POLYGAMY ?Sk S o crate s and Other JP In ral Wiishingl The case of Mr. Roberta, from I 4ah, presents some highly interesting ma terial for thought and speculation. For the first time in its history( a'po lygamist has presented himself at the doors of Congress, asking a seat in that body. Society, almost as a unit, has held up its hands in horror at thc affront. Vet it would be bard to get what a philosophic historian would consider a logical tea-.m for this from many of those who are shocked at Mr. Roberts' temerity, lt is known gen erally that there are laws in all of thc States against a plurality of wives, lt. is also a matter of common knowledge that thc average bigamist is a sneak in his offending against these lawsaud that he is usually only discovered hy chance. When ono is discovered as having gone further than bigamy in breaking the marriage laws ht: is held up to the public as something in the way of a freak. Thc women regard ? h n us a human monster, and thc* men 1 M k on him with something akin to pitying contempt. Punishment is ac c p.ed without question as thc proper thing for his offense. Men guilty of other crt tues under the law often raise the question of the | justice of the punishment inilicted, j but a bigamist takes his penal sen tence as a matter of course. Littic j wonder that society should nearly have lost its breath when it became known that, a polygamist was coming to Con gress. Society knew in a general way that way "out yonder in Utah" there was a religious suet whose male mem bers had a plurality of wives. But outside of a few reformers knew or cared anytbiug about the matter. But j when one of these much-married men ', asked for a scat iu the highest law- i making body in tho land au entirely ; new phase of thc matter was present- j cd. A cry like th n of ?Macedon went 1 up to Congress. The wome|r, the ministers and all I the members of that great element of 1 society called the "moral reformers'' rose as one in protest against this man from Utah. The women, in their de lightfully artful way, did not give any particular reason why he should be excluded. Indeed, they were not ex pected to. "Because'' was amply sufficient in this case, as it is in so many others, where feminiuity is call ed on to give reasons. It fell to the lot of the ministers and moral reform ers to furnish the reason why Mr. Roberts should be excluded. It was geuerally conceded among them that marriage is a divine institution, be- j cause God gave Jive to Adam, and, j further, that rt was never iuteuded that man should have more than one wife because..the Lord only gave Adam one. It is true that there is no record of any marriage ceremony, so dear to tho female heart, ever having taken place in thc Gai den of Eden; so th nt the origin of our present views on thc question can scarcely bo traced to any recorded divine law in regard to tho matter. It is true that the Ten Com mandments, handed down to Moses, imply a marital relation as existing among the Jews, but there is no inti mation that monogamy was the rule or that polygamy was prohibited. In fact, that Bible record is explicit in its statements that polygamy^did exist* among the "chosen people of God." Gladstone, in one of thc magazine articles he wrote iu reply to Col. In gersoll op the subject of Christianity, remarked quite incidentally that mar riage was to him thc greatest mystery of humanity. To thejtmind of tho great English statesman and scholar the miracles of Christianity presented suoa difficulties, for comprehension as this purely human institution. He had gone deep into tbo history of the subject without getting much light as to the reason why marriage existed as an institution. He was content, how ever, to limit practical experience in the matter to ono venture in the way of matrimony; whether from deference to established custom orfor prudential reasons the great commoner gives no intimation. Where a Gladstone failed to master the reasons for the "institution," it is hardly to be expected that the members of tbo 5fith Congress should find ready moana nP nlnntnir tVtaman}rt/\a -'?-*--^ -?------o in the matter. This is a history-mak ing period, however, and ic may be within the proper scope of this Con gress to come out boldly aud frankly and olear up all doubt and sp?culation as to what matrimony shall consist of and why. Bot they had best go a little slowly and bo euro of their ground before they banish Mr. Roberts from their beatific monogamous presence. If thoy turn to past history for precedent they will bc in that perplexed condition which the old Virginia negro described as "up a stamp." Thoy will find there that the marringa customs of their aoces oro were so varied as to pusile the i A". IN HISTORY. Notables Who Had "Waives. o?

Thc li rsl mu riag.', as we understand thc term, was thc result of capture.

Kacli of the fortunate ones seals unto himself the valued prize, for who is to say hi. J nay? She is the prize of might. As i; vas scarcely piobable that the other ?nulo ni em hers of the tribe would a Hov: oven a victor to retain more than mc wife who had cometo him by cai ture, monogamy was almost, certainly llio original rule. Resides, it has bean the observation of travel ers who have visited primitive tribes in many parts of the world that as a rule lin; '??cu usually outnumber the women. The circumstances formerly gave riso to two peculiar conditions polyandry audexogamy. There were not wi' e- enough to go around, and where any sort i f ? marriage relation existed. ;;? - ir. did in tho Ncighlery Hills in india when-the koiglish lirst visited lin: country, the wife hada plurality of husbands. It is a matter of curious speculation as tu what our Congress would do if a polyandrous husband should show up some day as a delegate from some remote corner of our lately acquired possessions in the Orient. What would the women say? How would the pastorR of our church es treat this monstrous perversion of the "divine institution of monoga my?'" lt is related that where poly andry exi-ted the women were quite as independent aud overbearing as their lords and masters of to-day. They commonly made their obedient husbands carry them about on their backs. All thc wealth and the dc sccut we:.t in the female line of tho tribe, ;i .a they took the lead in everything, including such primi tiv- legislation as was. carried into ef fect. Monti -n is made of polyandry by thc early Greek writer.- as existing in re mo ;c urns of Gro-ce. and the same re lation!} existing between thc sexes as those liotcd in India. Kxogoiny, the other result of a plu rality of males over females, probably had more to do with the present social relations than any other influence. This term is applied to the custom of seeking a wife outside, as endogamy is applied to the custom of seeking a wife within thc tribe. Where tiere were more men than women the dispo sition of thc former to get a spouse of bis Own led to extraordinary efforts to cither steal or capture one from some ot Inf r tribe. This had two important res Irs-the breaking up of conguini ty in the marriages in u particular trV.h, und tr c wider intercourse and ac quaintance .vhich naturally followed among foreign and frequently hostile tri 1 jes. * As mankind .advanced, and r,hc no ces kies of existence became surd, am 'even wealth in its primitive forms bei an to he amassed, we Cir ni came in (ipi tact with polygamy. ?gp 'olygamy was unquestionably the 'off pring of plutocracy. Now let Mr Bc berts ask the vote of any Populist mt ?ber to seat him if he dare. In Gieeoe, in Rome and its provines, in Gi rmany and the so-called barbarian I tr bes on the borders of the empire, pc rygamy prevailed almost universally. St me of the most noted men of Gre cnn history were polygamists. It was considered a mark of nobility and op ,A?_ 1X"__1- A- -- J iliwui/C ..v.^.ti^.', ?lv.(jUU3 H1IU UIOUJI of the heroes of Greek mythology are represented as having a plurality of wives. Euripdes, thc woman-hater, had two, and even that wisest of men, Socrates, had another wife besides Xantippo. She was Myrto, the great granddaughter of Aristides thc Just. Thc evidence against him is unmis takable and convincing, Calisthenes, Demetrius, Phalerusand others stand ing as his accusera. Though Socrates posed before the world as a horrible example of the wanton abuse of a wo man virago, he probably received his just deserts from a fond wife whose affections he had wilfully and ma liciously outraged. Caesar, Charle mague aud a host of others ot' tho he roes of history were guilty of the >aiuc offense charged to Mr. Roberts. The Mohammedans of to-day make polygamy a part of their religious j creed, and the custom naturally pre- 1 vails where thc followers of the j Prophet have dominion. Nearly all ; the native tribes of Africa practice j polygamy.

Perhaps the most interesting matter ol' i..story for us is thc process through \ which polygamy was excluded from the civilization cf Ku rope and the offshoot ! of which we form a part. At the time ! ol' Christ morals in Home and its in- ; dependent colonies were at a low ebb. Tin: marital relation was at best little more than a name. While polygamy ! was not countenanced, and was some- i times prohibit vi by lau , it frequently ! existed, though divorce Wart SO cnn- 1 mon us to amount to tim sam.' thing ! in practice. Hut soon after the ad- ? vent ol' Christianity a wave ol' asceti cism swept over tho bead city ?d' the world and - monogamy became a fact ; instead of e. (iction. Higher ideals regarding the marital relation canto to j be enter' lined by both pagan and Christ':.;... The Church touk up thc crusade ?nd .-irried it forward to the present <! ... and polygamy, except in isolated u.i i .-poradic instances, has never made any headway in tho civili zation which arose on the ashes of the old Roman Empire. About all that eau bc said of Mr. Roberts' case in the light of history is that he is out of harmony with the spirit of the age. Iii: is in about thc same position us a young society man of to-day who would go wooing with a club. Suppose such a swain should call on a charming young lady in bis social set, and after stunning ber with a sharp blow of bis bludgeon carry hel by force to bis own home. Ile might, with perfect truth, plead that what bc had done was tho common way of get ting a wife among his ancestors. Hut, iii the vernacular of tho Police Court, what that misused bride's friends would do to tba? young'man would bi: a plenty. And the chances are that. Congress will do equally as well by Mr. Roberts. Having a Great Run on.Chamberlain's Cough Remedy.

PIEDMONT COTTON MILLS History and Wonderful Urowtli ol' tho Iud II st ry. Mau nf act ure r it I'< cord. In an interview with a representative of the Manufacturers' Record Col. Janies L. Orr, president of thc Pied uiout mills, ol' Piedmont, S. C., re garding tho textile industry in the Piedmont region of the South, said: "The real beginning td' the cotton manufacturing in the Piedmont sec tion ol' the Carolinas dates back to 1820, when William li?tes, a native of Massachusetts, aud \vl|0 hamed his trade in thc old Arkwright mills, near Providence, came lo upper Saul!. Carolina at the instance . '. tin Les ters, and linally built Lester's faiotory upon the site pf what is now Pelham. The machiner,, for this mill was bought in Philadelphia, second-hand, shipped to IT, a lesion by water a:.e. hauled I rom then b> wagons over Ultu miles. "Mr. Bates was a thoroughly i rae ti cal iiniti. and bis ?nlluoncc ami handi work was felt in ail the .-?nail mills, about a half-dozen in number, that during thc next twenty years were built ami had a more or less successful existence, such as Butesvillc, which :s named for him. liivingsville, Fi tiger ville. Lesters, a mill at Creensboro ? and a few others. *'Tiie progress of these mills from 1840 was slow, and at the breaking out of tin? civil war thc Confederate government took charge of all cotton ! mills and detailed officials lo run them, taking a largo part ed" their pro- j duct for army purposes. "The real beginning of cotton manu- j facturing as wc have it. now commette- i ed with the Piedmont mills, projected J and successfully carried out by the late Col. li. P. Hammett, a son-in-law ol' Mr. William Bates. This mill was begun in 1 S7??, and began tin: manu facture id' goods in the spring of 1870. In a very few years (l$S2) this ven ture was followed by tho Pol ?er mills and tho Clifton mills. These pioneer mills soon demonstrated to a very skeptical world til.it. cotton goods oould be manufactured in tho South as cheap, if not cheap r. than in any other section of thc United States. Tiie Piedmont mills have grown from a small i laut of 5,000 spiudlcs to nearly 01,000 spindles; from a capital \ of $200,000 to ?800,000, which is far j below the value of the property. "The market value of thc stock is 185, but very little changes hauds, bc- j ing^held for investment exclusively. | Piedmont uses 32,500 bales of cotton annually, produeiug 1)0,000,000 yurds of cloth, of which 75 per cent is ex ported to China, Africa and South America. ^ "Following thc signal success of these pioneer mills others were soon erected, and in a few years South Carolina assumed tho lead of all other SOUtnern Slate--, and has kept it, standing to-day second only to Mas- j saehusctts in number ol' spindles, and second to none in high standard td' j equipment, dividends and high class j of products. "While it was in all probability a j inert; chance that Mr. Bates began bis j Work in this section over three-quar- | tors of a century ugo, it is certain that j if be had been thoroughly informed of the varying advantages of the whole South as suited to*the manufacture of cotton goods, he could not have chosen ii section with climatic, geographical and physical conditions and surround ings more ideal than this Piedmont section. "So successful have been thc ven tures in cotton manufacture herc, a j failure is tho exception; in fact, with | mythiug like efficient management, . there have been no failures. The ! mills begun ten or fifteen years ago ! have in many instances increased their capacities from four to eight ! Limes their original size, in many in- | stauces paying for a large part of j these improvements out of surplus 1 earnings of their mills and paying handsome dividends at the same time on their capital stock.
