DISPATCHES to Republican journals say
that Frank Hurd's friends are trying to
persuade him not to run for Congress.

want him to run, and want him to be
elected. Men of his boldness snd ability

his speech and differences drawn by both
Democrats and Republicans, it would
seem that almost fanatic" is too strong

ways thought him, a proteclionist in pol

he comes before an audience made up of
Republicans and Democrat, he finds his
politics pulling him one way, and his
natural inclinations the other. So
he talks protection, denonnces Eng

how many converts to the
protective tariff theory he may have

young girls whom they designed to carry
out to Utah to help perpetuate the system
devised by the saints. Finding obstruc-
tions at home they have been searching
among poor families and the asylums Of

pernicious doctrines.
These children, Of ages ranging from
II to Is years, who arrived on the steamer
Wisconsin last Tuesday. have been or
dered returned to their homes by Collec
tor Magone.
A doubt has been expressed as to the
legal right Of the authorities to take
these children out Of the hands of their
custodians This is nonsense. The chll-
dren have no means Of support. They
are all under 10 years Of age II will
be fortunate for the elders IL they are
allowed 70 go free themselves and
are not held for an offense that may con.
sign them TO prison. At least one girl
twelve wears old, who is accompanied by
a brother Of fourteen, desired and in.
