McBRIDE's RABBIES.
He Elucidated to the Committee :
The Idaho Solons' Gall.

WASHINGTON, January 1.-the hear
ing by the House committee on Terri
tories on the claims OF the Territory of
Utah for admission ss State was con-
tinued to- day.
M'BRiDE's Rabies.
]. R. Mcbride, ofSaIt Lake City, adj
dressed the committee in opposition to
the proposition for admission. He
represented that he said what might be
termed the sentiment of the Territory;
wherever the Mormons are, for some
reason or another, they have been
unable 10 Get along with anybody ex-
cept their own people. Their history
has been one of constant struggle
against the people: an open rebellion
in the Territory of Utah against tie
law of the United States. lie cited
instances to show, as he claimed,
how thoroughly it was understood
that even titles to land came to the
people, not from the government, but
through the Mormon Church. Why is
it. he asked, that these people have
been unable to live in harmony with
any people against them. There was
no explanation except the one they
gave themselves: that their system OF
government was at war with others.
The theory OF the Mormon Church was
that all man-made governments were
| illegal. In one word, his objection to
the admission of Utah as State was
because he believed the majority of the
people of Utah are theocrats, who be-
| lieve in the government OF priesthood
and do not believe in any other system
OF government.
The further hearing was postponed
until Wednesday.
IDAHo's GALL.
Senator ingalls, to-day, before the
Senate presented memorial. from the
Legislature of Idaho, protesting against
the proposed admission of Utah. The
memorial says that the members OF
that Unreasonable organization known
as the Mormon Church largely out
number the loyal Gentle citizens of said
Territory" and, consequently WILL and
for many years to come would. have
absolute control OF all elections therein
that all pretences of the abandonment
of bigamy, polygamy and other crimes
against the laws Of the United States
are pretences, only made for the pur-
pose of deceiving persons unacc u ainted
with the abhorred practices of the Nor
mon Church, and thus create feeling
favorable to the proposed admission OF
said Territory.
The Utah Memorial also asks that q
legislative Commission be created toI
the government Of the Territory.

Who? Not coiamon sneak thieves-not
well known Jail birds; nor do they be-
long to the much abused Huns. But un-
fortunately belong to class who aspire
to be reckoned among honorable and hon
est people. Where are they from? Not
many of them from town, but from coun-
try districts in this and adjoining coun-
ties. Are they poor, and is it poverty
that drives them to commit acts that
should land them, one and all, into the
Penitentiary? No; but on the contrary
they are men and women who live well
and have plenty.
They belong to class of human vul-
lures who seem to think that the more a
community looses, the more it should
loose; and the greater its sufferings the
more easily does it become the prey of
the thieves and robbers. We have trust
worthy authority for saying that arm fuls,
basket fulls, and even wagon loads of
household and store goods have been car
ried into the country by these low-lived
vagabonds, that infested the town ever
since the flood. A farmer-an honorable

done. All valuables found on the bodies
were turned over to the committee on

The NO rk IN ,ru.Irin ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS
I'uI TO Work.
Although there has at no time been
large force of men employed in Cambria
borough. much progress has been made
toward cleaning up that town. For the
past two weeks only twenty men have
been employed. although the citizens have
appealed for more help. and they have
been promised sixty men time and again.
As the men have not been sent, the people
are beginning to feel that undue discriml-
nation is used against them.
The borough officials, however, are
alive to their duty, and ut a meeting Of
Council on Wednesday evening they de-
cided to ask General Hastings for picks,
shovels and other tools, so that they could
nut loafers to work. Accordingly yester-
day about a dozen yagrants were arrest
ed. and as they were unable to pay their
fines, guard wa placed over them with
a shot gun, and they were put to work on
the streets. A squad of militia under the
lead of the local police, paraded the
streets during the day and arrested every
idler they saw, and the effect of this radi-
cal treatment will no doubt prove bene-
fetal.

RIGHTS OF MARRIED WOMEN.

The complications arising on account
of the appearance of woman claiming
TO be the wife of the late c. Q. Grant
illustrates perilous state of affairs In
the transfer of real estate.
Grant had resided for several years in
Spokane Falls, and handled great deal
of property, presumably as n single
located, and upon some of it costly i'm
provements have been made, to say
nothing of the increase in value since
the sales. 1t was not known that
he had wife, and consequently
as the story goes, her signature to the
deeds was not obtained. OF course
such transfers are invalid in law and
the widow, if she establishes the fact
that she is his wife and legal heir, will
have strong claim upon the property.
Whether or not the deeds are Invalid,
or whether the widow becomes Joint
owner with the present possessors, or
whether she is entitled TO share in the
improvements and to the increase in
value, or whether the law gives her only
dover interest or an absolute title, with
power to transfer, are questions upon
which the lawyers are meditsting.
1t is agreed that had the discovery ofthe
existence of this wife been made before
the death of Grant he could have been
dealt with under the criminal code, but
there seems to be no recourse, under the
law, for the victims of his dishonesty or
ignorance, whichever IL may have been
that actuated him in making these ques-
tionable transactions.
OF course the second wife does not ap-
pear in this matter, provided the other
is the real wife and heir, although she
comes in for large share of the injury
wrought by his perfidity.
Grants transactions illustrate, more
forcibly than any other case
of recent occurrence, the to-
tai absence of security or protec-
ton to purchasers of real estate from un-
married men. Thus the law, which was
designed to protect the rights of married
women, works great injustice to honest
single men, and imperils the rights of
honest purchasers.
1t is easier, however, to point out the
defect than to suggest a remedy. IL would
seem that law might be framed cover
ing cases like this, wherein there was a
knowledge ON the wife's part of her
husbands whereabouts for number OF
years without making her existence
known to any one in the community.
Doubtless the next Legislature will make
an effort to afford some sort of protection
20 innocent purchasers of property wher
the existence of the sellers wife is un
known and cannot be ascertained,
