TO THE honor of the Catholic Church
it is stated that none of its members
have ever been converted to Mormonism
The converts usually are among the ig-
norant foreign classes, who find the
comforts of life in Utah so superior to
their hard lots previously that they &C
cept them as heavensent. American
women do not take to Mormonism. The
blow that strikes down the iniquity will
fall upon class as ignorant and as
nearly destitute of all moral guild ance
as any like number of people in any
civilized society upon the globe. Mr..
Nye, in recent letter declares that
there is not a gravel train upon the
Union Pacific Railroad that does not
contain more intellect than can be found
among the elders and rulers of the
Mormon Church"

The Detroit Post and Tribune saws
the supreme court of this state has
promptly vetoed the only attempt made
recently in the state to repudiate munich
pal obligations. In Port Huron, after
the supreme court of the United States
had affirmed the validity of the railroad
aid bonds, the city of Port Huron issued
new bonds and sold them in order to nav
judgements based upon the railroad aid
bonds. After long contest and by
very narrow majority at the polls and
IN the common council, the attempt was
made to avoid payment of these refund
Ing bonds. The best men and most
liberal tax payers in the city resisted
this attempt. engineered bya coterie of
lawyers and tax-eaters for personal
profit, predicted its failure, and asserted
That it would in the end result In heay-
Ter cost to the city than would the pay
ment of the bonds on certain very liber-
al terms offered by the holders. Their
prophecies proved correct, for after con-
siderable expense incurred in litigation.
the validity of the bonds has been af-
hrmed by the supreme court. The de-
cisiOn of the court is given in full in
the Post and Tribune.

The Democratic party have for wears
been following in the wake of the Re-
publican party and time and again have
they endorsed the principles set forth in
the platforms of the Republicans in a
lew years after having strongly opposed
them during a campaign. 1t would
seem that the party was about again TO
take step forward and abandon their
free trade theory and come squarely out
for a protective tariff, at least the re-
cent utterances of some of the leaders
Oh tine party would indicate that
way. In his Atlanta speech Senator
voorhees, surprised every one that knew
his record by coming out squarely in
FAVOR OF a protective tariff. The Indi-
ana newspapers are studying hard to
account for this extraordinary phenome-
non, but are unable so far to discover n
satisfactory key to the mystery. Per-
maps the Senator should 5e given due
credit for his farsightedness. Perhaps
ne Is wiser than his generation, and
realizes that the protection of American
is to be the overruling issue
In this country, and wants to take his
stand early. Very likely, too. the arti-
Gle recently furnished by Mr.. Hendricks

Review may have had an influence in
shaping Mr.. Voorhees, course.

THE STEAMER RODGERS.
All Ready for the North POIe-The Outfit
and Crew.

Commodore Thomas S. Phelps, COM
manding Mare Island navy-yard, California, re-
ports to the Navy Department relative to the
fitting out of the Jeanette search steamer. He
says: The Rodgers has been thoroughly strength
ened throughout, including heavy hanging knees,
diagonal braces inside breast HOOKS and partners
for wedging the masts, strengthened where neces-
sary with three-inch oak planking furnished with
composition ice crushers, spare rudder, spare pro-
peller, six superior boats, suit of sails, &c,
running rigging, and liberal supply of stores in
thoroughly overhauled and put in complete order.
Three additional pumps and one distiller have
been supplied together with steam heaters and pipes
fore and aft the ship. Both engines and appliances
were found entirely satisfactory ON their trial
der steam. In addition to The very large amount
of stores and "pemmican" purchased rom the
Jeanette search expedition appropriation, she
has received three years full navy ratons ofneaIly
every description, and altogether it is estimated
there will be on board ample supply of food ior
thirty-fve officers and men, to last fully five year,
In conclusion, believe am safe in saying that
in the Rodgers ability to meet and overcome he
dangers and difficulties of ice navigation, in her
equipments and outfits, in the quantity, quality,
and superior packing of her provisions she has
never been surpassed, or perhaps equaled, by any
vessel fitted out for the Arctic regions One of the
objects of outfit for so long time is to have an
abundance with which 10 supply the people of the
Jeanette and of the missing Whalers should the
Rodgers be so fortunate as to TALL in with them.
