that year, 163 new anti.tuberculosis as

sanatorla and hospitals were established,
and 81 tuberculosis dispensarics were
opened. This exceeds the record Of the

SOME ADDED TEXTS.

The following brief note of inquiry
has been received from a reader of
The Tribune in this city. 1t is under
date Of the third OF the present month:
Why. in quoting from the Book OF Nor
mon I'm your editorial OF this morning.
did you omit section 27. page l32, OF that
book. and section 5, page 13i?
These were omissions that were in
advertently made by The Tribune. In
the article To which our queStioner re-
fers we had presented some matter from
church works in reply to letter sent
in by another correspondent, who want
ed to know if he was correct in think
ing that Joseph Smith, the founder Of
Mormonism, had received any revela-
tions denouucing the practice Of polyg-
amy. We replied that he was right IN
so thinking and gave some of the quo
tations necessary to prove the point,
The above references supply further
evidence. however, and we gladly re-
print the text. IT must he rcmem-

erly regarded in that class of Mormon
literature. Verse 81, page 1872. reads:
Wherefore my brethren, hear me. and
hearlken TO the word OF the Lord. for
there shall not any man among You have
save II be one wife; and ConCubncs nc
shall have none.
The other reference given is Of verse
3, page l34, and is entirely relevant to
the question and valuable in its deter
mination. It is as follows
Behold the Lamantes. your brethren,
whom ye hate, because Of their hllhiness
and the cursings which hath come upon
their skins. arc more righteous than you;
for they have not forgotten the COM
mandmcnt OF the Lord, which was given
unto your fathers. that they should have.
they should have none; and there should
not be whorcdoms committed among
them.
Both the Book Of Mormon and the
original Doctrine and Covenants con
tain inhibitions and denunciations Of
the practice of polygamy; and in the
last matter quoted from the Book of
Mormon it is candidly intimated that
a polygamist is not as good a man as
is an Indian.

PARIS FLOODS AND RELIEF.

| 1t appears from the cable service that
the floods that were about to ruin Paris
have subsIded The river Seine has
retreated to its usual channel, and while
the water is high it is no longer dan
ccrous. 1t is stated also that relief is
pouring in for the suffering city at a
magnificent and unprecedented rate,
and everything that humanity, civiliza~
ton, and science can suggest will be
done by way of relief.
II appears that Paris is much subject
TO iuundation. Gauges of tho food of
the Seine at Paris were begun in 1872,
since which time there have been forty
six floods, counting the recent one. OF
these floods, thirty-one were "ordin.
ary,n twelve extraordinary and
three exceptional In the 100 years
preceding 1882, there were five devas-
tating inundations of this city, that of
1868 being the worst on record until
the present one, Since 1854 there has
been regular system along the Seine
of forecasting floods, so that the au-
thorities of Paris knew some days be-
fore the floods came down, what they
had to expect. The upper Seine is di-
vidcd into four natural sections, some
of the streams in which are classified
as Of a torrentIal character, and the
occurrence of floods at Paris is due, as
rule. to the concentration of rainfall
in the mountains where these streams
rise.
We note these data in special ar
ticle on the floods of Paris in the New
York Evening Post, which notes that
from the earliest time foods have been
frequent and occasionally Of devas-
tating character
1t is as comforting as any reflection
can be, following such great disaster
as has recently overtaken the city of
Paris, to know that every appliance of
science. of mechanics, of hydraulics, is
easily available for the relief of Paris.
Money and labor will be unstinted in
clearing away the ravages and repair

Contributions from all the world arc
pouring in at tremendous rate, and

thing that can possibly be done for re.

WHERE WONDER COMES IN.

Taking the following complete para,
graph from an editorial which appeared
in the Deseret News of Monday night
we find fair opportunity for com,
parison that is as fitting as il may be
invidious:
With the statutes staring them so
plainly In the face, and with the state
ment OF the Governor OF the State back
ing them up IL is a marvel that any
people of reputc should persevero in the
attempt, not only 10 defy both. but the
moral sentiment OF so great part OF
the community,
1t is indeed a "marvel,' applying
this expression of the News to a situa.
tion which it persistently ignores for
reasons of its own, and in behalf Of it's
masters,
No one will question the assumption
that the church organ looks upon Presi-
dent Joseph f. Smith as one of those
whom il considers to be "pcople Of
repute.' Of course, no statement
of the Governor has ever vet ap.
Peared as ''backing up" the statutes
of Utah covering his particular case
Nevertheless, it is "maryel' that.
while the statutes are staring him
so plainly in the face, Joseph f. Smith
has confessed that he persists IN defy.
ing them, as well as the moral senti.
ment of the vast majority in Utah;
that he chooses not to obey the law;
that he prefers to take his chances
against the law; that not only is the
law beneath his utter contempt. but
that God is to be disobeyod at his
pleasure; that, in fact, the State. the
Nation, the people of all Christianity
and the Almighty Himself count as
nothing against the notion, the desire
and the will of Joseph f. Smith.
AS the News truthfully remarks (not,
you understand, upon this particular
theme), cit is marvel'
