The Mormon Memorial.

The committee appointed to present 10
/ the President the memorial adopted by
the MOrmOns against the enforcement OF
the anti-polygamy laws VIII not get much
encouragement. The President is strongly
opposed to polygamy, aud can be de-
pended upon, not only to see that the
laws prohibiting it are enforced, but also
to recommend others Of a more stringent
character. In his inaugural address he
took particular pains TO refer to polygamy,
and to speak Of it in terms that left no
doubt about his sentiments with regard
to 1t.
The Mormon Committee, therefore, are
only wasting their time in seeking the
Presidents influence in behalf Of their
peculiar institution.
The Edmunds law is being enforced
vigorously, and several polygamists have
lately been convicted, fined and impris-
oned The Mormons have until recently
defed the law, and have succeeded in
preventing the government from getting
testimony necessary to secure convic-
lions, A way has been discovered at last,
however, to reach the law-breakers, and
the Mormons viii have to give up their
peculiar institution or suffer the pen
alties which the law provides.
The government has dealt Ieniently with
the Mormons too long. They had begun
to think that they could defy the govern
ment with lmpunity, and to treat with
contempt the laws and those appointed to
administer them.
They had everything pretty much their
own way in Utah while the Republican
party was in power. 1t Is true the Re-
publicans passed laws against polygamy,
but the attempt to enforce the laws was
so feeble that polygamy iourished in spite
of the laws. Under Democratic rule the
laws are being enforced in way that
alarms the Mormous. They have aban-
doned their aggressive attitude and are
now humbly pleading for relief from the
/ prosecutions that have been instituted
against polygamlsts. The only answer
they viii get from this administration,
and the only answer they ought to get, is
that they must abandon polygamy or suf-
fer the consequences.
If the Mormons don't like the laws of
this country they are at liberty TO seek
some other country. il is hardly to he
expected that the laws will be changed to
suit the Mormons and permit an institu-
ton to flourish that is hostile to Christi
anity and civilization.

Food InSnectiOn.

Nearly all the larger cities have sys-
TENS Of inspection, which result more Or
less successfully in protecting the people
from those who sell adulterated or other
wise deleterious food products. In places
where the most rigid system of inspection
is in force, there are large quantities of
such improper food stuff sold, it beng i'm
possible for the inspectors to be every
where at the same time. 1t cannot be es-
timated, then, how much of such stuff is
sold in places where little or no attention
is paid to the subject of food inspection.
Some time ago the city government of
st Louis, from motives of false economy,
abolished the inspection system which
was in force IN that city. The result has
been that now the people of st. Louis
have no protection from that class of
butchers and other tradesmen who win
sell anything from diseased meat to
adulterated sugar, while there is no end
of stale vegetables and decayed fruit
exposed for sale in the markets.
No honest, honorable business man will
object to having his wares inspected. He
may not be able himself to detect adul-
iteration or other defects that render his
goods unfit for food. Many dealers would
gladly pay a small fee to have their goods
inspected, and their excellence and
purity attested by an official in whom the
people reposed confidence. Some would
kick against inspection. of course, but
these are the very ones who render q
system of inspection necessary.
1t is probable that innumerable cases Of
/ disease and many deaths which are
/ charged to other causes are due to the
eating of food that would be condemned
under an efficient system of inspection
! Tnis subject is of more importance thar
many people think. Very few places in
the South, especially the small towns
have any system Of food inspection. This
ought not TO be so.

The Baptist Convention and Divorce

The Baptist Convention and Divorce.
The efforts of Senator Brown at the
Baptist Convention, at Augusta, to in
duce the Baptist Church to take firm
stand against the divorce evil, and to
recognize adultery only as a legitimate
ground for divorce, will do much to erase
the rather unfavorable impression which
his speech in the Senate a year or so ago
on polygamy created. 1t is to be re-
GREETED that the convention did not stand
by the resolution, embodying Senator
Browns views relative to divorce, which
it adopted.
There is no question that the divorce
evil is growing and that it must be
checked, if checked at all, by the influ-
ence of religious denominations. The
Catholic Church deserves all praise for
the firm stand which it has always taken,
and which it maintains with eXtraordi-
nary frmness, against divorce. Senator
Brown well said that Protestant denomi-
nations might follow the example Of the
Catholic Church in this matter with great
profit.
There are few who are aware how great
the divorce evil has become, or how much
misery flows from it. 1t is claimed that
one of the reasons why the door to divorce
has been thrown open so wide in many
States is to relieve misery, but it is prob
able that if the truth were known this
means to relieve misery is a prolific
source of misery. If there were no way
to sever the marriage relation people
would be more careful in entering into
it. They would choose more carefully and,
perhaps, more wisely, and if they
discovered incOmpatibility they would
try to bear with each others faults. At
present many people marry, dou 5tless
with the idea that if they make a mistake
they can get a divorce. In some Of the
States the principal business Of the courts
! is granting divorces, and the laws are so
conflicting that man may be regarded
as married in one State and unmarried in
another.
In New England, if the number Of di-
vorces annually granted continues to in
crease as it is now increasing, it will not
be many years before the number Of di-
vorces annually will equal the number Of
| marriages.

Russia's Diplomatic Victory.

The English people are glad that war
with Russia has, in all probability, been
averted, but they are By no means salts
fed with the concessions which Mr.. Glad
stone made to secure peace. They under
stand, as all Europe understands, that
England receded from the defiant POSITION
she took Immediately after the Russian
attack on the Afghans on March 30, ana
that Russia has gained prestige IN ASIA
that she never hoped to secure except by
means of n successful war.
1t is not by any means certain now that
there viii be an arbitration OF any ques-
ton. There is, in fact, nothing much for
an arbitrator to pass upon in the matter
that the two governments have agreed TO
submit to arbitration.
Russia, at last, assumes the whole re-
sponsibuity for Komarofs attack on the
AGghans. She SAYS that she ordered him
not to advance into Penjdeh, but did not
order him not to attack the Afghans. In
failing to instruct him not to attack the
Afghans she does not think she violated
the agreement of March H. However,
she is willing to have an arbitrator say
whether she did or not.
What good viii it do England to have
an arbitrator say that Russia misunder-
stood the agreement Of March II? Russia
does not propose to give up anything
which she gained by violating the agree
ment.
The fact is Russia does not intend 10
make any concessions, apologies, promi-
SEES or backward movements. She re-
fused England's request that she should
enter into an agreement not to advance
beyond the boundary which it is now pro-
posed shall be fixed, or attempt to occupy
Herat. As soon as she gets her railway
built to the Afghan frontier it is probable
that she will continue her advance to-
wards Herat.
In England attention is being drawn
away from the difficulty with Russia, to
some extent, by the reports Of an impend-
ing change in che Ministry. There is a
very strong impression that the Ministry
viii be out of power in less thar two
weeks. They evidently expect something
of the kind and are preparing for il.
Within the next few DAYS several
measures will come before Parliament
which will be utilized to test the strength
of the government. 1t is thought that Mr..
Gladstone and his party would rather be
beaten on the proposition to Increase the
drink tax in the budget than on any
other. There might be a moral advantage,
it is thought, in having lack Of conf
dence shown in the vote on that measure.
On that the party in power is united,
while on some other important pending
questions-the Irish question, for in
stance-it is divided. AS the election is
now at hand lookout is being kept for
future advantages.

Consul Metres Wife Divorced.
From "a Nelo Yogk WorZd.

A decree of absolute divorce was granted
Thursday to Mary Lloyd Metre from j. En-
nest Metre in the Circuit Court for
Talbot county, Md. Mrs, Metre
was a daughter OF the late Com
mOdOre Buchanan. who commanded the
Merrimac in the fight with the Monitor dur

newly appointed Consul to Japan, who made
himself so conspicuous in the corridors of
Wizards Hotel, at Washington. few weeks
ago. The proceedings were instituted in Tai
bot county, and the case has been conducted
very quietly. Metre not making any defense.
1t is supposed that the reason that Metre was
appointed to Japan WAS because Of his high
connections with prominent people Of the
peninsula, whereas the fact is that the Blu
chanans entirely repudiated HIM some time
ago. 1t is understood that the grounds on
which the divorce was granted were brU
tality and neglect.

Romance of a Convent.

Washington Letter IN Chicago Nel0s.
A daughter OF Gen. Winfield Scott, who at
tended the GEORGETOWN convent number of
years ago, took the veil when young lady.
There is little romance connected with her
life and her determination to become a nun.
She visited England in company with friends,
and while there met young man with whom
she fell in love. The young man had SINH
lar fall. For some reason the two were pre-
vented from marrying. In consequence she
determined to become a nun and he a priest.
The determination Of one was unknown to
the other. A few years afterwards he, as
priest, visited the convent here. She was
lying on her deathbed. He saw her and
recognized her. The recognition was mutual.

Some time ago a Royal Commission
were appointed In England for the pur-
pose Of reporting the best methods of con-
structing workmen's dwellings. A cable
dispatch to the Philadelphia Press says
that the Commission have agreed upon
some novel recommendations. Among
them Is one that building lands be heavily
taxed. In giving their reasons, says the
dispatch, for a proposition so entirely at
variance with established ideas, the Com
mission have largely adopted the well
known economic principles Of Henry
George, and the end Of their argument in
favor OF the proposed increase Of taxation
is arrived at by the use of almost pre-
cisely the same logic as he employs.
Much care has been taken, however,
that no mention OF Georges name should
occur in the paper, and, although his
writings and speeches on this particular
subject have evidently been thoroughly
MIXED, the whole matter is dished up in
a style intended TO convey the idea OF
original discovery. Lord Salisbury, alive
to the interests Of the Tory landowners,
quickly discovered the drift OF the work
Of the Commission, and has already con-
demned the scheme as communistic and
impractieable.
