that a pious man made the best
soldier.
The French Government is seri-
ously hampered in its Colonial policy
by the reluctance OF the peasantry,
and possibly of the soldiers also, to
allow conscriptS to be sent on distant
tropical expeditions. 1t could, for
instance, take possession Of Dahomey,
having a sound cause Of quarrel with
it's King but the B~Oulangists threat
EN-, if it does, 10 make the expedition
their stalk ing horse with the electors,
who will hear no reason on the sub
jact. They know how their sons
perish like flies in such places from
want Of sanitary care, and they sim
DIV will not have them sent there.
The Ministry are therefore obliged,
if the King retains his eve priso-
ners-whom, blythe. way, he threat
ems TO behead-tO invade his
try with three thousand native
troops from Senegal, who in all hu
man probability will be beaten, They
are better armed and oficered than
the Dahomans, but they will be Sc.
rious'y outnumbered by men OF their
own colour, and AKA MOI so certain
TO be executed if they rvn away. In
that event, the Government will be
compelled to use white soldiers, and
the Minister who does it will pr0ba-
bly, share the tate of M. Jules Ferry.
The French peasants want to defeat
Germany, and to be important in
Europe, not to create tropical settle
menls where a few planters will grow
rich, while a great many cOnscrlpts
will die annually OF malaria. That
idea Of Continental fathers, that their
sons ought to live safely through
their term of service, is a curious
check on the utility of the cOnscrip-
ton in providing masses of soldiers.
The Roman correspondent of the
Times nnOunce that a grand finan-
cial crash in the capital of Italy can
no longer be avoided. The Munici-
pality has overspent its sources in
the maddest way, and stories are rife
of lhe,wiIdest speculationS by bank
ers. The Italian Government re-
Gently came forward to The aid of
the city with a guarantee for a loan
of Sc, 600, 900 but this proved INSULT
cient, and an inquiry was ordered, the
results of which were kept secret.
They were, however, of such a nature
that the Government, it is stated,
washes its hands of Rome, a1d that
the resulting crash will ~endonger
many financial institutions, and may
he lelt in all the cities of Italy.
There is possibly some eXaggeralion
in this account, but no n questions
that great trouble is at hand as the
result of excessive extravaganza. 1T
is worth noticing that IN the United
States, in France, in New York, in
Rome, the first failure of democracy
has. been extravaganza. So it will
be also in Great Britain and London.
Democracy enjoys expenditure which
gives it a sense OF lie and power,
, 1890-05-10

to itself. 1t is alleged in Berlin that
the remark about "Christian senli-
ments" was intended to exclude Jews
bur the Emperor was probably only
repeating bis grandIather's opinion
that a pious man made the best
soldier.

A Strange Spring in the Rock.

An occasional correspondent writes:
A queer tale has just reached the ears
of your correspondent. An ice-cold spring
of clear white water was discovered flow
ing forth from crack in high rock on
the premises of Deacon Simon Pendleton,
of Stonington, last Friday. When drank,
the water has curious effect on the
drinker, for his veins commence to swell
and he looks and feels as if he were
about to burst for the next ten minutes,
after which the swelling gradually sub
sides, and no serious effect is felt except
a slight buzzing in the head for about an
hour. 1t is the talk of the town and
every one is eager to try the queer effect
of the water. A sample of the water is
now in the hands of an expert of Boston
for analysis.-Norwich Conn Bulletin.

SALT LAKE CITY, UTAH, Sept -, 1890.
TO ,chom 10 mag concern:
Press dispatches having been sent from salt
Lake City, which have been widely published
for political purposes, TO the effect that the
Utah Commission in their recent report TO the
Secretary of the Interior, allege that plural mar
riages are still being soemnzed, ahd that forty
or more such marriages have been contracted
in Utah since last June or during the past year:
also, that in public discourses the leaders Of the
church have taught, encouraged, and urged the
continuance of the practice OF polyCamy:
!, therefore, as president OF the Church of
Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints do hereby,
in the most solemn manner, declare that the
charges are false. We are not teaching polyg-
amy plural marriage, nor permitting any
person to enter into its practice; and deny that
either forty or any other number of plural mar
riagcs have during that PERIOD been solemnized
in our temples, or in any other place In the Ter
ritory.
One case has been reported in which the
parties alleged that the marriage was performed
in the Endowment House in Salt Lake City in
the spring of 1889, but have not been able TO
learn who performed the ceremony. Whatever
was done in this matter was without my
knowledge. In consequence of this alleged oc-
currence the Endowment House was by my In
structions taken down without delay.
Inasmuch as laws have been enacted by Con-
gress forb!dding plural marriages, which laws
have been pronounced constitutional by the
court of last resort, do hereby declare my in
tention to submit to those laws and to use all
my influence with the members Of the church
over which preside to have them do likewise.
There is nothing in my teachingsto the church,
or in those of my associates, during the time
specified, which can reasonably be construed to
inculcate or encourage polygamy, and when
any elder of the church has used language
which appeared to convey such teaching he has
been promptly reproved, and now publicly
declare that my advice to the Latter Day
Saints is to refrain from contracting any mar
riage forbidden by the laws Of the land

Dangerous sequels of Influenza.

From Chicago America
The effects of influenza have been carefully
noted by physicians. DIR. Verneuil has called at
tention TO the effect of influenza on injuries and
surgical and accidental wounds. 1t also effects
weak eyes. The want of recuperative force in
persons undergoing surgical operations who were
attacked with influenza was very remarkable.
Their flesh did not heal, and this was also the
case in patients who had had influenza but were
convalescent when operated upon. Trihng cases
turned out dangerous as graver ones. DR.. Ger
main-See says that we are not yet done with in
fuenza. 1t is now breaking out in a secondary
and most dangerous form, namely, that of an

..YOU OUGHT TO READ THE

The grange is to the farmers of the
norta Just what the Alliance is to the
farmers of the south.
The two organizations favor different
methods Of dealing with the great finan-
cial problem of the day, but both agree
that the situation renders the expansion
of our volume of currency imperatively
necessary.
In the report adopted by the executive
committee of the national grange, which
has been in session here within the past
few days, some important recommends
lions are made. The report calls atten-
ton to the fact that the volume of cur
rency is now only ST. per capita against
$50 in 1852 In view of the prosperity OF
the farmers and other classes in 1869 the
grangers express the opinion that SIT
per capita is too small figure. They
therefore urge congress to fix the clrcu-
lation at not less than $40 or $50 per cap
tia, and authorize the government to
lend money to the farmers at per
cent under proper restrictions. The
free coinage of silver is also recon-
mended.
The methods and details Of financial
relief should not be hastily decided upon.
The southern farmers favor the sub
treasury plan. Their northern brethren
favor direct loans from the government.
The significant point is that both the
northern and southern farmers demand
the expansion of the currency to meet
the business needs of the country.
With the agricultural classes OF the
republic solidly united on the main ques-
ton congress cannot much longer ignore
the will of the people. The precise form
in which financial relief shall come is a
matter to be considered and discussed.
The government will be compelled to
respond to the demand OF the people for
financial system that will satisfy their
legitimate and reasonable needs.-At-
lanta Constitution.

American farmers work with their
own hands and work hard. giving TO
their work as much intelligence as any
in the world, but they do not prosper.
They are getting in debt more and more.
They are not only behindhand, but their
farms are slipping out of their hands. A
mortgage in arrears on depreciating
lands is very near to deed in fee
simple. The occupant of heavily
mortgaged farm is nearer tenant than q
proprietor; he only rents money instead
of land. What thousands of Kansas
farmers paid as interest to eastern
lenders they now pay as rent to the same
eastern lenders who have become own
ers. Yet the millions which are paid in
interest and rents is small sum COM
pared with what they lose in taxes and
in protective tribute under wicked
tariff. New Orleans States
