SOUTHERN M0RH0As.
H0H the UTAH SAINTS PROSECUTE
THEIR WORK.
4 FrigAtfni Story Of SguaiOr--Preaching
FoVgamy--Hoiding Secret Meetings.

1T is nearly ten years now since
the apostles of Joseph Smith and
Brigham Young began their sys-
tematic missionary work in the
southern states.
During these years many huns
BILE but happy homes have been
wrecked and ruined and several
thousand converts have been added
to the Mormon church. To-day
no mission work in beathen lands
is so thoroughly organized or SO
vigorously prosecuted as the work
of the Mormon elders in the state
of Alabama, Georgia and Tennes-
see. Mormonism has become So
strongly entrenched in sections of
these states that individual or or-
gained opposition is powerless to
stop its work. eve violate no
law" they cry, and those who
would drive the cunning elders from
a community must become the age
gressors and law breakers.
Senators and representatives in
congress who have dicussed the
Mormon question and have led
to devise means to crush out polyg-
amy in Utah have never dreamed
of the extent Of Mormon proselyt-
ing in the southern states.
THE PROGRESS OF MoRNIoNIsM
in sections of the states named
above is appalling. So quietly
have they gone about their work
and they have selected sections of
country so remote from towns and
cities that it has been a matter of
no little difficulty to ascertain the
extent of their work.
The elders enter a community
without any blare Of trumpets, and
in many instances they have made
dozens of converts before the more
intelligent residents are even aware
of their presence OF their work.
For two or three years past brief
accounts of the work of Mormon
elders in various sections have ap>
peared in the newspapers from time
to time, but in no instance has
one half the truth been told.
A newspaper correspondent is a
terror to a Mormon elder. They
fear the power of the press more
than they tear the power of col.
gross.

| have talked with a number Of the
elders, with their converts, with
their victims and with those who
have sought in vain to drive the
cunning teachers of polygany from
the state.
The headquarters Of the elders
working in the south have been at
Chattanooga, Tenn, for several
years. FL Ter John Morgan, of
Salt Lake, was 20 charge of this
work for several years, but about a
year ago he returned to Utah and
was succeeded by Elder William
Spry. wlo is still in charge o. the
work.
Elders who volunteer for miss
iqnary work first report to the head
Of the church at Salt Lake city.

ture. These reports are forwarded
from Chastaneoga to Salt Lake
semi-annually or quarterly in order
that the head of the church may be
kept constantly posted on the pro-
eress of the work.
When a number of converts are
ready to go west, the elders in
charge report to Chattanooga the
number ready to leave on certain
date and railroad tickets are for
warded from headquarters. An
a ent of the railroad company usu-
ally accompanies the party as far
west as the Mississippi river, and
n
from one to FIVE elders remain with
them until they are
SAFELY LANDED IN UTAH,
Arizona or Idaho.
About two hundred elders are
now at work in the south and
nearly one hundred of them are in
Alabama, They are operating in
about dozen counties, but their
stronghold is in Clay county, whe e
their church is located. From this
point they work the adjoining
counties of Cieburne, Randolph and
Talladega.
In narrow valley, shut out nj
most from the world by rough hills
and mountains, in the northeastern
part Of Clay county, is Bethel
church, or station, as the elders call
it. This church was established
about three years ago by Elders
Amos, Morrick, Morris and others.
The object of the church is to hold
the converts together until they
can be transported to Utah or
Arizona.
The people of this section are
not only very ignorant but extreme
ly poor. They live in perfect
squalor and very few of them can
read or write. 1t is only in an>
tumn and winter after their small
crops Of corn and cotton arc sold
that they can raise enough money
to pay their way to the west and

Various Items of Interest to Lovers OF
Rod and Gun.
The farmers of Bergen county residing
along the Passaic river are up in arms.
The Paterson Press says:-"They have been
pestered in past years with the numerous
army of hunters from this city and New
York who take possession of their prop
erty during the game season, and never
leave it until the season closes, and who
seem to have more rights and liberties
thar the landowners themselves; and
this the honest farmers over the river,
ever watchful of their own interests, have
determined to have stopped. They have
formed themselves into an association
which has for its naine the Farmers
Game Protective Association OF Bergen
county, and the flaming notices posted N
the trees and fences and gate posts In that
vicinity show the extent of their lands.
The members all W adjoining farnls, so
that II makes, as IL were, one grand game
park, covering over one thousand acres Of
the best hunting grounds in the country.
The rules of the association are very
rigid, and, judging from he interest
taken, they intend to have them en-
forced. No person not a member of the
association is allowed to hunt on tn ese
lands unless he has first obtained Z per
mit card signed by some member. These
permits are only good for one day, and
any person found hunting on the lands of
the association without Il card properly
signed Is Immediately taken In charge by
u especial officer appointed for that pur-
pose. The object of the association is not
only to put q stop to the promiscuous
p~ot.hunters that infest that vicinity dur
ing the week, days buti also TO prevent q
worse evil, that of hunting on Sunday,
which is so common that it has become a
nuisance. Heretofore IL O man made a
complaint against a party for violating
the Sunday law it vas necessary for him
to go to Hackensack and pay all his own
expenses, M in consequence few COM
plants were made. but under the present
arrangement the expenses being borne
equally by all the members, every viola
ton of the law viii be prosecuted vigor-
ously and without mercy. Mr.. Smith

The Belvidere, Warren county, CORE
spondent of the Washington Star says
The Pike county fishermen arrived
home with moro fish than they knew
what to do with. They had 400 pounds of
fine big pickerel and were generous
enough to distribute them among our
people. County Clerk Hopler and ex-
Councilman McMurtrie talk of buying
of the Pike county lakes just for their
own accommodation. They will also have
o game preserve and take an animal
hunt for bear and deer. The ex-Council-
nan is q great deer hunter, but says that
the dod-blasted rattlesnakes are a little
too numerous in that section to suit his
fancy.
The season for hunting rabbits and
quail opened last Friday. Before day
light hunters could be seen sitting on
fences all over Hunterdon county,
patiently awaiting for it to become light
enough to see the game. All day long
there was a continual bang bang. In
every direction and hunters came nome
well loaded with rabbits but few birds.
n par W VI SCfCA Olou8Hb AL lOLVy A0oDtcos
John Price aud his son AL. killed twenty
four rabbits. but Johnnie p. Yawger, of
Stanton, beat the record-killing twenty
two without a dog.
RED BANK, Nov. s, 18S9.-Game is more
abundant in this section this fall han it
has been for years. Rabbits are very
plentiful, but there seems TO be O scarcity
of quail. This is accounted for by the ex-
tremely wet weather, which spoiled the
eggs or killed the young. Among the
most successful gunners in this section
is Joseph Boskey, who a couple of days
ago bagged ten rabbits, three squirrels
and two quails. Boskey. accompanied by
Ed Scott, Lewis Trick and Ed Denise. of
Red Bank, went out last Friday. The
party killed thirty-four rabbits and n
woodcock. A party of seven gunners
from Scobeyyille shot IO2 rabbits and five
quail on Friday and Saturday. Alfred
and Theodore Carhart, of Red Bank,
bagged fourteen rabbits at Colts Neck
last Friday. The shooting season closes
on December 16.

but the smile which radiated his face on
beholding his wife made him positively
handsome. The woman Rugged and

ADJUSTMENTS.


"Erminie," the comic opera, whose
success has been almost unprece-
dented, was given at the Academy of
Music last night by Aronson's Opera
Company. The entire performance
vas smooth and good. The choruses
throughout were well sung, and con-
tanned a sufficient number of voices
which is quite a rarely in a travelling
opera company.
The role of Erminie was creditably
sung by Miss Helen Lamont, who
possesses a very sweet soprano voice,
but it is rather light for a large house.
The honors of the evening were car
ried off by Miss Emma Hanley, who
sang "Javotte" in SO pretty a manner
as to captivate all her listeners. Ross
David played Eugene Marcel, Ermin-
les lover exceedingly well.
OF course Ravennes and Cadeaux,
by RE. Graham and Louis De Lange,
were satisfactorily funny.
The scenes were all we'll set and the
production well repays one for going
to see it. Tonight will be the last per-

The Reason WHY.

All the papers throughout the State
are INDUCING in long explanations of
the Republican defeat. 1t is rather a
post-mortem sort of amusement, but
it has the merit of being easy.
Let us see, Why did the people
knock out Grubb? Whydid they elect
Leon Albeit ?
Well, in plain English, they knocked
out General Grubb because they
did not want an unframed and in
competent man for Governor; be-
cause they did not want a tool
of General Sewell's for Governor; be-
cause they did not want an agent Of
the Railways to run the State; be-
cause they did not want to encourage
falsehood and jugglery as substitutes
for political principle; because they
did not want to co%untenance the
growth of the aristocratic idea, the
Capitalization of power-in short, be-
cause they did not like and would not
tolerate any of the things of which
General Grubb was the representa-
tive.
On the other hand they elected
Governor Albeit because he was a
man OF experience and ability in pub
lie affairs; because he had in several
high offices demonstrated the value
of his services to the people; be-
cause he was no mans tool and
no corporations agent, but the
devoted servant of the State, because
they knew that under his conduct,
economy and justice would be the
policy Of the government; because
his principles were honest and sound,
and We're boldly and courageously
stated; because he represented the idea
that powersprang only from the people
and should be used for their advantage
only-in short because he represented
all those political conceptions which
tend to the perpetuation and success
full administration of our free institu-
lions under the Federal system.
These are the reasons for the result
Of Tuesdays contest, fundamentally
stated. The lesson to politicians is
one that cannot belightly overlooked.
WHEN General Grub resumes COM
mand of the Philadelphia City Troop,
he ought to take in Sewell as orderly
sergeant.
