A GOVERNMENT PROBLEM OF
TWENTY-FIVE YEARS STAND
ING, AND STILL UNSOLVED.
THE (iE.NTU.es STILL UNHAPPY.
'J'bu editor of tlio f'ltilaildiibia Rec
ord has flail a blank cartridge at
Moimonism. II ih i iu J mtiun reads
well, but he Btiggi'Htd no remedy.
Read what bo nays :
In ntU'iniitiiiL' to 8iiiiprc38 Mormon-
im on the ai.count ot tlio tixiMtence ol
liolynamy in Vlnb, Now Mexico, Wy
oming and t'lHowhei'u iu tlio great I'ur
Went tlio Civil (iovornnient is brotiL'bt
lace to litce with the momentous prob
lem ol 'ccclcsiiuttu ul utithonty and tbe
rights ot conscience. However patent
ly immoral or essentially irreligious
this inatitiilion ot'pluritl murringes may
tie in onr concepiitin til' it, there can
bo no doubt of the ginoerity of the
real ninhs of the iiiii-uided pooplo
who adhere to it. Apurl from Ibis
iimliiulioii, it must !c conceded that
-McirmiHiiHiii h.m a riht not only to
tolertitioii lint to Tirntoftion, t ith tbo
subject of primary and paramount al
legiance to rpirilual authority, no mat
ter how imperions its claims may be,
neither the Statejior the I'nion has any
warrant, in either written or unwrit-
law, to interfere. Government,
Local or National, ct.n properly deal
only with practical results. Actual
lull-actions of tbo regulations it estab
lishes for tho pence and order of soci.
ely and inr tbe security of the individ
ual may bo punished, but tlio civil
power can rightfully wnj,'0 no crusade
upon mere principles, tiowover mis
chievous in their tendencies and how
ever menancinpr by reason of being
thoroughly syslomattzcdund organized.
It litiwl wait lor some overt act. There
can be no persecution for opinions.
Kven the worst intentions nro not pun
ishable unless accompanied by aoiuo
attempt to execute them. Our law of
conspiracy is cavctully guarded against
abuse in tho hands of tbo magistracy,
anusomeluing must bo done in pur
suance of an unlawful combination bo
fore its participants become indictable.
Section 3 ot tbo fourth article of the
federal Constitution ompowors Con
gress to "make all needful rules and
regulations respecting tbo territory or
oilier property belonging to the United
states:' aim section 4 ol tlio same ar
tide prescribes that "tho United States
shall guarantee toevery Stato a Itepub
bean lorm ol Government. The first
of tho ten amendments, which became
operative almostconcurrentlv with the
adoption of the Constitution, declares
that "Congress hIiuII make no law re
specting an establishment ol religion
or prohibiting the free exercise thero-
of." A thoughtful consideration of
tlio scopo and import ol tbeso features
oi tno organic law ot tho l.iuon can
hardly lull to emphasize tho difficulties
and doubts which environ tho wholo
.Mormon question. Tho Territorial
"rules and regulations" must not be
such as to coutravone religious frue-
dom. Nor can conditions iiivolvini!
such interference bo justly aflixed to
tbo admission ot new states framed
from tho Terrilorios, provided tho plnn
ol liovernnient proposed lie Kepubli-
can in form.
It is a manifest nelilio prineivii to
aver that any specified system ol belief
and practice touching religious matters,
no matter bow monstrous or absurd,
is in tact irreligious, and therefore not
entitled to "true eiercise" as a religion.
The adoption hy the civil authority ot
of such a censorship of creeds would
be a direct step toward, a religious
"establishment." It would bo to in-
slilti to a religious test at once. Criteria
of this sort may ho formulated by a
Church, but not by the United Slates.
The attitude ot tho American polity
is one of entire impartiality, and indeed
neutrality, toward all professedly re
ligious sects. It does not undertake
to define what religion is, nor to mark
the boundaries beyond which lies irro
ligion. Tho rights of cotiBciunce and
the liberty ot opinion belong aliko to
the Catholic and those representatives
ot tho poles of religious thought, the
Agnostic, (.linstian, Jew ana ileist
are equal in tho presence ot our public
law. iietween I'.piscopuhan, i'rcxtiy
teiinn, Baptist, .Methodist, Unitarian
ana uuaker tho iVation makes nodil
fcrcnee, tbosgh the Stale may thus
discriminate if a sufficient majority of
its voters so ortlain. A limitation, dis
sent and negation as to tho dogmas of
theology stand upon the same piano,
An cnliro divestiiuro of failh, a com-
pleto denial of the sacerdotal, can bo
nut under Federal outlawry no more
than orthodoxy ot tlio mostpronounced
and conservative description.
As women, by somo strango and per-
vorso fatality, is in ono way or another
at tno nollom ot all tho troublo in tho
world, so in this Mormon imbroglio
tno Kernel ol tbo controversy is tho
question of wives. This tho Stato has
aa undoubted right lo regulato; but it
is a moot point whether such power
ran no constitutionally exercised hy
tno general Uovcrnmctit. W ives are
good thing, and vert' bandy to have
about tho house : but there may bo
too much ol a good thing. In none of
he llnrly co-lit Mutes ol the Union is
any male person allowed more than
ono wife at a time. All without cx
ecplion, have statutes against bigamy.
n ore u not lor the notable tact that a
great many mon tlo not marry at all.
and havo no desiro oven lor so much
as one wife, it might be suspected tbat
nvy nan something to do with tbo
urrent uncharitable feeltna toward
tbe many-spotiBod Latter- Day Saints.
Asa consideration of natural olhics,
usiraelly flowed, anil without regard
ecclesiastical ordinance or civic
statutes, a good deal may be said in
lavor either ul single or plural matri
mony. The circumstance that in civ
ilised countriua tbe number ol mon is
about equal lo that ol women might
be taken as an argument from Nature
CLEARFIELD,
in ho half of tho one wile plan, wero it
not for tho pur.iling fact that whero
the patriarchal system has been in
vogue tbo female sox preponderate ; tho
supply iu each case thus answering
tho demand. This interesting problem
of sociology may bo loll to the evolu
tionists to solvo. The polygamist can
claim that the Lovilical luw, which tho
leading Cliristain denominations have
adopted lrom Judaism, does not pro
hibit a plurality of wives. It may ho
furthermore allegod against monogamy
that it is almost universally supple
mented by tho social evil.
An apology for tho temporizing
courso ol tho Government toward
Mormonism lor tho last quarter of a
contury may bo roniid in tho intrinsic
difficulty of tho question. Polygamy
is as knotty as it is naughty. A bill
of indictment cannot bo framed to in
cludo au ontiro community. Prosecu
tions ot Individual polygamisls fail
through defect of necessary legal evi
dence or from the refusal of juries to
convict. For this it is not easy to do
viso a remedy. The timo is coming
whon something decisivo will havo to
be done ; but what that something is
no statesmanship has v'ct been able to
discover. Mcunwhilo Mormonism
marches on, and fixes its hold more
strongly with the lnpso of every hour
upon vast tracts ol our domain.
"CHEEK" AAV "CMC."
While a cortnin amount of cheek as
as well as chic is ossential to success,
particularly in tbe lino of tho profes
sions, it may bo questioned whether
tho assumption ol ability or knowl-
edgo is not occasionally carried so far
as to react disastrously upon the pros
pects of a young man's career. It is
true that merit does not always meet
with recognition, ar.d that tbo public
will not invuriahly find out thoso who
can best render tho vunoiiu kinds ol
service which men have occasion to
seek lrom their fellows. Modesty may
bo too extreme, and be who has an ex
cess of it often stands in his own light.
Since there is no inherent force in the
laculty or attainment that constitutes
litness for a Hpecial work to bring such
work and tho woikman by somo oc
cult reciprocal attraction together,
there must usually bo a blowing of the
trumpet in order to adviso tho world
whero to look in any particular case
for tho needed man. This blowing,
however, is a delicate and exceedingly
hazardous resort when tho man under
takes to do it in his own behalf llirect
sell-praise is universally doomed in tho
highest degroo undignified and inde
corous. A really proud and high-sonl-ed
man shrinks from anything ap
proaching it. ISoasting, even by im
plication, is repugnant to genuine self
respect, and tho spirit which induces
an indulgence in it is very fur from tho
temper of true self-assertion. It be
trays, morcovor, a lack ol senso. Men
take it everywhere as a badgo of weak
ness as well as of tolly. It acts as a
boomerang upon its purpose, begets
distrust and establishes a presumption
against tho uttoror tbat it Is exceed
ingly difficult, although ho may in fact
bo an nblo mon, to entirely overcome.
This is especially true as applied to
professional mon. There is no im
propriety whatever in a mau's staling
that ho is a good liorseshocr, u good
driver, or an expert woodsawyor or
bootblack, provided he tolls the truth
in saying so. But what would bo
thought of a person who should ullego
ol bimsclt that he was an able lawyer,
a superior physician or an eloquent
preacher l So lar as tho medical pro.
tension is concerned, it is, indeed, a dis
tinctive point of its ethics not even to
advertise in tbo newspapers. Special
ists do this sometimes, and lor that
very reason they oro lrcniiently mis
taken for quacks. The lawyer hangs
out his banner on tho outer wall of his
ofilco in the shapo of a sign annoiiuc
ing his name and calling, and he mat-
go so. far as to put a card to the same
oltect in some journal ; but tho clo. gy
man very seldom does so much as
that.
Tbo very namo pretender has bo-
como the synonym ot a humbug. It
carries the idea ot falsity. There are
other kinds of pretence than bald, out
right sell laudation, shallow and hail
taught intruders into the hiL'licr voca
lions of lilo are rarely at a loss for
methods of pushing their claims for
notice. A temporary success may be
won in this way now and then, but it
soon comes to an ignoble end. If
person ot this sort happens to be a
lawyer ho is ready for the most part
to answer oil-hand tbe proloundost and
most complex questions in jiinsnru
donee. lie will never tell you be does
not know. A thorough master of tho
law is apt, on tho other band, to re
servo his decision on tho simplest point
inai may tie propounded to liim, and
to first verify his opinion by recurring
to the authorities before announcing
it. Tho young lawyer olten marvels
at the dullness of the Judgo who takes
several weeks lo decide a perfectly
plain case, when for himsolt tivo min
utes would be enough. It is thu suinn
way not infroiiuenlly with the medical
student in regard to his professors, and
in tho theological seminaries there aro
scores of fresh young men who clearly
comprehend tbo atonement, jttstiflca
tion by litith, predestination and free
will, tho problem of tho origin of evil,
and ail tno oilier doctrines and mys
teries that eminont divines havo res
tied with for tho last 18(10 years.
If tho community is to be disappoint
ed in a man it would see in to need no
argument to show that it would be a
great deal better for him for tho dis
covery to bo mado that he amounts lo
moro than ho was at first luken for
instead of less. J'hilailclphia Jircnrd.
What wb Meed. What wo want is
stronger men : not mon of more doli-
cato habits, or moro fastidious tastes.
W e want men of prophetic insight, and
proplictio earnestness, and prophetic

old prophetic flro. We want men of
clear head, and large hoarl, and strong
u mon ol resislless logic and low.
oring imagination ; and it lo all these
bo added tho ready hand and tho vig
orous arm, so much the better. We
want men with tho wroslling thews
which throw tho world. Wo want

What Mrs. lioror proposod to thow
by demonstration was the preparaion,
at prices as low us possible, of ktteles
Iroiu inexpensive tnatetmls as wej as
those ot u higher cost. Mr. Spanjler

Mrs. Itorer then procooded will tho
practical part ol her lecture. There
was a handsome gas stove in tho fore
ground, closo by tho Btovo a table
upon which Iho materials were miigled
lor the various dishes, and in the lack
ground was a blackboard, givinp tho
proportions for each of the following
viands: Soup stock, pressed meas for
soup, bread mutton chops, potatopuirs,
snow pudding, bread, and two wtys ol
making, coffee. Tho last nainec she
explained hy using tho French per
colating process and tho old-faslioned
method of boiling. Tho produits of
these two systems were handed around
among tho audience, and tho general
verdict was in lavor of the Flench
plan.
When Mrs. lioror was cmphamzing
tno necessity ol bay loaves in the soup
a slock man aroso and inquired what
they wero. llo bad nover seen them
and presumed many others had not.
Mrs. Itorer said they decorated figs.
Tboy could bo bought inthosloros, and
a half pound, worth fourteen cents,
would last lour years. Two leave
wore to be used at a time. Hoto books
wero in requisition, buttho trouble ap
peared to bo that the lecturess spoke
loo rapidly. W hen it oamo to frying
mutton chops sho gave tho advice :
"Always suvo every litllo particloof
bread loll lrom tho table, Uuvo a box

buy cracker crumbs; bread answers
just as well."
"In breaking up egis, always add
water to the eggs if you are going to
dip anything into bread crumbs alter-
ward, they go twice aB tar.
"Always skim soup stock very care
fully. Grease is iinwholosnmo and
nauseating. Buttoral a high tempera
turo produces acids very injurious."
In frying tho mutton chops they
wero placed in a pertoratod sheet iron
basket arrangement. Somo in the au-
dienco saw that a very large amount
of lurd had boon melted in another

Mrs. Itorer was asked why so much
lard was used. She said it was less
greasy by having lard enough to cover
the meat than having just a litllo, and
Ihe latter plan took double tho amount,
"So in thn old way of boiling coffee,"
remarked Mrs. Holer, "you bad to go
into tho garret to get the best ol It.
Tho advantage and economy of a

wero set forth, and a few hits at tbo

MORE COUA' TO THE ACRE.
Tho farmers in tho Middlo and At
lantlo States, says tho Germantown
Telegraph, aro beginning to study out
tho expediency of raising morocoreals
to the aero than tboy havo borotoforo
boon doing. They soo vory clearly
that it can be done, and in the case ol
maize or Indian corn, especially so. It
is true lhat tho labor bestowed will be
somewhat greater; but when they con
sider that a vory largo portion of this
labor is done with machinery, it does
not present tho snmo drawback that it
did lormorly. Besides, thoro is no
crop that shows tho benefit of good
culture so much as corn. H cannot
stand well iu its own dolence against
tho rapid growth of a multitude of
greedy, rampant weeds ; hence its
gratiludo when tlio invading enemies
aro thrust out, and it is allowed to go
on us way rejoicing.
In referring to a heavy yield of corn
growa by Xathan (i. Pierco, in Mary
land, during tbe year just closod, ho
furnishes for publication tho statement
that one hundred and ten bushels wero
tho product por aero, or rather that
number of bushels, allowing seventy
tivo pounds of ears to equal one bushel
of shelled corn. But to remove ull
causes for cavil, he sets down tho not
yield, notwithstanding this allowance,
ut ono hundred bushels per acre. This
seems to bo a liberal ostimato, and
farmers in general will no doubt admit
it to bo so. Ilis modo of culture is to
plow tho ground, which was a gravelly
loam, about tho firHt of May, harrow it
in the usual manner, and treat it to
nine hundred pounds of a standard fer
tilizer por aero ; again well-harrow tho
land, make the rows three feet apart,
then a "small amount" of fertilizer
scattered in each row, and on May 10
drop three grains of corn (tho Lost
Nation variety) two feet apart iu the
rows ; cultivate and hoo tho crop four
times, cutting out ono of tho three
plants and removing all tho suckers
and weeds until tho timo arrives for
cutting and removing to tho barn for
husking, Vc-
Tbis ib only what every good farmer
ought to bestow upon a crop of corn.

Paul Pioneer-Prat : "There seems to
be so many erroneous notices among
the amateur meteorologists ot tho city
about minimum temporntiiro of the

it correctly, that a few lines lrom an
'old woathorcock,' I trust, will not bo

tho temperature of tho wall of any

Perth Amboy Terra Cotta Company,
and of a color similar to fire brick. The
tiso of terra cotta will admit of a great
deal of simple ornamentation in tho
columns and tho different floors will bo
marked by lines of fancy brick,
Tho first floor will be occupied by
tho inward and outward baggage
rooms, and tho ticket offices, of which
there will bo two, ontirely distinct
from each other ono for local and the

thoir tickets and tho baggago will bo
deposited in tbo baggage room at tho
corner of Fifteenth and Filbert streets,
which will bn arranged so as to bo ap

ways, eleven feet wide, will lead to tbo
second floor, but two elevators will be
running constantly to accnininoduto
thoso who find even a single short
flight of stairs too much. Tho lower
story will be sixteon feet high. Arriv
ing passengers will leave the station
on tho opposite side, descending to the
I street by u singlo broad flight of stairs
into a lobby thirty foot by thirty-two,
from which they will reach Merrick
street through tho southern entrance.
Tho two stairways, divided by tho
ticket ollico, converge at a landing
half way up, and lend to the general
waiting-room, through which all pas
songors will pass ou their way to
tho trains. This is a spacious room
51 feet in width by 80 in longth, with
a lolly ceiling ot glass, tho altitude of
the room being 44 feet. An abrupt

Four entrances with wide doors will
afford tho means of communication
with Ihotrainshed, tho lobby between
tbo doors and tho gates being forty

MOUNT VERNON.
While every American has heard of
Mount Vernon, probably not ono in a
hundred knows whence it derived the
namo. J heunlorttinato uukool lion-
moulli had a privato Secretary named
Vernon, a prudent, sensible man of
business, who, alter the Duke's death,
found favor in influential quarters, and
under William 111. became Secretary
of Slate, llo left a son, Edward, born
lC8t, who, greatly against his lather's
wishes, entered tho Navy, and, serving
ilh early distinction, rose to tho ran
of Admiral. In 1722 ha was re
turned to tho House ol Commons, and
having, in July, 1739, declared there
the Perto Ucllo might be reduced with
six soil of tho lino, and that be would
stake bis lilo and reputation on the
success of the expedition, ho was sent
off with a squadron to do it, succcdrd,
and gave his men 110,000, which had
just arrived to pay the Spanish troops.
On returning home, he received the
thanks ol both Houses and the free

tbat day, however, his star declined.

Men laugh at their wives if they
display a tendency to movo tho furni

cal change iu the appearance of a
familiar room ; but tho impulse is a
natural ono. A distinguished physi
cian has said that 'it is wise and whijlo
some to break the uniformity of decora
tion from limo to timo, however simple
it may bo ; it is wholesome not less to
tho hotly than to tho mind.' A
woman passes so much of her timo in
tho houso, sho needs tho harmless
stimulus dorived from these slight
changes. Thoro is a relief to her
mind from the monotony of her daily
round of sweeping, baking, dish-wash-
ing, etc. e rejoice in tbo impetus
winch decorativo art has received and
which makes itself felt in tho most
modest household, if nothing more
than the variety and beauty of dishes.
It is suggestive and pleasing to put a
Cinto butter plato in tho shapo of a
green leaf or a pansy at each plate
and to put cheese and pickets ou the
pretty majolica plates lfffido especially
for them and to adorn tho table wilb
tho flower decorated dishes which arc
dainty enough for a King and cheap
enough for ulmost anybody. It is a
fact easily vciilied that it docs not tire
ono holt so much to wash, wipe nnd

SOME Tllot HUTS.
