Horse Car Trips.

To The Editor of the Press:
On Sunday, Congress street cars marked
"Munjoy Hill and West End" when coming
from the East End, are very often run over
into Spring street. AS there are no notices
posted on the cars it is an easy matter for
strangers who wish to go to Union Station,
to take one of these cars at Market Square,
pay their fare. and after riding few streets,
find they have taken the wrong car l think
the street car company should have proper
notices posted over such Congress street cars
as are to be run on Spring street. Then
a wrong car. There was a time, perhaps.
when every person in the city knew all
about the running Of the street cars, and did
not need to be told where this car or that
car went. That time has gone by and Port
land is a city. Let the street car company
keep pace with the times

Child Injured.

A party of small children attempted to
jump on dray while passing up Franklin

out injury. A little girl had her skirts caught
upon hook in the end of the dray and was
dragged quite distance through the street.

the attention of the teamster, who quickly
stopped she team and released the child,
who was taken charge of by kind lady,

On Which Side?


Our friends the enemy clamor for cheaper
clothing and quote London prices. But they
neglect to tell us why clothing is so cheap
over the water. A writer who has inyesti-
gated the subject says
Il have seen heavy workmens trousers made
lined, finished and hotpressed with two pockets
and seventeen large buttons, for 2i4d (415 eents)
pair, while painters jackets, made of holland
with pockets and buttons complete are eagerly
competed for by starving women (London) who
make them for 434 d (91s cents). The utmost a
woman can do at this work is TO make two in
three days"
There is probably quarter millions dol
lars worth of sale clothing made annually
by the industrious wives and daughters OF
York county. and goodness knows the prices
they get are low enough; but do they desire,
or do their husbands and brothers desire to
have then, compete with these starving
English women? Cheaper clothing means
not only injury to the farmer who
produces the wool, but horizontal
cut down in the price of manufacturing
clothing. As General Harrison well said,
there is possibility of making things too
cheap. Prices of clothing or anything else
that are not large enough to insure the work
men fair day wages and the manufacturer a
fair return for his money, are too low, and
not only impoverish but tend to cheaper
and brutaliZe wage-earners.
This Is what the free traders are contend.

are contending against

The Downfall Of PoIygamy,

To the Editor of the Press:
The article in yesterdays issue of the
PRESS, headed death Blow to Polygamy,"
is hardly correct in some of its statements.
The article in question is copied from the
Providence Journal. AS have never seen
the real cause of the death blow to polyga-
my stated in the public prints perhaps it
might be of interest to your readers to know
it as l learned it from United States officials
while was at Salt Lake City last winter.
When Brigham Young founded what is
now the Territory of Utah not only did no
white man live on the Territory, but there
had been no survey of the land by the
United States government. Long after
wards the parallels of the survey were ex-
as the Territory of Utah. Before this sur
vey was completed the Norman elders had
plotted out areas of land for their various
churches, scattered over the Territory, as
well as streets and lots in Salt Lake City
Upon these areas and upon these lots costly
States government had completed its survey
the land was opened up under the presump-
ton and homestead laws which required no.
tice OF entry to be filed at the land Office.
The Morm0ns ignoring the claim of the
United States government to the land occu-
pied by them refused or neglected to enter
such at the United States land office Conse-
quently all the land upon which Mormons
have erected their costly church and other
buildings is owned and held by the United
States government, subject to entry and fl
ing by any person who may so desire under
the law of the United States.
Some two or three years ago the Mormons
were notified by United States officials that
they were trespassers. That this condition
of affairs caused CONSERVATION may well be
imagined A temporary arrangement was
made with them whereby they might con-
tinue to occupy and improve at nominal
lease and the whole question was carried in
to the courts for adjudication. 1t was stated
to me by the highest United States official at
Salt Lake City that if the Mormons Will
emasculate the system of polygamy and
tithing from their church constitution they
may be allowed to make entry at the United
States land Office on all the lands now occu-
pied by their buildings.

Cen. Greedy Explains.

Gen. Greedy has risen to explain why his
prediction that the hottest weather would &C.
cur between July 14th and 18th was not YER
lied. He says that the severe storms of
wind and rain which have swept the count
ny from west to east brought cool weather.
Heated spells come after protracted dry sea-
sons; but when the earth is moist from ex-
cessive rain, it is absolutely impossible for
a sufficient quantity Of heat to be accumulate
ed to overhead the air in its evaporation. 1t
was impossible to predict the storms and
that is why his prediction was not fulfilled.
