Finally, Mr.. Haskell demanded the pre-
vious question, which being seconded cut
of Mr.. Marsh, OF Illinois, who desired TO
offer resolution directing the Committee
on Elections to report on the fact whether
either Of the claimants were practical. po-
lygamists. Mr.. Haskell then stated that he
desired to offer resolution giving certain
instructions to the Committee on Elections
In this matter, which was referred to II. IL
was read as follows:
"Whereas polygamy has been for many
years and is now practiced In several OF the
Territories Of the United States; and
whereas there has been admitted into for
mer congresses OF the United States dele
gate from the Territory Of Utah who has
served In the House OF Representatives as
such while sustaining polygamous marital
relations wide documents in contested
election case OF Cannon Us. CampbelD ;
therefore
f." Resolved, As the fixed and final deter
minaton Of the House Of Representatives
Of the Forty-seventh Congress, that no per-
son guilty OF living in polygamous rela-
tions, OF OF teaching or instigating others
to do so, Is entitled to membership in this
House from any Territory Of the United
States"
The reading OF the resolution was re-
ceived with applause.
Mr.. Randall raised the point Of order
that the resolution was not germane TO the
case under consideration. He protested
against the idea that in voting upon the
resolution members were expressing any
opinion on the subject OF polygamy.
The Speaker said that the resolution did
not give such instructions to the committee
as were comprehended in the rules, and
therefore he ruled II out OF order.
Mr.. Reeds substitute was then adopted
ayes, 1S9. The twenty-four negative votes
were all Republican, and the contested case
was thereby referred to the Committee on
Elections.
Mr. Haskell then desired to offer as a
privileged question the resolution given
above, but was cut off by motion to adj
iourn, which was at 1850 carried.

Good Crop Prospects.

That we have an unprecedented
backward season this year is undis-
puted, but it is almost equally certain
that It's effects have not been disastrous.
The wheat crop has already been har-
vested in many sections without acci-
dent, and the pleasant weather of the
last two weeks has been favorable to
the harvest now in progress in some
sections and which will soon be under
way here. Further TO the north and
west the grain looks we'll, so it is almost
certain that we will have uniform
yield, and one above the average. But
now comes the question about the corn
crops upon which 30 much depends.
The cold weather of spring delayed
planting, and the acreage this year
according to late reports is not quite so
large as it was last year. But corn is
hardy plant, and the damp, sultry
weather alternating with hot days is
making good the loss of the past There
is not the least cause for anxiety on
this score, and need not be unless we
have early August frosts. The mild
weather of last winter through the
north and southwest was very favorable
for stock aud the rains have given the
grass good start. We may therefore
expect an ample supply of stock for
next winter. With good crops all
business will be good and we shall en-
joy full measure of prosperity, which
he bad harvests of last year seemed to
check.

THERE CAN BE no special objection
to the ordinance introduced in the City
Council to prevent the excessive use of
fireworks on the Fourth of July, for
generally, except under strict regula-
tions they are a nuisance, but perhaps
it would be as well for Council to move
slowly In the matter at the present
time. An ordinance so prohibitory in
its character passed so near the Fourth
of July would act with very injurious
effects upon a number OF merchants
who have laid in large supplies of fire.
works at a great outlay Of money. Some
merchants have, some weeks, lait out
as high as 81, 900 an some more ia fire
works, and this expenditure would
prove to be practically q total loss, if
the ordinance in question should pass
before the Fourth. There can be no
objection if passed after the Fourth Civ.
