in the staff Of the army for long
time
The eagerness with which appoint
ments TO the adiutant generals corps
are sought is realized when 10 is stated
that over 200 applications had been 0led
for Vokmar's vacancy before IL be-
came generally known In the army that
any retirement was about due. These
applications came not only from cap
tains Of the line, but from majors who
could expect no immediate advance
ment IN rank under the existing organ
ilation. II Is the general conviction In
the service however. that the adjutant
generals department Is soon to be ex-
panded, when the promotion Of officers
who ar already In the corps will be
rapid and their influence increased.
Most officers, In fact are beginning to
look on entrance TO this corps as their
personal salvation.
Major Nolkmar Is now attached to
the headquarters Of the department
Of the lakes at Chicago He entered
the service as sergeant OF the Thir-
ty-third Pennsylvania infantry on June
10. 1868. was a cadet at West Point In
1864. graduated In 1865 He served In
the Fifth cavalry until appointed major
and assistant adjutant general In 1855.

British commanders may have OBJ
tanned from the scouts OF the DISPOSE

It is certain that, owing TO the heavy
work OF dcbarkation and entrainlng In

as advanced as has been supposed. This
may also be due 90 the necessity Of

on the other hand, the celerhy with

Importance bearing upon the question
OF his expulsion from the House Of
Representatives,
Mr.. Roberts, In the beginning Of the
discussion Of his polygamous practices,
not only admitted that he was polyg
amlst, but boosted Of that fact, and
seemed 10 think that his taking this
position openly and afterward retain
inS his seat would be interpreted as an
acknowledgment by the people Of the
country Of giving polygamy some de-
gree Of recognition.
Accepting this as true, the country
has concluded 10 take issue with Mr.
Roberts upon his position.
Therefore the retaining Of Mr.. Rob-
erts In his seat In Congress involves
an issue upon the subject Of pOlygamy.
! shall vote 10 unseat Roberts and use
every effort In that direction.
THE purity Of the home is the foun-
dalton Of the state and therefore no
question which is likely to come before
