The dangers attending the

being illustrated. Per instance :
A few days ago, one S C Evans

was immediately identified as an
escaped convict, who owes ten
years of hard labor to the State.
We have received at copy of
“the Life and Times of Joseph E
Brown,” by Col. Herbert Felder.
It is an exhaustive biography of
Senator Brown, and some little
time will be needed for it to be so
studiously read a* to enable a just
criticism of tlie work to be pen
ned. Being the history of the
career of a man who has been
thorougly indentified with the
history of Georgia since 18^7 to
the present day, howevei, it can
not fail to be deeply interesting
and highly instructive. It can be
had at the Book Stands, and of
News Dealers Speaking on
that ever fruitful theme, “the
country editor,” the Atlanta Con
stitution thus expresses itself:
“The local weeklies scattered all
over the country are in their way
potential factors of civilization.
They develop their localities,
bring their resources before the
world, and in a manner educate
their readers. They are always
on the side of the churches, the
schools, progress ana reform.
Men who live and die working for
such o ! jecs tare public benetacto rs
and deserves a substantial reward.
An exchange says that besides
the Canary birds raised in this
country, 150,000,000 are yearly
imported from Germany, and that
it costs about $4,000,000 annually
to feed those in America. This
is undoubtedly an overestimate,
but they are, nevertheless, dear
little creatures.
It is gratifying to note a marked
effort over the country to divest
daily journalism of police
gazette features. The insurance
of orange groves is the latest tiling
announced in Florida. It is said
that several American and One
British company are now prepared
to guarantee against frost and
ice. Last year the disasters set
in against human life. This year
they are directed against prop
erty. The loss of life in 1883 by
accident was greater than during
any corresponding period in ten
years. The number of Drge fires
thus early in 1S84 has been pro
portionately great. The re
port has reached Birmingham,
Ala., of a murder followed by
a lynching, forty-five miles west
of that place, in Walker county, at
the terminus of work on the
western Pacific Railroad. All that
can be learned from that point,
which is remote from mail or
telegraph facilities, is that the
trouble grew out of an altercation
between a railroad contractor
named Pope and a negro employe,
name unknown. The negro was
dr Aik, and is said to have shot
Pope through the heart in cold
blood. A large number of negroes
were on the ground, and they,
with a few wdiites, seized the mur
derer and hanged him to the near
est tree. Soft soap in some
shape pleases nearly everybody,
notwithstanding its basis is
“lye.” The Thomasville En
terprise has this to say of their
artesian well: “The artesian well
is still at a stand still, those in
authority not having fully decided
what they will do about it. It is
reported that the county will
probably withdraw from tho un
dertaking and turn the wholo
matter over to the City Coun-
cil.-

CITY TREASURER’S REP0RT.

C. L. Harrell, City Treasurer,

The fate of Lieutenant Augur,
of the Unitod States navy, Mas a
sad one. He was a graduate of
Annapolis, and but 31 years of
age. His last cruise was on the
Yantic in the arctic regions, and
it is thought the exposure he then
experienced'Uad something to do
with the insanity which recently
developed in him. He had been
confined at Blcomingdale for a
month, and was subject to inter
vals of great mental excitement,
during which he was under the
impression that his life was being
sought for by some unknown
party. At about 3 o’clock on
Wednesday morning last he
escaped from his room by break
ing a window guard, and dressed
in only his nightshirt, wandered
off in the snow. His escapo was
discovered almost immediately
and a large force sent out to find
him. A heavy fog prevailed,
however, and it was not until four
hours had elapsed before he was
r ound, entirely nude, lying dead
the snow. He was a son of
Gen. C. C. Augur, of the United
States army,
A correspondent of one of our
state exchanges asks a few very
pertinent question on the subject
of tariff reform which m ill puzzle
our high tariff friends to answer.
Says lie : “Does a tariff for pro
tection increase or lessen the price
of the thing protected ? If it in
creases the price to the consumer,
why should he be required to pay
the increased price thus pro
duced L. What right has a govern
ment -to make him pay an in
creased price for the articles he
consumes, except for the sake of
raising revenue for governmental
purposes. If the tariff does not
increase the price cf the thing
protected, why does the manu
facturer want a tariff for pro
tection ?”

great grand-fgthe'r. ‘ They are esti
mated to be 150 years old, and
possess the crudeness of construe;
tion incident to that early period
a Legislature, and authorizes
President to appoint a Governor
and council of nine member
rule the Territory. ! It is fo
that the Legislature of Utah, al
though containing no polygamists^
is controlled by the Mormons in
the interests of polygamy. The
Cullom bill is framed on the
theory that the Mormons will al
ways control the Legislature, and
will, therefore, perpetuate poly
gamy in the Territory; that to
destroy the power and influence
of the polygamists in the affairs of
tho Territory the Legislature must
be abolished.
Senator Brown takes the ground
that the Edmunds law is uncon
stitutional because it enforces a
test oath, and that the Cullom bill
is unconstitutional because it de
prives the pteople of Utah of their
rights as citizens.
The strong pointg which Sena
tor Brown makes in his argument
are those' against the Edmunds
law and the Cullom bill. Speak
ing particularly of the Cullom bill
he says truly, that it is unfair to
punish 112,000 persons in Utah for
the sins ®f 12,000.
One of the weak points is that
he assumes, in order to strengthen
his position in opposition to tiie
proposed legislation, that a cru
sade is intended against the Mor
mons as a religious sect, and ar
gues that if the power of the gov
eminent can be used to destroy
one religious sect it may be used
to destroy another.
This is probably the first time
that the statement has emanated
from an intelligent and authora-
live source that the effort was to
destroy Mormonism. It has al
ways been understood that legis
lation was direeted against the
crime of polygamy, and the gov
eminent thus far has been wholly
unable to reach the criminals ai d
punish them.
But Senator Brown has a plan
for destroying polygamy root and
branch. It is to use a portion of
the missionary money sent abroad
to convert the heathen, to Chris
tiania the Mormons. He wants
the church to undertake the work
which the government has failed
to accomplish. If Senator Brown
could give any assurance that his
Christianizing plan promised suc
cess it is probable that Congress
would gladly turn the polygamy
business over to the church, and
would, in addition, make hand
some annual appropriations to
send missionaries to turn poly
gamists from their wicked ways.
It is doubtful, however, if Senator
Brown could convince any con
siderable number of his Senatori
al brethren of the feasibility of
his plan.
When the Union and Central
Pacific railroads were built it was
said that immigration would des
troy polygamy. It hasn't done it.
Polygamy has a stronger hold in
Utah than it ever had. The argu
ment of Senator Brown that mor
als outside of Utah are bad has
little bearing on the subject in
hand. Crime and immorality
exist ever- where, but nowhere in
a civilized country except in Utah
is the law against crime and im
morality tfpeh and notoriously
violated and defied by an entire
community. Senator Brown may
have satisfactorily demonstrated
that the Edmunds and Cullom
plants for solving -the Mormen
problem' are not permissible under
the Constitution, but his plan does
net promise a successful solution
of the problem.”

Morrison the Allegri 1 . Boss of tho

New York Commercial Advertiser.
Representative Belfordsays that
two men run the House of Rep
resentatives—the Speaker, who
can, if he desires, recognize s
member who wants to speak, and
Holman of Indiana, who by bis
objections, clogs the wheels ift
Legislation ; but members are be
ginning to recognize a third
power, Mr. Morrison of Illinois,
who seems able at all times to get
the attention of the Speaker, aqji
when he thinks a day’s session
one far enough he moves to
adjourn. The motion, of county
never fails to carry, for the mill

as a boy, often stood around and
admired it. *
