THE conference of the Mormon church,
held last week at Salt Lake City, re-
solved to continue the work of prosely-
ting in the Territories by cOlOnizat ion
and detailed seventy-seven families to
locate in Arizona. This plan has been
pursued in Idaho and other Territories
and Mormon influence has been gradu-
ally extended. 1t is possible that in thus
encouraging emigration the Mormon
leaders may overreach themselves, but
their purpose is to secure and hold in
fluence i'm the Territories that are soon
to become states.

The British government is pushing its
repressive measures in Ireland with Wig
or. An order issued from the lord lieu
tenant of Dublin requires that all arms
and ammunition in the country shall
be delivered up at places designated.
These will be returned to such of their
owners as take out license for their
possession. In this country an order of
that character would be the signal for a
revolution. But in Ireland large part
of the people will quietly submit, and
the others will be forced to by search
and seizure.

the names of President Garfield's Cab
inetthus: Secretary of State, Blame;
Treasury, Min; Navy, Keinl; interior
Verkovod; Postmaster, Reames; AttOr-
ney General. Hacvragh; War Secretary,
Lincoln" While all the other names
were too much for our esteemed Grecian
cotempOrary, it had 10 difficulty what
ever in correctly printing the name Of
Secretary Lincoln. The round of the
sun nowhere finds lands where that
name is not known and hOnOred. There
is something in name. particularly in
such name as Lincoln.

HERE is what the Democratic Governor
of Maryland says about the Democratic
rule that has prevailed in that state:
"The violations of both law and the con-
stitution have been flagrantly outrageous
The last legislature came in under the
most solemn promises of reform and re
trenchment. 1t abolished no offices; 1t
curtailed no expenditures of any con-
consequence. Indeed, its own
expenditures were as scandalOus
as any that preceded it, and a
knowledge of their detail is shocking
The fact is that the excess of the legisla.
ture under the management of these
men for years are as bad, though proba.
bly, not to the same extent, and owing to
the want of material, as the worst
species of carpet bag governments in the
south or of the Tweed rule in New

LATER reports from SciO show that the
earthquake was wider in its scope and
more disastrous than first reported
The island is only thirty-twO miles long
by eighteen wide, and has population
of about $4,000. When it is stated that
out of this population 5000 people per.
ished and 10000 others were rendered
homeless, the extent of the catastrophe
becomes apparent. The island is in the
Mediterranean, off the coast of Asia Min
or, and belongs to Turkey, but the
Greeks, although preparing for war with
Turkey. responded promptly to the call
for assistance.

THE national agricultural department

THE national agricultural department
has done some good things for the
country. Not the least of which is the
introduction of jute, which it has been
demonstrated can be grown in any part
of this country as far north as Indiana,
and equal to the best article produced in
India. This country pays annually
about 100000 for the fiber of jute or its
manufacture in gunny bags, ropes, car
pets and the like, all of which can be
kept at home as soon as this culture is
developed.

THE Signal Service Monthly Review,
just published, has an interesting article
on the ravages of the floods this winter.
In eastern Oregon the rise in the Colum
bia and tributaries caused destruction
of property to the amount of 1925, 900.
In Louisiana the overflow of Lake Pom
chartrain drove $4,000 people from their
homes. The Ohio river was higher than
since the great floods of 1874 and 1866
and the losses amounted to millions Of
dollars, and the rise in the Platte and
Upper Missouri has been disastrous. In
Europe there have been great floods in
several countries, and in others more
disastrous earthquakes. Noticing the
review of floods the New York Herald
says: THE abnormal rainfalls reported
from our own continent and Europe for
some time point to an extraordinary ac-
tiyity in the sun at this season over the
equatorial belt, resulting in excessive
evaporation of its heated waters. The
Royal Astronomical Society in its latest
report, issued last month, notices the
increased number of sun spots observed
in the last year. Whatever this increas-
ed solar activity may portend it appears
that we are entering period of unusual
precipitation, in which the magnetic
and meteorological forces are.undergoing
marked changes and exerting their i'll
fluence with great effect, not only on
the atmosphere, but upon the more fra
gile part of the earth's crust in the dis
tricts liable to the seismic disturbances.
SeismOlogists say that their observations
point to the influence of currents of ter
restial magnetism, varying with solar
changes, in producing earthquakes OF
determining the date of their occurrence.
We may, therefore, except to hear of
more of these commissions as the sun
advances into the northern hemisphere
THE New York Herald has dispatch
from Peru, which states that all the
Chinese iii Lima have been massacred
1t says over eighty Chinese merchants
were killed in cold blood. and upward Of
100000 worth of property was destroy
ed. Since the close of the war large
numbers of coolies have been murdered
On one day thirty coolies who were on
their way to the plantations owned by
Europeans were massacred by blacks
Only one Chinaman escaped.
