THE sHAKY SAINTS.

Recent developments in Mormondom indi-
cate that the polygamists will not fight as
iercely for their pet doctrine as it was
thought they would. Indeed, it is consid-
cred probable by some that the Church will
formally abandon polygamy, and even that
this step may be taken at the coming spring
conference. A discussion of the matter has
been quietly going on in Utah, and at last
the newspaper organ of the Church in Salt
Lake has referred to it in a way which shows
that there is good deal of anti-polygamous
sentiment among the Saints.
Members of the Church, says the organ re-
ferred to, who feel and talk favorably for
abrogation of doctrinal points are the re-
verse of s'strong" and it continues: They
probably belong to class who believe in
the fullness of the gospel as restored through
Joseph Smith and almost wish they didn't,
or, at least, that it was not true. They
would like to do the will Of God, providing
it was strictly in accordance with their own.
They desire to adhere to the Church because
they cannot rid themselves of the conviction
that it is the power of God unto salvation,
but they would like it's doctrines and ways
more in conformity with those of the world,
that every species of friction that causes dis
comfort and temporal disadvantage might be
avoided. In fact, they are conservative
Mormons-another term for mon who, if the
Church of Christ were manipulated by them,
would doubtless adopt policy of giving up
religious rights piecsmeal, until every
feature between the
Saints and the world would dis
appear, and they wcnld be loved
all over the earth because they would be
swallowed up by the world which loves its
own. It would result In another universal
apostasy similar to that which took place
shortly subsequent to the time of Christs
earthly mission. But, coming back to the
starting point, all anticipations and predie-
tions regarding the reception of revelations
to the Church are necessarily premature. The
faithful who seek to know and do the will
of God will not be shaken of purpose, neither
will they abandon their religious principles
in whole or in part under any kind of pres
sure whatever
This is significant. It may be that the
leaders of the Saints, who have shown that
they not eager to suffer martyrdom, will
become convinced that it is the will of God
that polygamy be abandoned. Their desire
to obtain State constitution may have an
influence toward such a conviction.

Down among the orchestra people sat a
pale, sad man. His apparent lonesomeness
interested US deeply. We could not imagine
what he was there for. Every once in a
while he would get up and leave the orches-
ira and dive down under the stage and ap-
pear behind the scenes, where We could catch
glimpses of him practicing with pair of
thirty pound dumb-bells and testing spi-
rolneter Then he would come back and re-
occupy his old seat among the orchestra, and
looked paler and sadder than ever What a
strange, mysterious being was he9 Why did

The prohibitory law of Iowa has been de-

that any citizen has the right to enjoin any

claimed can shut them up, even in cities
where the prohibition spirit is weak. But it
will probably continue to be possible to OBJ

Members of colored Baptist church at
Baltimore charged the pastor with having alb
seconded with funds belonging to the congre-
cation. Upon his return he reminded them
| that they had never entrusted him with more
than six dollars at time, intended as fort
nightly instal1ment of his salary, and then
crushed his adversaries by asking someone
to explain how he could support himself and
run away upon such an amount.
If all the Republicans who are obliged to
leave the Offices they have held leave their

rent fiscal year $78, 500, 900 has been collect
ed. The cost of collection is $4O0, 900 per
annum less than the appropriation made by
Congress, and about that much less than the
expense incurred during the last fiscal year.
Mr.. Evans recommended to Congress the
reduction of the appropriation for his
department of $500, 900, and this reduction
might have been greater but for a margin
| for contingencies. The vast stamp account
covering about $425, ,0OO, 900, balanced to .
cent. The work of the Office is as nearly up
to date as it is ever likely 10 be. Mr.. Evans
turns over to his successor stamps of the
value of about $57, 100000.

cost him his seat in the Senate, is worth

Washington Letter to Augusta Chronicle.l
About four years ago was much impressed
by-a young fellow named George McCleilan,
who was the brightest of pages. He worked
hard all day, did extra jobs for congressman
and attended night school. He was the sole
support of his parents and sisters, and never
did a good, smart, ambitious lad more will
lingly and unselfshly undertake that labor
of love and duty. He attracted the atten-
ton of the warm-hearted, eccentric Gabriel
Bouck, then member from Wisconsin, who
offered to take him to Oshkosh and train him
to the law. The other day 1 met George Nc
Clellan, now a handsome, bright-eyed, intel
li1ent man, who had come to Washington,
not to seek office, but to remove his family
to western home, which he had earned for
them. God has blessed and will continue to
bless this noble youth who, in honoring his
father and mother, has honored him. Great
men are moulded out of such boys, and if
life be spared me ten years longer 1 expect to
read some of the speeches of Hon. George
Mcclellan, of Wisconsin, who, the then Con-
gressional directory will state, rose from pow
erty to deserved wealth and distinction.

cURA GERMANY. IND SUGAR.

Nnch discussion ABOUT the value of Cuba to
Germany, and the supposed desire of the Ger
man Government to acquire that island, has
zone ON without due regard to the industrial
interests likely to be affected by such an ar
rangement. The German Empire has revolu-
tionized the sugar industry of the whole world
within the past few years by its bounties Tor
the announcement of the production OF beet
sugar. The Government has paid heavily for
this purpose, year after year, and the people OF
Germany have borne the tax, not perhaps with
out some grudging, but of late with increasing
satisfaction since the enormous production Oh
sugar in Germany has operated TO depress
nrces throughout the civilized world. In this
way the German policy has nearly ruined the
sugar estates of Cuba, so that the island may
he said TO be worth many millions less than 1t
was worth short time ago. But the posses
sion of Cuba as a part of German territory
would tend strongly to break down and de-
stroy the beet sugar industry, which Germany
has built up with such care and at such COST
II would be difficult for Germany to adhere to
a policy calculated TO make the Cuban estates
worthless, and at the same time 1t could hardly
admit free of duty the sugar produced in Cuba
without Frustrating the beet sugar industry
and inAicting a tremendous loss upon those
who have been induced by the policy OF the
Government to engage therein.
But the United States, if in control of Cuba
il has been argued, would wholly revolutionize
that country The application of American en-
terprise, capital and inventive genius to the
production of sugar, and to the other industries
of the island would, it is reasoned, result in an
enormous expansion of its industries and in
crease of its wealth. Thus, it is said, the
United States would come to be the chief rival
of Germany in the production of sugar. But
il is to be remembered that, under our Govern
ment and laws, labor can never long be OBJ
tanned as cheaply as it Is now in Cuba. No is
il likely that the control of the island by people
of this country would fail to bring about a
complete change in the methods of industry
and in the habits of the working people.
Americans would come in, of all races and
colors and occupations, and would bring with
them their home customs and their ideas of the
value Of labor. Hence it is likely that the
value of Cuba to this country, as well as to
Germany, has been considerably affected within
the past few years by the revolution in the
sugar business. If Germany persists III its
policy and finally succeeds, the price of sugar
throughout the civilized world is likely to be
materially affected, though it would doubtless
be unreasonable to suppose that it would re-
main permanently as low as it has been during
the past year.
