TRE MORMoNS.

Speaking of issues the New York Mail snd
Express concludes that ringing issue" is
the Mormon question-and to m axe it ring
the NJ. and Z. wants the Administration at
once to put a stop to Mormon immigration,
and declares that ''the Administration would
strike a famous blow should it effect the ex-
clusion of Mormon immigrants" The propo-
si;ion is that when a ship-load of Mormon
converts arrives at New York or any other
port, the authorities shall st once order them
back to Europe. This high-handed meas
ure is to be taken on the
ground that the immigrants have
come to the United States for the express
purpose of committing the crime OF polyga-
my. The immigrants are to be denied the
privilege of an explanation, of denying the
charge, or of declaring their intentions
They are not to land on our shores The de-
msDd is send them back. and this kind of
treatment is pronounced famous blow"
and the way to start a ringing ISSUE" Out
side of the Mormon communion no one in
America IN anywise apologies for the de-
grading crime OF pOlygamy, but it should be
stated that within that community there are
thousands who Oppose tue practice, and who
hold that polygamy and Norm nism are
not necessarily allied. The legal objection
TO Mormonism relates entirely to polygamy.
Do away with that sbomination and Nor
monism at once becomes legally respectable
and since there are thousands of Mormons
who are not polygamists, the famous blow"
recommended by the Mail aud Express
might be an infamous blow of remarkable
proportions Again. the estimate now is
that the population Of the United States is
100000. In 1880 there were in the country
about 1000 Mormons, polygimists and
anti-polyg imists. There may be l2O 600 of
these religonists Dog in the country. 1t
would seem fair 70 assume that "a SS0, 600
Americans, other thsn Mormons, could CON-
pei 10000 followers OF 10 Smith, or
any other prophet to obey the laws.
Without asking foreign aid or Sinking
such a famous blow rs the Mail and Ex-
press recommends. Mormon immigrants,
when they arrive, might be questioned upon
he subject snd required q give bond that
they would obey the laws Or they might be
required to settle elsewhere than in Utah.
Almost anything would be more famous
1,ow" tbsn ordering them back to Europe.
rhe people OF the United States are sufficient
~ numerous nos 10 be easily demoral'z d
over he Mormon question; sufficiently
powerful to solve The Mormon problem with
cut resortng to means which would make
Tie civilized world blush.

GENERAL DARBIN WARD made a splendid

nomination OF Judge Hoadly. The old war

teaches that when hundreds of millions
gather under our flag from every cline and
nation no repose can be had except under
that dual system of government which gives
indestructible autonomy both to the Union
and the States, and leaves the largest liberty
of Individual action. Break down or enfee-
bic the States, and rule from the Federal
Capitol by satraps or Pro-Consuls from the
Atlantic to the Pacific, and the corruptions
and RIGHTEOUSNESS of Persia or Rome will
extinguish public liberty or drown the strug-

movements OF the people and our civilization

Nh. ARTHUR will suit US very well as the
next candidate of the Republican party for
the Presidency. He is the embodiment of a
good deal OF its humbuggery and is enjoying
the fruits of much of its rascslity. A promi-
nent Republican takes this view of him
Arthur" said he, sis the coming man, ard
Judge Gresham will be the second on the
Republican ticket. That seems to me the
strongest possible combination. Arthur is
growing daily in popularity, and he is work
ing his claim for a second term for all il is
worth. His record thus far has been clean,
conservative and praiseworthy; he has antsg-
onized no particular faction, and he has even
compelled the Democrats to do him honor
especially those who want the Pendleton
civil service law to be given an impartial
trial.

SOME one travelling in Mexico describes the

The Mexicans, especially the less favored
classes" the writer remarks, ARE inveterate
gamblers, who risk nearly every cent they
can get in games OF chance. This falling re-
suits in many of them becoming virtually
seTfs. A man borrows small sum-say s.
or $4-with which to try his luck at the gam
ing table. He lose, and is unable to repay
the money. He is srraigned, the debt is
proved and he is sentenced to work for the
lender till the amount OF his obligation is
paid. BY the time he has liquidated the
original debt he has contracted three or four
others, and ne belongs to his creditor almost
as much as the creditors horse or COW. His
death does not cancel his debt; his wife or
his children must labor till the money is re-
turned. This is said to be the reason why
poems do not run away after contracting

IT is said that Emory Storrs was recently at
Saratoga, surrounded By group of rich men
when he remarked: You fellows think
yourselves highly essential. Have you OBJ
served that there are only two rich men of
antiquity whose names survive? CrWsus,
who served to turn poets figure, and Dives,
who was fortunately associated with a
pauper" Before the languor following this
remark had subsidized Storrs added: "How
many as well known fellows as you were sit
ting in Athens once, observing that that OBJ
scure euss, Phidias, was long time doing
that ornamental work up stairs?' 1t would
be interesting TO know if Vanderbilt made

IT seems that while James Buchanan was

cursion to West Point on the Harriet Lane

Niagara River. He estimates that a motor
could be submerged in the river which would
furnish half million horse power-suflicient

The power would be taken from the shaft of
