Death OF Milton s. Latham,

quarter Of a century ago probably
there was no more popular public man On
the Pacific Coast than Milton S. Latham
who died, last Saturday, a. his hotel. in
New York city. Mr.. Latham was na-
tive of Columbus. Ohio, and 90 wears Of
age More than half his lifetime was
spent on the Pacific coast. In 1850. he
held the Office al clerk of the Recorders
Court, IN San Francisco; he was after
wards chosen District Attorney for Sacra-
mento and Eldorado counties. In 1852
he was elected Representative from
California to the Thirty Seventh Congress
Declining a election, in 1853. he Was
appointed Collector Of Customs at San
Francisco, which office he held till 1885,.
Having been elected Governor of the
State. three days after, his Inauguration
he was, in January, 1860, elected e. S.
Senator. Mr.. Latham was, at ore time
m his career, quite wealthy, having been
Very fortunate in railroad operations, but
he finally met with financial reverses.
and at the time Of his death was compar-
atively IN INDECENT circumstances. There
are many old-tlmers Of the Pacific Coast
who viii shed a tear to the memory of
one whose history is inseparably connect

New Mexico.

TranquillinO Luna, the Delegate from
New Mexico to Congress, is now in New
York In conversation recently, he SAID,
that the Americans generally believed
that Spanish and Mexicans are very ig-
norant, degraded race of people. This is
a mistake People come down TO New
Mexico and stay for perhaps twenty days,
travelling about from place to place OF
course, they are not admitted into our
best scciery-you could not expect that
they would be-and, in consequence,
they only See our toughest and worst
people, and they go home and write about
the degradation Of Mexicans. Our best
families are intelligent add refined, and,
as becomes true Spaniards, hospitahle.
Then about education, the Territory has
appropriated one-fourth # the taxes of
each county to be used for the support of
public schools, and you can see that as
population increases this viii be most
generous provision.
In regard to buildings, there is an ad
vance The old style was the adobe, but
now brick factories are being built, and
stone quarries are being opened. Many
buildings of brick and stone are going up.
In fact, New Mexico begins to see that
she must keep time with the march Of
progress.
As New Mexico is coming forward 30
rapidly, it is not fair that she should have
no voice in Congress, when States with
less population and nothing like her re-
sources have two Senators and perhaps
:wo Representatives. have, therefore,
introduced bill for her admission. The
salubrious climate, the mineral wealth,
the grazing facilities and the heaItbful
ness of the Territory are only few OF
the advantages which it offers to new
settlers. The reason that il has not been
developed sooner is that it has been cut
off from the world, but now that bands
of steel have united it with the East

ITO be rich, said William l. Marcy,
at one time Secretary of State, RE
guires only satisfactory state OF mind
One MAJ may be rich With hundred
dollars, while another, in the possession
of millions, mar thiak himself poor, and
if necessities o: life are enjoyed by each
it is evident that the man that Is best
satisfied with his possessions is the rlch-
est" To illustrate this idea Mr.. Marcy
related the following anecdote; White
| was Governor of the State of New YORK
| was called upon one morning at my
Office by a rough specimen of back
woodsman, who stalked in and commenced
conversation by inquiring if this was MIR.
Msrcyl l replied that was my name
Bill Marcy 7 ssid he. nodded assent
Used to live in Southport, didn't yei
answered in the affirmative, and began
70 feel a little curious to know who my
visitor was, and what he sas driving at.
That's what told EN-, cried the back
woodsman, bringing his hand down on
his thigh with tremendous force 1 told
en- you was the same Bill Marcy who
used to live in Southport, but they would
not believe it, and l promised the next
time l came to Albany to come and see
Won and find ont for sartin. Why, you
know me, don't you, Bill lf didn't
exactly like to ignore his acquaintance
altogether, but for The life Of me l could
not recollect having seen him before, and
so replied that he had a familiar coun-
tenance, but that was not able to call
him by name. My name is Jack Smith,
answered the backwOodsman, and we
used to 60 to school together thirty years
ago, in the little red school house IN old
Southport. Well, times have changed
since then, and you have become a great
man and got rich, suppose. l shook
my head, and was going to contradict
that impression when he broke in: Oh,
YES you are, and know you're rich no
use denying it. You was comptroller
for-for long time and the next time
We heard of you you was governor. You
must have heap of money, and I'm glad
OF it-glad to see you're getting along
SO smart You was always smart lad at
school, and knowed You would come to
something thanked him for his good
wishes and opinion, but told him that
political life did not pay so well as he
imagined / suppose, said ], fortune
has smiled on you since you left South
portF .On, yes, said be, l ham't got
nothing to complain of L have got along
right smart Shortly after you left
Southport our whole family moved up into
Vermont, and put right into the woods,
and | reckon our family cut down more
trees and cleared mora land than any 9TH
er in the whole state And so You have
made good thing OF it. How much do
you consider yourself WORTH asked,
feeling little curious to know what he
considered fortune, as he seemed to be
satisfied with his. -Well,' he replied, Il

but think STRENGTHENING himself up) if
all my debts were paid should be worth
hree hundred dollars clear cash" He was
rich. for he was satisfied"

DELEGATE BgENTs' ball to provide for
admission into the union Of the state OF
Washington has been reported from the
house committee Ga territories with
amendments. which wholly strike out the
provision for including part Of Idaho ter
ritory wi,hin the boundaries Of the pro
posed state, and which also stipulate that
The state constitution shall provide that
neither money nor the credit of the state
or Of any city, town or other municipal
corporation therein shall give or loan to
or in aid Of any association, corporation
~ private undertaking, and that the ag-
gresate debt Of the state shall not at any
time exceed 81 per capita of population
according to the last general census. The
amended bill further provides that half a
million acres Of public land granted for
school purposes shall not be sold for less
than 81 per acre, and that the funds de-
rived from such sale shall be kept invio-

" Pegging Away"

In its advances in Central Asia, which
are now vexing the minds of English
writers, if not openly of English states
men, the Russian government Is acting on
President Lincolns we'll known motto of
the advantage Of "pegging away, ,and
the Anglo-Indian press is calling upon
the government once more 10 protest
against the slow but sure progress OF the
Bear The English Will never stop pro-
testing, although they know perfectly
well that in this particular case protests
not backed nor intended to be backed by
deeds are idle and empty. Russia now
seems very likely to assume portion Of
territory which has hitherto belonged to
Persia, and after the Bear has plainly
covered it with his foot, the old story
will be repeated again. England will
complain of the advance, and Russia will
give assurance that though what has been
done-incidentally, of cannot
now be recalled, yet nothing Of the sort
shall ever take place again. When it
shall be repeated the same process will be
gone through with again, until Afghani-
stan is seriously menaced, when likely
enough England will do something serious
in the matter, and there will be trouble
for the Grand Dukes and Cossacks.

Realizing Our Danger.

There now appears to be fair pros
pect that something may be done toward
beginning the work of constructing
United S.a'es navy The Secretary of
the present alleged navy Is earnest IN the
matter lie has the very laudabe ambi-
zion Of wishing something to preside over
something better than a fleet of phantom
ships laid mp in the dockyards and a few
| squadrons Of wooden vessels, handsome
| and trim enough to look at but wholly
J unable TO either defend our coasts or 20
punish an enemy in the event of war
| The members of TIE naval committee Of
the House and Senate likewise appear to
have their hearts in the matter, and the
zeal of the officers Of the navy in the pre-
misses is well known The meeting at the
Office Of the Secretary Of the Navy Yes
ter,iay to consider the subI,ct was an evil
dence of the anxiety which exists to have
the work Of building navy begun with
the least possible delay. The Secretary
was correct in saying that "there was
great uranimity on the part of the press
and the people in favor OF the pre- ject of
rebuilding the navy" And these other re-
marks of his are well worthy of attention:
We have not Only To build navy, but
"a anci!ia'y to that purpose, or perhaps
| az controlling that purpose, We have TO
build our merchant marine trust that
the day rs not far distant when We may
all once mere welcome on the seas what
has buen a stranger tn them for many
years-our oa'r fag on onr own steamers
leaving our uvn shores, with our own
| produce and enga"ed IN conducting our
own commerca. There is also another
matter which should invoke Your atten-
ton. | refer 10 the uns.gitly, the ghast-
ly, useless, the EXPENSIVE dead stock
which We have in the way of ships and
other material aid which dead stock is
only protected at Il very costly pFIce from
destruction by the elements. The build
ing up oI our navy is a subject which
naturally attracts attention, from the fact
that our relations on the isthmus may be
-aid t. haze regcied at this time a criti-
cal point. 1t seems 10 lie pretty well
settled notion of our people that We can
not afford tO give ~ riaht If way across
rhs. IsIhUCs u any fLreigI power IL
seelns t. DC wei settled that, with our
vest p sessions or the Pacific increasing
rapidly IN POPULATION ard development,
Se sh' .uld have s.rnI= sure mode "f COM
munication across that isihnus which We
may call or "rn, and which We must, at
has; foI time, manifest cur ability to
protect. In order TO afford such protec-
;ion, the construction OF the nucleus ci a
navy becomes imPera:ively necessary.
Every word OF these sentences is timely
and important It IS not at all e1trava-
CANT TO say that no better use could be
made Of large portion of all our surplus
revenue for many years to cume than to
expend il in the construction of navy Of
which every American would feel proud.

it is, in the wa of signs, a success, but as a

Mormon maidens have uttered prayer
to congress in favor IT the malntainanee
of an institution which assigns to them
only part oxnership in their future hus-
bands. Mormon matrons have sent
forth & similar petition, in which they al
Iege that " they are happy In their homes,
satisfied with their marriage relations,
and desire no change" Mormon men,
more desan.ly, insnother document. take
their stand on what they call their rights.
The two first petitions may be regarded
as the strongest evidence of the degra-
dation OF the weaker sex In Utah. Among
CIrcassian female slaves, VINO never knew
Of any other state but that of paiygamy,
sentiments such as those expressed may
be found. There IS no knowing what
may be made of man or woman by as
siduous cultivation generation after gene
ration. The Sanissaries Of the Sultan IN
time became the most fanatical OF Mos
lens
But nothing of this kind has occurred
in Utah. There is only a second genera
ton there at the most Nothing but ter
rorism can therefore account for the
seeming aoquiescence Of the female sex in
system which relegates them to the
position Of slaves IN the most degrading
sense of the term. Christianity has ele-
yat.ad woman to the place which she now
occupies. Monogamy Is the corner stone,
not only of that religion, but Of civiliza-
ton. Normonism Is reaction-the
most extraordinary that has occurred in
the present century. 1t goes back to the
semi barbarism Of thousands of years ago
The Moslems never anna gamated with the
people whom they conquered in Europe
1t was not so much their religion, as the
social arrangement of polygamy that pre-
vented the fusion. Ii Charles Martel had
not driven them ba:k at Poitiers, the
Crescent would have destroyed the Cross.
But We have nothing whatever to do
with the Mormon religion. If it were
ten times more absurd and ridiculous
than it is, the Government could not in
terfere with It. The trouble is that the
Mormons have made felony tenet Of
their religion. That We must excise, ii
there is TO be any government by law in
this country. If the Morlnons can make
polygamy, which is felony. punishable
by Imprisonment in the Penitentiary in
every civilized State, a matter Of con-
science, thieves, counterfeiters, murderers
can do the same There will be nothing
more necessary than to consecrate their
particular vices with the name of religion.
1t is with thefelonious part of the Mormon
creed that Congress proposes to deal. 1t
is with that feature Of it exclusively that
the Edmunds bill does deal.
\ plurality of wives was net among the
early doctrines OF the Mormons 1t came
in late day IN the way Of revelation to
Brigham Young. Il is noticeable, in this
connection, that polygamy came to Ma
homet himself in the same order. 1t was
a late addition to his creed. and was i'm

The difference of opinion which often
exists between great corporations and
iuries in regard to the amount Of damages
which would fairly compensate plaintiff
who has been injured in body or mind by
those corporations is well illustrated in a
late English case. At the Leeds Assizes,
Willie Bray, a comic singer, sued the Mid
land railroad for injuries received IN an
accident at the Leeds Station III the lat
ter part of 1880, and the jury awarded
him s5, 600, although the company had
already magnanimously paid into the
court one shilling and fourpence AS sufti-
cient compensation.
