pArsIoTIsM NOT POLITICS iN-
 yOLxED.

The incident mentioned by our contemporary of Mormons voting for a republican candidate for sherih of thi. county, would, to conserva- tive mind, be sufficient to demon strate that we are not actuated by political prejudice in denouneing this disloyal sect. We have not made war on this alleged religious organization because its members vote the democratic ticket. We have done SO. knowing full we'll the elan
 nishness of the believers in Brigham Young, and believing that 1t tends to the destruction of our republican form of government, to in any way
 handler to a class of citizens who will
 not set upon any question until ad-
 vised from Salt Lake City as to what
 course to pursue.
 It matters not to us whether Mor-
 mons are republicans or democrats.
 So long us the central authorities in | Utah have the power to dictate in
 what manner the Mormons in An-
 zona shall exercise the elective fran
 chise. we wilontinue to object. | We know of another instance m
 northern Arizona where a republican
 was elected to the office of sherisl
 through the instumentality of Nor
 mon votes. But this is only anothe'
 evidence of the non-politicai fight which We arc making.
 If our contemporary believes thai by endorsing Mormonism he is thnd , ing this sect to the democratic part, he Is egregiously mistaken. Thu church uses its members as the m terests of the church may be con , cerned. Belief in the principles Q
 the democratic party is not the req . son which makes Mormons vote 10 , democrats. They do SO at the pres
 ent time believing that it will ad i, vance the cause of Mormonism. n Within the last six months oSer r lures have been made to the repuh l. licans of this territory, by the lead f CTS of this church, having in view Q change of political faith, desertio n from the democratic ranks. Bu this will not deter the republica !, press from continuing the good fgh 2 against Mormon rule in Arizona.
 Time will prove the righteousness o of our cause, and no matter wha !, political party the Mormons ma u affiliate with, the republican part will be found opposed to this chure for the simple reason that it is
 church organization which boasts its unlimited power over its men s' bers, aud because it exercises ths 'e power, not alone in religious br m political affairs, and the right to d
 so is recognized by the Mormons I: the unanimous manner in which the O. vote as commanded to do. This h un-American. This is in direct ol T position to our ideas of republi i. This is placing the church above tt 1t state. This is wrong from any an n all points of view. And whether Is results in benefit to republicans ( le democrats, we still insist it is wron ,' and for that reason alone the repul Te lican party will continue to d. .e nounce it.

The interest in Mir. Blaine's health seems to reach from pole to pole. Everybody inquiries anIiously for the last bulletin concerning his recent attack of indigestion. The reason IS not far to fetch. It lies in the fact that the people of this country are divided into two classes-those who are terribly afraid that MT. Blaine will not be able to make the Presidential race next year, and those who are equally afraid that he will be.-N. Y. Herald.

 When the bill was introduced in the last democratic legislature, pro- viding for calling a constitutional convention, the JoURNAL-MNER warned that body that it would be unjust to the citizens of the territory to be compelled to pay the expense of such a fruitless measure. That when an enabling act was passed by congress means would be furnished by the general government to pay the expense of holding a convention. The case of Dakota was cited where the same course was pursued as that proposed by this democratic meas ure and which proved entirely futile of the purpose intended. Dakota not only held her convention, framed a constitution and adopted it, but elected state officers, all without the authority of congress. Then, with the machinery of her state govern

TEE LAXATIVE GUMDROP.

Those of our readers who are trou
bled with dyspepsia, long continued
constipation or any difficulty with their
digestive organs ought to try the new
LAXATIVE GUMDROPS. They are
better than any sugar coated pills be-
cause they do not have to be swaI-
lowed whole and there is no pain or
gripping afterwards. They are mild,
pleasant in their effects and easy to
take because they do not differ in APP
pearance or in flavor from the ordi-
nary gumdrop. In fact no one can
tell that they are taking medicine from
the taste. Then there is no danger con-
nected with them. They can be given
to children without any fear. From
two to three constitute a dose but
more can be taken without i'll results.
They act quietly and mildly. The eff
feet is as marked the second day as it
is the first, and on this account they
differ from the ordinary cathartic.
They come in boxes at 10 and IS
cents. Get them of any dealer.

Wanted---Only an Equal Chance.

Mary Frost Ormsby, in Chicago News.
If we are put in this world to live,
and if living depends upon the applica-
ton of our labor to land, then If every
body have an equal chance with every
body else to land, there can be no such
thing as involuntary poverty, provided
the worker has possession of his physi-
cal and mental faculties So long as
land, one of the primary necessities to
human existence, can be trafficked in
like the products of labor, human GU
pidity will always force poverty upon
the sons of men. If we can arrange it
so that all can have an equal chance at
natural opportunities wealth viii easily
and satisfactorily be distributed
The best and simplest way to bring
about this equality of chances is by the
single tax, by making it Improbable
for any man to hold land out of use.
OF what good is it to talk of wisely
bestowed charity as the solution? I'M
fortunate slum hordes of New York.
Would that do any good? Not at all.
The landlord, the man who owned the
land, would simply be enabled to exact
and get more rent, and one can be sure
his demand would be up to the increased
ability to pay on the part of the tenants.
Or, suppose the religion of Christ,
which / so love, to have done its perfect
work in these slums, if we can imagine
such thing, conditions being as they
are, and made every body there sober, vir-
tuous, Industrious? Result, more men
asking for work; greater demand for
the use of land. Wages would go down,
rents would go up. who would profit
by this? The owner of the land. This
result must be so, since all progress and
improvement come from the use of land.
Take Robinson Crusoe as land owner
and Friday as his tenant, as an ex.
ample. If Friday, dissolute and lazy,
will raise but ten bushels of wheat,
Crusoe might ask but eight bushels Of
rent If Friday, sober and a christian
raise 100 bushels, Crusoe might not only
take ninety-eight bushels. as rent, bat,
as a shrewd landlord, might indeed say:
ssYou have learned to live more frugaliy,
hence give me ninety-nine bushels; one
is plenty for any man not spe nd.

SAVED FROM A TIGER.
Courage and Agility Combined to Effect a
Thrilling Rescue.

Coura ee and Agility Combined to Effect q
Thrilling Rescue.
Many years ago small circus ana
menagerie, in the course of its travels,
arrived at little town in France. Lopez,
the trainer of the wild animals, was
also a clever acrobat. For some time
he had been training a lad named
Daniello as an acrobat, and now de-
cided to permit Daniello to appear for
the first time in public. In order to
give his pupil confidence, the master
began putting him through a final prac-
tice Just before the hour for opening
the circus to the public. Young Dani-
clio, having gone throu gh part of his
task, was resting on the bar for a
moment.
Suddenly Lopez, higher up, gave
start, and looked with amazcment to-
ward corneI of the circus.
''The tiger,f he cried.
IL was too'true. The animal had es-
capped from it's cage and found its way
into the circus. Immediately it became
aware of the pr essence of the two aero
bats, and prepared tospring at Daniello,
who was with in easy reach. Lopez per-
ceived the danger of his Dung pupil.
''Climb up beside me-" he shouted,
''make haste. Seize one of the ropes
and climb"
For the moment, however, Danicllo
had lost all his presence of mind, and it
was quite wonder that he did not fall
to the ground.
For tunately the lad recovered his self
possession, and quicker than thought,
just as the fierce animal sprung towards
him, he seized one of the ropes near at
hand and clambered upwards out Of
immediate danger, while the tiger, in
stead of capturing Daniello only seized
the bar that the young acrobat had just
left, causing it to swing to and fro, and
becoming enta ngled in the ropes. 1t
was, however, apparent that the animal
would soon disengage itself and would
probably make another spring, this
time with greater ferocity.
Suddenly big piece of raw meat was
thrown into the area just beneath the
tiger. At the sight of this the animal
dropped from the rope, pounced upon
the meat and began to devour it. Then
for the first time the tiger perceived the
presence of other prey. Several yards
away stood young girl of twelve years
of age. She attracted the animals at
tention by calling to it, and in mo-
ment tn already enraged animal sprung
toward her.
But the brave girl had anticipated
this, and quicker than her enemy she
ran down one of the passages familiar
to her and entered large cage consist
ing of two compartments. The tiger en-
tered after her, Tut not before the girl
had succeeded in reaching the second
part of the cage, a nd had securely closed
the gate after her, SO that the tiger
could not follow.
AS soon as Lopez perceived the child's
action he leaped to the ground and fol-
lowed after tn EN-, arriving just as the
girl had closed the gate of the second
cage. 1t was only the work of mo-
ment to secure the tiger, and then Lopez,
with his heart full of gratitude. entered
the cage and clasped his child in his arms.
my dear, brave Mariel.' he cried,
with JOY and pride, you have saved us
both. Chicago Journal

DE MORNY IN AMERICA.

"Reminiscences of the Distinguished
Frenchman Of Dueling Fame.
A slender, boy ish-looking young fell
low, but little over twenty and looking
less; not NOR than five feet four inches
in height, rosy complexion, merry eyes
and just suspicion of a light mustache;
dressed in ad mirable taste; a quick,
nervous way of talking; speaking En-
glish gramma tically and even idiomatic-
ally, but wit h such an accent that a
knowledge of French was almost neces-
sary to und erstand him-such in 1881
was the young Due de Morny, when he
visited this country for the first and
only time. AS the g randson of Queen
Hortense and the son of Napoleon the
Thirds half-brother, minister and am
bassador, he was an obje ct of interest;
but as a member of the jury of honor in
the Drayton-Borrowe scandal far more
interest attaches to his personality.
The young nobleman spent some
weeks i n the conventional amusement
of we althy tourist-hunting big game in
the far west but his tastes did not lie
especially in that direction, and he be-
spent only two days in Louisville and
made few if any acquaintance here,
but when he reached New Orleans the
French idea and mode of life in vogue
there delighted him and he remained in
that city several weeks. He echoed
Thackeray's words of praise of southern
hospitality; and another thing southern
that he liked was the absence of adula-
ton of himself as a nobleman. Gre
bleur' he used to say; what differ
ence here if man be a duke? In Eu-
rope it is not like here. A title gives
privileges. You can cut up as you please
and not be arrested Here you would not
put me in Jail as quickly as you would
my valet Why then in some places did
they make show of me? did no. en-
joy it."
The consequences of the Prince I'm
perial's death he estimated justly He
said that all the hopes of the party died
with him. The son of Eugene, he
thought, would have been emperor of
France had he lived ten years longer,
but no other member of the family
wonld be received as ruler by the
French people. In view of De Morny's
subsequent career one remark of his is
noteworthy. "His death alters my life,'
he said. Il would like to enter the
diplomatic service of my country, but
the only future for me would be with a
Bonaparte on the throne. What is left
for me except to enjoy life?'
And De Morny has doubtless enjoyed
life, though not in the way that those
who knew the bright young fellow

Dor, receiving wages from the employ
ing capitalists, who superintend the
work, handle the product in the mar
ket, and take the risks of trade, for
which they receive what is left after
paying wages to their men and royal
ties to landlords. The miners noticed
that the operators were losing money
in low prices, and, fearing that this
loss would soon react upon them in a
reduction of wages, they struck for the
purpose of diminishing the supply and
thereby raising the price of coal But
as the strike went on their attention
was called with greater emphasis
than ever before to the unearned
share of their product which the
landlords were talking; and with one
voice, says the News correspondent, the
Federation has denounced what the cor
respondent bluntly calls Landlord
Matchmaking. Speaking of typi-
cal colliery the correspondent says that
the miner ''gets less than shilling a
ton, while the do-nothing, the lord of
tie soil and all that is beneath it, ex-
tracts the full shilling" He adds:
This means that by species of rob-
berry, which landlord parliaments in an
era of documentary national develop
ment made legal and respectable, this
particular landlord extracts as much
money from that particular colliery in
course of the year as would maintain a
whole settlement of miners during the
same period" This plain speaking in
