The movement, started here in Boston,
looking to the establishment of libraries in
the small towns of the state, is attracting
good deal of attention outside, and the idea
seems likely to tako root. so as to benefit
other towns than those in Massachusetts. 1t
is an exceedingly happy thought. and it de-
serves its popularity.

The January just passed has generally
been regarded as a very remarkable sort of

way OF Januaries. But by a comparison of
the record of the past eighteen years, it APP
pears that 1t was not very remarkable after
all. The mean temperature was 1872. The
mea=-temperature of the corresponding
month last year was 2S.4, considerably high
er. During the last eighteen years there
have been ten Januaries that were colder
and eight that were warmer. The really re-
markable Januaries of the series. as far as
temperature is concerned, were that of 1880,
when the mean temrerature was 1928, slight
ly above the freezing point, and that of 1888,
when twas down to 14.S. In the matter of
temperature the last month appears to have
been about an average. There is pothing

The people of Boston are doing their best
to Judge from the papers. to find some fault
with their fire department that will account
for, or at least excuse, the great confagra-
lions that have occurred in that city. The
controversy may bring out some valuable
points 1t seems probable, however, that
the fault lies not with the department, but
with the buildings. Fire departments as

The opinion of the Supreme Court of the
United States, affirming the constitutlonali-
ty of the Edmunds test oath act. strikes
very severe blow to Mormon political power
Under the act, as prerequisite to suffrage,
men may be required to take oath that they
neither practice nor teach polygamy or biga-
my, nor belong to an organization which
practices or teaches it. This will compel the
Mormon saints to choose between disfTan-
chisement or perjury with its pains and
penalties. Its practical effect will be to
keep them away from the polls. In the new
constitution OF Idaho is clause disfranchis-
ing polygamists, or believers in polygamy,
about the constitutionallty of which there
has been some doubt. This opinion seems

COMMITTEES work. In 1882 Grand Master
Samuel N Rockhill appointed him to the
Office of grand marshal, which position he
filed in such a creditable manner that the
grand master, in making his official report to
the grand lodge, could not refrain from say
ing: ITO the grand marshal l am especially
indebted for his faithfulness in accompanying
me in my visits to lodges"
At the annual session Of 1888. with six op-
ponents, he was elected and installed grand
warden. In 1854 he was elected deputy grand
maste. seand at the session of 1885 he was pro-
noted to the office of grand master, the high
est Office within the gift Of his brethren Of
the state.
He is strong believer in woman's cooper
alton in good works, and hence naturally is a
warm advocate of Rebekah degree lodges.
