Gov. Thomas of Utah is of the
opinion that there is not much use
of boasting over the alleged decline
of Mormonism until the gentle ele-
ments get control of the affairs of
the counties. Out of "a of these %
are politically in the hands of the
polygamic band. The officec are
thus employed with all their patron
age for building up the latter-day
church and for fighting the federal
authority. The governor explains,
according to the Springfield UniOu !:
The memberships, for instance, are
very lucrative offices, and tithes of
all the emoluments 90 to the church,
making from 100000 to $3.50, 700 a
year to be used in fighting the feder-
al government. Gov. Thomas thinks
that such officers as recorders, asses
sors, selectmen, superintendent of
schools and county clerks should be
appointed by federal authority. At
present these offices are passed from
father to son by the Mormons and
are thus hereditary and virtually nom
elective. The assessors favor Nor
mons and oppress Gentiles and
apostates and the selectmen and
superintendent of schools are open
partial to Mormons. While much
has been done to stampede the Utah
evil, the end is not yet, and the
United States has a great deal TO do
before it will see it driven over the
precipice.

Well Done Governor.

Governor Goodell of New Hamp-
shire has issued prohibition procla-
nation SO vigorous and emphatic in
its tone as to startle the whole state.
The prohibitory law of New Hamp-
shire has for many years been openly
and deliberately ignored, not only by
the lawdefying saloon-keeper, but
also by the officials of all grades. So
much has this been the case that New
Hampshire long ago ceased to be
counted among the prohibition states.
1t is no wonder therefore that a
newspaper correspondent should de-
scribe the Governors proclamation
as a bombshell out of a clear sky.
If Governor Goodell can carry his
party with him and secure the vigor-
Gus enforcement of the law for which
he calls he will clearly be entitled to
the gratitude and support of the
for the republican party of New
Hampshire would then be a prohibi-
ton party, and it would be absurd
for prohibitionists to oppose it. The
democrats of the Granite State are
said to be rejoicing over the new turn
of affairs in the expectation that the
attempt to enforce prohibition will
cause the overthrow of the republic
can party and give them the state.
Perhaps that would be the first effect
for a state in which the law has been
so long set at naught with impunity
is likely to receive a shock from the
first efforts to enforce it. But we
have no sort of doubt that before
long the republican party would be
restored TO power on more right
eous and therefore more substantial
basis than at present. A party that
is not willing to make sacrifices for
prlnclple can have no claims upon
good and patriotic citizens. And for
parties as for individuals it pays in
the long run to do right AS we see
it the republican party in these East
ern states and in the nation, while it
seems vigorous and successful, is
rapidly approaching a precipice over
which it is destined to fall never to
rise again, unless such men as Gov
ernor Goodell can save it by infusing
a new spirit into it-a spirit that will
stand for the right whatever be the
consequences. Then, indeed, would
the "grand old party become the
"graud new party" and the country
would be rescued from the political
demoralization.- York Witness.

tices, it rests with the Speaker to de-
eide all disputed points and his ipse
dixit as to what is general parliament
tary law is what will govern. The
Democrats would of coures, resist
decision that would tend to initiate
against them, and, as a last resort
would retain from voting, and thus
compel the Republicans to procure
the presence of quorum. The pres
ence of a quorum, however, with the
assistance of the Speaker, untram-
melled by rules, would enable the
Republicans to proceed with the cleo
ton cases and by vote to seat their
contestants.

WASHINGTON Jan. 1.-The House
Committee on rules has made no
progress in the direction of formu-
lating a new code. The Republican
members of the committee are Messrs.
Reed, Mckinley and Cannon. Each
of these gentlemen has given some
thought and attention to the matter,
but each has been so much occupied
with other affairs that no material
progress has been made with the
rules. Congress will reassemble next
Monday, and it is probable that the
House will continue without specific
code of rules for several weeks. In
the meantime the Committee on Elec-
tions is pushing the contested cases,
and the Democrats are becoming sus-
picious that the Republicans are pur-
posely delaying the rules in order
that the election cases may be dis
posed of untrammelled by the rules
that would enable the minority to re-
sort to dilatory tactics to defeat any
arbitrary action proposed by the ma
iority. 1t is understood that the
Democrats will use every endeavor to
prevent the consideration of the con-
tested election cases until the rules
have been adopted. But the House

as the parliamentary rules and prac-

The Nineteenth Century.

1t is nineteen hundred years since
Christ was born, and since new
force was introduced into human
affairs. Nineteen hundred years ago
the old Roman Empire existed in all
its magnifcence and spiendor. I'm
perial Roma meant the then known
world; but great as was the Roman
Empire, how small was that world
1t had Roma for its centre; and its
great sea was the Mediterranean
The Atlantic was uuplowed, and the
Pacific was unknown. What changes
have come in the interval b! The old
Roman Empire, permeated by the
new force, loosened and fell to
pieces and the new Roman world
the Holy Roman Empire-vitalized
by the same force, took shape and
had its day. Departure from princi-
pie brought corruption, and cOrrup-
tion worked its ruin. After the
Reformation came another and
better world-the world which is still
ours. 1t was a new world, however,
which admitted of change and gradu-
al improvement. AS the result of
the great religious and intellectual
movement, of which the Reformation
" Is an outcome, new continent had
been discovered and utilized beyond
the waters of the broad Atlantic.
just before the dawn of the century
on the last decade of which we are
about to enter, the foundations of
our great North American republic
were laid and on July IA, 1899, the
fall of the Bastile, in Paris, resound-
ed like the shock of doom throughout
the civilized world. The opening of
the nineteenth century really marked
the commencement of a new era.
And what wonderful century has
been the nineteenth Politically,
religiously, scientifically, socially,
intellectually, in every way, it has
been, as it has often been called, a
century of progress. Political re-
form, in Intimately numerous shapes
social reform, prison reform, the
ameliOration of the condition of the
working classes; material reform
the invention of the cotton Gin by
Whitney, the application of Watts
invention to locomotion by land and
sea, the utilization of electricity in
the many forms with which we are
now familiar, and many other me-
chanical appliances-all these are the
practical fruits of the century. The
too, that greatest of
modern instructors, has been bocom-
ing more and more power, as the
century has advanced. Much might |
be said of the progress of nations, of |
the diminution of slavery, Of the dis
covery and developement of new
territories, thus producing comforta-
BILE hom es and new sphere of useful
ness for overcrowded humanity but
enough has been said to show that |
the century, so far as it has advanc-
ced, has been one of marvellous pro- |
gress, and to encourage the hope
that before it's last decade shall have |
come to an end it will have revealed |
more marvellous progress still.-Maa

There were several encounters be-
tween the whites and the blacks in
different parts of the south during
Christmas week, in all of which the
blacks got the worst of it as they
always do. The worst case was in
Barnwell, S. c., where a masked
mob took eight blacks out of the jail
tied them to trees and riddled them
with bullets. Three of the blacks
were confined on the charge of mur-
der and the others with being acces-
saries and witnesses of the murder.
The details of the affair are horrible
to the last degree and show that it
was the work of savages rather than
of civilized beings. TIE better part
of the people at the south condemn
the outrage but it is hardly probable
they will use vigorous measures in
in apprehending and furnishing the
guilty persons. 1t does not show
much of the peace and good will
preached by the late Henry Grady.
