THE MORMON PRIEsTH0OD.

THE MORMON RHAE8EhOODs
 One of the objections that have been made to the admission of Utah into the Union as a State is the undue influence of priesthood over the Mormons. Mr. Charles W. Penrose, a prominent Nor mon, rises up to show that the Mormon priesthood is very harmless and powerless body. He says, in the Forum: The Mor- mon church itself is one of the most Demo- cratic ecclesiastical organizations on earth. It has not an officer, from the president down to the deacon, who occupies his posi- tion without the free vote and consent of the members. Captain Dutton refers to the Doctrine and CovenAnts" as Q source o4 Mormon authority. It is regarded as sa- cred book, and with the Bible and Book oi Mormon," forms the Mormon standard oi faith and discipline. It contains revelations to the church through their prophet, Joseph Smith. The following passages on organiza- ton are taken from that book: "Of the Mel ohisedek priesthood three presiding high priests, chosen by the body, appointed and ordained to that office, and upheld by the the conference. faith and prayers of the church, form 8 quorum of the presidency of
 
 the church. =. No person is to be or dained to any office in this church where there is regularly organized branch of the same without the vote of that church. . All things shall be done by common consent in the church by much prayer and faith, for all things you shall receive by faith"
 This Is plausible. but at least some mem bers of the Melchisedek priesthood do not take exactly that view of their position. The other day Elder Joseph E. Taylor said in 6 lecture on the priesthood: 'T have only touched upon few salient points of this in' exhaustible subject; for eternity alone car reveal the extent of the powers and authori' ty of this holy Melchissdek priesthood. Ex isting as it does without genealogical data and never having been begotten by men ol even God, yet 1t not only controls man but the godhead;" add the elder added with greai solemnity: "Seeing that we have been or dained to portion of this power, let us ust it as God would have us do." The Spring field Republican very properly comments upon this as follows: The Mormon ohurct may be in form one of the s'most Democratic ecclesiastical organizations on earth, bat ir spirit and practical manipulation it is one oi the most autocratic. This priesthood which was never "begotten by man" and is "with out genealogical data," teaches that ths divine law as promulgated by its sO-called revelations is above civil law. Thus 1t ii that the peoples party" which is the Nor mon political organization, never have a boil to contend with. Mormon mugwumps art unknown.

IT IS RIGHT TO KICK.
Better Do So Than submit to Being
 Imposed Upon.

Better Do So Than submit to Being Imposed Upon. have met the railroad hog great many | times, writes M. Quad in the Detroit Free Press. never meet him without making 8 kick. He is growing scarcer every day, and | sometimes fatter myself that have con- | tributed to drive him out. When left Tol- | edo for Cincinnati the other day the train was crowded and people were standing up in | every coach. In my car was man occupy | ing two seats. He had bad looking head on him, and he cared so little for our rights | that he not look up from his book. There l were five or us standing up, and said to the I group:
 "Gentlemen, there are three seats for | which have paid. Let us take possession" He'll kick and raise row." "But we'll kick and raise bigger one." "Yes, but what's the use of quarrelling | with hog?' "It is just such men as you who have made him hog. You have allowed him to impose on you until he has come to think he owns the railroad" Not one of the four would move. I went l to the other end of the car, where three \ women were crushed into one seat, picked up l 2.year old boy near by, and walked up to the hog and asked: "Have you paid for four seats heres"
 s'Thats my business" he promptly
 piled.
 "And mine and the public's."
 
 the woman and boy, and then crowded in be- side the hog. He made an awful row, but it was useless. Heewas left with what he had paid for, and we got what our tickets called for. Let every passenger kick on the railroad hog, and he must go. One day last spring there were 10 of us at hotel table in Nashville. The soup was seorched and no could eat it. Not po- tato brought to us was done. The milk for the coffee had turned. invited the others to go to the office and kick. They were drummers every one. but not one would go. When people speak of drummers as kickers they are way off. They will put up with more and do less complaining than any other class of men on earth. In the present case one of them spoke for all when he said: "Yes, things are bad and ought to be right ed, but we are here only for the meal and it won't pay us to kick" I went out alone The landlord was in the office, and asked: How long since you were in the dining roomF' "A week, I guess" "You don't oversee the meals?" "No."
 "Weu please go to the head table and taste the milk, examine the potatoes and smell of the soup" He departed at once When he returned he was hopping mad. The head waiter was called out and dressed down, the head cook got nicely peeled, and the landlord shook my hand and said; sfThat kick of yours will benit this house $5OOO. had no idea things were running thus"
 The natural inference with him was that as long as no one kicked everything must be going all right and everybody satisfied. | thousand men had no doubt gone away mad | and injured his house.

To be freed from the dangers of sufrocation while lying down; to breathe freely, sleep soundly and undisturbed; to rise refreshed. head clear, brain active and free from pain or ache; to know that no poisonous, putrid matter defes the breath and rots away the delicate machinery of smell, taste and hearing; to feel that the system does not, through it's veins and arteries suck up the poison that is sure to undermine and destroy, is indeed blessing beyond all other human enjoy ments. To purchase immunity from such a fate should be the object of all afflicted But those who have tried many remedies and physicians despair of relief or cure

 In recent letter to the Boston Herald MT. Frank A. Burr relates an interesting personal experience. The other night he found him- self in group which included three Demo- cratic members of the United States senate and three Democratic congressman, "all of them men of high position with the party" ;" The talk turned on President Cleveland. Says Mir. Burr: There was not friendly voice in the group, and one of the senators, one of the most distinguished men on the Democratic side, avowed that President Cleveland did not have an earnest friend among the Democratic leaders either in or out of congress. "We are forced to defend him when attacked on the floor of the house or senate" he said, "but it is that sort of defense which is only plea in abatement. How could it be otherwisea He has deliber- ately ignored the Democratic party and set himself up as the sole judge of it's policy and the sole purveyor to its powers. No man has yet lived in this country except this one who could do this and succeed. I don't believe he can. He may be elected, but if he is it will be by a scratch"
 The jute or cotton bagging trust may not be able to carry out it's schemes, as ingenious people are looking about for ways to circum- vent them. Perhaps the most successful substitute yet devised is that of the bagging made from cotton itself, which is as elastic as jute. as strong, as we'll adapted to covering cotton, and will stand hooks and presses and handling of all kinds, while it has one ad- vantage over jute, that it can be resold at a much higher price than second hand jute bagging can command. A test of its infam- inability was recently made in New Orleans under the direction of the New Orleans board of fire underwriters. For the purpose of a test three bales of the cotton covered with the new material and three covered with jute bagging were selected and fire was applied to them. The jute-eovered bales readily caught fire and the flames spread rapidly over the entire surface, while when a lighted match was applied to the bales covered with cotton bagging their apparently smooth surface ap- peared to offer nothing for the flame to seize upon and beyond the burning off of the loose end of the twine with which the wrappers had been sewed they received little injury. Several of the cotton manufactories have en- tered into the work of weaving this material, and the present outlook is that the jute bag ging trust will be compelled to greatly reduce the price of the commodity it is dealing in.

 And the rest of the passengers, who had been meditating wild break for the Eighth street station, listening to his remarks, real- ized that they had been fooled, but derived consolation from the thought that they had not been so badly fooled as those who started for Central Park and got of at stBeIIeecker street"

SEVEN GOOD REASONS.

For sound and logical reasoning,
the Rev. T. J. Reid, an orthodox
minister of Anoka, is entitled to q
respectful hearing. He publishes
the Beacon Light, a semi-religious
aud temperance journal, and in a
recent number we find the following
reasons for not voting the prohibition
ticket.
!, Your vote will so into the air.
2. This country does not need q
third party any more than carriage
needs a nth wheel, All needed re-
forms sought for by majority OF the
people can be secured through the
agency Of the two great political par
ties now in the field.
8. The cause of temperance Is best
served by the political party that en-
couFagss che oreation Of public senti-
ment and has eyer been ready to
move forward at the will of the ma
jority. No political party can go
faster than the warrant Of public
sentiment without laying its head
upon the block,
a. Temperance il to be sought for
by educational methods and not by
q political party. Men cannot be
made sober by legislation. The sa-
loon will not go until public senti-
ment Ia ready to force 1t out Of society,
This sentiment will not come through
political campaigning, but by gospel
| temperance and education,
8. The aim and daily boast of the
prohibition party is to kill the repub
lican party, and that has been thu
means of securing the temperance
legislation now existing In nartheYr
statsa, whila tho prohibition party
cannot point to one practical thing
yet accomplished for temperance
The motive Is too h h:.se to receive tn,
encouragement of an honest voter.

men and women refuse to endors

impracticable In It's methods and fan
atical In its utterances.
