The Bulletins "Burlctte'' was over,
we presume, Sunday, looking at the
flood. This much we infer from his
account Of the outlook ut Trenton. We
are certainly pleased with his allusion
to us, so enthusiastically Byronic and
orientally attractive, and assure him
the gloomy fofebodings we have had
of travelling in u. one-iniividual dug
out, fearing to take our eyes from a
direct right or left. Again, We con-
graduate him upon the addition of Il
as Veniciate, and hope it may rebound
to the reputation Of this new disciple
of French.

take a map of Siberia one could form
some idea OF its size y cutting out the
size of Germany, France, Austria and
Hungary; for there would be sufficient
land still left over to create Great
Britain and Ireland out OF the single
province OF Yeneseisk. But all that
enormous expanse is empty. The pop
nlation OF Yeneseisk is only 81, 900, or
about half the population Of Moscow.
The whole population of Siberia is less
than the population o. London.
Siberians do not seem distressed at
these distances, and think nothing CT
riding 100 miles to attend ball or
banquet, but entertainments of that
sort are only held in towns, which are
very few, only seventeen having more
than 5000 inhabitants. OF course,
much OF Siberia is not fit for COLOMBIA
ton; the land is evidently greatly
altered since the times Of the NAM
moths and other antediluvian animals.
But nevertheless there is evidently n
great want Of population.
To supply that want has been the
constant thought OF Russian statesmen.
It is that which partly has led them to
establish penal settlements in Siberia.
There is q certain appropriateness about
that which is quito undersigned. 1t is
perhaps not altogether uniting that
Siberia, conquered by halfbrigand,
should become tho tcme Of the con-

A STITCH IN TINE.

Your children are always getting into
trouble OF some sort or other. They cut
or burn their hands, sprain their ankles,
crush or hurt themselves in many ways.
They have sudden attacks OF cramps, diar-
rhGa or dysentery. A physician is sent
for, delay ensues, and frequently the con-
sequences are serious. This could all be
avoided by having a suppy of PoND's Ex-
TRACT at hand. Nothing will relieve pain
so quickly, stop bleeding or heal wounds.
bruises, etc. Its action is quick, sure and

While at Santa Fe, N. NJ, short

pointed by the President to examine
the Atlantic and Pacific railroad beyond
Albuquerque, dropped in at the ma

Governor Sheldon. The governor bap-
pened to be opening his correspond

visitor the following communication

Shall we have a Mormon war? On
this subjec. New York daily paper
says: Dr. Meyer, OF Vienna, who has
recently spent some time in Utah, e1-
presses the opinion that il would take
an army OF $50, 600 men for the United
States to put down rebellion OF the
Mormons, and that the conflict would
probably last several years. Such an
opinion should command the attention
OF the whole country. 1t is impossible
for the nation to reyard Mormon polyg.
amy with tolerance as permanent in-
stitution. 1t is futile to hope for its
extinction except by force, although
some affirm that the progress Of it's
decay has been perceptible for years.
The strong arm OF the government
must be lifted up against the evil. and
the sooner it is done the better for the
entire republic. The Mormons are
rapidly growing in wealth. population
and power, and ten years hence they
would be vastly more formidable in re.
bellion than q. the present time.
Prompt and wise action by Congress,
according to the plan laid down by
Garfield and indorsed by mis- successor,
might eradicate polygamy from Utah
without provoking rebellion. But il
a Mormon war is inevitable, the sooner
it comes the better, both for the Nor
mons and for the Gentiles OF the re-
public.

2T1'FOR TAT:

Russia recently made good retort
to "fool'' America or the ''fool' Con-
gress which passed the anti-Chinese
bill. Thus. our government was pro-
testing against the stoning and expnl-
sion of the Jews from Russia, at the
very moment that fool" Congress
had passed Il bill for the exclusion and
virtual expulsion of the Chinese. Rus
;sia turned this on the Americans hand
.somely.
Another inconsistency connected
with this Chinese matter: We noticed
that the clergy of San Francisco were
actively at work for the Chinese
bill, mainly on the ground that the
.Chinaman was setting up heather re-
ligion among US. The next day these
.clergymen were Begging all over San
Francisco for money to send mission
aries to China to convert the heather.
Here was ''heathen'' right at their
doors. with all ''Christian" influences
and civilization around him, and still
the ''fool'' clergy confess they cannot
COVE him here, aid so they want
him sent back and send /, missionary
after him to sQuander our money III
trying to ''convert" him on his own
soil. Beecler was right when he said
it was 4 ''fool'' Congress for passing
the bill, but he ought also to have said
it was ''fool'' clergy for favoring it.
Between us, however, please don't let
this get out,) the fact is the fool
clergy Of San Francisco know that
they cannot get money out of the Chi.
naman to support them and their
churches and hence they want him to
''go." John Sinim don't organize
readily into deacon or a dupe, with a
nickle day to support the clergy.

THE COMING COMET.
Another comet is OH its way to the
sun and it will soon be visible to the
naked eye between midnight and morn
ing. About June, it is expected, the
comet will be on in full splendor, pre-
senting such a spectacle as has not
been witnessed since 1853 and probably
since 1911. Some think it may equal
in splendor the great comet of 1864,
which SPAWNED the heavens with its
tail.
OF course, people who do not pay the
printer, and who have wronged the ed
itor. are growing uneasy, for fear
something dire may befall them from
this magnificent visitor. This is prob
ably the case. They will have to suf-
fer. Meanwhile, we rest in a clear

next one means the overthrow OF the
old European political and religious
systems, we shall shout amen: ard
