Just before adjourning the Legisla-
ture of Missouri passed a law, which is
to take effect on and after the first of
July next, requiring persons to pro-
cure marriage license before getti ng
married. This law is approved by
the great majority of protest ministers
who claim that it will be a moral ben
eft to the State and will relieve the
ministers of a great deal of response
bility. The catholic clergy, however,
are opposed to the law, because they
believe that marriage is q religious
and not civil institution, and conse-
quently think the State has no right
to interfere with the marriage rite.
Every State in the Union recognizes
marriage as civil contract, and the
Catholics of Missouri can doubtless
get along as we'll as their brethren in
other States do under similar laws,
and we believe the people of Missouri
will find the law beneficial.

The manufacturers Of oleomargarine
jim the East are now calling for protec-
ton from Western butter. They say
they are willing to properly brand
their imitation butter, but they are
opposed to the vile stuff that is ship
ped froE, the West being sold as cleo
margarine. Kansas and other West
ern States lose thousands Of dollars
annually, ep account of the great ma
jority of TIE people not Knowing how
to make good butter. Western butter
is drug ip the market at fifteen and
twenty cents per pound, while that
made by dairymen iq the Middle aud
Eastern States sells readily for forty
to fifty cents per pound. One Of the
Kansas City dailies published this
week an interview with the proprietors
Of com mission house in which it was
shown that the people Of that city
bought oleomargarine in preference to
the butter shipped from Kansas. If
the county and district fairs in our
State could get up a rivalry among
our butter makers that would result
in the improvement Of the quality of
their butter, it would be worth more
to the State than all the race horses
that can be brought here.

The "Mad Missouri has been prop
erly applied to the Missouri river for
some two weeks past. Ip its swift
current has been seen daily the debris
of wrecked dwelling houses, fences,
grainstacks, trees ard occasionally
the bodies of dead animals. The long
continued high waters and immense
destruction of property is unprecedent-
ed since the ''great floods" of 1874. In
many places the river is three or four
miles wide. An ice gorge caused such
a rise at Yankton that steamers at the
levee were carried inland quite dis
tance and one of them was left on the
prairie one mile from the river bank.

A bill has been passed by the Legis-
lature of Indiana submitting to the
people an amendment to their State
Constitution, prohibiting the sale of
intoxicating liquors as a beverage.
And we predict that the amendment
will be adopted. The temperance
people of Indiana have been more
united, earnest and persistent in their
labors for several years past than
those of any other State in the Union.
We heard some time ago temperance
worker from that State give his expe-
rience in the temperance movement
there during the winter of 1889,
and he said that in Sullivan county
alone, the great Democratic strong
hold, over two thousand Democrats
changed their blue noses for blue rib
bons and joined the prohibition move
ment. The temperance element in
both the political parties in that State
is strong enough to make politicians
afraid to incur their displeasure, and
it is probable the proposed amendment
will be kept out of politics, and party
affiliations will have nothing to do
with those who vote for or against it.
The temperance people of Kansas
shonld encourage their brethren in the
Hoosier State by a strict enforcement
of our Temperance law.

Many persons inquire why il is #
the Republicans have q majority in
the q. s. Senate they can not compel
a vote and elect new officers in the
Senate. Under the rules of that body
it requires a quorum composed OF
thirty-nine members besides the pre-
siding officer to transact any BUSH
ness and as the Republicans can con-
troll but thirty-eight votes, the Demo
Gratis, by refusing to vote, can prevent
any business from being done.

The Mormon Question.

Under the above heading the Topeka
Commonwealth has the following com.
ments on a recent decision by the Unit
ed States Supreme Court, in case
where action was brought in the name
of the United States against one Miles
for polygamy:
it is singular circumstance, and
one worthy Of comment, that within SO
brief period following the delivery of
President Garfield's inaugural address,
in which the Chief Executive referred
to the institution of polygamy, and ex-
pressed the determination that it should
be abolished by the enforcement of the
existing laws against it, that the Su-
preme Court of the United States should
render q decision which on the face OF
it gives the MornOns substantial ad-
of Miles VS.. The United States, and it
is one which, in the light of the decis-
Jon of the highest jurisdiction in the
United States, powerfully illustrates
the pernicious character of Mormonism.
Miles, polygamous follower of Joe
Smith and Brigham Young, has been
indicted for bigamy, in the District
Court at Salt Lake City, and after a
trial was had, the jury returned yer
dict of guilty. He thereupon appealed
the case to the Supreme Court of the
Territory, by which the decision of the
lower court was sustained. He then
upon writ of error appealed to the
Supreme Court of the United States,
which few days ago set aside the rul-
ing of the Supreme Court Of the Terri
tory, and remanded the case for 2 new
trial.
The gist of the decision of the Su-
preme Court of the United States was
that there was no error in excluding
the adherents of the Mormon!faith from
the jury, and none in admitting the
declaration of Miles as proof of the first
marriage. This was upon the ground
that Caroline Owens was pr0na0 facie
the lawful wife of Miles, and could not
therefore be used as witness to prove
the first marriage with Emily Spencer,
which was the only issue in the case.
The cause now goes back for new
trial, which is regarded as victory
for the plaintiff in error (Miles), as app
parently there is little chance for his
conviction, inasmuch as both wives
will continue to be debarred from tes-
tifying in the court.
In giving this important decision, the
court frankly declares its opinion con-
polygamy, and the difficulty
that exists under the present laws in
the conviction of any Nor
man charged with bigamy. Marriages
in Utah being usually conducted with
great secrecy, as long as the several
wives by law are excluded from testi-
flying, conviction for polygamy is well
nigh impossible. Only by Congress
sional act can this defect be Obviated.
Believing, or protesting to believe,
that pOlygamy is q divine institution,
the Mormons will continue the practice
thereof until they are prevented by the
strong arm of the Government. This
decision of the highest legal tribunal
In the United States will 90 far towards
opening the eyes of the people to the
niquity of an institution which alike
orutalizes man and degrades woman
md we trust will pave the way to a
of laws, the enforcement of
which, by the strong arm of the Gov
will speedily end in the
out Of polygamy in Utah.
