Good advise, that. But we rise to In­ quire why the whites of the South don't follow ItP Too much politics and too little hard work has held the South back in the march of progress, besides bringing oo the war, with its unnumbered woes. a - *' . P£<:%5,' "•'• tVGeorge Q. Cannon, the Mormon high priest, for whom the federal au­ thorities of Salt Lake City have offered a reward of $500, was arrested Satur­ day at Wtnnemucca, Nevada. He is wanted for a violation of the Edmunds law, he having been the most violent as well as one of the ablest Mormon leaders. He will be best remembered by the country as the long time dele­ gate from Utah In Congress. His nest address will probably be the peniten­ tiary of Utah. te~WIU Mexico become the Canaan of Mormonism ? An a ;ent of the church is no* on the soil of the Astecs nego­ tiating for the purchase of several million acres of land and it is reported that his overtures are favorably re oeived by the Mexican government. It is quite evident that the MormonB have come to the conclusion that their presence will not be tolerated in this country much longer. It they wait too long they will most assuredly feel the force of Uncle Sam's foot. Mexico is welcome to them, although It would be better for them to go to the Sand­ wich Islands, for the United 'States may want Mexico in a few years, in which case the Mormons would have to pack up and look for another place of abode. f t^THere is some plain truth from the New York Sun.- If the Democracy is to be saved, the whole Pan-Electric gaug and all Pan-Elecric proceedings must be eliminated. Mr. Garland must go; he allowed (be department .of jus tice to be prostituted for his private advantage. Mr. Goode must go; he began the uoautborlz§& use of official power for the purpose of a private speculation. Mr. Lamar must go; fol­ lowing Goode and Garland, he advised that the Pan-Electric scandal be fast­ ened more firmly upon the administra­ tion and the Democracy. A number of other high officials must go; they are deep in Pan-Electric stock books. Which should be saved--the Democ­ racy or the Pan-Electrlc? And which< ahonld a Democratic and reform presi- dent prefer? Horatio Seymour. iftntie year's death roll of great men to-day must be added the name of Horatio Seymour--the sage of Deer- fleld--who passed away Friday, Feb. 12th. Mr. Seymour was refined in taste and vulture and fastidious in the choice of language. By his party he has always been admired and loved to a degree scarcely approached by the regard shown tor any other Democratic lead­ ers; and by his opponents his abilities were conceded and his lofty character respected. Since 1S68 he has lived in retirement at Deerdeld among his books and friends. Occasionally be would appear on the platform on special occasions for objects in which bis sympathies were enlisted, and he never failed to excite enthusiasm by bis presence. His death will be sin­ cerely mourned by the entire country. ^ • 1 ' I l| VHf •HWVI sr s Tt1 * " fW' _ jSj*; ! IS FULL ! IS FULL ! Bonslett & S rOKl KL, IV GOODS C.

When Belknap was Secretary of War, he was accused of selling out a post-traderslilp impeachment followed and be resigned to eseape conviction. Garland Is charged with having received half a million dollar's worth of Pan-Electric Stock for "his name and influence" as a senator, and with having used bis office M Attorney General to prosecute suits •gainst the validity of the patents of m rival company; in fact, of U6ing the legal machinery of the government to float hlsPan Electric stock to par. But he is neither Impeached uor removed, nor does ho resign. He ' pays no at- tlon* to the , charges, and Cleveland apparently backs him.

J©-The New York Sun thinks the biggest "pan-roast" ever served up for the American people Is the roasting that has been given by the press of the country of all parties, with remarkable unanimity, to the Pan-Electric section Of Mr. Cleveland's Cabinet. The lead­ ing Democratic papers are particularly lavage at the position in which the party is placed through the prosecu­ tion of a suit by Mr. Garland's depart­ ment at Government cost, in which Mr. Garland himself has'an enormoui money interest. On the surface of the affair appears to be as offensive as any thing revealed in the "Mulligan let­ ters," and no amount of explanation will eyer remove the cloud it has brought upon the Administration. JCvery candid person admits the pro­ priety of obtaining a definite judgment •poo the telephone question, but can­ dor nod the public's sense of propriety revolt at the presence in the Cabinet •f a largely interested party to the litigation.--£c.
