Power of Congress over Polygamy.


That Congress has the constitutional
power to deal with polygamy is a fact
that seems to be recognised by everybody
but polygamists. They have questioned
the power at various times in the courts.
but only with the result of seeing it
reaffirmed. The latest dispute of this
kind was as to the right Of Congress to
disqualify polygamists from voting or
holding Office in the Territory OF Utah as
is done by the Edmunds law passf, d in
1882. In an opinion handed dow YES
terday the United States Supreme Court
holds that while the personal and civil
rights OF the Inhabitants of the Terri
tories are secured to them as to all other
citizens by The principles of con-
stitutional liberty, "their POLITICAL
rights are franchises which they hold as
privileges in the legitimate discretion
OF Congress" That body, the Court
adds, has the undcubted right to deter
mine the form Of the local government in
any Territory, and the qualifications of
those who shall administer it. ssIt rests
with Congress to say whether in a given
case any Of the people resident in the
Territory shall participate in the election
OF its officers Or in the making of its laws;
and 1t may therefore take from them any
right OF suffrage it may previously have
conferred, or any time modify or abridge
1t as 1t may deem expedient." This ex-
position OF the law is not new, but il NAV
nevertheless have salutary effect on the
average Utah mind-New York Herald.

Montmartre that revolution and anarchy
come in Paris, while coupS d etdt and
monarchy come from Faubourg du st.
Honore.
As leaders of the people and the Com
munards there are Clemenceau and
Rochefort, while the champion OF Bona
partisan is Paul de Cassagnac. These
men are able, active and hostile.
Should these prove unequal to the
task of making the government anxious
and Of doubtful stability, there are
the Legitimatists and the Orleanists, and
these claimants have been made unduly
hostile through the deprivation OF their
commissions in the army, and the ig-
nominy which has been put upon them.
The telegrams of yesterday say that
when Jules Ferry announced the decision
of the Cabinet he was loudly hissed by
deputies, and that Clemenceau fairly
screamed TRAITORS" In most countries
such things usually mean riot, perhaps
a serious riot, but in France they mean a
revolution and the military.
Themost serious demonstrations were
in front of the Chamber of Deputies, al
though they were not hostile in character,
they were very significant; and when it is
remembered that the Chamber OF Depu-
ties is Just across the Seine and facing
Place de la Concorde, there will involun-
tarily come to the memory the infamous
scenes OF blood and brutality which were
witnessed in this same Place during the
French Revolution. 1t was here that be-
tween the 21st OF January, 1898, and the
Sd of May. 1895, more than twenty-eight
hundred persons were guillotined. 1t was
OF Place de la Concenle that Chateau
BRAND said that all The water in the world
could not wash away its blood stains.
Among the more famous persons who
suffered death here, were Charlotte Cor
day, Marie Antoinnette; Elizabeth, sister
Of Louis XVI; here suffered a just death
Danton and Robespriere, and others
whose names lend to the Reign OF Terror
the glares OF hell.
This Place has been q celebrated
camping ground for the enemies Of
France, the Allies having been here and
in the Champs Elysees, which are ad-
joining, in 1914; and so late as 1871 the
Prussian troops bivoucked here and in
the Champs Elysees, while in May of II
the Place was the scene OF the most des-
perate conflicts between the troops of
Versailles and the Communards. In the
center of Place de la Concorde, stands the
Obelisk of Luxor, this same obelisk hav-
ing seen all the worlds changes for four
teen hundred years before Christ,
and has never been harmed by any of
the conflicts which have ragged around it
since it stood in its present position.
If NJ. Waddington prove a man equal
to the critical juncture at which affairs
have arrived, all will be well and good
but if not, let the Republic beware.
France gained but little prestige in her
Tunisian venture, but she made of Italy a
mortal enemy, and Italy to-day is no
petty power. Perhaps France can re-
trieve in Chinese waters what she has
lost in European lands, but the rout at
Langson even makes this a thing of
doubt. But France will doubtless show
herself more worthy of her past than may
be thought; and we must not forget that
Cherbourg rivals Portsmouth.

FRENCH AFFAIRS.

The news from Paris and the state Of
excitement consequent upon the defeat Of
the French at Langson fully justifies the
apprehensions of many that France is on
the verge Of one of her numerous revolu-
tons; and when we remember thatit is as
natural for a Frenchman TO revolutionize
as ii is for him to economise, and that we
to-day see the overthrow OF the Ferry
ministry, although it is not very probable
that the various factions of monarchists
will undertake any policy other than that
of goading the government, and waiting
their opportunity. 1t is from Faubourg

The First Fly Fisher.

The first and indeed the only writer
amongst the ancients, SO far as we
know, who makes mention of fishing
with the artificial fly is Aelanus, who
lived in the third century. In the fif-
teenth book of his history he says: The
Macedonians. who live on the banks of
the River Astraus, which flows midway
between Bereo and Thessalonia, are in
the habit of catching a particular fish
in that river by means of a fly called
hippurus; very singular insect it is
bold and troublesome like all its kind,
in size hornet, marked like a wasp,
and buzzing like a bee" From his ac-
count of these fish they must have been
trout. and he exactly describes the
method in which trout feeds at pres
ent, "when one of them sees the fly
floating down to him, he approaches,
swimming gently under the water, fear
ing to move the surface lest the prey
should be scared. Then drawing near
er underneath, he sucks the fly, as
wolf snatches sheep from the fold, or
an eagle goose from the farm-yard,
and having done so disappears under
the ripple"

The Misunderstanding Telephone Girl,

The telephone girl was sleepy until
her beau rang up, when she suddenly
became conscious of all that was going
on about her. She was anxious to pac-
ify all the anger he bad felt at having
been led to believe her worse than she
is, so she answered him promptly. and
after full explanation her lover said:
"Well, I'm glad to hear it, Eva.
Forgive me those hard words spoke to
you and kiss me-"
"All right, dear. One, two. three,
smack"
The kisses passed simultaneously. and
just then an old German whom she had
forgotten to cut off before answering
her beau, shouted:
''Dere! vas heard all about dot,

The girl disconnected him long enough
to tell her lover to do he kissing. then
restored him and replied:
"All right, YOU old darling, now

hearty smack and Fred responded to it
and haw-hawed right into the old fel-

Roller Skating.

One OF the most fascinating sports OF
the present day is one which has been
known for years, but has only recently
become adopted as popular pastime
A few years ago only little boys and
girls could be found with roller skates
on their feet, some dodging between the
parlor furniture, to the great danger of
their own bones, and all perishable ar
ticles in the room, and occasionally VEN
turing out on the sidewalk. Now there
are large rinks built with smooth floors
especially adapted to roller skates, and
they are patronized daily and nightly
by hundreds of pleasure-Aekers.
There are, of course, several reasons
for this change in the course of events,
one of which is no doubt the great
change in the manner in which roller
skates are constructed. In their earlier
days there was only single set Of roll
ers or wheels in the middle of the sole
and it was quite difficult to stand on the
ticklish support they supplied. Now
there is double set Of rollers, one at
each side. and it is almost as easy to

Guarding Against Diphtheria.

l. If one is subject to catarrh, or in
fammatory affections of the throat, es-
pecial care should be paid to the condi-
ton of the general health, and to the
general hygienic surroundings. There
is reason to believe that diphtheria
originates spontaneously in such per-
sons when the system is debilitated
from any cause.
2. During the existence of diphthe-
ria avoid crowded gatherings in badly
ventilated rooms, as in theaters, public
halls, and even churches. This is of
special Importance during cold wealth
er.
8. Secure thorough ventilation and
perfect cleanliness of nurseries. kinder
gartens, schooi-rooms and other places
where children are cared for. Parents
should make it their personal business
TO secure these in the home and nurs-
cry, and to see th'.t those in charge of
schools, ETC., are also mindful of these
important matters. Children are more
subject to diphtheria than adults, and
the disease is more fatal with them;
hence the necessity for these precau-
tions on their behalf

He Really Was Surprised.

When some high-salaricd official re-
signs to accept fatter salary on some
other road the men under him, from
wipers to engineers, or from brakemen
to train dispatchers, or from chainmen
to engineers. must chip in their hard
earnings and buy him a set of silver,
gold watch and chain. or some other
article that he does not need perhaps.
There are cases where such presenta-
ton comes deep from the hearts of the
donors, but often the matter is set afoot
by some ambitious underlings who do
it not from pure friendship, but with
the selfish motive of bettering their
own prospects. A great many thought
full officials have set their foot down on
the foolish custom, regarding it in the
light that acceptance would be likely to
place them under obligation to certain
employees whom they NAV be compelled
to discipline in the future. A few days
ago a prominent official Of this city en-
tertaining these views left the city on
an intended tour, and several of his
subOrdinates went down to the Union
depot to see him off. As he stood on
the steps of his car they arranged them
selves in a hollow square. and there
was an awkward pause. Then one Of
the number advanced with package
and began to speak. The official
frowned and held up his hand in a de-
precatory gesture. The spokesman
was brief. and wishing his chief pleas
ant trip and assuring him of the fidelity
and good wishes of all his men. he pre-
sented as a token of regard '.this bou-
quet." 1t was amusing to observe how
quickly the general managers face
cleared up. 1t is safe to assert that he
would have refused to accept the con-
ventional gold watch, or silver set or
cane, but he eagerly reached for the
bouquet and was more proud of it than
a boy of his first boots. Cleveland

FRENCH sPOLIATIONs.

In the Revolutionary war, when France
was so generous to the United States, the
latter undertook to guarantee to her the
security of her power in the West Indies,
as a sort Of reciprocity Of benevolence
But the guarantee was not worth any
thing because the American government
had not the naval force to make it good.
1t was soon abandoned BY this govern
ment, and declaration Of neutrality be-
tween England and France was substituted.
This was violation Of contract between
nations. The losses in merchant vessels
during the naval warfare between France
and England were great; and, when there
was a subsequent settlement between
France and our government, these losses
were turned over to US as our legitimate
debt, according to contract.
That was a long time ago. Congress
after congress, through two generations of
men, has been appealed to for payment Of
this debt in vain. This is what every
body has heard Of as the French Spolia-
tions" since he was . boy. The original
claimants and their children, and perhaps
most of their grandchildren, have died
since the debt began to run. 1t would be
a shocking debt, if paid with interest.
But the United States has finally de-
cided to pay the principal, at least The
bill for that purpose was passed by this
congress on the l4th instant. Though
the claims are mostly in the hands Of
spectators, bought for a song, yet the
court of claims is authorized to adiudicate
them and report them for payment. We
suppose this is business, but it feels like
robbery.

troops landed in Egypt and no Turkish
occupation of any portion Of its territory.
