appetite and
sickness; the bowels in general are
costive, sometimes alternative with lax /;
the headlis troubled with pain, accom-
panied with dull, heavy sensation in
the back part. There is generally a
considerable. loss of memory, accom-
panied with a painful sensation of hav-
ing left undone something which ought
to have been done A slight, dry cough
is sometimes an attendant The patient
complains of WEAKNESS and debility; he
is easily startled, his feet are cold or
burning, and he complains of a prickly
sensation of the skin; his spirits are
low; and although he is satisfied that
exercise would be beneficial to him,
yet he can scarcely summon up forti
tude enough to try it. In fact, he dis
trusts every remedy. Several of the
above symptoms attend the disease, bu
cases have occurred where few of then
existed, yet examination of the body
after death, has shown the LIVER t.
have been extensively deranged.

The Rev. DR.. .Talmage says: ''The courts
that license the sale of strong drink Ii.
eense gambling houses, license ibertin-
ism, license disease, license death, license
suffering, all crime, all despoliation, all
disasters, all murder, all woe" If these
are the results of the license system, sure
Iy the public policy which would estab-
lish it must be wrong. But one thing 1
omitted to say, and that is, while the IL
cense system would probably diminish
the number of drinking places, it would
scarcely lesson the number of drinkers.
The drinking public of Cinci nnati could
be amply provided for at 1900 saloons.
Past experience abundantly proves that
the evils of intemperance are not abated
under license, and further it involves
every voter in the criminality of the bus
mess. 1t also elevates the rum trade into
responsibility by throwing the sanction of
law around it. conclude, therefore,
that to license the drink traffic is not a
proper remedy for the evils to which you
have called public attention.
Not only should the State refuse to
sanction the unholy traffic, but the peo-
pie of the nation should demand absolu-
ton from their guilty completely in up
holding the revenue laws. The blessing
OF heaven certainly cannot rest upon that
people who derive their revenue from
crime. ''Let the ak be laid at the root of
the corrupt tree. Every tree which
bringeth forth evil fruit should he bewn
down and cast into the fire.O The lr,nl,
traffic is known by its evil fruit. Let it
therefore be extirpated, root and branch.
Let the Importation, manufacture, and
sale of the pernieious beverage be forever
prohibited in the nation. ss,fens

gist of the liquor ring that prohibition is

The Stewart Mystery.

Additional points in the history of the
grave robbery committed in this city last
November are given in to-day's HERALD.
They assist materially toward the COM
pletion Of the history of this now famous
crime, and in that respect are of public in
terest. How it was that the police did
not unravel this mystery and catch the
robbers at the time is now made
clear, and the evidence is Of peculiar value
to the public, as it makes out a typical case
against our whole detective system, for the
vice in it's administration that caused it to
miss the capture of the Stewart corpse
within three days of the robbery is the vice
that causes it to miss things generally:
This is undue self-sufhciency and indiffer-
ence to any evidence of facts that may con-
fiict with some precQpceived theory. The
Superintendent of Police was informed
by the Montreal authorities of the ar
rival Of the body in that city.
He replied, "You have been deceived"
and simply refused to attend to
the information. He did this because of
several misconceptions. He believed tho
body could not have reached Montreal in
eight days. In fact it reached there in less
than two. He supposed the odors, the
bulk and twenty other reasons why thing
could not be so that was SO, and SO missed
an opportunity for very great success.
Our points and the documents we give to-
day show that the police is at fault on the
point as to Montreal, and have been from
the first.

0n Embarrassing but Hopeful situ-
alton.


The blunt declaration of those Western
Tilden men to the Sage of Gramercy Park,
that if he lost New York this fall they
would drop him next year, has produced
revolution, and very important one, in
the political situation in this State 1t is
from the Tilden headquarters to drop Gov
ernor Robinson, and, while there will be
more or less clustering, the action of the
State Committee shows that the Tilden peo-
pie are backing down.
The republicans are plainly frightened
at this change. They counted upon the
democratic divisions to enable them to
easily carry the State. Now they must
count upon their own efforts alone, as the
State organ, the Albany EUe,ing Journal,
warns them. 1t is an embarrassing situa-
ton for them, and only few days before
their Convention meets at that--a very short
time to reform their lines.
As to the democrats, they are not yet
''out Of the woods" either. They have still
to agree together. Mr.. Kelly has for the
moment the upper hand it remains to be
seen how he will use his opportunity. His
opponents have still hope THAT he will
overreach himself--that he will "bite off
more than he can chew" to use q California
phrase. Some of his friends think he has n
tendency that way.
Well, the HERALD showed him the way to
success and told him he could win ii he
would take IL. He has done SO, and now
the HERALD will look on and see how he
uses his victory. Do not forget, Mr.. Kelly,
