GENERAL PRESS REVIEW. 4
Ead's Treaty with Mexico.
New Orleans Times.

0sOW OIJCdHn 1AhCp'
A very important document 10 that pub
lished in our issue Of January 6, viz: Gap
tain Eads' Ship Railway Scheme" It's
commercial Importance will be recognized
ct glance It's political consequences may
net be so apparent, but they may be tenn
para tely described ga momentous. The sit
uation is this: Eads has concluded treaty
with Mexico which May give the U. b. gov
ernment first mortgage on what will be
the most important commercial and military
highway in Mexico. Or Eads may execute
such mortgage in favor OF any European
power. For more direct reference we repro
duce the particular clause referred to !:
"The greatest evidence, however; of
the United States in promoting the execu-
ton of this important work is shown in e
notable clause of the concession, which gives
to Mr.. Esds the right to bypo!hecsto the
revenues of the company to any foreign
government which will aid him, with IA Oney
or guarantees. in the construction OF tho
works." But the sudscious engineer was too
shrewd to limit himself to any one power
While he was stocking his own hand he
thought it just as we'll to take oil the best
trumpe. He may hypothecste with "sny
foreign government which will aid him with
money or guarantees (of his bonds? in the
construction of the workl." Suppose he
should hypothocate with England, with tho
full consent of MexieoY And suppose Eng
land should foreclose her mortgage and take
possession of the rosdS How, in that case,
could the United States lawfully dispute the
English claim Again, how could tho United
States lawfully prevent foreclosure and feiz-
urs by England in case Of default And sup
posing the foreclosure to be tcempleted,
how could tho United States
stop the financial absorption. OF
Mexico by England-and, sfter that how
could the United States prevent the political
absorption of Mexico and the establishment
Of new Indisn empire here at our door
How could the United States prevent such
determination against American shippers
over the road rs to practically barour peo-
pie from the use Of the line? Either there is
danger of serious complications in the near
future, or Il is the sublimest game Of "bluh"
played in modern times. II may be that
Eads is only endesvoring to farce the United
States to aid him with moHey or with protec-
ton, as inaeea IT sheuo. That Is tne more
plausible conclusion. But whether "bluti" or
SOLID purpose is behind the announcement it
behooves this shambling, csterwauling gov
eminent Of ours 10 look into the matter. 1t
Is in the highest degrees improbable that the
people fthe United States will quietly lock
on while European powers take possession OF
one of the most important highways in the
world, with full power to discriminate
against our merchant vessels and 20 exclude
our war vessels from the isthmus transit.

committees will be diligent and conscientious

If tho democratic maj ority on each Commit

against republican criticism or hostility, but
also let it be understood that the democratic

Anti.Polygamy Standard.
0 women of Utah, have you not lived this
lie long enough? And if you have concluded
that there is no use to try to undo the mashes
that encompass you, look atyour children.
Do you want them 10 suffer as you have? If
you think your little girl will, do not deceive
yourself Sho is not in Egypt or Bsrbary
state. Sbo is not veilad and hidden and
watched within some Turkish hsrens. She
is growing up on American soil, breathing
American air, learning American ways, and
gaining elimpses Of American free thought.
Do you think she 10 unconscious of what
you suffer? Do you believe that she will
grow up with any reverence for God who,
she is taught, delights in such things Don't
you see that you are killing in her young
heart the germs Of chastity and of rev.
eronce for Divine mercy? What will
be tho result? Look around the streets
Of Salt Lake City and mark the re-
suits yourself. Remember this Women
were never kept in polygamy through three
generations except in one way. They have
to be made slaves, and perpetually watched
and coerced. Unlees these means are brought
10 bear the whole structure falls to pieces.
The leaders in the church know this, and so,
whils they preach to you the need of obey
ing GODS will, they are secretly longing for
the government 70 put such restraint upon
them that they will have an excuse to tell
their people they must, to avoid bloodshed
and Imprisonment and loss Of property,
give up the system. But why wait Ten
reselute women can in concert sound the
alarm, and in nenth make it impossible TO
ever agsin have performed plural marriage
in Utah. If hut ten women were to come
out of the dreadful gulf, and tell Of its sor-
rows in the simple language of wounded wo-
manhood, the thing would be finished. Ii
the women OF this generation will net do it,
these of the next will, for this thing called
pelygamy can no moro continue where wo-
man is given liberty of thought and Of &C
ton, than can the snow last under the breath
of June.
