GOINI: roo FAR.

Morn.Onism i'm tab is bad enough,
heaven knows. IL is blot that casts
its reflections upon the morals oil this
nation. But, it is reaching out for in
nOCent victims IN other sections Of the
land, and they seem To be allowed TO
ply their trade of prostitutiOn almost
unmOlested. Last week i'm North Caro-
liua whole Baptist congregation was
broken up, most Of its female members
being converted to the Mormon faith.
Wives deserted their husbands, mothers
deserted their children, under the inilu-
enCe Of the Mormon missionaries who
were at work in that section, to lead a
life of prostitution in Utah. The term
is not strong enough. Prostitution
openly is bad enough, but prostitution
under the veil OF religious belief is
worse still. The former is a single sin,
while the latter combines with il the
losthsOme practice of hypocracy. There
are laws to stop this and they should be
enforced. Less attention To the petty
distribution Of offices under the Euise OF

crime is in order. General Crook and

cOmplish more in q month than the
laws would ever do.

THE BUSINESS OUTLOOK,

The public debt statement showed a
fittle less than five millions rs the debt
reduction for the past month. But
there has been an improvement in COM
merCial directions which is full of en-
cOuragement and hope. The iron
strike is averted and the crop prospect
is good Our exports for the year prom
iSe TO foot up To next the largest year
We have had of late. The aggregate is
estimated at S75O,OO,OOO. This, with
the gain already made in exports, over
imports, looks as if our balance of trade
would be Sljn, 900, 900 in our favor. II
So, it will present handsome and
sound showing. Our railroad system
is gradually reaching n sound basis
and economies are being intro
duced which enable the COmpa-
nie~ to declare dividends while reduc-
ing the cost Transportation. Al this
has in it the best of promise. The rail-
roads have absolutely dominated the
prosperity of large sections Of our coun-
try, but this condition OF things Is pass
ing away. Competing lines are being
established, and rates are cut So that
the law OF competition enters in. The
problem of other years, whether rail-
roads would dominate the country, is
being rapidly solved. The railroads
will fiud all they want to do in
competing with each other, and in sery-
ing the public cheaply aud well. There
is too much capital available now for a
railroad or other corporation to estab-
lish permanent monopoly. Hence.
the railroads are sharply at work cheap
euing expenses in order to successfully
compete with rivals. And we have
reacheda marvellous cheapnesS Of trans
portation. Thus, with growing crops,
cheap transit and manufacturing enter
prise, the outlook is bright.

SILLY STUDENTS.

Among the college ,lUdcuts Of the
land there always have been and always
will he gang of cOusummate asses
who should be at home tied to the par
entail apron string instead Of being al
lowed to roam at large. The latest evil
dcnce Of this i the case of a number Of
students who are studying for the Bap-
list ministry at the Madison University
near Earlville, y. Y, where the hazIUg
ola coupe ogyouths in barbarous man
ner was an outrage. They were put into
barrels that had pointed nails driven
through them, rolled around i hall Tor
couple Of hours, and then thrown
down a flight of stairs. The gang then
proceeded 10 break all the
street lamps, by their hideOus
yells, TWO persons who were
lying sick died through fright. Hazing
may be fun, but this is carrying the fun
too far. These youths are criminally lia-
bic for the death of these two people, and
they should be prosecuted, and tried in
court for their crimes. The fact Of
their being connected with religious
institution should not shield them.from
punishment. A fine crowd this to in
struct people how they gain their sal
walton. From their actions they would
evidently be better fitted to join JESSE
JAMES outlaw gang than to learn to
preach the gospel. At the former they
would be accomplished, while at the
latter they would be miserable failures.
Brutes cannot be transformed into hui
man beings, and We need born gentle
men to eNpOund COPS holy word.
Every one of them should be expelled
with degrees Of blsckgusrdism and
bruteism conferred upon then, and If
the faculty Of this institution fails in this
respect it will he a miserable and con-
temptible blot upon the progress of the
institution and these in charge of it.

GAMBLING IN PETROLEUM.

While the organization Of the
railroads of the United States
into systems, controlled and directed
by less than dozen men naturally
tends to foster the monopolistic spirit, it
is but fair to admit that the process has
not been devoid of advantages. Ii has
not only insured better service as rule,
but il has defined values by baSing
them on earnings and dividends, and
to this fact is largely attributable the
present rarity of anything like a Wiz
lent fiuctuation in railroad stocks.
A few years ago mining securities
