Mr.. John Goldman has published a
book in New York, ON Polygamy in
Utah. We make the following ex-
tract:


"The women themselves are not
adverse to polygamy. Among the
working classes in the country they
say it promotes a division of labor.
The Utah farmers wives do not have
the overworLed air of the women of
our country districts, who are obliged
to singly bear all the children and do
all the work of the family.


"I was astonished to hear polygamy
advocated by ladies of education and
refinement; among them school
teacher who strongly favored it. per-
haps because she was no longer young.
AT hotel where / was staying | met
young married lady of one of the
first families of Salt Lake. Two of
her intimate friends were with her.
One day when they were out of the
room she asked me: 'What do you

"rhe Mormon ladies believe that in
the other world married woman ar
rives at higher sphere than an un-
married one, and that woman who is
willing that her husband should have
another wife has still higher place.
The men share in the same belief, and
think that the more wives they have
the happier they will be in the future


al know bishop who said that he
really did not want to take a second
wife, and his wife did not wish him
to marry again, until they both prayed

process, and then they concluded to
have another woman in the family. /

by selecting Young and pretty girl

As general rule politicians are birds
Of prey. They make the politics Of the
country their profession, not that they
may purify the governmental machinery
or enoble the race, but for the. purpose
of making money without work. The
science Of government all should study,
and it would seem proper that the pro-
fessional politicians should make the
science Of government their paramount
study. In reality they know nothing of
it. They simply learn shrewd tricks for
carrying. elections. They only work to
gain victory for selfish ends. ~. a7

Nov, if his treatment we're the very

physician, then nobody knows better
than he that he is deceiving and hum
bugging the people whose money he
takes. If he is physician, then he
knows that he is disgracing his profess
sion by falsehood and robbery, for the
man who obtains money by false pre-
tenccs, is both a liar and cheat.


If Mr.. O'Leary is not not an educated
physician he is fraud and a swindle.
If he is an educated physician he is still

y
in letter to Michigan paper, says that
the female suffrage experiment which has
now been on trial for four years in that
Territory has proved an unqualified sue
cess. Some two years ago Judge King
man of the Supreme Court Of that Ter
ritory wrote letter to the Pennsylvania
Woman's Suffrage Association in which
he made similar statements. Both de-
clare that elections are conducted more
orderly, and that there is less drunkenness
than formerly, that as jurors and bailifs
women fulfill their duties fully as well as
men, and they express an earnest hope
that Michigan will adopt the constitu-
tional amendment, giving the right of
suffrage to women.


We have always been opposed to fe-
male suffrage, but we must confess that
the statements Of the gentlemen above
named is not only competent testimony,
but it is the very best evidence. 1t is
not the conjectures of theorists, but
the deliberate conclusions of the highest
executive officer, and one of the highest
judicial officers of the Territory, after
judicial test Of years. These letters are
the strongest argument in favor Of wo-
man suffrage that We have ever encount-
cred, because they are based upon actual,
practical test.


We apprehend that the great MAORI
ty of the opponents of this doctrine are
like ourselves, somewhat prejudiced
against the movement, but willing to be
convinced that they are wrong, and to
act up to their convictions We can
scarcely help wishing that Michigan
will adopt the amendment, just as we
would like, upon entering some unex-
peeted region, to have some one else go
ahead. So much has been said on both
sides Of the question that we would like
to see it thoroughly tried, and if Mich
igan will please 60 ahead and give the
matter a fair trial. we will be much
obliged to her. If it proves a success,
we shall willingly accord to her and
Wyoming Territory the honor of good
explorers and discoveries in the hither-
to unknown regions Of the social world,
and claim for ourselves only the humble
position Of followers, while on the other
hand, if it tproves failure, she will only
have to back down, just what lots of
people have done before her. Come
to think it over we advise her to try it
on by all means. :.r-~

In our last issue we had something
to say upon the exceedingly dry and
uninteresting subject that heads this
article, and we propose to say something
more, Notwithstanding the general re-
pugnancy felt toward it, Men always
prefer to believe that they are imposed
upon, that they are cheated and rob-
bed, rather than admit to themselves or
others that they have wilfully or negli-
gently squandered their own substance,
0: criminally failed to make the most of
what God and nature has placed in
their hands. It is weak and coward
~ disposition, and one to which We are
all more or less liable; to charge our
misfortunes, our want of success and
our failures upon others, while the
blame lies at our own door. It is one
of our greatest faults to fail to see and
acknowledge our faults. We are so
blind to our own errors and failings, and
so prejudiced in our own favor, that we
cannot see those errors and failings, and
are ever ready to believe that our more
successful neighbors are in some way
the cause of our own poverty and dis
tress.


It is 50 nearly universally true that
We may assert it, as & general PROPOSE
tion, that the only way to competency
or wealth, is by the hard and narrow
road Of industry and economy. Some.
times, of course, man accidentally be-
comes the owner Of large fortune, but
a mans chances for anything of that
kind is not much better than his chance
to become the President Of the United
States.


The old gentleman who told his son
that waiting for fortune was a good
deal like taking a stool and pail to the
middle Of the meadow and sitting down
to wait for COW to back up to be milk
ed, was not very far out of the way.
But by industry and economy every
man Of sound body and mind has dead
sure thing on competency and even
wealth. :,.-


Suppose young man starts out earn
ing $500 year, and it costs him $500
to live and meet expenses; he may keep
on from June to eternity in this way
without making a cent. But if by
close economy he saves 500 over and
above his expenditures, he has got
something that will help him make
money as long as he lives. If he keeps
on saving, after while his money will
earn for him as much every year as his
own labor and skill, and whereas when
he commenced he had only one pair Of
hands to work for him, now he has got
two pair. Not only that, but his new
hands require no food or clothing, and
It costs him nothing for tools, or tobac-
60 or beer. It is all income and no
outgo.


Again, if 4 man is truly economical,
he will gather new experience and skill
each year that will enable him to earn
more money next year than he did last.
What shall We say Of the farmer or
business man who goes, on year
after year adding nothing to his
stock Of knowledge and skill? He sim
ply deserves the fate and degradation
Of a drone and he generally gets it, and
then he becomes one Of your. regular
old croakers, who are everlastingly
stowling about everything and every
body but themselves; ;''+ 7: 1s.. { ':.12s . .s

The French do not seem to be very
successful in retaining their great State
prisoners. 1t was only short time
since that Rochetort escaped from his
place of banishment, and now Marshal
Bazaihe has accomplished the same feat.
It is said that the Marshal had given
his word of honor not to attempt an es.
cape and that therefore, the government
had relaxed its vigilance in guarding
him. Whether this be true or not
every philanthropist will rejoice in his
liberation. He was made the scapegoat
for the failure of the French in the
Franco -Prussian war. His soul is
stained with no crime, but France must
throw the odium Of failure on somebody
and Bazaine was selected as the victim.

their better sense they will restore Ba-
zaine to honor and glory if he still lives,
but until that time he must wander in

GO TO BEYER'S PARK TO-DAY.


The annual festival for the benefit Of St.
Joseph's Male Orphan Asylum will take place
to-day at Beyer's SeYenth-street Park, closing
at 113O tonight. Several of the Catholic
societies have taken an active part in getting
up the festival, and many of our charitable
citizens, without regard to creed, have hber-
ally contributed to Its success. A handsome
flag will be awarded 20 the junior society that
shall have sold the largest number of tickets.
There has been q spirited contest for this beau
tiful prize among the Junior knights Of several
Organizations. Every possible arrangement
has been made to ensure the pleasure and COM
fort of guests, and as the weather promises to
be fair there will NO doubt be large company
and abundant delight.


st. Joseph's Asylum maintains nearly one
hundred orphan boys, who hail from every sec
ton of the city, and therefore the people Of all
sections should cont-ibute to its support.


The building is now undergoing requisite en-
largement in order to meet growing wants and
necessities, and the good Sisters have pretty
hard time to meet current expenses. Hence
the kind hearted and generous Of all denomi-
nations ought TO show their appreciation of the
cause of the helpless little orphans by gener-
ously assisting to-day TO make their home more
comfortable, and free 1t from the incubus of
debt. It will be consoling thought for all
who may patroniZe the festival that while In
nocently enjoying themselves they are at the
the same time helping to clothe, feed, educate
and shelter about hundred poor orphan boys.
