wonder that the situation casts a
certain amount of gloom over the
otherwise cheerful columns Of our es-
teemed contemporaries" 1t winds
up these sympathetic remarks with
the query, "What is the matter with
New England ?"
The matter with New England is
that it is doing a bigger business than
cultivating barren hillside farms. 1t
is devoting its energy and its enter
prise to the cultivation of the conti-
nent. 1t is assisting the South to
educate its people and develop its re-
sources; it is building up prosperous
communities in the far West, and
shaping the destiny of the Pacific
coast. In doing this it is not altogether
deserting the home nest. The char
acter of its population is changing to
a considerable extent, but the native
element still holds the fort, nor is it
declining in population. If the back
towns are abandoned, the commercial
and manufacturing centers are in
creasing in population. 1t may be
necessary that New England should
keep sharp eye on its own affairs,
but that will not prevent it from play
ing its part in the conquest of the
continent

The letter written by Commissioner
Tanner to Private Dalzell effectively
dispenses If the doughty corporal.
His reflections upon the administra-
ton are of such character as to an
tagonize the president, and doubt
if Mr.. Tanner will ever obtain anoth-
er good position. The writing of the
letter was in itself blunder, writing
it to such a man as Private Dalzell
was a crime. Dalzell is we'll known
as blatherskite of the cheapest class.
For years he has itched for sensation
alism. Last spring he found tempo
rary notoriety by publishing a letter
"to the American SOLDIER in which
he informed the soldiers that he was
entitled to certain withheld bounty TO
which the law gave him no color of
right.

LADIES, MAKE THE EXPERnIENT.-Mon
and women who refuse to try new ideas
or new articles, virtually combine TO
make the world stand still, aud check the
advancement of those things which con-
duce to happiness, comfort, and the get
ting Of more into an ordinary life. Sweep
ing mprovements-sucha as the telegraph,
steam, electricity-push themselves i'm mt
all odds; and, although it may not be
suspected, a household article is doing
the very same, by its judicious, convinc-
ing, argumentative advertising. We re-
fer to Pearline-the very name is becom-
ing household word, which means clean
illness with ease and comfort. We would
suggest to those of our readers who do
not use Pearline to make an experiment
with it. Surely such rapid growth as IL
is enjoying must be due to merit, and yet
it is old enough to have been buried out
of sight long since did it not continue To
please and satisfy those who use it. It
claims much by way of reducing drudgery
and saving of wear and tear. and If it
fulfls its promises, the more it claims the
better; and the sooner you know all about

fits afforded by purely scientific house

A Triumph in the New States.

The sweeping victory for intelli-
gent and progressive government at
Tuesdays elections vindicates the
title of the new states to the increas-
ed powers and privileges which are
soon to be fully conferred on them.
As our dispatches show, the predic-
tion of 1000 republican majority
in North Dakota was not far out of
the way. In South Dakota, where
remarkably heavy vote was polled, the
result is equally gratifying; and the
majority for Governor Mellette and
the two congressman, which is esti-
mated at from 10000 to $4,000, is
sufficiently handsome to bear dis
counting. Storms have Frustrated
the telegraph lines in Washington
and interfered with the returns in
that state. 1t is known, however, that
the legislature is safely republican,
and that the republican congressman
and the entire state ticket have been
elected. Montana, loudly claimed
by democrats and conceded to be
close by republicans, is believed to
be republican on every issue. In all
the states the constitution was adopt
ed.
President Harrison's formal procla-
nation of the admission of these new
members Of the Union will therefore
mean not only a notable accession to
the sisterhood of states, but a marked
extension of republican power and
prestige. If the present estimates
are confirmed, the party will have
gained eight senators at Washington,
with two republican congressman
at South Dakota and one each from
the other three states, and the in
crease of the party strength in the
House of Representatives will give
substantial working majority. The
new states have done nobly. They de-
serve the thanks of the country.

Pullets Should be Laving.

Young pullets Matched in March and April ought

themselves not lay before spring when eggs are
down to fifteen cents per dozen. A well known
poultry farmer showed us recently his account for
last December with 125 pullets The net profit for
that month from eggs alone was 5000; from the
same pullets in April following, the profit was
$l447 and he got 90 dozen eggs in April than
in December. Now this is a striking lesson 30 All

Eliza Cook.

For half century the name of Eli
"a Cook has been a household word
with many families. With the pub
lie in general, her personality and
fame as a poetess have been of late
years overshadowed by the promi-
nence of younger and more celebrat-
ed writer's, so that the report Of her
death in Wimbledon, England, on
Wednesday,, will strike many with
surprise, mot that she is dead but that
she has so recently lived. For many
years she has lived in seclusion.
The poems of Eliza Cook are of
the class which appeal directly to the
sentiment in the reader. They are
earnest, sincere. rythmical produc-
tions, written from the heart, and
possessed of a considerable degree of
poetical merit. A generation ago
they were in great demand in the
reading books, and many of them
found their way into the anthologies
of the day. Few bits of verse were
better known at this period than her
poem, ssThe Old Arm Chair She
has written better verse that this, but
none that is more popular. An illus
traticn of the lasting influence she
had over her readers came under the
observation of the present writer a
few years since. The editor of lit
erary PERIODICAL, a man somewhat en-
amored of the poetry Of his youth, in
making preparation to reprint a
poem said: II don't know who wrote
this poem, but it is very good and /
think / will credit it to Eliza Cook"
AS a matter of fact, the piece was
written by Mrs. Julia G. r. Dorr, as
we afterwards learned, and is, prob
ably, more finished production than
anything Eliza Cook ever wrote.
In 1849 "Eliza Cooks Journal
was started, and during the five years
that it lived was edited by her whose
name it bears. I'll health compelled
her to abandon the paper at the end
of this time, and its publication
ceased. She began writing very early
in life, becoming quite well known at
the age of twenty. She published
several volumes, and her writings are
all marked by elevation and purity of
thought and simplicity of diction.

The Suppression of Polygamy.

According to the recent report of
the Utah Commission, polygamy is no
longer openly practiced in that terri
tory save in remote and unfrequented
parts. It is asserted, however, by
the Gentiles, that plural marriages
take place clandestinely, and that po-
lygamy reigns in secret throughout
the territory. Doubtless this is true
to certain extent, but it is no less
true that many Mormons have never
practiced polygahy, and it is proba-
bly, safe to say that the number of
those who do is constantly decreasing.
The Commission thinks that many
Mormons disapprove Of the practice,
but as an article in their creed, re-
vealed, as they believe, from God
through the prophet, Joseph Smith,
and ratified and sanctioned by their
great president, Brigham Young, they
contend that whoever desires to po-
lygamize should have the right to
comply with this ordinance of the
church.
The Commissioners report says
there are grounds for the belief that
polygamy is still taught by the church
as a saving ordinance, and that those
who practice it believe they will be
exalted in heaven. The Mormons
deny the constitutionality of all laws
forbidding the practice of polygamy.
There is yet too much polygamy in
the territory, thinks the Commission,
to make the admission Of Utah as
state desirable.
The Commission makes various
recommendation regarding amend
ments of, and additions to the laws.
for violation of the law against po-
lygamy should be extended to at least
two years for the first, and three
years for the second offence that the
woman be equally liable with the
man; that jurisdiction over offences
of this nature, without regard to the
place committed within the territory,
should be conferred on district courts /;
that the laws regarding immigration
of Chinese and the importation of
contract labor, paupers, and crimi-
nails, should be so amended as to
prevent the immigration of persons
claiming that their religion justifies
the crime of polygamy that the Con-
stitution should be so amended as to
forever prohibit polygamy; that the
limitation on prosecution for polyga-
my and bigamy should be extended
and sentence of hard labor added.
Other recommendations of more or
less Importance are made.
The report of the Commission i'm
presses one as being a practical doc
ument, and leads to the belief that
the Commissioners are earnestly striv-
ing to crush out this most objection
able feature of Mormonism.
