The bill reported from the Senate judi
ciary committee for the suppression of
polyga is very stringent. Itprovides
fines and Imprisonment for having more
than one wife at the same time, provides
for keeping Off juries all who practice or
believe in polygamy for debarring polyga-
mists from the privileges of voting or
holding Office, and for making the fact of
bigamous relations sufficient evidence
alone of violation of the statute against
poiygamy. 1t takes away the right of citi-
zenship from the Mormons,, and signifies
that they must be content with a single wife
or go to Jail. II this bill becomes a law
and i, enforced the peculiar institution of
Utah will not last long. Heretofore meas
ures for the suppression ofpolygamy have
failed for want of enforcement.

Mr.. Grape has introduced in the House
a carefully prepared bill, which is of inter-
est to national banks. providing that they
shall not be allowed to issue more than 80
per cent of the market value of the bonds
deposited with the United States Treasur-
er to secure circulation. Under the pre-
sent law the issue is governed by the par
value. Mr.. Grape. in speaking of his bill.
says he deems it likely that three per
cent bond will be adopted, and if so the
probability is that this market value will
be less than par. His bill is designed to
secure under all possible contingencies
the ten per cent margin held by the gov
eminent as security.
