If the colonels of the administration toward the olEc3 seekers cDupIed with this weither does not s alike in frigidity perhaps they might take a small iceberg into their trousers. The warlike tenor of foreign advicn has had a tendency to stiffen prices of grain and meats. Chicago packing hocses have received ordexe for immense quantitiei of canned meats. It is well eaid that yon will nearly always find that the locialist who desires to wash hLi bndi in the blood of the monopolist doesn't usually desire to wash his hands in tcap and water.

PNEUMONIA AND THt! RINKS. Now York is alarmed at the prevalence of pneumonia. In Ftbrnary this disease carried oil 57.". victims, and in January 31. Laet week its victims numbered in. Dr. John T. Nagle, registrar of vital statistic! in the Health Department of New York, was asked whether rollr tkatin -arai responsible lor the recent great increase in the number of lf aths from pneumonia. He said those who have visited the skating rinks have obeerved how careless the joucg people are of the weather. They dash about for hours in the heated rooms, and when the time cornea to go home they find the cool a'.r rather refreshing than otherwise. They rind the cars crowded, perhaps, and walk thrown tha chilly streets while yet perspiring from their violent exercise. All this tendi to pneumonia. A little roller tskatini; or dancing might be healthful, but it ehonlil hi under proper precautionary conditions. The exercise ebonld not be too protracted cr violent. The dress fchould be appropiate, and the charges of dress should conform to the change of temperance. A jonn. lady whoshculd go oat into the cpen air with her ball dress after vigorous dancing, would ba considered very indiscreet. Yet the change fa quite as marked when youcg girls skt for hours In street costume?, and then out overheated without change. Another eminent phjsiciAn said: "Roller skaters arc so absorbed in pleas' are that they forget all about their health. Many contract colds in that way that carry them to the grave. The craze has without doubt increased the number of victims of pneumonia. Not a few aggravated cases that have come under my observation are traceable to indiscretion of this sort" A third physician said: "Ksch rink ought to have a drying room for women and children at least. Women go racing around a hall for henrs, until they can go no longer. They are all in a respiration, but without waiting until they are ccoled off, they go out into the chilly air end catch cold. There ought to'.be large, comfortable drfssing-room?, well heated, where they could reet without btiDg ccoled too suddenly in the open air or cars. AN AMERICAN PUMP FOR EGYPT. The English War Office recently purchased an American pump, or rather a special pumping engine, crnon it army supplies for use in the Soudan. Englishmen have quite as much pride in their productions as we Arcerieans have in ours, and of course Here was a general expression of dissent at the action indicated in the foregoing. A London firm, iu a recent letter to an English paper, give an idea of the feeling in regard to the matter. This firm says: "The public is painfully aware that at the present time many thousands of our artisans are in a state of enforced idleness and their families starving. Iron works, collieries, engineering and other similar industrial establishments throughout the country are, for the most part, only partially employed, and In too many instances ara en terely stopped, while employers of labor find themseivessubject todiminishodincome3,and with the burden of Increased and an increasing taxation to bear. In the face of all this, and considering the notable fact that cur ports are open to the free importation of machinery from the United States, while English machinery exported to that country is subject there to a heavy prohibitive duty, we would venture U ak, is it fair to English machinists, much less, is it a patriotio act for the English Government to give an order to a loreign country for machinery required for the use of the British Army? ' There is one significant point about this letter of interest to us, and that is that there are so many people in England oat of employment tome to the extent of their families starving for the want of it. A war between England and Russia, although a sad remedy, would change all this, and we do not advocate it, but simply call attention to it in passing. In regard to the pumping engine, however, that was purchased in this country, we understand that a member of the firm who has the contract to put do vn the pips-line is an American engineer, who has had unusual experience in constructing oilpipe lines, and as t time was the element in this work, he very properly expressed a preference for pumps made by a firm to whom this branch! of manufacture is no novelty; at any rate, he wanted pumps that he knew all about, as this was no time to chance delays or make experiments. This pipe line and the pumping engines required were probably wanted in a great hurry, and the American firm were prepared to furnish them promptly, and hence toe order was placed on this side of the water. And the point also is male that however much business may be langult hing in England, English manufacturers should bear in mind that their soldiers are also suffering in a horrible climate, and that the re lie! of an army is the point at issue. Tha policy of free trade or protection for home production should not be a consideration in the solution of this problem, ft is a question of humanity, and suffering at that, and the quicker relieved the better. A HEAVY BLOW AT POLYGAMY. The recent Snpreme Court decision on the Mormon question, it strikes us, is pretty sound law and is the worst blow yet struck against Mormonism: Give a people the franchise and no laws are effective, nor can be made effective, against them. Allow polygamists to continue to vote in Utah and, as a matter of course, polygamy will continue to prevaiL In this case the Mormons insisted that the commissioners had no right to prevent registration of Mormon voters on the ground of polygamous practices. Mr. Justice Matthews takes the position that, while Congress can not interfere with the personal rights of the people of the Territory, their political rights are another thing and subject, so long as Utah is a territory, to grants at will by Congress, under whose absolute jurisdiction they are. Therefore Congress can limit the right of suffrage and condition its exeiclse as it sees fit. Therefore polygamists and bigamists can be denied the right of registration or Tot ing at the will of Congress. But Congress has declared through this commksicn that bigamists, etc., shall not register as voters. Consequently the enactment of the terri torial laws is giren ovtr into tha Keeping cf iia mencmicts, and tha twia rsliscup

porters must take a back feit. As before stated this decision is about tbe heaviest blow at Mormonism that it has yet received, ard its force will be unquestionably felt in Utah. In the matter of religion, polygamy being one of the tenets of the creed and its defense beiDg placed on that ground, we have never, under the Constitution, felt so afc-clnttly certain that the evil could be eopprtsetd. But wnen they teems Ires p!a:e their deferte on a purely political ground, the extent of the authority of the general government of the Territories, they desert their etrcrghold and pin their faith to a broken rtid. Under such circumstances, but a few yfajs will be required to root oai the polygamous practiceä of the Territory. The new administration could do no act that would be received with greater favor by the great body of the people tbaa tha effestusl suppression of polygamy. "We earnestly hope and believe that President Cleveland's administration will do itf elf the honor to see to it that this blot upou onr Christian civilization is effectually sponged out of existence.

THE EUROPEAN WAR CLOUD. Eneland and Ruasia, tvo great powers, seem about to lock horns, and will a u less it is a iquaie ta:k down on the part of Great lirilain, or P.af3iagive3 assurances, clinched by proper action, cf her intentions ia Asia. Fcr years rast Russia has slowly but surely been making advances and getting a foothold in Afghanistan. Bach has been her policy, steadily pursued, for a long time, until gradually the armies cf the Czirhave approeched the northern frontier of India. One the neutral ground of Afghanistan is crct&ed by Russian troops and the gloye will have been laid down for a contest, the end of which can not be foreseen. War will surely involve three continents and be waged with a fury unknown in the Eastern hemisphere since the days of Napoleon Bonaparte, and with a destruction of life fearful to contemplate in this age, when the implements and munitions of war have 8lmcst reached perfection in death dealing power. Fcr twenty years Russia has been engaged in spreading her control over Central Asia, gradually adding one after another of the previously independent provinces, with their princes and sovereigns, to her empire, which has grown in extent of territory until the area is vast indeed. The conquered people have been subjugated in the most complete manner, they having adopted the manners, customs end religion of the Russians. Sho has built railroads across her vast douaine, placed tleets of iron steamers upoa the great inlaLil seas, and can now send an army in a week's time from Odessa, a great eouthern feaport. to the interior of Asia. She has organized the natives into well-disciplined, well.diilled trcops, whose loyalty and efficiency have bsen the better secured by the promise of Rus3ia that they shall share in the rich and abundant spoils which tbey have been Jed to believe were to be gained by the cocquestof India, while her army of a million men far outnumbers any foice that Ergland can muster. Rnseia's whole policy pursued for years shows a well-matured plan of conquest including India in its ultimate result, which she has intended to accomplish in her own way and in her own time. While Russia has mccetsluliy aimed to lecure the friendship cf her conquered provinces, which ehe fcai so rapidly absorbed within her boundaries, England has been losing her hold upon India with its L'50,000,000 of inhabitants by a contrary course, bo has few friends or strong supporters. Great Britain has given the people of India her etrong protection, has established law and order and sought to introduce a higher civilization ; but abe has never cultivated the people of India, nor of any country who paid tribute to her, In that friendly wsy placing them upon an equal footing w'.th her own citizens -that Russ'a has done. While the latter hai made etrong allies of her subjugated provinces in Asia, England has almost antagonized the people cf India, who will not come to her support willingly nor effectively. Great Britain, however, has prestige, vast wealth, immense influence at home, and will maintain her prowess with a de?ree of courage and stubbornness that will meet any enemy without fear and with a power wellknown to all the world.

LAX ACQUITTED. Tha C&arffe Against Blm Absolutely Without Foundation. Tho preliminary trial of fcuporintendant Lang before 'Squire Ensericb, of Wayne Township, cameap yesterday afternoon. Messrs. Harding, Ticcher, G. M. Wright and ('. 8. Denny appeared for the Superintendent, and 'squire Smock and Onicers Campbell, Quigley and Low an Tillie Crawford went as witnesses. . Constables Blake and Reinhold ani II. J. Everett were also present, the latter as attorn ay for the Constables. Mr. Everett states that be f3it he bad aone .Superintendent Lang a great injury. He said that the girl, Nelfie Craw, lord, had sworn to the statements in the afiHivit upon tbe Information given by him; that he had read the aaswer filed to the mandamus proceedings instituted by Peinhold, and tnat he hid beea under tbe impression that it stated the In mates oi the Ballard bagnio had been required to give bond. At least, he said, he obtained the impression '.tat this was the auswer from the publication of the matter in the Journal. Tillie Crawford testified that Reinhold arrested her; tbat he would not let her have tiuietogeta lawyer; that he Insisted upon her going out to Emerlch's, and she refuse to walk out; that the employe I a hack, in which they all role oat, and for which she had to pay: that she wautcd to gel Tincher. Deputy Proseeutor in Felblemau's Court, to go with her and de. end her; that Reinhold said he did not want Tincher there, and that if she got him he (IWnhold) would send her to the penitentiary lor life: that on the way out the "oScen and Everett told her she bad better plead guilty: that after she did so '.iuire Emerich told her sue would have to leave the town. The 'Coulre at this point Iut?rrupted her aud said tbat her state-meet was false. The Crawford girl turned aad said, "it it tot Ulse." She also tnid all of tham Constables, attorney and 'diuire said the waid hav to leave tho city. The affidavit against Lang was Dot real to her. Everett asked her If sbe bad given bond in the Mayor's Court, and sbe repUi that she had not, when he aked her if she wyuhi aigu a statement to thate'.tect, übe agreed to this, and cid so. I hat was all there ran of it. The conclusion of the matter was the dismissal of the cae and a notification by Prosecutor Harding to the Justice that he should be informed as to any further cases which might come up for tiial under the criminal statutes in the future in the court. The charge asainst the Superintendent was certainly a very serious one and from the evidence given yesterday, appears to have restzd oa no foundation whatever. There are ample reasons wL all the mat tors connected with the case?, the arrest of the Crawford girl aa well as the procurement of the a rid av it against Lang, should be thoroughly investigated by the Grand Jury, and we mistake tho temper ot the Superintendent if ho atops till the whole aiiair Is thoroughly sifted. A Chat With Rhea. Mile. Rhea closed her third engagement in this city last night. She first opened before an lullanapol;8 audience in the early spring of lSSi She was French, the accents of that tongue so beautiful when correct English is apoken seemed to control her every utterance, and the natural grace characteri sing her stage pretence was of a character that h.nted at a secret escape from a boarding-school for girls. She came iu a measure unheralded, burdened with the difficulty attending an artist of foreign birth and training, yet despite those embarrassments that would have appalled a lets gifted actress, she achieved a triumph not absolutely capturing the masses bnt by revealing to an appreciative class a wonderful wealth of the largest natural talents. Her other resources not only seemed to Rto.ie for a pronunciation unaccustomed to our language, but softeaed and warmed to the actress the hearty sympathy of those tilted to detect genius. 8uch a reader as Rhea, Longfellow might have request 2d: Road from the treasured volume The poem of thy choice. And lend to the rhyme ot the coet u na music oi thy voice. i "And the night ehall be filled with muüc, j And the cares that infest the day fcball fold their tents like the Atab I And aa silently steal away." i The Sentinel reporter who converged with this ( la4y on the occasion of her .'rt visit and ' chronicled the obscrvarions of ux Intelligent 1 renoh woman upon the grandeur of t nit country aud the peculiar habits of the people, agin coaversr d with her yesterday. He j accentuation i has heroine far more Ent lüh and she has learned j to regard this country with the curiosity and as- , tonishment that it quickeua in a newly landed I pilgrim. ! "rVa bave been favored by much larger bouses In Indianapolis than 1 anticipated," she answered. "Theatrical people do not regard this as a cood city In a profitable point. That la tbe universal report, but tbe reaon 1 find Impossible to obtain. When last here I secured a carriage and carefully traced your magni Scent streets 1 he palatial residences on either hand houses In which opulent royaty might abide tilled me with rapture, and 1 wondered is It possible toat these people bave uo love for art. It Indianapolis falls to rep.on twith cheerfulness to the drama a good and suHicient reason I not visible on the exterior." She talked of theatrical reportin?, and said that sbe frequently abs'alned frora reading the cJleged critisma for the reason that they irritated fcer, not because of the ill-temper act Ignorance ot the writer regarding art ranJtters. "I have several times been accused." she continued, "of imitating Clara Morris, whom I have never met." She Is certainly a most agreeable persoa to cill upon. The Ineane Hoe-pltal Commissioners. The Board of Commissioners cl the new Insane Hospitals held anotjer meeting yes terday ia tbe c5tee of the Governor and adopted beating aparatus to be used in tha new bnildings. 3!r. Frank: Blacklege, the efficient Secretary, tendered bi3 resignation in a letter setting ont his recjons, and the board passed resolutions conimending him for his efficieasy acd nainsUking care as a member of tbe same.
