The following address to the public was issued: The time has come when action is nec- essary. The honor and fair name of the nation are in danger. Licentiousnoss and total disregard of law are bringing us into disgraco amonyz all people of the earth. Europe, in the days of slavery, is calling upon us In" the namo of decency to cleanse aurselves of this species of moral corruption which in foulness has not been surpassed during tho present cen tury. Ever since Jo Smith, than whom no greater frand ever lived, established the Mormon church, whoso fundamental doctrines are polygamy and profligacy, there has rested upon the nation a stain which has been a disgrace to us and the civilized world, The Mormon church has flourished like rank vegetaiion until to-day it has tens of thousands supporters and millions of money, converts in large numbers being conducted from their country and from the pauper distructs of Europe while missionarios are constantly mnp{uyud in thesouthmislending thepoorand ignovant. Children are brought here from abroad to be educated in the infamous practices of the saints, elders and church, which was founded in deceit and superstition, is daily gaining enormous power and in- fluence. The world cries out against such progress, and, in the name of hu- manity and common decency, demands a halt in the strides of lechery and law- breaking, Firesides of America are the bulwarks of the nation’s liberty and interceding agents of its redemption and everlasting preservation. Let them be guarded with Jealous care. Let them remain uncon- taminated by the horrible influences now being spread by the sensual hypo- crites and soulless charac- ters, As yet Congress has taken but little interest in the matter, for seme reason best known to the members thereof, and as a consequence it remains for the people at lurge to throttle the evil in the best manner possible and rid the country of the curse which their representatives in Congress havo failed to recogn'ze, The immense lobby of Mormon e.ders have signified their in- tentioa to be in Washington this winter for the purpose of defea.ing the bills in- troduced for the regulation of polygamy. A yreat deal of money will bo pent and if there is not a popular uprising against the obnoxious teachings and practices of the Mormons, Congress will, 210 doubt, refuse to recognize its evil and nothing will be done to eradicate it, 1n view of this tho natiounal league for the suppression of polygamy, of Cleveland, urgeutly requost that petitiond he civeu latet in every city, town and school dis- trict of the United States asking the congress eubmit to the legislatures of the various etates an amendment to the constitution prohabiting polygamy. This step, if aocomplished, will prevent the iustitution from being recogniz:d in any present States or in the Torritories ll!v\l become States hereafter. 1t hoped the public will bo intereated in the matter, and sce that Congress 1s deluged with petitions during the coming session. If there is a general domand from all parts of the country for tho abolition ot polygamy, Congress will ocrtainly be .compelled” to heed the demand, and the only way to make such o demand is by means of extensively signed potitions, —— Ohlcago Fat Stock 8how, Onicaco, November 14.- The sixth annual fat stock show formally opened to-night with addresses by Mayor Har- risonand Governor Hamilton.

CAPITAL NOTES, LIEUT, GARLINOTON'S ORDERS Wasnizaron, November 14.—General Hazen was on the stand to-day and gave testimony relative to the erders given Lieut. Garlington, of the Giroeley relief expedition. Ho said that the suppli- mental memorandum formed the forepart of Garlington’s instructions. Garlington showed me, said witness, ‘‘all his orders, and I told him he must be controlled by the regular orders he had given him and by directions of Greeley, on which they were founded. Greeley's letter was law to me and I didn’t feel authorized to give any orders that would conflict with it.’”™ Lieutenant Garlington testified, that he never saw the instructions given to Captain Wildes of the Yantic until his return to St. Johns. His own instruc- tions ordered himnot to stop at Littlo- ton Island on the way up, and he obeyed them. His party went south in boats, hoping to meet the Yantic and find some way of returning to help Greeley. PENSION SHARKS DISBARRED. ‘WasuiNaroN, November 14.—Wm. H.

DLCKING THE LANDING. WasminaroN, November 14,—Secre- tary Folger has written the collector at San Francisco stating that if there is anv reason to suspect fraud or 1mporition in landing Chincse he must make a rigid in- vestigation, and refuse permission to sulengnrn to land until satisfactory evi- ence is produced, and parties feeling agrieved because of such refusal can have the correctness of the action of the cus- tom sofficers decided in court by writ of habeas corpus. e 'Our Territory,” Chicago Tribune. 'ublic opinion was somewhat startled last year when the Omaha road in its war with the Northwestern claimed the right to prevent the tuilding of another line into its district. No other corporation, said the managers of the Omaha, nust come into ‘‘our territory.” This proprie- tary phrase struck out in the heat of a m‘:{mnd war caught the public ear, and much indignation was poured out on the heads of the transportation magnates who ventured to speak if M? had baronial powers of pdroeling out among them- selves the territory of this free and inde- pendent nation, The fact and the phrase lcoma up again with redoubled force in the settlement just made by the trans- continental rom.‘s of their dispute about the business between the Atlanticand the Pacific. What to do with the Northern Pacific became as soon ag it was finished a very troublesome question forthe railroad men who had come by years of use to look upon the Pacific coast as ‘‘our territory.” Aq:noat simultaneously with the comple- tion of the Northern Pacific a high and mighty conference of railroad dignitaries met in San Francisco to fix on the terms on which the new company was to do business. How difticult the adjustment was is sufficiently proved by the prolon- gation of the negotiationuntil its success- ful close last week. Of course ono fundamental principle was tacitly accept- ed from the start by all these worthy gentlemen. That was that there must not beany competition between the roads. Jompetition is a very beautiful thing in treatises on supply and demand, but competition between railroads in the real world of transportation is no more to be tolerated than snakes in Ire- land. As long as this agreement is main- tained competition will be absolutely ex- tinct in the rail communication across the continent, Merchants must compete with each other; manufacturers undersell each other and struggle for trade; farm- ers have to meet the competition of the world in the marketing of vheir preducts. But the railroads are a royal class, free from the allegiance to the plebian laws of trade that govern the business world n other departments, Considering that they hold public franchises, and in this case were built, with gifts of public lands and mone{l, and that they control the only land h&.. ways open for travel, their claim they are not subject to the jurisdiction of the commercial laws of competition is decidedly interesting to those who must use them. Public opinion is not likely to require a long time to make up its mind that if the extortions of these cor- porations cannot be controlled in any othor way they must be regulated by the ower of the National Government. 'here is vne power more sovereign over *‘our territory” than the railroad pools, and that is the power resident at Wash- ington, OIS SARSAPARILLA 18 a carefully prepared extriet of the best remedies of tue vegeluilo Kingdom known to medical sch ence 68 Alleratives, Blood Purifiers, Diuretics and ‘Fonics, such as Barsapartila, Yellow Dock, Stillingia, Dandelion, Juniper Borries, Mandruke, Wild Cherry Bark and other sclected roats, barks and berbs, A mediolue, like anything else, can be fally judged only by Itg resulis.
