Barre.-F. w. Baldwin, who has recently
been visiting his mother in this place, arrived
at his home in dorado, Texas, on the Sth ult.,
and the night after his return his house was
entered by burglars, they effecting an en-
trance by removing a bolt to lattice door.
They went into Mr.. Baldwins sleeping
room and took from his pants a pocket
money, notes and other valuables, and also
took from his room four large bed blankets.
In the morning three men and one woman
were arrested on suspicion, a clue being
given by some check passes found, which
connected them with the robbery.

trust that this musical organization will be
kept up and encouraged to maintain its ex-

the MoRM0Ss IN IDAHO.

The issue Of the election in our neigh
boring Territory of Idaho il mainly on
the Mormon question. OF late years
the power and membership of the Nor
mon Church have been rapidly extended
into the adjoining Territories Of Idaho
and Wyoming. They have become so
n1merons IN some localities a. to be
able to control elections II is alleged.
and probably truthfully, that the nomi-
nation Of John Haley, the Democratic
nominee, WIS procured by Mormon in
trigues, and that he will receive the en-
tire vote of that element. On the other
hand, the Republican candidate, Mr..
Singiser, who has been renominated, il
a pronounced opponent to the Mormon
creed aud practices. The platforms Of
the two Territorial parties resemble. IN
regard 10 this question, those adopted
| By the two great National Conventions.
The Republican platform is bitterly
hostile 10 polyRamy, and demands the
extirpation of that gigantic social can
Ger. The Democratic platform ignores
the subject altogether. Ia Idaho, as in
Utah today, every Mormon is Demo
crat. They recognize in the silencs of
the party upon this grave menace to the
social fabric, a tacit assent TO its cOntin-
nance and inevitable extension. No
/ Democratic orator in Idaho or Wye
ming will venture to attack 1.-THE twin
relic" during the present camp ign. As
was its history in respect to slavery, so
! it will be in regard to polyRsmy. On
the other hand. the Republican party
has always been the Incorporating
opponent Of the monstrous doctrines
preached and propagated by the priests
and missionaries of the Mormon Church.
| IL has endeavored to uproot the evil by
constitutional legislation. and is still
engaged in this laudable endeavor,
though with little apparent success.
Mr. Blaine, in his letter of acceptance,
tool strong ground against this bestlal-
izng system, declaring that Mormon
ism claims the right to destroy the great
safeguard and monument of social or
der, and TO practice as religious privi-
leRe that which is 4 crime punished
with a severe penalty IL every State Of
the Union. Nr. Clev-lsnd, il his letter
OF acceptance, entirely ignored the ex-
isteuoe of the Mormon Church or its pc
culiar aud degrading tenets and Prac-
tices. The probabilities are strongly in
favor of Mr.. Singiser's success in Idaho
at the coming election. His defeat
would, as would the success of Cleye-
land, be the signal for general rejoicings
in every Mormon settlement of Utah,
Idaho and Wyoming.

The value of farming implements in

report, did not exceed SOS in any one
county. Ga the other hand, the value
of guns and pistols in the same coun-

has more square miles than France, and is
about four times as large as Minnesota.
The matter of area is the only point of SUI
periority over France, for its population is
less than one-seventh of the nation against
which the reckless ruler has declared war;
There is a standing army whose dimen-
sions are not given, but i : fair presump-
ton that it is not the G, Of the French
army either in numbers discipline, arma-
ment, or any of the 9TH essential qualities
of first class fighting material. The queen
has no navy, and, SO far as known, her sea-
ports are not protected by Notifications which
will resist the missiles of the ten and twelve
inch guns of the Foudroyant. She is queen,
despotic one, and has probably made up
her estimate of the poor value of other
nations from comparison with the ener-
waited and pacific tribes of her own domnions.
A war will do her good it will teach her that
there are other peoples and other countries,
fully as large, as powerful, and as deter
mined as her own. When a despot holds
sway in little country, and finds himself
possessed of the power of life and death,
with no opposition, but only obsequiousness
and humility from every direction, he is very
apt to mistake his little realm for the uni
verse, and to conduct himself accordingly.
The queen of Madagascar has probably had
some such experience. When the cruel war
is over that she is about to enter on, she
will be poorer but wiser
Madagascar is country which would de-
light the souls of those political economists
who believe that the salvation of nation de-
ponds on the retention of the "baiance of
trade" The island exports stuff to the
amount of 1925, 600 per annum, and imports
about 100000 that is, with Great Britain.
This leaves always a balance of trade in IA
vor Of the island to the amount of $4,000.
This is not very large amount for popu-
lation of several millions, but so far as it
goes it is in the right direction. But this will
not save her majesty when the French guns
are laundering over her ocean bound home.
She is a woman and has much to learn.

The Catholic View OF Indulgence.

To an attentive audience, last night, Monsignor
Capel explained the Specification of an indul-
gence.
Before opening his discourse the Monsigncr
announced that to-day at 1880 high mass he
Will treat of the sacrifice of the Catholic reiig
lon and that in the evening at 1880 o'clock, after
vespers, he would explain the Specification of
''Out of the Church no Salvation.'' Further
more requesting Protestants not to hesitate
coming on acco unit of seats, as the Catholics
would do all in their power to accommodate them
in that line.
The subject of the Monsignor's lecture last
night was '.Indulgencies - The gentleman
stated that there were various kinds of sin, and
That each OF these sins merited certain amount
of temporal punishment according to the
magnitude of the offense committed.
That this temporal punishment was not meant to
be the destruction of man, but to be reminder
OF the wrong and that the of man for his
sin and his works of penance and contritioh
shortened the duration of this suffering. That
the church in this matter acted as our
laws and magistrates do in similar cases,
man imprisoned for five years may by good
conduct and signs of undeniabe sorrow have
the punishment curtailed. So the church estab-'
fishes the rule that by certain prayers and good
work, and being cleansed of sin, the great pun
ishment may be curtailed
The Monsignor made clear that confession and
not indulgences redeemed us from the eternal
punishment due our sins.
He closed by stating that Christ's dying on the
cross did not save us from temporal punishment
as man ever afterwards retained the curse OF the
human race received on account of the sin of
our first parents.

HE CARETH FOR ALL.
BY yIGINIA E. HARRISON.

Far out to sea little bird,
In wild confusion, flew
The red sun set, star after star
Came into view,
And,still the fluttering wings in vain
Essayed to win the nest again.
The distant worlds, through boundless
space,
Unswerving kept their way,
The whiring earth sped on without
Change or delay;
Old spheres burned out new ones, that
night,
Flashed into brilliancy of light.
One eye supreme the rhythmic march
OF planets thus controlled.
One hand there was, whose hollow palm
Could all unfold.
And yet, from where each cry is heard,
That eye beheld the fainting bird;
And, guided by that mighty hand,
Across the pillows dark
1t flew, and sank to rest upon
A passing bark;
Think st thou, o, storm. tossed soul! that
He
Doth not thy weary futtering see?
