At session of congress an appropria

At session of congress an sppropria ton was made for tbe purchase of ar industrial home at Salt Lake City. The thought vas suggested through . spiri, of philanthropy m view of the acton oi congress. divorcing the plural wive. within the territory. Something had to done to provide for the contingencies which must necessarily result from the operation of the law, which would un. settle the domestic condition of the Mormon women living in polygamy. A plurality ot wives could be provided for under one roof. but family segregated would entail hardship on some one. That humane idea was promoted and an act was passed for the purchase or erec- tion Of an industrial home for the vid- ows-in-!aw. and the young children with light employment and the freedom oi homes, upon their announcement of polygamy. The home has been opened for two years but not liberally patronissd. Plural wives. forced to abandon their own homes. have returned to theparental roof or adopted some other method of existence.

An opinion recently rendered by the United States supreme court may serl ously affect the status of more than , hundred thousand cases in the mineral division of the general land office In a case which was aojudicated, the court decided that where m oath is re. qulred by the federal statutes, it can be administered only by an officer of the United States. Hence notary public being . state officer. cannot administer oaths to United States officials excep, when the statutes specially state that oath may be made before such state officials. Deputy mineral sprveyors have for years sworn to the correctness ot their state ments before notaries public. During the last four yeara . large number ol cases have been recorded tor patent at the general land oSce. where final proof vas not made before the proper officer designated by lav tor the purpose.

 Complaints have been made to the president by the Germsn-Americans that they had not received full recoeni- ton in appointments to public office. He replied m substance that he was friendly towards them, and had no doub, that the German-Americans would soon be satisfied, as he had no desire to slight or wrong them. It occurs to the ordinary American mind that citizenship implies the remuneration of all alien lean. ings, and that claims for political prefer ment should not be advanced on the ground of nationality.
 The utihtarian character of our people is amply illustrated 5y the exhibits we have sent to the Paris exposition. The first truth that is suggested to the mind. IS that the American sense of construc- uon. is superior to the European, but tha, the decorative sense IS inferior. They sur. pass the rest of the world in mechanism, but the adjuncts of beauty and taste are dull in the national thought The work of our artisans is indisputably more in- telligent in the directness of method and economy of labor, bat Is crude and in sipid in taste.

He intended to marry again, and has naturally some hesitancy in announcing his approaching nuptials to his daugh- ters, all of whom are intensely devoted to him., and the news to them at first was something of a shock.

 Some days ago convention ot nine tenths of the copper mining interests oi this country was held in New York. Their object was to reach an agreement with the foreign bankers. who hold Iso.ooo tons oi copper. But theT efforts have tailed, and VIC may before long witness a disstrous copper var. As we'll aS we can judge the situation from this dis tance. foreign bankers hold the copper which . foreign syndicate contracted with copper miners throughout the world to buy their export output at I3Is cents up to January 1889. Payment was guaranteed by letters of credit in prominent banking houses. The Bank of France on . 10000. 900 francs claim. became the assignee of the col lspsed syndicate. The foreign bankers are rich and hold Iso. 900 tons Of cop per. the supply ot the world for a year, and if they threw it in the market ter rible slaughter in prices would result. On the other hand they have bought al I3H cents and they intend to get as near that price as possible. They conld do it, as they suggest the American mine owners shall reduce their export 70 per cent from the figures of last year. The American mine owners may do this Il their claim tn another direction be a. lowed.
 The Americans want share tn the assets of the defunct syndicate, as they consider themselves creditors of that concern, from the fact that they have contracted to deliver copper at I3H cents up to January 1891, and that ow- ing to the failure of the syndicate, they will possibly have ,o sell under that price. and thus lose money under the contract. The foreign bankers fai to appreciate the position of the American claimants, and this IS the cause of con tention.

The frequency of divorce suits in our

The frequency of divorce suits in our courts, and the facility with which the
 bonds of manige are dissolved, are . menace to the stability of society. There are many elements that tend to demoral ize, perhaps that may lead to the dis memberment of the social fabric, but
 none so ominous of peril, as the laxity which prevails in maintaining the sancti- tity of the VOWS pledged at the altar. Yet, the defect does not arise so much from human infirmity, as from the en- couragement gwen by our laws to those
 who seek the intervention of the law to
 relieve them of their obligations. In
 the great majority of the cases, with
 which the calendars are burdened, the
 wife Is the complainant The causes for this are not difficult to solve. The
 husband is at every disadvantage.
 Through a false notion of chivalry, or a spurious sentimentalism, laws in all
 states indirectly offer opportunities
 which woman of lax views regarding the sacred character of the marriage tie,
 will not be slow to improve. At the very inception of proceedings she is entitled to alimony.ad interim, and as is almost d.
 ways the case, when decree of divorce issues from the bench she IS awarded permanent alimony. usually amounting to one-thIrd of her husbands estate.
 In California the court fixes the amount
 which IS never less than one-hah of the community property. Divorces occur more frequently among the rich than among the poor. While there may be some other tangible explanation for this fact, experience has demonstrated, that cupidity has been too often the inspir- ing motive in entering the married state. The glittering prize of fortune is too great a temptation to be resisted, and all con- alterations of mutual offlnity are lost in the contemplatior of possessing great worldly means. But the illusion is not lasting, and domestic infelicity gives birth to aspirations for freedom from the galling bondage. It is so easy to sunder the only tle that links cou- pie. It is but a matter of form to un. dergo the ordeal of legal process, and with certainty of competence for life, there can be nocsuse for wonderment that indifference to the partnership, which was assured for life, should terminate in a disruption of union based upon sor- did motives.

A CASE IN POINT.

In our forefashen' days, pimplss wefe attzi- buted to diseascd blood But modem medicine has demonstrated that rich food docs not create eruptions hy fouling the blood. but retarss di gestion. which makesthc stomach torpid. and the circulation sluggish, and in turn csusss an en- fcebled action of the pores which cousess cs b. come pimpiy. The modern theory therefore is not to treat the blood. but the stomach and livef and it is under this ncw idea, that Joy's Vegetable sa,aparilla was conceived. it is wiping the old "blood disease' idea of other sarsaparllas out of existence. A case in point: "I have hsd for yesn spells of indigestion and dyspepsia and tried nearly everything. Finally took one of the leading sarsspariiias.

The heaviest manufacturer Of steel
 and iron in thi- country is Mir. Carnegie.
 In report that he makes to the Iron
 Workers association, he does not take a
 rose-colored view of the prospects of
 iron manufactures In the east.
 The truth, however, is that elements
 have arisen to distribute the operating
 forces of the country. Business through Cts channels must find its level The
 stream cannot rise higher than its ioun-
 tam source The iniation which sue
 ceeded the conditions of a disastrous
 civil war. must yield to the legitimate
 demands of commerce, and to the
 change effected by altered circumstances
 in the onward progress ot the nation.
 The Pennsylvania furnaces and the New
 England spindles are inactive, not on
 account of the decreased demand for
 wares to supply the genesal want. but
 because of new and unforeseen elements
 in competition that have arisen. Ante
 rior to the war, the southern states were
 essentially an agricultural region. AL
 though untold wealth slumbered in the
 soil Of the states. m the form of iron.
 lead and copper. the tendency of south.
 ern enterprise did not direct itself to the
 development of their mineral resources.
 Nov, a radical change has taken place. and competitor was born where feast ex-
 pected. The consequences of the ri-
 valry is heal,hful. aud will,end to equal ire the cost of production. MT. Came gie says that our country cannot con- sume the iron which it has the capacity to produce. That the consumption of ron and steel is as great as it is. arises from the fact that owing to the advanced prices abroad, the American manufact. urers are left for the first time in almost complete control of our home markets. And even under these conditions the country cannot take the amount we are prepared to make, and prices must rule low. until a number of furnaces and mills conclude that 1t is better to stop for a while than to continue running. This view, however, is not borne out by But the fact remains that the competition has necessitsted .he reduction of prices. leaving ample | mar gin for profit The manufacturers of the east have SO long enjoyed the | privilege of exacting heavy tributes from l which their colossal fortunes have been amassed, that they cannot reconcile | :hemselvers to the necessity of dimin. shing their immense revenues.

That there IS a disiclination generally
 among men to marry, and that the re- luctance to enter the married state is on the increase, Is undeniable, This spamolous condition of the masculine mind, may be attributed to two main causes. One IS the indoctfination of women by the strong minded, be-specta- cled sisters of the sex, who seek to change natures laws by reversing the order of things, which has received the sanction of experience, and which IS based upon unerripg laws of existence. The second cause Is doubtless the growing evil of extravagance, resulting from the frivol- ities and luxuriousness which permeate our social life. In the old states, of the east. the male population has been deci- mated by emigration to the fresher and more vigorous fields of action, which the west offers. But in the new states there is preponderance of males and marriages are not contracted in the faltO Ok ltiC to~tSaSS VI bORoio' ton, which is more evenly divided than in the older communities. In Indiana celibacy has been taxed and bachelors are compelled to pay special taxes, in consideration of their lives of single blessedness, thus relieving the married man of a fair proportion of the responsi- bili,ies devolving upon the taxpaying cit izen. There is no question that mar ried life gives a man more consideration than he enjoys as . single man. As an instance in illustration, A strike in l broom factory in Duluth, Minnesota. was engaged in by the operators. The proprietor increased the wages of mar -ied employees and gave the single men notice tha, they would not be wanted liter the end of the month. unless they were married by that time, in which wen, they would be retained at increased pay.
