THE MORMON QUESTION.

Religious liberty is the right Of every citi-
zen of the Republic. Congress is forbidden
by the Consultation to mae any law ''re-
spact;ng the establishment of religion, or
prohibiting the free exercise thereof For
q century, under this guarantee, Protestant
and Catholic Jew and Gentle, have wOr-
ship God according to the dictates of con-
science. But religious liberty must not be
perverted TO the justifica ion of offences
against the law. A religious sect, strongly
intrenGhed in one of the territories of the
Union, and spreading rapidly into four ter
rltories, claims the ri2ht to destroy the great
safeguard and imminent of social order, and
to practice as relig gous privilege that which
is crime punished with severe penalty in
every state of the Union. The saeredness
and unity of the family must be preserved
as the foundation of civil government as
the source of orderly administration, as the
snrest guarantee of moral purity.
The claim of the Mormons that they are
Divinely authorized TO practice polygamy
should no more be admitted than the claim
of certain heathen tribes, il they should come
among US, to continue the rite OF human
sacrifice. The law does not interfere with
what man believes; Ii takes cOgliZanOe
only of what he Soes. As citizens, the Nor.
mons are entitled 10 the same civil rights as
others, and to these they must be confiDed.
POlygamy can never receive national sane
ton or liberation by admitting the CONS
munity that upholdS it AS u state IN the
Union. Like Others the. Mormons must
learn that the liberiy OF the Individual
ceases where the rights Of society begin,

THE CHICAGO TIMES.
The Conservator's Bond-An Appeal
Probable.

CHICAGO, Aug. 31.-The Storey matter was
taken up again in the probate court Saturday
afternoon to complete the bonds of Austin
L. Patterson as Conservation At $50 o'clock
Judge knickerbocker took his seat
on the bench and an amended
bond was presented by Mr.. Goudy. In adj
dition to the names of Andrew Mentally,
John R. Walsh, and'John J. McGrath, the
sureties presented Friday, it bore, the sigma
lures of John B. Smith, John B. Lyon,
NJ W. Kerwin, Charles Dennahey, and
F. Medlinger. The bond as amended
is for S3,000,0OO, and it was ap-
proved by the court. After the
business of the bond had been disposed of,
the court, on motion of Messrs Assay, Mrs.
Storey's attorneys, ordered that she have the
custody of Wilbur F. Storey, and that he re-
main.in her custody in Cook county. On mo-
ton of Mr.. Cloudy it was ordered that Mr.
Patterson, the conservator, have access to
Mr.. Storey at all reasonable hours
The court directed also that Mr.. Patterson
pay all the household expenses presented by
Mrs. Storey, and in case he should deem
them unreasonable to report the matter to
the court. Judge Trumbull asked the court
to appoint some person to investigate the
affairs of The Times and the management
thereof up to the present time He
said he deemed it but justice to Mrs.
Storey, and Mr. Patterson also, in view Of
the charges WHICH have been made. Judge
Knickerbocker said he would appoint some
person to make such an investigation, pro-
vided the attorneys could agree upon a suit
able man. Mr. Patterson said the property
of Mr.. Storey was worth about $3.50, 200. 1t
is probable that an appeal will be taken
from the decision of Judge Knickerbocker.

The Evils of Railway Pools.

Leading railway men are beginning
to discuss whether the present system
of pooling earnings is either polite or
profitable. Indications are cropping
out in many quarters that the men who
control the great trunk lines are grow
ing more and more FESTIVE under the
restraints of the system, and to doubt
seriously whether it pays in the long
run to enter into pool arrangements.
The pool is costly method of adjust
ing traffic differences and maintaining
traffic equilibrium, and its burdens
fall more heavily on the great lines
than any good it results in can COM
pensate. It is, moreover, a ve1atious
system, complex in it's details, expen-
sive in execution, and to all but the
weakest of the lines sharing its sup
posed benefits, unsatisfactory in it's re-
suits.
The Pennsylvania Company is be-
ieved to be at the bottom of a reported
scheme to break up the system, so far
as the Eastern lines are concerned.
President Roberts, of that company, is
open in his hostility to the system, and
not averse to any measures that will
wipe it out of existence. He believes
it is expensive, unsatisfactory, and its
| only good is to bolster up weak COM
peting lines at the expense of the older
companies, and also of the public He
sees no reason why the great trunk
lines should devote portion OF their
| receipts to exc out the incomes OF the
weaker ones, or why the public should
be taxed to maintain rates high enough
to accomplish it. To the end that the
main lines may bring rates low enough
within the pool to discourage q further
cut outside of it, once the pool is broken
the Pennsylvania people have, it is be-
lieved, brought about the recent re-
duction in east boand freights. Once
the pool accepts the rate. the next step
may be to withdraw the Pennsylvania
from the pool, and then let the ''surviv
val of the fittest'' doctrine be applied
with all its force. That the leading
companies are tired of the vexatious
system there can be no doubt, and
now that the time has come when SO
many of the weak sisters of the pool
are lettering on the verge of bank
ruptcy, and incapable of maintaining a
war of rates, it is regarded as fitting
season to rid the trunk lines of the pool
abomination. To the public the aboliv
ton of the system would be boon, if
for no other reason than that it would
relieve the newspaper reading public
of it's daily dose of pool squabblings,
rate cuttings, and general railway de-
moralization that now fills the press.
The pool system is not, and never can
be for the benefit of the public, AS
soon as the Western pool was broken,
and single road left free to conduct
it's business in its own way, the west
ern people got fast mail. Under
similar conditions other sections would
get it. Pools result in high rates, in
the giving of unearned money to rival
roads which comes out of the public,
and, viewed from every standpoint, the
system is against public policy, and
detrimental to good. The sooner the
great lines break it up the better
