third wives of Mr.. Roberts would have
been dishonored had he ceased to call
them such. Every person knowing
that they had entered into the marriage
contract with honorable purpose and
believing it to be right and proper,
would have thought more of Roberts
and of his family had the relationship
ceased when it became illegal.
AS we understand it, no one is COM
planning of Mr.. Roberts because he
made polygamous marriages when it
was sanctioned by the laws under
which he was living, but because he
persisted in his course after it " as ex-
pressly forbidden by law.
AS for the law being retroactive, it
is not. The laws of the United States
recognize but one wife and have never
recognized more The plural marriages
were not marriages and therefore the
law is not retroactive.

Cook would sanction the performance
of this religious rite were a colony of
East Indians to migrate to the United
States.
The fact is the problem is very much
greater than Mr.. Roberts individual
fortunes. The question is as to tn
recognition of polygamy by congress,
and we are glad to note that both re-
publicans and democrats united in
ousting Mr.. Roberts. For those who
have any further sympathy to waste on
Mr.. Roberts we might add that he
was found guilty of felony In 1888,
and the fact that he was never pardon.

CAR BLOCKADE LIFTED.
Agreeable News to Thousands of Grain
Shippers in the West.

Shippers III the west.
CHICAGO, Dec. 22.-Notices have been
issued by number of roads running
west from Chicago to the effect that the
grain car blockade among the lines west
bound from this city during the past
two or three months has been lifted and
that the western agents may make con-
tracts for shipments east of this CITY,
The dissipating of the jam in Chicago
was agreeable news to thousands of
shippers, particularly grain dealers,
whose business has been embarrassed by
the inability of the railroads to furnish
cars or to haul them after they were
loaded.
Old railroad men say that the block

Though the blockade is lifted the de-

Argentine Live stock.

A very elaborate series of statistics
with regard to the number of live stock
in the Argentine Republic has just been
issued, says the London Live Stock
Journal, which it may be of interest to
recapitulate AS regards cattle. the
latest returns gave the total at 81
702, 04S, as against 81. 961, 657 in 1888
(the date Of the last census), so that
there would appear to have been a de-
crease in numbers, though against this
has to be set the fact that the average
weight of the cattle is nearly double
what it was ten years ago. Horses are
estimated at 4,446, $50. as against
a, 234 032 in 1883, and of these 4, O16,-
297 were draft horses. 414, $50 of native
breeds and Is, SIT thoroughbreds. With
its 10000 horses the Argentine Re-
public comes next to Russia and the
United States, and has III horses to
every 100 inhabitants The total for
sheep is "a, $40. 562. as against &C, 7O6,-
O97 in 1888, and the Argentine is only
exceeded by Australia with it's 80. OOO.-

A" Scientific Murder, i"

in the interest of Sanitary and
scientific advancement" occurred in
Faribault Minn., the End of October.
The board of health of the state re-
quires that to "prevent the spread of
disease" well and healthy children
Shall be vaccinated before entering the
public schools. In pursuance of this
order the children of the state have
been inoculated with vaccine poison,
more dangerous than small pox,-
against which the bestmedical author
tiles says it affords no protection.
The Minneapolis Journal of the 3rd
gives the following accountof the case:
DIED FROM VACCINATION.
Fairbault, Mimi, Oct. maud Hos
field, aged Is, the daughter of the late
G. ID. Hosfield, died last night from
tetanuS, resulting from vaccination.
She was one Of the first vaccinated
here when the schools opened. She
was taken seriously i'll last Wednesday
with lockjaw, and grew rapidly worse
until her death last night.
Boards of health in Iowa have no
authority to expel children from the
public school because their parents re-
fuse to have them poisoned with the
vaccine virus taken from the putrid
fostering sore, produced upon some
COW or heifer by incubation of the an
imal with small pox. The ''fakirs"
who advocate vaccination are unable
to explain in what way it protects the
person, while the best medical au-
thorities trace over go forms of disease
as dangerous as small pox to vaccina-
tion.

Francis Murphy meeting in Des
Moines, delivered a very strong speech
which did our space permit we should
be glad to give in full, but must con-
tent ourself with few pertinent and
pointed extracts. He alludes to the
fact that as a member of the State
Board of Control he finds in our
asylums persons from some of the
leading families of the state, brought
there either from the loss of property
or from the use and effects of intoNi-
cants, and says that no one will have
to search far among relatives to find
some one who has been injured from
its use, from which he concludes that
Uycry Pereer.- 10 -aithar- no arsnnallY or as
a taxpayer interested in the subject
and cause of temperance. He says, in
alluding to the responsibility of parties
touching the question:
81 regret to say it, but each time it
has been my own party that has
wrought the downfall of prohibition.
The democratic party has a better
record on the liquor question in Iowa
than we have, although there is pop
ular impression to the contrary"
This duplicity, this double dealing
of the republican party, its carrying
water upon one shoulder and the
mulct law with it's whisky bottle upon
the other, causes men who
honestly favor the cause of temperance
to break away from the republican
party and to name and support candi-
dates known to be true to the principles
which they profess. In speaking of
other Influences he says:
"Modern civilization is doing away
with intemperance. The great corpor-
lations have discovered that they can
place no reliance on an employee who
| is patron of the saloon, and refuse
to hire him. The railroads demand
that their men always have their
heads. 1t is the same in other lines OF
business. Farmers will employ the
hand who does not drink in preference
| to the one who does. The merchants
demands absolute sobriety in his EN-
ployees. The banker is most strict in
reinforcing this requirement. And 1T Is
necessary that men be careful whom
! they employ for the people will moi
patronize the bank whose officers o.
Iellers are drinkers. You will MOI
send your little child to the store
whose proprietor is drinking man |.
lit is Just as convenient to send to tht
one wieo you know it will always tint
lsober. If you need mechanic yo'
are no less particular. If you need
lawyer, o., physician you will neye
Epatronize one who gets drunk and ca
do you an irreparable injury" !"
