The Purpose of the mormons.

g There are reasons for thinking that it
is the purpose Of the Mormon leaders to
make Utah a Mormon state. The Nor
mons are in the majority now, and it
seems to be their purpose to greatly in
crease their majority. They are sending
missionaries TO nearly every part of this
country and Europe with instructions to
make as many converts as possible and
send them to Utah. One day last week
twenty three Mormon bishops and preach
ers passed through Chicago from Salt Lake
for points in different parts of the world
and all of them spoke with enthusiasm
of the progress the Mormon religion
is making, and of the efforts that are
being made, and will continue to be made
to promote Mormonism in Utah The
Mormons pretend to believe that the days
of miracles will come again, and that the
Mormon religion will become the religion
of the world.
Whatever their belief on these points
may be, it is certain they are confident of
filling up Utah with Mormons, and of
making 1t in sentiment, and in every other
respect, thoroughly Mormon.
They do not, of course. hope to unite
church and state, or to re-establish
polygamy. They have given up those
things entirely, but they are full of the
idea of making Utah a Mormon state
Within a year the President will issue
his proclamation admitting Utah to the
union. When that is done the Mormons
will push the work of making converts
with still greater vigor.
There is one thing to be said IN their
favor. They are industrious. They are
thrifty toilers and there are no an
archists among them. No doubt some of
them believe that miracles will in the
near future be wrought by their religious
leaders. The miracle they are likely to
witness, however, is the making of Utah
rich and populous state in a remarkably
hrinf rnaf,ind

The First Sympathetic Strike.

The method of the sympathetic strike "
says the Boston Transcript. is that of the old
woman in the nursery tale, who vas unable
10 persuade her pig to jump over the stile,
said the Rev William E. Barton IN a recent
sermon. She commanded the dog to leave
his ordinary duties and bite the pig upon the
refusal of the dog, she commanded the stick
10 teat the dog. Then, as refusal followed
refusal, she ordered the fire to burn the stick
and the water to quench the fire, and the OK
to drink the water, and the butcher to kill the
OK, and the rope to hang the butcher
and the rat to gnaW the rope, and
the cat 10 catch the rat. Here by
reason OF the old time animosity of the
cat against the rat, she succeeded. The cat
began to catch the rat and the rat to save its
life began to gnaw the rope, and the rope to
escape destruction began 10 hang the butcher
and the butcher to save his neck began to kill
the OK. and the OK began to drink the water
and the water to quench the fire, and the fire
to burn The stick, and the stick to beat the
dog Ihereupon the dog proceeded to bite
the pig. and the pig jumped over the stlle
and the woman went on her way rejoicing This
was the first sympathetic strike on record
1t succeeded, but the ethics of the system is
totally bad. No old womon, says Mr. Bar
ton, has right to set the universe in array
against itself for the soke Of getting her pig

rhe GOOD Roads uonfsrsnee.

The good roads conference, which met
recently a Asbury Park, n. j., promises
/ TO be more fruitful Of results than any
other of the conferences Of a similar
nature held within the past few years.
Besides interesting the members of the
I National Editorial Association in the
( good roads movement, the conference
made arrangements for the circulation of
a mass of instructive literature on road
/ building and road legislation, besides or
/ gaining a central committee, with the
! governor Of Vermont as chairman, to
! prosecute the missionary work. This
committee was vested with the power
TO call another conference at some future
time. and the probabilities are that it
will be held in Georgia. Atlanta is al
ready making overtures for it to be held
in that city, and there is talk to the
effect that Augusta will also put in bid.
And this suggests the question, why
should Savannah not make an effort to
bring the convention herel There is no
section of the state more interested in i'm
proved public highways than Chatham
county and the city Of Savannah. 1t is
pretty well understood that the growth
and prosperity of Savannah are involved
to some degree in the development of the
rich trucking lands of the county, and
the development ofthese lands depends, to
avery. much greater degree, upon the
building of good public roads throughout
the county, Fifty years ago the ordinary
dirt roads probably answered the pur-
poses of the farmers. But they do not
answer now. In these days of quick
freights and northern and western mar
kets for southern truck, every truck
farmers knows that every minute on the
road to the train or steamship is
valuable time, and that heavy sand and
deep mudholes, besides being killing to
teams, actually take money out of the
pockets of the farmers Chatham county,
therefore, should do everything possible
toward learning of good roads and propa-
eating a sentiment in their favor.
Gen. Stone, who has charge of the bu-
reau of road inquiry of the agricultural
department thinks the Asbury Park con-
ference will mark the opening of an era
of road building, because Of the wide pub
licity the proceedings and papers of the
convention will be given. He looks for
legislative action in several states cover
ing the subject this winter, and believes
the New Jersey plan of dividing the
expense between the state, the town
ship and the individual taxpayers
along the line of the improved road will
be popular. New Jersey, by the way, APP
propriated SIS, 900 last year for road i'm
provements, the sum to be 80 per cent. of
the amount expended in road buildingand
the remainder to be made up by the town
ship and individual taxpayers.
A novel topic that was discussed at the
Asbury Park meeting was the proposition
that city electric lines be encouraged to
extend their trolley system into the truck
growing districts, putting down such
roadbed that wagons as well as cars
might use it.

She Wore a Ring.

Ayoung man and young woman changed
from Belt line to a Fourteenth street car at
the avenue, and sat in one of the seats in the
first car, says the Washington Post.
He was carrying an overcoat and
satchel, and was evidently going
away. She wore a shirt waist and
dark skirt, as if starting out on a shop
ping expedition. just before they reached
Sixth street ne leaned over her and said
quietly, 50 quietly that only the woman back
of them could hear: Il am going to kiss you
goodby when l leave the car"
"Oh, please don't she said, appealingly:
mot before all these people"
But he was decided, and said persistently:
Yes, shall, so raise your veil If you try to
resist, people will see it and wonder about
you, ana they will look at you all the way up
town after l get off"
She glanced up shyly, and then slowly
raised her veil. He bent over her and kissed
her, and no one in the car looked up few
people wondered why she was so anxious
to show the diamond ring on the left hand,
but l am sure no one appreciated the fact
that she was trying TO justify the kissing by
means of an engagement ring.

An Incident of the Big strike.

Night before last Lew Wallace, Jr., pur-
chased ticket for Chicago, boarded a Monon
sleeper and went peacefully to sleep. fully ex-
pectlng to awaken m Chicago, says the India
napohs Sentinel In the meantime the
strikers took things in their own hands and
the Pullman car with its occupants, never
left the station. Being a sound sleeper Mr..
Wallace did not awake until morning Then
he arose and came out on the platform rub
bling his eyes In the half dazed condition of a
man half awake. Standing on the tracks was
Mr.. Jenreys, whom he has always known, but
he said:
'Stl anger, what town is this?"
His friend took in the situation at glance
and replied
This is Chicago
Wallace still rubbed his eyes and looked
around mystihed.
Why" he said, II never was in this part
OF Chicago before Then, why, what
station is it?''
The Northwestern promptly answered
the friend
Then Wallace looked at him closely and
calculated:
Why, you big liar you"
Anc, taking another look at his surround
ings, he said:

It is hardly probable that tea raising
will soon become an American industry

places in South Carolina and Georgia.
and Maj. Putney of Hardaway. Ca,
will probably demonstrate again. that tea
can be successfully grown in the south
Atlantic states. But the growing is. a
small matter; it is the harvesting and
curing that constitute the difficulty.
All the work of harvesting and curing
must be done by hand. Half dozen va
rieties of tea grow upon one bush The
top leaves have one color and flavor. and
the bottom leaves have different color

there are several grades. each of which
should be harvested aud cured sepa-

be rolled, and several other nice opera.

The Free Shin Bill.

Whatever is to be done for American
shipping by this congress will have to be
done at the next session. AS matters
stand now, the Fithian free ship bill will
/ hardly receive much, if any, more consid-
! GRAFTON at this session. When the tariff
shall have been got out of the way,
/ congressman will leave Washington
/ quickly, to look out for their political
/ fences at home.
The friends OF the bill, however, should
bring such pressure to bear upon their
congressman that at the short session the
bill will be taken up and passed. There
is not port, except the few little ship
building ports of New England, but
favors the Fithian bill. And even
New England is not wholly
against that bill. Boston wishes the
prohibitory tax upon American owners of
ships for foreign trade taken of, and the
Herald of that city is one of the most
spirited of workers for justice to Ameri-
can ship owners. The Herald calls at
tention TO the fact that certain machin-
cry for factories is admitted free, and so
are certain tools for working men, and
pertinently asks: why should the Ameri-
can ship merchant be the only one to be
deprived of using tools of his trade except
such tools as can be produced in the
United States?"
OF the vessels plying between Boston
and the ports of the Dominion, nearly
every one is owned by Boston men. yet
without exception they fly the English
flag and are registered in Canada be-
cause, having been purchased abroad, our
laws refuse them American registry Re
Gently there have been built in Great
Britain for Boston account two modern
fruit steamers, to ply between Boston and
the West Indies. These will be classed
as English vessels.
The United States commissioner of nav
igation has gathered data and published
statistics showing that the number of
vessels in the foreign trade owned by
Americans and flying a foreign flag is
greater than the number of such Ameri-
can-owned vessels flying the American
flag. The situation is anomalous, and
makes plain the stupidity of attempting
to build up the American merchant
marine by putting prohibitory restric-
ticns upon ship owners who may desire
to buy their tools Of trade" wherever
they may be had cheapest.

France is terribly in earnest in this an
archist business, and is determined to
clear the country of the pestilent fellows.
That is made evident by the course of the
anti-anarchist bill in the Chamber Of Dep
uties. The first section of the bill, as told
in our dispatches, has been passed, and
the chances are the remainder will be
passed also. The first section provides
for the removal to the correctional trib-
unals for trial without iuries of all per-
sons, who, through the press incite to
outrage or crime, who make speeches ad-
vocating murder, theft, robbery, incen-
diarism, explosions or crimes against the
state. The reason for dispensing with
jury trials in such cases is that iuries.
through fear, have been slow to convict,
and because the judges before whom the
cases will come are empowered to inflict
the severest penalties. The fear has been
expressed that the effect of the bill will
be to curtail the liberty of the press.
However, the liberty of the press that
teaches anarchy cannot be curtailed too
much or too quickly.

An incident showing how rapidly the
populist party is growing in this state oc-
CURED at Hawkinsville last week. A
populisJ meeting was held at that place
for the purpose of nominating candi-
date for the legislature. Mr. w. G. Floyd
was first put in nomination. But MIR.
Floyd declined the proposed honor Mr.
J. w. Connor was next brought before the
meeting, but ne also declined. Following
these declinations were six or eight others.
From meeting to nominate, the gather
ing resolved itself into a meeting to
search for somebody who would take a
nomination. But after three hours of
fruitless effort an adjournment sine die
was taken.
