The Evil OfPOIypamy.

The President in his message shows
considerable feeling with regard to the
continued growth of the evil of pOlygamy
in Utah, and suggests that more vigorous
measures be adopted TO put an end to it.
1t does seem strange that the government
with all its power has never been able to
make any Roadway against pOlygamy +!
The evil is more widespread and far
stronger to-day than it ever was, and the
worst Of it is, it is every day becoming
more difficult to deal with.
The Republicans have failed to deal
with it successfully, and it now remains
to be seen with what success the Demo-
Gratis will meet. 1t may be that the evil
has never been attacked in the right way,
or it may be that the attacks that have
been made have lacked VigOr. 1t is GER
tain that there has been fault somewhere.
The idea shat the advancing tide of
civilization would kill pOlygamy has been
abandoned. The fact is it resists all good
influences. From Utah it is spreading
into Montana, Idaho and Wyoming. In
a little while it will flourish in those
territories as vigorously as it is now
fiOurishing in Utah.
1t is probable that Utah will ask to be
admitted as a State this winter. The re-
quest should not be granted. Utah should
not be admitted as long as pOlYgamy is
countenanced by the Mormon Church.
Once in the Union the government would
be powerless to interfere with 1t.
The evil is a difficult one to deal with,
and it is not easy to see how it is to be
dealt with successfully. There ought
10 be power enough in the government
somewhere, however, TO put an end to 1t,

xx,,,ere 70 Find the Buudozers.

Such journals as the New York Tribune,
the Chicago Tribune, and the Cincinnati
Commercial Gazette are overjoyed when
they get hold of anything which appears
To indicate that the Democrats will not
allow a free expression of thought and
opinion by the Republicans in the South,
and they continually insist that the black
vote is depressed IN the South. They are
very careful. however, not to call atten-
ton TO anything they may see which
shows a spirit of intolerance on the part
OF the Southern negroes. They would not,
for instance. call attention to the follow
ing which appeared in a Blaine organ in
Richmond. Virginia. That organ, in
speaking of the Democratic parade in
honor of the Democratic victory, said:
The Democrats paraded here last Tues
dav night. Clubs from all parts OF the
State participated. Luckily 1t drlZzled
and rained all during the day. Inc
drums gave a sick sound. Thousands OF
people witnessed the professions; among
them were a small number OF cclored
men. These had to be guarded by white
men to such an extent that the outside
protecting line was made up nearly en-
/ tirelv bv white men. At each corner a
! reserve force Of police added double pro-
| lection from any possible attacks from
/ those quarters.
The part taken by those negroes IN that
/ Democratic procession was humlllatlng
/ to themselves in the extreme. The lndlg-
| nation OF the cOlored people was plainly
/ visible, and had they not been so well
/ guarded by their white captors they
/ would have lived hard"
It's pretty certain that if the negroes
in the procession had not been well pro
/ tected. they would have been roughly
handled. In many parts of the South a
negro cannot be a Democrat if. he wants
to. The people of his own color would
treat him as an enemy, and, while some
would shun him as they would a person
infected with a dangerous disease, others
would take occasion to ill-treat him and
use every means in their power to make him
thoroughly miserable. In this city, when
the celebration Of the Democratic victory
took place, 1t was thought advisable not
to have any negroes participate in the
parade, for fear that their presence would
be the occasion of trouble. If the Repub
lican papers want to find intolerance in
the South. let them look tor it among the
negroes. They viii find plenty of il
there. That is not the place, however
where they want to find it.

The Nicaragua Treaty.

The President in his message speaks OF
the treaty which the State Department
has negotiated with the Republic OF Mic
aragua, by which concessions for a canal
and railway across It's territory from the
Atlantic to the Pacific are granted to the
United States, in very enthusiastic terms.
He thinks that the advantages to com
merce which Will eventually flow from
these concessions cannot be Oyeresti-
mated.
1t may be that he is fully justified in
taking a very enthusiastic view of this
treaty. 1t is pretty well established that
n canal across Nicaragua is practicable,
and that it can be built at much less cost
than the canal that is now being COLI
structed at Panama. There is an open
water way throughout the entire route,
except for So miles on the Atlantic side
and l. miles on the Pacific side. Actual
surveys which have been made show that
a canal can be cut throug IN these 81 miles
for a very reasonable sum.
But will the United States ever under
take such work? Ii remains for some
future Congress to answer that question.
The commerce Of the world demands such
a canal. The canal at Panama is pro
crossing very slowly. Very able engi-
neers doubt that it viii prove to be a sue
cess. Admitting that it viii be successful
finally, it viii be 90 years or more before
it viii be completed. When completed it
will be under the control of foreign gov
ernment. This country, that is just now
beginning TO think about controlling the
whole of the commerce OF South America,
can hardly afford to have the only canal
connecting the two great oceans con-
trOlIed by a foreign POWER. All these
considerations may combine to influence
Congress to undertake the work of con-
structing the Nicaragua canal. II work
is begun on that canal and
its success looks promising, interest in
the Panama canal will, to some extent,
die out. 1t will be found more and more
difficult to raise money to continue work
on the Panama canal in that event, and it
may have to be abandoned finally for want
of money to carry it on.
Admiral Ammen, Gen. Grant and 9TH
ers held canal concession from Mica
ragua until few months ago, when it
lapsed. They tried to interest the gov
eminent in their canal scheme and failed.
1t may be that aid was refused because
the treaty that has been negotiated was
then contemplated. When the treaty
comes up for ratification the tone OF the
debate may indicate whether or not it is
probable that the government viii, in the
near future, undertake the construction
OF the canal.
