1t will be good news to every good
citizen of the United States that John
Taylor, the head of the Mormon
Church, and Cannon and Joseph
Smith, two of his trusted counselors
have secretIy.left Utah for parts un-
known. The immediate cause of the
Generalization of these lights of the
church was a summons to appear be-
fore the United States circuit court.
1t is now evident that firmness and
decision are the only things needed
in our federal officers to abolish the
Mormon iniquity. President Arthur
last fall appointed Charles s. Zane
Judge Of the district court in Utah.
Since then, under the Edmunds law,
the grand juries have been purged of
Mormons and polygamIsts and three
of the Mormon bishops have been
convicted and sentenced. Other pros
ecutions have been instituted and on
summons to appear before the courts
and testify in these cases the heads of
the church have deemed it more pru-
dent to escape to parts unknown than
to appear before a firm, courageous
and impartial judge. Judge Zane is
evidently the right man in the right
place, and the whole country can be
congratulated on having found a man
who dares to take hold of the Nor
mon question without gloves. 1.-THE
law continues to be enforced by
Judge Zane the Mormons will soon
be glad to leave for Mexico, or some
other foreign State, and no longer be
blot upon our national good name.
1t is to be hoped that, whatever else
President Cleveland may do, he will
make no change in the United States
officers at Utah until the territory is
thoroughly purged of the polyga-
NOUS ,M0rmons.

From the gentleman who gave this
information tonight there comes al
so bit of secret history regarding
the French interdict against Ameri-
can pork. That interdict was sus-
pended for about two weeks at one
time last fall. No one could under
stand why. 1t is stated that during
the suspension French agent and a
half dozen subordinates in this city
were busily engaged in buying pork
for the French army in Tonquin. AS
soon as they had all the pork they
wanted the interdict was again put
in force,

that there is springing UP among our
border aborigines a strong desire for
education. realizing as they now do
the great advantages it would give
them in their future dealings with
the whites that involve the obser-
vance of treaties and the payment by
the Government of the sums of mon

then, with no little anxiety for the

The Edmunds resolution calling
the attention of our Government to
the situation in Central America,
which the Senate adopted almost
unanimously, is more outspOken in
its terms than Secretary Bayard's let
ter, though the spirit of the two doc.
uments is essentially the same. In
the Senate resolution, however,
stress is laid on the fact that Nicara-
que has already ratified treaty
granting this country a strip of terri
tory for a canal, and that the United
States is considering the subject also.
and that, therefore, theirs is a certain
moral obligation laid upon us to de-
fend the canal against danger from
uSurpation while negotiations he
tween the two countries interested in
the canal are pending. Secretary
Bayard, on the other hand, takes
pains to declare that we are under
obligations to protect the autonomy
of any of the Central American
states, though we will not counte-
nance any attempt to override their
liberties. But the purport of the
two declarations is the same, and
Barrios will no doubt understand
from them that the administration
and the Senate are agreed upon a
policy of resistance to his scheme.

Nominations by the President.

President Cleveland sent to the
Senate on Monday the following
nominations:
To be ENJOYS Extraordinary and
Ministers Plenipotentiary of the
United States. Edward j. Phelps, OF
Vermont. to Great Britain.
Robert N. McLane, of Maryland,
to France.
George H. Pendleton, of Ohio, to
Germany.

Mexico.

E. Benton, Missouri, to be Attorney
of the United States for the Western
District of Missouri.
The Republican. [volume] (Oakland, Md.) 1877-current, 1885-03-28

The acceptance of the mission to
France by Governor McLane will va
cate the gubernatorial office, and
many inquiries have already been
made at this Office as to the manner
in which this vacancy is supplied.
The Constitution provides that
where a governor dies or resigns.
''the legislature, if in session. or if
not, at their next session, shall elect
some other qualified person to be
governor for the residue of the term
for which said governor had been
elected" The Constitution also pro-
vides that where the governor dies
or resigns during the recess of the
legislature "the president of the Sem
ate shall discharge the duties of said
office until governor is elected"
These two provisions make it clear
that the Hon. Henry Lloyd, presi-
dent of the Senate at the last session
of the legislature, and who would be
its president now should the Gov
ernoy call an extra session, will
be acting governor until a governor
is elected by the legislature in Janu-
airy, 1886. 1t will be observed that
the Constitution does not make the
president of the Senate governor. 1t
declares that he shall discharge the
duties of that Office until governor
is elected.-Bdlto. american.

grades, and lower figures for their
common cattle, but the average val
yes show but little variation from

Boston's Impending Doom.

| Amos A. Laurence, of Boston, re-
Gently said that his city had become a
| Sodom and Gomorrah. He is looking
| for its destruction at an early date,
and making preparations to move
here with his family, to dwell here
fter among Gods chosen people. We
Nave been afraid for some to spend
the night in Boston. 1t smelt like a
doomed city to us. and we are glad to
have our suspicious confirmed by such
an authority as Mr. Laurence. Sodom
was not destroyed for its immoralities.
lmmoralities will chastise themselves,
but the people of Sodom grew radical
and agnostic, and established maya
zines to corrupt other people with
their doubts. And they were destroy
ed not so much for the harm they had
done to themselves as the injury they
might do to others. Radicals and ag-
nostics have minds constructed like
the teeth of certain animals; when not
at work upon that which nourished
themselves, they arc at work upon
that which is destructive to Others.
They must gnaw all the time, and
when not mt work on their own doubts,
they exercise their teeth on someone
else's hopes. This is the reason why
it is to be destroyed. 1t would not be
fair to have the faith of the rest of us
upset, simply to make some gentle
men and ladies of Boston feel good
about the influence they exerted upon
inferior mortals.
1t would be good thing to have
Boston destroyed on the day when the
Radical and Agnostc clubs were in
session. After the gentlemen and
ladies had congratulated themselves
on their emancipation from all ancient
error, and had pledged themselves
anew to follow truth like a squash-vine
wherever she may lead, a gentle oatter
of birthstone and fire against the win
dow might change the complacent
talk, to rapid and incoherent repeti-
ton of the Lords prayer. There is
nothing like a little danger to exhaust
the doubts from man in 4 moment.
