TIE Albuquerque Journal makes the following pointed remarks in regard to the suppression of poly gamy: "The Salt Lake Herald will soon find out that the United States can wipe polygamy or any other crime from any portion of it's territory. A nation that could put away the crime of slavery is equal to any emergency in the calender of crime"

INFORMATION NEEDED.

New York Tribune: The sharp decline
in the price Of wheat, within the past
few days. was not unexpected. After SO
remarkable rise as had taken place, =
considerable reaction was natural. But
there has been no change IN the real val
ne OF the property, and no news from
Europe or from the the farms to warrant
such change. The rise had been un-
reasonable In extent and the fall was
simply natural result. The influence
OF such market is harmful TO all inter-
ests, because it Is not commercial but
speculative IN character; because its
movements do not depend upon the
real value of any property, but upon the
shifting phases Of speculation. In such
market, many are tempted to risk the
funds invested In their legitim ate busl-
ness, and many TO risk the funds they
hold in trust. Bankers are involved In
difficulties because of loans made in
speculation, and business men who
have anything to do with the wheat
market find their business mixed up, in
spite of. themselves, in the gambling
chances Of speculation.
The main cause of difficulty, at pres
ent, is the uncertainty as to the injury
which the winter wheat has sustained
from frost. The violent fluctuations
have no adequate cause. But It is Of
real importance TO know whether the
damage from frost has been such as to
affect the yield 100000 or $4,000, 600
bushels. Not being able to know this
farmers can only guess whether they
will hold or sell the grain they have on
hand. Not being able to know how
great the Injury has been, dealers
in grain are at the mercy of every
falsehood that spectators can
concoct. This, again, happens every
year in some form or measure
but the mischief appears to be
greater this year than usual, because tn,
stock on hand Is very large and the re-
ported damage greater. More accurate
and early information collected by tn,
government, aud published with Official
guarantee of its ImparualitY, would e
Tar to prevent such mischief. 1t would
be OF the utmost benefit to the farmers
and TO all legitimate dealers
Us we'll as to bankers and 4
all those whose interests ar
necessarily connected with a market 70
wheat. Hitherto congress has penur
iously refused money needful for the col
lection Of information, and even for tn
publication of much information, ant
even for the publication of much infor
nation collected. 1t may be that ther,
will now appear some change, sine
another party will name the officials ant
have the spending of the money, an,
the publication of the more prompt ant
reliable Information as to the progress
OF the crops would be of a greater ser
vice TO the country than almost an
other employment OF the money tina
congress can devise.

CABINET CHANGES


A correspondent to an eastern paper
writes from Washington as follows in
reference to rumors circulated in regard
to certain changes in the president's
cabinet:
President Cleveland wishes 1t under
stood, once for all, that in selecting his
cabinet every member has enlisted for
the full term and that there has not been
single appointment for expediency or
with view of importing for political
purpose. 1t Is his earnest hope that
those now with him will share the bur
den of the trust until the end of his sd.
ministration. What may arise in the
future is not worthy of a moments
thought now, and hence whoever
may hear gossip about cabinet changes
hereafter can accept the unqualified de-
claration of the president that so far as
it may lie in his power, he will hold
every cabinet officer in his official fam
lily until the 4th of March, 1889. Ht
was reminded that MIR. Hayes made {
similar avowal in 1877, shortly after be
occupied the White House, and yet tina
he parted company with Secretary Nc
Crary in the third year, and Postnaste
General Key and Secretary Thompson
toward the close of his term.
Nevertheless" said Mr.. Cleveland
"lhe record shows his cabinet did re
main intact nearly three years, and tina
| four members continued to the end O
their term. hope to haYe the sam,
honor that Mr.. Pierce enjoyed at the enC
of his term of office-that of retiring Il
private life, aud parting company witt
the seven gentlemen who through thu
entire four years had helped to make tn,
yoke OF his presidential life less burden

But within three months his suprema-

But his gardeners struck for the daily 25
cents, and they won The strike, and pre-
vented the cut. This Is Gould's defeat
No. in the present list.
A month ago, in hunting after the

ton in the wages of his railroad shop
men on the southwestern lines But the
railroad shopmen from Kansas 70 Texas
struck against the cut. and put . stop 10

great wage reducer was forced to sur

About two months ago, our Punch
