AJOLLY HANGING

There was a jolly sort ofhsnging down
al Fl Paso, Texas, the other day.
joseph BREWSTER was executed to
make a Texas Holiday, something like
thousand persons being gathered to
witness the mortuary gyrations. JOE
entertained the crowd in a twenty
minutes speech, the glst of which is
denied Us 10y the telegraph. Il Is pre-
sumed that it was moral IN its tone,
though il may have been u Fourth OF
July Grafton LETT over and warmed up
for the occasion. Daring the course of
his Cra,Orical efforts JOSEPH took two
big drinks % whisky. His spiritual adj
VISOR was compelled to take the bottle
of spirits away from him once. Finally
the poor fellow was Launched" or
course the rope had been bunglingly
adjusted and the condemned man"
fell to the ground. He was dragged up
on the scafFOld again, and on the sec
ond attemp, the Sheriff succeeded in
choking JOSEPH to death. \ Texas
legal hanging is a rare picnic, as rule.
The executions conducted by Judge
Lynch are usually very swift and sue
cessful and are generally marked by
good taste and deeOrum.

nOLIDAYs FoR Presidents.

\ Philadelphia newspaper whose
pretensions to independence are big,
and whose views are usually founded
on common sense, made strong at
tack upon President ARTHUR's plan to
visit Yellowstone Park, declaring that
the place for President and his Cabi-
net is at Washington. The narrow
ness and bigUtry of this declaration are
inexplicable, considering what is theiI
source II ought to appear to an intel
lisent journalist that the President, like
other hard workers, is entitled to q va
cation, and it would be unreasonable to
demand that he contiue his recreation
10 the Soldiers Home. The public
business need not suffer through his Oc-
casiOnal absence from the Capital, and
the members of his Cabinet aud the
heads of departments are able to take
whatever action may be necessary until
he returns to the White House.
Ii ought to be considered, too, that
there is much advantage for q Presi-
dent In al occasional visit to distant
part of the country, and the people Of
the remote States feel greater confidence
after President has been among them,
that he will act wisely in matters af-
fecting their welfare. Instead OF adj
vising the Chief Executive to stay at
home, il would be we'll TO recommend
that he make holiday journey every
year of his term, 80 that he may visit
East, West, North and South during
his administration.

Row THE TAXES WEKE REDUCED

When the late Congress removed
the tax on matches, it was assumed
that the whole people would get the
benefit of the removal in cheaper
matches. But they do not. A box OF
matches costs the purchaser the same
price now as before the removal. The
grocers say they cannot afford to sell
any cheaper because they do not buy
any cheaper. There is one combination
IN the country that controls the whole
match business, and 1t refuses to reduce
the price. The revenue which the
match manufacturers paid TO the gov.
ernmeut last year was :, 272, O0O; 30
that the new law actually gives this
>um to the match COmbinatiOn-nOt
one cen: oft TO the people.
1t j. tie same with the tax on patent
medicines, which, last year paid rev.
enue of 81, $3.50 to the government.
The new law releases this sum 70 the
ratent medicine makers, and they put
it in their pockets, for the price Of these
medicines has not been reduced nick
81. The $40, 900, 900 in tobacco taxes re-
leased by the new law is divided be-
tween the manufacturers and dealers;
consumers get no part Of it. for they pay
az much for their supplies OF the weed as
they did before.
The bank taxes,amOunting to s., 253,-
600, were remiIted also, and went not
to the people. but to the banks. There
has been no perceptible lowering of the
rates at which the banks loan money.
II is estimated that the entire reduction
of internal revenue taxes made by the
new law is $40, OOO,O 900, all Of which goes
into the vaults Of the banks and corpOr-
atiOns and the pockets of powerful man.

oUR EsTHETE ABROAD.

one would hardly think that a repu-
tation for being an ass would be sufti-
Gent stock in trade to earn fortune
in the hard struggle Of life, and YET II
we are to trust the accounts which reach
us of the career and success of OSCAR
WILDE since his return home he at
least needs no better outfit.
What was the basis of his success In
this country? We knew nothing Of
him except that at home he had sue
eeeded in winning the blue ribbon as
the champion donkey Of Great Britain.
The asinine possibilities Of English So
ciety are vast-we may say boundless.
But in the annals Of British donkeydom
there was none to compare with Os-
CAR.
There is q deep touch Of human ma
ture in Lord Dundreary's remark about
his brother SAM; Hes an assault
you'll ike him" For this reason We
liked WILDE, and the butt of Punch,
who came to these shores almost an as
sisted emigrant, returned to the more
congenial atmosphere of London with a
comfortable bank account.
Now it appears that while OSCAR
made money in this country on his
English reputation as an ass, the peo-
pie of England, who refused to recOg'
nize the accuracy of the caricatures in
Punch, have learned from American
sources that they really possess the prize
donkey of society, and the audiences he
draws to enjoy his idiocy rival in num-
bers those els Atlantic audiences which
come in crowds to hear him express his
disapproval Of the ocean and his lauda-
ton Of the sunfOwer and the lily.
Its somewhat depressing to hear that
an American diploma Of \. 5. 5. is 50
cordially recognized in England, bu,
there is Ole consolation; there has new
err been more than one OSCAR, and
is no danger that he will find either
successor or an imtatOr.

TIE SPREAD OF THE CHOLERA,

The cholera continues to spread be-
yond the inefficient Gordon ssnitaire es-
tablished in Egypt, and the startling
announcement is made from Washing
ton by DR.. HAMILTON. Supervising
Surgeon. General of Marine Hospitals,
that he has been advised by cable Of six
deaths from the disease in the London
docks district. This news, which has
not been received by the press in the
regular way, Is sent by DIR. HAMILTON
to the health and quarantine officers at
Boston, New York, Philadelphia and
other seaport cities.
From this meagre intelligence one
may reasonably draw the conclusion
that the Asistic scourge, with its old
disregard for quarantine, has leaped all
barriers and commenced its travels in
the north. But that 1t will ever again
obtain in a city like London the
momentum of = pestilence We do not
believe. Slow as the British people are
to move in any matter that does not
obviously affect their immediate COM
mercial interests, they nevertheless
move with eyineible purpose when
they get started, and it is worth while
to point out what at this time is very
general overlooked by the alarmists-
and 1t Is that quarantine regulations
according to the history Of all choleraic
Investigations, never yet succeeded In
preventing the spread Of the disease,
and 1t IS an open question fthey even

eminent commission appointed in
England to inquire into the causes and
means Mountaineering the cholera that
the germs of the disease exist at all
times in certain endemic disorders, and
that the only effectual method of pre-
venting an epidemic is to look to the
sanitary condition of those germs
only await favorable atmospheric in

THE STEADY GROTH OF MORMON.
Ism.

The Mormon plan of recruiting is adj
miTably systematized. Regular agen-
cies are established in Glasgow, Aber-
deem and Edinburgh, in Scotland; In
Manchester, Leeds, Liverpool and Lon
don, in England. There are agencies
in Belfast and Dublin, in Ireland, and
in Germany, the northern and western
parts of France, in Sweden and Nor
way, emissarieS of the Utah elders
catch many a willing proselyte from
the poor agriculture districts. In New
York agencies are openly permitted to
receive these people.
The operations of the Mormon mis-
siOnaries have been for considerable
time past watched by the great mass Of
cur count-ymen with strong feelings
Of disapproval. The Mormon mission
AIRY business should be stopped, but We
have so long permitted the Mormons 10
he law unto themselves in all things,
that it is by no means clear that any
thing can be done to stay the hand Of
President unless, indeed, pas
sive tolerance Of all this nastiness Is to
give way to . sterner policy. Our
Ministers and Consuls in foreign cOun-
tries can, by representations in the
proper quarters, put check upon this
work, and perhaps stop 1t altogether.
1t Is not believed that European States
would permit Mormon agentsto remain
within their boundaries after being
officially informed their true character
end business. The government should
at once take action in this matter.
The proselytizing and crusading spirit
Of Mormonism is attracting the atten-
ton of all thoughtful men. The for
midable political character Of the evil
Is beginning to be correctly appreciated
by the people of the United States. The
conflict between the people and author
ity oitbe United States and Mormon
ism must come. The sooner that con-
fliOt Is precipitated and ended the bet
ter. The Mormon power is growing
rapidly in other Territories as well as
Utah, and national legislation seems to
have no pereeptible effect upon the
yieor of the Mormon Church or the in
dustry and enthusiasm its colonizers
and emissaries.

Is tempted to eXclsim, with the fresh
appearance of every new wrangler on
the question OF what women ought not
TO do. The public is tired Of this eternal
talking about the subject, and on the
woman question would like to be let
alone for awhile. DR.. WILLIAM A.
HAMMOND is the last individual who
has felt called upon to define "womsn's
sphere," which he does in the August
North American. He makes use Of the
same old arguments about brain weights
and measurements, with the same old
sublime inconsistencies of the fact that
men do not yet know enough about the
connection between brain and mind to
draw from them even the most general
inference. Scientists Of the widest at
tainments and highest standing confess
that they know very little about the
brain, and say frankly that until they
know more they are unwilling to base
assertions on such narrow and uncer-
tain knowledge. 1t is another casein
which "fools rush Ia, where angels hsr
to tread" But Of what use is this etern-
al mouthing over and over OF the same
old arguments? Those who feel called
upon to chalk out the limits Of feminine
occupation would better give the public
rest-for which it will be very thank
ful-until there are more scientific de-
velopments and more actual facts and
results from which to argue.
