Mayor Sarxent's Views.

NEW HAVEN, Jan. 27.-Mayor Sargent delivered an address before the trades councils on the subject of Municipal Own ership." The address was in the main pari discussion of the proposed control by tho city of the street railways, gas, water ant light supply. The mayor strongly advo cated this movement, and gave a detailed review of water and light supply of the principal cities of the country. Interested people, he said, talk of vested rights, but there are no vested rights too sacred to be touched if the interests of the people de manded it. Officers of municipalities are often elected by monopolies. The remedy would be to remove the cause by purchas ing such concerns as furnish the water, gas, light and local transportation. This would be an easy matter if properly carried out. A monopoly we'll conducted, how ever, is preferable to civil war between rival concerns.
 A Mothers Sad Plight.
 HARTFORD, Jan. 27.-Mrs. Ann Stapleton has been taken from the town house to the insane retreat at Middletown Her story is sad one. A short time ago she was a happy wife and the mother of two chil- dren. Now she is widow, one of her children is dead and she is insane Some time ago her husband died, leaving her very poorly off. For while she struggled on. At length her children were taken ill with diphtheria. They were removed to the hospital, but she would not leave them. and sat watching by their cots night and day. At last one of them, little girl. died. Then the mother succumbed and she was carried to the town house insane. As she had grown no better she was taken to Middletown, where it is hoped that un- der the treatment at the hospital there she will recover.

Tin the church on temple lot, that Jesus
Christ did not perform the miracle Of
making wine" and second, in saying at
the same place, that he "did not believe
that st. Paul instructed Timothy 20 use
wine for his stomach's sake" Belief in
the miracle, and in the fact that st. Paul
did make the remark TO Timothy is, the
Franklins declare and prove, an accepted
part of their creed, and has been ever
since its acceptance by "the Palmyra seer
Joseph Smith) in 1890"
Whether from tenacity Of faith IN the
miracle and that st. Paul made the alleged
remark to Timothy, or from sympathy
with their opposition to the bishops
dress reform movement, the Franklins
seem to have a majority of the branch
membership-especially the female por-
tion-heariiIy with them. Ii is we'll
established fact, not seriously contro-
verted, that the bishop made the skepti-
cal remarks attributed to him, but it may
be worth noting that they were made
long time ago, but were not thought OF as
a subject of arraignment until his brain
became affected by that other conceit Of
forcing Sister Franklin to wear an unbe-
coming coaI-scuttle bonnet. Which still
further confirms the idea that intolerance
is relative.

The treatment that the Car of Russia is
melting out to the Hebrews of his realm
Is reconcilable with no other theory than
that the monster is insane. In the medi-
eval ages, when plumber and spoliation
were the only pastimes of the nobility and
gentry, and the only means to which they
would condescend to resort for the reple-
ton of their fortunes; when might was
the only rule Of right, such performances
as he is now indulging in at the expense of
these his inoiIending subjects, would have
passed unnoticed or as matter of course,
but in the light of current civilization all
enlightened countries and peoples are in
expressibly shocked by them.
The Gar is resting none too securely on
his throne at the best. No modern ruler
has had more or stronger reasons for striv-
ing to placste rather than TO aggravate
and incense his subjects of whatever creed
or calling. And it is notorious that in all
his dominions there are none of his sub
jects more inoffensive, industrious, frugal,
orderly and law-abiding; none less dis
posed to foment revolutions. stir up dis
sensions or in any way NEEDLE in politics
than are the Jews.
If he were sane, and disposed 10
strengthen his position rather than 10
weaken it, and capable of dispassonate
observation, and of comparison, and of
reasoning from cause to effect, he had but
10 observe and inform himself of the
grandly beneficial effects which have ac-
crued TO England and the United States as
a result of fair and honest treatment and
the melting ont of exact and equal justice
to their Jewish populations. To no one
cause is more largely due the impregnable
credit and the commanding, constantly
expanding commerce of these countries.
No portion of their population is more
orderly, more law-abiding, more industri-
Gus or enterprising, prompter in paying
all necessary taxation or in any duty of
good citizenship, none are more liberal
patrons Of the arts and of all refining
agencies and influences, and no class sun
plies 8 smaller proportion of inmates TO
the penal or charitable institutions of
these countries.
What the Jews Of England and the
United States are, as result of fair and
just treatment, their brethren in Russia
would become under similar circum-
stances. They are of the same race, creed
and impulses. And Russia's experience
will conform to that of all other countries
of which history has made any record,
that prosperity and stability cannot be en-
ioyed contempovaneously with persecution
OF these people. 1t is clear that with all
Of these lessons staring him in the face.
nothing bat rank insanity could have
prompted the Gar 20 his revival of me-
dieval intolerance and ferocity against
these peaceful and helpful people.

MEMORIAL DAY.

AT late hour last night the following
was furnished to the Posr-ISTELLIGEscER
for publication:
WHEREAS, The national and state governments
and the people of the United States of America,
recognizing the great service OF her heroic dead,
who freely gave their lives that the nation
might live, have set aside the 30th day of May
in each and every year as a day sacred TO the
memory of those heroes, and IL being meet that
the public schools and churches and Christian
organizations OF all kinds should observe said
day and join IN the general services of Memorial
day, and having learned that the officers of the
public schools, the Madison street Methodist
Episcopal church and Young Mems Christian
Association have selected Memorial day for the
occasion Of 'pcnies'' for said associations be it
Resolred, By the members OF the Grand Army
of the Republic of Seattle that
we unqualiiedly condemn the action OF
the officers and teachers of our public
schools and the SAID Christian organizations as
disrespectful 10 the memory OF our dead COM
rades, and We request that the officers OF our
public schools declare the said picnic abandoned
for that day. so as to permit the children OF our
people TO be taught lesson OF loyalty to the
government OF the United states by being al
lowed 10 participate in the exercises OF Memorial
day. And further, that we most earnestly re-
quest the members OF the Madison street NJ. +.
church and Young Mems Christian Association
TO abandon their picnics for that day, and show
at least semblance of respect to the memory of
those who saved the nation. By order Of posts.

The PosT-ISTELLIGEScER is in full SYM
pathy with the sentiment which prompts
this communication. To turn Memorial
Day into day of festivity-to make it a
pleasure days out of keeping and a
manifest improperly. 1t is not for one
moment to be believed that disrespect to
the veterans was intended by those who
have arranged for picnics on Memorial
Day. But there has been a thoughtless
disregard of propriety. There is time to
correct the mistake and it should be cor
rected.

HErERoDoxY IN MoRMoSpoM.

Certain of the Mormous are falling into
nc fashion that has broken out in some
,ther denominations. and are having their
lissensions about orthodoxy and hetero-
loxy. One of these has taken peculiar
md lively turn in the branch founded
sy the late Granville Hedrick. at INDIE
,endence, Missouri, known as Hedrickites,
II which Charles Hall is bishop.
A short time ago Bishop Hall concluded
nat the members of his tlock-especially
he sisterhood-were straying from the
Bihle rule of simplicity in dress, and were
yiven 70 gewgaws, fripperies and fashion

naturalization is alike granted TO the
qualified and unqualified, the worthy and
the unworthy, 10 those who perjure them
selves in acquiring ii no less than to those
who tell the truth, the proceeding will
soon become sn object of general con-
tempt, and the acquisition of citizenship
will be robbed of any honoring or honor
able distinction.
This report shows that the most fragrant
abuses in the past have been not so much
due TO defects in the laws as 10 laxity or
worse in their administration. An instance
not at all exceptional--is cited, where, IN
the city Of New York, within few weeks
of October and November just preceding
an election. no less than s., 900 applicants.
each requiring two witnesses, were ex-
amined. and &, 900 letters of naturalization
granted.
Allowing that the twenty-four courts OF
hat city were in continuous session on
these cases from a. m. to noon, and from
/ to p. m. six days in the week, passing
upon one application every five minutes
palpable mpossibility--even at that rate
they would have been able to naturalize
but ESQ in four weeks. To have disposed
of 6s, 900 within four weeks, negleeting all
other business and working ten hours a
day, would have required the natuTaliza-
ton of nineteen each minute. And this,
if the law had been faithfully complied
with, would have required the swearing
and examination, not only of nineteen APP
pIicants. but also of thirty-eight witnesses,
ffty-seyen persons in all, for each minute
of the time.
The report, on documentary evidence,
says: Thousands have been made citi-
zens almost Immediately after they had
landed, who were unable to speak Eng
lish, whose fitness had been in pro forma
manner sworn to by professional wit
nesses. and yet judges, under the seal of
the court, have certified that 1T appeared
to their satisfaction. after due examina-
ton and inquiry, that the applicants were
persons of good moral character, attached
TO the principles of the constitution of
the United States and we'll disposed to
the good order and happiness of the
same"
A g5od many suggestions have been
made as to the proper remedies for these
outrages against the rights and dignity of
true citizenship, native and adopted: such
as a requirement that applicants shall
give public notice of intention to apply on
a day named and to a specified court; that
the application shall be signed and the
testimony taken down in writing, to be
signed by applicant and witnesses. and
that naturalization may be attacked and
anaulled for fraud or misrepresentation.
All of this may be well enough, but as
to such cases as above cited prompter
and more efficacious course would be to
make such showing, or anything to be
compared with it, or any failure on the
part of the judge to make his examina-
ton thorough and searching, conformable
to the letter and spirit of the law, an i'm
peachable offense and work forfeiture of
his Office and other adequate penalties.
