THE HORIZONS.
A special telegram from Chicago

"A SpeclaI telcSIaAA AAoAH OA0"oo
says:
Bill Nye, the humorist, is in the
city, and speaking soberly of affairs
in Nebraska and Utah, says: 1.-The
Mormon exert q far more potent in
tiuence in the Territory than most
people suppose, and they are
Speeding so rapidly over the North
western Territories. that before
long, that entire section will be
practically under their control:
Mr.. Nye thinks that the Edmunds
law is a total failure, because the
Mormon women, by whom polyg-
amy can be proven, would invaria-
bly, declare upon oath that their
children were illegitima,e before
they would criminate their hus-
bands. They belonged body and
soul to the Mormon Elders, and
we're afraid to disobey the edicts OF
the church. When asked what
would be the rational solution Of
the Mormon problem, he replied :
I" To any one who is familiar with
their customs end resources, all
talk of controlling or governing
them sounds absurd. Why, so we'll
drilled and prepared are they to
resist any interference, that 1t
would be amusement for them to
annihilate the whole Federal army.
There is no use in mincing matters
and the Government can make up
its mind, without delay, that the
Mormons have come to stay. They
have almost boundless wealth,
their numbers are increasing from
immigration by thousands every
year, they are in position to defy
the Government, and no one can
object"
The Mormons knew the weak
points in the Edmunds bill which
was passed with SO much fuss and
feathers about year ago. They
did not even fight it, because it was
as good a thing as they wanted.
Had they desired its defeat they
could have thrown q sack against
it that would have swamped it. In
stead of having some eminent
hurst" frame a bill it would be
much better to let some practical
sensible man like Governor Murray
of Utah do it. We will wager a
good deal that Judge Goodwin OF
the Salt Lake Tribune could frame
o bill that would fill all the re.
quirements.

The Stockton Herald speaking of
the law which excludes men of
opinion from the jury box says
Under this same law the lawyers
can make it impossible to prove
that the sun shines. No officer who
knows from personal observation
that the sun does shine is compe-
tent to sit on jury to determine
from testimony whether it does or
not. Therefore no officer is COM
peteat to summon a jury to deter
mine the same thing. Because
everybody knows that the sun
shines the law is made powerless to
establish the fact.

is intimated that bill will be put
through Congress for their redemp'
ton at par by the Government. 1t
is also suggested that the trade dol
lar can be recoired into two silver
half dollars at a profit. II that is
true, why cannot the Government
accept them for recoining, without
allowing innocent holders, mainly
the laboring classes, to be swindled
out of seventeen cents on each dol
lar? It looks like, really, as II
some other frand were intended, as
a supplement to the Republican
fraud of the original trade dollar.
U. -. Troops Defeated by Cree
Indians.
HELENA, Montana, July G.
News has been received from the
north that the troops under COM
mand of Lieutenant Colonel Ilges,
Of Fort Assiniboine, out on a scout
to drive back the British Crees,
met the enemy this side Of the line
on Tuesday and were defeated by
the Indians, who greatly outnum-
bered the troops. No particulars
of the engagement have been
learned, but the report is that q
courier was sent in all haste to Fort
Assiniboine for reinforcements.
The report of Ilges' repulse IS
doubted here, as he is an officer,
who, with even a small command,
would make determined stand.

The Foundation OF the Bartholdf
New YORK. July 1.-THE Tribune
says: The public has no concep-
ton Of the difficulties which the
unlucky contractor of the excava-
tions of Bedloe's Island for Bar
tholdi's statue is encountering. He
took the contract for twenty cents
a cubic yard, believing that with
the exception of the cistern there
would be nothing to remove save
the sand shown by the shafts sunk
by General Stone. The work is
costing him twenty-five cents. per
cubic yard, and he expects to be
large loser unless General Stone
appeals to the Committee in his
behalf. Meanwhile, General Stone
has his own perplexities. He IS
studying the question of a founda-
ton, and, though he refuses to
make the statement, it is claimed
that in view of the enormous
weight which his foundation will
have to bear, he must either de-
scend to bed of rock with his ex-
cavations or sink piles down to
rock and case them with concrete,
or sink iron cylinders filed inside
with concrite.
New YORK, July 6.-The Times
Washington special says: Cen
eral H. v. Boynton, correspondent
of the Cincinnati Commercial Ga
zette, sent a dispatch to that paper
a few days ago, in which he stated
positively that William A. Cooks
appointment as Government coun-
sci in the Star route cases was both
surprising and disgusting to Presi-
dent Garfield. The statement has
been characterized by Cook as alb
surd. impossible and without truth
full foundation. General Boynton
insists thst the statements made by
him are each and all true, and were
imperfect only in the fact that the
language by no means reflected the
emphatic character of President
Garfeld's conversations on the sub
ject. In conversation to-day he
gives an interesting chapter of his
tory in connection with the contro-
versy between himself and Cook.
and reports the assertion that the
late President was Disguised with
Cooks actions.

rem Mathison Co., Pharmacists, No. 1902 State
street, Marble Block, Chicago, replied:
Yes, sir, with pleasure. My remark was that
we consider Parker's Ginger Tonic, now called
Parkers Tonic, the best article of its kind in the
market. Our sales for the last six months tell the
whole story and settle the question. The Tonic,
like good dinner, carries its own recommended
ton with it. It's bound to sweep the West like a
prairie on fire. In cases of rheumatism, dyspep-
STA and liver and kidney troubles it scores sue
cesses and wins friends every day"
Hiscox & Co. beg to call public attention to the
fact that hereafter Parker's Ginger Tonic will be
advertised and sold simply under the name of
Parkers Tonic. We make this change for the
reason that unprincped dealers are constantly
deceiving their customers by substituting inferior
preparations under the name of ginger; and as
ginger is really an unimportant flavorng ingrc-
dent, we drop the misleading word.

A Cure for Gapes in Chickens.

A writer in the C0untjy Gentleman gives
the following ms reliable remedy for gapes
in chickens:
"Take n ripe timothy head Il gather big
handful after harvest, when they are fully
ripe, and put them away for use the following
summer, but sometimes can select some out
OF the timothy hay that has been dry when
cutD then carefully strip off the fuzz, which
leaves it looking like broom splint, except
that it is rough, BE careful not to break the
point Then take up the chick, pull out its
tongue, and at the root of it you will see the
opening Of the windpipe, hold the tongue
out firmly with the third finger, while you
insert the instrument with the same hand,
holding the head with the left. Put it down
the windpipe straight and carefully until you
touch the bottom; then, as you draw it up,
turn or twist it all the time, and you will
find it filled with small red worms The
chick will soon show signs Of relief A sec
ond application is not often necessary
Sometimes, instead of the worms twisting
around the stick, it simply loo5cns them, and
the chickens Immediately sneezc them out.

When young fowls peep in an unnatural
tone or voice, and stand dropping their wings
it is pretty certain that they are troubled
with worms in the throat, or are afflicted
with lice. The worms may be removed with
a horse hair, having loop at the end, and
running it down the throat, twisting it
around several times and then drawing it out.
For lice grease the fowls under the wings
until the lice disappear.

lie leads us on, he leads us on,
though weary, weak and faint we be;
Through paths we could not go alone,
Nor would we venture could we sec.
The thorns that oft beset the way,
The troubled waters we must cross,
The bitter dregs to drink each day
While on the waves of life we toss.
He leads US on with loving hand,
Though sorrows meet us on the way,
To wake us from our fair dreamland,
Or night would soon obscure the day.
He leads us on through all the years,
He guides us through the tangled maze
Past all our hopes, our doubts and fears
of sorrow and of darkest days.
When all those changing scenes are past,
The one dread hour has surely come,
Take courage, it shall be the last,
He waits to lead US safely home. NJ. c.
