outright robbery; the men plum.

of Republicans. The past weeks

The Meteorological Bureau Of the
East Indian Government, saidtobe The
most efficient institution of the kind in
the world, is remarkably successful in
forecasting the movements of the
winds and waters, aud it is thus highly
seryiceable to the people Of that
country. We regretto say that our
own Weather Bureau is less efficient.

food that has just destroyed life and

1t is reported as one of the aston-
ishing sights of Sonthern California
that Chinese laborers who have rented
farms and are working on the cooper
alive plauI utilize themselves as blasts
of burden This was also an old Nor
man habit. although with the Nor
mons it was hardly the voluntary ac-
ton dictated by a chance to economize,
as moves the Chinese to do this work.
Mormon civilization, until the gentiles
put modern IDEAS and methods into
the heads Of the, Saints was of the
Oriental kind, except that woman's
place was not idling in harem, but
working the fields ut was literally
cheaper TO marry than to hire help. 1t
is tins lowering of the idea of humani-
ty, as shown in thefMormon concep-
ton of women, and the Chinese idea
of both sexes, this divergence from the
customs of the rest of the nation, that
raises the problem of the Mormon and
the Cinnamon as citizens.
