COATS-OF-ARMS


on Ihftr Letter-Papcr.
New York Cor. Philadelphia Record.
/ WINS never more struck with the longing
of simple republicans for aristocratic belong
ings than the other day in looking over a lot
of letters, answers TO invitations received by
a friend Of mine who had given a large and
fashionable entertainment. Nine out of
every ten Of these letters had n coat-of-arms
embossed on the papsr and envelopes, and
not only a coat -of-arIns but cuats-Df-arms
that are used by persons OF very high no
bility, generally Of royal descent. / suppose
out Of the $50 coats-of-arms, ut least fifty
were coroneted. l cannot imagine anything
more absurd than u republican citizen with a
coronet emblazoned on his letter-paper. But
our republican citizens seem to have no sense
Of the ridiculous in this matter, and IL you
will notice the carriages rolling up
Fifth avenue to tho park YOU
will see these escutcheons, with all their
elaborate quhrterings, and the coronet sur
mounting the shield.
1t il II vol known fact that not half of the
people who use these coats-of-arms have come
by them through inheritance. or course,
there are a great many American citizens
whose families honestly own their c~oats-of-
arms, but there are a great many more who

panios IA name similar to their own. | have
known this to be done in any number Of cases,
and l have also known more simple-minded
persons to select the crest they thought the
prettiest, regardless of the family name that
accompanied it. On one Of these very notes
OF which | speak there was a crest-a cOro-
net-with an arrow through the middle of it
l happen to know the family TO which this
crest rightly belongs, and there was no such
name in it as that which accompanied the
crest
In the times before envelopes were gummed
Indeed, before envelopes were invented at
Rll-sealing wax was used of necessity, and
the seal of the writer was quite as necessary
in pressing IL in place, but nowadays, when
all envelopes arc gummed, sealing wax is Il
superiority. l do not say that it is not
much tho prettier, or that l do not like it
more than the gum, but l do say that gum
and sealing WAX are more than there is any
call for. However, the simple republicans
of whom | have been speaking do not seem
to see that there is anything incongruous in
this, and it is no uncommon thing to see en-
velopes glued md sealed with wax at the
same time.
l saw the other day on some very elegant
paper II remarkably well-made shield, and l
said TO the recipient of the letter: "This is
the clearest cut seal that 1 ever saw; it looks
as though it had been made in the shop.
There is no ragged wax around the edges,

Editor.


Mr.. JOSEPH Cook lectured in Chicago
last Sunday on the subject of Mormon
ism Among other things he said;
"A distant view Of polySamy is different from
n near one. When l first went there three years
ago l went with NV wife. and am glad ! did.
She learned many things from the Mormon wo-
men that q man never could have learned. We
came away with onr blood boiling and it has
been boiling ever since. As you 20 down into
the valley OF Salt Lake there comes into your
car - Mormon bishop, and this man with six
wives expects TO be introduced % -our = =, He
has an cmasculated. thin voice. and thu swollen
eyes ola dcbauchce. That voice Is -Iggcstiye.
l heard that cmasculhted voice wherever / went
in Utah. in the homes and in the streets. Theard
1t In the pulpit Of lha Tabernacle itself, and IL
filled me with loathlng,
zone Of my questions was Are churches and
schools, unless supplemented in their rcforma-
tory work by strong legal measures against
Mormonism, likely TO be rapid enough In Their
operation to secure the reformation OF Utah be
fore she can be expected to be admitted ms a
State? The answer was, cmphatically, no.
Churches and schools Were doing much, but not
enough"
Mr.. Cook says the Gentle people of
Utah are clamoring for n legislative com-
mission to govern the territory, after the
fashion of the District of Columbia He
favors the severost repressiye measures to
wipe out polygamy but suggests no
remedy other than the strong arm of the
law. Apparently were the question left
to him he would train the guns of Fort
Douglns upon Mormondom and rake it
fore and aft with shot and shell. In CON
templating the problem of polygamy
much v]irtuous Indignation is allowable to
a man Of seven religious training like
Joseph Cook, but at the same time it
must not be forgotten that persecution
never made u true convert. That polyga-
my is a foul blotch on American %institu-
tons and the fair civilization of the nine
teenth century no right-minded man will
deny, but that the idea which WHITES it
into life can be blotted out of existence by
bclcling cannons and the sharp ring of
muskctry, the whole history of the world
goes to brand as utterly untrue. The
cannon is no nineteenth century argument,
and ways should be found of turning pco-
pie from their evil courses without resort

A QUEER TRANSACTION.
A White Man Disposes of His Wife to
an Indian.

From the Uinta Chieftiau.
A novel transaction took place in this
vicinity during the past few days, 1t is
of common occurrence for an Indian to
buy a squaw, but for a white man to sell
his wife and children to an Indian is Il
transaction which we never before heard
of. The two principals to the transaction
were Thomas Kirby, of Almy, a pusilau-
imous little cur, and a dusky son of the
forest, who has been lettering hercabout
for several days. 1t appears that Kirby,
by his abuse. had long since driven his
wife from home, who took up her abode
in Evanston together with three children.
The first that was known of the swap was
on Wednesday morning, when the Indian
bolted into the house, every room of which
he proceeded to examine. The lady in
quired as tn his intentions, whereupon he
informed her that Little white man in
Almy sell me white squaw and three pa
poose-two girls one boy for ponies. -
The would-be property Of the Indian was
so infinitely described that what he said
carried conviction in the wifc's mind as to
Kirby intentions. and it was only through
the persuasion of Beckwith Quinn a. Co. S
teamster that the.irate red man did not
carry of his new purchase.

The murder of the two Indians in the
valley, from all we can learn is one OF
the most unprovoked and diabolical
deeds we have had to record for some
time. These unoffending Indians were
on their way home to their agency, and
so far as we know, had not given cause
for offence to any one, and it yet remains
a mystery why they were murdered and
by whom. We hope rigid investigation
will be held and that the perpetrators
may be yet brought to the bar Of justice
From all that can be learned, at least one
of the parties road large-footed horse,
as the tracks were plainly seen by the
side of the pony rode by the Indian first
killed. We say first killed, as the last
one was lying about forty feet from the
other and apparently was attempting to
escape, the marks of his knees are visible
on the ground where he fell. There is
no evidence of a contest, but all goes to
show that they were taken unawares and
crully murdered. 1t is to be feared that
this will not end here, as is usually the
case with Indians, they wreak their
vengence upon any one, and some inno-
cent party may yet suffer for this deed.
Nor will the investigation of the
crime end here. We shall not
be surprised if agent Roman will cause a
thorough investigation into this matter
and we trust, for the good being of So
ciety, that it will be probed to the bot
tom and if, as we suppose it to be, a cruel
murder that the perpetrators will yet sui.
fer for their wrong doing.

With all the wild excitement in BOZe-

With all the wild excitement in Boze-
man over the nomination and election OF
a Mayor, only 276 were polled for the
two candidates. Livingston polled SIS
votes in a little school election-many
more than Helena polled at the same
election. If Bozeman, "the third city in
Montana in wealth and population, !"
polls 276 votes, where does Livingston
rank with 575 votes.-Enterprise. At
our election no one could vote who was
not on the assessors list last year and
was a resident of the ward in which he
voted, at least six months. Under such
a restriction how many votes would
Livingston poll?-not over fifty. But this
comparison reminds us of an old fellow
who was elected a justice of the peace,
the honorable position inflated him with
a good deal of vanity and he strutted
around the house and gave his orders
like lord. His good dame was struck
with the change such an elevation had
made In him and asked him the follow
ing question: "Now that you are elected
a Justice of the peace, what am I?' The
old squire Strengthened himself up and
with supercilious look, answered: "You
are the same id old fool you always
was. So with Livingston, it is the same
nice little place it was, and not destined
to be much bigger.

With the apparent boom setting in for
Blaine as the nominee of the republican
party for President it is well to remem-
Der that the past history of republican
conventions has demonstrated the fact
those, who 60 there with the
nomination apparently in their pockets,
have :never been the successful candi-
dates. The best and most intelligent
men of the party would prefer Senator
Edmunds, of Vermont, but he, like SEN
ator Bayard on the democratic side,
stands but slim show for nomination,
because they are from the wrong State,
and for another reason, that they are not
political wire-pullers. 1t is, however, a
hard matter on which to venture decid-
ed opinion as to who will be the candi-
date. A man may yet be elected who
mas not been talked of, and one who. if
nominated, as in the case of Hayes. will
raise the inquiry throughout the country,
Who is he? 1t will not be long, how
ever, before we will be able to announce
the name of the man who will lead the
republican party to-defeat.

We notice that in the discussion of the
bill requiring the Governors of the Ter
ritories to be residents of the Territories
to which they are appointed at least two
years preceding their appointment that
the term "csrpet Dagger" came in. Mr..
Brown, of Pennsylvania, objected to tee
term carpet Dagger" being applied to
any American citizen. Mr.. Tillman, of
South Carolina, explained what the
southern people meant by the term.
They meant stranger who came among
them to get office, and nothing but office;
who prostituded the office for private
gain and who, when he could no longer
rob and Cypress, then gathered up his
carpet bag and went as he came. Any
body who came in as kith and kin Of the
people, and to take part and parcel with
them was not carpet Dagger" nor can
one be called a carpet Dagger who
came because he was sent as an officer.
