A Race OF Primitive Aztecs.

MEXICO. April Ga party of Catho-
lie missionaries will shortly leave this
city Cor Southern Mexico with a view
to converting the Lacondous. q wild
tribe OF Indians %. 600 In number, scat
tered over portions of the States of
Campeche, Tapasco aud Yucatan.
They are reported TO preserve the relig-
ious and social customs OF the Aztecs
in their primitive purity. Ie II said
that they still offer human sacrifices to
their gods. The country which they
inhabit has never been explored, but
there lie a popular legend in the State of
Tabssco that in the heart OF Its forests
the Lacondons poss a city with temples
and 5Azaars, such as we're found by the
Spaniards in Aztec cities on their nrst
landing fn Mexico. Few whi, g men
have penetrated this region and none
dons were never subdued by the Span
iards. and few attempts have been made
to subjugate them Since Mexico be-
cam. independent they have held them
selves absolutely sloof from all inter-
course wit Europeans. The enterprise
OF the missionaries Is considered ex-
tremely perilous. The Government
favors the conversion OF the Indians.
Catholicism will render them more
amendable to civil Jurisdiction. The
party Is composed of PsssioList and
Jesuit fathers, and their mission has the
direct sanction Of the College Of the
Propaganda at Rome rs well az OF the
Archbishop and bishops in Mexico.
Catholic organs point to the undertak-
ing as proof that the spirit of zeal and
self-sacrifice among the Catholic clergy
Is as active to-day as in the times of st.
Francis Xavier and his associates.

Hon. Roscoe CoNKLING died in the
city of New York, at O'Clock. on last
Wednesday morning. He was bort in
Albany in October 1929, read law in
Utica, Oneida county, and was elected
to Congress in 1853, where he served
until 1867, when he was elected to the
United States Senate and was Ie-elect-
ed in 1873. His quarrel with President
Garfield in 1881 led to his resignation OF
his seat in the Senate and failing OF a
where he turned his attention to the
practice OF his profession in which he
attained great and eminent success.
He was great orator and as a public
man his character for integrity was
pure and unblemished. Mr.. Conkling
was one of the victims os blizzard
Monday" as it is called in New York,
which occurred in that city and
throughout the Northeastern States
in the beginning OF March. He went
to his office in the morning OF that day.
ana after dark, finding that he could
not get bed at a hotel or hire q car
riage for love or money, he started to
walk to his stopping place which was
nearly two miles away. His struggle
through the dreadful storm was too
much for his stalwart frame. He was
soon compelled to take his bed where he
made gallant fight FOR life until death
relieved him of his sufferings. His
only child, married daughter, survives
him. His widow is a sister of the late
Ex-Governor Horatio Seymour, OF New
York, who was the Democratic candi-
date for President in 1865.

ANOTHER Republican candidate for
the Presidential nomination has come
TO grief. This time it is Gen. Joe Haw-
ley, United States Senator from Con-
necticut. He has been President of the
recently defunct American Exchange
in London since 1881. It's chief mana
ger, one Gillig by name, managed to
swindie the depositors out of hundreds
OF thousands OF dollars, although Hsw-
lev, under the circumstances, could not
have known anything about Gillig's dis
honest methods. His connection with
the concern, however, even it he was
merely a figure head and had only lent
it the influence of his name, has placed
him in very unpleasant position, aud
is regarded as practically taking him
out or the Presidential race.

The claim of John Vice. a resident OF
Owingsvilie. KY. who served as a private

The Humble MOrmOns.

The Mormons have just been holding
their annual conference. In the pIin-
cipal paper read before it-a letter Ot
Wilford Woodruff In behalf of the
Twelve Apostles-no mention is made
of polygamy. This is an omission which
no one who Las hitherto spoken AZ the
representative of the Apostles at these
yearly meetings has ever before made.
The attention OF the outside world 10
particularly called 10 this fact by Salt
Lake correspondents who are favorably
disposed towards the Saints" +" and IL is
further reported that when q young
elder ventured in the conference to de-
fend polygamy be WAS censured therefor
openly.
These things 60 far to prove, the peo-
pie OF the United States are informed,
that the Mormocs are sincere in their
declarations that they have abandoned
polygamy. The Mormons have a special
reason just nc present for desiring this
impression TO prevail. They have q bill
before Congress for the admission Of
Utah to the Union under Constitution
framed at Salt Lake last summer. In
this polygamy is prohibited prohibi-
tion which Is not worth the paper it is
written on, since under State govern
ment the Mormons woald have every
thing in their own hands aud would use
their own sweet pleasure in executing
the laws, or for that matter repeating
them.
But polygamy Is only a small part Of
the objection TO the admission of Utah.
Were she made State the government
would be absolutely in tue hands of the
rulers OF the Church The elections
would be a farce. Laws would be
passed Strengthening the control OF the
few over the msuy in business as we'll as
political matters, and the Gentiles
would have such a hard time of 1t that
many of them would soon emigrate.

its members a hieIsrchy.-N Y. World.

Mr.. BIaine's Health.

The circumsuaDtial statements about
Mr.. BIaine's shattered health recently
given In the newspapers which always
give the news as it is and not as they
would prefer to have it, have called out q
chorus Of indignant denials through Mr..
Blaine's special organs, chiefly from
those who have little opportunity to
know the exact truth aud who could be
most readily commanded TO meet sud-
den oli.ical emergency. There 10 no
denial from Mr.. Blaine none from any
member of his family accompanying him
and none from any physician who has
seen or treated him abroad, while many
letters lately received from Americans
in Europe OF devoted attachment to
Mr.. Blaine. agree in saying that his
health is terribly shattered and that his
travel and rest abroad have failed to in
crease either his physical or mental
vIgor.
The imputation Of partisan motives
to public journals which have correctly
stalled the condition of Mr.. Blaine's
health, Is most inconsiderate. There In

land who would not renomILate Mr..
Blx:ne as the Republican candidate for

JOHN 4. LEMON, who IS a native Of
Cambria couny, but who mas lived in
Hollidays5urg ever since he was half
grown boy, was a candidate at the Re
publican delegate elections in Blair
county on Saturday last for the nomin-
alton for State Senator. His two op-
ponents were Benjamin l.. Hewitt, of
Hollidaysburg, and Edmund Shaw, Of
Altoona, the latter being one of the
Republican members OF the Legislature
from Blair county. The contest was
exceptionally bitter and exciting, and
highly colored stories are told about the
free use of money and the free consump-
tion Of beer and whiskey which were
furnished the voters of the Grand Old
Party in Blair by Lemon and his friends
in order to make his nomination a sure
thing. Whatever was the cause there
is not the least doubt as to the result,
as Lemon carried all the four wards of
Hollidaysburg over Hewit-had more
delegates in Altoona than Shaw and
Hewitt combined, and in the entire
county carried 81 OF the I36 delegates.
1t is also charged that Lemon had q
Democratic "side show" to his big Re-
publican tent on Saturday, and that the
tricks played In the first named enclosure
were "rich, rare and rscy." 1t has al
ways been so when John A. Lemon
wanted Democr attic votes In Blair coun-
ty, either at delegate or a general
election, when he was a candidate for
State Senator. We have a most vivid
recollection of the vote in Blair county
generally, in 1875, and in Hollidaysburg
especially, when Cyrus L. Perishing
was the Democratic candidate for Gov
ernor aud John A. Lemon ran for the
State Senate, but we refrain from going
into details for the simple reason that
we couldn't come within gunshot OF
doing justice to the subject.
