being put on at least Is inches thick.
This is the way they should have been
put on the streets of Milford. The only
way to meet an emergency is to take
the bull by the horns" Let the next
board of commissioners be composed
of the right men; ''men who their du-

PARTIES interested in Fruits, Flow
ers and vegetables should send to A.
NJ. PURDY, of Palmyra, n. Y, for his
40 page catalogue of plants, trees, &c.
The drawings therein of the newer

ries, Blackberries, Russian Mulberry,
&C., &c, are very fine. He also pub

for copy of both and satisfy your

WHEN the academic school was or
ganized last September. Mr.. JAS. Hall
suggested that the school be started
OF a good sound basis, and urged that
a first-class brick or stone building be
erected as an guarantee for its perpetu-
ity; but the time was limited and the
leasing Of 7. J. Davis building became
a necessity. At present the capacity
of the two teachers and two rooms is
fully taxed, as the attendance has run
up to 49 scholars. We suggest that the
trustees have a suitable school build
ing erected on Railroad Ave, adjoin-
ing the new NJ. +. Parsonage. The
location is good. 1t is away from all
noise, on high ground, easy of access
from all parts of the town, and in
fine neiglborhOOd. A neat two-stOry
green stone building, especially adapt
ed to school purposes, would cost $1,000
and would be a far more lasting mon-
to its founders, than the most
costly column that man can erect. If
an energetic move is made, the task
will be accomplished.

DISAPPOINTED AMERICAN
PEOPLE.

Governor Crittenden, OF Missouri,
has been talking to the Associated
Press reporter at Ogden about Utah
affairs. The governor spent a few
hours in this city under the con-
slant guardianship of ais less dis
tinguished brother, Governor Muir
ray, and very naturally looks at
things here through the latter gen
tleman's spectacles. We all know
how defective those glasses are !;
they would dim the vision of the
clearest sight in the world, and
and show objects in entire
~ wrong colors. Their owner
himself has never been able to see
things in the true light through
them. They are such wretchedIy
bad spectacles that they have even
affected his eXceliency's brain, and
long ago destroyed his knowledge of
notwithstanding 5000 to appear
a much larger figure than $4,000, and
in various ways proving their I'M
reliability as we'll as the danger in
their use. AS a consequence, we
ought not to expect that Governor
Crittenden would see correctly. But
what was the Governors dis
covery? Simply this, that the dis
franchiSement of polygamists
by the Edmunds law did not
accomplish what was ex-
pected by the American people. For
goodness sake, will the governor
tell US what the American people
and all they expected ?
Did they expect the disfranchise>
ment of the 1000 or 5000 polygam-
lists would induce the $4,000 monog.
amists to refuse to exercise the
rights Of citizenship? Did they
think the disfra nchisement would
induce a stamp EIDE from Utah, that
5he houses would full down, the |
flop over and stand on !
heir peaks, that white would become |
black and blue turn yellow? What
'ould the American people have
expected from a law that disfran-
hised one class of citizens? That
! would disfranchise another class
r classes? Up to the present time
ne Edmunds law has done all that |
implied within its lines, and the

CONFEDERATE BONDS,

It transpires that there was pur-
Jose in the late call for confederate
bonds. An English syndicate has
been formed to endeavor to obtain
payment of the worthless obliga-
lions, and the plan of operations is
unfolded in our Geographic columns
this morning. There will be waste
Of effort, as there has been of
money in tie matter, for confederate
bonds can never lie valuable except
as curiosities and as evidences of
bhs- gullibility of the original
buyers of the Autographs. The
confederacy collapsed when it hadn't
, dollar in the treasury with which
TO meet its bonded indebtedness,
and since then many of the states of
ths defuLct government have been
under the necessity of repudiating
much of their enormous private
debts. AS there is not likely to be
another cOnfederacy in the south,
and as it is not at all probable that
The individual states are going to
lax themselves to take up any part
Of the old bonds, the outlook for the
300 trusting buyers is not promising
Neither threats nor an appeal for
sympathy will avail. Americans
yare nothing for the former, and can
feel none OF the latter for the hold

10 pay. Those who purchased them
during the days when some might
lave entertained a, hope that they
would be valuable, were rank ene-
mics to the American people and
government; and those who have
purchased since have done so with
their eyes open to the improbabiIity |
y impossibility of ever getting their |
money back. The English sydicate
night as well save its energy and
money, and let up in its effort to

Nor CONTENT witt defeating the pro-
visions OF the Edmunds anti-pol ygamy
law By passive resistance to its workings,
the Mormons have Ventured on the bold
course Of beginning suits against the
Commissioners appointed by The Pres
ident to enforce the lsw.-Burlington
Is.) Gazette.
Well, is there anything criminal
or even wrong in appealing to the
courts for ones rights? If the Com.
missioners have kept within the
bounds of the law, they cannot be
injured by the suits; and if they
have overstepped their authority,
not even any enemy to the Mormons
can object if they are maze to pay
for their extra zeal in enforc' ing a
statute.
