Poiygamy Societies.
SAAI IzA0E, Utall, 1yor. 1o,--Tho uEgo1lAa-
tion of secret anti-polgamy societies has caus-
ed the Desert News, Mormon Church organ,
to say:
The strength of feeling inspiring those who
have entered upon work Of darkness, is
measurably indicated by the readiness with
which they subscribe funds for the accomplish
ment of their purpose. Ten thousand dollars
is considerable sum with which to begin op-
erations. The important vital character of the
Church of Jesus Christ of the Latter Day
Saints is almost demonstra ted by the wide
spread and comprehensive opposition to IT,.
This is making special and uDjustly discrimin-
ating legislation. Schools, churches and polit-
ical and other organizations are all simin &
their shafts at the Mormons with vindictive
thrust apd deadly purpose. The warfare has
been both open and secret, but it appears that
the stab in the back modus operandi is likely
to be largely. in the prepondersnce, judging
from the initistory underground organization
established at Cleveland.

Uttsrances of she Nihilist Paper.
ST.. PRrERsBURG, Nov. 16.-The Will of the
People, the Nhilist organ, of November 7th,
states that o sentence of death which was
passed by the Nihilist central committee on an
informer was carried out in October. 1t says
their party has lost many valuable members
recently, but that the gaps are being rapidly
filed. More blood will flow, the responsibility
for which will fall not only upon sonseess
government, but upon those who knowing the
pressing needs of the country sit still and do
nothing. The paper contains two letters from
conviets in Siberia, which give horrible details
of savage treatment received by prisoners
there at the hands of Russian officials.

miral Courbet, in command of the French
forces in Tonquin, has advised the French
government to declare war with China, and
that the government has transmitted orders to

quirements of the situation.
A correspondent OF the Exchange Telegraph
Company at Paris declares that sensational
reports of breach Of the friendly relations
between France and China, and of reinforce
ments of the French squadron in Tonquin are
without foundation.
PARIS. Nov.s16.-It is reported on the Bourse
that Admiral Courbet has been defeated in

THE DOMINION.


MONTREAL, Nov 16.-Judge Ramsey has
startled the court OF Queens bench in appeal
and the country generally, by denouncing the
judiciary of the Provinces as so needful of re-
form that he will not sit at an extra term Or
dered by the minister of justice. His language
iptimates to the government and to the bar
that il they have no respect for themselves he
has for himself, and tells both that they can
do as they choose about 1t. He has created a
genuine legal sensation, as for Judge to beard
the government is a new performance.

resolutions demanding the removal of the mon
opoly provision of the Pacific railroad charter;
greater encouragement to settlers by opening
up land reserves, and removal OF duties upon
implements. The feeling of tns farmers is be-
coming intensified ct the oppressive transpor-
tation rates imposed on grain at the favoritsm
believed to be shown to one strong milling
firm. Meetings are being held in southern
Manitoba which will send remonstrance to OF
tawa against their iDjustices. The farmers are

Tea and Coffee at Night.


The use of tea at night is another very
mixed question. If your nerves are fatig.
ued, tea will often make you sleep; but il
you are over-excited, it will keep you restless
and awake. AS a rule, most late workers
are in the habit of slipping tea. Many do
not find that it Injuries their sleep, and ]
suppose that most doctors would agree that,
if this is the case, tea for the student is far
better than alcohol in any shape. These
remarks also apply to coffee. Black cof-
fee in hot countries seems to be the great
panacea for all the woes of life. 1t appar-
emily suits some late students and business
men better than tea in times of pressure,
and it is certainly superior to any form of
alcohol. A head clerk in one of the largest
offices in London told me that during a
fortnight of commercial panic, when all the
employees were kept working overtime, most
of them took to stimulants. My friend
said: 81 foresaw what was coming, and
when the crisis arrived cut off all alcohol
and substituted coffee. At the end of the
fortnight most of my colleagues were knock
ed up, but was fresh as bird.'

According to correspondent of the Bos
ton Advertiser the Vermont experiment OF
comforting the right of suffrage in school af-
fairs on women has not been attended with
success. The number of women voting has
steadily declined since the passage of the
law three years ago; and this in spite of the
fact that meetings have been held, and re-
peated attempts made by Boston women
suffragists to stir the women up in this mat
ter. Thus in Burlington at the first election
after the passage of the law sixteen out of
two hundred voted. At the second election
the number dropped to five, and this year
only eight votes were thrown, though the
number entitled to vote had greatly in
creased. And what is true of Burlington is
true of the rest of the State.

should at once take their seats, or, under

assumption that the seating of the newly
