WASHINGTON LETTER.

From our Regular CORRESPONDENT.
WASHINGTON, ID. c.. May 5, 1885.
One nail in the coffin of Mormon
polygamy has been driven by the U. S.
supreme Court in the Clawson case,
which af1irms the decision of the court
below in eliminating polygamists from
the jury-box. The farce of trying per-
son for the crime of polygamy by pam
ell of jurors who are guilty of the Of
fence themselves, is about as broad as
that of the burglar who insisted upon
being tried by his peers, who must also
have followed burglary as a profession.
One admirable effect of the operations
of the civil service delusion, is the i'm
petus it has given to the business of the
office broker, For sufficient consider
alton these influential gentlemen hold
out to the Office seeker the lnducement
that any ordinary clerical position with
good salary attachment can be secur-
ed under the provisions of the act with
out any formula OF examination or 9TH
er preliminary. This, of course, opens
the door for the admission of all sorts
of incOmpetents, whose tenure of Office
depends upon the influences that secur-
ed their appointment, and not by any
application of civil service rules or cier-
ical capacity. To say that these Office
brokers are now drying ii rushing big
trade, is to demonstrate to the civil
service reform admirers the beauties of
the system, which admits to the very
best places in the Government the class
of incompetents that the civil service
law has vainly intended to eliminate.
Hitherto there have been few benefi-
cial results from the Insurance of Pres
idential proclamations when they affect
ed the settlement or distribution of the
public lands because there were so
many interests involved in opposition
to them, but the recent proclamation
from the executive which absolutely
and without reserve orders sthe remov-
ing and destroying of the Illegal fences
that have enclosed the lands belonging
to the people, will be and must be car
ried out to the letter. The law provides
that these fences shall be taken down,
and the President declares that the law
shall be enforced.
With all of the public and private en-
doWments that have been made in this
country for the proper care and treat
ment of the insane. almost one half of
the entire number of these unfortunates
are cared for by their own friends at
home, for want of room in the public
institutions. The proportion of insane
patients to population is greatest in
New England, while the largest ratio
of increase comes from the West where
there has been an almost ineXcusable
omission to make provision for this
large increase of insane persons. A
somewhat astonishing fact in connec-
tion with the great increase OF insanity
is given by the census statistics, which
show that the number of insane pers-
ons in 1880 was greater by $50 per cent.
than in 1870, and that the increase of
the whole population in that decade
was but 25 per cent. Truly may it be
said that the world is getting crazy.

Mr.. L. Rhone, one of the represent
atives from this county made an ef-
fort last Friday in the house to have
the bill considered requiring the audit
or general and state treasurer to an
nually fix the rate of taxation of the
capital stock or shares of private cor
porations subject to tax, the proceeds of
which are to be applied to cover state
government expenses. The bill failed
to be acted upon as might be- expected
under the circumstances. Democratic
measures stand but very little chance,
there are too many odds against them.
