NOT so BAD AS REPORTED.

It is now stated that the Costa Rica
earthquake has been very much exagger.
ated, and that in fact no towns have been
destroyed there. 1t is to be hoped that
the second report is true. Costa RIGA,
however, has always been subject to con-
WILSON'S of this kind, and the people,
though they perhaps do not become used
to earthquakes, yet cease to be much
alarmed unless the shocks are very vic.
lent, In such cases they are prone to rush
frantically into their churches, which, be.
ing lofty and for the most part domed,
constitute excellent traps. When the
earthquake is heavy one the church
walls open, the roof falls into the body of
the edifce, and the people who have sought
safety there are crushed. This has hap
pened a great many times, and in all parts
of the earthquake belt, but the people
never learn any better, though they have
gathered so much from experience in other
respects that they sometimes build their
houses upon deep excavations or caverns,
having discovered that the violence of
earthquake shocks is dissipated by that
arrangement. This of course is on the
principle of solution of continuity in the
conducting medium. In the same way it
has been observed that earthquake waves
make the least rapid progress, and are
least violent, where the surface of the
ground is cut up into gullies and ravines,
or is otherwise broken. The old Romans
understood this, and were accustomed to
dig number of wells round their public
buildings, for the express purpose of break
ing earthquake shocks.

great agony.
A 9-year.old-daughter of Thomas Ford,

Negotiations have been opened between
the Sprigman heirs and the city authorities

A mill workman at Belmont, O., took
his pay home Saturday and handed it to
his wife in the envelope. Not appreciat-
ing the situation, she tossed the envelope
into the fire, thinking it contained nothing
of value. She soon realized her mistake,
however.

TIE AETI-PoLYGAMY BILL.

The Anti Polygamy bill has passed the
House. The Democrats made an effort to
retard its passage by offering amendments,
and though several of them asserted that
they were in favor of the measure, they
were reminded by Republican that the
method they had resorted to was identical
with that which had caused the defeat of
every previous bill directed against the
Mormons. In fact it appears to have been
very we'll understood that the Mormons
were well represented in the lobby, and
that they were willing to go to some
lengths to beat the bill. 1t was passed,
and as we suppose there can be no doubt
about the willingness of the President to
sign it, it remains to be ascertained whether
it will accomplish the end arrived at. 1t
is unquestionably drastic law, but it was
drafted to meet an evil which has become
not merely intolerable, but formidable
And it had become apparent that it was
not safe to leave political power in the
hands of community which was always
prepared to use it at critical junctures for
the corruption of either national party,
and which might at some time hold the
balance of power. 1t might not be easy
or even practicable to do away with po-
lygamy but it would not be impossible to
disfranchise those who practiced it and
when once the Mormon Church had been
disarmed in this way, it must be very
much easier to deal with the evil. The
new bill will. we think, at least. render
the Mormon Church powerless in ma
tional politics, and that alone is very i'm
portant gain. for it simplifes the whole
question, and by reducing the capacity for
resistance possessed by the polygamists, is
calculated to convince them of the neces-
sity of submission. Hitherto they have
been very confident and very insolent. At
last they are about to feel the weight of
the country's power, and it cannot but
tend to produce more sober and humble
thoughts in them. The choice is offered
them between citizenship with all its rights
and privileges. and polygamy under the
shadow of the penitentiary and the dis
grace Of Acknowledgement. We are not at
all confident that they will make the wisest
selection. But however much ignorance,
fanaticism and habit may prevail among
them, they will have to realize that hence
forth every polygamist will be dead
weight on the Church. hindrance instead
of help. 1t may also be hoped that the
anti. polyglmic Mormons of Utah, who cor
stitute respectable minority in the Church
at present, will be emboldened by this
legislation to push forward for the control
of the organization. The less combative
aud more timid elements will inevitably
drift towards them, and if they take ad.
vantage of the opportunity they may sue
coed in overthrowing the advocates OF
polygamy, who certainly are not orthodox
from the standpoint Of original Joe Smith
MormOnism. In any event the new bill
will draw the teeth of the tiger, and how.
ever much it RACES hereafter it will be un.
able to effect anything through politics.

Estates in foreign capitals should be sup
"ported more literally or withdrawn. The
"saIaries and allowances have been whit
"tled down SO small that only rich men
can afford to accept the positions and
"supply out of their private purses
"the extra expenses entailed upon them
"by the responsibility of entertain
"ing Americans and keeping up
'swith the social and official demands
"of their relations. This is perfectly
true. There is no justification whatever
for the niggardly way in which the diplo-
matte service is maintained. All talk
about republican simplicity" has long
been nonsense. for we are in no respect
more simple" than the rest of the world,
and wealth and luxury are to day as COM
mon in all parts of the republic as in
Europe. Moreover, the Consular service
pays the Government very handsomely.
The fees at several of the Consulates
amount to $50, 600 or $50. 600 year each,
and are increasing all the time. As we
grow in wealth and consequence it be-
comes the more necessary that we should
be represented abroad with dignity and in
large and generous manner. By prac-
tieing stinginess we only produce the ef-
feet of degrading the United States abroad
to the level of the South and Central
American States, and we do not gain 8
particle of credit for republican sim
"plicity," because every man and woman
of the world knows perfectly well that
even republics always cease to be simple
when they cease to be poor. Until there
is reform in this respect, however, it
cannot be expected that We shall enjoy the
consideration abroad which our resources,
and general power and Importance, entitle
us to claim.

that Bismarck has no fears in that direction,
and he neither expects an attack nor intends

The Chicago Tribune, in commenting
upon the recent Congressional debate on

that "the Consular service of the United

cit is for the commercial interests of this
