THE FIFTEENTH AMENDMENT.

The Philadelphia Press thinks the
recent supreme court decision relative
to the disfranchisement of the negroes
10 Alabama very discouraglng. In
this respect the Press differs with DR..
Lyman Abbott, who 10 a recent
address delivered in Richmond, Va.
characterized the fifteenth amend
ment as a "mistake" and with Score.
tary of War Root, who spoke Of equal
suffrage, 10 a banquet speech in New
York not long ago, a a "failure."
The merits of this particuly question
are not so important as the general
reflection that constitutional limita-
tions have never availed much to
deter the American people from
doing what they want to do.
The history of the United States
under the constitution is the story of
a people continually e|ncroacbing upon
their constitutional limitations. From
the purchase Of Louisiana, which
Jefferson made with something stron-
ger than misgivings of its constitu-
tionality, on through the various
changes Of base as to the rights Of
territories and the admission of
states, down to the recent decision Of
the supreme court on the ''grand-
father clause" In the constitution of
Alabama, the people have been drift
ing and have been insisting that the
constitution be interpreted to mean
what they want it to mean. And
after all this may be as we'll. Arti-
fetal stays will not hold a republic in
Rules will not regulate a
school or a family. Methods will not
make a business. Back of rules and
methods and laws there must be an
virtue which gives to them
force and value.

DO NOT DOSE THE STOMACH.
Cure Catarrh by Natures Own Method.
Every Breath of HyOmei Brings Relief.

Nearly every one who has catarrh
knows how foolish it is to try and cure
it by dragging the stomach. Tenn
porary relief may be given, but a cure
seldome comes.
Until recently your physician would
have said the only way to cure catarrh
would be to have a change Of climate;
but now with Hyomei you can carry a
health giving climate in your vest
pocket and by breathing it a few min
utes four times a day soon cure yourself.
The complete outfit of Hyomei costs
but Sl.0O and consists of an inhaler
that can be carried in the vest pocket,
a medicine dropper and a bottle of
Hyomei. The inhaler lasts a lifetime.
and if n bottle does not cure, an
extra bottle of Hyomei can be obtained
for 90 cents. Its the most economical
OF all remedies advertised for the cure
OF catarrh, and is the only one that
follows nature in her method of treat
ing diseases of the respiratory organs.
Chas. W. Loomis has sold hundreds
OF Hyomei outfits and the more he sells
the more convinced he is that he is
perfectly safe in guaranteeing to
refund the money if Hyomei does not

HEARST'S CANDIDACY.

The country newspapers Of the land
are being deluged with literature IN
the interest OF William Randolph
HearSt's candidacy for the democratic
presidential nomination. Marked
copies Of journals OF all kinds, pub
lished In all parts Of the country, are
being sent out, it seems, to the press
everywhere. To the Missouri editor
the special plea is made that Hearst's
father and mother were native Mis-
sourians and that there is hope Of
inducing young Hearst to start a great
democratic daily in Kansas City. He
Is now the owner Of the San Francisco
Examiner, the New York Journal,
and the Chicago American.
William R. Hearst was born in San
Francisco 10 1868, was educated In
the public schools of that city ana at
Harvard University. He wa attracted
to journalism by his experience with
the Harvard Laupoon. On quitting
college his father gave him the San
Francisco Examiner. Seven years
ago he bought the New York Journal
and shortly afterwards established
the Chicago American. Last year he
was elected to congress from the
eleventh congressional district of
New York. During the latter part

aroused bitter antagonism among
many Of the people who are now
praising him. He might just as
easily have widened the breach
now existing in the party. He
might have INDUCED in criticisms
and 81 told you SOS, - but he has not.
After Roosevelt has done all the
foolish things he could do and said all
the foolish things he could say, in
relation to it, Mr.. Cleveland has made
the finest analysis and offered the
wisest solution of the race problem
yet presented. His speech at the
Exposition dedication was deeply
philosophical and altogether admira.
BILE. In fact Mr.. Cleveland seems 10
his old age to have fallen into the
philoSophic vein. He seems to have
accustomed himself to look at things
academically. He seems to view
things with 20 bitterness for the past
and no eager personal interest in the
future. Apparently he is pleased to
be insulated and to look at matters
from afar. However line democrats
may regard certain Of his executive
acts, his appointment of Gresham
and his antagonizing his party in
congress years ago, his conduct and
utterances in these latter days
be admitted to be altogether
prudent, moderate and admirable.

THE MORMON CHURCH.

The recent great convention Of the
Mormon church at Independence,
mo-, suggests the thought that very
few people, even those Of wide
general information, know ANYTHING
Of the history, doctrines, traditions,
and divisions Of this church. 1t is
the more surprising since the church
had its origin within the memory of
persons now living, has grown to
number more than a million CON-
municants, and has been closely
identified with our national, state.
and even county history.
Comparatively few people seem to
know that the Mormon church is
divided into two sections, usually
spoken OF as the Salt Lake church
and the Independence church. Both
give Il e same credit to the B ok o.
Mormon but differ as to Tue Book of
Doctrine and CovenantS-the indie.
pendence church denying certain Dur.
ported revelations in the latter book.
10 fact denying all the revelations
attributed TO Joseph Smith after 1884.
The Independence church maintains
that these added revelations are
spurious and are the fabrication Of
Brigham Young, who was a sort Of
Napoleon, designing to build up a
military monarchy 10 Utah. Includ.
ed in the spurious revelations, accord.
Ing to the independence church, are
those relating to polygamy, which is
not only not recognized in the Book
OF Mormon butts positively denounced.
The two churches agree in their
belief in the continuity Of revelation.
They agree as to the Temple Lot
revelation and look to Independence
as the final gathering place of the
church.
The fundamental belief of this
church, which is destined to shape Its
position upon every question of faith
and practice, is that no interest is
external to the church, and that
church, state, business and domestic
concerns are all a part Of one indis-
soluble whole. The church is largely
devoted to business and political
Affairs. 1t devotes itself to the con-
struction Of roads and canals, and to
the reclamation of deserts. Thus
their religion has much to do with
thrift, temperance, and industry.
With them these are cardinal religious
virtues. In this very fact is read the
doom Of ~polygamy. The Salt Lake
church is receding from polygamy as
a matter Of faith, and by and by the
economic spirit developed by the
church will lead to the rejection Of
what was once the corner stone of
the Salt Lake church.

0 0 BALL STATISTICS.

Every now and then the apologist
for foot ball OObs up with various
crude statistics to prove that fewer
people geU killed AJ the game than at
saving wood or some other useful and
worthy occupation. The latest is
Professor Edward NJ. Dexter OF the
Illinois University who, in the current
issue Of the Educational Review
presents the following statistics Of
college attendance, foot ball teams,
casualties, etc:
Male students enrolled E 2l0, 1874
Foot ball players . 90, 1855
Number injured 10 game 645
From these facts it is argued that
10 per cent Of college students pla,
foot ball and Of those who play, 80
per cent suffer injuries. The writer
asserts that, taking an average Of ten
years, three persons each year lose
their lives in the game, and one out
of every thirty-fve is so injured as to
lose time from school. He also says
that a census of faculties and students
give a majority Of II to l in favor Of
the game.
Professor Dexter then proceeds to
give the statistics Of an accident
insurance company showing the
average claims paid during the past
five years for injuries received in
various sports and exercises.

The absurdity Of any conclusions
derived from statistics of this kind is
only approached by the absurdity Of
the statistics themselves. Everybody
reads every year Of a greater number
OF fatalities than that given here
fatalities on the feld-and this
number is greatly increased by addi-
lions which may be made months
later Besides, nobody, unless it be
some victim Of parental paranoea,
ever objected to foot ball primarily on
the ground Of incident fatalities, and
these same victims object for the
same reason to horseback riding.
hunting, swimming, etc. That a few
men or boys should lose their lives in
the line Of duty or useful labor is a
trifiing matter. That a few should
be killed 10 some fine, manly exercise
that has no other object than the
exercise itself, may be contemplated
with compOsure. But foot ball is not
exercise: it is sport. 1t is not the
game of the players: it is the game of
the bleecherS. Its objective is not
prowess, but applause. You might
endow it richly, but If you would
take away the enthusiasts from the
sidelineS, the game would die. 1t is
a pitiful thing for mar or boy to lose
his life in such a cause as this.
A bill was introduced in the last
legislature prohibiting foot ball 10
the schools supported by state appro-
priations. This may have been
taking the matter too seriously. Foot
ball may be brutal and brutalizing
1t may contribute to the mob spirit
In schools. 1t may promote insOlcnce,
impatience, aud the very reverse
attitude of mind to that required for
profitable scientific inquiry, But
after all it is comparatively a small
matter-a very much smaller matter
than the serious defense OF an absurd
proposition by a college professor, like
Mr. Dexter, with strained statistics
