P0LYGAMY JCDICIaLLY CON-
DENIED

A test case under haw of the United
States affixing as punishment for the prac-
tee of polygamy fine and Imprisonment, has
just been decided by the Supreme Court OF
the United States, affirming a decision of the
Of the Supreme Court of Utah, in the poly
pamy case of Rudger Clawsou, appellant,
against the United States, on appeal from
the Territorial Supreme Court. C!awson had
been found guilty of polygamy and unlawful
cohabitation, was sentenced to pay fines az
gregating $500, and to imprisonment for
four years. He appealed to the Supreme
Court Of the Territory, and, pending judg-
ment on such appeal, applied to the court
that had sentenced him for release upon suit
able bail. The judge denied the application
on the ground that the defendant ought not
to be admitted to bail after conviction and
sentence, unless some extraordinary reason
for it were shown, and no such reason had
been given. Clawson thereupon sued out
writ of habeas corpus in the Supreme Court
of the Territory, and prayed for release upon
the ground that the court below had unlaw-
fully refused him to bail. The Supreme
Court overruled the petition, and remanded
the prisoner to the custody of the marshal,
whereupon he took the present appeal to the
United States court.
This court holds that, inasmuch as the
judgment of the 81 judicial court in which
the prisoner was tried did not impose upon
him fine only, but also Imprisonment,
his admission to bail, pending the appeal
from that judgment, is distinctly committed
by the laws Of Utah to the discretion of the
court or judge to whom the application for
bail may be made. The Supreme Court of
Utah was therefore right in oyerruling the
petition aud remanding the prisoner to the
custody of the marshal, and its judgment is
affirmed. Opinion by Justice Harlan, JUS
tees Miller and Field dissenting.

at Naples showed the disease to commence
amongst the poorest and most unsanitary
parts of the population, and the maximum
mortality was observed where squalor and
filth was greatest, Drinking liquor invites
an attack, for OF the whole number Of cholera
patients admitted to the Naples hospitals 90
per cent. were addicted to habits
of dissipation. Cholera is prob
ably as malignant now as II
was fifty years ago. Official statistics of this
disease in Italy during the recent epidemic,
show IL, 800 cases and $500 deaths, being q
mortality Of about 30 per cent.
With regard to the important matter OF
prevention Of cholera, the subject will doubt
less receive full consideration at the forth
coming sanitary conference which meets
here on 2Sth inst. Our official state and To-
cal boards of health will come sadly short of
their high prerogatiyes if they do not become
potent factors in state and'municipal meas
ures for defense.
There is no estimating the quoting effect
upon the public mind which would follow the
announcement by these health officers that
every arrangement had been made for meet
ing the disease, and in case it comes the IA
cilities for managing it being already at hand
no unnecessary confusion or panic would
follow.

ST. PAUL AND THE STATE FAIR.

The letter from a minnesota Farmer"
published in yesterdays GLOBE, stated some
very pertinent truths in very forclble man
uer Il was very evident from the start that
no satisfactory arrangement could be made
whereby st. Paul aud Minneapolis could
unite In securing grounds and rendering
them for state fair purposes. The absurdity
Of any proposition which prevents ST. Paul
from extending her city limits or doing any
other act within her own territory which she
wishes to, is too apparent to admit OF dis
cussion.
The committee Of the st. Paul Chamber Of
Commerce has laborcd in good faith to Sc
cure a union agreement, and their Overtnres
have been rejected. The so called compro-
mise is no compromise whatever, and should
not be entertained for a moment. The State
authorities should act independently, as our
intelligent correspondent suggests, and St..
Paul and her legislative delegation should 90
ahead aud place the city limits where it
seems best to them, without outside inter
ference or impudent dictatiou.

On the March to Berber.


LONDON, Jan. "a. The war Office has just
made public a dispatch received this after
noon from Gen. Wolseley, at Korti. He says
he has heard nothing further from Gen.
Stewart. The reported capture of Omdurman
by Ell Mahdi's forces, Woseley says, lacks
confirmation and is doubtful Gen. Earl's
column, thoroughly provisioned and
equipped, comprising artillery, cav
airy and camel corps, started
to-day from Hamdab to Berber The
march is to be made by the way Of Abu-
horned. The enemy, which includes the en-
tire fighting force of the Manissc tribe, under
command of Wadgamcr, who ordered the
murder of Consul Stewart, and fighting men
of other tribes under Moussa, have assem-
bled in war order at Ritz. This is
thirty-fve miles above Hamdab
the starting point of to-day's expedition,
Wolselev says both Wadgamr and Monssa
boast they are determined to give battle. II
so, an engagement between these chiefs and
Gen. Earle by Monday would seem inevita-
BILE. Wolseley states, however, that the sol
diers who go with the earle are all in the best
of health and spirits. They regard Stewards
battle last Saturday as glorious
victory. They are proud of the achievements
of their comrades, and anxious to meet the
rebels on their own account. Wolseley de-
cares the Arabs have been depressed by the
news of Stewards victory, and its affect has
been so great and widespread in his opinion
it may properly be onsidered doubtful if the
earl will meet any serious opposition before
reaching Berber.

r9F RTeIT PRESS

The Chicago Hsralf has some sensible aud

is made CONSPICUOUS that during the long
national official life Of the Republican par
" local papers have largely multiplied, many
OF the publishers Of which having been
strengthened or enriched by postmasterships
or other official positions, while Democratic
journals, notonly have uotinereased but de-
creased in number, aud most OF the compar-
alive few remaining, aud especially ia the
Northwest, lead only starveling lives.
Daring the last FIVE or six years, rural jour
mails have been springiug up With quick rs-
piiity in the Northwest and especially in
Minnesota aud Dakota. Within that period
the number Of local papers have more than
doubled, and Il may be safely said that nine
tenths OF them all are Republican. 1t is
nothing uncommon to have two or even
thrrs Republican journals in one county
seat, and there are Republican counties with
several large towns, having FIVE or six Re-
publican papers within the limits Of the
county, and II Is hardly an exagEeTation 20
say there are as many editor Posimasters

The Hsrlid truly and wisely remarks that
the true way TO build Up, strengthen and
advance party interests is 10 support news

Gov. ALGER, Republican, of Michigan,
who was inaugurated less than a month
ago. has shown his devotion to civil service
reform, by turning out OF Office every APP
pointee of his Democratic predecessor and
filing their places with Republicans without
any reference to the merits, capabilities or
good conduct of the DISPLACED officers. Re-
publican journals that go into spasm in an
ticipation of the violation Of the civil service
law by President Cleveland have not word
to say in censure of Gov. Ayers sweeping
removals, without regard to decency or jus
ticc. So much for Republican consistency
and honesty. $40 the victors belong the
spells, - is the motto where the Republicans
are in power, but where the Democracy are
in power they resolutely oppose turning the
rascals out.

THE MATTERN HOTEL CASE.
Landlord Anderson Writes his Attor-
ney-Brief Abstract of the
Letter, Etc.

Geo. W. Walsh, the advising attorney OF
Chas. A. Anderson, late of the Mattern ho-
tel, received letter from the latter yesterday
which was shown to a representative OF the
GLOBE last evening, of which the following
is an abstract:
"Before leaving st. Paul, being pressed by
my creditors and having the assurance II
would come east that my brOther-in-law
would loan me $1,000, l consulted Mr..
Walsh as to whether had better go on ana
get the money or make an assignment 10 my
creditors. He advised the former course
and / acted upon it, having moi
the slightest intention OF remaining away,
leaving my creditors worse OFT for having
seen me, or deserving my family. The first
notice Ireceived that could not secure this
loan was upon my arrival at Chicago, and

pated by me aud thorough surprise.

and have never had any claims on them.
The goods down In the restaurant belong 10
the parties who put them there, and bad they
wait Il until Feb, 1, they would all Of them
have been paid in full for the same.
II you Walsh advise my return will

thing wrong In the premises. and shall come

The information you sent me that my wife Is

In reply TO the question as to how the
matter now stands, Mr.. Walsh replied: THE

nothing has been done. Mr.. Gofortb, as

RUJLDTYG INSPECTION.

The annual report Of Building Inspector
johnson contains some valuable suggestions
which the city authorities will do well TO heed.
The creation of the Office was unfortunately
delayed several years after 1t should have
been made, aud 1t is consequently all the
more i'm portant that II should be made as
efficient as possible, right speedily. The pre-
cautions which the Office, properly admins
tered. permit are OF inestlmable value and
will result in saving property from destruc-
ton as we'll as the saving of lives,
which cannot be estimated In a pc
cuniary sense. II the Office was
a tax upon the city it would
be one OF the best possible investments, but
when It Is shown to be self supporting,a as Il is
by this report, 1t Is all the more reasonable
that the request Of the Inspector for adequate
force to make what the growth of the city re-
quires, should be complied With. Mr.. John
son has proven a faithful aud competent
official, and the suggestions in his report are
derived from 4 practical experience which
gives them weight and should result in their
being needed.

Now the Rev. DR.. Newman is quite con-
sistent, and is the avowed chaplain of the
Worship of Wealth.
His services come high when it is a ques-
! ton of funeral rhetoric, but the mourners
must be good for the levy, and it is COM
fort to know that no poor brethren can be
directly taxed to keep such high priced
spiritual iuiationist in his golden career.
The homespun heart will be quickened into
keenest sympathy by the simple sentence OF
Thomas darcy MCGEE on the death of his
only boy: "Men seek for treasure in the

BEECHER's church is booming. Old Ply
mouth is still on deck. The politics of the
eloquent pastor, and his opposition to cor
rupt candidate has not only not killed it, but
has added to it new life and activity. 1t is
cheeringly reported of it, that it is more
crowded than ever before, since some news
papers circulated the report that there had
been or would be large falling off of at
tendance on Beecher's preaching. It is true
that the pews did not altogether bring as
much as they had in some former years By a
couple of thousand dollars, while some Of
them brought more than had ever been paid
for places in that church before. Some
Plymouth members had doubtless cooled to-
wards the great preacher on account of his
positive political stand against their party
candidate for president and advocacy of an
other man. But these had listened to Beech
er's sermons long enough to be good and
their stepping aside made room for new re-
eruits from the highways and hedges of So
ciety. Besides, there has long been a gen.
eral impression that Beecher's church was
Uvercrowded, and the reports of falling off
have suggested to many that they might now
find room. This accession OF multitudes
hoping TO see and hear Plymouth pulpit elo-
quence has naturally swelled the attendance
TO greater dimensions than ever before in the
history Of this church.
