POLYGAMY

The Mormons are excited, and naturally
so, over the recent action of the government
in relation to polygamy. The fact of Rey-
nolds' imprisonment, the incarceration of
Cannon, their delegate in Congress, for con-
tempt of court, and other evidences that the
present prosecution means business, has dis
turbed them greatly. But no circumstance
has created more profound distress than the
determination of the government to prohibit
the importation of proselytes to the faith.
This latter measure, however, is attended
with many difficulties, for it is recognized
that foreign governments cannot be pre-
sumed to know whether or not emigrants
propose to practice polygamy when they
reach this country. The London Times
comments on Secretary Evarts' note, pub
lished in the GLOBE OF yesterday, expresses
this difficulty most completely, for, in the alb
sense of evidence of polygamous tendencies
in the emigrsnts, this government could not
lawfully prevent their landing.
There are many obstacles that face every
effort to obliterate polygamy in Utah, some
of which have been already mentioned in
these columns. The government has a
powerful foe to contend with. Most of the
Mormons regard polygamy as part of their
religion, and will defend it to the last ex-
| tremity. The church is unit on the sub
ject-more so, perhaps, than any other
church on earth. 1t will fully sustain it's
members in means, no matter how repre-
hensible, that may tend to sustain the
church and its pet institutions. The proseou-
ton will have to contend with perjury and
subornation of perjury, with menaces of
personal violence, and mayhap with murder
itself. Though the Danites may be
generally regarded IS myth, it
will be found that they are terrible
reality "a standing, deadly threat to all who
presume to question the divinity of the rev.
elation of the prophet. They will have to
contend with the prejudices of many who
have no sympathy with polygamy, but who

The Pennsylvanians will have no candi
date for President to present to the next Re-
publican convention, but the State which
invariably demands representation in the
cabinet will not be apt to forego the oppor-
tunity of presenting name for the second
place. In this connection the name of Ed
ward Mcpherson, late clerk of the Senate,
has been mentioned. Mr.. MCPHERSON may
be q very good clerk, but we doubt very much
if he possesses the requisite qualifications as
fisherman to enti,le him to the distinction
his friends seek for him.

IT is rumored that Count An Grassy will
shortly retire from charge of affairs in Aus
tria. The cause does not appear, but it is
considered that his management of affairs
in Bosnia was not calculated to advance the
interests of the empire. There were many
mishaps in the Bosnian campaign which did
not rebound to the credit of the nation, and,
tired of examinations, he has resolved to re-
tire from active service.

HOW IL Is WORKED.

Where Sherman ct al. Get Their Statistics
The People Tucez to Furnish Republican,
Campaign Literature.
For long time it has been mystery
where the Republican Congressional com-
mittee procured the ingenious combinations
of figures by which it was enabled to prove
anything that it was desirable should be
proved. It is well known that the commit
tee has not had at its headquarters any facil-
tiles for manufacturing readable campaign
material. Investigation has developed the
fact that one entire room in the treasury is
devoted to this noble work. The space thus
set apart is between the warrant and public
money divisions. It is the Office of Rafael
A. Bayley, who has had charge
of the publication of financial statistics.
In Mr.. Bayley's Office four clerks are hard at
work. Upon the tables are piled pages Of
printed matter containing statistics about
the public debt, refunding operations, and,
in short, nearly all of the documents which
the Republican Congressional committee re-
lies upon to convince the voters of the coun.
try that its party should be given renewed
lease of power. From employees in the de-
partment it is learned that Mr.. Bayley's
office supplied John Sherman with the fig
ures used by him in his recent financial
speeches in Maine, and Mr.. Powers, chief of
the warrant division, says that Mr.. Bayley
is at present engaged in the compilation Of
statistics showing the financial operations
from the foundation of the government
down to the present time. 1t is upon q
portion of this report that the Republican
Congressional committee relies to prove
the economical administration of public
affairs by the Republican party.
r. A. Bayley is a clerk in the warrant divi-
sion at salary of $1,000 per annum. His
assistants are clerks in the treasury depart
ment who receive salaries ranging from
$1,000 to 81, 400 per annum. No appropri-
alton was made by Congress for the support
of financial statistics bureau in the treasury
department. There is no warrant of law de-
failing five men to prepare campaign material
for the use of the Republican party.
The compilation of the monthly public
debt statement is authorized by law, and the
books Of the department show the condition
of the finances from day to day. The bureau
of statistics is required by law to classify
statistical information showing the condition
of agriculture, domestic AMI foreign COM
MERGE, navigation, currency and the banks of
the States and Territories.

THE RESULT IN MAINE.

II Is conceded on all hands that what
THE NATIONAL REPUBLICAN contended for
on the morning after the election, and which
some doubters regarded as premature, has
really transpired in Maine. 1t is possible
that DAVIS may yet be declared elected by
thepopulor vote but whether that shall be
so or not, we have the legislature in both
branches, and that assures the election Of
DAVIS as Governor. So "all's well that
lends we'll" Now the cannon can roar,
the eagle can scream, and the people can
huzza with perfect ,pgopriety, for Maine Is
redeemed, and if any tender-footed Repub-
lcan is sensitive as to the amount of noise
that may be made over the result, let him
put cotton in his ears or hide his head under
: i.--!I.-. :: :: -: c;cce-a ;cc.aion for
rejoicing with exec ling joy, and the
people should cry out and shout in the ex-
uberance of their emotions. The loyal
heart should gush and slop over with JOY at
the developing prospect of preserving the
country from the ravages Of Bourbonism
and the supremacy of Ride Clubs and shot
gun politics In Maine we have accom-
pished all that had been looked for or
hoped for, except that the popular vote is
not as overwhelmingly Republican as it
should have been nor us it undoubtedly will
be when we next meet the enemy dowu in
Maine In two years the Democratic party
of that State has been under the process of
deglutition practiced upon it by the Green
hackers, until it has nearly disappeared from
the field.
Now is the turn of the party which has
nearly wiped out the Democratic organiza-
ton to deglutinate and fall apart. The Re-
publican party next year will be fully re-
habiltated and will sweep the State by
an old-fashioned majority, such as has
caused the people of the whole country in
former years to sing" Oh, have you heard
" the news from Maine?" The Greenbacls
party, unless it has rs many lives as cat,
must die before another election and pass
away, for it has no food upon which to sub
sist. Its Republican allies will return to
the faith and fold of Republicanism, while
the Democratic debris will shrivel up and
sink into insignifcance. The Republicans
of that State have learned n lesson in these
two years which, we trust, will bring wis
dom and vigor to the party and restore it
to that estate of supremacy which has been
nearly frittered away in folly aud nonsense
Let the State of Maine proceed to clothe
itself with constitution more in accord
with the genius and spirit Of n Republican
form of government, aud it will be relieved
from much embarrassment and vexation.

THE DISCOVERY OF PARENT.

Some of the secrets of the White House
are leaking out after two years of conceal
ment 1t is now revealed that Secretary
ScHURz was the author of the civil-service
order which has created so much dstrust
in the public mind regarding the good sense
of the Administration. The order was
pigeon-holed in the Presidential Office for
weeks before it received the signature of
the President, and undoubtedly would have
remained in obscurity up to this time but
for the persistent badgering of the Execu-
tive by its anthor. The order has been i'm
puted to Secretary ScHURz, though until of
late the fact has not been authoritatively
stated. The imputation was cast upon
SCHURz on the general hypothesis that no
other officer of the Administration would be
likely to indulge in such an act of absurdity
and folly. The paternity of the foolish child
has just leaked out, and it falls where
shrewd suspicion had pointed 1t has been
regarded from the first as an assault upon
| the inalienable rights of the American citi-
zen, which to accept with liberation is to
surrender the right Of free speech and free
that Secretary SCHURZ, before leaying for
the West, issued an edict forbidding the
collection of funds in his Department to aid
in the Republican canvass this fall This
is among the most consistent acts Of his
life. 1t represents his hostility to the Re-
publican cause, aud cannot be accepted
otherwise. SCHURZ is far less liberal to-
ward Republicanism than Postmaster Cen
eral KEY, who is not only Democrat, but
an eX-Confederate, and hence is really en-
titled to less respectful consideration than
the Democratic wing of the Administration.
1t is to be sincerely hoped that, if Secretary
SCHURZ must continue as an ornament of
this Administration, he will be commits
stoned as our ambassador to Russia before
another election shall occur. The Republi-
can party has had quite enough of his nom
sense and treachery at home,
