IDAHO AND THE MORNONS.

Two more Territories, Wyoming and Idaho,
are earnestly seeking to be admitted into the
Union, and in point of settlement wealth and
development they are both fitted for Statehood
The Senate committee is understood to be
ready to report favorably upon their claims
They have both adopted a constitution, and
are entirely prepared to make the transition
from Territory to State so soon as Congress says
the word. There is only one question that can
arise to mperil the Senate'S bill, and it relates
solely to Idaho. 1t is a question which calls for
light. Idaho is represented in Congress by al
exceedingly able and energetic Delegate, who
will undoubtedly treat the subject frankly and
fully. The country will want to understand
from Mr.. Du Bos what the effect of the Nor
mon balance of power in Idaho is likely to be
upon legislation, elections, social and other
affairs.
About 90 per cent of Idaho's population are
Mormons, and the Church is well intrenched
in the southern part of the Territory, where its
| peculiarly effective system is in full opera
uon. DO not these people constitute an ele-
ment which will hold itself between the two
| parties for sale In every election to the highest
bidder? And is there not grave reason for
| believing that this would result in Marty
and social Generalization? We are aware that
Mormons are disfTanchiSed in Idaho's new Con

TIE TRACK OF THE INFL UENZA.

The manner in which epidemic influenza ls
propagated may be, certain authorities de-
clare, different from that in which smallpox,
scarlet fever and other contagious maladles are
transmitted; yet there seems to be some room
for doubt as to the truth of the statement that the
germ of this dsagrecable disease is borne around
the world in the air
The trade winds, to be sure, incline to the
westward; and overhead near the equator the
atmosphere moves with great rapidity in that
direction, as was attested by the motion of the
Krakatoa dust-cloud few years ago. But in
both hemispheres, on the polar sides of latitude
80, the general movement of the air, allow and
aloft is eastward. Owing to the phenomena OF
cyclones and anti-cyclones in the temperate zone,
this direction is not steadily maintained every
where within 5000 or 10000 feet of the earth S
surface; but the surface winds which come from
the east prevail only for a short time, and over
limited areas and do not compensate for the main
flow.
If the progress Of the curious epidemic now at
tracing so much attention were from Russia to
Siberia, across to Alaska, British Columbia and
California, thence to the Atlantic seaboard, and
so to Western Europe, this theory might be
credible But, instead having started in the
Cars dominions, it follows the sun into the
Danubian principalities, Germany, England
France and Spain, and now is believed to have
reached America. If the influenza can beat up
against the wind, like fore-and-after, well
and good. Otherwise. it is hard to reconcile the
notion recently advanced to the method of Its
conveyance with known facts regarding the
general atmospheric circulation. The occasional
easterIy brcezes already referred 10 might, per-
haps, carry the pest short distances, but they do
not seem adequate to explain its more extended
and persistent journey along the track of the
=" Star of Empire. Possibly quarantine is needed
against something beside the Winds after all.

the oath that should entitle them to vote.
This abominable trick has been exposed by the
Idaho Territorial courts and TO an extent per-
hans defeated but it shows the lengths to
which the Mormon priesthood will CO. and the
inevitable peril in which Idaho and the Union
Will stand when the Federal Government Is no
longer able to assert itself in electoral and
other local affairs.
The Mormon question is not growing SIM
pier. it is growing graver as settlement IN
creases in Utah and Idaho and as these Terri
tories are taking place in National affairs.
The Republic is rghtfully committed
to the principle of freedom of religious be-
lief and worship, but in applying that prin-
c;nle n the Mormons we are met with the
claim. not merely that they regard certain I'M
moral practices as part OF religious dutS, put
that they hold obedience in civil affairs 10 thelr
priesthood to be essential to salvation The
records of our courts in Utah and Idaho are
crowded with Mormon peruries committed
under directions from priests and bishops, and
every function of citizenship is performed. not
for the welfare of the State, but for the beneht
of the Church and its leaders How this situa-
ton will affect policies and affairs when Idaho
is admitted is question upon which Mr..
Du Bois should throw all possible light. Pub
lie sentiment would bring Idaho into the Union
tomorrow but for tho fear that IN admitting
her we should be placing in the hands OF this
unscrupulous ecclesiastical body weapon
which would be used to increase the difficulties,
already great, that menace American interests
in Mormondom
