Mormon Polygamy in Canada.

Surprising as it may seem, the Mormons
who turned their backs on Utah when the
crusade against polygamy became very hot,
indulged the hope that In new homes ON the
prairies Of the Canadian northwest they
would not be molested. When Mr.. DENNIS
visited them for the Canadian Government
early last year, he found them unwilling to
make any promises or to indicate their inten-
tions with regard to the practice of polyg-
amy. They received him Hospitality. and he
was much impressed with what they had
done, for in less than two years they had
turned tho wilderness around them into a
garden. had raised crop Of grain, and had
built thirteen comfortable houses.
When, however, he ventured to broach the
subject OF polygamy they were absolutely
dumb The only reply they made to his
questions was to hand him printed copy
OF their Articles OF Faith, which, said MIR.
DENNIS, "of course authorize polygamy."
He left them with the conviction that while
they were peaceable, thrifty. and industrious
people, they were fugitives from the anti
polygamy laws Of this country, and, much
as the Canadian Northwest desires immigra-
ton, 1t would not be wise to encourage the
Mormons to find new homes In the Dominion.
Since his report was published there have
been sufficient indications Of the intention Of
the Mormon immigrants to set at naught
tho marriage laws of Canada. One polyga-
mist in the little colony left the country In
hot haste to avoid arrest. An indlscreet let
ter written by A. MAITLAND STENHoUsE,
ono Of the Mormon leaders, fell into the
hands OF the Dominion Government. Tho
letter plainly asserted that the MormonS had
not the slightest intention of abandoning
polygamous practices.
1t is now intimated in despatch from Of
tawa that the MormOns. emboldened by
their comparative isolation in the wilderness
Of the Northwest, contend that there is no
law In the STATUTES ot Eaii&dA that. eIIR aftect

The Governing Principle for 1902.

Our esteemed contemporary, the Chicago
Herald. who is as much interested In politics
as any one, prints this despatch from cor
respondent In Washington:
The talk among Eastern Democrats is that one OF
three men, all residents OF New York will be nominated
for the Presidency In 1892 wnITSHr is as much can
didats a. HnL CLErrLASp. The talk s that he will
not be pressed from the start but stand ready to pezo
the nomination after CLEVELAND ana Hun quarrel over
1t about long a. the party may think proper and
wholesome"
As for Mr.. WHITNEY, he has already ex-
pressed himself in regard to the future in
letter conspicuously printed in The Sun
some months ago. But there is not going TO
be any quarrel among the New York Demo-
crats, to be limited or unlimited by the
patience Of the party at large. The Empire
State Democracy, like their brethren else
where, are solid for success. and the personal
preferences or Vaccinations Of any Of their
fellow citizens are destined for the future to
receive very little attention.
The Democratic purpose in 1892 will be OF
q much moro expansive and ambitious ten
denoy than that which characterized 1t in
the last two elections. In 1884 the Presi-
dental nomination was made for the special
benefit Of few thousand Mugwumps. In
1888 1t was still further concentrated
upon the pleasure and aggrandizement Of
one. The next time the Democracy under
takes to elect President 1t will be with an
eye first and last to the success and benefit
Of the party, and It will nominate In accord
ance with that idea irrespectively ofpersonal
likes, dislikes. hopes. or disappointments.
The Democratic Party will be the war
cry Of 1892, and the man to lead it then will

While It was proposed TO take q part Of
the Central Park for the use Of the Worlds
Fair. or so long as 1t was not certain
that part OF the Park would not be re-
quired for that use, some rich Now Yorkers
had, or thought they had, reason or an
excuse for not subscribing to the $5,O0O,oOO
guarantee fund.
The reason, IL it was one, and the excuse,
exist no longer. The Central Park is not to
be used.
Now, II they value their own reputation
for sincerity; IL they really want the Worlds
Fair held in this town; II they were ever
willing to subscribe in proportion to their
means, and their civic patriotism, and their
appreciation OF the event which ls to be cele-
brated and commemorated. they will take
out their check books, and make liberal con-
tributions. But in justice to themselves
they should hurry up.
There has been difference OF opinion as
to the question OF site. Now we are oil
united. United New York ought to raise all
the money required In this week. The men
who thought the Fair was OF more inn
portance than mere sentimental interest
in some hypothetical injury to the Central
Park havo subscribed and are still subscrib-
ing. Now is the time for everybody else to
come up and subscribe.

,s the scott.Depe~ Letter Genuine ?

Since the addition, division, and silence
letter OF WILLIAM H. KEMBLE, no contlden-
tlal epistle written by any Pennsylvania
politician has attracted so much attention or
been studied with such general interest as
the document that follows:

"ERIE Pa, Sept "a lss0'
The Boston Herald suggests that this now
celebrated letter may be forgery. Our es-
teemed contemporary cannot believe that
man smart enough to make $2O,000,0o0 as
has WILLIAM L. SCOTT. would be such fool
as to write the letter"
The Boston Herald forgets that the letter
was written under the supposition that the
pigeonholes OF the free-pass department in
Forty-seeond street were depository Of
secrets as inviolable as the tomb itself. Mr..
ScoTT could not have foreseen the grotesque
accident by which his confidential note
passed into the hands OF junk dealer with
a taste for autographs; and It's appearance
in print after three years must have been as
amazing to him as it was annoying to DR..
DEPEw. who never Intentionally gives q con-
flling fellow citizen away.
The Herald likewise overlooks great
principle Of human nature when it assumes
that because man is smart money maker
It is impossible for him to be incautious in
the matter Of committing himself to paper.
Too many private and personal letters with
dynamite in them have proceeded from
abler pens than Mr. SCoTr's, and are now
public property. for this last case to seem
exceptional or unnatural.
If there were anything In the theory that
the SCOTT -DEPEw letter is a fabrication, we
should suppose that the suggestion would
have como from Mr. SCOTT himself without
much loss of time. 1t certainly would have
more weight than proceeding from friendly
free trade newspaper away down East. So
far as we are aware, Mr. SCOTT has not yet
questioned the genuineness uf the letter.
Perhaps he has been too busy studying
the text OF Section $500 Of the Revised
Statutes of the United States, which pro-
vides that any Congressman who asks for
or receives anything OF value either before
or after he has taken his seat. with intent to
influence his vote or decision on any ques-
tion that may at any time come before Con-
Hress or its committees. shall be punished
by fine and by imprisonment for not more

Sir SELBY sMYTHE's scheme to build an

current which parallels our coasts as far south
as Cape HatterRs would by this means be kept
out of the Gulf Of st. Lawrence and the tenn

mind o remarkable idea propounded by Capt.
6ILAs BENT
Capt BENT read q paper before q st. Louis

as distinct organization. They think that
the Same work could be performed moro sat
lsfactorily within the Churches themselves,
and that IL IL not desirable for young men
to feel that they must 20 outside to expend
their energies in religious efforts. They cay
that every parish should be Of itself young
mems Christian association.
That is the view Of mUst Episcopalians,
and even Baptists and Methodiets have eX-
pressed the opinion that their churches
suffer by reason Of the withdrawal OF many
young men from activity within their own
folds to take part In the separate associa-
tions formed for their benefit. They are un-
willing to part with any Of their stock Of
religious zeal, the sum Of which Is never ex-
cessivo. They want to keep their young
men at home to engage them in the work OF
building up the spiritual household. They
think, too, that the young men would be
under better influences II they remained with
their own religious kindred.
It cannot be denied that there is much
force in those objections; and because they
are well founded the membership OF the
Young Mems Christian Associations is small
compared with the whole number OF young
ment and conviction. There is alec another
reason why these associations fail to attract
many Of the very best Of the youth In the
communities where they exist. 1t is that all
square and honest young men hate cant,
religious pretence, the ostentatious display
OF religious feeling, the assumption OF spir-
itual superiority, and whatever seems to
them to savor OF hypocrisy. Therefore
when they go to the Christian Association
and find weak, silly, or fraudulent fell
lows, who thrust their religious admoni-
tlons on them, they turn away with
repugnance. They do not like the
crowd One humbug in the body does
more harm to it in this way than hundred
righteous men can repair; and, unfortunate
", such frauds and pretenders have forced
themselves into the associations. There are
not many OF them, perhaps, but they are
enough to bring into disrepute with multi
tudes Of young men an institution that they
would prefer 10 respect.
This is a subject which may proftably
engage the thought Of the Young Mems
Christian Associations as they assemble this
week for prayer and consultation over the
best methods Of promoting their work.

While desertions from the army are so

causes this extraordinary eagerness to quit

The Young Mems Christian Association

The present week Is observed by the atfili-
ated Young Mems Christian Associations
throughout the world as week OF prayer
for young men. The total number OF the
organizations which will engage in the sup
plicatiOns Is $780, with a membership Of
more than 100000.
Undoubtedly they perform a valuable
work In withdrawing young men from temp
tAtion 70 coarse pleasures, and proving FOR
them social recreations Of generally whole
some sort. The associations In New York,
nature Of clubs, and their houses are made
attractive with libraries and reading rooms,
gymnasiums and bowling alleys. Lectures
on other than purely religious subjects are
furnished, various entertainments OF the
less excltable kind are offered, and the young
members have q chance to pursue certain
subjects OF study. Theso are the secular
features Of tho work.
The religious features are prayer meetings
Bible CLASSES, and addresses and exhortations
by ministers and laymen Of what are known
a. the Evangelical communions. There arc
also agencies for charitable labor. employ
ment bureaus, visitors to the sick, and mis-
Sionarles who go through the town to give
good advice to such young men as they can
reach and help.
