PAUPERIsM's INCREASE.
r. f. Trevenick. a pioneer labor or
ganizer, delivered an address on Pau
perism,V which was received with en-
thusiasm. He stated that the increase OF
crime and pauperism in the United states
was more rapid than in any country IN
Europe, not excepting Italy. So-called
statesmen, when asked the cause or sucn
increase, assumed that pauperlsm was
imported from Europe. This was not 80,

THE REVELATION.

When the doctrine Of plural marriage
was first revealed TO Joseph Smith, its ac-
ceptance, by even leading Mormons, was
a severe trial, and only adopted in con-
sideration Of its being Divine command,
which meant damnation il disObeyed. The
present crusade will convince the people
that there Is something more in p0lygamy
than was supposed. The document in
d0rses the course of those who have gone
to prison rather than sacrifice their prin-
ciples, eXhorts people to be firm in their
efforts to maintain their principles, and
refers bitterly to the growth OF vice through
on-Mormon influence.

PLURAL MARRIAGE.

1t repudIates the popular idea that plu-
raj marriage is preached outside of the
Mormon community unless in compulsory
defense OF the principle. The practice Of
polygamy is limited, even among the
Mormon people. Those above reproach in
their lives only are allowed TO enter it,
The idea that plural marriage is men,
ace to the general monOgamlc system is
without foundation. The ignorance OF
the people of the nation concern
ing the Mormon people and
their doctrine is taken advantage
of, and the world is deceived regarding
the motive for espousing plural mar

WASHINGTON, Jan. 1.-THE director
OF the mint is engaged in the prepare
ton of his report on the production OF
gold and silver in the United States
during the calendar year 1884. From re-
turns made from the mints and assay
offices, it appears, he says, that, con-
trary 10 his own expectations and gen.
eral opinion, n greater amount of gold
was obtained from the mines in 1894
than the previous year. The report from
the mints and assay offices OF
deposits of gold and silver which
he caused to be verified by accounts
show that during the calendar year
they received of gold Of domestic pro-
duc,ion S3O,se7, 1869, nearly $500 more
than the previous year, while the de-
posits of foreign gold bullion were sll,'

More for Galveston, Less for Eads.

WASHINGTON, Jan. N.-The commit
tee on rivers and harbors to-day recon-
sidered it's recommendations, agreed
upon yesterday, for the proposed inn
proyement Of Galveston harhor. The
appropriation for the beginning OF the
work was increased from $50O,OOO to
$75O,OOO, and the salary of Capt. Eads
reduced to $4,000 yearly, and 49, c0 for
each foot of water obtained. The
city authorities ofGalvestOn telegraphed
that it would give $4,000 for each foot
obtained, in addition to the compensa-
ton proposed by the committee. With
this understanding Capt. Eads will
agree to undertake the work. The COM
mittee, in its recommendations, pro-
vides that Capt. Eads shall have the
same control over the improvement OF
the harbor as that commission has oyer
the improvement of the Mississippi
river.
