The Mormon Church il united. AZ
Rressive and a formidable foe to modern
civilization. 1t has its missionaries in
every civilized country, and 10 making
converts with notable rapidity among
the poorer classes in the Southern
States and in England, Wales. Sweden
and Denmark. Ii is tireless and dog
gedly pertinacious. Its members are
subjects and its priests autocrats. In
England it has already made itself so
felt as to cause alarm. An anti
Mormon movement has been set on foo.
TO offset the obvious effects of the polye-
amistie teachings Of its propagandis,s.
Many meetings have been held, and a
petition very numerously signed has
been presented to the Crown praying
for protection against the evils result
ing from polygamy.

OR CRITIC

In a recent article We took occas on
to say a good word for manned and dis
sbled Union soldiers, and to score those
oowardly ours who are ever ready 70
sheer at pensioner, and mourn the e1-
travagance of the Government IN pro-
vidina for the support OF those VINO
we're crippled, or lost their health IN us
service and defense. The article IN
question WAS not partisan. The words
Democrat and Republican were not
mentioned. On the contrary we saio
"that no right minded man, North OF
Soutb. who ever wore wore uniform
of blue or gray, will stoop to SAY woro
which would make one Of those brave
men feel himself to be burden on the
country"
It il passing strange that when
journal lifts its voice IN favor OF the
pension list, opposition always at once
arises, and ia displayed Ia Democratic
journals of a certain ilk, or, II not
strange, it is at least notable TACT
The language and sentiment OF the ar
tiele struck a responsive chord IN the
hearts of the majority of press and peo-
pls. 1t has, however, acted as an emetlc
on our Democratic contemporary IN
Portland, the Standard, which at once
Jumps to the conclusion that the VEN
omr of our article was directed to the
Democratic press" and taking up the
cudpel for it's supposedly assaulted com
peers, charges upon as with the zeal OF
Don Ouixote. We beg this Democratic
champion to possess it's soul in peace.
We are glad to admit-sornethine
which, by the way, we never have de-
nied-that, in the language OF the
.Standard, Democrats had fair share
of the bleeding and dying IN the late
UNDERSTANDINGS, and are just AZ much
entitled to the gratitude of the Govern
ment az are Republicans" In fact, as
to bleeding and dying while IN the
army
Democrats, on the other side they mo-
nOpolized the whole business. When
the South gets President, and South
ern Democrats dominate both Houses
of Congress-, if a Law be passed pen
sioning veterans Of the late Confederate
army, we are safe in saying that not
Republican will be found in the list.
But this il foreign to the subject. The
nation il not complaining at the size OF
its pension list. 1t is complaining at
the systematic robbery of pensioners by
swindling agents. One word Lore
The knowledge of the writer of the ar
tlcle complained of by the Standard il
not theoretical or gathered from Re
publican party archives" but was gained
by personal experience.

SPEAKER CAkLI1.SE.

The selection OF Mr.. Carlisle of Ken
lucky a. Speaker of tho House Of Rep
resentatives is triumph for that ele-
ment of the Democratic party, evidently
now tho stronger, which is in favor Of a
further reduction OF the tariff. In this
sense it is extremely important, and will
have great effect upon tho prospects Of
that party in respect to the next cleo
tI0ns. Mr.. Carlisle, although recently
denying that he favored abolition Of
customs duties-or, in other words, free
trade-broadly intimated his belief that
large reduction in duties should be
made, so much so as to eliminate the
protective element in the tariff and
utilize II for revenue only. On the other
hand, Mr.. Randall of Pennsylvania, ono
Of his opponents, is strong high tariff
man, stringent proteotionist and rep
resents the vast iron and manufactur-
ing interests of his State and in fact of
the whole country. Mr.. Cox Of New
York, though less pronounced. is of the
same way of thinking.
We are bold to predict that any con-
siderable lowering of the present pro-
tsstive duties will work injury to the
country and result disastrously to that
party which il responsible therefor. The
Republican party is in general, and by
its history committed to protective
policy. II has never been to any great
extent divided on this subject. II has
reduced the tariff on certain articles
from time to time, as improved methods
of manufacture rendered competition
with the cheap labor of Europe possible,
without ruin to our own manufacturing
interests, but no considerable body of
its members are in favor Of unlimited
free trade. On this subject, as appears
by the caucus figures, the Democrats are
somewhat evenly divided. The South
ern States generally, favor free trade,
because in but two or three of them are
there extensive manufactures. The
Northeastern States favor protection
for exactly opposite reasons. The
Western and Pacific States are not
strenuous either way, because agricul-
turs and manufactures are pretty even
ly divided.
The reduction in tariff made by the
Republican party last winter has, in
general. been found beneficial, and there
il at present no apparent need OF fur
: Their pruning. Reduction in revenue
should be made, il at all, by cutting
down internal and license taxes, on
whisksy and tobacco, or as was sug-
gested editorially in these columns
some weeks ago, by turning over to the
several States the revenue derived from
those resources. Ii the Democratic
party will le9islate to this end. it will
deserve well Of the country. and gain
capital for its next campaign. II it
bothers much with the tariff, when
Congress adjeurns next spring the party
will be badly demoralized.

yesterday, and John j. Newman and
George White were adjudged insane,
and committed to the asylum. In the
case of the latter a trial was demanded
and granted. Judge Jacobs appearing
for the accused. la the course of the
evidence it came out that White was
laboring under the delusion that con-
spiracy had been formed against his
life, and he accordingly went armed to
the teeth, and kept a constant lookout
for his supposed enemies. A bowie
knife and revolver were taken from his
person. Judge Hall considered him an
unsafe man to be at large, and gave
Judgment accordingly.

An important Probable Enterprise.
x-Mayor KallOch, of San Francisco,
has been in the city several days on
business connected with the above en-
terprise. Yesterday Il meeting of the

House. There were present Mayor
Kalloch, John p. Brown, Andrew Spauld-
ing, Esqs., of San Froncisco, L. b.
Mumford, Esq, Of this city, Hon. Ca
bin Hale, of Olympia, and John +.
Burns, Esq, of Tacoma.
The meeting was called to order by
Mr.. kalloch, President of the Board,
and Mr.. Mumford was elected Secreta-
nv. Mr.. kallOch submitted report OF
his visit to New York, Oh the conclusion

That we have heard with satisfaction

hopes no has presented of aid and SYM
patty secured in the prosecution of our
enterprise, and that he is authorized to
continue negotiations until success is

to arrange for the commencement of
active work carly in the spring. The
cOrporatOrs arc somewhat rsticent as to

prises they respectively represent.
The meeting adjourned to the call of
the officers.

the George W. Elder. and will return at
an early day To give his attention to his
railroad matters, and also to enter 40

SEVERELY BuRNED.--About O'Clock
yesterday afternoon a woman by the
name of Alice Coburn, who is employed
AZ n domestic at the residence of Sher-

cape from fearful death. The woman
particular duty was the care of tho baby,
and iii warming some tlanneis for the
use Of the infant autocrat, she got them
too near the fire and they were soon in
blaze. From the flannels the flames
were communicated t. the girls dress,
and she was almost instantly wrapped
in flames. Frenzied with fear, she
rushed out into Front street. where sew
eral men came To her rescue. A man by
the name of Thomas Brown, with great
presence of mind, tore off his coat aud
endeavored to smother the flames. He
accomplished nothing. however, except
burning his hands quite severely, and AS
Il last resort seized the girl and rolled
her in the Front street mud. which soon
quenohed the flames. The victim WAS
Immediately carried into the house and
a phi ysician summoned. Her burns were
found to be quite painful, but by no
means fatal. Under the circumstances
she may congratulate herself that the
affair was no worse.
