Wholesale prosecution of gentiles has
been inaugurated and arrangements
made for testing the constitutionality of
the Edmunds bill in the Supreme Court

MormOns have nevertheless determined
not to submit at any cost. Polygamists,
from President John Taylor down to dis

most extreme part Of their domain, have
separated from their wives, and are liv-

all municipal offices and monogamists
have been selected and commissioned in
their places. Every effort will be made
to beat the Government on all sections

Ice WATER.-Many who regard the
use of wines and liquors as injurious or
wicked, resort to a still more dangerous
indulgence, and fill their stomachs with
iced water or cold beverages containing
no stimulant. If rum has slain its thous-
ands, ice has slain its ten thousands. The
ice-pitcher does not breed quarrels in
households, nor lead to murder or other
crimes by maddening the brain; but it
paralyZes the functions Of the stomach,
and annually kills more people in the
United States than can be counted as
the victims Of alcohol, and the habit of
drinking from it grows upon the thirsty

thought or turn of sentiment, relaxation
from his ordinary philosophic earnestness
