POIygamIsfs TO Dwell In the Land
of MOntczuma.

va
Among the recent arrivals at the Palace
Hotel, San Francisco, are Major Robert c.
Walker, of Helena, Montana, and Mr..
Salisbury and wife, of Salt Lake City.
Mr.. Salisbury is Of the firm of Gilmer d
Salisbury, mail contractors, and one OF
the best known citizens OF Salt Lake.
Mrs. Salisbury ia a niece Of the famous
Republican chieftain, James G.. Blaine,
her father, Major Walker. having married
a sister of that distinguished leader.
Major Walker is a retired Army officer, and
a most affable and courteous gentleman,
whose training and education have been
such as TO lend the weight Of authority to
whatever opinions he may express on
questions OF public moment. To an Alta
reporter, who had the pleasure of meeting
him last Friday. Major Walker said that
his visit to this city was simply a pleasure
trip, and that he should return in a few
days to his home in Helena, Montana.
Major Walker has spent some time lately In
Salt Lake City, and in conversation relative
to the Mormon question and III response 70
several queries put by the reporter he said:
"In regard to the Mexican colonization
scheme projected by the leaders of the
Mormon Church, il is a mistaken idea to
think that q general exodus of the Saints
from Utah TO Mexican territory is contem-
plated. The facts are that by the payment
Of $500, 900 the Mormon Church acquired
the title in fee simple to an immense tract
of land in Chihuahua, and secured the
lease OF an additional tract 300 miles wide
and 700 long, running clear down to the
Gulf. This land Ia secured ut q stated rate
of payment, the Mexican Government hav-
ing stipulated to sell the land at $500 for
every 100 acres, and make the sales only to
Mormons. 1t is pretty we'll understood in
Salt Lake that the leaders OF she church
have been guaranteed by the Mexican Gov
eminent absolute freedom to practice
polygamy without fear of any Govern
mental interference. 1t is only those Nor
mons, or rather principally those Mormons
who desire TO enjoy a plurality OF matri-
monial joys, who will emigrate TO the Mex
lean colony. Already some seven hun
dred aud fifty families have gone into
Mexico. and it is we'll understood now
that the church has given out that no
more polygamy can be carried on in Utah
Bill tuht JUG VIM WISH " Ao0dAGS ~
that practice must go TO Mexico. The
great majority of the Mormons are not
polygamists, but Of course they look upon
the arrests and prosecutions Of their CO.
r%eligionists on charges Of practicing polyg-
amy as nothing less than prosecutions. 1t
was some little time before ! understood
the distinction made by the Edmunds Act
between polygamy and unlawful cohabita-
ton. A charge of polygsmy can be
brought against a man who may have
made a plural marriage three years prior
to the preferment Of the charge. A charge
OF unlawful cohabitstion can be brought
against any man who was married to a
plurality OF wives before the passage OF the
Act and who persists 10 living with more
than one of these wives. Such a charge
can be brought once a week, or oftener,
providing the allegation is proved"

CAPITAL COMMENTS.
The Senatorial Situation i'm Me-
vada.

WAsHrsGroS, May 10. Is

WAsHIsGToS, May 10, 1886.
AT the rate that Republican aspirsnts are
turning up for the Senatorial seat in the
United States Senate for the next term, /
hardly know what Nevada ia going to do
for Republican voters. There does not
seem TO be the same general scampering
after the position in the Democratic fold as
exists on the other side of the fence. l
suppose this is due in a large measure to
the fact that Senator Fair has given salts
faction to the party not only in the State,
but generally, and that Democrats are
willing TO fight the battle again with him
at the head, il he so desires. would like
TO say frankly to the voters Of Nevada,
both Democratic and Republican that if
they wish Nevada to retain my politi-
cal Importance whatever under the pres
emit Administration, they cannot afford
to send another Republican to fill the
vacancy which will exist after the
4th of March, 1887. just think of it
for a moment, and see what il means to
have q Republican colleague for Senator
Jones. Until Senator Hearst came TO the
Senate there was no other Democratic
Senator west Of the Missouri river. save
the Senator from Nevada. Being a Dem
ocrat, and a good one, he has made his
power with the Administration felt all
| over the Pacic Coast. Nevada now has a
say in the appointments and appropria-
| tions for the West. l want to ask any
voter who feels disposed to vote against
| the Democratic ticket what there will be
gained by the success of the Republican
party in the State this Fall? Well. if you
have not thought Of it, it means that II
Nevada wants a public building. if she
! wants her postal facilities expedited. and
wants to have some say in the nations
politics under the present Administration
she should return a Democratic Senator.

Edmun dis and His Hobby.

Bradstreet's says: "a recent action OF
the Senate relative to the confirmation OF
appointments made by the President goes
to show that the majority in that body
have become convinced that they have
nothing to gain by their contests with the
Executive over the question OF removals.
Senator Edmunds, II Is true. secured the
passage OF the much-discussed resolutions OF
the Judiciary Committee. but it was by a
bare majority, and tho spirit of the resolu-
tons has since been tacitly ignored. The
struggle was. ii will be remembered, be-
gun over the nomination of q person to
succeed a suspended District Attorney of
Alabama. While the nomination was pend

pended officer expired. and the President

by the expiration Of his predecessors

confirmed. and unless that body reconsider

PoLEcAT JUsTIcE-One of the Jurors for
the present term of Court, in returning to
duty at Townsontown, Nd, one Monday
morning, encountered polecat upon the
road, which, upon being molested, made
fight with the weapon peculiar to that
pretty little animal, coming out ahead by
large majority. The juryman was puzzled );
he knew not what to do. Far from home,
he could not turn back-and then, he was
on panel, and foreman at that SO he
bravely pursued his journey. Arriving at
the Court house. he was surprised to note
the special attention he received and even
the honorable Judge seemed particularly
mindful of his presence. When the panel
retired to the jury-room, and were locked
up, it is said they were very far from an
agreement upon verdict of the case in
volved, but that the foreman. on this par
ticaar occasion, seemed to possess a pow
erful influence in harmonizing opinions, so
that an agreement was soon reached. The
idea is suggested that polecats might be
advantageo1sly used upon stubborn juries.
