TIE MORNOsS

The Mormon question before Congress
 has awakened a widespread interest
 The only objectionable features in that
 creed are polygarny and a sort of close
 corporation in political affairs. Trop
 the subject the National Republican
 makes the following comments: ..Tbe
 Mormon hierarchy in Utah is an orran-
 ized rebellion against the authority and
 laws of the United States. IL exercises powers which would cause revolution If attempted by any other church organ ization. l. puts its laws concerning marriage and the family above the laws which govern those whom # moekinrlv designates as "Gentiles." It controls property and its transfer by deed and VIII m utter disregard Of any law but its own. It has possession of the election machinery and grinds ont its own officers at pleasure. If polygamy had no ex- lstence n Utah the United States gov would be none the less bound sooner or later to rid the Government of that Territory ofthe usurpations of an msoient, overbearing and hostile priest hood. This IS Government of law, and freedom of religion carrief witlf if no power to substitute an ecclesiastical Tovernment This question is one which | knows no party lines, and it seems evi- 1 lent that thor0ughness of treatrn,nt is ' 10 follow theiong waiting of the past. Edmunds has done a great work | n this matter and has been ably second 'd by Senator Garland"

| New Mining Region.
BisnHrk Tribune.


 The chances are becoming numerous that the new silver mining region in hhe vicinity of Fort Maginnis, M. T., will st-- tract a big stampede III the Spring Five miners and prospectors, the dis cOverers and early pioneers of that camp, who have been East, have arrived here on theIr return. During a conversation with one of the number we learned that the new mines are located about six miles from Maginns, in the Judith Basin m the Snowy mountains, between the Yellowstone and Missouri rivers. The first sI4ver ore was struck last May, and now there are 200O inhabitants in that section many of whom are from the Black Hills. The largest town here Is called MaIdenville. It supports about q dozen houses It is the opinion of our informant that the mines on this belt will prove the richest ever discovered in Montana He had a number of assays of ore taken from the leading develop ments in the camp. 4 lead called the Florence produced some ore that as- saved S2O,OO0. The streak that yielded this rock was probably a thin seam. Our informant, however, assures us that there were several mines there that contained quartz which assayed from S6UO to S2OOO to the ton, and that the Collar mlne, at depth of eighty feet was m sOhd vein matter that averaged SJbl per ton The above IS the state- ment = an interested miner, not ours. We simply we 1t for what it is worth No doubt ever,- statement he made was founded on facts; be. like all miners, hs IS evidently given to tVtravagance, and oyer-colored the prospects of the Fort Maginnis silver region. Nss are satis- fed that the precious metal mas been struck m paying quantity in the nayl- camp, but when 1t IS alleged that there are mountains of gRlena there, running from 5000 to S20OOO per ton, we want the privilege of swallowing just SO much of 1t as we can digest and no more However, We believe that the Fort Maglnnis region will enjoy a boom iu the Spring.

 An important discovery was made in the canyon last Sunday, which 1t Is thought may prove to be an old Aztec mne. There IS an opening thirty feet deep, barely large enough to admit an ordinary sized mans body. This widens at the bottom, and there is an incline of fifteen feet leading down from the foot of the shaft. There being so much rub bish at the bottom, 1t IS Impossible now to tell how deep it is It is probably the result of many years accumulation.

The Barring Brothers.


 The Earrings have been among the most famous of English bankers. They are of German stock. There k d kind of ecclesiastical flavor about them. Their English founder was a Bremen pastor, who settled in this country. His grand son married the niece of an English Arch bishop. One of his descendants became Bishop of Durham. The money was originally made in the rich, profitable clothing business in the west of England. AshburtOn gave title in the peerage to the chief of the house of Barring. It has been d rule in the house that when one of them has got title he retires from business.
 Sir Francis Barring, the first great banker, who, dying III lSl0, left fortune of two millions, had three sOns-ThOmas, Alexander and Henry. Thomas succeed ing tO the barOnetcy, gave up the busi- ness. Henry had rather a romantic rep utatiOn as lucky gambler, who was fre- guently able tO break the bank of a gam bling table He was the amazement of beholders when he would sit down at a gaming table at the Palais Royal before such tables were happily abOlished-with piles of gold and notes about him. Tho reputation of successful gambler was hardly suited to the intense respectabil- ity of the firm, and MT. Henry was in duced to retire from business. Alexan- der, often known as Alexander the Great, sustained and extended the fortunes of the house. He went to America,and the richest banker in England married the daughter of the richest citizen in the United States. One of his gigantic trans actions possesses a historical importance. After the conclusion of the great Euro pean war he paid down the sum of el,- 100000, by which France was freed from the occupation Of Russian, Austrian and German armies. There are six great powers in Europe" said the Due de Rich elieu-"England, France, Russia, Austria Prussia and Barring Brothers" In 1885 he was made Lord AshburtOn. Two of his sons held the title. and each success ively retired from the business. The head Of the firm, Thomas Barring, became Chancellor of the Exchequer in Lord MelbOurne's Ministry, and another mem Der Lord Northbrook, has been Gov ern1r of India.
