WHOLESALE DEAL BS IN AKD DOAHD AKD PSINTIR'S 8TOCI j -0ii ftit t R X o ! all A Slrlklngjricturo of Mormon Life. Now York Evening Post The following pioturo Mormondom is from the pen of n gontlomnn'whoso resi. dcnco in the territory of Utah Itrxs given htin'unusunl opportuiutios of obsorv.ilion : For n wliolo generation Una 1ms been ono of the many vexed rmostions before the American people. Ilow shall Mormonism - monism bo managed ? What shall bo done to end the crime nnd scandal which centra in the Great Salt Like basin ? There sure enough is the seat of a hide ous monitor , but how shall n hook bo put into Ills nose , and ho be subdued to good morals and manners ? Nothing is tnoro certain than that before the didiculty can bo solved , its real nature must bo accu rately understood. The terms of the problem must shnpo the course of the so lution. The nation at largo , and oven editors , olnlosmon and clergyman , in other matters well informed , nro hero de plorably ignorant. Too often rumor and gossip with regard to Utnh n flairs have passed for settled facts , while blind pre judice and heated passion have prompted tongues and pens. There is no small ground for the conviction that the action of congress two years since was based upon a misapprohonaion approaching the ludicrous. Uuch facts as the following are patent to every non-Mormon resident of Utah. The growth of Mormonism and its pre sent strength are apt by alarmists to bo much overrated , and some would have it that the nation is M much imperiled by the Latter-Day Saints aa by the hordes of the queued and almond-eyed from over the sea. Last fall the telegraph , multi plying the number by ton , made Mr. Cannon say that 23,400 converts had boon baptized in six months , and so the state ment wont forth everywhere. But the total pf immigration to "Zion" from the old world since 1840 is only some 80,000. For the first decade the annual average was 750 , for the second decade 2,000 , for the third nnd fourth , 2,500 , while for the last five years it haa ranaod from 2,500 to 3,000. At the death of the "Prophet" in 1844 the number of his adherents was estimated nt 150,000 , but so terrible was the scourging that folio wed that loss than 50.000 wore found to make the memor able exodus to Salt Lake. As for the largo majority they had lived and died in the "Babylon" of "Gentile" regions , satis fied with the taste they had had of Mor mon good thinga. And now , after forty years , not more than 100,000 are found in all the rocky mountain territories , including the lukewarm and children ( all of eight and over are members of the church ) . Then thn saving clauao of the system is found in the ease with which its yoke is cast off. Probably 50 per cent , of nil who are baptized apostatize sooner or later. Thus eight of the eleven "wit nesses" fell from grace within ton years , and worp cut off , and also a majority of the original "apostles , " while of some 1)5,000 ) converts gained in Sweden between 1850 and 1882 , 11,000 repudiated the faith before emigration. The mass of the people in Utah are not mbnstcrs , horned and hoofed , but , on the contrary , are honest , industrious , well- meaning , conscientious , and ns virtuous as the same intellectual and social grade of English or Scandinavians in Wisconsin or Minnesota. Belonging by birth to the lower classes , and living upon the rough frontier , they are rude , aa n matter of course , and exhibit much of the animal , but licentiousness , drunkenness and deeds of violence are far from common. Of patriotism , it must bo confessed , there is general and serious lack. And this , in part because born and reared under other ideas nnd institutions , in pan because their coming to this land was far less to become Americana than Mormons , but chiefly because the church -which holds and rules them is essentially and utterly non-American and anti-rapublican. Civil government , whether state or federal , is ignored aa both useless and usurping. The chief end of nr.n in Utah is to stand by the priesthood and obey it in all things. Polygamy ia by no moans univorsol , nnd may fairly bo called exceptional in Utah society. There are more men than women by about 0,000. The com missioners could only find 12,000orl5,000 whom the Edmunds bill disfranchised on account of plural marriage. In some communities the number of polygamista is quite largo , and in others very email. In ono county , out of eight bishops only two have more than one wife. In a town of 1,500 inhabitants but six families arc obedient to the "celestial law , " nnd in another of 800 , but two. Multitudes hold to the theory with great zeal and tonac * ity , but nevertheless in practice arc monogamous , and numbers are in opor opposition both in tongue and deed. A mooting was lately hold In a certain sot' tlomont , at which , on the part of the oldora of Israel , there was great lamentation tion and weeping over the fact that the rising generation of girls was so depraved as to bo determined to have a whole husband or none , and ono. heart-broker septuagenarian possessed of only sovoi : or eight marital partners declared witl : hoavitu ; breast , that if ho should need e young wife in addition , ho know nol where to look for the same. Evidence abounds that this abnormal andobnoxiouE Institution has passed ita hoydoy and it in the sere and yellow loaf. Tbo olimai of the abominable was reached , twenty < five years ago when polygamy was the staple of exhortation and command. Now it is hold to bo onlj for the few , the elite , the chiefs ; is the reward of special virtue , and constitutes the badge ol aristocracy. The maximum of wives , too , grows steadily loss. On'io tou or fiftoo * wore not uncommon , but now throe 01 four are hold aufllciout to enable oca tc rise and reign in the eternal worlds. The female fashions of the timoa make it iin possible to clothe so many , and the apt tied judgment of Christendom makoa it self felt more and more. No doubt , ( though , polygamy will continue to b < preached for years. In epito of thi Edmunds bill the endowment houao wool by week receives such aa desire to bi "sealed for eternity. " And this wil not cease so long as women , all thingi .considered , prefer plural to single mar The Bituationin Utah atoadily improves haa changed vastly for the bettor withii twenty or tou years. The nadir woi reached in 1857 during the dayn of tin dreadful "reformation , " that voritabli rdgn of terror , when the Mountaii Meadows massacre waa committed , whoi "blood atonement" was in vogue BIX apoatatea and other fooa were "used up' ' by the hundred at the command of tin prioathood. But , fortunately , in th nature of thinga auch frenzy as markoi that period waa of abort duration. Al concerned in thoao excesses were appalloi and disgusted. In 1803 the federal arm ; took up permanent quarters at Cam ] 'I Douglas , near Salt Lake City , and activi ty in mininjj operations soon followoi and a lanjo influx of gentiles. In 180 the Pacific railroad waa completed , bring ing Monnoiu'am face to face with th nationand in the name year occurred th "Godbeito movement , " u determined an moat vigoroua strike for free speech , fro thought and public decency in the con duct of church affairs. In 1877 die Brigham Young , whose iron will for thirty yoara had boon undieputcd law , nnd whose rc.tistlos.i grasp hnd been on the iniiuU and hearts of the whole popple to fetter , and crush , and deform. Since then other railroads have been added , nnd minors by thousands throng the mountains , every ono n fearless and out spoken hater of ecclesiastical arrogance nnd impertinent meddling. An untram melled prcas has conquered n largo place. Christian schools and churches nro rapid ly multiplying , so that there nro now to bo found 1)0 ) of the ono , with 17" teachers nnd .15 of the other , with 10 ministora. Person nnd property nro na safe from violence ns in any of the ntntcs or territo ries. Life is tolerable , nt least in many communities , for Gentiles , and oven for apostates from the Mormon church. But the case oven yet is bad enough , and in any other teriitory would bo counted un endurable , /lid the evil and curao centra in the facts which follow. The most characteristic and essential feature of Mormonism , as well ns that in which it is most hostile to ideas most cherished in the nineteenth century , nnd especially in this nation , is found in its dogma of an inspired nnd infallible priest hood , in daily and direct communication with the Most High , uttering his voice and clothed with power nnd authority to rule and fashion in all thinga whatso ever , whether religious , social , business or political. JoHpph Smith founded a kingdom of God , literal , temporal , mate rial no more paltry nffiur of ropontnnco , faith , baptism , mid the like , but including alt civil functions from the greatest to the least , and bo they executive , legisla tive or judicial. All oiliciala , prosidontn , governors , judges , congressmen , and the like , to hold legitimate power must bo chosen by revelation , nnd must bo of the holy priesthood. Vex populi , vex doi ia damnable and heaven-defying horoay. ho people are to have no voice , at least ho law of the kingdom is vex doi , vex opuli , i. , o. , lot God speak ( of course tirough Taylor , Cannon , the twelve , the igh-pricsts , etc. , ) and let the ballot-box inly echo and register the theocratic locroo. Hero is political bossism with a cngoanco. Nor is this merely a dogma or the theologians to argue over and to lumber harmless in rusty books , but it a living and mighty. Under just such a ogimo'iit every Latter-day Saint living o-day , and ia taught to call it perfect 'rocdcm. This is the crucial test of Mor mon orthodoxy. As polygamy was an .fterthought . , an addendum , an oxcrcs- once , BO the law concerning it may by ho priesthood bo repealed , but this ibsorption of the state by the church , ; hls preposterous and unbounded assump- ion pf right to absolute and universal rule is certain to continue to the last. Of course there is no room for political mrtioa , for how can there bo an opposi- ion when heaven directs the ballot ? The Mormon vote always haa boon , and In the nature of the case must always bo , : ast solid. It was for following the hierarchy in this thing that this people chine to such bitter grief in Missouri and Illinois , and their very presence be came intolerable. It was political hate and fear , far more than religious , that cost the prophet originator of this preci ous scheme of monarchy and despotism his lifo. And hence , also , It is that between the church-states sot up in Utah , and institutions counted most sacred and dear by every American , an "irrepressible conflict" exists and must continue until ; ho Mormon prieasthood yield , or else > ur 50,000,000 conclude to adopt the Utah idea. It was Brigham'a famous dictum that ho had full right to meddle and manage in every particular "from the otting up of a stocking to the ribbon" on i woman a bonnet , " and some 8,000 or 10,000 men in and about Salt Lake are Brighama in small , and in this particular follow hard after him.

Votilation seems an cany matter , yet it a in fact ono'of the most difficult prob- pms which those who are engaged in de igning and erecting buildings have to eal. If the external temperature were Iways below that of the house ttsplf the ask would be greatly simplified , but in ummor the external temperature is the ligher , so that an opening arranged to orvo as an outlet becomes an inlet. An jrdinary houao ia principally ventilated > y moans of its doors and windows ; that a to say , it ia by those channels than any ilmngo of air further than that which akcs place through the walls of the houao tsolf ia carried on. It is seldom that ontilation by those ordinary means hits ho moan of comfort. Open doors and windows in midwinter are popularly sup posed to bo productive of other things > oaidos ventilation. Ho who haa sat in , ho draught from an open window and ias immediately afterward suffered rom sere throat will scarcely believe > hat the draught waa not the cause , in the height of summer , on the other hand , open dopra and windows 'ail to put heated air in motion. Thua rarious artificial systems of ventilation lave boon adopted with varying success. Seating and ventilation should be treated aa two diatiuct systems , both of which are necessary ; but the attempt Is often made to make the first accomplish the second or no provision ia made for the second the warm air is sent in , and the 'oul air ia allowed to escape as best it can. The worst of any artificial system of ven tilation in a house is that it ia euro to conflict more or loss with what- may bo called the natural mode of ventilation by doors and windows. The openings pi these ordinary outlets and mlota will : hango the direction of the air currents. The occupants of a house must therefore never expect any scheme of ventilation to run itself without attention on their part.Tho The only theoretically correct aystoix pf ventilation is that which is employee in mines. Hero there ia no vontillation save an artificial ono. The fresh air it forced downward by a fanand is diroctoc along definite channels by bulkheads The current is compelled to take its course through all the workings of the mino.ani finally to pass out through the upcas shaft , Thia syatomtheoretically perfect fails in practicobocauso deleterious cases are often generated in quantities so Targe that the fresh air supplied ia inauilicion to support life , or an explosion occurs. A writer ou ventilation once undertook tc prove that this syatom waa the only cor rect ono to use in a house. Thoairmuatbc forced through the houao aa through the workings of a mine ; ' every external open ing must bo kept closed , and internal doors that load from a room whore the draft ia in ono direction to another whore it ia reserved must be closed the inatonl \ person passes through them. There is no doubt that so long as the steam ol air remained pure in quality and sufficient .n quantity n house would by this moans 30 efficiently ventilated. But the suc cess of such a syatom would bo no com ) onsation for the loaa of windows niu doors that could bo opened at pleasure , and for the absence of freedom to pose and ropaos in any direction at will. The simplest mode of changing the air , that by doors and windows , can be rendered much more efficient than it ia Movable transom lights over the door arc i great assistance. They should novoi DO omitted from the bedrooms , since the ) allow a change of air without admitting the chilly breath of the early morn. A jood method of obtaining fresh air in i room unprovided with a ventilating flue is to raise the lower sash a few inches and stop the lower aperture with a boart made to fit. The ouUido air , warmed bj contact with the warmer air of the room will flow between the sashes and rise to ward the ceiling. A fireplace is ar efficient ventilator. The dr&ughl ia usually upward oven whet there ia no fire , and ia alwaya BO whrn t fire ia burning. A valve near the ceiling opening into the flue gives a simple means of Rotting rid of the hoi foul ail of the upper part of a room. Such i device aa thu , useful though it ia when there ia uo system ol heating except b ; open firoa , cannot bo uaod when hot ni ia supplied by flues , or when steam hea ia employed , aa in either of those case , the warm fresh air will at once escape b ] the valve. So. long aa a fire ia kept burn ing in an open fireplace there is Httl cause for fear of want of _ ventilation and uo house can bo considered tobi * i perfectly ventilated unleia well provide ! e | witl ; fireplace , A pivoted naah o small ansoincnt , fitted into the upper > rtrt of n largo window , can often bo iponod without discomfort vrhon the rindow itself cannot , Adv.int.ngo should > o taken of the nbaonco of the inmates to .horoughly change the air in n room. V rootn kept locked up nnd with closed windows ia not in n fit condition to re ceive ita lennnta unless n fire is burning or a ventilating flue exists. Simple ncthods like these will , when the rooms nro of tolerable eizo , the eewerngo iu good rder nnd the inhabitants not too numor- ia , fulfill the conditinno necessaiy to icalth ; but wherever furnace or steam icat is used , nnd in nil public buildings , [ i regular system of ventilation is de manded.
