The Lesser Evil Excuses the Greater.

The Lesser Evil Excuses the ureater'
The debate in the senate between
Senators Hoar of Massachusetts, and
Brown of Georgia, upon the Fdmunds
bill to suppress polygamy in Utah,
cast up some ugly facts against both
New England and Georgia morality,
but the public will have some diff
Guilty in discerning the connection be-
tween divorces in Massachusetts,, mu-
lattoes in Georgia, and polygamy In
Utah. That $1,000 divorces have been
granted in New England within a
brief period of time is indeed start
ling fact, but it does not excuse a sys-
tenn that dominates an entire territory
and controls it in all official depart
ments, which has for It's very corner
stone marriage regulation which our
laws prohibit. Senator Brown leaves
one to infer that the Mormon plurality
OF marriage is not very bad, because
the increase of divorces in New
England is as bad. He might have
condemned both as twin evils, and
used his power to suppress one, at
least, if he could not reach the other.
Ifone evil may flourish because another
is as bad, then third cannot be con
demned because of the existence OF
two others; and the extension Of this
line of argument would make all forms
OF vice unassailable. The Bible, upon
which our moral code is founded, /;

polygamy. The former, though, under

Our Debt to Free Grass.

Aside from the part it has borne in |
the attraction of immigration to Texas
and the settling up of the state, free
grass Is the direct author of Fort
Worth's present prosperity and pros
pective greatness. Had the present
system inaugurated by the land board
of leasing lands in large bodies and
fencing out the smaller stockmen and
farmers been adopted ten years ago,
that part Of the state which is now the
home of thousands of farmers, dotted
by scores of industrious country towns
and traversed by railroads would
to-day be given over to large pastures
with their immense ranches and num-
berless herds, in the neighborhood of
which men without great capital
would not have gone. The small
stockman, or semi.agriculturist, who
Kept the advance post on the FIR Ontier,
fought the Indians, broke the ground
and raised patch of corn while his
bunch of cattle fed and fattenen on
free grass, could never have pene-
trated the barrier created by wire
fences legally inclosing the millions of
acres that our land board Is turning
over to be tied up In leases of six and
ten years. The result of two months
OF that system has been to extinguish
the opportunity OF the small farmer to
take up or enter ,423,7 acres OF the
public domain for years. Rich cat
tie syndicates have leased It, and
barbed wire will thrust out the farmer
and the small cattle raiser. The line
which that barbed wire fence marks is
the ultima thule of civilization and
progress for six or ten years. No
farmer or small cattle raiser with his
little herd will venture into the do
main consecrated to the barbed wire
embargo, albeit the law will sell to
him as an actual settler. The pioneer
farmer must supplement for many
years the product OF the field with the
product of his stock or he will fail, and
there Is no attraction for him In the
neighborhood Of barbed wire.

The workingman's Protection"

Inc lOIlOWlnS ulspbtCH WAS pTiuteu
in THE GAZETTE of the 9th:
sr. LOUIS, May 28.--The Missouri Lead and
oil company's works Of this city have been
purchased by what is known as the White
Lead pool, and Will soon be closed up. This
company manufactured about 1900 tons of
white lead annually, and is discontinuance
will reduce production l6 per cent. The
price paid for the works Is $3.50 900, which is
said to be sl50,t00 more than they are actu-
ally worth, the difference being REGARDED
as a bonus to retire.
White lead is protected by a heavy
tariff that excludes the foreign article.
Our home producers thus have the
market under control, and by combi-
nation can regulate the production in
this country and keep down COMPETE
ton. Manufacturers pool together,
and when production becomes excess
sive and threatens to put down prices,
they buy out sufficient number OF
factories and stop work in them to
reduce production and enable the man.
ufacturers to raise prices. Thepurchase
of the works named in the dispatch
referred to cost the white lead pool
1850, 600, and they propose to discon
tinue work and allow the fac
tory to lie idle and unproduct
i've. The loss to them of $3.50
900 of idle capital can well be borne
for they will more than make tina
amount by the advanced price they arr
now enabled to ask by reason of tn,
reduced production. In this way pro
lection benefits the manufacturer; bu
where does it help the workman ? TIL,
workers in the factory that has beer
closed up are thrown out of employ

IN must be humiliating to Southern

purchasable as drove of swine, and

If Southern Republicans have any
sense of personal honor they must re-

cal depravity. As the Southern dele
gates make up more than one.third of

nomination by standing together, or al

particular candidate.
