The question is not so much be-
tween this theory and that, this rem
edv and that-it is whether Congress
and the country are in earnest in
their purpose to uproot the evil. 1t
is absurd to argue that polygamy can
not be crushed out-if the country is
ready for the work. But every year
that the let-alone policy is kept up,
the difficulty of dealing with the ques-
ton will increase. 1t would seem
that the time was fairly ripe for Crap
ping with the eyil-an evil which me-
naces not only our social and moral,
but our political institutions. The
utterances of the President, the bills
introduced in Congress, and the
quickened interest in the public dis
cussion of the question, all point in
one direction. Let Mormonism once
be convinced that the Nation is in
earnest, and half the battle will be
won Boston Journal.

1t is estimated that 100000, 900

to have spent 50,000,00O in new
buildings the past year, while Chicago
boasts of 80, 900 new. buildings, and
other cities and towns make similar

that this is considerable of a country

Mr.. James goes out of the post Of
flee department with very honorable
record, and he leaves the department
in a state of increased efficiency at a
dimished cost. The figures for the
third quarter of 1881 show that the
receipts came within $196, 400 of
meeting the expenditures, and it is
thought that the figures for the fourth
quarter will show that the department
is self-sustaining. The only people
hurt by Mr.. James's retrenchments
have been the star-route contractors.
