THE IDAHO OATH,

Below is copy of the electors oath
10 which citizens in Oneida County,
Idaho, were required to subscribe be-
fore they could be registered. It may
be in strict accordance with the law;
of that we have nothing to say, but we
ask the Idaho men who are responsible
for such law being in the books, if
they do not feel ashamed of themselves
when they think of such an oath being
applied to American citiz ,nsS We un
derstand that in some counties the oath
used was even worse than this one, and
in certain precincts the registrars went
beyond the law and even refused to let
citizens subscribe to the oath. Read
this, and then reflect on.the fact that
In the American Republic thousands
of citizens who had broken no law
were obliged to take it before they
were permitted to exercise the right of
franchise:

UNLESS correspondent of Navarro
County, Texas, has been falsifying the
returns, on the Sd instant, Mrs. Judge
Hirsch. of that county, gave birth to
six children. The reporter says he
visited the place on the 6th,s ane found
about 100 people present, all examin-
ing the brood of babies. There are
four boys and two girls. The father.
George Hirsch, is 81, and his wife 81.
They have been married five years,
and have three children besides the re-
cent accession. Hirsch is of German
descent, and has named the boys Fred
erick, Mills, Cleveland and Thurman.
The girls are Victoria and Louise. All
are perfectly proportional, but very
small The babies all seem healthy,
The Hirech family is poor, and the
mother is a large, healthy woman.
The babies are all tagged to preserve
their identity.

THE MoRmONs AND CANADA.

The Ottawa correspondents of some of
the eastern papers elaborate on the i'll
cident mentioned in our tele. ms the
other morning, that Messrs. Smith,
Taylor and Lyman were at the Do
minion capital to confer with the gov
eminent about Mormons settling in
Canada. The New York SUMS man
represents the elders named as saying
They have promised the government TO re-
nounce their doctrine OF polygamy, and
strictly adhere to the laws of the land
They say they are Christians in every sense
of the word, believing IN Jesus Christ, and
only differ from other Christians in their
acceptance of modern as well as ancient
revelations They complain pitt 'rly of the
persecution they have been subjected to by
the United States government
Their colonies are, prospecting everywhere
IN spite of this persecution, and adherents
to their belief number over 100000 souls.
They are most anxious to bring over large
number of the faithful Into Canada next
spring, and say that if Sir John Macdonald
does the right thing for them they will flock
into the nOrthwesU by the thousands next
yeaT.
Mr.. St"nehouse, who recently resigned his
se4tin the British Columbia Legislature to
become Mormon, is now an active worker
among SQe more recent converts. They say
their time for living in Utah is practically
over, and some new field must be found
where they can establish themselves against
pei. ecutioD, which they think they will be
secure from in Canada. They say that the
enforcement of the law against polygamy
in Utah has struck a serious blow at their
sect. which, however, will be equally as
stringently enforced in Canads, but the
blow dealt by the Supreme Court of Utah,
which pronounceS the dissolution OF the
Church and confScates most of its property
Tor school purposes is the one which most
deeply affects their society. By this deci-
sion they say the Church loses all its build
iDgs excepting its churches. and is deprived
of its right to maintain mill airy and police
systems It's hold upon the people of Utah
hes thus been effectually loosened by the
courts.

HalJ Lake I

The national election has been held
and the ballots counted. tbs known
who have teen chosen and the red fire
has been seen. No more campaign
k is to be performed. The Repub-
licsns have talked themselves out, and
the natural inference is that the Demo
Gratis don't want to talk. General
Harrison has nearly four months in
which to select his Cabinet and prepare
his inaugural address. 1t is assumed
that he will not cali Congress TO meet
before the time for the regular session
in December. $780, being content to
hold the Senate long enough to confirm
the few nominations he will care to
make at the beginning of his term.
The local election has Ialso been held,
and while the votes have not been can
vassed it is known who has been elected.
There will be no red fire over the result
here. Parties and candidates, we take
it, feel more like INDUCING in blue fire
than any other kind. In Utah there'll
be no more political campaigning be-
fore next summer when the Legislative
election will occur.
Having finished with politics for some
time, why wouldn't it be wise for every
body to turn in and try to recover the
ground that has been lost during the
weeks and months when all were
engrossed with politics? The summer
hasn't been very progressive one for
Salt Lake City, in an industrial sense.
A good many bricks have been laid, it
is true, and the visitors have been
fairly numerous, but no great enter
prises have been undertaken, and the
permanent immigration will hardly be
worth boasting about.
A year ago "times" were lively
enough in Salt Lake, and we were
threatened with boom" The boom
didn't come, and times have not been
very encouraging. If a general effort
shall be put forth, perhaps more life
can be infused into things, and the year
be made to go out with more and better
promises than anyone has seen lately.
a boom is not desirable, but greater in
dustrisl activity would certainly be
welcome, especially by the men who
labor with their hands fer day wages,
and who must soon lay off for the win
fer unless there shall come along some
thing to give them employment.
Now, you gentlemen of enterprise,
and of resource in worthy schemes, de-
wise some plan for making Salt Lake
lively and progressive during the
winter, and for giving it good start in
the spring, National politics has
been shelved for time, and there is no
local politics that will tro1ble any
body for many months to come. Hence
it is good time for useful work.

A CORRESPONDENT asks: "If General
Harrison were to die before the meet
ing of the Electoral College, would ii
be necessary to have another election,
or would Morton be chosen PRESIDENT"
In the event Of General Harrison s
death, the electors would be free to
select any other man, and they would
not necessarily be bound to taker Nor
ton, though hey would probably do
so.

feat Harrison in the Chicago Con-
vention, and the Republicans were so
lukewarm in his support that the State
came within an ace of being carried by

wonderful, the number of singular things

took time by the forelock, assembled
themselves, and elected two delegates
