that it means much more than appears on
the surface. The real question: he thinks,
lies deeper than that whether " Il man of
boundess effrOntery, auduciOus, unscrCpu-
lous,," shall manage to retain his office.
President Seelye regards the contest as
only sign of the times, the feeling which
shows itself in favor Of Butler being in re-
ality, the restless tendency toward social
disorder which is To &c seen in so many di-
rections The people of the State are not
conscious of the changes going on in its
population. One out of every five natives,
male and female. leaves the State to find II
home elsewhere While the native pOpu-
lation is decreasing the foreign-born popu-
lation is rapidly increasing. The Irish-born
exceed all the other foreigners put to-
gcther. In fact there is no State having SO
large a proportion of Irish born population
as Massachusetts. The farms of the State
are passing into the hands of foreigners,
who also form a steadily increasing proper
ton of the day laborers factory operatives,
mechanics and farm servants. These labor
ing classes, President Seelye says, have
never had so many social advantages as
now, and have never been So discontinued
with them. They feel the burden of their
class distinction, and are not only FESTIVE
under it, but are ready to try anything
which gives any promise of relief"
One Of the strongest reasons for feeling
that these fears may have some foundation
is the fact that Buffers strength seems tC
come from his effrontery, his inscription,
audacity and general political immortality
and not in spite of them.

THE MoRMONs.-The efficacy of the Ed
munds bill, passed by Congress to suppress
pOlygamy in Utah, has not been as success
full as desired. The commissioners prSvi-
ded for in the bill in their late report to the
President, say that the law has been of SER
vice in the attempt to root out polygamy
and has furnished information upon which
Congress can base more effective legisla-
ton. Their great difficulty in the way of
roofing out polygamy lies in the fact that
the church is permitted to hold monopoly
of the land. In this way the Church con-
trolls the votes of large proportion of the
mOnOgamists in the Territory That influ-
encei Is the power of the Church to starve
out man who opposes its dictation. The
Church has seized the land available for
cultivation throughout the Territory. and
the mines, and the means of irrigation.
Whatever mans industry or business may
be, says the report, the Church can max
it impossible for him to get living except
IN few localities. 1t plants men where
they really cannot exist without its favor.
and then, when their all had been invested,
1t controls their action and their votes more
completely than if it owned their bodies
Negro slavery was less difficult to uproot
because the negro would run away if he
could. The domination of the unlawful
and reasonable conspiracy called the Nor
mon Church is maintained by its monopoly
Of property rights in the Territory, ant
that monopoly is based upon laws of tn
United States and action taken under thos,
laws. Yet church officials are engaged il
conspiracy to defy and resist the laws o
the United States, and have done so will
success to this day. 1t must be treated a
an outlaw.

A Slippery Young Man.

Gerald M. Howard, Tor a smooth
faced young man sailing under this
Hame), whom we noticed two weeks
ago having opened a photograph estab-
lishment in the Johnson Building,
wound up his business career much
sooner than was profitable for some
parties. Mr.. II. is sprig from Boston,
fascinating youth it would seem, as
he managed to get into the affections
and pocket too of one of our enterpris-
ing young men. He knew nothing
about Smyrna, but under the broad
wings that sheltered him, he soon had
a large and familiar acquaintance.
A suit of rooms rented and fitted up
for him, costly instruments obtained,
some pictures taken ON the instanta-
neous principle, and just as everything
was ready for what appeared q "smash-
ing" business, the young Yankee had
a call to Philadelphia for some special
items of his instruments last Thursday
for which he borrowed the money to
90 on and return on the 3o'clock train,
and that was the last of him. He has
not been seen or heard OF since. He
was particular to slip his clothes from
the hotel, and the nice instruments
that had been bought for him away in
advance. Howard worked his conf
dence game very adroitly.

ATToRNEY-GENERAL GRAY has won
high respect on all sides for the ability and
energy displayed in the prosecution of the
Dover rioters at the late session of the
Court. He said it was no disgrace to Dover
that the deed was perpetrated in its streets
and by its citizens, but it would be last
ing disgrace to the town if its character
was not vindicated by their punishment
Three of its ablest lawyers did their best to
clear them-as paid attorneys-and sue
ceeded with all except two, but it was u
vindication of justice, meager though it
might be, that two were made to suffer the
penalty of their crime upon society. Even
a scape-goat is better than no goat at all,
and it will serve as warning to blood
thirsty youths in the future lest justice is
Meted out with stronger hand Chief
Justice Comeyys and the bench seemed i'm
bued with the enormity of the act and
would have brought more to feel the force
of law if they could
