A POSSIBLE SOLUTION.

The Omaha Herald of the 22d inst has
the following editorial.
Senator Voorhees, is reported as saying as
follows:
can speak only for myself think the best
Montana and Washington together They must
all come in soon, and they might as well come
now.
That's right. Proceed, Mr. Senator, with
the lnchoate procession, and then witness
the Republican oontortions. Give us an
omnibus bill and a whole litter of States.
including Utah, which contains more people
than any other Territory in the Union. po-
lygamists not counted.
This is Utah's opportunity. and the coun-
try's opportunity for settling the Utah ques-
ton. The certain and speedy remedy ia
Statehood. This proposition will provoke
an angry dissent from the fools and fanatics
on both sides, in Utah and in the rest of the
country, and this angry dissent will probaly
scare timid and time serving demagogues in
Congress and the country out of tolerating
the idea for moment-so many occupa-
tions would be gone among the Republican
cabals and Commissions in Salt Lake CITY,
and so many moral reformers would come
to grief. But that should not matter. If
President Cleveland would lead the way on
the great question of the creation of States,
by recommending broad measure to admit
several Territories, with Dakota and Utaf
leading the column, he could not only i'm

press his Administrator with great
historical distinction and Landmark, but he
could also crown IL with a final and perma-
nent solution of the "Mormon problem" as
follows:'
Let Congress pass an enabling act to au-
thorize the people of Utah to frame q con-
stitution, Republican in form,' with the
fundamental condition that polygamy shall
be abolished forever in the new State,
reputable Gentiles and nom -polygamous
Mormons uniting to frame such constitu-
tion, with the silent assent of President
TAYLOR, George O. Cannon and the heads of
the Church of Latter-day Saints. Admit
the Territory in pair with Dakota, or in
double pair with that and other Territories.
This is the true policy of wise and pro-
gressive Democratic craftsmanship for the
creation of States-nnd the destruction of
polygamy.
There can be but one reasonable objection
raised to the measure thus proposed, and it
is believed that this objection can be readily
removed, as follows: II will be said that by
the admission of Utah as State the people
of Utah would, under the conceded powers
of State sovereignty, violate their soleninly
plighted faith and revive and perpetuate
polygamy under State laws. There would
not be the least danger of such course
on the part of the people of Utah, but this
point need not be argued. Admit the fact
and concede the argument. The remedy is
one of absolute prevention through Con-
| stitutional amendment, the same rs was ap-
piled to slavery-of which polygamy was
denounced by the Republican party quar-
ter of n century ago as "twin relio'-which
amendment when adopted by all the States
would give the Federal power stronger
control and far higher moral position thar
it has now, to repress and exterminate polyg-

but perhaps the method we have been
discussing would bring about a solution
sooner than any other, and the quiet and
peace which all would like to see reign in
these valleys, in harmony with the whole
country, would come quickest through
conferring Statehood upon Utah. There
are many objections to such plan, but
it is well to discuss all plans, and out Of
the hotchpot OF the whole there may
issue plan both feasible and just.

An Appeal.

1t will be remembered that an appeal was
made more than three years ago in behalf of
poor and excellent woman who, after many
years of devotion to bed-ridden mother,
was SO unfortunate as to fall and break her
hip. That accident changed her from self
supporting woman into helpless cripple
Through that appeal, so kindly responded to
by the gentlemen of the Cumberland Club
and others whom we would gladly mention,
and the care of gentleman who kept all the
money at interest till the last, we were
enabled, with the aid of the Society of st
Vincent de Paul, to pay her rent and make a
weekly contribution to her support until
last June. Our resources then failed Since
that time she has painfully struggled early
and late to keep her home, at the only en-
ployment she can find for the small pittance
Of rs cents per week. She is so very lame
that it takes her nearly two hours to walk
the short distance to the workshop, but so
anxious is she to help support herself that
she will persevere until the ice and snow
make it impossible for her to go to her work.
Shall we help her once more, at this Thanks
giving season, to feel secure in her home
through the cold and storms that are COM
ing?
Any money sent to Mrs. e. H. Daveis, II
Free street, or to Miss Ellen u. Bacon, 40
Park street, will be judiciously applied to
her support

An Improved Snow PIow.

Mr.. S. Fl. Boswell of Manchester. exhibited
to the railroad men yesterday the model of
an improved snow pillow, recently patented
by him. The plough consists Of channel,
open at the top, without shoulders, with cut
tiers at the forward end, which cut through
the snow, and taking it up an inclined plane
deposit it on either side at the rear of the
plough. 1t is claimed that it is impossible to
throw the pillow ioff the track, and that one
locomotive can run it through drifts that
three engines could not get through with an
ordinary pillow. 1t is now in successful use
on the Central Vermont road. Payson
Tucker, Esq, and others think the inven-
ton valuable and will shortly build plows
Of this model and given them a thorough

4 Hotel Man Shot Dead.

SAVANNAH, GA, December 9.-Lewis
Edwards, an 1S-year-old colored boy,
shot and killed X. J. Smith, hotel pro-
prietor at Jesup, yesterday morning.
Edwards was porter at the opposition
hotel. Smith resented some of his impu-
dence Edward drew pistol and Smith
a knife, and the two grappled Edwards
fired twice, shooting Smith through the
head and heart. Edwards was cut in the
back. The crowd tried to lynch him,
but he was put on train and brought to
Savannah for safe-keeping.
