RINK TENDENCIES

With the return of winter and the re-
opening of the skating Kinks, the preach
.ers and the newspapers, in the interest
of public morals are again crying out
against the roller Kinks and demanding
that they be better managed than
heretofore, so as to protect young and
innocent girls against scheming and
vicious men. Without doubt skating
Kinks have done much harm to society
but this has come from bad manage
ment rather than on account ofinherent
badness in the pastime of roller skating
For some time it was noticed in Provi-
dence, r. l., that there was a perceptibIe
increase In the number of young street
walkers, who made it their practice r.
promenade up and down the streets
and carry on open fiirtations with
last men and youths. In many in
stances the promenading was car.
Tied on well into the even
ing, and by girls of very tender wears.
Assertions were made that the roller
skating Kinks were responsible in part
for the bad conduct of the girls. A |
month ago the Mayor determined to |
trace out these, and detailed officers to
attend the Kinks in citizens dress and
investigate the matter. The official re-
port of the investigation confirmed the
worst that had been said about the ex-
istenee of immoral influences, and as
consequence the aldermen have de-
cided to grant no more licenses after
the end of the month.
It would be wrong to charge that all
Kinks are open to the complaint made
against them in Providence, but it is
not too much to say that all Kinks to |
which people are admitted indiscrimin-
ately will bear watching.

ienter lands under the homestead laws,
and we exact no more from them than
the promise of becoming citiZs ms as soon
as the law allows It. And IN several Of
our western States those subjects of
King Oscar. after SIX months residence.
take part in the election OF members of
Congress and of the President OF The
United States. If the Mormon imml-
/ grants are admitted to own homestea' S
on any easier terms, we are not aware
of it. and in that case the laws ought to
be changed. But e can no more o
Oenind the Oatn OF loyalty and citizen
ship taken by Mormon, than behind
that of any other lmm grant. We must
wait till he violates it, before we lay
MIN under legal penalties. If we take
any other course, we shall soon have
some Protestant pleading that
every Roman Catholic is a subject of
the Pope, and as such ought to be ex-
Guided from citizenship.
Our suggestion that the Edmunds
law ought TO be enforced against Gen
tiles and MOrmons alike is met by the
plea that Gentle offences against the
law of homogeneous purity are very
different in their kind and their mis-.
chIeVous influence on society. Adult |
terry practiced secretly is not like polyg-
amy practiced openly by a man
who has several wives in the same
mouse, and who pro ,laims his right to !
DO so. But the EdmundS law does not /
apply to such cases only, and we learn !
from the Salt Lake City papers that it |
mas OF been applied to such cases only !
by the commissioners who are enforc- |
ing IL. Mormons have been called to 4
account for pOlygamy in cases where |
the alleged second wife has never lived |
IN the house of her husband or borne |
his name. Now Captain Goldman of /
Boston, who visited Salt Lake City
r GENTLY, says there are Gentiles in
Utah who are known to be as gross
offenders in this matter. What we
want is that the Commissioners should
emphasize to the non-polygamous
Mormons the fact thatiU is not Mormons
out polygamists they are after; by
one or two such double
amilied uentiles, if such there are.
Has the Tribune any objection 10 that?

NOW Is THE TIME.

The recent arrest of certain parties
on the charge of violating the laws fol
furnishing those guilty of lewd and
lascivious conduct, and the agitation
growing out of the exposure, can be
turned to good account if the officials
charged with the enforcement of the
laws will only be active and diligent in
the performance of their duty. The
Chief Justice has declared from the
bench the existence of notorious houses
of prostitution in the city; the Grand
Jury has officially reported that such
houses abound; the District Attorney
has called attention to them, and the
officers and public generally know there
are such houses and where they are To-
Gated. His Honor has intimated that |
he would be pleased 10 have these |
places suppressed and their keepers
punished, in which sentiment he
is joined by nine tenths of the com
munity. Under the circumstances the
present would seem to be a favorable
time to free the city from these places,
and relieve the municipality of the
scandal of permitting the vice of prosti-
tuition to faunt itself so brazenly and
as it has done during the [
past few years. 1t is evident that the :
keepers of some of the houses are c
alarmed, as it is said they are trying g
to evsde the law by applying fer Ii f
lenses as lodging-house keepers. These 8
have so far been refused c
by the Mayor, and should be rejected I
in every case where the applicant is {
known to be the keeper of a house of ill {
fame or of an assignation house. 1t will
be well to let these women understand q
their fears are not groundless, and this $
can be done by the vigorous, deter 1
mined prosecution of all who are en- f
gagged in the vile trade. A few conv.c- U
ions, followed by the severe punish q
nent of the guilty, viii drive the crea- q,
ures from Salt Lake, or compel them n
0 reform their mode of life. .,

HE SURVIVAL of the fttest' advo-
Gates have advanced a new doctrine
ana one which will find few adherents
especially among the prohibitionists
and temperance people. In a late pane,
on 1.-The Economy of Vice and Crime y
DR.. Brigham recommends intoxicating
drinks as on the whole a benefit to the
community. He says:
The alcoholic road TO self-extermina-
ton IS one of the most speedy WAYS of
destroying the weak and inferior. and
although some who select this road are
brilliant specimens of mental mower
yet as a whole, they are weak and nm.
worthy OF preservation. Intemperance
though doing much harm, also does
great good. The certainty and CELEBRITY
with which iItemperance DESTROYS the
weak and wicked classes of society
IaYorably recommends it over the ordi.
nary methods of to-day in the admins
tering of justice.
Fortunately philanthropy and human
ity are found in every communitv
otherwise many such monstrous dor
trines as that advanced by DR.. Brig
ham would become prevalent.
