NEWS AND NOTES.

Mortgages must be thick in Kansas.
A Leavenworth man proposes to wager
any sum between $4,000 and $4,000
that within thirty days he can walk from
Leavenworth to Junction City and never
take his feet off mortgaged ground except
when crossing public road or railway.
In high-license Pennsylvania, in pro-
hibition Iowa, and in local-option Massa-
chusetts, illicit liquor dealers are already
running an ''origlnal package" business
under cover of the Supreme Court decis-
ion. This fact illustrates the possibilities
of that decision as a cover to the viola
ton of any kind of restrictive law.
Bishop Potter is one of the handsomest
men in the city when he is arrayed in
evening dress. He does not look much
older than he did twenty years ago or
more, when he was rector of st. Johns
Church, Troy. The Potters are a pale
faced, clean cut race, of bilious tempera-
ment and, as a rule, long lived. They
naturally take pride in their family, for
they have had brains aplenty and means
to cultivate them. Perhaps no name in
the country is better known than that of
Potter, unless it be Field. The Potters
and the Fields for two generations have
been prominent, brainy men. Few, if
any. Of their names have ever had con-
nection with the potter's field.-N. Y.

London, England, in its issue of April
30, 1890, prints conspicuously the follow

man at Sidney, New South Wales, Aus

of work here in Sidney, and $50 were
counted lying about the parks a few
nights ago, having nowhere else TO go.

ANornER pLow no MoRMoNpON.

Slowly but surely the half ecclesiasti
cal, half political institution known as
the Mormon Church is crumbling away
under the hostile Legislation of the
United States. 1t is not to be expected
that the work of years is going to be UNI
done in a moment, but the Edmunds'
law in Utah, supplemented by the sum
mary Ienactments of Idaho and Wyom-
ing, is attacking Mormonism where it
was once strongest, and lessening year
by year the menace from that source.
The decision of the United States Su-
preme Court sustaining the judgment Of
the Territorial Supreme Court, that the
Edmunds' law is constitutional, is
tremendous blow 10 the Mormon hier-
archy, which must make il realize with
keenness that this is the beginning of
the end. Under this decision the Nor
mon Church corporation is dissolved, its
affairs placed in the hands of a Receiver
and the bulk of its real estate esoheated
to the Government. The MormOns
would rise in rebellion against the decis-
ION if they dared to; but, hemmed in up
ON all sides by an aggressive Gentle civil
lization, they no recourse other than to
submit. The decision stripping the hier-
archy Of the larger portion of its proper
ty means good deal more now than il
would have meant years ago, when the
spiritual and intellectual factor in the
Mormon Church was greater. Now the

OUR CENSUS OF MANUFACTURES.

On the I'd day of June the work of
collecting statistics of manufactures for
the report of the Eleventh Census will
be inauguTated throughout the entire
country. The value of this report must
depend wholly upon the accuracy and
th0rOughness with which manufacturers
answer the questions propOunded.
The personal interests of every manu-
facturer are involved in the character of
the report on Manufactures. 1t will be
quoted for the next ten years as the
official announcement of the erdct indus
trial condition of the country, and will
be the basis for any future legislation
that may be enacted in regard to the
wants of our people, whether engaged in
agricultural or mechanical pursuits.
Therefore it is of vital importance to
each manufacture that an accurate report
shall be made.
The Superintendent of Census has
taken every possible precaution i'll the
preliminary work to make this census
complete and satisfactory, and the earn
est cooperation of those engaged in pro
ductive industry is all that is now neces-
sary to secure valuable results.
Every manufacture should bear in
mind that his answers to the questions
relating to his business are held strictly
confidential, are not disclosed to any
competitor or to other persons, and are
not used by the government as predicate
for the purposes of taxation or license
or in any way to adversely affect his in
dividual business. This assurance is
printed on each schedule over the sigma
ture of the Superintendent of Census.
The expert Special Agent in charge Of
this branch of census work, Mr.. Franl
r. Williams, has personally visited the
principal manufacturing centers and con
suited representative manufacturers, tn,
publishers of trade journals, and practi
cal business men generally, for the pur
pose of ascertaining the proper scope o.
the inquiry for each branch of manufac
ture. The questions contained i'll TIN
census schedules are those suggested b!

A SOUTHERN GENTLEMAN.

At the dinner station where we stopped
one day on a certain Tennessee railroad
almost the first sight which greeted the
eye of those who got off was rough
burial box on the platform, and seated
near it was an old black woman with q
handkerchief to her eyes. When kindly
asked the cause of her sorrow, she point
ed to the box and replied:
''De old mans in dar."
'Your husbandn'

"And what are you doing with the
body here?"

but hain't got money 'nulf to take il

"What nonsense!" exclaimed n man,
as he came forward. whats the diff
ference where a niger is buried? They
want her to bury it here, but she won't.
She's determined to take it to Charles
town."
''For what reason?" asked the passen-

he went over to him. ''rd rather be a

He entered the express Office, paid for
the shipment of the body, bought the
widow a ticket to CharlestOwn, and then
dropped ten dollar gold piece in her
hand and said:
''Give him decent funeral, nanny,
and this will put up headboard to mark

Mormon leaders make very little pre-
tense of relying on abstruse considera-
tions to win converts to their creed.
Their proselyting is done mainly among
the meanest and most illiterate class of
immigrants, whose adherence they secure
by inducements in the way of material
prosperity. When, once stripped of
their rich possessions, they are no longer
able to offer that, it is difficult to see
how the Mormon priesthood can gather
reinforcements from any quarter to be-
gin to Offset the steadily increasing ratio
of defections from the church. boston
