THK Australians do not take kindly to John I.. Sullivan. They say ho is an all around fraud, a bum and no actor. The press of thU country made these facts known long ago, but probably the American papers are not read in Australia.

Ax effort Is again being made to have the pension bureau transferred to the war department, and the matter will be pushed when congress meets. It is urged in favor of the change that it would give a permanent eommisioner, which is a strong argument in view of the fact that the country has had three in as many years, with some show of keeping up the average. It certainly looks as though the pension business should go through the war department.
GENERAL BPTLEB is keeping up his reputation of making it lively for people. Just now he is having an interesting time with a Boston publishing firm who claim a contract with the general to publish his book that he has violated his contract by giving the work to another firm, therefore ihey ask an injunction. Of course this will give the book a large amount of free advertising, and will bring the general prominently before the public again, for a time, at least.
A long story was telegraphed from England this week telling how the Emperor of Germany proposed to his grandmother, the Empress of India, to declare war against France, and how the old iady prevented it by having Russia make a treaty with the threatened nation. The story reads very well, but it is wanting in the essential of truth. The story is very improbable from beginning to end, and then who ever heard of the Queen of England making a mouthpiece of a newspaper reporter?
AFTER an exciting chase of four days, covering 200 miles, the revenue officers in Wost Virginia succeeded in capturing a female moonshiner. She is only twenty-four years old, is described as an Amazon in strength and courage, and for two vcirs has peddled whisk}'among thousands of railroad workmen. Now that she Is iu the hands of the government she will have plenty of time to reflect on the error of her ways, and by the time she is released her experience will have taught her that moonshining is an unprofitable business, arid fraught with many dangers.
THE Philadelphia Times call attention to the danger in which the people of that town are placed by allowing Texas steers the freedom of the streets. It has been well known for years that the Texas ranchmon were in the hublt of grazing thoir cattle in Indian Territory, Kansas, Colorado and Now Mexico, but this is the first timo it has been made public that the animals have been taken as far east as Philadelphia. It must bo a strange sensation in the Quaker Cit}* lo see the gay and festive cowboy throwing the lasso as he goes tearing through the wide streets on his semi-annual round

UTA li\S IMPEDIMENT. The Utah commission has filed two reports for the year ending August 31, 18!»l, with the secretary of the interior. One is a majority report, and the other presents the views of the minority. Eaeh bears on the quostlou of statehood and represents the political views of those, making it.
The majority report says: "In view the fact that the Mormon church has invariably in the past, dictated the politial movement of its adherents, and presented a united front against any and evhry party which came In contact with it, those who doubt its sincerity may well bo excused for doubting. "That the church has, through the people's party, strenuously opposed every effort made, whether by laws of Congress, the action of the courts, or of the Utah commission, to put down polygamy. It as denounced the com mission through all the years that it had i»een administering the laws directly against polygamy, and kept a united force constantly standing and ready to oppose every effort to compel its submission to the laws of the land. "When disfranchisement stared the church in the face, when the city and county of Salt Lake, the city of Ogden, and county of Weber, and Park City, had been wrested from its control, and i'!her places were showing signs of becoming anti-Mormon, then, and not till then, did this change come."
The commissioner hopes that it is the beginning of a better era. The commission js glad, says the report, to record the steps already taken on the road to a better civilisation will aid with all its power in forwarding the good work, but can not recommend the withdrawal at this time of any portion of the safeguards thrown around this people bv the lawmaking power of the government, and it is most cmphatle in expressing its opinion that it would not at this time be safe to entrust lo them the responsibilities and duties of statehood as they so much desire.
The minority report, which is signed by Gen. John A. MeClernand, takes a different view of the case, and feels justified in making the assertion that polygamous marriages in ¥tah have decreased to a point of virtual cessation, and that it would be neither just nor politic to extend by law the range of existing civil disabilities indiscriminately to all Mormons. ...Those who have lived among the Mormons, and who are at all acquainted with their ways, know that the majority report Is eoirpet. The older members of the Mormon faith arejnataa ranch given to polygamy and treason as U»«y hat* ever he*n. Of eoern* they deny It* profem great love for the government and practice proselyting whenever the opportunity pnmeata itaelf. In talk they
FJSRRE HAUTE SATURDAY [EVENING MAIB
are all right, but when it comes to practice they are Mormons all over in the broadest s?nse of the term. In politics their entire strength is always given where it will do them the most good Mormons and regardless of all other conditions. Those of them who antipolygamous are so rather througu fear of the strong arm of the law than through fear of the Lord, and that is the way keep them. The enforcement of the law has held them in check, and driven many from Utah, but give them state hood* and the forces will concentrate again, and soon they would control everything and make the laws to suit themselves. This is true, and those who have had any experience

the Mormons know it to be true.

Big C'owda.
There is a big crowd in town to-day, and there was a big crowd yesterday at A. H. Boegeman's. Those who passed his Shoe store on south Fourth street, noticed the lively gait at which the corps of clerks moved. It was a rush. Mr. Boegeman ban just tho goods for ladies, misses and children, and not only extra foot-wear but popular prices. His late goods take the lead in style, material and price. The truth of the matter is Mr. Boegeman knows how to buy lo suit the tastes of everybody, and consequently a stock of goods does not remain very long in his house to become shelf-worn. Just drop in and see for-yourself.
