Some Plain Talk.

NOW, by my maiden honor, yet as pure
AS the unsuilied lily, protest,
A world Of torments though should endure,
Iwould not yield to be your houses guest"
WASHINGTON, d. C.-The Senate
has been laboring with the Mormon
question. When you wish to cause
your dignified old Solon to explode,
all that is necessary for you to do is
to mention the "twin relic" Edmunds
and Hoar and Blair, the temperance
crank, Hale, Blaine's lackey-boy, and
Morrill,, the attorney of the National
Banks, all assume a virtue if they
have 1t not, and hold up their hands
and wall their eyes in holy horror
when they remember that the Saints
OF Utah profess what they practice.
No doubt there is much wickedness
and dngodliness in the Territory; no
doubt sin assumes the cloak of relig-
ion, and in the name of freedom of
worship and liberty of conscience in
dplges in reprehensible practices, re-
voting to the finer senses of human
ityi but why should our states
men see and expose and de-
nounce the flaw in the Utah dia-
mond, and remain blind and dumb
and tolerant of the cancer fostering
in the flesh of the body polite Just
under their Senatorial noses? There
is more Cuisines in a wicked way"
enacted in this town during two
hours Of moonlight than in ali Nor
mondom in twelvemonth. The de-
partment here, in which females are
employed, are nothing less than har-
lot hatcheries, upon which members
ofCongress and bureau officials bill
let their mistresses and victims at the
public expense. l do not say, and
will not be understood as saying, that
all the lady employees are unchaste
but | do say that many of them are,
and most are suspected and all are
subjected to temptations thatLucrecia
could hardly resist, This thing of
official patronage and official station,
as favor by the rulers of
the land to females, is as great an aid
to seduction as opportunity itself
which sets
"The wolf where he the lamb may get."
Perhaps II is wrong to speak of
these things. II may be a skeleton
in the national closet that should not

A Captains Fortunate Discovery.

Capt. Coleman, schr. Weymouth,
plying between Atlantic City and N.
T., had been troubled with a cough
SO that he was unable to sleep and
was induced to try DR.. Kings New
Discovery for Consumption. 1t not on

the extreme soreness in his breast.
His children were similarly affected
and a single dose had the same happy
effect. DR.. Kings New Discovery

The snow storm of Thursday was
just the event to give the day its true
Thanksgiving quality. 1t is essentially
home holiday. and it is when the
stormy winds blow that the concentra-
ton of human comforts in the home
becomes most complete. Civilization
itself has been declared to be blossom
on snow-drift, and certainly those
peoples have excelled in all tbe provi-
dent virtues and faculties of progress
whose climate is not SO balmy as to put
them at ease as regards the future
wherewithal to eat aud to be clothed,
nor yet so frigid as to refuse due reward
to patient labor. So when the rain is
pelting or the snow is sitting down
through the gray atmosphere, the home
life seems to be an enjoyment of the
sweets accumulated by fOre-thOught
and prudent self-denial, and the light
wintry night as if the building was re-
joicing in its very heart. Comfort OBJ
tains its finest zest from contrast. The
rain upon the roof is pleasant remind
er of how good thing it is to have a
shelter; the howl of the wind in the
tees or around the house corner makes
the bed clothing seem to cuddle one
more warmly, and the scud of the snow
on the window panes adds gusto to the
feast within. Another suggestion that
such contrast makes to the sympathet-
ic heart is, Remember the poori

WHATEVER the Democrats may think
about it, President Cleveland refuses to
admit that the result of the recent elec-
tions was not an endorsement of bis
new-fangled policy. When Senator
voorhees, and ex-senator Mcdonald
called upon him at the White House
one day last week. and proceeded to
read His Excellency lecture on the
error of his Civil Service ways, and
pointed their lesson by the assertion that
the Democratic reverses in the Hoosier
State and elsewhere demonstrated that
the time was ripe for change of policy
on his part, he gave them the snub di+
rect and told them that the late Demo-
cratic defeats were due to factional
fights among themselves, and not to any
lack of admiration for the Administra-
ton and its policy.

lied all over the country with the view
of running Henry George for the Pres
idency in 1888. To the inquiry as to
what the party would do if it should Sc
cure the control of the Government, be
replied: "We would at once pass laws
taxing the land at its full rental value.
We should ask that the State demand
in taxes just the amount for which the
land itself would rent" This program
is very interesting one to tie farmers
of the country.

The Oldest aud Best.

The Saturday Evening Post, of Phila
delphia, enjoys the proud distinction of
being the oldest family and literary
paper in America, If not in the world.
Originally established by Benjamin
Franklin in I72S, and appearing in its
present character in 1921. it has had an
uninterrupted career of 15S years! As
its originator, Franklin. was one of the
first men of his time, both in ability aud
eminence, The Post has ever tried to
follow its founder, by carrying out dur
ing its whole course of existence the
best aims and highest purposes of a
family newspaper. In its management,
conduct and choice of reading material,
usefulness, purity, morality, progress
and entertainment have always been
its watchwords and its guides.
The history of The Post is the history
of American literature and authorship.
Not to speak of those who previous to
and after the War of the Revolution
made it power in the land, since 1921
there is hardly a writer famous in the
world of letters whose works have not
adorned its pages. Among these may
be mentioned Horace Greeley, Dickens,
Mrs. Southworth. Poe, Halleck, Bryant.
t. s. Arthur, Ned Buntline. Gilmore
Simms, Ann S. Stevens, Mrs. Henry
Wood and others.
For the coming year The Post has se>
cured the best writers of this country
and Europe. in prose and verse, fact and
fiction. In these respects as in the
past it will only have the best. Its
pages will be perfectly free from the
degrading and polluting trash which
characterizes many other so-called liter
sry aud family papers. Each volume
contains, in addition to its we'll edited
twenty-five first-clas seri+
ais, and upwards of five hundred short
stories. Every number is replete with
useful information and amusement.
Omprising tales. sketches biography,
anecdotes, statistics, facts, receipts,
hints. science, art, customs proverbs,
problems. personals, news wit and hum
NOR. historical essays, remarkable events,
recent discoveries, and a complete re-
port of all the latest fashions, novelties
in needle-work. and fullest and freshest
Information relating to personal and
home adornment, and domestic matters.
Terms $500 year in advance.
A specimen copy of this excellent
family paper will be sent free on appli-
cation.

PARTIsANsHIP on the part of feder-
al official is offensive only when it is d.
rected against the Democratic party, and
political activity is pernicious only un-
der the same circumstances. At least
this is the Presidents idea of the matter,
as is shown by his letter, in which he
refuses to reinstate District Attorney
VIM. A. Stone, of Pittsburgh, who was
removed for making political speeches.
Cleveland's idea of civil service seems to
be that it was designed to put Demo-
Gratis into offices and put Republican out.
