The new dominion. [volume] (Morgantown, W. Va.) 1876-1904, 1885-07-11

The enforcement of the Edmunds
law in Utah is having a decided ten
dency to "rattle' the polygamous
Mormons of that territory. AS re-
suit of the late enforcement of this
law a large number of this particu-
lar branch of the Church has moved
to Mexico. At this new abode it is
hoped by them to start again their
particular branch of the Church.
Their exodus is quite acceptable to
the people of the United States, but
it is presumed not so to the people of
Mexico. For they are decidedly
Roman Catholic and the latter is one
of the most formidable enemies of
the Mormons on the Continent.
Hence it is not probable that the
Mormons will be welcomed in Mex
leo. 1t looks very much like they
have just been jumping out of the
frying pan into the fire.

We have endeavOred to be per-
fectly frank with our readers in re-
gard to our railroad prospects. We
have held out no hopes as to the
time when the F. NJ. d p. road would
de completed, that we did not believe
to be well founded, and were not
based upon the most trustworthy
information available. We have
steadily maintained that it was the
purpose of the company to finish
the road at the earliest practicable
time. We still believe that this is
the purpose of the company. At
the same time our expectations in
regard to the force employed, and
the degree of dispatch that would
be displayed in the enterprise have
not been, and are not being, real
lied
1t is palpable fact to the most
sanguine observer that from the
retirement of Mr.. Clements the work
has Jagged, the original energy has
waned, the push and speed with
which the work was being conduct
ed have given place to an easy go
ING deliberateness that has seemed
to say "we win finish it at our con
venience.
Mr. Clements had hearty inter
est in the enterprise. 1t was his
pet. He originated it. He had a
high appreciation of the advantages
it would bring to the b. d O. sys-
TEN. He was impatient of any de-
lay. His determination was to have
the cars running last Christmas.
He was only defeated in his plans
by obstacles that could not be over
come at the Buffalo bridge. If he
had remained at the head of the en-
terprise that bridge would now be
completed, and the track laid a good
part of the way to Morgantown.
We have lost more in the retire
ment of Mr.. Clements than we
know We owe to his energy in the
beginning all the prospect we now
have of road. Had he not finish
ed it to such a point that it could
not be abandoned, it would be years
before the road would now be com
pleted.
AS it is the company is simply
using what force and means it can
conveniently spare in finishing the
work. They are not going to quit
They can't afford to postpone it.
They expect to have the ears run
ming to Morgantown next fall. The
iron bridge is being put on the piers
at Buffalo The ballast is on the
road or ready to be put on for con
siderable distance But there is
much work to be done yet. There
are numerous small bridges ON the
route There are numerous fills to
| be made, and the road bed must be
leveled over its entire length. I'm.
less there is new burst of energy
we fear the winter will put another
check on the work before the cars
are running to Morgantown.

The New York Euening Post says:
s'The colored people of Texas OBJ
serve the 10Th of June as Enamel
patton Day Last month was the
first time they ever celebrated the
anniversary under Democratic
President, and in view of the Blaine
prophesies of last fall that change
of administration would mean the
virtual e-enslavement of the blacks,
Northern people will be interested
to learn how the day passed off in
the State which gives the largest
Democratic majority of any in the
Union. Reports to the Galveston
NeacS from a score of different
points agree in representing that the
celebration was on more general
scale than ever before. A most sig
nifcant and encouraging feature of
the observance was the cooperation
of the whites in many places.
Thus we read at Wharton, Quite a
number of whites were in attend
ance, and were loud in their praise
of the splendid barbecue and of the
pleasant and harmonious manner in
which the celebration was conduct
ed At Hillsboro the colored peo-
pie were addressed by two promi-
nent white citizens, as well as by
several speakers of their own race.
At Corcicana fully 1900 people were
present at the fair grounds, where
speeches were made by prominent
citizens of both colors. At Burton
the colored people spread a sumptu-
Gus banquet, and cordially extended
an invitation to their pale face
friends to partake of the feast, Of
fering separate accommodations to
them. TO appreciate how much
this state of things means and what
progress in harmony between the
races it shows, one must remember
that only few years ago it would
have been impossible to get white
man in Texas to address cOlored
audience on Emancipation Day,
while a proposition to accept a
'sumptuous banquet at Niger
celebration would have been spurn-
ed with contempt Like many other
recent developments in the South,
this news from Texas shows that
the race problem is working itself
out satisfactorily, and that it is nc
longer necessary for the North to
elect war horses to office in order
to make sure that the negroes shall
be protected from oppression"

The civilized people of the United
States and it may be said the world
are shocked at the lawlessness now
existing in eastern Kentucky. As
sassination, robbery and all manner
of crimes that are Of the darkest hue
are every day occurrences. The en-
forcement of law that is common
thing in civilized districts is com
pletely unknown in that region. The
authorities, If they are any better
than those who it is suspected are
actually guilty of committing the
crimes, have not the back bone or
courage to enforce the law. The
Governor of the State has ordered
troops into that section. He proposes
to wipe out of existence those gangs
of marauders and murderers who are
a disgrace to any civilized country.

Tux Express is getting warmed up to

question and publishes the wording of
the contract between that company and
the city. which says the city shall have
the privilege to buy the works at the
end Of % years. Whereupon the EX-
press concludes that "if the company
does not see fit to sell to the city and
we must wait for sewers until they can
be purchased, the cemeteries might ms
well be enlarged at once The Express
would therefore have the people be
plundered, and the city pay three and

would not have the interest ofthe city ut

to pour into the Golfers Of rich corpora
ton money they have not earned and
should not possess. Because the water
question has not been agltated before, is
no reason why 1t should not be now, es'
pecially when the figures show that the
city could save thousands Of dollars in
principal and interest by the establish
ment Of its own system.

The cotton season has been one Of
considerable surprise, In this, that the
old-time centers are being distanced in
the way of receipts, by small interior
towns. Even Dallas is being much
worried at the way Waco has got away
with the greatest share In that section.
The Democrats in Ohio encouraged
the Prohibitlonists, in the hope that
they would draw strength from the
Republicans, but it seems that some of
the rank and file Of that party thought
1t was all in earnest, and the result was
that the Democrats, as usual, got left in
the matter.

THE Carson MINT.
Efforts TO be Made 10 secure Its Re-
0penfng.

Saturday evening an adjourned meet
ing Of the citizens of Carson was held
to take action on the closing OF the
Mint. The committee appointed at
previous meeting, through its chairman,
III. s. Mason. made an able and com.
prehensive report. in which 1T was
shown that the Mint had coined $lO,-
l63, 345 in gold, and $l3,SlS,00O in
silver, besides large amount OF SUBJ
sidiary silver coins. The total expenses
of the Mint for the last eight years
have been 81, 1853, 500 81, and the total
earnings for the same time have been
81, l49, 693 Oh, showing cost IN excess
of gains of 50, 276 80, due entirely to
the suspension of silver coinage TOR
eleven months in the years 1880, 1881
aud 1882. In 1888, 1884 and 1885 the
earnings were $50, 2S4 in excess OF the
expenses.
The report alleges, and quotes law in
support Of the allegation, that the sus-
pension Of the Mint is reversal OF the
policy of Congress, and a us"rpation OF
power by those whose duty 1t 10 to
operate it. 1t shows by the Revised
Statutes that every citizen OF Nevada
has the right, absolute and unqualified,
to have at the Carson Mint his bullion
cast into bars, to receive such sbars or
the money for them at his option; to
exchange impaired bars for fine bars,
and to have his gold bullion coined,
but, by the closing Of the Mint, these
rights are denied the people.
In view of these and other facts sci
forth, the committee recommended the
collecting OF facts touching the opera
tions of the Mat; the necessity Of keep
ing it open; menorializing. the President
and Congress, and instituting So CHI legsl
proceedings as may be found necessary
and expedient 10 compel the recognitiof
OF our tights. the committee also rec
commended that steps be taken to Sc
cure the corporation of other portions
OF the State, and especially OF The
Silver Association, Miners Unions and
other labor organizations IN the State.
