mon faith and devotion to the Mormon
leaders. 1t was impossible to
know their histories, ii was impossible
to fathom their motives. They were
given food, given shelter, given employ
ment, although seldom trusted. Let
such men be tempted by assured prom
ises and they will swear their crimes up
on others whose lives and hearts con-
trast with theirs as the white snow con-
trasts with the mire it covers. How
many such men are there in Utah !?
Convicted liars, professional thieves,
confessed assassins, trembling perjurers,
who have hung for years upon the out
skirts of the little societies which gath
cred together and built themselves up
amid these mountain Businesses. One
such man has served to accuse and
caused to be Imprisoned several OF your
most honored citizens. Half dozen
such, instigated by cowardice and
avarice, with savage hearts filled with a
lust of rapipe, would crowd every jail in
the Territory.
The Mormon people are judged
abroad, not by their thousands OF deeds
of charity and kindness, but by few
deeds of blood unjustly accredited to
their leaders. You will never hear how
tens of thousands of people have been
brought from famine and hopeless toll
to lives OF peace and plenty, of the thou
sands of passing emigrants who have
been fed and sheltered and succored.
Your antagonist is hydra-headed and
hupdred-armed Whether by bigoted
judges, by packed juries, by partisan
officers. by Puritan missionaries, by
iron limbed laws, by armies from
abroad, or by foes and defections at
home, the assault is continuous and I'M
relenting, though lInprovOked.
Now, in order to preserve the thrift,
the industry, the. wealth, the progress,
the temperance life, the virtues of U tab
from spoliation and devastation and
ruin, in order to save hundred noble
pioneer citizens and this honest, earnest,
illuminated people from outlawry, or
the gibbet, or Incarceration, you must
have State government. Every other
refuge of good men, every other pro-
lection of innocent men is closed in
your faces. A State government means
juries impartially selected from all citi-
zens, and Judges chosen by majority
of the people, and officers of your own
selection; it means honest, economical
govern; it means peace and security,
and exemption from persecution.

A GREAT INDUSTRY.
The Wonders and Extent of the Boot and
Shoe Trade in Massachusetts,.

The Wonders and Extent of the Boot and
Shoe Trade In Massachusetts,.
In 1886 the State of Massachusetts,
made, in round numbers, 16. 600, OOO
pairs of boots and shoes; in 1874, 20,-
100000 in 1852, $4,000. 900: in 1864,
81, 900, 900; in 1874. $4,000, 900; in 1880,
$4,000, 900, and in 1884 (estimated),
over 100000. If this is not prog
ress it would be difficult to say in what
progress consists.
The value of this vast product is es-
timated at Sl20, 00O,O 900; and good au-
thority even places it at the superla-
tive amount of $3.50, 100000. Such is
the pleasant little sum gathered in by
the boot and shoe manufacturers and
merchants of Massachusetts, every
year. In the great production Lynn
ranks first. with an annual business of
nearly $50. 900, 900. Haverhill stands
second, with more than $4,000 900.
Brockton occupies the third place,
with $1,000, 900. Number four on the
list is Marlboro. which does a busi-
ness of 5000, 600. Worcester comes
next, with over 81, 1000, 900; then Wey-
mouth, then Natick, while Boston
stands eighth in the matter of produc-
ton.
New England furnishes more than
two-thirds of the total product of the
country, Massachusetts, the bulk of the
New England product and Essex
County the lions share of the States
business. Lynn is still king IN spite of
all the changes that have occurred in
the trade in the last half century.
The growth of this great industry to
such a stage of Importance is a matter
of fascinating interest TO all classes of
readers. not more to those engaged in
this branch of the trade than to the
wider circle who enjoy the fruits of the
general prosperity in which this bust
ness has been so large factor. Par
ticularly interesting to business men
will be the record OF the past few weeks
and the prospect tor the future. The
bootAand shoe trade, owing to. the ex-
haustion of the stock, has come into a
condition peculiarly sensitive to any
increased demand for goods. and the
figures show that that demand has
been steadily increasing of late. Man
ufacturers who know whereof they
speak are already wele omjng the signs
of the times as indicative of gradual
but sure restoration of confidence and
business activity. If this is true of the
boot and shoe business, it Will also be
true of business in general, and the
facts presented in this direction are
well worth the perusal of all classes of
merchants and business nen.-Bostoas

GENIUS AND, INSANITY.
A Quality Which Often Bears a Likeness
to Eccentricity.

Quality Which Often Bears Likeness
to Eccentricity.
To the multitude of men genius wears
a double aspect Speculative intellec--
tual endowment is plainly something
very unlike the ordinary type of in
telligence. The relation of lofty
superiority includes that of distance,
and mediocrity in viewing the advent
of some new spiritual star may adopt
either the one or the other mnnfere dc
goir. Which aspect it will select for
special contemplation depends On cir
cumstances. In general, it may be
said that, since the recognition of
greatness presupposes power of COM
prehension not always granted medioc-
rity, the fact of distance Isl more likely
to impress than the fact of alti-
tude. 1t is only when supreme wis
dom has justified itself, as in the pre-
dictions of the true prophet that its
essential rightness is seen by the crowd
Otherwise the great man has had to
look for recognition mainly from his
peers and the slightly more numerous
company of those, whose heads rise
above the mists Of contemporary preju-
dice. 1t is easy to see that this vulgar

divergence from common sense views
of things may lead on to condemna-
ton of 1t as thing unnatural and mis-
shapen. For, evidently, such diver
gence bears, superficial likeness to ec-
centricity. Indeed, as has been well
said, the original teacher has this much
in common with the man mentally de-
ranged, that he lis in a minority of
one," and, when pains are not taken
to note the direction of the diver
gence, originality may readily be
COMPOUNDED with the most stupid sim
gularity. And, further, cursory
glance at the constitution of genius
will suffice to show that the originator
of new and startling ideas is very apt
to shock the sense Of common men by
eccentricities in his manner of life. A
man whose soul is being consumed by
the desire to discover some new truth
or to give shape 10 some new artistic
idea is exceedingly liable to fall below
the exactions. of conventional society in
the matter of toilet and other small
businesses of life. Among the many
humorously pathetic incidents in the
records of great men there is perhaps
none more touching than the futile at
tempt of Beethoven to- dress himself
withscrupulous conformity to the Vien-
aese pattern of his day. Nineteenth

IN THE HOUSE OF COMMONS.

The En-. IT Required to Witness the Pro-
ceedings OF the British Parliament
When an American wishes to visit
his servants. the members of Congress,
at their work. he finds no distractions
in his progress, beyond an exceeding
number of stone steps, which are apt
to exhaust his wind. unless he knows
where to find the elevators. He enters
the building from any quarter, without
challenge, and winds from pillar to
post, and from floor to floor. until he
finds himself in the corridors of the
gallery, from which he can step into
the spaces reserved for the public. the
seats thus set apart for his use afford
ing accommodation for about 1000 Wis
itors in the House of Representatives
and 200 in the Senate. Once inside,
he must take his hat off and keep still.
And when the days session is over he
can 90 down stairs and saunter in upon
the floor and st in the Speakers chair
if he chooses, or strike up an acquaint-
ance with the members who linger
around him. or seek miscellaneous in
formation from the clerks and pages.

beauty of Westminster Abbey oppos tie.
The visitor enjoys the scene few mo-
ments and then steers for the principal
entrance. He encounters policeman
at once. Policemen are jnnumerable,
omnipotent and vigilant. Very likely
they were noticing him as he was
standing in idle admiration on the
curbstone. They ask him what he
wants, and he SAYS he wants to go in.
Then they explain in civil but short
sentences that he must find member.
must get pass from him, and must
preSeLt it at a particular door at par
ticular time, and if, after investigation
by detectives, he is reported to be an
inotfens.ve person he can then be ad-
mitted if there is room. Being stran-
ger. he doesn't know any member, and
certainly has no ella m on an any one.
He insinuates to the policeman that
some slight assistance would result in
an interchange of coin. but is told to
the darkness, quite relieved that he has
escaped without arrest
But perhaps the next day he finds
some one who knows friend who is
acquainted with a member, and so
gradually he works up to an introduce
ton. That is the first step. The
member is complaisaDt and says he
will try. Then he gets the strangers's
full name and address, and finally tells
him to 60 to the members entrance

As night approached he returned to

pigs and the poultry and then went in
