LONDON , November 18. The
Troathor haa cleared , ns it is hold that
it always docs for the quopn , and by
ono o'clock n largo proportion of Lon
don's five milllouH had poured into St.
James park and filled every approach
to it. Not ton per cent , of the enor
mous multitude saw the pageant ,
which was one of extraordinary bril
liancy. The royal family was out in
full force. Her majesty was very
plainly dressed , look very well and
was guarded from view of her faithful
subjccta by innumerable soldiery.
The Prince of Wales waa hardly
moro visible and the immense royal
establishment with all its ap
paratuo , carriages and uphol
sterf presented a very curious
epoctaclo. The event filled London
with excitement it was eminently suc
cessful in its design , which was to lot
the Egyptian horoca into the sunshine
of thu royal presence to stimulate the
national military feeling , and to give
* public glimpse of what it is that il
is paying so much money for. The
Indian officers and men , in their
.grotesque uniforms , came in for ap
plause and looked deeply impressed
and wretchedly cold. The fog which
had cleared off for the qaoon settled
down ever London again as the even
ing came on , and now we are in Gim/
morian darkness.

prohibition upon ordinary traffic , and
the rest of the day was given np to
the review of Egyptian troops by her
majesty , who participated in the day's
demonstration. The troops were in
much more danger from inclemency
of the weather at homo than ever.
They had 'boon in Ei'ypt , most of
them not having heard a gun fired
there ozcopt at a distance. Such
Eublic recaptions as this would have
eon appropriate enough in tho. case of
troops which had gene through the
peninaular viar and won a Waterloo ,
or through the Crimean campaign , and
taken fiovostapool.
siunr.T ABSURD
when tendered to men whc had
merely boon out -for a summer holi
day. Jingoism was never so 'irium-
uraphant , I. might say rampant , as It
was yesterday , and this under the
ausplcoo of the anti-jingo prqnhot ,
G.ndstoao. Iho fooling among many
of the officora , as I hcppon to know ,

demonstration was wholly unworthy
of tbo great .nation , and they wont
homo with the icipreaiion that they

of the day was t/.io huge crowd such
a crowd a < ta only to bo seen In Lon

which the < < ueon was received every

produced great irritation at the Vati

Germany is resolved to minimize her

AN ARGUMENT ON TiRIFl' .

ofiice in a volume of 200 pages , cup
plied with diagrams showing the degree -
groo of influence that the several con'
ditions afflicting the results of tarlU
hcve in the principal countries of the
world. Mr. Hill recommends a ra
tional reduction and abolition of the
daplec system , in cotton gooda , an In
crease of rates In hemp , jute , flax

ps in rates 'iu metals and minerals and
that a duty of two dollars per ton bo'
placed > on icouota aud alight modifi
cations in breadstuff * , provisions and
animals. The existing average rates
on sugars are generally endorsed , but
abolition-of the duplex rates strongly
nrgod. Abolition of silk culture and
reeling duties are also recommended
and the duty on lumber likewise. In
wool and woolen goods a simplifica
tion and consistent revision contem
plating a cliungo front the duplex sys
tem to an advaloren rate is recom
mended A duty of tonper cent on
quinine is advised. To the free list
are added'twouty-fivo articles hereto
fore retod , among which are
spirita of turpentine , sponges ,
crude saltpetre , rosin , asphaltum ,
and nitraio of load. A material change
is recommended in internal revenue
tax , intoh-ing the abolition of the tax
on tnost articles now specified. Ho-
[ erring to the revival of our merchant
mariaa , Mr. Hill says : ' "In our in
dustries at homo as well as our credit
abroad , there is no source of personal
employment and national pride so
; reat as nhjp building sLet. congress

of crude ( material could aCuct the con
ditions of our shipping community. A

ST. PAUL , Minn. , November 19.
A slashing cut in freight and paeaon-
gor rates by the Omaha road was the
sensation of the day. Both compet
ing roads mot the sales of Omaha with
slightly lower ones. The "Albert
Lea route" announced a rate of fifty
cents to Chicago and a reduction on
flour shipments from Minneapolis to
hnU the figures formerly pttvallipg
The most comprehensive and aflccting
cut was made , however , by the Chicago
cage , Milwaukee & St Paul. Ganoral
Manager Merrill arrived in St. Paul
aud at once decided upon n heavy cut
in passenger nnd freight rates srom
St. Paul and Minneapolis to Chicago
and Milwaukee and to and from all
points reached by the companies' lines
in Minnesota , Iowa and Nebraska ,
and to points in Missouri , Colorado
and to San Francisco. 1'ho cut in
freights enables shippers to send wheat
from all points in Central Minnesota
to Minneapolis , to bo manufactured
and reshipped as Hour to Chicago or
Milwaukee for 12i * cents per 100
pounds. Mill stuu to Chicago at 7&
cents ; flour 20 cents per bar

duced to 25 cents each way ; from

stated that ho thought the war would
last longer than was generally antici
pated ; tint ho know of no prospective

A Monopoly Sqncal.

Nnw YORK , November 19. The
Tribnno says : An occasional corre
spondent points out , in a letter from
San Francisco , the completeness of
the deluge which swept ever Oalifor
ma , November 7th. Not a solitary
republican ofliclal head is seen above
the waato of waters. The democrats
who have boon carried into office are
of the worst kind sand lot orators
and low-rate politicians. The only
encouraging feature of the situation is
that those demagogues will bo likely
to work suoh ruin within a year or
two that at the next election they
will go out of office as suddenly as
they wont in. Meanwhile Oalifor-
nians take the situation calmly.
Earthquakes or deluges , political or
otherwise , do not disturb their
serenity.

Groighton's glasses hero dropped ,
thn book was transferred to the

incontly toward the step loading to the

led him to suspect the presence of
others still , and finding that he was
the victim of a surprise , in his good
ntturod manner , threw up his hands ,
BO to spo&k , and exclaimed , "Well ,
coaio in , ull of you. " All of them did
go in , each party being heartily wel
comed as la crossed the threshold
by both Mr. and Mra. Croighton.
The fact that Mrs , Creighton know a
"thing or two" anent the visit , which
she studiously concealed from her hus

interest to the occasion The callers
wore in the main old friends of the
host And hottoss , and not a few of

SALT LAKE CITY , November 1C.
Thn agony Is ever , and Utah ia still
overwhelmingly Mormon. Calno , the
successful candidate , has received 33-
000 and Van Zilo scarcely 5,000 votes.
Everybody appears aurprisnd. It was
thought that the disfranchisomout of
nil polygamists , p.oat nnd present ,
would make the parties nearly cqui ! ,
but the above is the result. When no
particular effort was made , some eight
years ago , when Mr. Baskln ran
against Apostle Cannon ho polled
nearly as many votes on Mr. Yan
Zllo , nnd the question is nowbelnrj-
debated are the non-Mormons actual
ly Decreasing in Utah ? Wo scarcely
think this postib\ > .

numbers of Guiitlloa voted 'or Caiuo ,

and there the majority is only one ,

This election has proven a sad blow
to those who thought that the passage
of the Edmunds law , the dlsfranchiso-
mont of the polygamists , and the ap
pointment of the United States com
mission would alter the complexion of
politics in Utah. The monogamic
Mormons have polled more votce
than before the disfranchiscment
of their plural wtvod co-rollgion-
ists. It was anticipated thai
"young Mormondom" would vote the
"liberal" ticket. Bat they did no
such thing. After all "blood is
thicker than water , " and reasonable
persons are not astonished that those
young men and women , so many of
whom are the children of polygamtste ,
should decline to vote with a party
that declares them bastards and their
mothers harlots. And oven those not
born'in "plural u ? rriago" hav

everybody related or csnuoctod with
everybody else moro or loss remotely ,
that tho-Mormons actually are more
like ono vast family than a religious
sect , and when ono is touched thpue-

and other witnesses become scarce ,
and porplcxingly unobtainable. It ir
the easiest work in the world to got
witnesses against thieves and other in-
fraotors of the law , but when it comoe
to anything relating to marriage ,
everybody is distressingly ignorant.
