Mormon Women at Work.

| SALT LAKE. Dec l3.-A large force oi
Mormon woman are going from house te
house with subscription paper. 1t CON
| tains the names for amounts from 25 cents
up to $40. The object of the subscription
is to obtain the the necessary means to
thwart the enemies in their efforts to over.

The Dead Congressman Attacked
SALT LAKE, Dec. lS.-The church organ
tonight bitterly attacks the dead congress-
man, Haskell of Kansas. 1t claims his
death was the judgment of God on him, for
opposing this people, and hopes he will
meet forgiveness for his opposition to the

SAN FRANCISCO, Dec. lS.-It was re-
ported to-day among railroad men that the
differences heretofore existing between cas-.
tern lines connecting at Omaha were about
to be combatted by the Chicago, Burlington
and Quincy, irrespective of any agreement
or pool recently formed. 1t is stated IN
this connection that, with view of fortify.
ing themselves on the coast the Chicago,
Burlington and Quincy had purchased the
the South Pacific Coast railroad, and would
assume control on the lst of January.
The rumor appears to be well founded, as
neither President Davis of the latter road
nor 7. D. Mckay of the Chicago, Burling.
ton and Quincy could be induced either to
affirm or deny it. 1t has been previously
announced in the Oregonian that Willard
was at one time negotiating for its purchase,
but for some reason or other the sale fell
through.

DEMOCRATIC CAUCUS.
WASHINGTON, Dec II. Democratic SEN
ators held caucus this afternoon, and
decided to nominate the democratic officers
of the senate nominated at the caucus two
years ago. 1t is understood on democratic
authority that this does not mean a fight
against the republican nominees. The
democrats will content themselves with
simply voting for their own candidates, and
will not resort to any dilatory tactics to
prevent the election of republicans.

ganization of its personnel as seems bes
adapted to accomplish the purpose.

which was to have come off at General

The Peace Centennial.

Eight years ago began the celebration
of the one hundredth anniversary of a
series of noted events in the history of the
American Revolution. At Concord and
Lexington the patriotic fervor of the PEG.
pie was strongly stirred. The representa-
tives of the reunited states assembled at
Boston to commemorate, with music aud
oratory, with military pageant and civic
parade, the signal day of Bunker Hill.
At Philadelphia, amid the bewildering
glories of the centennial exhibition, mill
ions of patriotic pilgrims beheld with
pride how distinguished among the ma.
tions of the earth, in the arts of peace no
less than in the victories of war, the young
republic had become. A line of brilliant
anniversaries followed, from Bennington
and Saratoga, famous for the destruction
of Burgoyne, to Yorktown and the capture
of the terrible CORVALLIS, the event which
closed the active operations of the army
and the celebration of which two years
ago ended the commemoraton of the great
military achievements in the War of In.

Edmunds and the Presidency.

Senator Edmunds has again been re.
ceiving the compliments of the press dur
ing the past week. The Chicago Tribune
has declared for Edmunds and Miller in
l8S4-the latter being the eminent sena.
tor from California. Senator Edmunds
himself has also created something of a
political sensation by his reported declar-
alton, in declining the nomination for the
presidency of the Episcopal convention at
Philadelphia last week, that he was not a
candidate for president for this or any
other place, at this or any other time"
The New York Times says " this is very
important utterance" and hopes "that
Senator Edmunds has been unsupported,
or, at least, that he may reconsider his
determination" The New York Grophic
echoes this hope, eulogizes the Vermont
senator and declares that "Senator Ed,
munds would be by all odds the best man
to lead the republicans, and as a good cit
izen he could not refuse the honor if il
were rendered him." "Who better de
serves" the Graphic asks, "to be Presi
dent than Senator Edmunds 2" Tn,
The Vermont watchman. [volume] (Montpelier, Vt.) 1883-1911, 1883-10-10

Springfield Republican is not cast down
by the distinguished senator's emphatic
declaration. "That is nothing" says the
Republican, he always talks 30, and with
out doubt talks as he feels. He is desti-
tute of presidential ambition, and if it is
necessary that a man should lie awake
nights worrying, scheming and laying
wires to get the nomination, Mr.. Edmuuds
will never be the candidate. But If he is
nominated, we believe he will never re-
fuse to run. He looms" The New York
Sun, the democratic luminary that "shines
for all" also joins in the hopeful refrain.
The SUMS remarks, however, arouse the
suspicion that its hope is inspired by
some sinister motive. The fact that Mr.
Edmunds was prominently identified
with the electoral fraud of 1851" that
abe was member of the infamous elec-
toral tribunal" that che was one of the
eight to seven" who circumvented demo-
cratic fraud, are the Suns reasons for de-
string Mr.. Edmunds' nomination. In this
view of the matter, it says, ait would be
good thing for the country, if one Of
those eight men could now be put up as
the republican candidate for president so
that the people might pass upon him."
We, too, hope that the SUMS and its re-
publican and independent contemporaries
will all be made happy by the selection of
Mr.. Edmunds as the republican standard
bearer in 1884, and especially, if the an.
cient fraud whose agents traversed the
continent from Gramercy Park to Oregon
and to the gulf, seeking to buy an electo-
raj vote, comes into court for vindica-
tion." In quiet aud natural way public
sentiment, in diverse quarters, seems to
be developing in favor of the one man in
all this country who is pre.eminently
fitted for the Office by his talents, his ex-
perience and the quality of his ambition.

THE annual meeting of the Vermont
State Teachers Association has been
called at Montpelier to continue in session
from Wednesday evening October All,
to Saturday noon, the 9th. The pro.
gramme has been published in The
WATcHMAN and doubtless has been lib.
orally distributed throughout the state.
1t is in the power of this association to
give healthy tone and direction to pub
lie sentiment on the subject of education.
To do this the young, wide-awake and
progressive element among teachers, school
officials and the public at large must come
to the front. The old can give good
counsel, but there is hard work to be done
and for this the young and courageous
are needed. While all the state without
regard to sections should be interested in
the meeting of state teachers associa-
ton and be we'll represented, this particu-
lar locality, Washington county and cen.
trail Vermont, the heart of the state, must
take the matter directly to heart. The
coming meeting should eclipse that of
last December by as much as the latter
surpassed in interest, attendance and
good results its immediate predecessors.

The political situation in this state is

THE political situation in this state is
subject of some anxiety at Springfield,
Mass. However wide of the mark may
be some of the Republicans speculations,
it is no doubt true that there has been
some pipe.laying done by political mana
gers. 1t is not quite certain that the
political waters can be trained into these
conduits to irrigate the fields of individ
ual ambitions. Whatever "the machine {"
with which Vermont is credited may pro-
pose, it is for the people to dispose of the
Offices within their gift to the ablest and
best who can be persuaded to take them.
For the men for the high offices especially,
which are to be filled next year, should
the people keep their choice untrammeled.
When the time for decision comes they
will wish TO choose independently, in the
light of full information. That time is
a goodly distance ahead.

" HARMONY In New York,

sition they seem 10 feel to reach out for
each others throats. 1t describes the
present relations of Tammany and the
county democracy to each other as an
EARNED neutrality" 1t seems to feel an
apprehension that "the democratic state
ticket will be cut all to pieces to save the
factional city and county tickets" that
the democrats will be more intent on cut.
ting each others Threats than on fighting
an enemy in whom some of them in the
city sometimes find a convenient ally"
1t thinks the county democracy are "tak-
ing altogether too top-lofty view of their
position" that they would rather beat
Tammany Hall than beat the republicans"
that "they want blood and they themselves
have rather too much bad blood already"
1t asks Tammany and Irving Halls not
to fly off at tangent, and not to insist on
too much" 1t says signs are not want.
ing that Tammany may protect local in
terests at the expense of the party in the
state and the Nation" 1t hopes the
braves will not agree with one of their
chiefs in the opinion that if their enemies
edo not clutch at the first olive branch,
the only alternative must be war to the
knife" "War to the knife with the
republicans is what the great democratic
luminary wants, "not limited partner
ship with them" 1t concludes "Beat
the republicans out of their boots this
year and next year. If you are bent upon
fighting among yourselves, wait till 1885,
and then slash away to your hearts con-
tent. You can't hurt anybody but your.
selves then. Now you might succeed in
running the prospects of your party, and
in delaying by blind folly and want of
patriotism its return to power and the re.
turn of the country to honest government.
1t will be valuable advertisement of the
patriotism and public spirit of our city
democrats, if they fall out again over a
handful of patronage" Patriotism
and "honest government seem somewhat
homogeneous terms to use in connection
with party to whom such advice is nee.
essary as that administered by the vir.
tuous democratic organ to party factions
quarreling "over handful of patronage"
Meantime, the republicans seem to be
ranging themselves shoulder to shoulder
for the campaign. They are cheerful and
hopeful. The independents, as shown by
the utterances of their high priest, George
William Curtis, are placated by the pres.
ent attitude of the party and the present
organic alton of its machinery. So, as the
Sun seems to fear, the Republicans may
squeeze in, or come so near to doing it as
to leave their opponents in asorry plight

THE wooden-nutmeg state" seems
given up to sensations. The Jennie era
mer and the Rose Amber murders are
samples of what ." the land of steady hab-
its" has been doing in the department of
mysterious and horrifying crimes. A
New Haven clergyman created fresh
sensation and scandalized all ideas of pro.
priety and decency by preaching, in the
regular course of his Sunday ministra-
tions, a sermon in which he charged the
lover of Rose with numbering her, argued
the case from the pulpit and convicted the
alleged murderer. Hebron, Conn.,, fur.
Aishes sensation of another character
and of an exceedingly wicked character.
The Congregationalist church in that rus
tic community had in its flock, it appears,
one J. B. Fillmore, whom the pastor, in
the presence of the guilty man himself,
denounced from the pulpit in a recent ser
mon, as breaker of the seventh COM
mandment and polygamist. Mr.. Fill
more, according to the reports of the case,
has been the possessor of four wives, from
three of whom he has been divorced.
All of them are now living, and two of
these divorced women attend the church
of which their ex-liege lord was member
and in which he was Jealous worker,
"taking more prominent part than the
worthy deacons." The pastor, the Rev. G.
b. Cutler, thinks, with DR.. Bacon and
many others, that divorce should be
granted for but one or two causes. The
good mans feelings were wrought up to
the highest pitch by the glazing conduct
of his parishioner, and, having the cour.
age of his convictions, he denounced him

the discourse the name of the guilty man

less conduct has made him many friends,
and also caused him many enemies. The
marriage tie seems to have been lightly re-
garded in Hebron, and divorced parties
are said to be numerous there. The pas
tor has been sued by his enraged parish
Toner for SANDER and defamation of char.
acter from the pulpit, laying his damages
at $4,000. Pastors and laity, without
distinction of faith, should unite to see
the courageous preacher safely through
his troubles, and then turn their united
attention and efforts to correcting the
defect in the laws of the state which ap
pear to render it possible for man like
this Fillmore to trample under foot the
law and commandments of heaven.
