rJustice Bradley delivered the opinion.
Chief Justice Fuller said that be and JUS
tices Field and Lamar were constrained to
dissent from this decision The power Of
congress 70 legislate over the territories
was not incident to the treaty making
power, and its power is restricted directly
to that expressed or implied in the consti-
tuition. There is no such power granted as
that involved in the act under considera-
tion. Congress unquestionably has power
to suppress polygamy, and it is immaterial
whether the crime was committed in the
name Of religion. But congress has not
power to seize and confscate the property
OF corporations because they may have been
guilty OF crime. II the purposes Of the

The Mormon Charter Repeated.

Two questions, the court says, are in
volyed in this case. The first is, Has con-
gress the power to repeal the charter Of the
Church Of Jesus Christ Of Latter Day
Saintsg This question it answers In tho
affirmative. The power Of congress over
the territories is generally dependent on
the right TO acquire the territory itself. IL
is derived from the treaty making power,
the power to declare war. The incidents
Of these powers are those of national sover-
eighty Congress had supreme power over
the territories ID acquired by purchase or
otherwise, and generally reserved, as 1t did
in the case Of Utah, the right to revoke all
acts Of the territorial Legislature 1t fol-
lows. therefore, that it has the right TO re-
yoke the church charter.

The question, therefore, is whether the
promotion Of such an unlawful system, so
repugnant to our laws, is to be allowed to
continue, and whether the enormous funds
which have been accumulated shall be
welded for the propagation Of the obnoxf-
ous practioe-for the promotion of an or.
ganized tebelliop against the laws Of the
United States. The history of the govern
ment's dealings with the Mormons is one
OF patience on the part of the American
government and of resistance to law and
pitiless atrocities on the part Of the Nor
mons. i rls.
The contention that polygamy is a part
OF the Mormon's religious belief Is 4 so
phistical plea. No doubt the thugs of
India imagined that their belief in assas-
sination was a religious belief, but that
did not make il so. Society has a perfect
right to prohibit offenses against the en-.
lightened sentiment Of mankind Since
the church persists in claiming the right
TO use the funds with which il has been en-
dowed for the purpose of promoting these
unlawful practices the question arises, has
the government the right TO seize thesa
funds which the Mormon leaders are mis-
using and devote them TO worthy and char
liable purposes as nearly akin as possible
TO which the funds were dedicated After
an elaborate historical review of the com
mon law the court comes to the conclusion
that congress had the right to seize the

The Power OF Congress.

On the part of.the United States IL was
contended that congress had authority to
repeal all territorial enactments; that the
act ineorporatingsth the ohuroh was invalid
as an attempt to establish a religion con.
trary TO the provisions Of the constitution,
and that moreover, the charter should be
annulled for abuse Of the granted rights.
As, when the church corporation was dis
solved, there was no one to whom TO turn
over the property, it was properly escheated
To the United States.

Forage Grass.

MT. Ormsby, Secretary of the Board of University Regents, re- ceived 700 pounds of forage grass seed from the Agricultural Depart ment, for experimental purposes at the grass station established here. It is the intention of the regents to fence in four acres of the university grounds on the northeast corner and plant this seed at once. The test IS to be made without the aid of irrigation. There are several kinds of seed most brought from far distant countries, the climatic conditions of which are similar to to those of Arizona. Dr. Vesey, the botanist of the Department, who was here last Summer, believes all of our arid lands can be made to produce forage grass, and the ex- pertinent at this station will be made to determine this proposition.

A Sail Over Land.

"The prairies of the West are great places for wind" said a wild West telegraph operator; Il used to have a station out in Nebraska, right out in the open prairie, and the way the wind blew there was a caution. But it was a lucky wind for me. At station about thirteen miles west, my girl lived, and as l had no Sunday trains or business of any kind, 1 used to go up there and stay over Sunday. But liv- ery-horse from Saturday night to Monday morning cost too much money, so I rigged up sail on an old tie-car. All I had to do on Saturday night was to hoist my sail push the car out 0n the main track, and in less than an hour 1 was at my journeys end. For more than
 J
 a year I went to see my girl every Saturday night by means of that sail-car. Pretty sleek, wasn't it?"
 ''Yes, pretty sleek. But do you mean to say that the wind blew in the same direction every Saturday night during all that time?"
 "Of course 1 don't !"
 "Well, how did you manage on those nights when it blew in the other direction?"
 Easy enough. had another girl at station fifteen miles east " New York Ledger.

The Agricultural Combination.

The combination known as the Farmers Alliance is making rapid and unprecedented headway. An agricultural unit is becoming an approximate fact. The isolation, mutual distrust ,and division so gen. erally characteristic of the farming class is giving way to the influence of intelligence and the gospel of cooperation. The eventual results in an economic and national sense are practically beyond the power of human forecast. A phalanx of 100000 men with one wing on the sea-Iine of Maine, and the oth- CT on the wash of the Pacific coast, counts for something as a momen- tum for good or evil. It will have to run the usual risks of disease and division. Man is a selfish an- imal in a combination, as he is out of 1t and sometimes che richer the cheese the fatter the maggotS; but under any consideration the move ments toward combination is q bealthful sign of economic virllity. The progress of this movement in the South is simply phenomenal, considering the traditional apathy and non-progressive mind of the austral agriculturiat. Georgia alone has made saving in a single year of $205,000 in the purchase of fer tilizers, and it has lowered the cost of food, clothing, implements, wagons, etc. Carolinas are coming into line, and the movement bOdes to be the most extensive and effective of it's kind in modern times, With it's head kept out of the political halter, it will escape the strangling too common with such promising movements.-Age of Steel.

The Chicago News put some good points in this wise.
 When it is claimed that protec- ton has made products cheaper in this country the friends of protec- ton should explain on what ground there can possibly be any excuse for the reduction of the tariff which has such a cheapening effect.
 They should explain why the firm of Powers & Weightman is demanding a restoration of the tariff on quinine, if such tariff is to still further reduce the selling price of that necessity. They should also explain why it is that so many manufacturers of steel products are clamoring for free trade in raw ma terials that the may have an op- portunity to compete with the man. ufacturers of other countries.
 If it is true that protection has reduced the cost of goods pro- duced in this country, then 1t must follow that the higher the cost of raw materials the lower will be the cost of finished product, which is the reductio ad absurdum of the protectionist's logic. According to this argument an increase in the tariff on wool will enable manufac- turers of woolens to produce cheap CT goods from high priced wools.

PIcayun

General Miles has succeeded in having the senate committe make a favorable report for the Pacific sea coast defenses. The bill carries an appropriation of s223 ,eeo, zee, ,of which $21 100000 shall be availa- ble in the year ending June 30, 1891 S9,000,O00 a year for eleven years thereafter, and 8, 100000 in the year 1928. Favorable action was also taken on the bill provid- ing for gun factory on the Pacific coast. An appropriation of Sl,000,- GOO is made to be expended on the purchase of the site and the neces- sary plant.
 Thus 1t will be seen that Gen. Miles is exercising a most salutary influence on the Washington gov ernment in behalf of the protection of our Pacific seaboard, and it must also be remembered he Is keeping his eye on Geronimo and General Crook and their Apache scopts.-Star.

Catholics and the Schools.

The question regarding the Cath
 olics and the schools as it turns up
 on the dispotion of the Roman ec clessiatical authorities to force al the children of Catholic parents in to the parochial schools comes ur in a new and somewhat portentous form in New Jersey. An amend ment to the State constitution is proposed there whereby 1t shall be made unlawful for any person or any power, local or foreign, to attempt, by the use of coercion or dictation, to compel the attendance of chil- dren upon any particular school, or to compel, on the other hand, their absence from any particular school. The purpose of the amend ment is, of course, unmistakable. For the first time it carries beyond the stage of discussion the ques- tion between the Roman Catholic Church and the public-school sys tenn. It opens a direct conflict be- tween the Roman Church and the American Government. As will  readily be recalled, the Prothono- tary Apostolic lately served notice upon the communicants of Pat iick's Cathedral in Newark that they must remove thelr childern from public schools under penalty of communication and denial of absolution. It is true that the or der was subsequently, recalled or modified in consequence of the storms of protest that it evoked from Protestants and the signifi- cant indifference with which 1t was regarded by portion of the Cath ollie laity. But there can be no doubt that the order fairly repre- sents the preferred feeling of the Roman authorities, though they may not yet think it desirable to state their purposes so openly and blunty as was tried in the New ark case. The subject is not one to be left to the fanatics. It is not to be discussed in the spirit of race and religious animosity. It calls for calm and serious consideration Does the Catholic Church really in- tend, by the exercise of its extreme authority over it's members, to force all Catholic children out of the public school? And, if so, what at titude will that compel the Ameri- can people to take toward the church in this pect?-Providence Journal.
