JAMES II. MILLS. PUBLISHER r
GOVERNOR Crosby, in his report to tn
Secretary Of Interior, makes some excellen
suggestions as TO Montana Indians and In
dian reservations.
THE reported annihilation of the army o
Hicks Pasha near Khartoum appears to bsv,
been the nearest rival in history to the Gus
ter massacre. From the latter no man es
capped TO tell the tale, but In the Egyptian
battle some did escape TO Khartoum, and i
Is probable others saved their lives by en-
bracing Mahommedism, aud joining tn,
army of the False Prophet.
THE Portland Neics states that the North
ern Pacific Railroad has revolutionizcd no
only trade In Oregon, but Is changing th,
relations of agriculture. The importation
over the new line of provisions and seed
has caused the market prices to drop abou
copper cent, and similar drop Is expec tet
when other articles begin TO be carried owe
the road. In view of these facts the Ne,c.
recommends the farmers of Oregon TO max,
some change In their modes.
THE purpose of Germany TO ALLEVIATE Spair
from France Is very clearly indicated In EN-
peror Williams adroit dispatch TO Alfonzo
The Spanish journals are very cordial to thu
Crown Prince, but deprecate any entanglinl
alliances with Germany. II Is evidently
however, the paN sose Of Germany TO estab
lish q sentiment IN Spain favorable TO that
country as against France, and IL is not un.
likely l. will be successful In breaking up
friendly relations between France and Spain.
JUST THINK Of the Carlisle floral offering,
with ga little nude George Washington u
whisking around, slashing down cherry trees.
George wasn't that kind Of boy. He had
oil the clothes he wanted, and his morality
Is generally admitted. Kentucky has In
voked severe rebuke from Virginia. 1t
will be gratifying indeed If some literary
tourist does not seize on this incident TO
write book, asserting that the Revolution.
ary armies were led by naked white saw
age, who was Afterwards promoted to the
chief magistracy Of the nation, and that the
fact has lately been reluctantly admitted by
the Speaker Of the lower House of the Ameri-
can Parliament.
= ENGLAND Is In dilemma about Egyptian
matters. The slaughter of the Egyptian
troops by the army Of the False Prophet de-
mands redress, while his advance threatens
! the suez Canal. But while English troops
cannot stand campaign In the Soudan,
England cannot trust Turkey TO send troops
to suppress the revolt, as she proposed, and
asa result El Mahdi is having things his own
way, and Is liable to capture Khartoum and
advance northward. If FL Mahdl shall be
accepted by the Mahommedans as the PROM
ised prophet, there will be war of religion
developed that will demand all the energies
Of England to hold Its possessions In Egypt.
THE most radical suggestion In the Pres
'idenps message Is concerning Utah. 1t is
right. Polygamy is crime. Il has become
defiant one. The Edmunds law failed 10
reach IL. II does not appear any law can
efectually. reach It 80 long as the Territorial
government exists there and remains In the
hands OF polygamous Mormons. There IL
no efiectual way TO get II out of their hands
while II exists. At least all measures have
failed. Every Intellectual attempt TO sup
press II strengthens polygamous Mormonlsm.
The United States government cannot per-
NIT that infamy 10 continue. We have been
slow TO accede TO the proposition OF discs
taolishment Of the Territory, but there ap-
pears no other course left, and II the knife
must be applied, cut the moral cancer out
clean. Either stop polygamy or let IL alone.
To longer tamper with IL and try mild meas.
ures Is futile. IL Is not religion; IL Is not
even the religion Of Mormonism. The Lat
ter Day Saints shut their bibles when they
accept the doctrine. We hope the Forty
eighth Congress will come squarely TO the
front and grapple polygamy by the throat.
Previous Congresses have merely pinched
Its tail.
THERE are no old men In Journalism, GER
tainly as far s New York Is concerned.
MIR. Dana Ia the senior, and he Is somewhere
between 90 and 65 years only. What be.

he reached great age, Greeley went of In his
prime, Raymond did not touch 30. With
the exception OF two old gentlemen on the
Heraid-the veteran sporting editor, Joe
Elliott, aud one Of the other writer's. Mr..
Hosmer-I know no person connected with
any OF the dailies, certainly none In any con-
spicuous position, who has lived 80 years. A
large majority Of the chief workers In Jour
nalism range between 30 and Is years of aee.
