BOND PURCHASES.

It is announced from Washington that Sec
rotary Folger is giving serious consideration
to the change of policy discussed by us on
Wednesday. The actuary of the Department
has been instructed to compute at what price
the Government can purchase four and half
and four per cent bonds without loss instead
of calling and redeeming extended three and
half per cents. While this inquiry is timely
and judciOus, we presume that the Secretary does
not overlook the great advantages to be Sc
cured by purchasing the fxed-tcrm bonds.
These advantages, as THE TRIBUNE has re-
peatedly urged, make it worth while for
the Government to give for the long bonds
moro than the mathematical equivalent of
the three and a half per cents in price, in
order ID insure prompt disbursements of def
mite SUMS whenever disbursements are need
full; in order to prevent serious disturbance of
the banking system in any time of stringency
and in order to reserve mode of continuing
the reduction of the debt, without eXtrava-
CANT expenditure, during the sixteen years
which will follow the redemption OF the four
and a half per cents, prior to the maturity
OF the four per cents.
No bonds were offered to the Treasury on
"Wednesday. For three weeks, par and ac-
crued interest has been Obtainable at the Treas
ury here for three and half per cents
amounting in the aggregate to $6,000,000.
In all that time bonds for only $41 900 have
been received. Plainly, this mode of getting
rid of surplus in the Treasury is a failure
| 1t would be attended with serious dangers il

wife. 1t is often impossible to produce EVIL
dence of the first marriage, and it this Is done
the difficulty of substantiating the second Is
nsually insuperable because Mormon marriages
arc performed secretly in the Endowment
House, no record is made of them, and the wlt-
nesses present cannot be got to testify.
During President Grants administration an
effort was made to strike at polygamy by means
of statute against "lewd cOhabitatlon," Dut
nothing came of it because juries impaneIed
in the usual way refused to convict the persons
put upon trial. The wisdom of this so-called
Mormon crusade was questioned at the time.
It was at best only an attempt to whip the deVl
around the stump. The thing to aim the blows
of the law mt is the system of pOlygamous mar
rage. which is the root of the evil, and not the
WAYS of living resulting from it, The scanda-
lous immortality of "plural household" would
not long exist if no new poygamous unions
were contracted. Our correspondent believes
that laws can be passed by Congress which VIII
prove effective to break up the abominable In
stitution. lie is no doubt right, but we ques-
ton whether such laws can be made consistent
with the forms Of popular government IN Utah
and the right to jury trial vTuieht anu
deeu-seated disease often requires a heroic
remedy. Tho evil of polygamy seems to be
too powerful to be extirpated by the ordinary
operations of a Territorial Government and
Federal Courts 1t may be necessary, in order
to get it under control and put efficient pro-
cesses of suppression at work, to abolish the
Territory of Utah as legal organization, and
place its inhabitants under the temporary rule
of a special commission invested with extraor-
binary powers. Such a measure would Ill
comport with the American idea of the rights
of the people but the Nation cannot tolerate
poygamy indefinitely because the lawless in
sttution has fortified itself behind juries and
rules of evidence. Better the evil of few
years of arbitrary government for Utah, If
there is no other remedy than the far greater
evil of the continued growth of MOrmonism.

MISS CoPLEsTONs LAST RECITAL.


At Steinway Hall yesterday afternoon Miss
Florence Copleston gave the last of her three an
nouaced piauoforte rectals. She made the event
notable not only by herself playing
varied and beautiful programme Of
pieces but also by securing the assistance of Miss
Emily Winant, Mile. Vrginie Feni and sgnor
Campann She had her reward too, in the pleas
antly attested appreciation of fine audience The
singers were all recalled repeatedly, and Miss
COP eston, besides the testimony of ruidy palms,
received thank-0tferings of flowers.
Her selections a Sche RIO. opus IS, by Espa-
dero TWO prescriptions by List of Schuberra
pieces CHark, Hank, the Lark!' and I'M
promptu y, Lists "GOndOliera." Bachs "Chro-
matte Fantasy and Fugue," Schumann's Ara
besques" opus Is, and Romance sans Paroles'
and Gayotte in e minor by Sant-Saens. These
pieces served to test the solidity Of her
musical judgment as well as the deftness
of her fingers, and by their perform
ance she showed herself entitled to tho
pleasant words which were spoken of her on
f0rIner occasions. 1t might be added, how
ever, that a little shadow of disappointment
fell from the too liberal use Of tho pedals
that sometimes blurs an ont line, which, IN view OF
her marked and decisive touch and her eXcellent
rhythmlcal sense, ought 10 be clear and distinct.

Mr.. Justo Arosemena, the ex-COomban Min
lister to Washington, whose opinions on the
Isthmus Canal question we printed yes
terday, writes letter TO say that his sue
cessor, Mr.. Santo Domingo Villa, believed he
was acting within his instructions when he
signed the protocol last spring, but that the
Colombian Government thought differently
and refused to approve the protocol The doc
ument in question, it will be remembered, was
intended to explain and give effect to the por-
ton of the treaty of 1916 which relates to a
guarantee by the United States of the neutral
ity of the canal. 1t was sent to the Senate,
but was never made public, and action upon it
was DELAYED because of uncertainty as to its
ratification by Colombia. The current under
standing in Washington as to the nature OF
this protocol was that it specified the circum-
stances and conditions under which the United
States with the assent of Colombia, might
make it's guarantee effective by forts and garri-
sons at the mouths of the canal. In spite OF
the cordial willingness shown by the Colon
bian Minister in the negotiation of this impOr-
tant diplomatic agreement the Government ut
BogOta rejected it with scant courtesy, and is
now, according to Mr.. Arosemena, eager for a
European guarantee. The positive objections
of the United States to going into partnership
with any European Power to control the canal
Mr.. Blaine has already made known.

now TO DEAL WIrH PoLYGINK

4 valuable contribution to the discussion of
the Mormon question is furnished by a letter
from the Assistant United States Attorney for
Utah. which we print on another page. We
have heard II great deal aboat the impossibihty
of pcrsuadng jures consisting in part Of Nor
mons to bring in a verdict of guilty in polygamy
casrs, and an ill-adyised attempt was once
made m Congress to get around this difficulty 10y
enabling the United States Marshal to pack the
i,,ries SO rs To exclude Mormons. Mr.. Beatty
shows that there is further and equally
serious trouble in dealing with poygamists.
The law makes the offence consist in marry ing
n second wife when the first Is living, and not in
living in VIGOROUSLY polygamous relations. Ii
is therefore necessary for prosecuting attorney
to prove the first marriage, and then to prove
that a marriage ceremony was gone through
with IN forming tie alliance with the secoad

TILE RALLROAD PROBLEM

The Chief Of the Government Bureau Of
Statistics, Mr. Joseph NimmO, jr., has issued
rs a part of his annual report on the Internal
Commerce OF the United States, a pamphlet on
the g Cost of Transportation, Railroad Con-
declarations or Pooling Arrangements, and the
Governmental Regulation of Railroads" The
document is fresh and interesting contribu-
ton TO the discussion Of the railroad problem.
1t will, however, disappoint people who are
fond of dcnouncing the railroad companies as op-
pressivc monopolies without taking the trouble
to ascertain whether the facts bear out their
sweeping accusations. The general notion OF
such people is that the formation by processes OF
consolidation of great trunk lines and
the absorption of local roads as
feeders to such lines, which has been the most
m -eed feature of railway development in
recent years, has worked injuriously TO the
public. Mr. Nimmo shows that the opposite
result has foilowcd-that freight rates, instead
of advancing, have steadily decreased with the
growth of the great railway corporations. He
takes the New-YOrk Central, the Eric and the
PENNSYLVANIA roads, and gives the following
table, showing the number of tons they trans
ported annually from 1868 to 1850, and the
average freight charge per ton per mile:
