2 The Governor OF Virginia yesterday
sent his message to the Legislature of
that State. He says the amount of the
State debt outstanding {other than Rid
dleberger bonds), principal and interest
to October LIST, 1888, is $50, 752, 232. The
Governor recommends purging of the
election laws by the passage of an act
making it mandatory that judges of
elections shall be chosen from both po-
litical parties and that the representa-
tives of fopposing candidates shall be pres
ent when the votes are counted. The
Senate of Virginia yesterday adopted a
joint resolution insCructing the Virginia
Senators and Representatives in Con-
gress to vote for the Blair Education
al bill, or any better measure, having
for its object to secure to the people Of
Virginia, and in. common with other
States, an appropriation for the benefit
OF the public school system from the
surplus revenues of the Federal Govern
ment."

THE sending OF troops to Utah is an
indication thai there is to be no fool
ing with the Mormon Polygamists.
The move is no doabs a precautionary
one, but still there is nothing like keep
ing the powder dry. The Mormons
will hardly be 30 foolish as to attack
United States troops, but if they do,
they will find, the American people
quite ready to accept the gage of bat
tie. The time has come when the Nor.
mons must settle down and be like
other people or they will have to go
and that is all there is of 1t.
