Tie Mormons are serious troubles
in Arizona and Idaho as we'll as In Utah. OF
the 1iS,777 population of Idaho. more than
$4,000 are Mormons. But polygamy is not
openly practiced, and according to the last
report of the Governor, which has just been
published. there seems to be springing up in
the church itself division of sentiment on
the subject OF plural wives. In Arizona
they are a less tractable lot. Governor
Wolfiey gives them a very bad name
"Morally and politically" he reports to the
Secretary of the Interior, 'they are an
unwelcome and dangerous element Politi-
cally they have adopted the plan of sending
colonies or stakes to the surrounding terri.
tories in sufficient numbers to form a bal
ance Of power between the two political par
ties. They are willing to trade with either,
but remain true only so long as the interests
OF the church are best served. The church

Went to the orders of the church. They are
therefore, most dangerous and unscrupul-
GUS factor in politics. without regard to
party. Four years ago they voted for the
Republican delegate to Congress; two years
ago aud last year they voted for the Demo
cratic delegate In payment for the repeal of
the DISTINGUISHING act passed by my late
predecessor" Governor Wolfiey makes an
urgent appeal to Congress to repeal that
Territorial repeating act and re-establish the
DISTINGUISHING law. Congress will probably
take some such action. The success of the
radical measures taken in Utah shows that
the Mormon faith is not of the true kind
that thriyes on ''martyrdom." as they call
their punishments; and that repressivC
measures are likely to be successful in al

Last year, in accordance with the demands
of the authorities Of the Catholic church, the
Boston School Board removed Swinton's
history from the schools and substituted An
derson's. Swinton's history contained some
statements in regard to the Catholic church
at the time Of the Reformation that were not
at all relished by the church authorities.
Anderson's history, however, contained
nothing Objectionable. since its author had
made it his object to write his history so that
1t should give no offense to Catholics or 9TH
er sects that might be sensitive. This change
caused the memorable contest in the elections
for the School Board, which resulted in an
overturn in favor of those who did not ap-
prove of Mr.. Anderson's accommodating
method Of writing history. The new school
board will probably remove Anderson's
books, and substitute for them either Swim
tons or Fishers.

is to wonder how the general can endure
passing any of his days beyond the influence
Of its subtle music. She is gentle little
heart-broken lady from whom the iron
hand of ambition has clutched all that she
found best In love. And she has not even

ADrum in His Head,

"That is a queer freak,n said one of
the newspaper men when the woman
had departed, "but / know of q case
stranger than that. 1t happened in
my own family and the victim Of the
hal}ucination was my uncle. He was a
farmer and wealthy man. When the
war broke out he enlisted and fought
bravely to the end. He had not been
home six months when the strange
fancy seized him that there was small
drum secreted in the top Of his head
and that he would never more have
peace. He was sent to private in
sane asylum. Except for this peculiar
idea he was apparently as sane as you
or I, and his conversation on any topic
but this was rational. Finally the
physicians hit upon a happy idea.-
They told my uncle that they would
perform surgical operation and take
the drum out. So they had minia-
ture drum made, and one of them kept
it in the palm of his hand where the
patient could not see it. They then
cut the scalp on the top ofhis head un-
til blood came. and the physicians pre-
tended to draw out the drum through
the top of his head, stitching the wound
after doing so. My uncle was cured
the minute he saw the drum. Mill

A Starry Lozenge.

An interesting geometrical figure
may now be traced in the heavens on
starlight nights. 1t is an irregular
lozenge formed by four stars Of the first
magnitude. Sirius, which is on the
meridian about o'clock on the last of
February, may be taken as n starting
point, occupying the southwest corner
of the figure. A line drawn northwest
from Sirius will lead the eve to Betel-
guese in the shoulder of Orion. Rigel,
in the foot of mighty hunter, is oppo-
site Betelguese, and line extending
from Sirius through the belt of Orion
will reach Aldebaran in the constella-
tion Taurus. These four stars-Sirius,
Betelguese, Rigel and Aldebaran-form
the corners of the celestial lozenge.
This geometrical figure IS not only in
teFesting for the brilliants that form its
corners, but also for the charming col
lection of stars contained within the
boundaries. The whole constellation
of Orion. first in rank among all clus-
ters of stars, here finds place. The OBJ
server will perceive the belt symmetri-
cally placed in the center, the sword
slanting downward from the belt with
its nebulous star. and the irregular
parallel0gram made up Of the four
brightest stars of the constellation.

A PROHIBITION AMENDMENT.

Very Close Contest ON the Proposed
Amendment In Pennsylvania.
HARRISBURG, Pa, Feb. a5.-A Pittshurg
Dispatch correspondent, who has spent forty
days making canvass of the sixty out of
the sixty-seven counties of Pennsylvania to
ascertain the prospects of the prohibitory
amendment, and who Is now going through
this congressional district ON similar mis-
sion, thinks the fight will be very close.
In his opinion, formed from reports OBJ
tanned from representative and well in
formed men, for and against the proposed
legislation, the counties west of the Susque-
hanna will give majority of 5000 for the
amendment. His canvass shows that very
few counties west of the river will vote
against it. East of the river, largely in
habited by Pennsylvania Dutch, he antic-
pates majority in opposi tion to the amend
msnt of about 50.0OJ, to which Philadel-
phia is expected to contribute 10000 votes at
least

The Direct Tar Bill mHulIabaIoo.

The House yesterday adopted the
conference report on the Direct Tax
bill by vote of lS6 yeas to 88 nays.
Please observe the fact that the af-
firmativesfell sadly short Of a two-thirds
majority.
There is a vast amount of talent in
terested in the prospective distribution
of the SIG, 900, 900 involved in this pecu-
liarly and purely patriotic measure.
1t has even been suggested that the
Republican management of the State
of Ohio would have TO go into bank
ruptcy unless it should promptly re-
ceive its dividends under this proposed
rake-off of game played twenty-four
years ago.
The House conceding, this bill, swift
ly engrossed, reached the President at
p. m. of yesterday, the Goth of Febru-
ary.
Too late!
The present Congress ends with the
expiration of the Sd of March. That
day expires, by universal practice and
precedent, at noon of the fourth Of
March; but, so long as the old Congress
lives, It is still the Sd of March-that
day and the Congress die together.
All of the foregoing leads up to the
proposition that (see Clause 2, Sec. z,
Art. l. of the Federal Constitution) q
bill which reaches the President so late
that he does not have ten full days
SUNDAY not counted) to consider it be-
fore the end of the Congress dies of
inatition, unless he promptly signs it.
No veto is necessary.

Constitution requires.

Thursday, February21. Wednesday, February "a.
Friday, February %. Thursday, February 20.
Saturday, February %. Friday, March 1.
Monday, February %. Saturday, March Q.
And as Sunday March 3d) cannot
count, the legislative day of March I'd
is not ended until noon of Monday,
March 4th.
Here may be observed in the fore
going table the record of the days. But
it is an inviolable principle of law that,
in counting the lapse of specified
number of days, you may note either
both. 1t follows-and there can he no
question about it-that this bill will
have been with the President only nine
legal days, and will die unless he signs
Iit-that is, can be killed by what is
called pocket veto. There is no room
to doubt the correctness Of this state
ment.
But it is not believed that it will die
in that way. 1t is the prevailing i'm.
preston that President CLEVELAND will
wholly waive the point of the pocket
veto-that he will either approve the
measure or return it to Congress with
his disapproval. .
1t is. altogether, one of the most
entertaining features of the closing days
of this Administration.-Enquire.
