DEFIANT MORMONS.
A Salt Lake Paper on the Presidents Mes
sage-An Appeal to the Democrats.

SALT LAKE, Dec. 5-The News, the Nor
mon organ, in leader, says: THE Presi-
dents message will be hailed by hireling
clergy with pleasure and receive a certain
amount of popular support. 1t is not shown
in what way the destruction OF our local gov
eminent would affect the question
OF polygamy. The plural mar
riages of Mormons, which are not
recognized by Territorial laws, could
not be dissolved by the commissions, edict,
armies, or other earthly power. They are
ecclesiastical, perpetual, eternal. Until the
Mormons become recreant to their faith with
high heaven, these unions will be recognized
by the Almighty Being who established
them for the benefit OF His peoples fullness
and His glory. The Presidents remarks
on Utah and polygamy do not add force to
his message nor credit to his statesmanshp
They are a son to bigots and breath to the
flame of popular passion, 1t is doubtful
what will be the practical bearing on Con-
gress, but they will certainly create no com
motion among the God-fearing people of
Utah"

severa! years at the Michigan Agricultural
College. The method of management has
been to have a small patch of artichokes
convenient to the swine pens, upon which
the breeding sows were turned early in the
spring and allowed to harvest the roots for
themselves. The crop is thus grown with
very little labor, since it requires no harvest
ing, the roots remaining in the ground all
winter, and it furnishes succulent food for
the sows when it Is most needed and most
difficult to obtain from other sources. Pro-
fessor Johnson, farm superintendent, is so
well pleased with the results of this manage
ment that he is enlarging the artichoke

Fevers Prevalent at vale college.

New HAVEN, Conn, Dec. 5,-The preva-
lence of typhoid and malarial fevers among
the students of Yale College is puzzling the
faculty. The professors aver sewerage and
drainage are perfect, and cannot account for
the unusual illness this term. Reports of
deaths, however are exaggerated. But two
students have died of typhoid fever. One
contracted the disease abroad during vaca-
ton. There are a number of students more
or less i'll of malarial fever, but there is no
great alarm. 1t is thought when the cold
weather sets in the health of the college will
be as good as that OF any other institution of
a thousand inmates.

BIRMINGHAM, Dec. 5.-Lord Lorne deliv-

by saying that the Canadian people are

long ago have discarded their allegiance, of
which they are proud. With the Dominion
