Inspired by this attempt to organize an international code for the treatment of the anarchists, the Cologne Gazotte, which is believed to be in this instance the mouth- piece of the German government, proposes an international bureau, situated at one of the great capitals of Europe, whos2 function shall be the constant surveillance of anarchism, in the persons of its most radical advocates. It is proposed, in short, to institut> an international police bureau, with a “Togues’ gallery,” vstem of anthropometrical measurements and a Ubrary of the Hterature: ofthe red dectrines-which smolder-in all of the con-- tinent countries. Such an. institutiom might readily find a piace in th> scheme= which Italy proposes.

The latest attempt to kill the czar, following so closely upon the assa ion of the Empress of Austria, ions of her slayer and the dis covery of a plot to kill the Emperor of Ger- many, should have the effect of hastening the acceptance by the powers of this invi- tation, which is evidently extended in a sinc-re desire to crush out the reds. In ail this the United States is mainly inter- ested to insure that the anarchists who may be driven out of Europe as a result of this propaganda do not find lodgment in this country.

William Watson, the English poet, in 4 letter to the London Chronicle, opjects to “the stupid lay figure of John Bull,” and holds it responsible for a good deal of for- e-gn misynderstanding of the English char- acter. “Possibly,” he says, “it was | wide of the mark at some former period, when we were more preponderantly an agricaliural people than now; though the general evidence of historic English por- traiture hardly supports the surmise. Pos- sibly also it may have had greater appar- ent verisimilltude for foreign eyes time when the house of commons largely recruited from the ranks of the Squire Westerns. But at any rate ‘the stupid lay figure of John Bull’ is not now an image of the characteristic Englishman was ‘Too bucolic to typify a ration so variously commercial and industrial as ourselves, the ‘John Bull’ of the comic papers, a burly. honest, doggedly straightforward but sentially pig-headed persen, no more stands for the tal qualities of the average centemporary Englishmen than does the democra any extent. ‘The whole issue as defined by this individ- val instance relates to the position of Utah as a state. Several years ago a statute was written, designed specifically to put an end to polygamy in that territory, under tae name of the Edmunds law. That act de- fined unlawful cohabitation as embracing the plural marriages of the Mormons, and Prescribed a punishment for all offenses of that character. Under it some prosecutions oceurred, resulting in a few imprisonments, and a change in the degree of openness with which tae church conducted its prescribed system of polygamy. Despite the statute, however, the custom continued in vogue as part of the church doctrine and of the so- cial system of the community. The assumption was then that in obeying this statute all polygamists should put away from them as wives «ll but one of the wo- men to whom they had been “sealed.” This, of course, involved a moral, if not a legal, obligation to provide for the support of those women who were thus deprived of the rights of wifehood. It {s a question wheth- er this requirement was generally followed or not, but in view of the continued prac- lice of polygamy by a large proportion of the members of the church it is plain that will be permitted to figure to worthy villager In ‘Adam le” who 2s | the law was never effective In any material sured ongenial audicnce of his feliows } degree that Frenchmen were scarcely more} In most cases where a polygamist was than four feet high.

Its use is usually indicative that the person sending it has no standing account, and therefore, in the main, that he is possessed of small capital. It serves all the purposes of a check, save that it costs a small fec, while the check indicates that the money sent has been drawing, in most cases, some interest. The extracrdinary increase in the use of this form of money transfer, there- fore, can mean only that there has been a great impetus in certain lUnes of business which call for small payments. Of course many of these orders pass between per- sonal friends. in the making and paying of loans, while others-are-sent for the exec:- sons in the rural regions to friends im the large cities, There are various other uses, all of whictr reflect directly: upon the com- mercia? activity: of the country.
