Nothing has been q more conspicnon.
failure for years past than the
manner in which the Mormon question
has been treated by our Government.
10 great extent the Government Ia
10 be excused for its leniency in this
respect, as 1T has always been slow to
act in cases which involved sec,arian-
ism or interiered with the professed
freedom OF conscience, and even if sucb
professions were not honest, the Gov.
eminent chose liberal course and pre-
1erfed to err, if it did err, on the side
OF leniency. 1t must be remembered, too.
that polygamy rs practiced by the Nor
mons under the cloak of reli gion is COM
paratively new thing in this country.
and the Government had no idea that
IL had secured such strong foothold
until 1t made an attempt to break up
the evil Of polygamy by legislation.
= We believe in the largest kind of
equal rights, and exact and strict ms
tice for all men, but that we are fully
convinced that justice as applied to
polygamous practices should net mean
sentimental compassion and federation
for evil doors. Nothing is more trans.
parent than that the laws relating to
poiygamy are inetfective-in fact. a
dead letter against barbarous system,
Expressing the people of an entire terri.
tory.
Mormon despotism under the cloak
OF religion inculcates treason, rebellion.
murder, blood atonement, polygamy
and incest. 1t is no credit to our gov
eminent that these crimes have been
permitted to flourish in Utah under the
sanction of the Mormon church. II il

these people are sincere in their belief
in their monstr0us doctrines.

which nothing short Of . heroic
remedy can reach. Congress- has en-
tire mower to deal with this evil, and
make all needful laws for the govern
ment of the Mormons.
1t can even legislate Utah, or any
Territory if need be, out OF territorial
existence, thus destroying territorial
government, and we are of the opinion
that this IL what should be done with
Utah. The axe should be laid to the
root of the entire evil, and thus totally
abolish even the pretext of law which
thew use as q cloak for their licentioui

The difference bet Ween q tariff Tor ,
revenue exclusively and a tariff for the
cake of protection is very marked and
eaaily to be understood. As the case
now stands the Democrats are commit
tad to \ tariff for revenue exclusively,
and the Republicans TO tariff for the
aake of projection. Under the Demo
cratic idea only sufficient impost duties
are to be collected to pay the expense
incurred in carrying on the govern
ment. This involves sliding scale
adjusted to meet whatever expenses
the government may be under, and may
come years amount to double what 1t Is
other years.
AS river and harbor improvements
are not q necessary part of the expenses
Of the government, no revenue need Dc
raised to meet those expenses and con-
sequently all such improvements would
cease.
Az the Democrats seem to have
natural antipathy to creating q navy
that would b. q credit to the country,
under q tariff for revenue only there
could be no navy unless the Government
went into the money market as Dor
rover.
In fact the expenses of the govern
ment might possibly be reduced to suci
low figures az to enforce absolute fre'
trade. This is the prime reason VIII,
the Democrats want tariff for revenue
exclusively.
By this system rigidly enforced. i'm
ported goods manufactured BY the pau
DER labor of Europe could be admit
ted almost free of duty. This woul'
be a death blow to the manufacturin
interests of this country. Manufactul
ers would be compelled to compete wit
foreign manufactures, and to do thi
there would be no other alternative LEI
than to reduce the wages Of employees
to a level with the wages paid to TO
eipp laborers. This is what tart
for revenue exclusively would do. III
Republic an idea of tariff for the SAL
of protection cannot fail to protect Il
laborer. because 1t enforces the payne
of certain imposts on imported goo
which, if not paid. excludes them fro
the market and gives the preference

RCOs HAYS COUNTY, TEXAS THURSDAY, JANUARY II, 1884

Then on Saturday night the Ter
Buildings on 4th street took fire and
threatened TO spread@no one could
tell where-and here again the last
powers OF endurance were taxed tc
stop the conaagration and hundreds
Of citizens gave willing help against
the common danger. One hundred
men were employed by the mayor to
aid the authorities in this trying
emergency. kilograms we're sent to
Chicago and Cincinnati asking for
engines, hose and help, but they
seemed to have been in the same ter
rible situation, and could give no as
sistance. But the crowning misfor-
tune Of all was the destruction of the
Convent at Bellville, Illinois, near st.
Louis, on Saturday night At this
writing twenty six young lady pupils
are known to have perished in the
burning structure besides four Sis
ters. The Misses Scalin, two lovely
sisters from st. Louis, also Miss Man.
ming, Miss Mantell and others Of this
city are among the lost, and the grief
at such a calamity has cast a gloom
upon St. Louis.
y It is hard TO find words 10 charac
terize the :, criminal stupidity with
which the pretended fire department
of Bellville managed or rather mis-
managed the fire. They seemed to
have merely looked on with d dazed
imbecility at the heartrending efforts
of the poor girls and absolutely did
nothing to save them. They are still
digging for the bodies and the death
roll is swelling every hour.
Thepreparations here for the annu-
al charity ball are going on actively
and the ball will doubtless be an inn
mense affair in money results. The
police report over six thousand fami-
lies destitute in the city, and the 30
cieties are busy in the work Of relief.
The Court Of Appeals has affixed
ed the death sentence in the case OF
Kate Douglass convicted Of murder,
and her prospects for the new year
look decidedly gloomy. Emmett Jones
will be hanged in the Jail yard on the
18th inst, unless the Governor inter-
feres. CARL SMYTHE.

and indications are that the tariff will
stir up a lively Legislative whirlwind
But at present the two great com
mittees of the House, those of the
outgo and the income, as Mr.. Cox
wittily describes them, entertain diff
ferent views upon tariff legislation.
Mr.. Morrison, chairman of the latter,
wants long session and tariff legis-
lation, while Mr.. Randall wishes to
hurry up the outgo in the shape of
the appropriation bills, have a short
session, and adjourn without tariff
Legislation. The air is unusually
fruitful of rumors Of what is to be
done.
There certainly general growing
impression in Congress that some
thing must be done for our Navy and
coast defense. When one seriously
considers it, our negligence in the
matter of providing suitable defenses
for our great cities is little less than
criminal, and Congressman are be
