THE GROWTH OF POLYGAHY

THE GROWTH OF POLYGAAY.
Salt Lake Tribune: Last Thursday a
young girl, with her lover. went to the
endowment house to be married, and
was turned away by Brother Joseph
with the statement that thirty. five mar
rlages were being celebrated that day,
which was the full capacity OF the insti-
tuition. The fact was further ascertained
that there never was time when so
many young girls were going into DO
lygamy as at present. The news which
Cannon brought this time from WASH
lngton, that The Edmunds law amend
ments had been defeated, and that
arrangements were perfected TO make
the law already passed Il dead let
ter, has determined many who before
resisted prostitution TO accept it
as command of God. There is no
possible doubt about this. We are pre-
pared to supply all desired proof OF
what we assert Young men and old
brutes are each taking two and three
young girls through the Endowment
House at time; the missionaries
have been doubled all over the world to
bring in material to keep this thing up.
The girls who will this year enter this
dreadful state will number fully z, 900,
and the rocking OF cradles of illegiu-
mate children year from to-day will
make the whole territory shake. This
result in the main we charge directly to
The Idlotic report made by the commits
sioners on their going to Washington
last fall, and the indifference of the au-
liberties there. We refer to it simply
to warn the people of the United States
that this is their business quite as much
as il is ours.

PILES.

PILES are frequently preceded by q
sense of weight in the back, loins and
lower part of the abdomen, causing the
patient to suppose he has some affection
of the kidneys or neighboring organs.
At times, symptoms of indigestion are
present as fiatuency, uneasiness OF the
stomach, etc. A moisture, like per-
SEPARATION, producing very disagreeable
itching, particularly at night after get
ting warm in bed, is very common at
tendant. Internal, External and Itch
ing Piles yield at once to the applica-
ton of DR.. Bosanko's Pile Remedy,
which acts directly upon the parts af-
fected, absorbing the tumOrs, allaying
the intense itching, and effecting per-
manent cure where all other remedies
have failed. Do not delay until the
drain on the system produces perma-
nent disability, but try 1t and be cured.

TIC Episcopal Fair

The attendance at the Episcopal fair
was much interfered with Friday evening
by the threatening aspect Of the weatE-
er, which initiated greatly aguiast the
success of the entertainment. The prin-
cipal feature OF interest was the voting
on the japanese silk quilt, which be-
came the property of Mrs. J. B. Hal
leck, the final vote standing 425 in favor
of that lady 10 353 for Mrs. H. Mackay.
A handsome toilet set was voted to Miss
Waite, while the easy chair and other
articles are still to be disposed of.
We are gratIied to ltarn that
the net proceeds will be in the
neighboIhood Of $4,000, which
will be used for furnishing the church
with pews.

occasion throughout, and it affords us

it in charge were 50 well repaid for the

The most astonishing claim yet made
in behalf of electricity is that it has
been proven possible 10 convey by 1t vi.
bratIOns of light, so that it is practicable
not only t. speak with distant friend
but to see him. According to the Ots-
gon Times, Dc. Guidrah, of Victoria, has
invented an apparatus, called by him the
electroscope, which acconlplishes this.
The paper in question says that a
public test of this instrument was made
in Melbourne in the presence of some
forty scientific and public men. "Sit-
ting IN dark room, they saw projected
on a large disc of white Furnished metal

myriad hosts of active beings. Each
minute detail stood out with perfect
fidelity to the original, and as they
looked at the wonderful picture through
binocular glasses, it was difficult to i'm

II is said that $4,000 people die an

this disease. In some sections of the
country one death in every three is from

be avoided; our people are too careless
about an ordinary cough or cold, and

should arrest it while il is in the germ.

A LEGITIMATE SEQUENoE.

u
A prominent Cleveland Clergyman
recently took occasion 20 comment
severely upon the course of the daily
press in ferretlnG out and publishing
crimes and disasters OF every deserip-
ton until the news columns are crowd
I'd with record of wretchedness and
guilt Doubtless it Is unfortunate that
so many disgraceful and so-called re-
pulsive deeds are published, bat really
there is nothing strange about 1t. The
trouble. Is that the facts exist, and that
people Insist upon hearing about them.
Without It's news of crimes and suffer
ing, no journal could pretend TO give a
faithful account Of current events.
Nobody dreams OF blaming q
historian for hlling his pages
with one long story of mans wickedness,
folly and misfortune. War Is nothing
but gigantic homicide, and yet the
greater part Of the chronicles of the
world Is devoted 70 the camp and the
battlefield. II is q mistake 20 suppose
that the prominence given to the variety
of news 30 frequently denounced as
newspaper horrors, indicates that man
is wholly given u SHINING and getting
into trouble. On the contrary, the fact
that reporters and correspondents, imi-
taiing neighborhnOd gossip and street
talk, select from the happenings oil the
day ARRAYS, scandals and accidents as
material for publication, shows that
these make up the extraordinary and
unexpected part Of what is going on in
the world. The quiet, peaceful prosper
Gus existence of indiYiduals, families,
mmunities and nations Is the usual
state of tniugs, and Is taken for granted.
Ia fact, neither time nor space would
permit OF an attempt to tell of the every
day life which no one Is ignorant Of or
surprised by. Still, Notwithstanding the
large space devoted 10 unpleasant sens
atIons, It Is very doubtful whether news-
papers pay more attention to them than
Is given IN private conversation, and in
history. The Individual talks of the
petty mIsdeeds of his acquaintance,
which would be uninteresting to the
public. the newspaper tells of the great
crimes which interest u locality, q ma
ton or the world for the time being, and
history narrates the stipend
Gus wlckedness, often commit
ted by q government or race, which is
OF importance for ages. Even the pull.
PIT diIstes upon the evil In mans nature
quite IS much as the press upon it's out
groupings. The difference is that the
PREACHER uses the abstract and the gen.
eral, while the publisher takes the con
crete and particular Instances. II SER
mona said nothing of wrong doing they
would be deemed poor sermons, and so
jCnewspapors did not publish crimes,
they would be voted very unsatisfactory.
The daily press might indeed be much
cleaner. purer, and nobler, but until the
cravings OF the popular appetite are
changed, 1t is not likely to cease intiict-
ing gorid accounts of horrors upon its
ali too willing readers.

Topeka Capital: Itseems that Kan
sas liquor case is to be taken tothe su-
preme court of the United States for
final adjudication. The p.Jint made is,
that our prohibitions law is uneonstitu-
tional in that il violates the right of q
citizen to manufacture liquors. Senator
Vest, who takes the case no. is of the
opinion that as the United States iecog-
nizes the legality of the sale of liquor,
no state has right to prohibit il, the
prohibition being an infringement of a
constitutional right. The Senator is a
great man, but he may learn something
to his advantage in this matter before
he gets 10 the end, and his knowledge
may be of some service to prohibition,
lists in Missouri and elsewhere.

The dynamite fiends are after the

that the dynamite industry Is becoming
entirely too general and popular, and

and their emissaries now may be finally
utilized by persons everywhere who
have private schemes of malice aud
murder IN carry out. It might even
