Correspondence of the Boston Transcript
 Numerous polygamous marriages have been contracted in states other than Utah. A distinguished saint sailed out in a boat three miles into the Pacific ocean, and there, beyond United States territory, was married to plural wife. These, however
 are not the chief offences. The promise of the Mormon church was not merely to check polygamy. but to abolish 1t. Plural wives were to be discarded, and they have not been discarded. conservative esti- mate places the number of polygamous families in Utah at this present time at two thousand. At least one thousand poly gamous children have been born in Utah since statehood-that is, since 1S96 The leaders of the church uphold polygamy; so does the rank and file The only conces- sion that they have made is that of calling polygamy impracticable under existing cir cumstances. One evening said to two of

the twelve apostles. "Gentlemeh. what would you do if this governmental festric- tion were wfthdrawn?" And together they smiled large sweet. oily, Chadbapd smile, and said, Why, bless you. sir, we wpuld go right straight back to pelygamy.r And these are the things that cudgel the soul of Judge Goodwin until he is absolutely pitiless to the breakers of the law. And yet Judge Goodwin, though hated with the bibterest malice by the entire Mormon church, lives in peace and comfort i'm Salt Lake City Of course, his paper has no Mormon subscribers, just as MT. Seroeder has no Norman clients. Accordingly it will be seen that I had nothing to fear in Utah. The Mormons seemed to suspect my motive when l came to them for information. but they seemed convinced that their case was already so bad in the east that nothing that I could write or say would make it any worse. They felt on the other hand that there was some chance of persuading me of the justice of their cause. For more than a fortnight I listened to nothing but Mormon testimony But when I had gone far enough in my investigation of the Gentle side of the story and began to form my conclusions, I was anything but guarded in my statements to Gentles, Mormons, Apos- ties or Jack-Mormons, and I found nothing to be afraid of.

He Did Not Have a Birds Eye .

The solemn air of judicial gravity and dignity of the supreme court is sometimes disturbed by a flash of humor, says the Indianapolis Press. On one occasion there was an argument going on, and the att torneys were using a map to illustrate the case. One attorney pointed to the map, and was proceeding to dilate upon it. when Justice Gray asked him what the map was. Why, your honor, 1t is just a bird's-eye view of the land in controversy answered the counselor Well" said Justice Gray, 'I wish you would bring the map a little nearer; I haven't got a birds eye."

Great Britaln's AIuer and Corbin.

Parliament will be convened, and the de- bates upon the conduct of the war, includ- dng numberess inquiries, will be begun on January 30. The troubles of the ministry will become acute at that time, and very lively time is expected.
 The situation is not greatly unlike that of this country, when Alger and Corbin were in full bloom, and General Miles was a commanding general who was not per- mitted to command. The British public are blaming both Lord Wolseley, who is commander-in-chief of the army, and the Marquis of Lansdowne, who is secretary of, state for war. Neither is great war rior. Wolseley has been a ministerial pet a long time, but out of His many com mands he brought home no laurels. He tried to reconquer the Soudan, and failed at it, just escaping destruction altogether. 2 As for the Marquis of Lansdowne. no one greatly respects him. He is a titled mo- body. who naturally foated to place much beyond his powers, in a tory minis try. Tue permanent under secretary of the war office conducts the business of the department. He is the Corbin of the present war, and his name is Kpox-Sir Ralph Henry Knox, K. c. B. But titles at botl ends will not save him public con- demna'aion nor will they save the fgure- head of the department from public wrath, although no-one attaches much responsi- bll.ty to him.
 The Salisbury ministry has determined, it is stated to keep out of the scapegoat business. It wants no Alger, no Corbin It is not quilt on Mckinley principles, or want of principles. If the house of com mons condemns Lord Lansdowne or any

BLACK LABORIN THE SOUTH

Augusta, Ga, Letter in New York Times.
 Augustus mills, like nearly al the mills in the south, are closed against the black man. Not because tne blacks are all in capable of learning how to do mill work, but because having learned to be useful in the factories. they will not acquire the habit of regularity in labor. Negroes were tried in the cotton mills here. Many of them acquired skill enough to qualify them for employment. When they chose, they would stop, on any pretext, regardless of the fact that work was suspended wher- ever an employe quit.N This indifference to business methods seemed to be generally inherent, ineradical0le It Is found among the negroes in the furnace towns of Ken lucky, Georgia and Alabama, and to over come the inertia that would be suffered at a blast furnace ii a third of the hands quit for day, 10 go on a journey, to go a-fishng, or to a funeral the furnaces carry three times as many. men on the payrolls as will be needed at any one time. Only one-third are at work at one time. The proportion of the active and indus tiious is about as to the negro's inclination fer continuous labor The average negro wants to rest about two-thirds of the time.

THE ONLY DAILY HGwspApEs IN ALABAMA
Build the Nicaragua Canal.

Congress is quickly responsive to public sentiment. and now that MT. Reed who represented in the chair the railroad com bine is out of the way, it is hoped and be- nieved that a construction bill will be passed, and that the work will soon be actually begun. The railroads fought for a years delay in the last congress, but the people are becoming very tired of obstruc- tions in this matter, Both parties and all parties favor the building of the canal by the government and all are agreed that the work should be begun at once.
 Numberless democratic conventions in the south have asked for the early con- struction of the canal, and the republicans are committed to the policy of its construc- Hion in many ways. All are in favor of the Morgan bill except the railroad obstruc- tionists, and the time has come when they should be swept out of the way. They should be made to know and feel public sentiment CoHis P. Huntington is at the head of the obstructionists. and he needs a lesson or two as to the weight and value Of public sentiment. It has been reported that MT. Huntngton's oppositiQn had been withdrawn, and that he would no longer support a lobby against the bill, but such reports need verifcation. It is not proba- ble that railroad owner and manager has suddenly become canal advocte. The two means of transportation are necessarily hostile.
 But the constructionists, be they whom they may, must be brought face. to face with public sentiment, and the bill pushed through. Every state is interested in the building of an interoceanic canal, and the Nicaragua canal is of the deepest possi- ble value and importance to Alabama. Its cha mpion is our senior senator, and when he is fighting for the canal he is fighting for the best possible market for Alabama products.

RICH GOLD MIN E
Excitement is at Fever Heat Over the
 Discovery

Wesley, Ga., January 9.-(Special.)- .)-Ex- citement is at fever heat here over the discovery of rich gold mine. Nuggets of from one pennyweight to one ounce have been taken out of the placer. The pam nings run from 25 cents to $2O per pan.
 One miner put up a rough sluice box and in three days took out 107 pennyweight or 5 ounces and pennyweight, amounting to about s106. He is now trying to locate the vein which is evidently near.
 The mine is located four miles south of Buchanon, Harolson county, on the Seburn Edwards farm. It is four miles northeast of Tallapoosa, Ga

Limitations Upon Inheritances.

In New York state they have an eminent ly dignifed and conservative body, meeting annually, known as the State Bar associa- ton. As its name implies it is composed exclusively of lawyers, nearly all of whom are eminent in their respective towns. Tt recently met. and President Logan, in an address, advocated sl0OOO,OOO statutory limitation on inheritanoes and gave as his reason for advocating 1t the following:
 ''F'irst-Tkere is at the present day no good purpose to be served by. giving man power to transmit more than $1O.0OO 900.
 "second-The great power which great wealth gives can not be intrusted as safe ly to those who inherit the wealth as to those who acquire it by their own ex- ertons..
 .Third-No vested right would be in- fringed and no injustice done to anybody by the proposed legislation"
 This is quite radical enough to suit even the most advanced reformers of the day; but still it is not quite up to some of Gov ernor Roosevelts recent utterances. New | Yorkjs governor recently declared that on | man could earn million dollars by his own l exertions: that anyone who gathers in that 1 much or more takes from the gene al 1 wealth more than his due, and that a man who had by hook or crook secured more | than his just due should devote his time and energies to the oour.ry perhaps tie l best requital wlthn his power.
 Putting the two propositions together, l each coming from sources that cannot | reasonably be charged with anarchy, it will be seen that millionaireism is beginning to attract the attention of the thoughtful and the wel-disposed. The ret product of the tariff and subsidy plan of the republican party, under which money is foreibly taken by law from the many to enrich the few, Is milHonaires and tramps, the one being the corallary of the other. It is scarcely possl- ble to stop the production of either until the subsidy plan of the republican party Is repealed. Agitation .n various forms may lead up to that and Governor Roosevelt may have been groping in the dark towards such a happy result

SHORT STORIES
 OF THE DAY
A Reflection on His Ability


 Rev. Thaddeus A. snively, rector of St. Chrysostom's Episcopal church, is dlgnified as a minister. but as a man he is recog- nized as good fellow, and this trait has brought many young Northsders into his church on Dearborn avenue Perhaps 1t was his good fellowship which made the following story which he tells himself. possibly, relates the Chicago Times-Her- aid.
 Some time ago MT. Snively took a trip on one of the big steamers through the lakes Naturally interested in everything that was taking place on board the vessel, he sought the acquaintance of the crew. His ad- vances, however did not meet with a cor dial response, and one day he spoke to the captain about it.
 "Is it true" he asked, ..thalt a clergyman is unpopular on board ship because he is supposed to bring storms?'
 "Yes," replied the master of the steamer, ia sky pilot always brings bad luck" That's strange" continued MT. Snively 'I've travelled a good deal on the water and nave never been through a severe storm, though I have often wanted to see one. How do you account for that?'
 The captain looked the clergyman in the face for moment, slapped his thighs heartily, and then laughed.
 By Jove,' he cried out that explains 1t. l never thought you were much of a minister anyhow, and now I'm sure you are not"

PAUL JONES' REMAINS
Will be Removed to United States and
 Buried at Arlington

Washington. January 19.-The proposition to remove the bones of Commodore John Paul Jones from Paris and bury them in Arlington cemetery will probably receive the sanction of congress if all doubt can be removed as to the complete identifca- tion of the grave of the naval hero, which has been so long neglected that 1t had been really forgotten.
 Today the secretary of the navy will send congress the latest information in the pos session of the navy department. The naval attache at Paris is still prosecuting his in- vestigations and expresses confidence that he will be completely successful in the end.

The Sheen and the Gnats.

It is an undeniable fact that the anti Morgan campaign in this state is based on Ignorance. The appeals for votes made by our great senator's opponent are trans parently demagogical-more so than any that ever emanated from the mouth of governor of sovereign state. He found that he could in writing put out demagog- ical statements, and have them to some ex- tent accepted, and he has gone on the stump plainly determined to work that vein to the end of the campaign.
 It is at least compliment to Senator Morgan that he is remitted by the very plan of his opponents campaign to the intelligent vote of the state. He indulges in no demagogcal appeals-he never did in the whole course of his career. No one who knows him accuses him of demagogy. No one ever did. He is the very opposite of demagogue. He is not even a politician. He lacks tact to the point of bluntness. He speaks his convictions and always did.
 The line between intelligence and unintel- ngence, between frank expressions of con- victions and transparent demagogy, was never more plainly drawn than it is in the The Age-Herald declines to believe that ignorance will win in this state. The vote in the primaries is confined to the whites, and in such vote the man to whom all the
