Irappears that the Mormon trouble Is by
no means confined to Utah, as the Nor
mons have large colonies in Idaho, Colorado,
Nevada, California and New Mexico, and
wherever their colonies are situated they are
governed arbitrarily by the Mormon bishops
and elders, who dictate how the people shall
vote at the regular elections, which despot-
ism is implicitly obeyed by the whole colony.
In the Territory of Idaho this solidity of the
Mormon vote is welded with so much skill
as to constitute an elem mt of trouble and
danger, which causes general agitation and
excitement.

THE Conservative reaction in public SEN

suits in large degree from the continued
failure of all the measures of the Liberal
government of Mr. Gladstone for the pacif-

and extend unless some very pronounced
success shall be achieved in Ireland by the
Ministerial policy. In foreign affairs the
government has been wonderfully success
