THR MoRAfoNs mean to make trouble. The Edmunds bill is a drastic dose for them, for it knocks the bottom out of their polygamy programme, and that is the chief part of the vulgar imposture known as Mormonism- An organized, desperate. final effort is to be Hade to beat the government at all points on the Rdmunds bill. To do this, Mornrons having bunch of wives have everywhere Throughout Utah separated their wives, and are openly living with but one; of1ce-hoiders having plurality of wives have resigned, and Mofmons having but one wife have been put in their places. The law is to be carried, on an appeal, to the United States Suprem Court. if beaten there, the Mormuns are resolved never to submit. But people in the wrong have talked that way before. It is time that in the interests of civilization and dsceney the foul blot was wiped out.

AN EXTRAORDINARY pfsoREppScY betwe

AN EXTRAORDINARY DisoREPNcY between the amount of mail matter carried and the amount of postage stamps issued, is shown by the New York Evening Post which raises the question whether there is not some big fraud in the postal Service yet to be unearthed. While the stamped mail matter carried last year, measured by postal charges, amounted to S42. 795, ,914, the value of all the stamps, postal cards and envelopes issued amounted to 4,62s, 485, discrepancy of over eight million dollars. Postmaster Pearsons of New York was asked to explain how such things could be and confessed that he was unable to explain it, though he suggests several causes which might reduce the discrepancy, some- what. The Post seems inclined to think that an immense business is carried oh in washing cancelled stamps, but MT. Pearson can hardly believe that fraud so extensive could be perpetrated without discovery. Either the postal statistics are of little worth ot the discrepancy pointed out indicates a Teak which ought to be investigated and stopped.

A CORRESPONDENT of the Kansas City Jour. nal divests the northwest country of some of the roseate hues in sybich it has heretofore been painted. He writes that there is cer. tainly no doubt about the capability of the country Do produce on it's immense stretch ot plsin and prairie an enormous bulk of wheat. But admit this and the whole story is told. Only spring wheat can ever be raised up tbers, and spring wheat is all the people think, talk and dream of DalrYmple farm is said to have 27,0O0 acres under the plough and in wheat. The farm is supposed to be owned by the railroad company that has the 5000. 900 acres of land for sale. It is the largest advertising scheme in the country, and as such is most decided success, but as remu nerative paying farm it is failure. It did not come near paying expenses last year. Again, i've or six wheat crops ruin and exhaust the feBtility of the soil, and there is nothing wherewith 10 regenerate it. A rotation of crops which the eastern and southern farmer brings to renew tue strength of his soil, is there an utter impsssibility. Corn cannot be raizsd; the season is far too short even for the dwarf varitisa of New England. Oats and barley are raised to some extent, but they win only furth@ inpoverish the soil that re- fuses to produce. wheat. The other remedy, m&nnring, is out of the question, because no stpck raising is attempted, in country whare for Dsarfy six months dsep snow imprisons man aad beast alike in their houses, and where not even proYender can be raised in suficisnt quantities to ksep..the stock through tho winter. Hay of the poorest and con- npnsst quality is sold for $25 to $50 ton in tho rich Red River valley. One may ride niles and not see solitary cow; indeed, the ngmhsr of people. Hho keep milch cows is ysFY small, and the eastern miik-condensing fac>eries have here good and profitable iazRkss.

the debt of about 900 which has rested

some two weeks since to consider the condi-
ton of the church and when a motion had
already been made for action to provide for
the interest annually accruing. The idea
met with favor and more than half the
amount necessary was subscribed that even
ing, and committee appointed to secure
subscriptions. AT the time of the annual
meeting last week the work was very nearly
done, and since that time the small sum ne
cessary to make the full amount has been Sc
cured and burden as to which there has
