DECLINE OF POLYGAMY IN UTAH.
Social AmalgamatiOn of Gentiles and

Social AmalgamatiOn of Gentiles and
MOrmOns-New Conditions of Things.
Glen Miller in Forum.
With the division of the Mormons on ma
tional party lines, the remuneration of their
obnoxious creed and the Inauguration Of
the era Of good feeling in Utah, there has
been complete cessation of prosecutions
for polygamy; and numbers of old-tme
offenders have resumed relation with their
plural wives, with practical immunity
from punishment. But the prop of polyg-
amy, its social responsibility and exalta-
ton as religious virtue has been taken
away. These old poly gamists visit their
younger wives precisely as married man
in an eastern community might consort
with miStreSS-Quietly and Stealthily not
openly or boastfully as formerly. Their
conduct is under the ban of the church,
and since.it is no longer justified by a reli-
gious principle, is regarded simply as an
affair of lust or of affection for former
associations too strong to withstand. We
find a close analogy to this condition of
things In the prohibition states, where, in
spite of stringent laws, the old topper I'M
vorite beverage. Human nature does not
differ greatly in New York, Massachusetts,
Kansas or Utah. But, with the passing
away of the present generation, the last
vestige of polygamy Will disappear. No
edct of the church could restore ii. An
nsurmountable barrier in the way of its
resumption is arising in the social amalga-
nation of Gentiles and MormonS. Inter
marriages between the two classes have
rapidly increased under the new condi-
lions. Within a decade the distinguished
characteristics Of Mormonism will be no
stronger in Utah than the distinguishing
characteristics of Catholicism, Presbyter-
ianiSm or MethodiSm.

a nation of inventors, and during the past
summer l spent some weeks in looking up
their new industries, especially those which
are sprinSing up with a view to Ameri-
can markets. One of these was the bust
ness growing up in Japanese rugs and
mating. 1t is really wonderful what they
have done within d few years in these
branches of trade. The Japanese had no
rugs before they began to take up the new
civilization. They are now making the
most beautiful rugs in the world, and also
the cheapest. There is american firm
in Kobe which is shipping vast guam
titles of rugs to the United States,
and which is introducing the manufac-
ture into Japan in a curious way. Per-
haps the most expensive book ever made
was produced by this firm. They had
artists to go to all the great museums
of Europe and copy the colors and pat
terms of the finest rugs in the world They
bound these patterns into book, which
they sent out in JAPAN and put into the
hands of the workmen, and now these IA
nous rugs, are being copied in jute. The
jute was brought from India, and the new
rugs are equal in colors to the originals.
They sell for a song in comparison with
the Turkish rugs. and there is possibility
that the Japanese will take up the max
ing of wooden rugs. If they do so, they
