The crude legislation, known as
the Eimunds Law, could not do other
wise than give rise TO Numerous
important questions in its admins
tSation. Several of these have gone
before the commission, and below We
publish another. together With the
answer, found 10 the order made by
the commiss ion

for the county of JuAb, having submit

act to amend section 1852 Of the Revised
Statutes of the United HtKtes, in refer

has entered into any Of the relationships
described IN section of said last named
act, is loot legal voter, ana cannot be
registered.
Aud the secretary OF this Commission
is directed TO communicate this orc or to
Mr.. Bryan; and all other registration
officers will take due notice CT this order.
Note.-Ihe following is section 8 I'll
said act:
That no polygamist, bigsmist, or any
person cohAbitlng with mOre than ore |

territory or other place, or be eligible for
election or appointment to or be entitled
to hold any Office or place of public trust
honor or emOlument in, under or for any
such territory or place, under the United
States
It now seems the Commission
will be under the necessity of modi-
flying somewhat the oath it pre-
scribed for those desiring registra-
ten. It will be remembered that
the oath excluded from registration
only polygamists, bigamists, viola
tiers Of the laws prohibiting bigamy
and pOlygamy, and persons cohabit-
ing with more than one woman Gin

now order that no per-
son who has entered into any of the
relationships described in section s
can be registered, and one of |
those relationships" is that of a
man cOhabit;ng with more than one
woman whether in or out of the |
marriage relation. The wording of |
the oath to conform to the reading of |
the law in this respect, may not ex-
clude many votes from the polls,
but it will be accepted as a deter
minaticn to apply the law in the |
interest Of morality rather than |
against religious class.

The bar-keeper gathered the money up,

saying, quietly:
Better keep 1t, stranger, if that's all you've

Tho Mocha Myth .

If the official returns of the coffee trade are
to be trusted - and presumably they are not
greatly in errOr-the coffee. consuming public
Of this country has been for long time past
very much deluded. There are multitude
of people in this part OF the world who are
laboring under the belief that the beverage
which they drink at breakfast, and possibly
after dinner, is Mocha coffee. The grocer
tells them that the article Is pure Mocha"
and they have no means of knowing that he
is dcceiving them, If, indeed, he has not been
deceived himself. Some, with peculiar fas.
tidiousness, insist upon having a mixture,
and want One.half or one-third Mocha and the
remainder of Java coffee--a request which the
grocer seemingly complies with that Is he
takes the coffee from two separate compart.
ments. Now, the last completed returns of
the coffee production of the world are made
up to the year 1878. In that year the estimat-
ed growth was 1,0S2, IL, 500 pounds, of which
Brazil produced 407 1877 300 pounds, or nearly
one.halt. Next came the Dutch East Indian
possessions, where the crop amounted 10 POI =
10000 pounds; while CeylOn, South Africa
and the West Indies furnished nearly all the
rest Arabia, 1t is true, appears on the list, but
its total growth, the Mocha district and the
rest Of the country combined, was only 1900
600 pounds-that is, not quite one-halt of one
per cent. of the growth OF the world.
When tbs considered that coffee is extern
sively used in Arabia, that Mocha comes
within the possessions of Turkey, a country
peopled with coffee drinkers, and that we have
no direct communication with Arabia, one
may well hesitate before he accepts the cur
rent Mocha fiction of the grocers. II is highly
probable that not 10000 pounds of this article
are brought INTO this country in the course Of
year, an amount that would not furnish a
days supply for the inhabitants of New York
City. We all, of course, know the flavor of
Mocha coffee, and hence, cannot be deceived,
and of us ever tasted it-N. Y. Times.

An Indian Wedding Party.

A wedding party that arriyedfrom the
Poplar river agency by the steamer Red
Cloud the other day, says the Bismarck
Tribune, attracted considerable attention.
There were two couples and a waiting
maid, and all a%boriginee of the purest
type. They were on their wedding tour
and Of course they were painted in all
the most gaudy colors known to the
toilet bags Of the untutored. Upon their
arrival they at nee set to work erecting
their bridal chambers down by the river
side where the yellow butteroups bloom,
where they could listen to the whisper.
ings of the great river while en- Dying
their honeymoon. The scene was a
novel a. even to old frontiersmen, in
asmuch as it was the first wedding tour
ever made by Indians in this country,
at least after the manner of the whites.
1t was a deviation from old Indian GUS
toms. Another feature of interest con-
nected with the party was that the brides
acted much like the young brides of the
pale face. There was no difficulty in de-
ternining the relationship of the young
reds. They even hung on to each
others hands-iust like whites.
