"Any effort to unite the Southern states

of tho war will summon the Northern
states TO combine in the assertion Of that
nationality which was their inspiration in
the civil struggle. The public
business will be aided by separating the
legislative branch of the government from
all control of appointments, and the ex-
ecutiye department will DO relieved by
subjecting appointments to fixed rules,
aud thus removing them from the caprice

observance of tho law which gives in all

m mormonism ana tho Currency.

The claims OF the Mormons that they
are divinely authorized to practice poiyg-
amy should no moro be admitted than the
claim of certain heather tribes, II they
should come among us, to continue the
rite of human sacrifice. The law does not
interfere with what man believes 1t
takes oognizapce only OF what he does. AS
citizens tho MormOns are entitl led to
tho same civil rights as others,
and to these they must DO CON

national sanction or toloration by admit
ting the community that upholds IL as a
state in the Union. Like others, the Nor.
mons must learn that the liberty of the
individual ceases whore the rights OF
society begin. The one
special requisite for the completion of our
monetary system is tho fixing of the rela'
tive values of silver aud gold. The large

The closing entertainment Of this ante

our citizens were actuated by motives Of
charity, but fell far short of giving them the
crowded house they expected. The Post

H. G. Toler came forward and spoke the

not to play TO the gallery and burlesque

masses, but to struggle by honest endeavors
to win by talent the appreciation of his audi

WRECK ON THE SANTA FEE.

Information has been received that a Sc
rious wreck attended with fatal results oc.
Cured on the Santa Fe at Newton on sun
day. The facts learned by reporter are as
follows: A freight train from the west was
standing on the track al Newton where
there is heavy grade. The freight from
the east came in at pretty high speed and
the engine was cut loose from the train
without stopping and run down to the water
tank; the brakemen were unable TO hold the
train owing TO the grade and it ran into the
other train with great force, causing a bad
sTash and throwing sixteen cars off the
track. The same authority SAYS that two
train men were killed. We cannot vouch
for the truth of the whole statement but
there is no doubt that an accident did occur
with what results we cannot state positively.
The freight train due here at 5 p. M, did
orrive before :.
