THE DECAY OF M0BM0NISM

loss of Property and Power to Collect Tithings Has Given It a Death-Blow. X Look at the Uncompleted Temple and Other Noted Places in Salt Lake Citj How Bishop Cannon Lost Caste Trith' the Teople. Staff Correspondence of the Indianapolis Journal. Salt Lake City. U. T., July 2& "What pity that sucb a beautifal city, with such eplendid possibilities, ahoald be held back from ttie magnificent proportions it "will eomo day assume, simply by the religions and social differences." Such vras tho exclamation of Congressman Barrows, of Michigan, after we had been driven around the environs of the once famous but now extinct Brigbam Young. After spending two days in Salt Lake City with the leading Mormons and gentiles, and seeing every part of the ' city and its vast interests, and talking with the members of the Utah Commission and with Bishop Cannon the latter the head of the Mormon Church I have come to the conclusion that polygamy has received its death-blow, and that the Mormon Church is on its last legs. If the church did not depend npon recruits from Europe, it would make an assignment within two years. About every three months a miaeidnary or elder arrives from Europe -with a small band of benighted individuals, mostly, an extremely ignorant and nnat tractive people, -who have been proselyted and captured for the church. These are distributed around the Territory, and go to fill up the links made vacant by the operation of the Edmunds law. Very few are dxopi-ed here. The tithing system is entirely broken up ly the law. so far as can be seen, although it is supposed that it is carried on to a limited degree under the guise of "voluntary contributions." The federal trovernrnont confiscated the valuable property belonging to the Mormon Church, and occupied by the Deseret News as a tithing office. It 1s an immense square, partly covered by a "building for this publication office and offices for clerks. There is an abundanco of room, where the poor, ignorant people dumped the fourth of everything thej' produced, and which was sold to regular customers, the same as a general merchandising house. Every fourth load of wood, grain or wool, or other products of tho farm or factory was brought here and given over to the church. Some other buildings belonpmg to the church organization and used for business purposes wero confiscated, placed in tho 'Lands ota receiver, and they aro now rented to the church; hut they are not used dor the purposes they were once. Nothing tending to the teachings of the polygamous "branch e of the Mormon faith is permitted. ' Tho federal officers at the outset of the Edmunds law, live years ago. took charge of the great Temple, which toe Mormons began to construct forty years tigo, which has cost $3,000,000, is to cost as much more and be the fine?:.' religions edifice in tho United States, but, it was soon found that it could not be confiscated. It was church property, and although the business concerns of the church could be taken the edifice could not. "When I asked the superintendent of construction when the Temple would be completed he smiled softly, and in his good Mormon regulation way, said: "We do not know. Yon see, sir, the church was cut off from its 'regular and honest' tithings by the Edmunds law, which gave it a backset in money matters. It may be a quarter of a century yet. It is to be ufted. not as a place of worship, bnt as a place for ceremonies, marriage and other rites, ordinations, and so forth, and there is no hurry about it." It is my honest opinion that the Temple -mil never be finished by the Mormon Chnrch organization, for I believe the church will fast decay. It was once as powerful, tyrannical and ambitious, in it3 way. as was Rome under the Cpsars; but it will be remembered that the Koman empire fell. The building of railroads here was the firft black eye to Mormonism. If they could haye been kept out a quarter of a century longer no one knows what trouble. or what loss of life and property would have been necessary to dislodge the Mormons, for they originally intended an organization and entrenchment which would be irmncitle except to the Invisible. .Brigham Young opposed mining, because it would tend to bring in strangers not converted to his practices. He advocated agriculture, that "being for him more productive of both people and tithes. The railroads brought in those who exposed him. . In the Tabernacle, at a concert the other liy. I sat beside George Q. Cannon, who is 73righam Young's successor, and whom I have known very well since he served in the Forty-seventy Congress. He, it will bo remembered, was the very first who was eought for by the federal authorities under the Edmunds law. He was finally placed on trial ou two indictments unlawful cohabitation and polygamy. He was convicted of tho former, the lightest charge. Uefore sentence, however, he escaped, remaining in hiding for many months, and when President Cleveland put upon the federal bench a good Democrat who was not hostile to the cause. Cannon reappeared, paid his bail bond, $25,000, and stood up for sentence. T got seventy days in the penitentiary! Great guns! The sentence given beggars in police courts for stealing a loaf of bread! But Cannon had six or eight wives, so many children he did not know them all, and besides he is rich, and has the millions of the church behind him. He got out of the penitentiary a short time ago, and tells me he dow occupies the pulpit at the Temple and the Assembly as of yore. But Cannon has lost his old caste. It is the doctrine of the church, and when under indictment the council ordained, that 'f or tho good of mankind and the glory of God" he bhould receive his sentence and srve his term. If he bad done that he would have been canonized upon his entry from the penitentiary. But he demonstrated by his actions that he believed that what was good for the goose was not always a relish ior the gander. One intuitively inquires 'after he looks about the city and admires the beautiful aurroundings: 'Do the Mormons have plural wives yet!" I asked General Robertson, one of the new members of the Utah commission, that question; and in answering ho paid: "Oh, yes, a great many of them undoubtedly do; but we cannot easily get hold of them. It is even more difficult than in ascertaining ordinarily who of the respectable married men in the Eastern cities keep mistresses. Every now and then a young woman, living at homo with her parents, all Mormons, gives birth to a child. Nothing is said about the parentage. People understand tbat she is the wife of some man. may be a prominent capitalist and weU-kn own citizen, but the fact cannot be disclosed." There is on every hand traces of the onco powerful organization of the church, yet they are scarcely more prominent than thoso of the Commune at Versailles, when Franco was sacked, or of the independent governments at Genoa, Pisa, Milan or Home. But there are evidences of all tbat the church once did that was carnal. I have visited

tlie creax ana niswncni store, tne z. U. 31. 3. (Zion's Co-operative Mercantile Institution), and with its SirA0G0 capital, now rnn.

trolled by gentilesandMorraonsalike, it does its old-timo business, managing to declaro a 10 per cent, dividend and carry a handsome smn to the surplus every year. It ells everything from a threshing-machine down through drugs, dry goods, boots and shoes, hardware and the sundries. Then there is tho vegetable and meat-market, run and established by Mormons. It docs a land-office business, also. The Mormons and gentiles have not yet reached the point where they do not prefer to discriminate in tho purchase of their goods, but many buy where they can do the best with their money, and gradually and surely the lines are being obliterated. The Mormons and gentiles joined in entertaining and doing honor to Congressman Dorsey s congressional party whilo we have been here, and so far as external appearances are concerned ou could not distinguish between the too classes. " hue the yell of the ox-driver pulling the immense marble blocks for tho Texnplo are heard, the music from the woiulerlul organ in the Temple is wafting out through the city, the soft and low tones of the choir in the Ahstmbly nail penetrate the broiling sunlight, the old titbing-houso stands, the tomb of Brigham Young is viewed by every passer-by, and the most immense banking and commercial houses 4

founded by the Mormons bear their original signs and have their original customers, Mormonism has lost its grip. The only thing needed to cut the incubus off the body-politic cleanly is a legislative commission, created by Congress, with power to make laws to tit emergencies, so as to meet the evil as it exists, and to enforce them. The Utah Commission, with its restricted powers, is but a sinecure. To pull (the evil out by the roots, a pair of forceps are necessary. - With Mormonism and its blighting influences out of tho way Salt Lake City will become powerful, and is a splendid field for the real estate speculator. Property is growing rapidly in value, and is retarded by only this one barrier. Next February tho city election will be held. It is believed the liberal (gentile) ticket will be elected, and the people's ticket (Mormon) will be permanently defeated. Then up will go property values. Ogden, forty miles north, went liberal in February ladt, and its boom has been phenomenal. As soon as the gentiles get control of Salt Lake City, Eastern capital will come in and real estate speculation will run riot. And so confident are the gentiles of success in February that many of them, and some Mormons, are quietly buying real estate. The design of Salt Lake City is charming. It is nestled in a broad valley surrounded by high mountains. t Her blocks are 140 rods on every side, without alleys, and the streets are 132 feet from curb to curb, are clean, level and beautiful. There are water-works, street cars, electric and gas lights, and the most valuable buildings. Perry S. Heato. DAILY WEATHER BULLETIN. Ixcal Forecasts.

Natives Are Proud of Their Midsummer Atmosphere, and Sing Its Fralsea. Letter la Plttaburg Chronlcle-TeleKraph. It is a regular sanicarium lor infants. They come tor the air. aud tho natives make their living by providing for them while they absorb tne ozone, and so the residents really live on air. The air (or the aar," as the Marylanders call it) is good for grown people as well as babies. Certainly there is no better anywhere. It is dry and cool, balmy and invigorating. On the hottest days, at noon, when the sun is raising tho mercury to the top of the thermometer, this blessed air is in grateful motion, tempering the neat and making life delightful. After sunset it is a trifle too cool, even iu midsummer. Heavy bed-clothing is necessary, and fires were a comfort to dress by yesterday and this morning. The natives are very proud of their aar," and take a great deal of credit to themselves for keeping an unlimited supply of it on tap. In six miles along the railroad there are the three points of Oakland; Mountain Lake Park and Deer Park, and the denizen .of each thinks his particular "aar" is tho best. Deer Park is the exclnsive and aristocratic resort, where such celebrities as tho President, Mrs. Harrison and Baby McKeo inhale the aar." It is so named to distinguish it from Mountain Lake Park, which comes cheaper, though yon would never infer that to be the reason from the way they spell "Deer." But if you want a doctor or medicine in a hurry Oakland is the place to be at, for here is where the physicians dwell and where the druggist holds forth. At Mountain Lako Park the other day I asked a cottager where the drug store was. "There is no drug store here,'' was the reply, but you'll find no finer aar in tho United States.-' Still, ode cannot live on air alone, be it never so pure. People must do something else besides breathe, and sometimes one even wants medicine, and when he wants medicine, he wants it badly, like the Texan and hisrevolver. "Why do you always carry that murderous weapon!" asked a home missionary of a citizen of the Lone Star State; "you don't often have to use it1 "Naw, that's so," replied the Texan; "a man might travel over this kentry ten year and not have no call to use a gun, but sometimes be mought want it, and then, stranger, he'd want it all-fired bad." It is very hard to disabuse the mind of the Mary lander of Garrett county of the idea that aar" will not take the place of anything and everything elso. 'Oh, that we could turn on the natural gas these cool mornings and evenings, as we could at Pittsburg?' sighed a gas citizen. "We have no natural gas, that's a fact," apologized a mountaineer, "but then our aar-" 'I wanted to mail a letter one night when I first came here. The mail train leaves at 9:45 o'clock, so 1 thought a letter left at the postofiice by 8 o'clock -would surely be in time. A few minutes before 8 o'clock I went to the little building where Uncle Samuel's employes attend to his mail, aud it was closed. Inquiry elicited tho fact that the custom here is to make up the mail at 7 o'clock, tako it to the station and shut np the shop. "Your postal facilities are hardly as perfect as they might be," I remarked to tho druggist, whose stock I have been depleting during the list two weeks. "No." he replied. 'our postal facilities might be improved, but there are no llies on our aar.' Discouraging to Story-Writers. New York Graphic I caught a glimpse in one of the big iron safes belonging to a weekly story-paper, the other dav, and found its roomy compartments filled to overtlowing with manuscripts of all shades, colors and sizes. The most of them were yellow with age, and I was assured by mv friend, the proprietor, that not a few of the stories had lain within the iron walls of the fire-proof receptacle for over thirty years. Everything represented so much cash invested, from the three-verse poem of nnreiected love to the thirty-column serial of blood and thunder. It is not likely that many of the old manuscripts will ever be used, as they are very much out of date as regards style and plot. There were hundreds of stories which tell "how they lived happily ever afterward." and as far as Indian romances are concerned, there was a quarter section of the safe devoted to the subject. I'll wager there is many a good little gem stored jiwav there. arm it will be many years perhaps another generation before the poems and romances

are put in type. I find that the majority of weekly story papers that have been established any very great length of time always carry more or less of a stock of manuscript on hand, and there are at least half a dozen of these papers in New York who could publish week in and week out for years to come without even so much as thinking of looking for new material. NOVELTIES IN JEWELRY AND POTTERY. Jewelers' Circular for August. Numbered among novelties are studs and ear-rings of silver, finished , to simulate black pearls. Cut glass is much used as presents for weddings. The consequence is, one finds ico-cream sets, berry dishes and the like, in elegant cases after the fashion of cased silver. The insatiate demand for small presents, in silver has been met with a wondrous variety of patterns in the form of bookmarks and envelope openers, which sell at from SI to 5 apiece. To be in the extreme fashion a chatelaine should be old. but silver ones of modern date, with their ten or twelve pendants, are nevertheless eagerly sought for by thoso who are without the heirlooms. Novelties in cut glass are individual flower globes, which, as the name suggests.'are employed for placing before the plate of each guest Butter tubs for holding little fancy pats of butter are also new. What is known to the trade as "art porcelain" ought to be in the 6how cases of all first-class jewelers. This resembles the finest of carved ivory and comes in form of historic and classic heads, statuettes, busts, vases, etc. For half-mourning toilettes, ladies wear a varietv of iewelry, including hairpins in all-white cr lavender enamel; grey pearls, mounted so as to conceal the gold setting, and dull finished, and heavily oxydized silver ornaments. "Baby 6ilver," almost without exception, isdecorated with designs especially adapted to little people. Ou many of the pieces are reproduced nursery rhymea ana Mother Goose melodies in illustrations beautifully etched or engraved. . The fashion is ever increasing for silver bowls of one kind or another. Bowls of medium size are wonderfully convenient articles, and are employed for a variety of uses regardless of the original design, as for punch, cracked ice, flowers, etc. In place of tali celery glasses, formerly in fashion, are provided a variety of horizontal 6hapes on which the celery 6talks arc laid. Similar shapes aro also furnished for asparagus, while tiny little dishes with folding sides, are provided for after-dinner cotiee spoons. Numbered with what mav be termed popular wares, in which small articles may be found that will sell at from $1 to $5 each, are English-Hungarian ware, Staffordshire pottery, imperial crown, Leeds ware, Moorish faience, Jionn ware, Shcppard ware, Soudanese are. The present craze for veritable antiques in jewelry has been accentuated recently by the statement that the archbishop piaced on Miss Elizabeth Drexel's ringer, on the occasion of her marriage, the ring Eiven by Martin Luther to solemnize his etrothal to Catharine Von Bora. Uniquo birthday collections are gained in a few years, in many families, by the custom now prevalent of presenting eacb child, on its birthday, with an odd pioco or two of silver. Spoons, large and small, and designed for n great variety of uses, are included in these gifts. It need hardly be added that this collection usually begins with the apostle spoons, presented at the christening by tho godparents. A unique ware that promises to become very popular, is introduced by the name "Soudanese." It is a species of Bohemian class, being made in Bohemia. The shapes incline to bottles ami jugs patterned after the Japanese gourd bottles. In these, two kinds of glass are intermingled, one representing in color and form a broken gourd, the other of some harmonious but contrasting color, filling out and completing tho piece. There is a new fad now among society women for collecting coffee and desert spoons to ficureat lnncheons and 5 o'clock teas." In these collections duplicates are avoided aud each spoon is asouvenir. Tha spoons especially prized represent the collection of a traveler who has vipited many countries and many climes. In this case each spoon is etched or engraved with the name of the town and the date of the collector's visit there. Faith and Free Lore. Philadelphia Record. One of the peculiar institutions of Ocean Grove, N. J nas been tlie "faith cottage" of Miss Mary K. Mosmor, where boarders were accommodated for a week only, aud were told on leaving to pay whatever tho Lord prompted. Tha cottage has long been objectionable to the association because of its midday prayer-meetings, which it tin ally prohibited altogether. Yesterday the association ordered that the cottage should be closed because it considered that the "faith" tendencies of its boarders had degenerated into free-love practices, Tho cottatre has been successful in its way. and Miss Mosmer always paid her bills promptly. Some of her guests rewarded her with heart-felt blessings, others paid a fair price for tho accommodations, while a few wealthy and conscientious ones gave bountifully of their riches. On the whole she made a fair living. The practices of her guests were peculiar. They prayed at all times and in all places, and their conduct at last became so notorious as to draw down the condemnation of tho association The School-Teachers Vacation. Boston Transcript. Now the school teachers disport themselves in the country aud gather strength for the work before them and improve their minds. The brooks may gurgle, the wee birds may sing, the skies may take on the bloom of evening cloudlets, the hornpout may leap in the pond or be served up on the table as brook trout, but the school teachers heed them not. Far rather had they gather into seats at the Thompsontown camp-grounds and listen to Professor Chalktalk lecture on "The Evolution of the Mollnsk," or some literary chap give them his ideas on the importance of single taxation. It is remarkable that the literary man, worth no property, can hold an audience made up of men getting $40 a month, spell-bound for hours, when he demonstrates the advantage of the single-tax theory. The Intelligent Tourist. Boston Commercial Bulletin. "Say, look here, yer know," said the newly arrived Briton, who had summoned the bell-boy to his room in the hotel. "What does this blarste d notice meant" "Them's the rules o' the house," replied tho boy, looking at the printed card pointed out, which was tacked up on the inside of the door. "Rules o tho 'ouse," said the irate islauder, who was stripped to the waist and held a half-emptied water pitcher over the basin, "rules o' the 'ouse Positively no washing allowed in the house. Whv, 'ow's a man to keen clean in this blarsted country, and whadier have water and towels in the room for it yer don't hallow washiu' for hornamentP A Little Mixed. Philadelphia Inquirer. As Scraggs went home yesterday his friends all noticed that there was something wroug. His wife, an unsophisticated young woman, who doesn't know the odor of brandy from that of onions, met him at the door. "'Scuse me m-madam." he said with a profound bow. "D-does M-M-Mr. S-S-ticr.iggslive here?" "He does" was the astonished reply. "T-Then," blurted out the tired nedestraiu, "p-please put him t-t-to b-bed." A Poser for Free-Traders. Kearney Enterprise (Free-Trader.) Great 6ums of English money are still coming from that land of blessed free-trade to engage in the over-protected industries of tho United States. Why capital should desire to leave a land where the laws of trado are so near perfection, and come to a country that persists in maintaining a tariff upon goods of foreign manufacturers not easy to say. A Brief Axiom. Trey Times. There is a gTeat deal more jaw-bone than back-bone in this world.

Nearly everybody needs a good medicine at this season to purify the blood and build up the system. Hood s Sarsaparilla is the most popular and successful spring medicine and blood purifier. It cures scrofula, all humors, dyspepsia, sick headache, that tired feeling.
