PoLYGAMY's doom is sealed. The last
prop has been knocked from under the
"Church' OF the self-styled Saints OF Nor
monism, and if it prospers in the future
it will have to do so wholly independent
OF the state, bereft of all political power
completely. The decision of the supreme
court of the United States, growing out OF
the Acknowledgement OF polygamsts in
Idaho and touching the constitutionality
OF the Edmunds-Tucker act, marks an
epoch in the history Of American institu-
tons. POlygamy is crime. The consti
tutional provision guaranteeing freedom OF
religious sentiment does not prevent the
punishment OF any person who in the
name of religion commits crime in the
eyes of the law. This momentuous ques.
ton has been nearly half century right
ing itself, but now it is right for all time.
The law abiding people of the west, es-
pecially those OF Idaho, Utah and Arizona,
may well rejoice over the elimination OF
this long struggle.

THE Taos County Herald makes the fol-
lowing comment upon the appointment Of
Prof. Ladd to be census supervisor for
New Mexico:
The appointment of Prof H. 0. Laid,
Of Santa Fe, as supervisor of census for
the district of New Mexico, will come as
near giving satisfaction all over the terri
tory as any that has ever been made
Prot. Ladd has been citizen of New
Mexico for nearly ten years, during which
time he has made for himself most en-
viable reputation. He was instrumental
in organizing the university of New Next
co, OF which institution he was president
for number of years. In educational
matters no other man, perhaps, has
labored with more zeal or more success.
He has done much to secure for the In
dams q good system Of schooling, and has
thereby made himself warm friend OF
this race. He is a most excellent and pop
ular gentleman, at all times ready to assist
in advancing the interests of the territory,
and his appointment will be hal led With
delight BY his innumersble friends.

SOME of the capitalists, holders OF terri
torial warrants, are dissatisfied with the
policy of the territorial administration in
redeemiug bonds OF the territory when
ever there is money in any sinking fund,
and thereby reducing the actual debt and
the interest account. They desire all
surplus funds simply kept back for the
purpose of redeeming outstanding way
rants held by them. We do not see
where the complaints OF these gentlemen
come in or what they are kicking at they
are doing right well. They bought the
warrants at good discounts, that is good
discounts for them, and are drawing a
good rate Of interest on them. That be-
ing the case, wha' is the row about? DO
they want any more than is lawful AMI
proper? 1t looks that way. We are OF
the opinion, however, that the great ma
jOrity of the warrant holders are MOI
complaining. 1t seems as if only
| UAIt VI wv SICtNlN OlitS aiC 'ilD0utlHlI''i'
| tner cause IL a DAD one. ANY man OF
any set of men, compelled to get aid OF
alleged aid from the Albuquerque Black
mailer Democrat and the Judas Grove
behind it, can not, in any possibility
have a just or honest cause.
The law upon the subject is as follows
Section 2552 Compiled Laws, 1854
concerning the management Of the peui'
tentiary interest and sinking fund says
Whenever a sum of not less than 80 ,O0t
has accumulated i'll the treasury the gov
ernor Shall advertise for period of thirty
days III such newspapers as he may select
tor bids for the sale Of said bonds, and at
The expiration thereof, he snail purchase
from the lowest bidders bonds to the
amount Of money that may be in the
treasury for that purpose.
Gov. Prince has advertised in accord
ance with law for the sale to the territory
of $4,000 worth of penitentary bonds,
The cavilngs OF a few interested specula-
tors can not swerve him from the plain
duty laid down by the law.

Lieut. Srlwatka has gone east with u

cliffs and in caves throughout New Mex
leo and Arizona canons Ii these rock
climbers were thus descended, how should

These may he starved or fugitive Indians
OF Sonora or other provinces OF Mexico,
who. having fled from their enemies i'll
recent wears, have degeuerated all the
more quickly to contamination in these
enforced ways of living amid the wilds
and in the caves OF the Sierras. How
ever, this is a good show for thousand
cameras and a starter for profound re-
marks and dispositions in prehistoric
ages among our learned eastern brethren
1t, however, takes the moss off OF such
relics to live in our southwest While and
traverse our barren canons. These ref
ayes for tribes and peoples whose de-
scendants live the unpicturesque life Of
the Pueblo Indians are claimed as an
cestral holdings by these same Indians,
of no great age, and to have served good
purposes as sheep folds and goat herd
Crannies.
We would like best to see these people
in their native eyries and have them
solve the problem of climbing 800 feet OF
the face OF PERCEPTIONS rocks, rs they are
to-day. They must have longer toes and
sharper claws than IS our usual endo"
ment to do it. If they have history VT
would like to separate it from Idle tales

A Relic of Slavery Davs.

Kansas City, Mo-, Nov. Pan inter
esting relic of the slavery days is the
case Of Elizabeth Belts against the ex-
ecutors Of Elijah Harvey, deceased. In
February 1859, Elijah Harvey gave to
his daughter, Mrs. Belts, a girl slave
whom Mrs. Belts retained a number OF
years. The girl finally became unman-
ageable and was put up for sale. Har-
vey offered to take back the girl and
give his daughter $500 for her. The
slave was returned upon these terms.
Harvey died in 1887 without having full
filed the contract. After her fathers
death Mrs. Belts filed claim against
the estate, and a judgment in the lower
courts for $500 has just been sustained
by the appellate court.
