Color sIindnes. Amono Girls.

An intelligent physician has dis
covered that color blindness is very
rare among girls, though it is common
among boys. From this fact he draws
the conclusion that in most cases
color blindness is due to want of
early education in discriminating col
ors Girls are taught to become IA
mil,ar with every shade of colors,
while boys receive no instruction
whatever on the subject. Hence, boys
frequently exhibit an ignorance with
true color blindness, but which girls
rarely show.

Hindoo Likes MANY cIocks

The HindOO places a clock in his
room, not because he ever desires to
know what the hour is, but because a
clock is a foreign curiosity. Instead,
therefore of contenting himself with
one good clock, he will have, perhaps,
a dozen in one room. These clocks
are signs of his wealth, but they do
not add to his comfort, for he is SO
Indifferent to time that he measures it
by the number of bamboo lengths the
sun has travelled about the horizon.

Kidney complaint kills more people
than any other disease. This is due
to the disease being so insidious that
it gets a good hold on the system be-
fore it is recognized. Foley's Kidney

HEARD ON CHANGE

The local market for securities has been
during the past week absolutely devoid of
anything tending toward a change In the
situation. The daily meetings of the ex-
change have not resulted either In increas-
ing the volume of business or of altering the
range OF prices. To speak technically there
Is no market at present and there has not
been for some time past. Exactly why this
should be the condition is explained in sew
eral ways, all of which are interesting as
Information, but not Of much practical i'm
pOrtance.
1t may be said in a general way that ac
cording to the consensus of the best opinion
the market Is going to improve, when it does
improve. In the meantime those who are in
the market are holding on In q hopeful
fashion and are encouraged by the thought
that at any rate If securities are not ad-
vancing at least they are not declining.
During the past week three additions were
made to the list Of securities, SO that in
that respect the scope of the business Of the
exchange was enlarged. The stock of one
OF the recently organized savings banks
the Merchants and Mechanics'Swas ad-
mitted and also the stocks and bonds of the
electric railway that runs between this city
and Mount Vernon, with the principal point
outside OF this city, of course, at Alexan-
dria.
About million and a half of both KINDS
Of securities represents the output on the
part or the railway company and for this
they have roadway that has been double
tracked. A good deal has been done since
the road passed out OF the control of the
Pennsylvania Railroad Company into the
hands Of the present owners, who are main
ly Philadelphia capitalists with representa-
tives on the board Of directors from Alex
andria.
It remains to be seen whether or not the
adding of securities to the list Is going to
increase the volume of business II has
not had that effect in the past and 1t does
not seem likely that 1t will have, especially
II large proportion Of the brokers do not
md 1t worth their while to become &C.
quainted with the value of the securities
and their prospect for the future.

THE LONDON MARKET
INFLUENCE OF WALL STREET
REFLECTS IRREoULARITY.

LONDON, February 9.-The stock ex-
change experienced an irregular weeks
trading, with the tone largely governed by
Wall street. where the monetary as well
as the speculative position was being close
y watched. Stocks, as the result of the
recent liquidation, passed into stronger
hands and the intrinsic position appears to
be sounder, but the absence of public sup
port. together with the revival of the gold
demand from Brazil and the possibility Of
requirements for New York, caused con-
servafive operators to hold OF for the time
being. The values Of British securities
huctuated narrowly. Toward the week end
q steadier tone was apparent, owing to the
splendid board Of trade returns and specu-
lative buying on the recent decline.
The feature of the foreign section was
the weakness Of Brazilian bonds, which
were sold by continental holders, who looked
with disfavor on the scheme for raising fur
ther loans In order to support the coffee
market. while other issues were depressed
at the week end on Paris sales, induced by
tax bin. 'N ~ nav INCOME

NEW YORK, February 9-The stock
market showed heavy tone from the out
set today and weakened decidedly after the
appearance Of the bank statement. This
early check to the recovery which set In
after the middle Of the week was accepted
as q bad augury for the renewal Of the

over-extended shorts had been principally
responsible for the rally. The decrease of
over $12, 100000 in the cash holdings of
the banks is difficult to trace to any known
destination. The known movements Of cur
rency since the last bank statement ac-
counted for about 5000 900.
1t Is probable that the subtreasury's with
drawal Of government deposits late last

OF COURSE WE ARE.

Apostle Smoot takes interest enough
position is against the Government. OF
course. in this, he means the govern
ment Of the church as laid down in the
works of Apostle Orson Pratt wherein
it was claimed that the theocratic gov
ernmcnt established in these later days
by direct commandment of God through
His prophet, Joseph Smith Jr., was
the only legal, legitimate government
existing upon the earth. We consider
it an honor to be against that govern
ment. We consider that there is no
right in having any such government
as that in this country-an imperium
in impcrio The very gist Of the whole
contention here is opposition to that
church government We not only deny
its authority, it's pretcnsions, its right
TO govern at ALL but its right to exist
as a temporal government.
Apostle Smoot is one of the govern
ing hierarchs of this temporal kingdom
which is set up in the midst of the
United States in defiance of its au-
thority and in usurpation of IFS civil
powers. 1t has no right Of government
under the law, but imposes itself upon
the members of its organization by
reason Of the pains, penalties, and
horrors that it can impose If mem

of this government i'll temporal affairs,

is fanatical higotry in its conception, a
reasonable usurpanon III its organiza-
ton; an outrageous fraud IN its work
iugs; il is merciIess, cruel, brutal in its
exacDons, its punishments, its extor-
tions. To say that The Tribune is
against this theocratic government is

In church matters. even against the ad-
vice of all the apostles?
Joseph F. Smith-That is the law of the
church.
Senator Dubois-Suppose any apostle

Joseph F.. Smith-Nothing: only that he

Joseph +. Snth-Hc might have the
privilege OF stating his reasons afterwards
in council. BUT NOT IN ANY PUBLIC
ASSEMBLY.
SO that it is impossible TO secure
the public leadership OF any man of
great influence in the Mormon church
in any movement in opposition to the
prophet. There is much other matter
which could be quoted-and which will
be produced if necessity require-going
to show the utter nonsense of the claim
that the Mormon church is ruled by
common consent - The people of
that organization are completely under
the power OF one man. They are total
ly unable to speak for themselves, in
any effective way, against the dictum
of the prophet, however tyrannical that
may be. 1t Is impossible for objectors
to get majority Of the membership
on their side-and the result of their
protest is communication, forever
putting them out Of the prophet 3 way.
However. If all other argument fails,
there is the final and insurmountable
one that there can be no government
by people presided over by the AL
mighty, That is, in effect, the condi-
tion Of the church. For Joseph +.
Smith is recognized as the mouth piece
of the Lord; and in the conduct of the
government of the Mormon church the
aphorism, "Nox popui voX Del, is
entirely reversed; for with the Mormon
prophet it is ''Vox Del vox popuH'
II The Tribune has erred in this
presentation, we belisve that it has
been rather in unhappy selection of
terms descriptive of the condition, than
in stating the condition itself. How.
ever, there is ample interest in a study
Of the subject. And the more the
probe is applied the greater appears to
be the falsity Of the claim that the
Mormon church is governed by "com-
mon consent.
