A Dangerous Romedy.
The Edmunds bill for the government
of Utah and the suppression of poly- ,
gamy having failed to accomplish the ,
objects promised, it has been supple
mented with a proposition from .Senator
Hour for fur more rigorous and com ,
peihensive im-asurfs to bo enacted by
C.ingress. The newspaper ol the country •
and other inifuencna which help to I
make public sentiment —all unmindful
of what Groto calls "constitutional .
morality,"—to a very lurge extent join
in approval of Hoar's bill, because it 1
propose* more drasiio legislation against
the accursed Mutinous and the "twin
relic of barbarism," polygamy, which 1
mnv conceive to be the only dis
tinguishing charactii istic of their faith
ami practice.
It will be well for thoughtful, patriot
ic and Christian people to pause and
consider this new nnti Mormon bill, lie 1
foro they give I heir assent to it. It pro
poses to go much further than any leg
isfation against popular rights ever In I
fore proposed in the American Congress.
The Edmunds bill overturned the local
self government ol I'tali and sought to
| deprive the people of that territory of
| the rights which have never been do.

and which it has never been shown i
j | ,
Cong re has any right to <lejrive a
1 territory of. but the Hoar bill propose*
t<> do all this and a great deal more
j Conspicuous features of its extruordi. 1
nary provisions are the clauses under
which the president is to appoint four
teen persons to act as trustees of the
Mormon church, for two yea:-, and pro *
viding for the annulment of all laws 1
creating or continuing the cor|>ornti<>ii
called the Perpetual Emigrating Fund
company, an escheat of its funds to the
United States. This proposed high
banded usurpation of the control of a
church corporation, which it is not
alleged has violated it* charter, and
' the *e<|ue#tration ot private property '
that the Hoar bill < onteu>{ late*, involve '
doct lines monstrous that 1
the contemplation of what
they would lead to, if tolerated, dwarfs 1
! into insignificance the results that
would ensue from turning loose a lot of j 1
average territorial appointees to plun
der the Mormon* and appropriate their
fat possession*.
Mormonism is a d.ftb-ult problem to
Ideal with; |iolygainy is a practice re
pugnsnt to tnoderu r.vibration and the -
decent sense of mankind : but nothing
connected with or resulting from eith-r
could work a hundredth part of evil
that would ensue from the congres-io
na< enactment an i judicial affirms-ion
of the Hoar bill.
Polygamy is tb prime vil c! . rged 1
against the Mormon*, and II I* the hope

The report of the Civil Service Com- (
[ uiissioneis will be transmitted to the
President fa -lay. It ia along document
covering thirty one pages of a pamphlet,
and reviewing the Service from it* con
(tition before the law under which the
preeont system was inaugurated, to the
operation of the fJommiasion up to and
including January 16. The present
board was appoimted nnd commenced '
their labors March V last, though the
law did not go into effect until July IG. j
Under the rules the head* of depait
meets are bound to report to the Com
1 minion tin-conduct and the competency
shown by those who are appointed after
passing therei|uired examination during
J their six month* probation. The result*
of a comparison of these records are
given, and the additional fact that all
of those who were appointed before
July 10, and whose probationary period
j consequently expired luring the time
covered in report, bad been confitmed
in the positiona—an evidence of their
efficiency. A number of letter* fiom
postmaster*, Collectors of Internal
Revenue and others in official corrce
pond en ce with the Commission, and
who have been furnished with elerks.;
Ac., on requisition by that loiy are
\
given. These ure without exception
commendatory of the system. Other
letter received from official source criti
cising the operation of the new law
are also given in full. It is understood
that no recommendation require either
Kxecutive or legislative action saving,
of course, the demand for an appropria
tion for the next fiscal year—is included
in the report. The President will, it is
believed, submit it to the Cabinet to
morrow before transmitting it to Con
gress. Though the hulk of the report
was written before the recent alleged
embryolic revolt by .Secretaries Chan
dler and Teller.it is believed that the
criticism credited to these Members
of the Cabinet are fully unswrred,
though uot in the shape of a formal
reply. It is claimed by the Commis
sioners that the average prolicu-ncy
shown hy their proteges in th>-de
paritnenls is much higher than those
appointed under system of political
patronage,

Tilt SITUATION AT CINCINNATI IiriOMI.M,
IVoKSE ANI> HOKSK.
CINCINNATI, KEBRCAKV 11. -The river
i- sixty-six feet one and three fourth j
inches and rising an inch an hour. It i
is rsining hard. The water lacks now
but a quarter of an inch of the flood of
last year and with the rains general and
the tributaries all rising it is impossible !
to predict what height may yet be
reached or when the rise will stop. It
is certain now that lust year's record ,
will be surpassed before night. Still I
.there are no < i-ualtie* to report in Cm
cinnati except the two disreputable
women who were carousing in a boat in '
tho lower part of the city yceterduy end ;
fell int* the water. Their male com- !
panions made no effort to save them. '
Ihe increased slago of water still ha* ,
no eflect to change the railroad situs j
tion beyond what it was last night. The |
Cincinnati, Hamilton and Dayton trains ,
can reach their depot until the water
reaches sixty-seven feet, and iban they
can land passengers at the stock yards,
three mile* out.
The situation is becoming alarming j
and rejiorts from up the river offer no ;
consolation. The streams nesr the
head of (be (hio valley are again
swollen. J'hcre are soma fears that
there is not sufficient water in the j
reservoir to last through the flood. The '
c.ittzi-n* are rrque ted to be sas-ng to
prevent the water famine. The situn
(ion at Newport and Ltwrenccburg is '
becoming hourly more distressing, j
hserv tiling pioiblt is being done by
the relief committee*. The people who
re interested cither in life or properly
are grtaping ihe situation and prepsr
•if for a wins' condition of affair* than
e*ite.| last )• ar.
I.VTIS "be rate of tb< rise increased

Water IS no v but little m> re than six j
t.utidrt-d feet !tnm the Burnett home I

<in the et side Mill Creek spreads to
sn average width of a mile and reaches ;
north out of -ight. The back water
runs beyond Spring Urove eemeteiy,
even mile* up the river. Cincinnati,
*-ovington and Newport bouses csn be
teen peering out of the water, while
down tbv river almost from hill to hill
the valley is covered. The cry of dt*
tress begin* to grow louder. In Newport
it is estimated that from five to six
thousand persons are botnole**. Their
•upplys were exhausted at noon. The
supply# of the relief committee have
given out. Ltwrenceburg sent a request
here to-day for help but refusal was sent
because of a want of funds. The con
tributions hare not been as generous as
. last year.
Quay on tho Tariff
Ex .Secretary Quay who has so long
held a prominent position in the lie
' publican party has recently expressed
views Upon the tariff and the political
issues which Democrats as well as Re
publicans can read with internet. We,
therefore, take a jmrtion of a recent
interview from an exchange. In answer
jtosqnestinn as to what he thought of
■ the coming Presidential election, he
' said ;
"I think the election will lie very
close.''
"Yea differ from other gentlemen
with whom I bawc conversed, who seem
to think the battle will be upon tariff
issues, which will strengthen the Re
publican party very much," said the
interlocutor.
"If the Democratic party,'' said Mr.
Quay, "were to come out list footed for
free trade it would strengthen the
Republican party overwhelmingly in the
manufacturing State*, but it might
weaken it correspondingly among the
agricultural ant! producing Slates
They will not do this, but will strike
out for a reduction of the pescnt dot ins
upon imports. A great majority of the
large manufacturers of the country will
be satisfied with a verry large reduc
tion upon present duties. They will,
however, desire to make their own
tariff and graduate our reduction. If
he gentlemen o n iUc fipatb, rhc
' , .* •
Jm H '
have taken charge of the Democratic
party, have discretion enough to adopt
their views, the tariff will cease to he a
material question in,the next campaign,
except so far as it iriay effect the que*
tion oflabor. Congressional legislation
has been directed purely to the protec
tion of capital. lam in favor of a iari
on labor.
"What do you mean by .t tariff on
labor ?
"I mean Congressional legislaaion
which will prevent, when wages become
high in this country, the importation of
Hungarians. Italians or others to take
the place of our laboring men in the
interests of the capitalists."
I pon the question of Civil Service
Reform. Civil Service Reform mean*
simply the piepetiuttioti oi *mall ring*
that have gotton possession of the
National, State and Municipal govern
merits, and I'm again t it. There is a
little factional fight in Philadelphia
between city and ward leaders, in which
the Republican politicians outside are
not concerned, it will not injure tie
party. Like a cat fight— at the elect i< n
it will produce mare cat*."
The Black Mun.
The New York Globe is owned by
colored men, edited by colored men,
and published in tlie interest of colored
men. It was established in ISSO and
appears to be prospering.
I nits issue of Saturday last it refers to
the appointment hy the Democratic Cov
. ernor Waller, of Connecticut, of a '
I colored man, Mr Prince If. Saunders,
a* a member of the Prison Commission
I of that state.
Also to his having placed a battalion
of colored men on mi equal footing with
the white militia.
Also to the remark of the Democratic '
• iovernor llosdly, of Ohio, in his me j
►age, that he looks forward to the day j
when "no citizen, in any state, will be
i treated as an inferior, or denied the full
measure of equal rights accorded to
j others, merely because be inherits a
black skin."
i Also to the message of the democratic
• iovernor Abbett, of New . Jersey, in
which he says :
"The regulation that refuses a Chris
| tian burial to the body of a decease!
j citizen ujon the ground of color. f not
, in my judgment, a reoeonahle regula
tion." He therefore "recommends the
I passage of a law which shall make ruch
a refusal, based on collor a criminal of
. fense, with such penalty as shall pre j
tent the recurrence of such sn set."
Also to the appointment by ex <ov
ernor Butler, of Massachusetts, of a
I colored .fudge in that Slate.
The Qi'he quotes these facts as "straws" j
showing the drift of public opinion on
the color question. Next week the ;
' Gtolc will have a chance to note that
the Republicans in Philadelphia are
organizing clubs to fight the Democra
! tic Mayer King because he appointed
colored men ou the |>olice force.
Also that the Junior Protestant As
, oociation, of which the Republican can- I
didate against Kmgi. a leading member
*t its meeting in Reading yesterday,
j inserted the word "while in its con
j stitution, in rr|>or,k to the request
;of a Cinrinsti I.ranch of colored pra
test AIIU for admission to the order.

Strange Phenomenon
Richard Stevens, a well-to do iarmer,
who resides with his wife and aeven
children at Jordon, about a mile and
■ • half west of Syracuse, N, Y., is very
j ill of pneumonia. A few night*ago two
•>f the daughters retired, leaving their
shoe* in the silting room. They were
aroused by a noise ai though something
! h.d been thrown into the bedroom,
and on investigation their shoes were
found to have been thrown from the
sitting room by the side of the bed
The next night a stone weighing about
I half a j-oun l fell with a crash by the
sid# of their father'* bed, at which tbey
were so alarmed tbey sat up the re
tnainder of the night. This did not
prevent the falling of other stones, ap
psrently from the ceiling of tho room
in which the family sat, although there
was no hole in the ceiling or windows,
and the doors wore all closed. Seven '
stones fell that night and the succeed
ing day, varying in sue from a quarter
of a pound to a pound.
The family were so alarmed that
they finally called in a neighbor and he
staid for a number of hours. No stone fell
while he was there, but as he passed
out of the door a large one struck the
floor at bis heels with a crash. During
the next night and day seven more
•tone* fell. Another neighbor who
was in the house happened tossy: "I
wish one of those stones would fall now'-
when immediately one fell between
his logs where be was sitting. He got
up and left the room, and,soon return
ing, looked up it the ceiling, saying.
"I wish another stone would fall," and
a largo one just grazed his bead and
struck at his feet. A number of Jordon
people have visited the house in the
attempt to solve the mystery, hut so
far tbey have not been successful.
The members of the family all raem
frightened and are on the alert to as
certain the cause of the strange phen
otnena. Sometimes two or three will
be together in the kitchen, when sud !
denly a stone falls ; or in tho sitting
room, where tbey are all sitting with
the doors doted, a stone falls. Some
of the stones are warm when they fall,
one or two were moist, and til were
like the ord nary cobble stone common
to the fields. Some members of the
family seems to believe this a warning.
