see you out again. You don't look the

Robinson-Oh, I'm all right again. By

Domley (handing him the money)-As

THE PERFUME OF ROSES
BOSTON ADVERTISER.

Who drank the perfume of the first red rose
In Eden, lifting up its regal head?
Not Eve. the pure one! Unto her there came
The odor of the lily, as it said:
'I bow in all my beauty and my grace,
Giving my sweetness gladly unto you,
Who art the queen of ALL the wife of man,
The mother of world, woma true
Liith, the white one, pucked a great red rose,
And, calling Adam softly TO her side,
Said: Drink the odor of a fewer that lives
More full of love than lilies of your bride"
With the scent of roses came, alas!
The knowledge Of the beauty of the snake,
Eyes afire with ardor, lips all glowing red,
Boso mwhite as marble-marble, yet awake
With snares in every )uring sigh
OF the false heart hidedn there,
She tempted the maH-what do you wonder?-
With the CLEAN of gold IN her hair.

Adam, the man, the strong one,
Of the rose first drank the perfume,
And Ltlith. the golden haired serpent,
With their aid led him on to his doom.
And so, ever since in the worship
Of women by men who knew right,
Lilies belong TO EYES daughters,
Red roses to Liiith the white.

SHOWED THEIR HANDS.

Ever since the telegraph brought the
news that the pay of the officers and
members of the Legislature would be
withheld until provision was made for
the reimbursement of the United States
for the moneys it had advanced to Utah,
the Mormon papers and legislators have
howled about the injustice that such
measure would perpetrate upon
the innocent attaches Of the Legis-
lature, who have performed clerical
and other work during the past sixty
days, and who were in no way RESPONSE
BILE for the acts of the Legislature And
not SO very long ago, a terrible picture
was drawn of the horrible state of affairs
that would necessarily follow the refusal
OF the Governor to approve the bill in
which provision was made for the liqui-
dation Of the Insane Asylum indebted
ness and furnishing that institution with
funds for use in the future.
Yesterday, to meet what was supposed
to be the desire of the Legislature in these
particular cases, Mr.. Mclaughlin intro
duced in the House bill providing for
an appropriation of moneys to pay all the
employees of the Legislature, and also for
the appropriation Of O,0OO for the Asy-
lum. In introducing the measure, Mr.,
Mclaughlin stated that he had good
reason to believe that the Gov
ernor's signature could be obtained |
thereto, as it was so drawn that |
the moneys would pass through
the hands of the Secretary of Territory
instead of through those of the man
whom the Governor could not recognize
as in lawful possession of the office of
Territorial Treasurer. Now, what did
the Legislature do? After denouncing
the Executive in unmeasured terms for
refusing to give his signature to a bill
providing funds for the Asylum, and tax
ing him with being responsible for the
withholding of funds to pay the attaches
Of the Legislature, these sanctifed gen.
tlemen sat down on the bill which Mr..
Mclaughlin introduced and gave the
Governor no chance to approve it.
There's sanity consistency for you'll
The Asylum is left without funds, the
clerks, ushers and other employees of the
Legislature will not get their salaries, and
yet these same agents of the Church will
undoubtedly continue to charge that it is
he Governors fault, and not theirs. Yes,
We are a peculiar people.

The Most Drastic Vet.
From the WdshinqtOn Star


The anti-Mormon bill introdu ced by
Representative Woodburn of Nevada is a
more drastic measure than ANYTHING vet
proposed by Senator Edmunds, in that it
treats the Mormon Church as essentially
polygamous, and on that account as an un-
lawful society. Under this theory, which is
the underlying principle of what is known
as the Idaho law, man cannot be good
Mormon without either being polyeamist
himself or aiding and abettiag polygamy
IN Others. Hence the law takes cooni-
zance not of the offense of plural mar
riages simply, but of the society which
sanctions and shelters this illegal practice.
1t has been claimed that such law inyades
the constitutional guaranty of freedom of
religious belief. But on two occasions the
courts have sustained the Idaho statute. It
may easily be seen that religious belief
may bring its holder into conflict with the
State. If, for instance, sect arose that
believed In human sacrifice or human
slavery, it might be necessary to proceed not
simply against the actual priests of sacrifice
or the slave traders and masters, but against
the religious faith which developed such
enormities

The Americans in Utah are beginning
TO awaken to the true condition of affairs in
that Territory, and are getting down to the
only solution of the Mormon question.
Democrats and Republicans alike are now
standing shoulder to shoulder, and have
cast aside all political differences in order to
down the common enemy The Salt Lake
DEMOCRAT, always rather conservative, con-
ciudes lengthy article on the situation in
these words: IF the Government would
wipe out polygamy, it must first divorce the
Church from the State, and that can only
be done by striking the ballot from the
hands of the entire Mormon people. As we
have before remarked, the treatment adyo.

Mr. Cullom-I ask leave to introduce q

Government under which they live and
under whose laws they have been pro-
tected and to-day, even in the face of
legislation which, if enacted, would for
ever bury out of sight and smell the fetid
remains oftheir corrupt Church-and-State
organization, they remain as defiant, as
stiff-necked, and as unwilling to attempt
even to bring themselves EN- rapport with
the masses of the American nation, as
they were thirty years ago.
These are but few of the evidences
given by the Mormons of their "loyalty"
to the Government Is it wisdom to con-
tinue such people in the political control
of a Territory belonging TO the United
States? Let the records speak, and
Judgment follow accordingly. The Wood
burn bill provides panacea for the ills
We would fain be rid OF, and the time to
give it endorsement is now, while the

STILL IN SESSION.

The long-drawn-out agony is not yet
over. The agents of John Taylor's
Church still continue to pose in a body
as the Legislative Assembly of Utah,
though whether their prolonged
session will have the countenance
of any law, is very doubtful.
The gods are to be thanked that, of all
the Affections visited upon Utah, any
thing akin to thatexperienced here during
the past sixty days will after this be
known no more in the land forever
Sixty days! Who can point to the in
PRODUCTION of single bill whose provis-
ions gave an earnest of even the slightest
desire on the part OF these men to do any
thing looking toward the solution
of the intolerable evils here and
the wheeling of Utah into line as
an American Territory in something
more than the mere name? 1t cannot
be done. True to their covenants made
with men who are now fugitives from
justice, these legislators have stubbornly
refused to consider the questions which for
so long have agitated the Territory and
the whole nation; but on the other hand,
repeated attempts have been made to get
through such legislation as would afford
aid and comfort to Church criminals and |
enable them to longer and with more |
impunity set at defiance the laws of the |
land.
The record of the Twenty-seventh
Legislative Assembly of Utah is a bril- |
liant one, to be sure. May we never look |
upon its like again.

DEMENT'S CONFIRMATION

A Washington dispatch received last
night brought the astonishing news that
the Senate yesterday, by vote of 25 to
%, confirmed the nomination OF Mr.. De-
ment to be Surveyor-General for Utah.
If, up to last night, there was a man in
the community who entertained the idea
that favorable action would be taken by
the Senate in Mr.. Dement'S case, that
man kept his ideas strictly to himself
No wonder, then, that the news should
this morning fall upon the entire
community with much the same effect as
would the news that all the inmates of
the penitentiary had dug their way out
through the adobe walls of that institu-
tion and escaped under cover of night.
The DEMoCRAT does not think that Mr..
Dement, is a fit and proper person to
represent the Government in the office
to which he has been assigned. The rea-
sons for that belief have been set forth in
these columns on divers occasions. and it
is unnecessary to repeat them at this
time. The fact, however. that Mr.. De-
ments confirmation is owing to an ap-
peal made to his brother Senators by Mr..
Logan, confirms the truth of what the
DEMOCRAT has heretofore stated, to-wit:
That Logan was anxious to secure his
confirmation to pay off the debt he owed
Dement, for work performed by the latter
in his Iogan's) behalf during the fight
for the Illinois Senatorship He must in
deed be a good Democrat who would
place Senator Logan under such obliga-
tions to him.
The most satisfactory thing about the
dispatch alluded to is the last paragraph,
in which it is stated that ''the result was
due to Teller's absence, and reconsider
alton was entered and it will come I'D |
again" With Teller's vote against con-
firmation, and the Topping vote of the
Senator who moved for reeonsidera-
ton, the prospects are that the office of
Surveyor-Gereral for this Territory NAV
yet be filled by Democrat who knows
enough to go indoors when it rains.

MORMON LOYALTY.

The men who fired upon Sumpter and
by that act precipitated the bloodiest OF
wars known to modern history were desig-
mated and treated as rebels and traitors.
and not an Insignificant few of the MANY
thousands who afterwards engaged in
that conflict on the Confederate side
were strung up like onions on a rope be-
cause OF their alleged reasonable acts.
When We consider the attitude which
the people OF Utah, obedient to the coun-
sci OF aliens and traitors, have assumed
toward the parent Government, in COM
parison Herewith the men of the South
were gulltless OF aught that can be looked
upon as wanton crime. The Southerners
fought like men and Americans for what
they believed to be right, and when de-
feat oertook them on the battlefield, like
honest men they murmured not, but
accepted the inevitable, and to-day are
just as ready and willing to lay down
their lives in defense OF the old flag as
they once were to enter upon campaign
against it,
How is it with the Mormon people, led
by bogus priests and scheming aliens
For third of a century they have
willfully, wantonly and maliciously set
at defiance all the national statutes whose
provisions conflicted with their pie-bald
notions of right and wrong; they have
arrayed themselves in solid opposition to
the enforcement of laws which affect the
shoddy arstocrats Of the Church and a
small per cent. of its humber communi-
cants; they have, to circumvent
the laws, opened wide the food /
gates OF perjury, and in many instances |
by continued streams of villanous lies |
swept away the possibility of just con- !
victions; they have everlastingly robbed. |
by unjust taxation, the non-Mormons
who have become residents here. and |
refused them voice in the disposition of |
any part of the moneys SO obtained; they
have virtually disfranchised all who were
not OF their faith, and have prostituted
that privilege which they kept to
themselves to the base uses of an
unclean thing to which their
highest allegiance is given as against the

Temporary Relief-Cool Dreezes and
Refreshing Showers.
The cool breeze of last evening was well
coined by every one who is not fond Of a
continued torrid weather. Although the
temperature seemed to have fallen 10o, as
fact the change was but 40 lower than on
Wednesday evening. Lieut.. Woodruff,
the signal officer in charge Of predictions
reached the signal Office at
midnight last night. He could see no
relief from the present hot spell.
The GOODNESS OF last evening will probably
bring some relief to-day, and this evening
cool breezes may again be looked for. A
slight rain may be expected either this
morning before Z o'clock or after that hour
this evening. On Saturday the tempera-
ture Will again mount into the ninetics,
where, as far as present prospects indicate,
1t will remain some time. Montana is the
source whence cool and hot waves
may be expected In this section of the
country and at present that territory is
sweltering under temperature In the
nlneties, which is now travelling in an
easterly direction. The coolest place ut
this time in the country is the region Of
the great lakes and through the north,
where arefreshing fall in temperature has
been noted, the thermometer having fallen
IN North Boston and Portland to $40.
While the mercury reaches the ninoties
in Montana it is curious to note
that in New Orleans only
s6o was reached yesterday. The tempera-
ture registered In this city At 3 o'clock
yesterday afternoon, which was the maxi
mum temperature of the day, was $50.
This is the same as was registered in New
York. At Valentine, Neb., the tempera-
ture was 80; at Helena, Mon, 96o; at Fort
Custer, Dali. 500, and at Yankton, OAK. ,05o.

A CoSsTANTINoPLE special to the New
York Herald of yesterday states that on
the evening OF the 9TH, Minister Cox, the
members OF the legation, the officers OF the
Kearsarge, and 100 Of the crew were en-
tertained at a sumptuous dinner at
the imperial admiralty, the house Of the
minister of marine. Munvi Pacha was the
grand master of the ceremonies represent
ing the Sultan. Many cordial toasts to the
prosperity Of both countries were given.
among Others the health OF the President
and the Sultan. Great enthusiasm was
shown and hopes expressed that the Cres-
cent flag and the Stars and Stripes would
ever be found waving In friendly unison
References were made to the great friend
ship existing between the two countries
The table was laid in the Sultan's apart
mems att the admiralty house. The whole
place was tastefully dressed with flags, aud
the Marine Band played select music. The
building was illuminated with brilliant
display OF fireworks. Dinner was served
TO the crew In separate apartment, and,
wonderful TO relate, 1t was precisely the
same as that given to the officers, fact
that must have astonished the former and
disgusted the latter. Inasmuch as the
United States and Turkey have no Sc
rlously conflicting interests, there is not
likely to be rupture of friendly relations.
We confidently expect that Minister Cox
will continue to hold his grip on the alrec-
tons Of Abdul Hamid.
