REFUSED.

The refusal Of the Porte to accede to
the proposals OF England for the occupa-
ton OF the Soudan by Turkey, causes
general surprise, especially when the oc-
cupation of the Soudan by England has
been a source OF much annoyance to the
Porte; and had Turkey been nation to
compel respect to her rights, must have
led to serious complications. Perhaps Tur-
key thinks that as England went TO the
Soudan without asking her consent, she
can retire as she sees fit, and that she
must retire, and that soon. If this is the
case, it will leave Turkey to do az she
chooses in the Soudan, for time at least,
and she will not be hampered by any
treaty stipulations in regard to the slave
trade and such like practices. There
seems to he a cordial and tacit under
standing between France and the
Porte in regard to the matter, and
it is doubtless OH account of this that
the present Indifference OF the Porte in
regard to occupying the Soudan is owing.
1t is possible that France wishes TO
placate Turkey for the Tunis affair and at
the same time cripple Italy in Tripoli; and
for these reasons, as we'll as her pique on
account of the manner in which she was
treated by England in the Egyptian fin
ancial arrangement, she is guiding Tur
keys policy in the matter OF the latter's
occupation OF the Soudan. Whatever
England's blunders and ambitions in
Africa may have been, still great credit is
due her for her constant effort to suppress
/ the slave trade there. In this she has
been quite successful, and humanity owes
her and Sir Samuel Baker gratitude for
their labors in this direction. The
trade still exists in some parts,
but it has been much diminished
and confined in its area, and what
now goes on is done clandestinely
and not SO openly as formerly. Ii Eng
land continues to occupy the Soudan and
completely suppresses the slave trade,
but very little complaint will be made
against her. 1t will cost her something
in men and money, but she is able to bear
this tax upon her, and she will advance
the cause Of civilization where it is most
needed. To relegate the control OF the
Soudan to Turkey, unhampered by condi-
lions, would be to relegate it to barbar-
ism and the slave trade.

Heading Off the Cholera.

We were very much shocked yesterday
at seeing Colonel Percy Yerger, one OF
the most influential citizens in Austin, in
an advanced state of intoxication.
"Why, Colonel, what is the matter
with YOU ?" asked several of his friends,
whereupon the Colonel steadied himself
on lamp-post, and asked them in a
broken voice if they had not read the
papers, to which they replied that they
had.
"Well, then, didn't you (hic) read that

THE " OMAHA" !"

The inspection which Secretary Whit
ney has just made OF the Omaha" is not
such as to fatter the country that the
American navy can defend our sea coast.
much less ''rule the waves" The
Omaha" is an old wooden vessel that
belongs to the naval architecture OF the
days before the invention OF ironclads
and her model and structure are alike
inconsistent with turning her into 4
tirst-class modern man-oi-war. When
she shall be fully oyerhauled
and repaired, she will stll be
an old vessel, and not worth what il
will have cost to repair heir. Ericcson's
Monitor revolutionized naval archi-
lecture, and flag ship OF the days of
Nelson would be as much out of place in
modern naval engagement as the
Spanish galleons CT early colonial
times would have been at Trafalgar
Rodman guns with inserted rifling are
not the equals OF the Krupp gun or the
Armstrong gun of the same weight and
calibre, and the reason is that they are old
guns remodelled, And it is more the case
with old vessels. The new Administration
should abandon the theory that the old
vessels can he successfully remodelled
and made as good as the modern men-of-
war, and use its influence and endeavors
to have Congress construct entirely new
men-of-war on the most improved plans,
and make them the successful rivals OF
the great men-of-war of England aud
Italy, and to cease trying to make new

reasonable to suppose that the American
people will permit that inferior system to
supplant their own? 1t is not; and for
this reason it is safe to assume that po-
lygamy and its corollaries can and
will be annihilated in Utah. The
claim that the polygamic system
is of God, and consequently eternal truth,
and for that reason, if no other, it cannot
be put down in Utah, is entitled to just
such consideration as the worth OF ex-
perience will give it. Experience proves
the divinity and worth OF doctrine far
more than the dictG OF ecclesiastical
authority. On this point we shall cite
John Stuart Mill, logician and meta
physician, reformer and politician 10
whose opinion the world gives great
Difference.
.sRut indeed. the dictum that truth always
triunluhs over persecution, Is one OF titoSe
nleasant falsehoods which men repeat dlteI
one another till they pass into common
nlaces. but which all experience fe1uteS,
No reasonable person can doubt that Chri5-
t;oDitv mioht have been eXtirpated In the
Poyoan empire. 1t spread, and became pre-
dominant. because the prosecutions were
only occasional, lasting but a short time,
and separated by long intervals OF almost
undisturbed propagandlsm. 1t Is piece OF
idle sentimentality that truth, merely as
truth. has any inherent power denied to
error, of prevailing against the dungeon and
the stake. Men are not more Jealous Tor
truth than they often are for error ana a
sufficient application of legal or even social
penalties will generally succeed in stopping
the propagation of either"
We cite these passage TO show it is the
continual, never ceasing effort to extir-
pate heresy or practice which sue
ceeds. 1t is this effort to enforce the
laws against the polygamic system OF the
family which prevails in Utah, that Is
needed, and that alone, to eXtirpate that
system. 1t is against its practice and
not against the belief in its divinity that
the law strikes, and it strikes at it be-
cause it is a system which is inconsistent
to the very being OF the State as consti-
tuted in the United States, and is of the
East and not OF the West, and Is antag-
onistic to the civilization that has made
the modern nations of Europe and
America what they are. To permit the
poIygamic system OF the family to pre-
Wallis to change the unit OF the State as
founded, and to change the unit of the
State is to destroy the State. 1t is for
this if for no other reason that polygamy
can be, should be and will be suppressed
in Utah Territory.

ninInmatic Argument.

Speaking of two legislative bodies as
against one, there is no better Illustration
than the story that is told by the great
French publicist, Laboulaye, OF Washing
ton and Jefferson. Jefferson was taking
tea with the father of his country, and,
having recently returned from france,
was talking of the French system, Whlch
had but one Legislative chamber. WASH
ington listened with interest to the emo,
and then said:
4" You have just shown the superior al.
vantage of the two-chamber system OF
legislation"
7'How is that" asked Jefferson.
"Why, YOU have poured your tea out
of your cup into your saucer to cool.
1t is said that the argument was con-
sid red a powerful one with Jefferson.

Base Bali Notes.

The Eurekas went to Richmond, p.
O., last Saturday and played a match
game with the club of that place and
beat them easily in a score of 80 to 10,
besides having to meet many rank
decisions by the umpire; they returned
Saturday night reporting a good time
and gentlemanly treatment at the
hands of the Richmond boys.
On Tuesday afternoon the Eurekas
played a return game with the STRAIT
fords, of No. Stratford, with whom
they played and won some three weeks
ago. 1t appeared from the start to be
an ''off day" with the Eurekas, and
they lost the game by score of II to
s. The Stratfords play IL fine game
and are, besides, as nice party Of
young men as one often meets, but we
think, with their own nine men, the
Eurellas are the stronger team, we
hope so, anyway. The interest shown
here in the national game calls for the
| formation OF Il base ball association,
with Il manager competent and em-
powered to pick his men, and have
the matter arranged in IL business like
manner.

Last week Wednesday number of
the guests of the Willoughby Lake
House made short visit to Island
Pond. They were handsomely enter
tanned during their stay by Mr.. w. A.
Richardson, and in the evening Il So
cial dance was gotten up for their
benefit, to which a large number Of
our citizens were invited, Bigelow's
Orchestra supplying the music.
Dancing was INDUCED in until about
II o'clock, at which time, on invita-
ton of Mr.. Richardson, the assembled
guests adjourned to the capacious
dining room of the Stewart House to
partake of light collation., consisting
of cold meats, ice cream, cake, tea
and coffee, ETC., and to which ample
justice was done. Before retiring
from the dining room, Mr.. Bullock, on
behalf of the guests from Willoughby,
expressed in u brief and pithy little
speech the pleasure and qualification
all had experienced during their stay
here, especially by the cordiality and
courtesy with which they had been
greeted by the citizens, and the open
hearted hospitality they had received
at the hands of the proprietor Of the
house. Dancing was again INDUCED
in for brief time, and early on Thurs
day moruing the visitors departed in
buoYant spirits for the Lake. Mr.
Geo. L. Cheney, of Boston, Mass,
who happened to be in town, added
much to the general enjoyment by
singing in his inimitable manner 'The
Jolly Fat Man." which, it is needless
TO say, was enthusiastically encored,
to which he responded with a laugh
ing song. All in all, the occasion was
/ delightful one,

A Trip VViiiouxhby.

Although it seems superiluous to
talk about what most everybody un-
derstands and appreciates, still our
| observation is that no one visits VIII
loughby Lake without expressing en-
Enthusiastically the pleasure impaired
by that beautiful locality, as we are
now moved to do on our return from
a trip there. Ever since that lovely
evening of the long ago boyhood days
when one of Vermont's romantic and
accomplished musicians went away
there for the sole purpose of reclining
in his boat-amid the then scarcely
interrupted forestS-on the bosom of
the still lake during sunset hour that
he might listen to the musical echoes
responding to his bugle, until now,
men and women have, and will, vie
with each other in praises of the seen
cry. A somewhat extensive traveller
remarked to us that the view so sud
denly bursting upon the eye as you
approach the lake from the north, had
scarcely an equal of its kind in all the
world of nature. The interest it awak-
ems in the mind seems to us to grow out
of the fact that the mountains on
either side of the lake in their contour,
arrangement, and comparative size
and height, are unlike anything else in
the country. And then to move
around the lake in the pjmpant and
lively little boat of the jolly good
natured Captain Averill, looking up,
and away right and left, over the can
vass is unlike moving around one of
the grandest picture galleries in that
here the mind is enjoying itself in the
contemplation of grand reality, and
not an imitation. In addition to this,
as in picture, you study the details
arranged in it by the artful hand of
Il painter, so here you may study for
hours the details even to the most
minute which nature has so plentifully
arranged in all this scenery. Not the
least of these are the curious resem-
blances to living forms, figures of men,
animals, ETC., reminding one of the
"Old man of the mountain" or the
famous city represented on the great
mountain of the west. To the quiet,
contemplative, artistic mind it seems
! to US (although we do not claim to be
of that order) no pleasanter retreat
can be found, ut least in New England.
The Sudden contrasts that are present
ed also in going from pleasant little de-
tails into the cave recently discovered,
a full description of which has already
been published in these columns, eX-
cites peculiar and pleasant interest
| Taking this retreat all in all, in CON
neCtion with the manner in which the
| visitors are entertained, free from the
rush and friction Of more fashionable
resorts, the good. wholesome fare, the
kind and courteous attention which
visitors receive, the availability of all
country amusements, and the moder
ate expenses, and all the other Incl
dents Of IL trip here make this one OF
the most desirable places to visit that
we know of anywhere, and we predict
in the future, and in no long time, i;
will outstrip all its competitors and
stand absolutely at the head of this
class OF summer resorts.
