THE POLYGAMISTS.
Sine Die Adjournment of the Utah Legis
lature.

lature.
SALT LAKE, IT,, March 1.-The Legislature
adjourned sine die last evening. In the closing
speeches there was tacit recognition OF the
fact that the day of polygamous legislation was
now forever passed land their final adieu to the
halls where, for % sessions, they had upheld
standards of theocracy legally was not without
passage by the Senate Of the Edmunds bill, the
Legislature was disposed to treat lightly all T.
tempts at interference, either by Congress or by
the government. Since that it has become
aware that the crisis in its history is upon it.
The younger and homogeneous element would
probably have met it by concession II possible
The older and polygamous element has had no
thought save to stand on what it deems Its
rights, whatever the consequences. In the adj
dress, in reply to parts of the Governors mes
sage, which it presented in the memorial to
Congress against legislation, and in the calling
of State convention to organize Utah as
State and apply for admission in the Union,
the country has its ultimatum. So passes the
last chance polygamy has to strike its colors.
There is nothing left but for Congress to move
Immediately. The legislation of the session
Governor exercised his absolute veto power
with good Judgment. In almost every instance
his suggestions were adopted, and his approval
thus secured. On one point the Governor and
Legislature could not agree, however. Inc
Governor held to his duty under the United
States statute to nominate certain territorial
executive officers, whom the Legislature as
when Brigham Young was Governor. The Leg
islature requested him to concede the point,
declaring that there were no vacancies In
said Offices The Governor and Legislature,
however, parted, with a mutual change or
compliments.

GARFIELD'S MURDERER.

Scoville Wants Him Imprisoned for Life.
CHICAGO, March 11.-Mr. Scoville yesterday
remarked to News reporter that he believed
it was the best thing for the country that Gut
teau should hang, for then there would be a
revulsion of public feelings, and Guiteau
would do the country the great service Of
bringing about revision of the laws to pro-
tect the insane. He had, however, asked
President Arthur to have Guiteau sent to
prison for life, and then if he became raving
maniac it would be easy to have him sent to
an insane asylum. 1t is believed this letter
greatly angered the President.

THE STOCK MARKET.
Review of the Week in Wall Street and Closing
Prices

Special to The National Tribune.
New YORK, Nov. 15.-The general tone OF
to-day's market has been one Of weakness, and
the reasons assigned therefor have been the
impending trouble in the Trunk Line pool. The
market is extremely sensitive to rumors of all
kinds, and the volume of transactions is only
moderate and limited at that to profess
sional spectators. OF outside trading there
is little or none. Appearances would in
dictate that the large bulls who inaugu-
rated the advance of the last week have
marketed a heavy loan of stocks, but with
such forces working on the market it is
utterly impossible to give true idea of the
immediate future, especially when it is so diff
cult to divine motives for manpulations. AS
an instance of this we cite L. and n, for the
steadiness of which there is no reason what
ever, except the existence of a small pool
Where this syndicate will run, or how far they
will go, no one can tell. The borrowing demand
for stocks shows no increase, and everything,
except Lake Shore, loans up to the full rate for
money. Money ) a 6 per cent.
