tne very worst form of MahoneiSm
for an Individual or family to re-
puulate the preachers dues. The
wrong of such thing is yet more
Apparent when it is remembered that
each one is allowed for himself to
make his own bargain and to say how
much he ought to pay for his minis
ter's services. Neither the clergy
man nor the agents of the cCngrega-
ton can go down among the people
and bargain with them as to each
ones share of the preachers hire. 1t
lsFDad business it may be, of course
good religion; perhaps it is but the
business morality of it is dreadful.
But the collectors tell us there is
another class who do eventually pay,
but by no means promptly, and allow
their bills for the p eachers' salary to
e Tsarinayrears. Thisisa very poor
business system. 1t is in fact and in
practice and in result borrowing the
preachers money for their own uses.
Now preacher is certainly not a
mOney-lender. His salary is pay for
labor, and labor is always held in all
kinds of business to be cash. How
does it look, for farmer, for instance,
10 borrow the money from his preach
er to pay his hands with, and that too
without his consent, when the fact is
presented as it really is? ia and B
each owe the preacher ten dollars at a
certain day, and A pays but b with
holds and uses what is the preachers
for something else, might not B as
well borrow from the preacher what
A paid him, as to borrow what b
should have paid him but did not?
When called on for the amount of
his bill due the preacher by the per-
son having those matters in charge
one said u cannot pay it now, l
haven't the money" "Then borrow
it," said the collector, "you have
good credit, and can easily raise it,"
"BOrr0W it ~ was the astonished re-
ply SO no | can't do that. | can't
go in debt" Is not the business logic
of such proposition stupendous!
Not debt when the clergyman is
the creditor! Not borrow from one
whose business it is to lend money
to pay money borrowed from one
who is separated as widely as pos
Sible from such business All, well,
this is queer world, and some of the
queerest things in it occur in and
about the churches, and out of peo-
pies relation Herewith.
What shocks and h0rrifies, when
heard of as done in the business or
political world don't cause ripple of
astOnishment even when practiced
towards preachers. And it will 90

Fall River News.
Within few weeks yonng man,

to the lady of his choice. He loved
her dearly, and determined to paw
the minister literally for the service
that united two hearts that beat AS
one. Accordingly, when he put on
his wedding clothes. he counted out
one roll of bills for the minister and
ana another to pay the expenses of
the wedding trip. After the cere-
mony he thanked the good clergy
man in most fitting terms and hand
ed him roll of bills, but, alas. the
wrong roll. The minister, on his re-
turn to his home, was surprised at
the munificence of the fee. but, "for-

TIE MnRmcNs DEFIANCE.

The Mormon leaders, having care
fully considered the Law Of Congress
relating to polygamy have concluded
to defy the law and maintain their in
stitution. They claim ~polygamy as
part OF their religion and will have it
as It is, or not have wives at all. This
is a frank and bold challenge. IL is
however, no more than was to bs (
pected. Whatever Mormonism may
have been at the outset, it nov must
live or die with polygamy. Its leaders
understand this. Smith, with bis
claims "a a prophet, and with a new
revelation to offer the c%redulous, sue
c-eded, irrespective of and despite his
polygamous iHeliBations. But when
he was gone this power fell. Brigham
Young retained his ascepdancy by
cunning, and a certain force OF char
acter which his successors do not pos
sess. Mormonism new must stand or
fall on its merits. 1t has large means
which are used in proselytisg abroad,
and in maiatsining the strength Of the
church athome. Its Capitalization Of
power makes this money available to
the leaders and is a great power. In
this view Mormonism is prepared for
o great struggle. 1t is absurd to sup
pose that it will speedily or easily die.
1t will prove to be very tenacious OF
life. But the people had as well uD-
derstsnd Eirst as last the exact eondi-
tons on vhick 1t makes its struggle.
1t proposes to retain and maintain
polygamy. This is the declaration,
and in the nature of things it is to be
accepted as true. So the government
is called on to meet polygamy, defiant,
under the name Of Mormonism.
The method proposed for meet
ing this evil is to govern Utah by COM
m~issioners, under laws enacted by Con-
fress. Just how successful this will
be depends Oh several things. The com
missioners will have much to do in
solving tue problem. If they are men
of genius in government, of large and
intimate acquaintance with the laws
and the history of Mormonism, and
fully comprehend the powers they pos
sess and are men Of nerve, they a do
much. If not, the commissionership
will be a failure.

Invitation.

Strangers are invited to visit
our store, when in Philadel-
phia, to leave packages there,
and to make a convenience
of it generally. 1t is a handy
place, right by the new City
Hall, at the very center of the
city. 1t answers our purpose
to welcome you, and to pro-
vide for such of your wants
as we can.
The store is about twice
as large as it was two or
three years ago; made so by
digging under ground and
building overhead, and by ex-
tension on Chestnut street
Parts of the store are about
as comfortable as any place
can be; and one of the most
comfortable parts is now BY
ing got ready for the rest and
refreshment of strangers
One of the pleasant things
about the store always has
been the fact that you can
walk all over it either alone
or with a guide, without ever
being asked to buy a thing.
We know very we'll that most
of you come to US for a good
share of your supplies; why
should we spoil your visit by
intruding goods upon your
attention, when you como to
see the place.?
But perhaps you are NOT
coming to Philadelphia just
now. Very well; take a cool
er time. It's cool enough in
the store, when you get here.
You can write for any goods
that you may happen to
want; and get them, proba-
bly,, just as well as if you
were on the spot. Any how.
you know, you can return
whatever you get that you
don't like. :
We sell more sorts Of
things than we can put into
an advertisement. So, what
ever you want, suppose You
drop us a line. Wen help
you if we can.

PROTECTION AND FREE TRADE

These old mooted questions seem to
be mixing things up, as much SO in the
economical world as Our neighhors in
the Keystone State are mixing their
political axes. In the irst place be-
fore the South engaged 10 any extent
in manufacturing she was decidedly in
favor of free trade; but, now that SHE
has made a new departure and the
whir of the loom is echoed FROM State
to State, the South is not as rapid as
in 1s40, when she called a duty Of so
per cent.'a black tariff, hence those
who expect to catch the Southern vote
on fee trade basis must so slow or
thep will catch a tartar in lieu thereof.
The same rule will apply to the West
The times and fashions change and in
ethics and politics as well. Let The
modern wiseacre tase the examples OF
the past and use them fer the present
aud future. The tariff and free trade
are not the question of To- day, what
they ware some half century-eyen .
decade ago. We would rot be suIpris-
cd If the great factors in the next cam
raign were Prohibition and Civil Ser
sise Reform.

Tie Terrible PelIagra.

It IS about 150 years since the pellagra made its appearance in Europe, first ln Spain, afterward in France and Italy, and later in Greece and other countries. In Italy the scourage has assumed vast proportions. In the province of Der gamo alone, in the year 1878, at least 2O, GOO persons, it is calculated, were af- fiicted with the terrible epidemic, almost 10 per cent. of the agricultural popula- tion of that province. The effect of the malady is q complete degradation of the physical and intellectual powers. The greater part of the victims either die in the lunatic asylums and hospitals or commit suicide, leaving the seeds of the malady Ga sad heritage) to their children. This is terrible picture, and Signor Alborghetti, a member of the Provincial Commission of Bergamo, from whose report, lately published, I gather the above particulars, advocates the most urgent and stringent measures on the part of the Government to arrest the ravages of the disease. As 1t has been incontestably proved that the pellagra made its appearance and increased with the increased cultivation of maize, that whatever the difference of soil, climate, race, social regulations, manners and customs-those places only are infected where the food of the agricultural popu- lation consists chiefly in maize flour in the shape of polenta or bread, and that even those already affected with the malady are speedily cured if their diet be varied with meat, vegetables, etc., Signor Alborghetti advocates a radical reform in the food of the agricultural laborers. He proposes that economical kitchens, superintended by provincial commissions and regulated according to the size of the parishes and the number of persons afflicted with the disease, should be established, and that medical officers of the parish, at the first sign of the pellagra invading 8 hitherto un- touched district, should have the power to give tickets to the agricultural labor CTS, enabling them to partake of the benefits of such economical kitchens
 This, he says, is the best, most rapid and efficient way to put an end to the epidemic. c.-NapleS Cor. London Daily .NeaOS.
