Senator. t®^The struggle with the odious offenses of MoiT.i<inisra was not ended with the appointment of the commis­ sion by Congress. The wily polyga- mists have pretended to conform to the letter of the law by ostentatiously putting away all tiieir wives but one. jnd have placed monogomista in the public offices, who are men as firmly devoted to the faith as those who have been set aside. They intend to test the constitutionality of the law, but declare advance that if it is decided against them, they are determined not to submit at any cost. To that Issue it is bound io come, whether they will submit or not. Rebellion and treason against the law of the land will have to be suppressed by force, if other means will not avail. The Salt Lake Tribune has a calm but ap­ palling revelation of the social results of polygamy in actual fact that are as inseparable from it lierte as In Oriental countries, and declares, with a solem­ nity that calls for serious reflection, that if Brigham Young had,introduced his system a hundred years sooner, "neirherln morals nor in any attribute which lifts civilized man above the the barbarian, would Utah have any advantage over Turkey or Egypt.*' It then adds: "Why the United States is carefnl to quarantine pest houses and ships in which epidemic diseases are raging and leaves tlds Territory with­ out the yellow flag eff a nation's hor­ ror above it, is a mystery which thoughtful men cannot understand.'1 Mk. especially a dead man, with assertions - « - as utterly false and slanderous as are '4*; the above, when applied, to President GarfleTd.-pats Itself beneath respect. H9^1n an address which was read a few daya ago before the National Edu­ cational Convention, the statement was made that thjity-two per cent, of the voters of the country are unable to read llie ballots they cast. These fgures, which. It is claimed are taken from the forthcoming census, disclose ' a condition of aflairs which 16 anything but comforting. In all there are two million voters who cannot spell the rames of the candidates for whom Ithey vote. One million, five hundred thousand of these Illiterate electors live In the old Slave States. A large numlier of them were of course born and reared in slavery, and it is idle to expect any Improvement in their case. It Is undeniable, however, that a large percentage of the children of the South are growing up in dense ignor­ ance. In a few years they will be en­ titled to vote, and they will not be a "whit more Intelligent than their fath­ er*. An ignoraat, mess of ,voters is, under ©or political system, a constant source of danger to the State. The Southern States should not forget the fact that school houses are in the end far leti expensive than penitentiaries. I@"The intelligence.was cabled all the way from Egypt yesterday that the English had placed another gun in position. These, sensational reports should be stopped. The public Inter­ est was wrought up to such a pitch the other dAy by the thrilling announce-, ment that the Duke of Connaught had inspected the fortifications, that half the wofld was unfitted for business, and the other half thoroughly demor­ alizedand now that another gun has been placed in position, the excite­ ment is such as to causc grave appre­ hensions as to the condition of the public mind. If the correspondent of the Associated l'ress at Alexandria should discover that the new gun has been swabbed out, we hope he will break tlie news as gently ap possible to an already over-agitated public, and if they decide to fire it off the people should be prepared for the news by a few preliminary dispatches.--Inter Ocean.
