ALEXANDRIA GAZETTE.

The GAZETTE, chronologically,
is in the NINETIETH year of its ex.
istence, and is not only the oldest
paper in the State, but, with few
exceptions, in the country.
Notwithstanding the fitness Of
its years, it has kept, and will con-
tinue to keep, abreast of the timea
in all that pertains to a NEWS paper,
furnishing its readers daily with
perfect mirror Of passing events,
domestic and foreign.
Its facilities for obtaining news
as they increase are taken advan.
tage of and used for the benefit of
its readers, who are thus kept
thoroughly posted as to all that is
Of interest politically, socially, f.
nancially or commercially.
Special attention is given to mat.
tiers concerning the State and its
welfare, while its local columns
contain all that is Of the slightest
interest to Alexandrians.
Its regular correspondence from
Washington and Richmond are fea.
lures Of peculiar interest, as attest
ed by the eagerness with which
they are read and copied by other
papers, while its editorial depart
ment, conducted with reference to
the best interests Of the city, State
and country, will continue to adj
vocate what is believed to be right,
just, honest and patriotic.
With a view to the interest of
merchants, farmers and all inter-
ested, its commercial columns are
carefully edited and its market re-
ports are acknowledged by all to
be faithful and accurate.
Through all this section of the
State, and in all parts of the coun-
try where Virginians have located,
there will the GAZETTE generally
be found, and thus as an advertis-
ing medium it has few equals out
side the large cities.
In the household, counting room
and workshop it is an ever-welcome
visitor, acceptable alike to old and
young, the grave and the gay.

Gibson went to his home 90 New Jersey
avenue, Washington, Saturday night. he met
3 warm reception. The silverware had
been tied up in a table cloth, and every

The colonel didn't move, and the self posses.

lar value, though he had made preparations
for profitable burglary.

THE MOKMONS

An inquiry going ON before u. >.
Judge Anderson, at Salt Lake City,
Utah, for several days past, to determ-
Inc whether alien Mormons are eligible
for citizenship, is bringing out facts
that show that polygamy is far from
the worst feature Of Mormonism that
ought to receive the attention of the
government. Certain secrets of the
Endowment House" revealed by both
male and female witnesses, show that
the orgies of that establishment, its
barbarous and reasonable oathS, in
pure deviltry exceed anything we read
of in anarchist lodges or Triangle con
claves. 1t is certain that the Nor
mon church maintains its iron rule
over all its members, and wherever
such control comes even remotely in
conflict with the laws of the United
States, the latter are brushed aside
and treated with the utmost contempt.
A case is given where a Mormon
named Green, with his family, with
drew from the Church, intending to
return to their old Eastern home. The
man was forbidden to do SO, and dis
obeying was sentenced to death and
actually murdered.
A bishop was tried in the endow.
ment house and severely punished for
obtaining "A judgment in U. s. Court
against another member of the church,
the church assuming control of all
such temporal as well as spiritual af-
fairs.
Such acts as half-masting the L. S.
flag on the 4th of July, trailing the
flag in the dust in public professions,
insulting U. S. officers, etc, etc, are
mentioned as of constant occurrence.
In word, the revelations are so start

unscrupulousness of his great prede-
cessor, the thrifty Cakes Ames, the

DESTROYS to be placed on certain com

he has deep personal interest. To
this end he has written letters to all
the candidates for speaker pledglng

the understanding that he is to be
placed on the committees he names.

of responsibility, had the same favor
conferred on a few prominent men,
like Senator Henderson.
IL was also with a view TO give IL
strength as well as responsibility, that
the system was enlarged 50 as to EN-

scattered all over the country. These
were the whole list of pensioners FOR
Slight disabilities, ranging from u

themselves, these were re-rateds To

or course on the poorer pensioners
this must work endless hardship. Most
of them receiving the back pay, being
poor men, have expended it and are
unable to refund. In such cases, the
requirement is that the pensions lcgit-
imately due shall be withheld and their
quarterly allowances credited to them
until the allowance they illegally re-
ceiyed is made good. 1t is equivalent
to suspension of all pensions for
wears in hundreds of cases where the
little quarterly stipend of the soldier

Gen. Lew. Wallace, writing on the
Military Academy, will suggest that
the system of instruction there be eX-
tended through the whole army, by
making each military post a school Of
instruction. In this way an efficient
set of officers would be created, and
at the same time it would relieve the
terrible ennui that attacks the men in
quarters.

As TO MORALS.

To the men who know Rose, his cry
that nothing appears in his columns
"to offend public morals is supremacy
ridiculous. His papers have so often
been suppressed by the police that he
ought to know what is moral or decent
but he does not No paper, no man,
can be either moral or decent who en-
JOYS the earnings of IA lottery, partlcu-
larly the man who pockets the money
obtained by that kind of gambling
and then avoids his agreement with
the ticket holders. The Louisiana
swindle is honest enough to give the
drawing advertised.
When Rose shall have returned to
the subscribers the money he obtained
from them by the false pretcncc that
ne would rattle off team of horses
and other property, which he has not
done and cannot now do, the property
being mortgaged, he may be able TO
talk of himself as moral. As it stands,
he is sclf-conycted Of swindling the
public.
His very existence is "A taunt to the
moral sense of the community; for If
Rose is permitted to consummate this
swindle, is not the temptation offered
to Others to obtain money in the same
way--a way the State has declared to
be subycrsive of the morals of the
community, and, therefore, prohibits?
Further, at the very time when he
was sending this team over the coun-
ty, showing it off as bait to tempt
men, by the promise of chance in Il
drawing for the team, to give him the
money, the team was not his property
but was the property of another by
virtue of IA bill Of sale. The team was
on parade, but it was not in his power
to rattle it off rs per his advertisement.
Is this such an example of good
morals as the moral people of Ottawa
like to have set up before their sons
for emulation repeating and en-
phasizing the claim that IA gambling
device prohibited by the statute may
20 unpunished-is a praiseworthy bus
mess transaction? that money gotten
/ by means Of such swndle is the hon
est, legitimate profits of business
What, indeed, can be clearer exam
pie Of unrebuked public immortality
than this very prize team record of
this fellow Rose
Morals, Rose hasn't the slightest
conception of what the word means.

The report that the heads of the new
Brazilian republic had declared univer-
sal suffrage, is to be accepted with
important notifications. The proper
ty qualification by which suffrage in
Brazil had heretofore been limited is
abolished, but in lieu of it an educa-
tional qualification is presented, SUI
frage being confined to those only who
can read. AS not over 20 per cent OF
the population of the country can read
or write, the limitation is no doubt
safe and wise.

When Bishop Whipple, Of Minncso-
to, denounced the government Indian
schools as fraud on the Indians and
a disgrace to the government, he prob
ably had in view some such case as
that of the Indian school at Salem,
Oregon. IT is quite large school,
and the principal gets good salary.
Now J. G.. Blaine has brother there
whose dissipated habits have long
made him a burden on his brother and
to save the family name from
disgrace, the latter induced him to
cha nge his name to M. G.. Lane, by
which alone he is known in Oregon.
But TO get him off Of the Maine states
mans hands. this vagabond brother
has been placed at the head of the
Salem Indian School, replacing very
worthy and competent teacher. Com
mcnt is unne ceSSary.
