/ DIR. Meyer, of Vienna, who has re-
Gently spent some time in Utah, has
returned to New York, and in the pa
pera of that city we fiud quite e1ten-
sive accounts of his views and obser-
vstions touching Mormonism. AS to
the suppression of polygamy, he gives
it as his deliberate opinion that an
army of 10000 men would be re-
duired, and that the conflict would be
prolonged for years. This is putting
the Mormon question in a new light.
! The institution and practice OF
uolygamy are held in thorough
adherence by the American people.
There is an earnest desire, too, that
congress shall devise means to dimin-
ish the evil-to finally blot it out of
existence. We question, however, if
the public mind is prepared to con-
slider, with any degree of favor, means
that contemplate the levying of armies
aud hurting them on Utah for the sole
purpose of putting an end to polyga-
nous practices. The very suggestion
seems ike a ghastly burlesque. We
claim to be and no doubt we are
highly civilized people. Our civili-
cation ought to possess resources.
competent to deal with this
Mormon question. outside of
vast armies. We take 1t that the peo-
pie expect TO see congress try milder
measures before resOrfiDg to the bay
onet. POlygamy is not of a days
growth, nor can it be suppressed al
once. 1t would seem that the true
policy OF government should be the
enactment of laws calculated to 50
hedge in the institution with restric-
tions and penalties that gradually and
surely it will die out by sheer force of
circumstances-perish of insnition,
having no longer material to nourish
aud sustain if. 1t is a grave
evil, certainly, albeit 1t comes
down from the ages sanctioned by the
example of certain scpriptural patri-
srchs. who are held in very high es-
TEEN by pious people. But the insti-
tuition is very inimical to our civili-
zation and society has the right-if it
can execcise ito put polygsmy
under the ban and keep it there. 1t is
the great interior question of the day,
aud American craftsmanship will be
put to the test TO deal with it. Con-
gress can exaust legislation, however
before calling tor volunteers to carry
the sword into Utah. Armed repres
sion, more than anything else, would
have the tendency to create sympathy
for the MormoDs.

The Rcason Why.

Many persons were at loss TO kp ~
yesterday morning why il was that the
Missouri Pacific engine did not cross
the new bridge as was promised. The
failure is explained by the fact that the
gang who were working on track-layinl
on the east side of the river left for work
in another portion of the state, and the
International improvement company's
force. which was to have arrived
at 6 a. m. and finish up what
work was left, failed to put in
an appearance A Eforce was
busy, however, putting in switches and
side tracks on the east side and no doubt
so-day or tomorrow things will be in
tuch shape on the bridge as will permit
the tram to cross. Tive of the company
engines we're In East Waco yesterday
and some OF the officers of the road
came down on a special car to note the
progress Of work.

TIE CHRLSVINAS TI-NE.

Christmas, with its tender, reverep-
tial and yet joyous traditions, is here
again. The church will celebrate the
festival with her beautiful ceremonies;
the children will hold high carnival
of merriment for one day; and there
are very few persons of maturer years
who will not yield, measursbly, to
the genial influences of the occasion,
We have no lengthy article to inflic.
on,the reader concerning the origin or
uses of Christmas. The subject has
been too often overdone. Everybody
knows what the festival is and why
it is kept. Everybody celebrates
it after his or her fashion. The best
thing about it is that it is a season of
general relaxation and good feeling,
revlving the kindliest impulses of the
heart and illustrating the generous,
social side of human nature. The tra-
dition that gave rise TO Christmas,
whether worthy of implicit credence
or not, is still tenderly beautiful one,
and has certainly exercised an Intlu-
ence Oh the world-or what is termed
the Christian portion thereof-that is
eminently happy and interesting in
its workings and results. 1t is good
20 haye such a festival, and right
to make it as cheerful
and Joyous Us opportunity
may warrant. 1t is well worth,ob-
serving, if on no other grounds, than
for the delight it brings to child-life.

tful symbolism of the day, and the

the occasion, is sincere in its greeting
