A Tilt between Cox and IIiAcOeIk on the
Mormon Question.
Special Dispatch TO the Intcllgenccr.
WASHINGTON, January lO.-A most spir-
tied discussion.took place in the House to-
day over the Cannon-Campbell case. The
House was occupied all day in the consid-
Grafton Of the case. Late this afternoon
Sunset Cox, in short speech, eulogized
the MormOns for their industry and liberal
spirit. Mr.. Hiscock took him severely to
task for this, and insinuated that he was in
sympathy with the Mormons.
Mr.. Cox replied that any man who rep
resented such a foul blot OH civilization as
the Oneida Community had been, ought to
say little about NIormonism. He then
protested in very pathetic period his ut
ter adherence of Mormonism and po-
lygamy, and sat down amid the uproarious
applause of both sides of the House. The
case was referred to the Committee on
Elections, who will recommend that it be
sent back to the House, which will end it
for this session.

A Nocturnal Ramble and What Came

Some genius-we suspect him to belong
to the jovial order of humanity-has said ::
'The day to drone and dream, the night to
learn and ramble." We do not propose 10

Last Tuesday morning 1 experienced a very
annoying stiffness of the neck, which grew
worse as the day wore ON. Toward evening
1t became very severe, and l could scarcely
turn my head in any direction. Arriving
home at tea time. it was with difficulty that
| could eat my meal. My wife wanted to
rub my neck with St Jacobs Oil but T re-
fused, saying thought the afliotiop would
soon pass away. Tea over, against the re-

not reach my home until toward 2 A. NJ. by

GOV. LUBBOCK COMES TO THE RESCUE

Gov. Frank Lubbock is at present state
treasurer. and also candidate for reelection.
Being state treasurer, il is supposed that he
knows something about state finances; but 1t
is evident if he does know anything, ne IS
not disposed to tell it. Judge Ireland having
stated that Gov. Davi. rade bonded debt OF
5000, 900, Lubbock stretches the blanket al
most to that figure. This is pitlable, - be-
cause the candidate for governor is reckless
enough to make false statement, high
state official, because he is running on the
same ticket, feels that it is necessary to do
the same thing. Truth, justice, have no place
in political controversy when desperate set
of old ofice-seekers are before the people.
Now, there is no necessity of paying atten-
ton to all the false statements made by little
Lubbock, - one is sufficient to prove the
character Of the whole; we quote from the re-
port of the Gaveston News:
sHe commended that fifty cents on the dollar
was the highest price brought by warrants
when Davis had possession OF the govern
ment."
Warrants were discontinued, but if they
were ever as low as fifty cents, we never heard
of it. But if they were Mr.. Lubbock and his
crowd were to blame for it.
But Lubbock, as treasurer knows better, il
he doesn't he is unfit for the place he holds
and aspires to.
We thought this old sinner had partially re-
formed, that he had lost something OF his
old violence. AS governor Of the state dur
ing the confederacy he is credited with ad-
vising the hanging Of the Union men in the
mountains "without the benefit of clergy" 1t
is sad commentary upon great and grow
ing state when its chief Office Of trust is placed
in the hands of man who is too old bour-
bon to learn anything or forget anything; who
is lacking in manliness enough to avoid
making misstatement, because he thought a
lie would answer better. The people are get
ting tired of this kind Of thing and if Lubbock
was not sheltered by the shadow of a demo-
cratic nomination would send him into per-
manent retirement.

The golden rod the rose replaces,
And scarlet leaf CLEANS here and there,
Herald of Autumn transient graces.
Give grateful thanks that with >whitened locks
And dim, sweet eyes, there are fresh, warm

That the best of life fades not away
When the flush and ardor of youth departs.

But the rose of Joy blooms on for the soul,
