Gathering Them In.

Chattanooga Tenn. February l5.-ThIs
morning a cnr-lund of Mormon emigrantr,
under the care OF Elder Roberts, left for colo
RADIO ~ Il Utah. They began arriving Sestcr
d and continued coming In small parties
up to the time of departure to-day. They are
from North Carolln South Carolina and
Georgia hut among them are many families
from Tennessee
The foregoing is portion of an As
ISOLATED Press Dispatch, which was
published in the GAZETTE n few days
ago. IL Is only one of the mrny evil
dences that, while congress is passing
bill after bill to break the Mormon
power, the MormOns themselves ARE
recruiting their ranks to an extent that
was never surpassed, even in Brig
hams time. Comparatively few con-
vrrts, however, 60 To Utah from the
South or any other section of the Uni
ted States. Seventy-five per cent
come from European countries, and To
gain an adequate idea of the numbers
in which they come, one has to he "a
daily reader of the New York papers,
and note the regular announcements
of the arrivals of ship loads of immi-
grants destined for Utah and converts
to Mormonism. All this work is done
by the Mormon missionaries, who
seem TO be more successful in pro e.
lyting than any of the other religious
denominations, and with methods
more quiet and unpretentious. Wheth-
work quietly, work zealously, as the
customs of the country in which they
are will permit, and the results of their
labors ARE seen in the train or ship
loads of converts. They show the fruit
of their labors TO greater extent
than the missionaries of any
other denomination. They pay theil
own expenses, too, rs n rule, thus Yer
tying the faith they have in their re
liglon. All the time large band o
these missionaries are kept in tn,
/ field and the work of proselytinl
never ceases. II is little wonder, Will
such energy, that they number theil
converts every year by thousands, II
is u popular error, however, to believ,
that all these people go into polygamy
The great majority remain monogam
lists, and herein is the secret of the fac
that with all the Acknowledgement o
Mormons in Utah they can still out
vote the Gentiles. The monogamist,
can be counted on to vote the churcl
ticket AS surely as the polygamist, ant
thus the hierarchy controls the legisla
ture and all Offices that are not ap
pointive. With such state of affair
existing--with system fed with new
blood and fresh, Jealous recruit $, til,
overthrow of the hierarchy and polyg
amy grows more probiematical thar
ever.

Dall., Gives Fort Worth a Boost,

Though our chief and only rival in
North Texas, Dallas interposed no
captious opposition to the holding OF
the Democratic state convention in
Fort Worth. Having lately enjoyed the
honor OF entertaining that convention,
she yields 10 the claims and merits OF
Fort Worth. BY common consent 1t
is understood that North Texas will
get the convention, "a is her due; and
the withdrawal of Dallas from the
field leaves no other contestant to dis
pute the right of Fort Worth. The
Herald of Dallas, In a recent editorial,
gave voice to the feeling of the city III
this Language:
Az usual in such cases, there are several
contestant candidates FOR the honor and priv
llcge 81 entertaining the next Democratic
state convention, TO be held perhaps In July
The asst one was held At Galve-tOn at the
splendid pavilion On the bench, ana since dc
stroyed by fire. The convention of 1850 was
held in Dallas, and that OF 1875 In Austin.
by right OF rotation 1t would sccm fair thnt
this next convention should DO keld in thth
section. A more delightful place lhhn Gar
weston lt.vould be dlncult to md In Texas
at that season of the year, The sea hreezes,
the surf bathing, etc, are all great attractions
and Inducements. But as II seems TO be the
general conviction that North Texas SHALL
next entertain the delegates, we unhrsitat
ingly pronounce in favor OF our neighbor
Fort WOnh. The Fort has never been honor
ed In this matter, and It is meet and pi opei
that her invitation should be recognized by
accrptlnc'. There are all the railway iaclli
ties TO reach that city, there will be ausp ,
hall room TO accommodate the delegates and
guests; and with the new hotel recently pu'
In good condition there. there can be NO com
plaint Us to the h1stelry y, rv.ce. When the
Fort under esanything requiring the eSer
else OF public spirit and harmony OF action
she has always been found and Will be fouuC

The Right 10 Garry Arms.

In the progress OF the case against
Ben Thompson, being tried In the
Austin courts. novel construction of
law was urged by the defendants
counsel, The charge was unlawful
car rying of firearms. The exception
TO the law prohibiting carrying of pis-
tolls, provides that "the preceding arti-
Gle shall not apply to n person who
has reasonable ground for fearing an
unlawful attack upon his person, and
the danger is so Imminent and threat
ening rs not to admit of the arrest Of
the party about to make such attack"
Ii was urg, d that the defendant, hav-
ing large number of desperate enc.
mics, and his life being in constant
danger came within the exception to
the statute.
OF course the presiding justice could
not counteuunce such an iuterpreta-
ton of the statute as that contained in
the suggestion. 70 allow 1T would
have been to invite contempt FOR the
law. Without combining the argu
ment to the ease in point, it is seen
that the exception was not made Ia
cover a case where man, 10y his own
persistent conduct in misdeeds, or a
desperate course of life, eXcites wide
spread aud intense enmity which he
can protect himself against only 10y
carrying an arsenal around
on his person. The desperate
could take advantage of it to plead
further violation of that law, the prior
violation of which furnished the
necessity for the subsequent violation
Having killed IA man, or dozen men,
and incurred the enmity of the friends
of his victims, he could plead the Elk
istence of such eumity as endangering
his life, and therefore claim the il
cense to 60 armed. The law says a
man shall not take advantage of his
own wrong. The jury must have
tax this view Of the case, for they
found the defendant guilty of the
charge of carrying arms illegally.

An Item of the Tariff.

10 say, vaguely and abstractly, that
the tariff cost the mass of the people 30
much, has little force az an argument.
IL Is In the application OF this cost 10
particulars, It's operation in detail, that
must force conviction upon the people
of its outrageousinjustice, and expose
the magnitude and paralyzing effect of
its operation. A few items of expense
that are owing to a protective tariff
will illustrate.

The Year for the Issue.

a recent special from Washington,
giving an account OF the debate In the
house on the proposed Reed bill, Mr.
Randall participating in the discus
sion, says.
Mr.. Randall took advantage OF the oppor.
tnniiy 10 state that he favored the abolition
or all inter taxation, and this IL taken 10
lncan that he viii oppose the Morrison bill
whenever Il comes before the house for con-
slderation. He ANNOUNCED that the eSlraYa.
CANT l. gislation would do away with any
surplus that might eSist, 80 that the tarG
bill, the bin abollshing internal taN.s and
ans bill providing for u distribution OF the
sufi lus would be- useless. The speech was =
vigorous prot 81 against The rule, but /. Wa,
regarded as especially significant. Indicating
Mr. Randall's purpose 10 hight the majority
OF his own aide OF the house on the tarIn
question

We mistake the sentiment OF me
Democratic party II It can DO lea To
Kermit the abolition Of excise duties,
that IL, as long as the necessities oi
government require the raising, an
nually, of large sum Of money--as Is
now the case aud will continue TO lie
for many years to come. The threear-
ticles that constitute the chiefsourcc vi
revenue from excise duties ARE spirits,
beer and tobacco. They are articles OF
luxury, even more so than silks, satins
or diamonds. If taxes are TO he
raised at all, by duties on anything,
these three articles are most worthy of
being taxed. Anyone at all familiar
with revenue statistics is well aware
that the more realized from excise tax
alton bears q very large proportion to
all the sum realized by taxes OF every
kind Tue proportion is altogether
too large to do away with the excise
taxes rs n revenue producing factor
1t may be Eastern Democracy TO ad-
vOcate such measure, but we have Il
different theory in this part of the
country. 1fthe party is ever going TO
decide ON this Issue of revenue and
protection 1t had ms well do so this
year rs any time. Let the lines he
drawn and men will soon find their
proper places, Mr.. Randall Ia an able
aud we believe patriotic man. He
has rendered the Democracy and the
South services that will never be for
gotten, no matter what po-
stion he may take as to
the tariff. But there can be no serti-
ment in dealing with this question of
tariff reform. There can be no strik
ing or Misunderstanding, even to Keep
such men as Mr.. Randall. If the par
ty fails to n AXE clear-cut issue and
u square out-and-out fight this year, 1t
will invite and merit distiust of its
sincerity. 1t will invite defeat-justly
earned, too. Let Mr.. Randall make
his fight, if he wants to, against the
ollli VI SUCH "tHel 'aiih ~
dnctiun measure rs the Democratic
majority in the house may decide to
present and press. If he does lie will
place himself, by his own act, outsi lie
the party lines. Nobody proposes To
read him out; nobody wants such men
to go out. 1t simply rests with him
he will go or stay. In any
event he will he conceded integrity of
purpose. The only question is, shall
he be permitted to lead the party into
courses that will wreck it. Il cannot
retain or hope for public confidence ii
1t fails, now, to live up to It's profess
ions concerning the tariff.

An Awful Warming.


New Ork tribune,
A woman whose husband had re-
fused to buy her a new pair of shoes,
put Paris green in his pie by way of
emphasizing er.displ-asure at his par.
simony. This Is calculated TO be an
awful warning to husbands, though
opinions may differ as to its precise
significance. Some may regard it as II
caution against refusing to buy new
shoes for their wives, while Others
may look upon it rs II suggestion that
all domestic pie should he carefully
examined before eaten. Perhaps it
would be still safer never to eat pie.

THERE is an idea that the revenue

different Heretofore the aa rdlorem
tax was thirty cents on the SltOrone-
fourth OF which went TO the school

making "A total Gd uatorcm tax Of thir-

for the school fund will give that fund
