JUDGE BLACK ON THE PeLYGAMIsTs.
One thing more: "Are you not aware that
the religious people of ali denominations in
this country and in Europe are strongly pre-
JUDGED against the Mormon doctrine Of
plural marrissesg
Judge Black-I know that nearly all
Christian men and women condemn il, be-
cause they conscieniiously believe it to be
inconsistent with the teachings of the New
Testament and the Gospel az preached by
the Apostles and settled by the councils of
the church. Their reason and knowledge
bring them TO the conclusion that polygamy
Is a feature of Asistic manners which is
wholly unsuited TO America and Western
Europe. They believe it not only sin but
great evil in its effects upon society. / do
not call that prejudice; i is an honest con-
vlctIon. 1t Is an honest conviction which
reaches the hearts of good people throug b
their intellects. But the citizens who fee |
this sentiment most strongly are possibly
those who will be found most anxious TO Sc
cure the Mormons in their constitutional
rights. No howl for piunder, no outcry for
blood ever comes from them. They do not
even say, Stand aside, am holier tn an
thou" 1t is the infdel who believes in
nothing, and the political preacher, who has
no gospel but his NAV. They would per-
juriously trample down all law 10 get at the

Kossuth,s birthday.

On the 18th of September Louis Kossuth
was eighty years old, aud celebrated his
birthday, the London Telegraph saya, sin
his modest dwelling at Turin, surrounded by
the members of his family audea few of his
most intimate friends. The scion of noble
but impoverished house, he was born in the
second year Of the present century, at Monor,
in the county of Z.mplin, and at COM
psratively early age gave promise of the
extraordinary natural gifts that, later 90,
obtained his universal recognition az the
greatest orator of au eloquent nation Hav-
ing at one period of his life played a part
second TO none in one of the most thrilling
political dramas ever performed upon the
European stage, he lapsed toto obscurity
shortly after the final collopse of the Hun
garian instruction, and seemed, as lime
went on and his country recovered her lost
liberties by peaceful means, to lose touch
of his countrymen. Between the ex-dictstor
and Msgyars of the existing reglnle, fsithfnl
disciples of DHalism, there is probably
little mutual understanding and less sympa-
thy. For thirty years past Louis Kossuth
has lived in voluntary exile, far from the
political hurly-burly, and, but for some I'M
important dabbling in few abortive con-
spiracies, passive and apparently Indifferent
spectator Of events, M any of which had been
brought about by his instrumentality during
a previous epoch. Within the last five
years, however, the venerable patriot has
given the world convincing proof of his Wig
orous vitality in the shape of a three-volume
work, IN which his personal and political
were admirably recounted.
Hungary has now enjoyed for three lusters
all that Louis Kossuth sought to wrest by
force from Austria in 1S4S-49. Throughout
that period OF peace, prosperity and progress,
nothing but his own will has stood between
him and return from exile. In all proba-
bility be will die as he has lived, in self
imposed Punishment, and irreconcilable to
the Austro-Hungarian Union"

THE pROG 4 ESs OF sOUTHERN IMME-
GRAFTON.

The Louisville Courier Journal, OF Wednes-
day, has an article upon Immigrants and
the South" which shows that events and
circumstances are increasing our population
from the outside, and tending to do 80 in
still greater degree. In the North land is
becoming harder to get and higher in price,
and this is inducing many of the young aud
enterprising TO seek homes where there are
chances of more success aud of better gains to
industry. The attractions of geAial eli
mate, a rich soil, and good openings for per-
sons who understand agriculture and cattle
raising are turning the attention Of many
Northern people toward the South, and
many are selling out Improbable possessions
and settling where prospects are promising
and success readily obtained. The extern
sion of railroads, the opening of mines, the
increase OF manufactures, and the gradual
but certain decrease Of prejudice, all COM
bine to win the Northern people, who find
difficulties multiplying about their old
homes, to land smiled upon by the
sun, and possessed of a generous soil.
The following brief but expressive
statistics amply demonstrate the shape
events are taking. The government dis
posed of 8,650,21 acres of land in 1879; Of
this amount 4Sl ,174, or Sc per cent, were
located in Arkansas, Louisiana, Mississippi,
Alabama and Florids, the only Southern
States in which there are any public lands.
In 1880 the government sold 9,166,91S acres
OF land, of which amount 996,Sl5, or 1913
per cent, were located 10 the Southern States
named above In 1881 the government sales
were 1O,759, 107 acree, of which ], 5I7, 1856, or
141 per cent, were Southern lands, and in
the year ending June 80, 1882, the government
sales reached Is, 500 $40 acres, and in the South
the sales had increased to 1856, 764, or fif-
teen per cent. of the whole. In other words,
the total sales have not doubled since 1879,
while in the South they have increased al
most skiold The West, open to those
who desire more inviting prospects than
they find where they were born, is no longer
the West of thirty years ago. The steady
march of foreign immigration has every
year thrown it farther back, until only vast
and treeless prairies, subject to the vigorous
winters of Russian cline, or regions to be
cultivated only by the aid of irrigation, are
open 10 the seekers OF new homes. The |
Sonth hap. therefore, become the most in |
viting of any spot to those who find obtain
ing living in the North becoming every
year more difficult. Here, with good profit,
they can grow grasses and cultivate grain,
for the proceeds of which there is a steady
demand at good prices. The success of those
who come insures their being followed by
friends and old neighbors, and the work Of
once arrived at a certain stage
will proceed with unusually increasing
rapidity, until-Northern thrift being added
to Southern experience-our sunny land will
become the most prosperous and wealthy
that is to be found within the limits OF the
United States.

striking down the foundations upon which
the institutions Of aristocrstic power and
privilege repo,e. Ireland is Assuming
quieler attitude, the people there are hndlug
Gladstene's land law a tower OF strength,
protecting them against tbs oppression oil
grasping landlords, and they are placing
their reliance on the Land Court, which
the new law has instituted, rather
than on the agitation OF ParnelPs
Land Lssgue, or the horrors OF mob law ana
inexcusable assassinatioDs. As The law re-
sumes its empire, as rents are legally brought
down to just Limits, as security reigns where
disorder was lately triumphant, Ireland
tends more and more toward rePose that Is
heartily welcomed after the dark horrors
that have brooded over every mansion and
every cottage, stopped the flow OF trade, and
increased the miseries OF poverty. All this
tends 10 strengthen the position OF the Brit
ish minister, who can now turn his attention
10 the wants of the people of Great Britain.
These wants are likely to prove OF serious
description. The English, the Scotch, and
the Welsh tenants have their grievances as
we'll as those of the Irish. They know also
what il is 10 suffer from the selfish extor-
tions and insolent humiliations inflicted by
unjust landlords. The results of entail, OF
primogeniture, OF the obstructions TO the
sale and purchase Of land affect them
deeply, especially now American competition
in grain and meat is making inroads upon
their profits. But all those remnants OF
feudalism are the very rocks on whose
might the institutions that give power and
rank to lords, and dukes, and marquises rest
for existence and safety. But Gladstone has
given proof that when an oppressed class OF
people look to him for redress, and an over
bearing aristOcracy appeal 10 him TO con-
serve their privileges aud TO insure TO them
the right by which they oppress, that the
just claims of the people will receive his at
tention and be the subject of his efforts,
whatever may become of rights that are used
to iOfict wrong, and of privileges that vio-
late the demsnds of justice. The lovers OF
liberty everywhere will rejoice that the pres
ent English ministry now stand independent
of Tory aristocratic domiuatious.

Title.

The probable elevation OF Sir Garnet
Woiseley 10 the peerage has given rise TO
much speculation as TO bis title. In the Sc
lection of titles for eminent soldiers the En-
glieh practice has usually been TO include in
them some one or more of the battles, seigee,
or defenses in which they have made them
selves famous. Lord Strathnsirn is Lord
Strathnairn OF Strathnairn aud Jhausi, and
Lord Napier is Lord Napier of Magdala aud
Carynton. The first peersges received by the
Duke OF Wellington were the Viscounty of
Wellington OF Talavera, and Wellington
and the Bsrony OF Douro OF WELLESLEY, and
Marshal Beresford was created first Baron
Beresford of Albuera and Dungarvau. and

some local designation within the Queens
dominions, will most likely appear in the
next addition of Sir Bernard Burke's elab.

cons know, whom her majesty will have
made peer. His immediate predecessors
in this honor were Sir john Colome and Sir
John Keane, in 1889, both made lords In
1910 Sir Henry Hussey Vivian was made

The night L arrived, wrItess 4 Bsyreuth
correspondent, l had the unexpected pleas
ure OF seeing comedy. 1t was a gen.
uine German comedy too. Its subject mat
ter was the efforts of the Bayreuth fire bril-
gade TO put out fire. Twas awakened from
a sound sleep by the loud beating of q drum
under my windows. / could hear drums
beating in various parts of the city, the
church bells were ringing, there was the
heavy tramp of soldiers through the street,
people rushing about and shouting 6re-in
fact every indication of a fire, except the
noise OF FIRE engines. A house little way
down the street was burning. A crowd had
gathered there. found the infantry guard
ing patch OF beans, the cavalry stationed
about the potato patch with flashing sabers
and the artillery drawn up around pear
tree. The flames were cracking merrily
among the beams. At last, around the cor
ner appeared six big Germans carrying a
small ladder, and after them six small Ger
mans carrying big ladder. These twelve
Germans wore green suits and brass helmets.
When they had managed to place the big
ladder against The front of the house they
ran away again. After while we heard a
rafting as though dog with tin can tied
to his tail were running through the next
street. The twelve Germans sgain turned the
corner, drawing after them what looked like
a tin box on wheels. 1t was the ire-engine-
an open tin box with hand-pump. A hose
was attached. A fireman mounted the ladder.
Another fireman carried the hose up to him.
Meanwhile women with large wooden paniers
strapped 10 their backs brought water from
the neighboring fountain and emptied it into
the engine. Finally everything was ready and
the pumping began. Several large streams
OF water came from the joints of the hose
and wet the bystsnders. A small stream came
from the nozzle. The fire was such a trifle
that they really managed 10 get it pretty
well under control. Then they consulted as
to whether they should adjourn then and
there and get some beer or go on until the
fire was completely out. They decided 10
adjourn. In about an hour they came back
and finished their work. / heard one Bay
reuther say to another that alter all the Bay
reuth fire brigade was the best in the world.
The next day the City Council voted a reso-
luton of thanks and compensation of
twelve and one-half cents to the women who
carried the water from the fountain TO the
engine. During the PdrSitat performances
the 6remen distributed through the thea
ter. This seems 10 me unnecessary-the
building could burn down without their as

THE aEGIsTKATrox UrAs.

The Salt Lake Tribune states that nearly
all the returns OF the registration of voters
under the Edmunds law commissioners are
received, and they indicate an entire voting
force for the Territory Of $4,000 TO 81, 600 per-
sons. The Tribune adds that "there is no
reason 10 doubt that the registration was
fairly conducted, nor that all who wished to
register were afforded full opportunity 10 do
3d." Mormon papers that had made charges
of unfairness. afterward, in several instances,
Withdrew them. The returns show registry
of 32451 persons out of a population Of
l43,963, which is more than one voter 10
every four aud a half persons. AS the women
vote in Utah as we'll as the men, "the regis
try" says the Tribune, "might easily have
been double what it ia but for disiranchise-
ments. AS the registry might, counting
everybody, polygamists and all, easily
resch $4,000 TO 10000, it will be
seen that the polygamists disfranchised
must be in the neighborhood OF
$4,000, or possibly 10000" The loss of
these voters must be extremely Notifying
to the Mormons, but the disfranchised

women living in habitual transgression of
law. Judge A. 5. Carlton, one of the COM
missioners, has published an interesting COM
munication upon the subject of the Mormons,
who, be says, present "the hardest conundrum
1 ever had put to me. They are a worse
puzzle than the Eleusinian mysteries" He
found that they are not all fools or knaves,
while many are Intelligent and we'll edu-
Gated, but the common herd are honest and
stupid fanatics, and many are "crauks."
G-->-AiasiAner- Carlton has-na -dnnht-
polygamy is on the decline, one indication
of which is that the payment of tithes has
fallen off sixty-eight per cent. during the
last twenty years in proportion to the popu-
Iation. Notwithstanding the increase of pop
was twenty years ago. The admission OF
women to the suffrage adds materially TO the
political strength of the Mormons.
Appeals were made to the commissioners
to hold the law gividg votes 10 women
invalid, but they decided not 20 interf, re
with it. Mr.. Carlton says: at is not ex-
pected by any intelligent person that The
bill and the other acts OF Congress
will accomplish the purpose Immediately; |
but it is generally agreed that the Edmuuds |
bill is the hardest blow that has yet been
struck against polygamy and the power of |
he Mormon Church. Ten or fifteen thou |
sand men and women are disfrsnchised from |
voting and holding Office. And while the |
Mormons will likely carry the election for |
delegate to Congress in November, BY the !
