shocking story from Mormondom.

SALT LAKE, February Ssh.-Gsorge c.
Bates, a man who for many years was Lead
ing apologist for the Mormons, and for three
years an attorney for the Church. gives the
following account of his experiences when
travelling in the South on Church business !:
" In January. 1873, happened to visit the
southern parts of the Territory on business
for the Church, and stopping to change horses
and dine, | saw around one table FIVE polyg-
annie wives of one old Bishop and in and
around tie ranch some thirty six large
boys and girls of all ages, from 10 to 16 aud
20 years. and then and there / learned that
these young Mormons all sleps in one large
single room overhead in the winter, like 81
many pigs, and during the hot weather in
summer they all huddled together in the
straw in the stable, living in promiscuous
concubinage, and that several Of the girls
were bearing children to their brothers, and
cousins, and uncles, as SO many cows
or ewes would do, and that this was
matter of daily happening, and was
not discouraged, but winked at by
the old Bishop, whs stood high in the
Church, as a natural consequence of their re-
ligious teachings, that every womar's future
happiness was enhanced by the number #
children she bore, no matter who might be
their father"
Yesterday David Prayer, Gentle biga-
mist, was sentenced to two years in the Peni-
Tertiary and fine Of 500. a Gentle with
two wives goes to Jail, but Mormon with
five or six cannot be convicted.

VERY BAD TASTE.

The people who do net believe in Mr..
Oscar Wilde's philosophy. or who dislike
his dress and social habits, should manifest
their disapproval by letting him severely
alone. So long as they do that they viii
be within their rights, and not ameuable
to the charge of bad taste; but when, as
at Boston and Rochester, they buy tickets
and 60 to his lecture only for the purpose
OF insulting him, they show themselves to
be vulgar Doors. aad not far removed from
barbariaus. They in fact justify the criti-
cism which classes them and such as them
as Philistines. and they put themselves
very far beneath the level upon which
Oscar Wilde stands. IA that expounder
of esthetieism is probably coming to Cali
fornis, it is worth while for our readers to
ponder these remarks and apply them.
We certainly trust that he will be treated
in this State as every gentleman has a right
TO expect that be will be treated by civil.
lied and self-respectipg communities.

PAYING FOR THE WHISTLE.

Some time ago, when the mining litiga-
tion was being commenced, we expressed
the opinion that if Sacramento county paid
fixed sum to Marysville to assist in the
prosecution of the suits against the by.
draulic miners, this community would save
largely by the arrangement. Four of our
Supervisors, however, undertook to in
volve the county in expense the amount of
which could not be foreseep, and now it
looks as though Sacramento had been
worked into the position of sole pay.
master in the matter. By an arrangement
entered into by the four Supervisors re.
ferred to, the counsel for the Anti-Hy.
draulic Association have been permitted to
incur whatever expense they chose, and to
send all bills to the Sacramento Treasury
for payment. In our local columns yester.
day there appeared a statement giving a
faint inklingz of what is to be expected in
this connection. Mr.. Allardt has brought
in a modest little claim for 81, 700 against
the county. Now this county did not en-
ploy Mr.. Allardt. His services were en-.
gagged on behalf of the Anti. Hydraulic
Association. It is therefore an interesting
and not an impertinent inquiry if the city
of Marysville, or the Association, or either,
or both, are supposed to pay Mr.. Allardt
anything, or if Sacramento is to discharge
the whole of his claim? And if 81, 700 is
only part of his claim, we should like to
know upon what standard he estimates
he has given this community consider
alton to the amount of $500 month
But this is only single item
in the long list of demands which are to
be presented to the Board of Supervisors
to-day. Perhaps the four Supervisors who
are responsible for this whole business
have so entangled themselves that they
must accept whatever bills are Endorsed by
Mr.. George Cadwalader. But if they
retain any consideration whatever for the
interests of the community it would seem
to be proper for them to exercise some
discrimination as to these demands, and
among other things to ascertain what pro.
portion of the expenses of the late trial are
being thrust upon Sacramento. This is
not at all an unreasonable requirement, for
the present indications are that the trial
will cost the county from $50. 900 to S25,.
600, and perhaps as much as $50 600.
And as the Supervisors have already com.
mitted the blunder of putting the tax-rate
too low, thereby rendering an abnormally
high rate next year inevitable, it is desira-
BILE that the people should know, if posi-
bic, what they have to expect. The action
of the Supervisors up to the present time
has been such as to threaten the county
with per cent tax-rate for next year,
and if this should coincide with dry
year the situation will be serious. There
fore it is not asking too much to insist that
the expenses of the late trial should be
kept as low as possible, and that Sacra-
mento shall not have the whole costs
shouldered on to her under any pretense.
Let US know what proportion of these
claims we are called upon to pay, and how
much is to be paid by the other parties to
the prosecution of the suits.

DoIEG JUSTICE UNDER PRESSURE

1t is evident that Russia has been forced
to make pretense of justice to the Jews
by the indignant outcries of all civilized
peoples. The Government has thought it
necessary to announce that a statement
will shortly be published showing how
many persons have bsen arrested, tried
and punished, for participation in the per-
secution OF Jewish citizens. This is only
blind, of course. The facts are that the
persecution of the Jews has been going on
for nine months that in nineteen cases out
of twenty the Government not only has
made no effort to check it. but has, by
positively refusing protection to the vic
Tins, encouraged it that for fully six
months the mob was permitted to outrage
the Jews as only the Inhabitants of sacked
cities are outraged in time of war that
cruelties of the most hideous character
were inflicted upon the unfortunate
Hebrews, under the very eyes Of the
police and the soldiers that in towns con.
timing garrisOns capable of quelling any
possible popular disturbance in two hours,
the populaee were allowed to sack and
destroy the Jewish quarters for days
together that murder, rape, mutilation,
the butchery Of infants, robbery, arson,
pilage, and every atrocity that can be con
ceived, have been committed during this
period that the Russian Government con.
sequently lies most impudently and foully
when it AYERS that it has done its duty
toward its Jewish subjects. And never
was there a more tremendous satire than
consists in the Russian protestagainst foreign
interference. This be it remembered, is the
very same power which not only interfered
with Turkey in a precisely similar pro-
test, but marched its armies across the
Danube and laid waste the territory of the
Porte. Il appears THAI what was very good
argument in the case of Turkey is none at
all in the case of Russia. But any other
country has exactly the same right to inter-
fere with Russian brutality that Russia had
to interfere with Turkish brutality, and if
the St. Petersburg Government does not
relish the application of its own policy to
ITSELF, it had better change its policy. As
to its pretense Of doing justice to the
Jews, those who know anything of Russia
will not believe the declaration OF the Gov
eminent for a moment.

Sliding a canal across Nicaragua, and

Sliding canal across Nicaragua, and
they declare this enterprise to be entirely
patriotic and heneticent This position Is
somewhat too diaphanous. It suggests
suspicious. Il creates doubt whether
somebody has not discovered that there is
something big in the Nicaragua scheme.
The assertion made in the dispatch, that
a canal is more quickly built than ship
railway, is rank nonsense. The truth
is that the latter plan is much
more easily carried out, and at much less
cost, than any canal that it can be com.
pleted in less than half the time it
would take to make the canal and that
when completed it would be much
more effective. But it is deserving Of
inquiry how the Nicaragua route has come
to the front SO suddenly, and with such a
general expression of confidence. Who is
responsible for the brilliant proposition
that the United States Government shall
build canal through the territory of for
| eign power, and use and control that
canal thenceforward Would it not be
better to annex the territory through
which the canal is to pass, in advance, SO
as to avoid all endorsements ? And who
is to administer the canal when it is built ?
Do Congressman expect to add it to the
spoils of Office Do they expect to appoint
all the officials? Is it intended to run it
as if it were Custom house? All these
questions require to be answered before it is
possible to comprehend the reason of this
sudden advance in Nicaragua Canal stock,
and it is to be hoped that the same agents
who have been SO prompt in advertising the
new boom will also take upon them.
selves to satisfy the justifiable curiosity OF
the public on these heads.
