MORMON WOMEN.

One Of the greatest obstacles to
woman suffrage is the indifference OF
women to the wrongs they are alleged
to suffer because they are deprived OF
1t. and the greatest obstruction to
the punishment and abolition of po-
lygamy is the support which the in
stitution receives from the women
whom it is alleged to degrade. OF
course il is possible that they are a
grade Of women who, SO far from be-
ing degraded by polygamous mar
riage, would be elevated by it, and
that, bad as II is, it is better for them
than 40 marriage at all, or marriage
whose ties, bonds and obligations
they wonld not faithfully recognize
or fulfill However this may be, their
Gentle sisters admit that they are
very unpromising subjects for refor-
nation, and that quite as much as
the male Mormon, they are the life
and support OF the institution. One
Gentle Woman" writes to the Salt
Lake Tribune that she warned a
Norman woman, being the first wife
OF a polygamist, she need not vote;
that her not living with her husband
since he took his other wives made
no difference: nor whether she sane
toned his acts or not. When this
woman was sick she and other Gen
tile women took care OF her, anG
heard her on her sick-bed defend the
divine command which made her q
polygamist; the Saints forsook her.
bat the Gentiles nursed her In
spite OF ali these influences, however,
the woman and her daughter voted
and voted the Mormon ticket. Some
of the Mormon women, from whose
eyes the scales were supposed to have
fallen" refused to abstain from yot-
ing as they might, and voted the Nor.
mon ticket. 1T makes me perfectly
wild" says the Gentle woman, ''to
hear these women, after kindness up
on kindness has been done them, 60
on gibbering about that country be-
longing TO the Saints, given them by
God. and The United States govern

erous aad intelligent woman said
that hereafter she should give what
she could spare TO the Cinnamon and
not waste il on these false and fraud
ulent Mormons. She advises other
women. if they desire to alleviate a
feliow-woman's lot, TO first make sure
whether she Is worthy Of it "wheth-
er she does not go against the coun-

THE MONUMENT MANIA.

THERE is more or less sentimental
nonsense floating about regarding
monuments TO Washington and other
great men, and it has very little sub
stance. Aside from the expression of
reverence or regret chiefly confined
to family cemeteries, the principal
use OF monuments is a memorial use.
Before writing was common or print
ing invented the monument was a
substitute for history. On its sides,
or upon its facades, the exploits of
the king or the warrior were sculp-
tured, either in pictures or written
characters.
These monuments were the arch
ives OF the nation, the record of the
reigns. The monument of the pres
ent day is a rudimentary relic of the
obelisk and the colum, the pyramid
and the bass-relief. But printing has
done away with all that. If there
was a monument to Washington in
every county of the United States, il
would not preserve his memory as
effectually as the printing press has
done. There is scarcely an issue oi
the public press that does not, in
some way, recall his existence, hi;
character or his deeds. Every library
contains several histories of him
school books abound with references
to him. The American citizen is re
minded of him in a score of ways
and not at all by a monument. L
all the monuments of all great mel
that have been erected during the
modern era were blotted out of ex
istence, or had never been built, i
would have had no more influences
upon these great mems fame or NJ

they are held. than destroying all tn,

CHINESE EQUiPHENT.

a CHICAGO man, recently from
China, says: ''China is far better
equipped TO go TO war than Europe
ans or Americans generally think. l
don't know the number OF troops in
the Chinese regular army, but j have
no doubt that at q necessity she
could. on very short notice. raise from
$4,000 10 1,G00.000 well-drilled and
fnely-equipped men. The standing
army OF China is drilled on the
European plan by European instruc-
tors. There are eighteen viceroys in
China, and each viceroy has an
army OF his own, which would be at
the command OF the general govern
ment in case of war. These viceroys'
troops are more than militia they
are regulars. China has for years
been supplying herself with improved
arms. She has purchased, through
German merchants doing business in
her towns, all the needle guns which
Prussia used when she went to war
with Austria in 1856. She has fully
100000 OF them, besides Schneider
rifles and also some Remington rifles.
L have no doubt that China could
easily arm 100000 men with these i'm
proved arms. China has also pur-
chased through European houses, a
number of Krupp and Armstrong
cannon. The Chinese navy is of for
miaable strength. 1t includes about
a dozen men-Of-war of the latest arm
ament and power, a dozen corvettes
and another dozen revenue cruisers.
Each OF the latter carry three heavy
guns. Some OF these vessels were
constructed In England and some in
Germany. All the war vessels have
English engineers. and some of them
are officered by Englishmen. The
Chinese are making modern cannon
themselves now. They have found
cries near Shanghai, where they are
casting steel cannon. They are made
exactly as Europeans make them.
Apparently there are large arsenals in
China, where arms and vast quanti-
ties of ammunition and other mate
rials of war are stored Certain it is
that the bulk of artillery belonging to
the government is in fine condition" /"
