rur NaoRMoN BILL.

Senator Edmunds's bill to suppress polyga-
my in the territories which has passed the
Senate is an exceedingly severe measure, and
probably gets quite as near to the limit OF
the constitutional power Of Congress as Is
possible. But the disease which Congress
has to contend with is desperate one and
nothing but a desperate remedy viii answer
the purpose.
Under the common law the wife cannot
testify against the husband or the husband
against the wife, but this bill provides that
the wife may be compelled to testify even
when her husband is the defendant. In
many of the states wife may testify against
her husband voluntarily, but this is the first
time that it has been attempted to compel
her to do so against her viii.
If this measure becomes law hereafter
the Mormon church will be managed practi-
cally by the government, for it provides for
the appointment by the President of fourteen
trustees who are to wind up the affairs of
the Church of the Latter Day Saints, a cor
porate body under the Territorial laws.
Other sections of the bill provide for the
bringing of witnesses into court by attach
ment without the usual preliminary of a
subpoena; require formal certificates of mar
rage signed by both parties; disfranchise
the women Of the territory and annnl all all
territorial laws legitimizing children.
Though severe the measure is none too Sc
we're when the strength 0fthe evil with which
it is to cope is considered. 1t has been DEM
onstrated by long trial that the ordinary
remedies are not sufficient to meet the case,
and that something of this sort must be re-
sorted to unless the Mormons are to be al

1t is admitted that Marshal Andrews
dummy warrants, for which he brings in a
bill of $4,000 did not secure the arrest of a
single rumseler or the capture of a single
gallon of rum. They were all served, how
ever, ostensibly for the purpose of suppress
ing liquor selling. 1t seems perfectly proper
therefore, to inquire in what way they sub
served that purpose. Gen. Dow, however,
seems to think such an inquiry an imperti-
nence. He appears to be Of the opinion that
the wisdom and sincerity of the Marshal
should not be questioned He did not always
think SO. On the records of the County Com
missioners appearsthe following protest;

siOHers:
Gentlemen: As one Of ths taxpayers Of the
county of Cumberland, | most respectfully but
earnestly protest against the payment from the

One Of the deputies referred to in this pro-
test was Benjamin f. Andrews, the same
gentleman who has just presented bill of
$4,000 for serving dummy warrants" An

paid by the Standard Oil Co., and names
son of Senator Payne as the disbursing
agent. The sums which he claims were paid
to Senators range from $4,000 to $4,000
and the sums paid the members of the
House, he asserts, ranged from $500
to $500 He is, however, specific, and as
sumes to know the exact sum which each
one of the fifteen received. Ohio politicians
in Washington think that this matter cannot
fail to epd in an inquiry by the committee on
privileges and elections.of the Senate.

"Shall we become city or remain a
town ?" is the question that will soon agitate
the good people of Brunswick and Water
vile They should hesitate long before
throwing away the distinction of large
town for the obscurity of small city. 1t is
testimony to the good sense of the people
of Wateryille that they have never yet ac-
cepted the privilege granted them by the leg
islature several years ago. The time has
not yet arrived when it would be anything
but good sense to refuse it, and what is true
Of Waterviile is true Of Brunswick. Any
man would rather be first selectman of a

1t is true as Gen. Dow says that If the old
town hall is removed an armory must be pro-
vded for the militia and ward room for the
voters of Ward 4, but it is not necessary that
the ward room and armory should be in the
same building, or that either Of them should
occupy commanding situation" The es-
innate which Gen. Dow; makes of the cost Of
such building with the land, $l50,0o0
seems ahsurdly high As to the proposition
to give the citizens of Portland a chance to
express their views on the question of site
it should be remembered that the expression
is to be simply an informal one. 1t is to
bind nobody.

Ignorance of an Elevator Man.

Ihave heard great many stories about
the ignorance of the city farmer and OF
the men who deal in a quarter of mill
ion of (wind) wheat as if they were toss
ing silver dollar, but L never believed
half Of them until the other day. There
was some little trouble about some grain,
In grading it, and several of the city
farmers called at the elevator to act as q
higher court and decide between the con-
tending parties. When they got through
l took them through the elevator, as they
wanted to see how the grain looked, and
decide for themselves whether it was in
good condition. We struck bin of very
nice looking rye.
- One of them picked up handful, and,
raising the hand, allowed it to run back
slowly into the other one Then he re-
versed it, and ran it back again. l sup
posed he was forming a learned opinion
as to the quality. It was really very fine.
Finally he asked what that was. Another
Of the party replied that it was new
kind of wheat raised in foreign country,
and just being tried here. 1 told them
they were wrong; that it was rye. Both Of
them looked at me. "Rye?" said the first
one; 81 thought the only kind of rye was
that which you poured out of bottle. ~

For cartridges it is suggested that sheet
aluminium bronze viii prove to be IN
rivaled by any composition now known,
for it is the only cheap metal not affected
chemically by gunpowder, and that in
turn does not deteriorate the gunpowder
when stored for period of years. Alum
inium bronze is likewise most admirably
adapted, on account of its enormous tenae-
ity and stiffness and resistance to all forms
of corrosion, for torpedo-bOat cylinders

But a VOW before Gods altar
Naught may break
Listen, then, for loves sweet sakei
We could walk in pleasant weather
Side by side,
Each with each other satisfied;
We could keep our step together
In the sun

Could we through life's many morrows,
Early, late,
Clasp the glad hands, defying fate;
Tender, true, through joys and sorrows.

Must the golden life sands run;

Love would lend
Strength and solace to the end!
