VILLAGE OF WOMEN q the tile king of dahomey has the ieru tation of maintaining an army of amazons and occasionally a more limited number of amazons is seen on the mimic stage an amazonian villa geor

to the utter political dis did qualification of men the members of the community are obliged to assent to a constitution which is to govern it but further than this they are not restrained except that they are expected to attend at least otice a week upon the uncertain religious service to be held the village is to be called aurora each house is to have llave its garden the main reliance fo for

gracefully yield it etc on the score 0 of expediency ped lency ency and in deference to the unwritten laws of the worlds public opinion which so universally condemn it and against whose silent operation written constitutions and statutes are arg powerless to contend these suggestions indicate an apprehension that congress with the nation at its back will trample tho the constitution under foot in the eager a er desire to uproot mormonism or polygamy well suppose congress dues would that be any excuse for the mor mormons Mor mons violating and abandoning the constitution tion not a bit that and the declaration of independence were framed to bethe be the textbook text book of american government and if congress should lie minded to apostatize from the political doctrines therein laid down is that any reason why the mormons cormons Mor D mons should be I like ilke ke minded and apostatize from those thoo doctrines also alo al aio o we can not see seo that it is it may or may not be that polygamy is doomed as the herald asserts but if it is it will bo be for the first time in the history of the world it is not such an easy matter to doom a true truo and v vital tal I 1 principle
