demonstration of the existence of apple
trees vas in the disclosure, made through
a very low condition of the water, that
apple.tree trunks formed part of the
foundations of the habitations of the
lake dwellers of Switzerland. This
period, as nearly as could be judged,
was from 1900 to 1000 years before
Christ. That the apple with which Eve
was tempted in the garden of Eden,
according to the Scriptures, is the apple
of to-day is uncertain, inasmuch as the
word anciently applied to the apple in
cluded the ounce and the pear. Conse-
quently Eve might have been tempted by
either of these latter fruits. The present
apple was due to the cultivation and de-
velopment Of the crab apple, and tho
popularity of the apple,in its evolution
is that the part now valuable was simply
the calix thickened and become feshy,
which had formed around the original
fruit or seeds. There are now about 900
varieties of apples, classified under not
less than 5000 Names"

must be muzzled. This bill proposes to
let the majority govern. Now I sumit,
who is fighting for, the enforcement Of
Democratic principles? Let them
answer me if they can.
In the next place let us look at It's le-
gal aspect. The following measures
already on our statute. books commit this
House to the principle involved in this
bill. The statutes against lotteries,
gambling, profanity, circulation of OBJ
scene literature (now before. the. House,
and the law protecting the saeredness OF
the marriage relation, are all meant to
protect public morals. This lies at the
bottom of all penal legislation. APPOINT
of law has been made here on this floor
that the present license laws are of
untold benefit to the temperance cause |;
that they restrict the sale of liquor to
the few, instead Of tho many In their
absence. This is incorrect. 1 assert
that the license system alone is what
gives life to the traffic; and if the Leg.
islature withdraws it's support in the form
of such laws every saloon would be
closed in this State in six months. The
Supre Court of the United States, in 5
Howard, p. 697, says that there can be
no such claim as natural right to sell
liquor. We're it not for home influences
and Christianity, which check this great
evil, this body to-day would be response.
BILE for the ruin of the State. Wipe out
your license laws and the traffic would
go.
In the last place, on the legal aspect
of the question, let me say, there is q
clause in the Constitution which is not
meaningless, which guarantees to the
people the right to petition any depart.
ment of the government for the redress
of any evil. Upon question like this q
strong petition leaves US no discretion.
It is not question Of prohibition here.
The question is, Who are the rulers, the
people or the members Of this House9
It is our duty to. obey: if not, then the
only alternative is to resign our seats
and let the people send men here who
will represent them. Now, Sir, major.
ity of the citizens of our city and her
property holders petition for this elec-
ton; large portion of the voters OF the
county ask the same. Shall we under
take to decide that which they desire to
decide for themselves9 I trust not.
Now I ask that the county that held
the frat Hampton meeting in 1876, that
organized the first Democratic club. and
inaugurated the red shirt movement in
the State and was the first to adopt the
stock Law, be allowed to move onward In
her upward progress and be given those
rights which the intelligence and wisdom
of her citizens dictate can be exercised
by her without detriment to the welfare
of our State.

In speaking of the treatment of the
two Mormon Elders at Bolton last week,
the Neus and Courier says:
at is decidedly unpleasant and un.
promising condition of affairs when men
who are not accused of violating the laws
in any way are arrested without warrant
and taken before an irregular assemblage
of citizens, of whatever character or
standing in their community, and are
warned to leave the neighborhood under
an express or implied threat of personal
violence in the event of their failure to
take the hint. This is what occurred at
Beltonr on Wednesday last, however, and
the4 "lesding citizens" who were con-
cerned 10 the affair certainly could not
have given due consideration to the
nature and probable bad effects of their
action before committing themselves to
SO extreme q course. If the Mormon
Elders were guilty of any breach of the
law, the law should have been resorted
to in q lawful way. But whether guilty
or. not, they have been illegally dealt
with, and those who have assumed to
speak and act in the name of society and
order in this instance have set an exam
/ pie which ia plainly calculated to subyert
all order and destroy society ITSELF
These men may not have violated any
of the statutes Of this State, but they
were seeking to scatter among our people
hideous, revolving and demoralizing
doctrine in the name of religion, the
practice of one of whose tenets is made
by Congress crime. They wese going
through the country from house to house
seeking diligently for the unwary whom
they could entrap. No man should give
them harbor or quarter. They are a
menace to the purest principles Of our
social customs and principles, and while
we do not go so far IS to announce that
We would approve extreme violence in
such case, we certainly are prepared tn
defend the course pursued by our friends
at Bolton. They have ridded the Couu.
ty of two nuisances, and they deserve
the well-dono Of the public instead Of
itsHSensure. There is difference be:
tween this case and the ordinary exercise
of mob law. Here were two interlopera
scattering or attempting to scatter the
seeds of moral leprosy in our midst, and
the people quietly summon these evil
doers before them and give them notice
to leave our County. Had they refused,
then, doubtless the vagrant or other
laws OF the State would have been re-
sorted to In order to rid as Of these pests.
The Beltonr action was, we think, entirely
commendable in purpose and happy in
its results.

his room with a half dozen reporters
gathered about him. He talked of things
ancient and modern, past, psrsent, and to
pleased with the administration, and that it
had shown no tendency to discriminate
against Union soldiers, not zone of whom
had been unjustly turned out so far as he
knew. He spoke of the war articles In The
Century, and said he had been asked to
write for it, but had declined, as he thought
the story had been told in his
memoirs" Asked about the last
papers by Confederate officers in
the magazine, he remarked that
it was natural for officers to exsggerate the
Importance of their divisions or brigades

this respect be very valuable, as 1t would
assign to each its proper value in relation to
the entire army The services of the Army
of the Tennessee, which holds its reunion in

not to be regarded as councils, but merely
Informal chats, in which Gen. Sheridan Is
soaking all the light possible on their
grievances, if they have any. The chiefs
disclam any warliks intentions, it is said,
but the officials are reticsnt as to what actu-

ierStood, however, that none OF the author

with Stone Calf. He is the scoun-

50, Sheridan will be apt to make short work
ii him anl all connected with him. There
are now sixteen companies at Reno, all
under command of Col E. Y. Suttsn, Fifth

three troops of cavalry few weeks ago
was the first intimation the Cheyennes
had that the government meant to
check their aggressiyeness, and if
need be, punish their insolence. Subse.
9uently, when further reinforcsments ar

they are now quiet and docils apparently.
Gen Sheridan and party had hard ride

iere is very YARN, he is not in a mood just
aow TO par!ey long with the Indians or waste
much time n useless talk.
