admission of Utah IS State into the Union
uutil it is certain that polygamy has been
entirely abandoned by all the inhabitants OF
that territory. If Utah contain the re
quisite population it should be admitted;
and Congress has no more right to exclude
it because some of its people believe in the
polygamous practice of the patriarchs, than
it would have to keep any other territory
out because the people thereof might be-
leve in any OF the other now generally
abandoned pairiarchal practices. II the
spirit of the bill referred to should prevail,

yerted to the condition of excluded terrific

THE DEMOCRATS ofthe manufacturing city
of Newark, n. ], have declared for the
Presidents low tariff policy, and against Mr..
Randall's protective tariff bill. The Newark
democrats, ike those of all other cities, are
working people. and msn3 of them are EN-.
ployed in the protected factories there. They
have realizing sense of the fact that pro.
lection does not protect labor, and they
therefore declare for low tariff. Nobody
pretends that the tariff affords the slightest
protection to the Virginia farmers; but yet
men whom those farmers elect to represent
them in their legislatures and conventions
declare for protection. But there is nothing
too inconsistent for human nature.

To AN interviewer in Florida on the sub
iect of the democratic nomination Tor the
yice-Presideucy, Gov Lee said The South
has nevsr ASKED for any place on the ticket
but has voted solidly for Northern men,
and will do it again if necessary, but 1t Is
time {oy us to receive some recognition"
In view of the fact that the South supplies
more than three fourths Of the votes that
elect national democratic tickets, it Is pass
ing strange that there are not more promi'
nent Southern msn who talk on the subject
referred to as Governor Lee does. But, un'
fortunately for ;he South, many of her citi'
zsns who have attained prominence are so
intent upon doing nothing that may be at
all Objectionable to Northern South haters,
that they lose sight entirely OF the rights
and privileges of their own section. The
delegates from the South to the St. Louis
convention should demand that the candi-
date for Vice President be Southern msn.

10 provide for worlds exposition at Wash.
iugton in 1892, aud thereafter for aperma.
nent exhibition Of the three Americas in
honor of the 400th anniversary of the dis.
covery of America. Every Virginian in
Congress should do all in his power to pro-
mote the passage Of this bill; for shonld it
pass Virginia would be sure to reap some Of
its benefits. OF the hundreds of thousands
of people who would be attracted by the
exposition to Washington, many would come
to Virginia, and the attractions of the State
are so great that many would remain. The
desire of the visitors to go 10 Mt. Vernon
would also necessarily promote the construc-
ton of both the Mt. Vernon Avenue and
the bridge at Arlington.

city: ''There are three classes of children not to
be found in these schools. The first is the only
child of indulgent parents; the child who thinks
the world was made for its benefit, and whose pa
rents think their darling must not be brought into
contact with these schools. The second is the
class who are mentally incapable or too INDECENT to
perform the work of these schools; and the third
is the child who is vicious and is not permitted,
even though wealthy, to attend these schools"
Experience teaches us that the children from the
''slums of city, do not as rule, enjoy school
privileges. This class of unfortunates, surrounded
from birth by misery, want and vice, do not wish
to attend do their parents care to send them to
school. That crime exists the world over, call

much has been done to connteract its evil influences
and much remains yet to be accomplished. One

snowy SUBMITS of the mountains, the herdsman
who dwels on the loftiest peak takes his horn and

repeat the words. This often continues quarter

the name of Cod Solemn stiffness follows and

EDITOR OF WoMANs CHRONICLE 10 the girls
and women who do not know how to busy them

their work is done, would say few words. 1
was recently entertained in pleasant home, where
the hostess and her young lady sister complained
of time dragging on their hands They were COM
parativey speaking, strangers in the place, having
moved there but few months before. The idea
Of having more time than one knew what to do
with was something new to me, for l never find
half enough time to accomplish what really want
to, and often sigh for more.
There is a work waiting for each and all Of you,
my sisters. Do not waste your time in an idle,
useless way. As a noted lecturer said the other
evening, "The time has gone by when women
should devote their whole time to darned lace,
crocheting embroidering dogs and cats on tides,
or reading light literature" We must be up and
doing This is woman's century, and she who
negects to use the talents God has given her. must
account for it when the day Of reckoning comes.
Is there nothing you can do to tighten the burdens
OF some overworked or weary mother? Can you
not teach few children, whose mother has no
time or, what is worse, no inclination, to darn their
stockings or mend their clothes? If you are a
good reader you might read to some invalid or
blind person for an hour or two each week. You
might take flowers or some delicacy to an invalid
There are thousand ways in which you could
help others, and in that way you would make your
selves much happier. II you are not member
of the W. G. t. u, or Y. W. G. T. u, you could
join one of those societies and thus lend your in
huence and strength for "God and Home and Ma

hands and loving hearts, and she who cannot find
it must be very blind indeed.

much more satisfaction in the former. / do not
ask you to neglect your families, please re-

and there are many, very many, who idle away
hours and hours that could be spent more pleas

The Head of London,s Police.


 The supreme chief of the police and de- tectives is Sir Charles Warren, man who has not the first qualification, either by na- ture or education, for the position he fills. " of primogeniture. Sir Charles has been 8 soldier and served with fair credit, but had no executive experience or knowledge of of fee detail when he was placed in charge of the force of the greatest city in the world. If he had been man content to pose as fig ure-head and allow the reins to be really held by capable lieutenants, not much harm would have been done, but unfortunately he is gouty, irasoible, stubborn old martinet, who insists upon managing affairs solely to suit himself He must certainly have suc- ceeded, for he has suited nobody else. In person Sir Charles could be best described as beefy. He looks like the English comedy major one sees on the stage, retired on half pay, who swears by the Times and sWears at everything else. He is said to have urged the secretary not to offer 8 reward in the Whitechapel affair, which is probably the case, as such step would bring multitude of shrewd private detectives into the case, and Scotland Yard is not fond of rivalry. A rather curious fact, but one that explains away a good deal of failure, is that the best men of the office are constantly at work on political matters. In the turbulent state of British politics the party in power always has plenty of detective work to be done, and the government resources are at their dispo- sal. Such thing is almost inconceivable in this country.

 the halter, the saddler, etc., were reduced to
 bankruptcy Carey. The alienation of the American colonies was very largely due to her tyrannical policy of refusing them permission to manufacture. David H. Mason. It is time we should become little more Amerieanized and instead of feeding the pau pers and laborers of Europe feed our own. Andrew Jackson.
 The stuff and serge manufactures which employed 1 ,491 operatives have been de- stroyed. The calico looms of Balbriggan have been destroyed.-Thomas F. Meagher Independence on the basis of the produo tive industries and laborious arts of the coun. try.-Edward Everett. The people of the manufacturing States had no alternative but to emigrate or to man ufacture.-John 0. Calhoun. An Alabama steel manufacturer has placed upon the market 8 sample of the finest quail | ity of razor made in Atlanta from Alabams ! steel.-Irish World. The want of an efficient government to se ! cure manufacturing interests and advance commerce was long seen by men of judgment \ and pointed out by patriots.-Fisher Ames
