THE BRADLAUGH CASE.

Charles Bradlaugh has taken his seat
in Parliament. He has had a very rough
time in getting into Parliament, and it is
possible that he may still be ousted, as
there is rumor to the effect that the
legal advisers of the Crown have decided
to take action against him. The cause of
all his trouble is that he is not believer
in Christianity. When he was first re-
turned as a member of the House he re-
fused to take the oath Of Office and was
expelled from the House. He was re-
turned again and was willing to take the
oath, but was not permitted to. His con-
stituency stand by him well, and they
will yet force the British Parliament
to recognize the right of electors to
to send whom they please into Parlia-
ment. At the late session Mr.. Gladstone
was contemplating the introduction of q
bill to provide for cases like that OF Brad
laughs, but he was succeeded by Lord
Salisbury before he had completed his
PLAN Some action should be taken to
provide for such cases, for they will con-
tinually be coming before Parliament and
Parliament will finally have to succumb
to the electors. To exclude men from
Parliament for unbelief is of the same
piece as excluding Catholics from that
body, and Catholics We're forbidden
for many years to hold any Office
in England. 1t would be far more
consistent for the British Parlia-
ment to require members to subscribe
to the articles of the Church of England
than for that body to exclude men from
it on account of want of belief. If
man is to be compelled to have a belief
in some kind of religion, he should be
compelled to have belief in some par
ticular religion, for it is impossible that
all religions should be equally good.
England formerly required the members
of Parliament to believe in the articles,
and Oxford and Cambridge required
like belief in all who presented them,
selves at those famous seats of learning
for the purpose of acquiring knowledge.
If belief in a specific religion is no longer
required to take seat in Parliament,is is it
not absurd to require general belief in

In the Nineteenth Century for Novem-
Der, 1885, the Rt. Hon. w. E. Gladstone
had an article entitled, "The Dawn OF
Creation" both admirable and interest
ing. In the same review for December,
1885, this article was answered by two of
the most distinguished professors of Eng
land, Professor Huxley and Professor
Max Muller. Mr.. Gladstone does not
despair for he has an article in the
Nineteenth Century for January, 1885, en-
titled, "Proem to Genesis; Plea for a
Fair Trial," j" which is an answer to both
his critics. In the same number DIR.
Reville has reply to Mr.. Gladstone's
criticism of his work. And thus it is
that the worlds great men spend their
time in the hours of recreation. The
January Nineteenth Century is an exceed
ingly interesting number containing arti-
cles by Frederick Harrison Thos. Brassey,
Algernon Charles Swenburne and others
of note.

COMMON SENSE IN POLITICS.

Mayor O'Brien, of Boston, in his in
augural address has the following most
admirable passage.
If political parties put unscrupuIous men
to the front, they ought to be voted down.
If political parties make combinations with
men whose morality and integrity are ques-
tionable, such combinations should be dis
couraged and discountenancedb by every good
citizen. If no quarter is given to men who
have no moral principle behind them, who
connect themselves with leading parties
merely for plunder, they will soon be
stamped out, and the business of the city
will be conducted, like any other large cor
pcration, on business principles.
The doctrines of civil-service reform
have never been better set forth than
in these few words of Mayor O'Brien.
Another thing to be noted in con-
nection with this is the fact that
Mayor O'Brien is a Democrat, and a
representative Democrat. Political par
ties are but a means to an end. The
spoils system makes of party an end
The true end of political parties is to Sc
cure good government, and when they
seek for anything else they are departing
from their object and perverting theil
usefulness. No political party can make
an unscrupulous man a fit person to be a
public servant, and as Mayor O'BrieI
says, such men ought to be voted down
Bad and unscrupulous men are not con
fined to one political party; they are o.
all parties and will ever follow in the
wake of the triumphant party. They use
political principles and theories merely as
words to conjure with, and thereby gair
influence and place. 1t is against the
employment of such men in public Of
fees that Mayor O'Brien protests. Fol
nearly year the cry of turn the rascals
out" has been heard more or less fire.
quently. Comparatively few have raised
that cry, but when they have raised il
they have put forth all their lung strength
When rascals are found in office, no mat
ter under what political flag they may
sail, they should be promptly turned out
of office. Contraband goods are some
times carried under neutral flags, and
party flags frequently protect political pi
rates. ....-..-..-.--.--

NO EXCUSE LEFT.

The introduction in the Legislature OF
bill providing for an extension OF the
provisions of the Poland law leaves the
Legislature without any excuse as to why
they do not enact some law to aid in sup
pressing polygamy. Heretofore it has
been claimed that the Legislature had no
right or business to legislate on the ques-
ton of polygamy. The claim had no
foundation and was merely an excuse for
the mastery inactivity" of the Legisla-
ture Perhaps poor excuse was better
than none, and the excuse of the Legsla-
ture was indeed very poor
one. If the local Legislature have
no right to legislate on the question Of
polygamy, how is it they have right to
legislate in regard to the drawing OF
jurors, Congress having legislated on that
matter? 1t may be said that the bill
introduced by Mr.. Thurman is merely
supplemental legislation. Very true and
very good, but it is supplemental legis-
lation that is needed to make the Ed
munds law of 1882 more effective.
Legislation is wanted to supplement that
law, not to supplant it. The Legislature
cannot deny knowledge of the situation
in Utah, for that situation is the common
talk of their constituents and more or less
of the whole country. They also know
that this situation is constant source OF
worry and anxiety to their constituents,
yet they do nothing one way or the other
to relieve those constituents from their
worry and anxiety.
The practice of polygamy in Utah is
extensive and is against the law of the
land. That being the case it must be
right or wrong, for it cannot possibly be a
matter of Indifference. Now, why do
not the Legislature take action on this
question one way or the other? Ii they
think the practice of polygamy is right,
let them declare it lawful. If, on the
contrary, they think it is wrong, let them
so say by enacting laws for its suppress
sion. By taking action either for or
against the practice OF polygamy they
can readily bring about a settlement OF
the Utah problem. 1t is impossible that
the members of the Legislature should
not have definite opinions on the Utah
problem, and the people of Utah and of
the country want to know what those
opinions are. A dying man might as
we'll attempt to ignore the grave as the
Utah Legislature to ignore the local ques-
ton. If they 90 not take some action on
the matter, they will be superseded by
some body exercising the same powers
they now exercise, who will take action.
The Government has dilly-dallied about
long enough with the Utah problem, and
if the Government intends to settle this
Utah problem in favor of the law, the
sooner it is settled the better. If the
members of the Utah Legislature believe
in and favor the practice of polygamy,
let them have the courage of their con-
victions and the manhood to make those
convictions law so far as lies in their
power. They may rest assured that, if
if they ignore and refuse to act on the
Utah problem, their successors in the
capacity of lawmakers for Utah Terri
tory will not be elected by the people of
Utah, but will be appointed by the Presi-
,lo,+ of +ba IIp;ta1 St,toc

He Was Convinced.


"Johnny, hurry up and get ready to &c
to school or you'll be too late"

"Not going! And why not?"
"I've struck"
"Struck! What do you mean by that ?''
"Why, didn't father read in the paper
last night about persons strikin' and said
that it was right for the oppressed to
strike?"
"And I hope you don't call yourself
oppressed. do youS"
"Of course 1 am. If feller doesn't
want to 60 to school and his mother
makes him go, isn't he oppressed?"
$50 you have struck, have you? Well,
I'll see if I can strike, too"
And just as soon as Johnny saw his
mother reaching for the strap, his first
strike came to an end, for he darted out
of and was down at the school in twink
ling.

IN LIKE CIRCUMSTANCES.

The Republican Senators held caucus
in Washington yesterday morning. The
purpose of the caucus was to compare
views with regard to the right of the SEN
ate to ask for information as to the rea-
sons for making removals from office.
This action was merely Tor the purpose of
keeping Republicans in office and Demo-
Gratis out. Those are very much the
same as the reasons for which the Legis-
lative Council have refused heretofore to
confirm Governor MuTay's nominations
to the offices of Auditor, Territorial Trea-
surer ard Superintendent of District
Schools-to keep Mormons in and GEN
tiles out. The consequence of the atti-
tude of the Republican Senators and of
the Mormon Legislative Council is
that Democratic President and
Republican Governor are placed in like
circumstances as to their nominations.
There is curious coincidence in this, as
it makes Republican Governor take the
same grounds that Democrrtic President
does, for both the Mormons and the Re-
publicans claim to act under "higher
law" If the Republican Senators are
right in their stand, then the Mormon
Councilmen are right. Likewise, if
Governor Murray in Utah is right in in
sisting upon his right to make certain
appointments, then the Republican Sena-
tors in Washington are wrong in oppos-
ing President Cleveland in his assertion
of his right to make certain appoint-
ments. Now, who is right in this
matter, Republican Governor in
Utah or a Republican Senate in
Washington? They cannot both be
right, for they are both maintaining op-
posite theories. 1t is possible that change
of climate changes Republican principles
in Utah. The Republican Senators in
Washington should conform their prac-
tices to the theories of the Republican
Governor in Utah, or else the Republi-
can Governor of Utah should. Some
thing should be done to reconcile the
