IrrllsnnppA1LY BY THE
MORMON VIEW OF COMPATIBILITY.

The correspondents would have us
believe that The venerable senators
were shocked and Mortified at the
revelations made in the Smoot trial
when President Joseph Smith of the
Mormon church testified that he him
self was still living with all of his
five wives and having children by each
since the passage of the Edmunds act.
Whatever may have been the shock to
the chaste senses of the average Uni
ted States senator, and men acquainted
with Washington life will differ In
their opinions as to the terrors inspired,
the revelations do not come as SO ire
mendous a shock to the average we'll
informed man. Polygamy was hid
eous institution at all times. To the
normal mind OF present day civilization
il is inconceivable that such a system
could have been permitted among
men. The only explanation that has
ever seemed plausible was the neces-
sity of the system to people Wilder
ness and conquer a desert inhabited
by savage foes. 1t is true. however,
that the craze of religion has accus-
toned many refined Mormon people to
the system of polygamy and when the
federal statute put an end to it there
were left many a polygamous home
that was home in every other sense
now recognized among respectable
Christian people. 1t is these homes
and the family relations existing before
the Edmunds act that President Smith
says have been continued and the same
information was disclosed in the Rob-
erts trial.
1t is the testimony of all Morrnons
and most critics that polygamous mar
riages have not been sanctioned by
the Mormon church and therefore not
legalized among Mormons since the
Edmunds act. President Smiths de-
Tense that all plural marriages should
have been dissolved by legal divorce
and the homes broken UP or else it
became the right and the duty Of the
parties to these plural marriages to
continue living together. will receive
various kinds of criticism. The rec
crds OF divorce courts and the argu-
ments of eminent lawyers can be in
voked to support President Smiths
view of marital compatibility, yet there
is no question that the intent of the
Edmunds law was to put a stop to
Morlnons living with more than one
wife as well as to prohibit plural mar
riages in the future. IL the law is weak
1T should be changed or its violators
The practices of which
President Smith admits, may be open
to legal and public condemnation but
they are not revelations of unknown
facts and should not shock an average
any more than the In
stitution of polygamy by itself is suf-
startling. Smoot is said to be
free from the guilt OF polygamy yet IL

a seat in its official body.

IN another column the Express
quotes from the February number of
the American Monthly Review Of Re
views, a non-partisan. eminently fal"

discusses national matters from the

inaugural address of Governor Cum

executive is man of broad views and
advocates policy which would amount
Ia a checkmating of Mr.. Chamberlain

into effect will rob the United States Of

It is further stated without equivo-

The Normal Ended.

The Normal for the training
and teaching Of the colored teach
ers of the State, which has been
in session here for the past four
weeks closed last Friday, and the
teachers, Profs. J. M. Kelly, of
Maben; S. w. Smith, of Mayhew;
@. F. Grantham, of Leddrew, and
w. n. Dalton, of Matheston, re
turned to their homes.
Wednesday was the big day
and the exercises, which en-
braced addresses by many prom
inent negroes. were attended by
a large crowd. Thursday was
devoted to the examinations and
thirty odd teachers stood the ex-
aminations as applicants for State
licenses. Perhaps a hundred
teachers attended the Normal,
which was pronounced one of the
most successful yet held in the
State.

Moving The Plant.

The work of moving the plant
of the Standard Stove Works
from Fort Payne, Ala, to this
city has begun. Supt Frank
Rogers had a large force Of men
at work the past week loading
the patterns. machinery etc, on
board cars at the site of the
present plant and he shipped
eight cars as early as last
Wednesday. Several more since
that time have been loaded and
all are enroute TO this city now.
President Saunders, Mr.. Fol
som and Mr. Rogers are all eX-
pected TO arrive in Columbus to-
morrow. They come to make
this city their home and to super
intend the work of unloading and
installing the machinery of their
factory. Along with them will
come a number of men, the ad
vance guard of those who will be
here when the plant starts up.
Itis believed that two or three
weeks will be consumed in
getting the new plant in opera
tion. The engines and boilers,
which are entirely new, have to
be set up and other machinery,
such as the cupola. has to be in
stalled. The work of putting
up the shafting and other Incl
dentals connected with an enter
prise as big as this one always
takes more time than is expected
1t is hoped, however. to get
everything in readiness at the
new plant and to have it in opera
tion by the 18th. or Goth. of the
present month.

methods of accomplishing this.
He endorsed what Mr.. Ames
had said about the preparation
of the soil; and emphasized the
Importance of preserving and
adding to the fertility of the
soil. To this end he urged ro-
tation of crops and the plant
ing of leguminous plants. he
gave the results Of some eX-
periments showing how much
cheaper it is to supply land
with nitrogen by raising COW
peas than by the purchase
of commercial fertilizer. Mr..
Perkins was not only an in
structive but very ntertaining
speaker. He told US something
of the methods pursued by the
farmers of Wisconsin, and of the
wonderful improvement the land
had made in that State. He dis
cussed the subject of pork rails
ing and answered various ques-
tions put to him by different far
mers. I am sure we were all
sorry when Mr.. Perkins had
to close his lecture in order to
take the four o'clock train and
to meet other appointments.
At the close of the lecture a
Farmers Club was organized by
the election of Mr.. E. NJ. Franks
as president and Mr.. J. w.
Cooper as secretary. The club
agreed to meet at Mt. Vernon
on the first Saturday in Septem-
Der at ? p. N.
After vote of thanks to
Messrs. Ames and Perkins the
Institute adjourned.
During the afternoon a game
of base ball between a team from
Columbus and the Mt Vernon
boys took place. This was a
most interesting game and quite
closely contested, the Mt. Yer
non team leading off; the Colum-
bus team began gradually to
gain, and at the close Of the
seventh inning were several
scores in the lead. Then Mt.
Vernon rallied again and won the
match with a score of IS to Is
with an unplayed inning t.
their credit. Thus ended a very
enjoyable day.

Cotton.

Interest in the price of cotton
and all that concerns the South 5
chief staple is fast increasing
with the approach of the crop
season. The cotton exchange is
beginning to fill up and the old
familiar faces are again in eYi-
dence at the board Local cot
ton firms are organizing their
forces and preparing for the ap-
preaching season which promises
to be the best the business has
had in a long time.
Cotton was quoted yesterday at
ten cents. The price has gradual
ly increased in value as the
extent of the damage to the crop
has become known. Com plants
from the sandy land section are
that the crops have been badly
damaged and the yield will be cut
down enormously. Prairie farm
ers are all com planning at tile
falling off in the prospect.
