To the Editor of the JOURNAL AND COURIER:
I have noticed an article in your columns
on the Mormon question, reporting what two
prominent Mormons say. They seem TO
scorn the idea of EARNED resistance" and
bring forth proofs (?) Now everyone is en-
titled to his own opinion of course, but do
not think they believe what they themselves
say on that subject. I think that when they
get strong enough, and they are increasing
rapidly, that they will make armed resist
ance" when stern mea sures are taken against
them. OF course they wish the Gentil5s to
think that they will never fgss, but there
are different views on the subjee4 FIRMLY
believe that before the end of tnss Century
the Gentiles and the Saints" viii be In
arms and fighting. Are there grounds for
my views?
am a firm believer in Washington's VS.
ion, and think one part of it applies to the
Saints" He saw armies coming from Eu-
rope Asia and Africa, and fighting in Amer
lea at the end of this century. do not pre-
tend to explain it all, but call attention to the
possibility of war soon. Now whom are
we likely to fight with if not with the Nor
mons? Let us hear other opinions on the
subject. Z. I. n.

An interesting report has been going the
rounds to the effect that the Mormons have
had spies in Washington collecting evidence
regarding the private life of public men
there Delegate Cannon has also been re-
ported as saying that he thought he might
when the time came make speech in which
he could bring out the peculiar habits of the
members of the House. Mr.. Cannon hastens
to deny any such intention. He says: ''At
no time and under no circumstances and to
no person have 1 ever made such re-
mark or remarks as these attributed to
me- On the contrary, when spoken to
upon this subject I have invariably said that
the church to which belonged had no writ
ten creed outside of the Scriptures but one,
and that is Mind your own business that,
as people, my constituents had prospered
by the strict observance of this, and as their
Delegate to Congress, my own duties had al
ways occupied my attention SO closely that L
had no time to NEEDLE with the affairs of my
neighbors. I have repeatedly said, when
spoken to about the morality of others, that
in all my congressional service I knew moth
ing beyond that which may have appeared in
the public prints against the morality of any
public man, and did not wish to know any
thing of that kind"

"Free Passes

To the Editor of the JOURNAL AND CouRIER=
1 desire through your columns to call pub
lie attention to the fact that some of the rail-
road companies of this State are offering free
passes to our legislators. am glad to know
some-I hope many-of these honorable gen.
tlemen are spurning this proposed gift. Amy
child can see that this is the clearest kind Of
a bid to corruption, a piece of "hush money,
that else can it be? The company which
pursuades legislator to accept this favor
gets claim or lien on that man. 81 give
YOU. free pass on my road; you vote for any
measure we want enacted, and against any
laws which antagonize our interests.
Please, Mr.. Editor. let me quote in this
connection from good old book, by whose
principles we propose still to stand: ''Judg-
es and officers shalt then make thee in all
thy gates, and they shall judge the people
with Just Judgment. Thou shalt not wrest
Judgment, thou shalt not respect persons,
neither take gift; for gift does blind the
eyes of the wise and pervert the words OF
the righteous. Dent, 16, 1873,
Irrespective of the attempted bribery IN
yolved in this transaction, it may well De
asked Who gives the managers OF these rail
roads the right to offer free passess Is 1t
not an unauthorized use of other people 9
property ? MIR. Editor, I beg that you VIII
not fail to expose the true inwardness" OF
this whole matter. 1t is not yet proved that
every man has his price, but it is true that
these great wealthy monopolies mean to find
out how many of our public men can be
bought
1t is deyoutly to be hoped that this mum
Der may be found to be very small.

Two .ssmart~ Women.

New York Correspondence Boston Advertiser
There lately lived in New York a little wo-
man of English birth, whose name was Ellz-
abeth Bartlett At the time of her death she
was fifty years old, and had been in business
over thirty years She occupied two large
adjoining stores, each one four or five stories
in height, where every ar iele known to car
rage harness and saddlery wares and sup
niles were to be found. Miss Bartlett import
ed many of these goods, and she chose them
from the best foreign houses, where her bus
mess credit was of the very highest, but
large share of her merchandise was manufac-
tured by herself She always employed wo-
men upon eyery part of work that was with
in their muscular capacities, and although
she died a very rich woman, honesty, in
tegrity and capacity, that triplet of
rare virtues, won her fortune. Not
only was she as closely absorbed in
her business as if she had been man, but
like most men with large projects to manage
she was almost inaccessible to the world
She employed others to perform all sorts of
time killing courtesies insepsrable from bust
ness, and she remained steadfastly but invis-
ibIy at the helm. Indeed one western dealer,
who had patronized her house long and
largely. was astonished to learn after her
death that E. Bartlett, in large gilded letters
across the front of her establishment, signi-
fed tiny, rosy woman who was but i've
feet tall. her mOl1eT Q16o Nucn hu6 q
little girl, and her fond father, who was a
travelling tradesman, carrying samples of
English carriage and harness hardware about
the country to solicit orders for foreign
goods, gathered up his little girls few be-
longings, and they were never afterward sep
arated in life Sometimes by stage, some
times by kindly farm wagon, now and then
by canal packet, but oftener on foot, they
went from one large town to another. When
the girl was sixteen years old her father died
and was buried by the way, and the heart
sore young girl had only her samples and the
memory of her fathers love left to her. As
many an older woman has done, she made
her moan where no one could hear her, and
then took up her inheritance and followed
the well known route she had so often
passed over. Patrons of her father gave her
the same orders as to her father because they
had no heart to refuse her, though but few
of them supposed they would be filled
Promptly on time, and with an exactness oil
quality quite equal to the business habits OF
her father, all orders were attended to, unit
by and by her capacity and her word became

In his recently published work on "Recidi-
vistes," or persons guilty of repeated Of
fences against the laws, NJ. Joseph Reinach
estimates, on the basis of the police returns,
that there are in Paris alone between 10000
and %, 900 malefactors by profession, who
are responsible for about one-half the num-
Der of crimes annually committed. M. Rein
ach observes that these offenders are even
less dangerous by reason of their own mis-
deeds than of the corrupting influence which
they exercise in their own circles, particular
" upon the young. In Paris more than half
the persons arrested on criminal charges are
stated to be minors. More striking still is
the fact that in three years the proportion
has almost doubled.

Newark clergyman, the Rev j. C. Snow,
presents some pretty strong arguments
against setting up the whipping post in New
Jersey for wife-beaters. He says it would
still further brutalize the victims, put last

to taunts. Wives who, it is now alleged, Of

xaends hard labor, perhaps on the streets

One reason why the proposed tunnel under
the English Channel may not become real
ity soon, is the great sum it would cost.
From the data thus far furnished by the ex-
periments with the boring operations. the
calculations show that the cost of the tunnel
would be twenty millions sterling If the
line were to earn as much as is produced by
the passenger traffic of England, it would
take subsidy from Parliament of $1,000 a
year to pay dividend of five per cent on

Concerning the recent financial crash in

has been in business some ten years, and was
in the habit of netting lordly income from
his commissions, had an account open for the
rise to the amount of five millions sterling.
The arrangement of this unwieldy account
presented difficulties at the final settlement
of the year but these were overcome, and
all bargains duly carried over Difficulties
again presented themselves at the mid
monthly January account; and it was de-
termined by the friends of the operator that
it would be wise to hquidate the account
rather than continue waiting upon the chap
ter of accidents There were three millions
sterling of Egyptian unified open for the RISE
and these were Hung on the market with the
result of breaking down prices. The weak
ness in Egyptian securities was helped by
such large sales but the cause in this case is
ridicuously inadequate to the alleged effect.

HECKER'S
PERFECT BAKING POWDER.
A FAIR TEST.

To the Editor of the journal & Courier.
Sir:-The contract for supplying
the United States government with
seventy-fve thousand (75, OOO) lbs.
OF Baking Powder during the en-
suing year has been awarded to
Hecker's Perfect Baking Powder,
1T having been tested by DIR. Ed
ward G. Love, analytical chemist
for the government, and recon-
mended by him for it's excellence
and because it contained a higher
percentage of gas (Which means it
will make lighter bread and bis
cuit) than either the "Royal'' or
the other cream tartar baking
powders which he examined, The
samples analysed by DR.. Love were
furnished by the government COM
missioners, and were without the
manufacturers label or name.
and designated with a number
known only to the commissioners.
1t Will thus be seen that when
Hecker's Perfect Baking Powder
sub omitted to an impartial test
its superiority is acknowledged.
and the popular verdict so emphat-
ically expressed in its favor is fully
sustained.
