of honesty, in extorting by conhsca-
ton, or other theft, the means of sus
tanning Mormon harlotry and contlnu-
ing its organized defiance of the gov
eminent and people. We might have
been spared that proverbial oratlon'
and suppose it not so only because the
hobby has been overridden and is TAX
ing a rest, while the "elequent speech"
of the ambitious young member is to
be displayed in some more novel and
noticeable guise than the long bruted
and tiresome denunciatians of the lust
of the polygamist and the audacity at
the Mormon hierarch. Let us believe
so, and venture to hope that another
congress will renew the practice of SIM
ulating virtue which it will be sure
not to possess for the sake of giving
the national hypocricy, some color OF
truth and the national shame refuge
from the meanness of confession.
1t is not always realized how closely

margins profitable business may be
carried on. The recent burning of one

the prophecies of the old testament

is required to reach before the. govern

finally upon the infamous hierarchy
that has so long overrldden all nation

shame in still tolerating the polygamous
enormitics that are widening the area

the dominion of this audacious and
brazen harlot.
There is no breach of good morals
in national legislation, no sordid

CONGRESSIONAL REFORM.

The United States house OF repre-
sentatives was occupied on the 18TH
inst. in revising its rules. In the dis
cussion of that requiring the appoint
ment of the standing committees by
the speaker, at the commencement OF
each congress-, it was shown that the
committee to which all matters pertain
ing to railroads and telegraph lines be-
tween the Mississippi river and the Pa
cifc coast were required to be referred,
contained but a single member from
anv district west of the Mississippi.
This member was Mr.. Dunn, OF Ar
kansas. Beyond him the whole vast
territory interested in legislation affect
ing these lines is entirely unrepresent-
ed on the committee, which is COM
prised of only members remote from
these lines, and having no interests IN
common with them. Certainly 1t IS
time to consider whether some other
mode of choosing standing commit
tees than that of appointment by the
chair ought not to be devised The
duty is an enormous one OF which any
speaker would like to be relieved. The
vesting of such power in the speaker
necessarily operates demorallzlng ef-
feet in the election of that officer, sup
port being a virtual bride not ex-
pressed, or, perhaps, thought OF as
such, yet by which the influence OF ia
voritism steals unaware into the official
discharge of this high function. IT the
.house cannot, by ballot, choose these
committees, if no other or,better mode
can be devised than for the speaker to
appoint them, the appointing power
should be SO far restrained as to pre-
vent such gross deviation from the very
reason of the act, as the situation OF
the railroad and telegraph interests re-
ferred to, denotes.
A rule ought at least be adopted by
which the choice of members to con-
| .:.... -~>,,,,;++aec cbould he confined
to those representing sections most in
terested in the matters to be referred.
The house denoted Its sense of the
need of this judicious reform in its ap-
plause of Mr.. Mr.. Kasson of Iowa,
who, however, made but brief allusion
to it instead of earnestly proceeding to
carry the measures out, that being the
proper occasion for doing it.

THE EXPIRES AND FEDERAL PA
TRONAGE

As our neighbor, the Express, is not
living in expectation of any federal
pap, but as much of its local support
comes from republicans who are too
liberal and sensible to allow politics to
interfere with business, and very prop
erly pauonize the Express from bust
ness standpoint, the Express imaglnes
that it must now and then put its fin
ger into the republican pie and stir it
up little, and it actually claims en-
dorsement from republicans.
In this mornings issue the editor
vaguely hints at the idea that he has
hit somebody, but as he can't come
nearer to it than vague intlmation we
must leave him alone in his conceit.
But the portion of the article treat
ing on the abuses of federal patronage,
. we endorse in the main. To speak OF
real abuses and wrongs committed I'M
der the shield of the government is the
legitimate Office of the press, no mat
ter what its politics may be. But
when the Express gets to prospecting
around to abuse men who are not in
ofice its opinions do not deserve to be
treated with common decency.

A $4,000 FIRE.
Burning of a Large furniture Factory
Last Night.

BURNING of Large furniture Factory
Last Night.
At fifteen minutes past 6 o'clock last night
IRE alarm was turned in from box 1874,
which sent the fire department flying to the
East Side. The occasion of the alarm was a
fire which had broken out in James T. E.
wells large furniture factory, situated on
Fifth avenue south between Ninth and Divis-
ion street, East Side. The building was con-
structed entirely of wood and the flames
spread rapidly. When the department arrived
upon the scene the destroying element had
gained such Roadway as to completely battle
all efforts to save the factory, which was two
hours later totally burned to the ground. The
building was fifty by one hundred and
forty feet, two story structure owned by Mr.
Elwell and leased and operated by Mccullough
& Lee. The building was valued at $1,000.
The machinery was owned mostly by Mr.. FL
well, although Messrs. Mccullough & Lee
owned portion of 1t and was valued at from
$4,000 to $4,000. Some 5000 or Sc ,0Oe
worth of fine hard wood lumber was also de.
stroyed. The latter was owned by Mccullough
& Lee, but owing to the fact that the senior
member of the firm is at present in Florida anG
the junior member also out of the city, prob
ably in Rush City, it was impossible to get a
he exact amount OF either the losses or TIT

amounts of the insurance. The engine and
engine house owned by Elwell was partially
destroyed and valued at $4,000.
The building next adjoining the factory was
large storing house owned by Merriman &
Barrows and worth $500. Next the factory
towards Ninth street is Elwsll's large wir
spring mattress factory, which, considering
the dry and combustible materials of which it
Is composed, the firemen did most excellent
work in rescuing from the flames almost in
tct. A large pile of lumber was partially de-
stroyed and pretty badly damaged. It is es-
timated that the loss all told will exceed
$4,000.
james T. Elwell's loss on mill building is
$500, on engine, boiler and engine house
1000, on machinery $1,000, on stock inside
