Russian Civilization.

Whatever the faults of England, and
they are neither few nor small, it remains
unquestionably true that Anglican pres
tige stands for the best that European
civilization has to offer in all parts of the
globe The English flag has everywhere
been the herald of representative insti-
tutions and the shield of religious and
political freedom. Russia, ON the other
hand, is essentially Asiatic in her theories
and in her methods. Napoleon said, ''if
you scratch a Russian you come upon a
tartar" So it is with Russian civiliza-
ton. Under thin varnish Of conyen-
tional politesse is to be found the most
formidable enemy in existence of repre-
sentative institutions and of social and
religious freedom. Unless religious lib
erty is a fraud and political liberty a
snare and delusion, the further aggran-
disement of Russia a. the expense of
England would be not simply the eleva-
ton of one power and the decline of
another, but the triumph of absolutism
over freedom and the pushing back of
civilization itself.-PrOf. C. K. adams

clothes, and as each anniversary OF their
independence recurs, every citizen who
loves his country should give that day to
the study and contemplation OF those
dangers that our country, as well as all
others, must encounter, and see how they
may best be avoided. The brag and
bluster that were so common on our anni-
versary day some years ago are far less
seemly now than then, and while thank
full for having accomplished our independ-
ence and tided over the dangers of the
past, it is to the future and its dangers
that the Nation should turn its eyes on
the morrow OF the past the country has
but the memory, while in the present
and the future lies its progress or decay,
its life or its death.
Salt Lake evening Democrat. [volume] (Salt Lake City, Utah) 1885-1887, 1885-07-03
WILL THEY RECOGNIZE IT?

The Franklia Democrat, Brookville,
Indiana, of the 25th ult., under the head
of religious jottings has the following:
"Fifty-fiye millions against 2OO, 900 is about
the size of the Mormon question. The 200,
600 are stiff-necked and the 55,000000 de-
termined. 1t will take some years to settle
the matter"
The other religious note has more i'm
mediate concern for the people of Utah.
THE Mormons are Rghast at the unyield-
ing policy of the new Democratic Judge
Powers in Utah, and well they may be, for
President Cleveland told the Judge he in
tended to wipe out polygamy if he did
nothing else;' and he is not the man to look
back after putting his hand to the plow."
How long will it take the people of
Utah TO recognize these two facts that
are quoted from the FrankIin DemOcrats
They are two important facts, two stern
facts, and two facts that sum up the
whole situation. The two hundred thou
sand people of Utah will not obey the
laws of the Government under which they
live, laws that that Government holds
essential to its existence, and the fifty
five million people of the United
States are determined that those laws
shall be enforced. The Chief Executive
of these fifty-fve million people has
said that those particular laws shall be
Salt Lake evening Democrat. [volume] (Salt Lake City, Utah) 1885-1887, 1885-07-03

enforced, and that Executives whole life
has been vindication of his word and
his promise. One might almost para
phrase the teachings of Christ when He
told His followers to be slow to anger, and
say that the religion of the people of Utah
taught them to be slow to recognize
things as they are. 1t would almost
seem that the palmer things become to
common men the blind become more
blinded. The people of Utah see the
storm clouds gathering around them
and they take refuge and find consolation
in the belief that God is causing them to
gather for q wise and benefcent purpose.
They are as ship at sea whose masts are
gone, whose rudder is lost, and every
wayward wind that blows carries them
nearer to the shoals of their destruction.
They claim to be the modern children of
Israel, but in their wanderings in the
Egypt of their present dilemma they
have no cloud to lead them by day, no
pillar of fire by night. They are as
lost sheep whose shepherd is gone.
They claim to lead the way to
heaven, and yet know not what
path to tread on earth. In the wilder
ness they hear no voice calling unto them
and they will hear none. They are as
blind men who wander amid dangers, but
refuse to heed the warnings of those who
see. et
The people Of Utah will see their dan
ger and shun it when they recognize the
facts the Franklin Democrat has so
plainly stated, but not before.

decided success, and had so enjoyable a
time. IL was decided at the last State

pounds, the fight being with five ounce
gloves, London rules. 1t lasted 9 hours

the sponge, badly punished, while Mulvey
appeared unhurt The stakes were $500 a

IN GENT pOSTAL DELIVERY,

Pursuant to a law passed at the last SEES
sion of Congress, after the first OF next DC
tober, by putting on letter in addition to
the ordinary two cent stamp, new ten
cent stamp which the law provides for, the
sender of letter is entitled to have 1t de.
livered Immediately on its arrival at the
postoffice to which 1t Is directed, by special
messenger, within the limits where free
delivery is already established, or within
one mile of post offices where special de-
livery shall be established. That will be
in towns of 1000 Inhabitants or over. The
extra ten cent stamp being in addition to
the regular postage, If that is deficient, the
letter will be treated us in an ordinary case
of insufficient postage, Notwithstanding the
dime stamp. The old.fashioned stamps
must be used for the regular postage, and
the new fashioned for the special delivery
alone. They cannot be interchanged,
The delivery, in cities which already
have the free delivery, is not however by
the present carriers, but by new set
called special messengers" The idea is
expedition, and the ordinary carrier having
often large mail to handle is not sup
posed to be equal to the requirements of
special haste which the new arrangement
contemplates AS all towns of 1000 inhab-
itants or over can have these special mes
sengers, of course Ottawa will claim the
benefit of the new plan for the speedy de-
livery Of letters.

in Ohio named o. r. Munger, of Washing

fame began when he whipped girl who
couldn't pray loud enough to suit him. He
was prosecuted for the assault, but the ju-
ny not being able to agree, he was released.
Then he placed seats in large lot in the
rear of his home, where two thousand per-
sons gather nightly to hear him. His meet
ing last Sunday was advertised by hand
