Two Republics.
A great Mormon colonization scheme
is n0g practically perfected in northern
Mexico, which in size and importance
rivals the first migration of the saints
to Utah. A contract is drawn up for the
purchase by the church of ), 600, 900 acres
of Land and the settlement on this tract
0f20, 900 Mormon eOl0nists. The move is
the elimination of plan long brewing
by which the MOrIn0ns are to remove in
large numbers from their gentile-inyaded
territory around Salt Lake and make a
new start for themselves and their relig
ion in Mexico The eyes of the Marmons
are now fixed, as their .ftlture abiding
place, on their territory known as the
Delg0lladO district, in northern Chihna-
hIia, about l2O miles south of the New
Mexico line of the United States bound
airy. The grant covers 4616sgHare miles.
The natural vegetable growth is very
rich and over the inlnese ranches roam
thousands Of cattle aud horses from the
the neighboTlng haeiendas, while feeding
on the heavy grass are many deer, ante
lOpe and other game. The new settlement
iH time is expected TO number from co.
900 to 100, 900 PEOPLE. When questioned
as TO the political significance Of this
new move Of Morm0nism, d prominent
member Of the church said that 1t had
none iI particular. No pnlggany will
not be re-estahlished by our people after
leaving the United Statestn lie answered

A Century's Interest Has Converted $4,000
Into S7H0.0OO


Zone hundrOd years ago next month,
says il B0stOnian in the Washington
Post 'Beniaman Franklyn left fund of
5000, which he directed should he put at
interest and left-tO accumulate for Il cen-
.tury. When that time had came TOnnd,
according 10 directions of the splendid
Old philanthTOpist, half of the money
TINS accumulated should 60 to some good
pHbliC purpose for the benefit of the peo-
pie Of Boston. The other half was to be
put aside, as in the first case, for another
century at the end of which time the
state and city should be equal partners in
the fund Now. arising from that 5000
there is an aggregate of something near
500, 600. half of which the trustees will
use to build and equip an industrial
trimming school, one Of the best uses to
which the money can lie put, and one
which franklin would surely approve If
he were living now. The board of alder
men and three ministers of the oldest re
religious societies in Boston are the trus-
tees. Next week they are going to Wash
| ingtOn to learn as mnch as they can about
the maHHal school there, and they will
visit nearly all the large cities of the
