DR.. Parers FRS, Sermon az a Bishop

The Right Rev. VIM. Paret delivered his
first seImon, since his conservation as
Bishop Of Maryland, at Trinity Church,
Marlboro, Nd, on Sunday There was
large congregation in attendance, the
church being filed to its utmost capacity.
The Bishop gave as the reason for holding
his first services there the fact that II Is the
congregation Of the Rev. DIR. levin, who, as
president Of the standing committee Of the
church, has been the head of the church In
this diocese since the death Of Bishop
Pinkney, aud who, he stated, has con-
Quoted the affairs Of the church with so
much earnestness, faithfulness and ability.
He also stated that II was most appropriate
that his first services should be held In
Marlboro, as it was the first parish Of
Bishop Caggett, the first Maryland bishop.
The congregation were highly pleased with
the sermon Of the Bishop and the merited
compliment paid their pastor, DIR. levin.

Moody, the Revivaliss, in Richm ond.

RICHMOND, Jan. II. The meetings held
here during last week by d. L. Moody, the
revivalist, have been largely attended. At
most Of them hundreds of persons were un-
able to get in the hall. SO great has been
the desire to hear Mr.. Moody that many
persons remained in the building from one
meeting to another, afraid to leave the hall
lest they should be unable to gain admit
lance upon their return. Some brought
their lunches with them. Mrs. Stonewall
jackson who is visiting here with her daugh-
ter, has attended several of Mr.. Moody's
meetings and manifested much interest
in his success here. Mr.. Moody's services
will close Wednesday next. His success
has been unprecedented

Pa, yesterday, the Baltimore g. Ohio began
laying temporary extension Of their track
for the purpose of ciroumv venting the Char
tiers extension of the Pittsburgh, Cincin-

A WISE SUGGESTION.

At the neutrality-suspicious. Getting
that the City Council held, Apostle Heber
j. Grant made most wise suggestion.
After having moved that the Council de-
clare that there was no foundation for the
rumors afloat, he suggested that the
Twelve Apostles now in this city tele-
graph the President that they were not
melting any disturbance whatever. The
suggestion is really amusing, and should
have been supplemented by saying that
the Twelve Apostles were counseling
obedience to the Edmunds law and dis
couraging the preaching and practicing Of
polygamy. Or, better still, the Twelve
Apostles should telegraph The President
what we once heard a Probate Judge Of
this Territory say in jest ut the time
the Petition and Protest were sent
10 the President. He said, "Why don't
they deny that polygamy exists in Utah
or that it ever did?"
We think with Mr.. Grant that the
Twelve Apostles are not melting to any
special disturbance. But thus far only
can we go with him in the matter. That
which is disturbing the Territory is the
enforcement Of the Ednunds law, and
the enforcement of the Edmunds law
means the suppression OF polygamy.
Now, what does the suppression OF polyg-
amy mean? IL means the disturbance
Ur a,,t al 81 ,Nfi 1,
Twelve Apostles, and discontinuance
OF the practices which they and their fol-
lowers advocate and preach When this
doctrine which they advocate and preach
is put in practice IT becomes u crime,
punishable by fine and imprisonment.
Ii the Twelve Apostles, OF whom Mr..
Grant is one, would but advise their fol-
lowers to obey the laws of the land there
would be almost total cessation OF
rumors. For the Twelve Apostles TO
telegraph the President that they are not
melting any disturbance when at the
same time they countenancc and cncour-
age the violation OF valid law of Con-
grcss, would be presumption in the
extreme. The suggestion OF Mr.. Grant
implies that the Twelve Apostles are an
independent power. They are TO tele-
graph as the authorities OF a church and
not as citizens of the commonwealth. So
long as they and their followers persist
in violating the laws OF the Government
there will always be rumors afloat, and
while the rumors will in all likelihood be
an exaggeration upon the facts, still
the excited condition of the public mind
will always give some credence to such
rumors, because these rumors have more
or less foundation. OF an organized out
break we do not believe there is any
danger in Utah, or ever has been, but the
danger is that any extraordinary event
may precipitate riot. What proper
tions such riot might assume it is
impossible to say considering the temper
Of all parties. Here is the danger, and
il is this that is to be avoided. Our City
Council, we are sorry to say, seem to have
no conception whatever OF the situation,
and their official investigation of the
rumors shows their utter incompetency
for preserving peace in case of any dis
turbance. The public have no confidence
in the City Council because the City
Council has never acted in a manner
TO beget confidence.

RoAcH,s vINDICArIoN.


1t has been claimed by the friends of
John Roach that the final acceptance of
the dolphin" by Secretary Whitney was
complete vindication for Roach. 1t was
no such thing. II it was anything, it
was wrong committed by Mr.. Whitney.
The boat in no way came up to the speci-
fications and contract, and can never be
made to. Roach may have
had some grounds of complaint
against the Advisory Board, and
this seems to be the opinion Of Mr.. Whit
ney, as long delays took place in settling
details after the contract was entered
into. For such delays Roach could not
be blamed, and the censure here clearly
belongs to the Advisory Board The
Board seem to have been about as COM
petent as Roach, and the result Of their
combined talents was the dolphin" :"
that now historic boat that has never
been in action. OF the dolphin" Secre-
tary Whitney speaks in this language:
The Dolphin as she now is, should be re-
garded as pleasure boat rather than dis
patch boat. The absence of the most ordi-
nary and approved devices for protection
against hostile fire in her design take her
out of the category of war vessels. The
use, for instance, of vertical engines, expos
ing her machinery above the water line
without nrmor protection, is far from being
good practice at this time. In fact, she
does not bear favorable comparison with
similar vessels built at the same time by
other countries.
This is not complimentary to the Amer
lean navy nor is it vindication of Roach.
To say that dispatch boat is more like
pleasure boat than anything else is not
TO say much for such boat
The report OF the Secretary is in no
way satisfactory and assuring to the
country, while it shows that immense
sums have been squandered. Take the
case of the "Omaha," for instance.
Within the last four years she has been
rebuilt ut an expense of $572,000. The
Secretary estimates her worth in this
way: "In the event OF war she could
neither fight nor run away from any
cruiser built contemporaneously by an.
other nation" Yet the case of rebuild
ing OF the "Omaha" would have given
the Government iirst-class steel ship o
her size. Truly the American navy is
not the greatest in the world.
