fever of excitement, brought about
by combination of circumstances,
which it would be impossible, even
if we had the space to deyote to its
narration, to fully explain the causes
thereof; so varied and conflicting are
the interests involved and many
hued the glasses through which each
individual views the Kaleidoscope
and ever-chsnging panorama of emo
tion and feeling. The report of the
Board of Commissioners appointed
by the Court to examine the Books
of the County officers was perhaps
the starting point, as on its appoit-
ment violent threats were made
against certain members of the
Board. This had the effe ct of urging
close investigation. At the con-
vening Of the Court the Board made
their report and as we havn't space

GIVE US THE BILL FIRST.

1t is reported that Mr.. Tucker will be
allowed day and night in Congress
prior to the adjournment, to be devoted
to the debate OF the Constitutional
amendment prohibiting polygamy. With
out undertaking the Importance OF that
proposed measure, it is to be regretted
that q few hours OF time cannot be given
to the consideration OF the Utah bill. 1t
would be all that is needed to insure its
passage, and it is OF vastly more import
ance, practically, at the present time,
than anything else pertaining to the sub
ject matter 1t would effect nearly every
thing desired to be accomplished by the
amendment, and the results would
be Immediate, certain and decisive.
1t will require long and tedious
routine OF red-tape circumlocution to
make the constitutional change, which is
necessary only on account OF the condi-
tion OF affairs here. In view OF this fact,
it ought to be apparent to all sincere OPP
ponents OF polygamy that the shortest
route to its suppression and abolishment
il the best one. The bill is in harmony
with the Constitution rs it stands, and
even with the proposed change, SINH
lar statute would be required to carry it
intoefiect. Perhaps, however, Chairman
Tucker, when he gets the question fairly
before the House, when the members
are thoroughly aroused to the import
ance of the question, will seize the oppOr-
tunity to bring up the bill and run it
through during the time allotted to the
consideration OF the amendment It
would be a mastery stroke of parliament
tary tactics, perfectly legitimate and
strictly in accordance with custom and
precedents, 1t is the only hope that we
can discern for any legislation for Utah
during the remnant of this session.

GOVERNOR GEORGE.

California is known the world over as
the breeding-place oi remarkable men,
and never has one more remarkable than
Henry George been known in hen his
tory Back in the sixties, George was a
good all-round newspaper man, whose
services were in great demand, but he
never seemed to gather financial moss.
In '6S he took hold oil the Sacramento
Reporter for Ex-Governor Bigler, and for
81 time succeeded in staying off financial
death from that concern. Then he took ,
or rather started, the San Francisco
Eceniag Post, and after making good
property out OF it from almost nothing,
he sold to Colonel Jackson at good fig
ure, and everybody wondered what
his next move would be. Suddenly
he blossomed ont as the author OF
his peculiar book, Progress and Pow
eny, which has made a name
and fortune for him, as it paved the way
ior him as q lecturer and writer, in either
line oi which he is an acknowledged

friend or adviser, and his character il

spotless, he being looked up to by many
struggling Bohemians as model news
paper man OF the self-made type. The
workingmen of New York State are talk
ing OF Mr.. George as their candidate Tor
Governor and the question naturally
arises among those who know him: Is he
the man for the place? AS writer,
reasoner and educator. Mr.. George is an
acknowledged leader, but as an executive
officer in such State as New York, we
fear he would be sadly out of place II
the Governor OF New York was the
Governor in fact, he might hope to see
some of his cherished ideas put in practice
but when it became necessary TO meet
and bargain with Tim Houlihan OF the
Fourth ward, in order to put any measure
in practice, his sensitive soul would re-
volt and his government fail. No

THE STUMBLING BLOCK.

In this, its first hours OF defeat, the
friends OF Home Rule have an opportu-
nifty OF knowing their friends and enemies,
and it is singular what a large number OF
enemies the success OF the Tories has
produced Men who were beyond sus-
picion Of treason to the interests OF the
men OF Ireland, are now drawn out Of
their holes, and paraded to the world as
the great champions OF the Empire and
the foes of the dismemberment scheme,
which they claim Home Rule to be. 1t
is but another proof, however, that the
people of Ireland are in the hands OF
vindictive class OF aristocrats, who are
governed entirely by the action of the
public pulse rs doctorcd with theirmoney,
and who never dream OF any other argu-
ment in favor OF their peculiar hobbies.
That the friends of Home Rule are down.
cast there can be no doubt, and many
will feel that the resignation of Glad
stone will mark the downfall OF their
cause, but such is not the case. Glad
stone will resign, but only the better to
be able TO oppose all measures Of the ma
jority and practically tie up legislation in
the Empire, until the cry OF distressed
Ireland is heard and answered, and JUS
tice, strangled at the polls, holds sway
once more The only stumbling-b
of note that can be placed in the Prem
icr's way to success lies in the aptitude
OF the disheartened people OF Ireland to
yield to their feelings and resort to deeds
of violence against their enemies. 1t is to
be hoped that that block may not be
brought in play, as it assuredly would
ALLEVIATE the strongest card the Premier
holds, viz, the weight OF public opinion
outside OF Great Britain. Judge Quinn
of New York, in speech in Dublin or
Saturday, tells the story in few words
Before left America" he says, "sev-
eral Puritan descendants assured me ol
their sympathy with the Irish cause, and
asked me to bear message promising
Americas assistance with money ant

constitutional limits in their struggle io

but heed the warning contained in thu
words OF Judge Quinn, they will hay,
the support OF the people of this countr.
and all others who are lovers Of liberty

be successful. The lowering clouds of

POSSESS THE ISLANDS.

Our dispatches yesterday contained the
information that party OF English Royal
Engineers had started for the Pacific
coast OF British Columbia, for the pur-
pose OF inspecting the coast with view
OF locating coast defenses, naval stations
and such other means AZ will render that
coast impregnable. Senator Mitchell's
bill for a new naval station north OF San
Francisco is intended Tor similar pur-
pose OH our own Pacific coast, and it will
be lesson TO our national Legislators to
see how sure and certain is the work OF
the British war Office compared with the
dallying policy OF our own. The British
Government recognize the necessity
OF placing their coast line on the
Pacific in position OF defense, in
order to knit the chain OF deienses which
they have worked around the world, and
the only missing link oi which is the
Hawaiian group OF Islands. The northern
most coast point oi the United States on
the Pacific is Cape Flattery, at the en-
trance to the straits leading to Puget
Sound, and the coast there is 50 bold and
subject TO such heavy storms that no ior-
tifcations could be of advantage, but at
the entrance to the sound proper an ex-
cellent position can be found for works
that could defend the inexhaustible luIn-
ber region Of the Northwest, and the great
volume OF trade that springs from there
Without doubt, the British authorities
will fortiiy the adjacent points in
their territory, and render attack by that
channel hazardous, and at the same
time afording secure haven for their
own flag. With the IslanIs in their
grasp, and the coast OF British Columbia
thoroughly defended, they could make
descent on the coasts OF California and
Oregon with impunity, and being driver
off retire to the Islands to reft The
possible complications that may ye
arise on the lsthmus oi Panama make il
all the more pressing that the UniteC
States Government should have IN,

DIR. wYLs "MoRMoN PORTRAITS.


Some months ago we understood that
German writer, a doctor OF law, named
Wyl, was engaged in the city in writing
book on Mormonism. The first volume
OF this work, entitled, "Joseph Smith,
the Prophet. His Family and His
Friends" is now before the public. We
have had any number of books on Nor
monism, but they have been all, without
exception, either the contrary OF the
truth or half the truth. What could be
expected of books written by Mormons or
by rancid or half-apologzing "apos-
tates ?" And yet, bad and weak as these
are, they are about the most cdifying
books the public have hitherto had.
There has not been work built upon
the testimony OF witnesses, and stating
their knowledge of facts from the earliest
times OF Mormonism up to our day.
"NIormon Portraits" is the book looked
for by thousands these many years. 1t is
the work of an Independent thinker and
keen, good-natured observer, who has
studiously weighed and considered what
his witnesses and the Mormon books told
him, and now gives the precipitatc OF his
labors in Il most striking and dramatic
way The book is masterpiece OF
artistic work, the characters you have be-
fore you, often in n page or graphic
sentence. The chief merit Of the book
is, it is never tedious or spun-out There
is a vein OF delightful humor in it from
beginning to end. But an unsparinl
picture is drawn OF the Missouri ant
Illinois "Zion," and the cause of the
exodus Of the Mormon Zion to the Rock,
mountains made perfectly clear. There
is an abundance OF most drasti,
''clinchers" in the book. 1t gives for til,
first time, convincing proof OF Josepl
Smiths having been responsible for tn
attempt on the life OF Gov. Boggs. eth
Pandemonium of Nauvoo" is unveiled
The chapter, "Kinderhook Plates,
shows the prophet rs charlatan an
impostor, self-convicted and self-con
fessed, and the lively doctors criticism
on reformed Egyptian hieroglyphics
and the "Book Of Abraham,
demonstrates with mcrciless ogi
and crushing humor the ute
absurdity OF the Prophet Joseph's prt
tensions OF ''seership' This Kinder
hook catastrophe ought to furnish text
ad infaitum for Mormon preachers an
writers, and we feel very sure thi
Brother Reynolds will not have the heal
or the cheek to edit any more Of tn
Lords seances with his friend Abraham
We are informed that people who ar
best acquainted with the facts regar
Mormon Portraits" as the fir
thorougly honest and radical book OH Ii
subject We regard it simply as ma
terpiece. 1t is a work that will long Ii,
and find readers everywhere.

Islands as strategic point, while the
growing industries there strengthen the
reason. The succession OF the Prince OF
Wales to the British throne will undoubt-
edly give rise to serious international
troubles throughout the world, and in
such an emergency it behooves the Gov
ernment TO be thoroughly able TO meet
all attempts of foreign governments to
menace our coasts, and this cannot be
without the Islands as a naval rendez-
vous. 1t is to be hoped that Senator
Mitchell and those who represent the
Pacific Coast in Congress will agitate this
subject nor leave it till other powers have
so hedged the Islands with commercial
interests that their acquisition will be
costly, ii not impossible. The personal
greed of a few should not be allowed TO
weigh against great national necessity.
