republicans have conducted q clean
campaign; have made no personal
assault OH any of the candidates or
the opposition, leaving i for
the Leader man to publish unsav-
DRY matters with regard to their
own candidates. This was Of course
unwise and unnecessary. From oil
along the line the news is cheering,
and the indications are that every
man ON the republican ticket will
he elected. The polls should be
carefully guarded, for in the past
we know that illegal votes have
been sworn into the ballot box.
This is a strong point with the OPP
position. See to it that no illegal
vote gets inside Of the ballot box
this year. Republicans turn out
and do your duty.

JACKSON, Miss, October 3.-The Consti tutioual Convention today proceeded to consider the subject Of public education, Rs presented In the report submitted by tho Committee on Education. and the substi- tuie offered by Mir Janison. The report of the committee was explained by Gen. Lee. it's Chairman, who addressed the Convention at some length.

lefendant's Counsel siienced in the Trial
 Abruptly.
 DUBLIN, October 4,--The hearing in the case of the Goeerhment against Messrs. Dillon and O'Brien and the other National ists, who were arrested on tho charge of conspiracy, was continued in the Magis- trate's court at Tippcrary today. In the course of the proceedings question arose as to the time the trials would occupy, aud Mir. Rohan, the prosecutor for the Crown, declared that he was entirely ignorant of the time it would talse to present the case for the Government or for tho accused to make their defense. Mir. HeaIey, of coun iol for tho defendants said he was in nor al fear est the trials would last for six nonths. Mir. Hcaley's remarks excited the aughter of those present at tho hearing
 Much excitement was occasioned in the ourt room by the evidence of one of the witnesses, policeman, who testified that ie followed several of the defendants into he sestry of the Catholic Church and tried 70 cvcrhcar what was said there by them. This testimony aroused the indignation Of 'ounsel for the defendants, and he demand I'd to know if the penal days had returned, when the sanctity of the confessional could be invaded.
 The court room, became babel of cries, and the confusion was so great that 1t was impossible 10 go on with the proceedings. The court was therefore declared ad. burned for half an hour
 When the court renpeued the policeman witness was cross examined by Mir. liar. ington, who callci tho witness a"shadow." The Magistrate called upon Mir. Harring- on to withdraw the expression. Mir. Har- .ington refused to do so and was or icred to leave the case. An uproar eusaed, Ncssrs O'Brien and Dillon commenting freely upon the manner in which tho case sas conducted.
 Finally another half hour adjournment was ordered During the adjournment Mir. Harringtou's clients decided to defend themselves. When the proceedings were .csumei Mir. Dillon had just begun to ad- iress the bench, when cheer was raised for Mir Harrington This so exasperatod Inc Magistrate that he ordered the court cleared. and the proceedings wcrc ad. iourncd abruptly amid the greatest con fusion A large body of police wns rnassed outside tho court.

ABOLITION OF POLYGAMY,
Recent Decree of the "L,ttsr Da,
 saints" Subject for Reflection.

SALT LAKR, Utah, October S.-The action Of the Mormon Conference yesterday in in dorsing President WoodrufY's pronuncia mento on the question of plural marriages and thereby abolishing tho system of polyg amy, which has been preached and practicet by the self-styled saints since the forma tion of the Norman Church, naturally created great sensation in this city nrd throughout the Territory The Church leaders and followers invariably decline to discuss the subject or its probable offec, upon the Church, merely affirming that their action was taken in response to a revelation to President Woodruff from the Almighty, and they will let the Lord shoulder the responsibility for the conse. auences. Among the Gentiles opinion is divided as to the real motive of the move. While all hrc agreed that faithful ob servance and rigid enforcement of the so- called revelation would be blessing both to tho county and the Mormons them. seiVss. Many lean toward the belief that the Proaunciamcuto is sssnply part of shrewd political move, in which the es. cheated church property and the numerous cases of imprisoned polygamsts play prominent part,
 In commenting editorially upon this matter the Salt Lake Tribune this morning said; '1n the most authoritative manner possible tho Mursnoh Church yesterday repudiated polygamy as a tenet of it's faith. Tbat is, instructions were formally given to the members of tho creed to cease plural marriages. When dam is swept out of a stream, while the stream is filled with foam and debris no one can certainly know how clean the sweep is until the tnmult subsidies. Whether the act was perform in good faith or not, whether the intention is to play the fox until they. can reiustaie themselves, and from behind State lines have new revelation, it is not necessary to speculate about now The main fact IS that under weishty pressure the authori- ties ef tic Church have, in form ut least, surrendered If they arc sincere and honest, there is no lover of his country aud it's homes that will net breathe prayer of thankfalncss that hcsbegnuing of tho end of the shame and sin has come.
 ''On the other hand. fl they are not sin cere. tho effect of the changes of front can not fail to bring mighty rccoil against them in our town ranks. Locking upon IL from any standpoint, i. is mighty advance, and the ultimate result can only bs the final death of polygamy in tho United Stutpa
