ORGANIZED LAULESSNESS.

Ii is gratifying that President Arthur cx-
presses an earnest desire to have the chronic
instruction in Utah treated Cl1cctually with
out delay. Moreover, law-abiding and decent
pcosle will agree with him That the case is so
urgent that something in the right direction
ought to be done at once, even if il is impos-
sille quite vet to get the best thing done.
There are two important ends to be kept III
view. Utah must be made a civilized and
! lOyal Territory, for one thing; and this can
not be done at once. But the honor and
sovereignty Of the United States must also be
maintained, and some step in that direction
should be taken without delay. 1t is quite
possible that public opinion may not yet be
prepared for all the measures which will be
found necessary before a real and thorough re-
generation of Utah can he effected Butif that
is so, it is not Il reason for doing nothing. On
the contrary, something should be done at
once. to show that the United States does not
propose to be defed continually and inSolentiy
bv an organized notification Of its laws, with
out making some effort to maintain its author
ity and to afford protection to its law-abiding
citizens. At the same time it is best moi to
indulge the dcusion that any half-moasures
will prove sufficient
In this point of view it seems unnecessary to
crticise the measures which have been offered
in the Senate and the House. Not one OF
them we believe it safe to say, will go to the
root of the evil Utah will remain plague
spot, a disgrace and a curse, after either OF
them has been passed and, as far as it can be,
carried into execution. Bat if nothing better
can be DONE one or the other of these bills
ought to be passed, that the Executive may
quickly be clothed with power to make some
beginning in the right direction. An honest
trial of IA measure which sincere aud we'll
meaning men are now advocating, even if it
ends IN dismal failure, would do good, for it
would convince them that this dccp-rOoted
disease cannot be cured by bread pills OF
soothing applications.
The root of the matter in Utah is that the
sC-callcd Mormon organization is a conspiracy
to nulify the laws and defy the authority of
the United States. Poygamy is a mere incl
dent. 1t is disgusting, demOralizing, infamous
and an offence 10 civilization, but il is like the
external sores which bctray the presence of a
loathsome disease; the disease might remain,
as deadly as ever though the sores Oh the
surface should be healed. If pOlygamy could
be cxtinQuished entirely, the Utah question
would remain just what it is now. MOrmonism
sets ND n rebellion against the Constitution
and laws of the United States. 1t binds pco-
pie by solemn Oaths to resist that authority,
if called upon; to defeat it by refusing testi-
mony OF by tcstifying falsely; to use the bal
lot and any other civil power as the leaders of
the instruction may direct, and for the Dur-

At New-Iork a decrease appears and 1t Is
not due wholly to differences in transactions in
the stock market. Oatside of NewlUrk the
increase for three weeks has been only SO per
cent whereas had business been as active as it
was in january last, the rise in prices would
have caused Il larger increase in values eX-
changed. But the increase in volume of
money IN circulation has been greater than the
increase in.prices. Controller Knox shows that,
from November /, 1880 10 November |, 1881,
the increase in all kinds Of money in use was
%153, 900, OOO or over II per cent and the in
crease in amount outside the Treasury ana the
banks was $10l 900, 900, or over , per cent.
More money has been injected into circulation
than has been needed, even for the initiation Of
prices up to this time, and Yet that imitation has
checked exports of products.
The suprlIluOus currency must in some way
be curtailcd, because the country has no use for
a part of It. If slight change in the state Of
foreign trade occurs, COLA will flow abroad, and
we shall have left the silver certificates which
represent 9O-cent dollars. II the banks and the
people make some discrimination against the
silver certificates, however, these can be gradu-
ally retired by payments to the Treasury, until
the volume of currency in use Is not greater
than the present state Of business requires. In
the end the latter remedy would involve the
least loss and risk to all interests. Exports of
gold would tend TO create alarm, and might
cause more harm than those anticipate who look
for such a movement. But retirement OF silver
certificates 10y returning them to the Treasury
would 90 no harm, and would only relieve the
channels OF trade from an excess OF paper
money. Perhaps considerations OF personal
convenience and safety may lead the banks,
before long, to lake such steps as will promote
the rapid retirement of tie certificates.

THE "TPSE DIYTT."

II ia not to be denied that the Tammany
anti-monopoly balance of power at Albany
seem disposed to take unfair advantage OF
their opponents Else why do they keep dodg-
ing under the cover of dead language to
conceal their purposes Almost the first thing
that happened after the converting OF the Leg
isaturc was the announcement or what
they called an "utimatum." The Conn
try Democrats, when asked the cause OF the
deadlock, had to tell their constituents that 1t
was John Kelly's ultimatum," and the con-
stituents were long time trying to find out
whether an ultmatum was some new form
of olComargarinc, Il new thing III butter, or
new place on the payroll. BY the time they
had mastered that term, an Albany paper an
nounced that Kelly had issued an "ipse diXit,"
and that that was the only thing that stood IN
the way of the establishment of harmony and
the organization of the Legislature. The
"ipse dxit" makes more trouble than the
"utimatum did. The Country Democrats, on
their return to their constituents, are beset
with inquiries as to what this "ipse dlxlt " Is
that stands in the way of business.
They were just beginning to be able to dis
cuss intclligeutly the "ultimatum when it ia
whskcd away from them and they find an
"ipsc dixit" set up in place of it. This
sort of presto change business is very
confusing to the average Democratic mind.
They cannot understand why an affair
of this kind should be carried on with
the phrases of dead language, unless it is
for the purpose of evasion. The Tammany
people are really taking an unfair advantage
of their wcll-knOwn familiarity with Lain.
When they began by Offering an "ultimatum"
they should have stuck to it. But they with
drew it as soon rs the average Democrat had
begun to " get the hang" Of it, and set up IN
place of it an "Ipsc dixit" And now that
the Country Democrats are beginning to
grasp the "ipsc dixif and toss it back and
forth in debate, ten chances to one it will be
Withdrawn next week and sine qua non
or something of that sore substituted for it.
This seems to us hardly fair. What the
Country Democrats want Tammany to do is to
talk United States' in other words drop
the "ultimatums,r "ipsc dixits" "sinc qua
nonsn and all that, and name a fair price,

pose of multiplying laws of the Union; and to
| commit any crime that may be commanded
even murder itself, in unfolding that insurrec-
ton. Law-abiding citizens OF the Unlted ota'cs'
whose duties or interests take them 10 utai''
seek in vain the protection to which they art
entitled under the laws. Their lives anu prop
erty arc mt the mercy of the rebellion. Many
have been murdered, and many robbed, but
| for these and other crimes it has been found
| impossible to punish the conspirators or their
tools.
| 1t happens that the people who have thus
| conspircd to resist the laws of the United
States have committed an overt act or
crime by living in polygamy. On the
LIST of July it will be just twenty
| years since a law was enacted expressly
| for the purpose of preventing and punish
ing the crime of bigamy in the Territories,
and the Utah rebels, while resisting and defy
ing the United States in other respects, have
! been for twenty years living in daily violation
of this law. If proper tribunals could be had'
nearly every prominent Mormon could be con-
victed heavily fined and imprisoned for term
| of five years on account OF each marriage altcr
the first. But proper tribunals never can be
| had in Utah so long rs that Territory is OccIl-
MED by q body of law-breakers who are per-
mitted, as if they were loyal citizens, TO elect
| their own officials and to exercise other pow
crs of self-government. With the advent OF
railroads and the development of mines, dlf-
ferent population might have been drawn to
| Utah. But the cOnspirators who have Dcch
living in open notification, and in daily vlo-
| lation of law and who have 10 rights that
| the United States is bound to respect, have
robbed the Union of nearly all the available
land in the Territory. A very large part OF 1t
was secured by fraud, and much more Is
held by men who ought to spend the rest OF
their lives in prison cells, or to he hanged for
completely in murders. and yet the msnrec-
ton practically excludes other permanent pop
uatiOn by means of its monopoly OF the land
1t is questionable whether this monopoly
can be broken so long as the Territorial organ
ization and laws of Utah, framed 10y the null
lfcrs for their own defence are permitted to
stand.
1t will be seen that polygamy lies only on
the surface. The problem is to get rid of an
organized conspiracy, deeply rooted i'll mon
nopoly of the land, and in laws framed and
officials selected under forms of self-govcrn-
mcnt, of which bigamOus marriages are mere
incident. Ii will not be possible to punish
that particular violation of law, or any other,
so long as men who defy all laws of the Unit
ed States are suffered to enjoy the privileges
of self government, and to select for them
selves the officials by whom, if at all, the
proceedings for their own conviction and
punishment must at present he conducted.
The first step toward n real solution of the
problem is to sweep away entirely the forms Of
scif~govcInment and the legal rights and
franchises behind which the law-brcakcrS
have cntrcnchcd themselves.

The Legislature has adjourned until Monday,
thus closing the fourth week of the session
without having made the smallest apparent
progress toward an organization. When it re-
assemblies Asscmblyman BrOdSky should try
again with his resolution providing that the can
didato having the highest number of votes
shall he Speaker. A Speaker was chosen by
that method in 1853, and there seems to be
10 other feasible way out OF the present snarI.
If it were not for the necessity of passing the
annual supply bills to keep the machinery OF
the State Government running, the people
would say that the best thing this Democratic
Legislature could do under the circumstances
would be to 90 home and stay there till next
winter; hut the money must be voted from the
Treasury and an organization must therefore
be effected sooner or later by seine scheme or
other. All hopes of union between the DEM
ocratic factions seem to be abandoned. If
there are any patriotic men IN either Of them
willing to open a way to the transaction OF
business, they cannot do better than to vote
for Mr.. Brodsky's plan.

TOO NAVY PROMISES.

Silver certificates have in some cases been
offered at small discount. They come from
the interior in large amounts, to such banks rs
consent 10 receive them, or are sent here to be
converted on the best terms possible into bank
able funds, and the supply exceeds the demand
for payment of duties Some banks therefore
offer loans at a trilc better rates if the bOr-
towers will consent to receive the money IN
silver certificates. The tendency is toward the
establishment of n separate quotation for these
notes, Just as uncurIent or inferior bank notes
used 20 be quoted before the war. 1t can
hardly be doubted that the Government has
issued more of these certificates than the coun-
try can proftably USE i'll addition to other
money in circulation. The tendency has been
to promote speculation and initiation of prices.
The natural remedy is either public discrimina-
ton against the inferior form OF currency, so
that its buying power will become limited or
expectation of gold.
Since January 1881, the average advance in
prices has been rs per cent. II, in spite of this
advance trade had remained as active as it was
a wear ago, rs per cent more money of all
kinds would be required to meet public wants.
But trade has not remained as active as it was a
wear ago The exchanges at this city and at
twenty-four clearing houses outside OF New
York, for three weeks of January, compare
