THE MORMONS.

For many years the executive, in his annual
message to congress, has urged the necessity
OF stringent legislation for the suppression of
polygamy in the Territories, especially
IN Utah. The existing statute for

DISTRICT OF COLUMBIA.


The report of the commissioners of the Dis
trict of Columbia herewith transmitted will
inform you fully of the condition Of the affairs
of the District and the vital importance of
legislation for the reclamation and i'm
provement of the marshes and
for the establishment of the harbor
lines along the Potomac river
front 1t is represented that in their present
condition these marshes seriously affect the
health Of the residents of the adjacent parts of
the city, and that they greatly mar the general
aspect of the park, in which stands the Wash
ington monument. This Improvement would
ada to that park and the park south
of the executive mansion large area
of valuable land and would transform
what is believed to be a dangerous nuis-
ance to an attractive landscape xIending to the
river front Tlsy recommend the removal of
the steam railEsy Bnes from the surface of the
streets of the sisy, and the location of the
necessary deposa in such places as may be con-
venient for the pablo accommodation. They
call attention 10 the deficiency of the water
supply, which seriously affects the material
prosperity of the city, and the health and COM
fort of it's inhabitants. Icommend those sub
iects to your favorable consideration.

me that whatever view may prevail as to tie

This use of the army would not seem to be the
alleged evil against which that legislation was

PRESIDENTIAL ELECTIONS.
A NEW LAW NEEDED.

The Importance of timely legislation with re-
spect to the ascertainment and declaration of
the vote forpresidential electors was sharply
called to the attention of the people more than
four years ago. Itisto be hoped that some we'll
defined measure may be devised before another
national election which will render unnecessary

OUR MERCHANT MARINE.

The continuing decline of the merchant ma
rine of the United States is to be greatly d.
plored. In view OF the fact that we furnish
SO large proportion of the freights of the
commercial world, and that our shipments are
steadily and rapidly increasing, it is cause of
surprise that not only is our navigation inter-
est diminishing, but it is less than
when our exports and imports were not half
so large as now, either in bulk or value There
must be some peculiar hindrance to the devel-
opment of this interest or the enterprise and
energy of American mechanics and capitalists
would have kept this country at least abreast
of our rivals in the friendly contest for ocean
supremacy. The substitution of iron for
wood and of steam for sail has
wrought great revolutions in the
carrying trade of the world; but
these changes could not have been
adverse to America if we had given to our
navigation interests a portion of the aid and
protection which have been so widely bestowed
whole subject to the wisdom of congress, with
the suggestion that no question of greater
magnitude or farther-rea ching importance can
engage their attention. In 1875 the SUI
preme court of the United States declared
unconstitutional the statutes of certain States
which imposed on shipowners or consignees
tax of 81. 80 for each passenger arriving from a
foreign country, or in lieu thereof required a
board to indemnify the State and local author
tiles against expense for future relief
or support of such passengers.
Since the decision. the expense attending the
care and supervision Of emigrants has
fallen on States at whose ports have landed as
q large majority of such immigrants immedl-
ately on arrival proceed to the inland States
and the Territories to seek permanent homes.
1t is manifestly unjust to impose on State
whose shores they first reach to bear the bur-
den which it now bears. For this reason and
because of the national importance of the sub
ject / recommend legislation regarding the
supervision of transitorS immigrants at the
ports OF debarkation.

Timber Exhaustion.
From the U. s. Economist
The now well-known fact is that we are
rapidly exhausting largely by reckless
and improvident waste, our supplies of
timber in tie Northern States. The de.
mand for 1t increases at the rate of 30 per
cent. a year, and even those who are in
terestad in high prices and immediate sales
of what is left of it admit that in 20 years
or sooner, building timber will be extremely
scarce, and that in many parts of the ceun-
try, yet supplied i'll part from their own soil,
it will have entirely disappeared. 1t is
| stated on good authority that more than
| 65, GOO establishments. employing 400, 900
persons, and using materials to the value of
over $3.50, 600, 600 ayear, are engaged In the
United States III manufacturing entirely

5000, 900 persons partly employed on wood
or using that material yearly to the value of
