Political and Legislative Briefs
We are informed by the Papyrograph Company that Congress has passed a law rating all matter printed by that process as third class. The House of Representatives at Harrisburg, Pa., have re-committed the Sunday bill to the Committee on Vice and Immorality, by a vote of 126 to 35. This committee proposed a summary disposition of the Sunday question, which the Pennsylvania Legislature is not prepared to adopt. Hence this action. A petition to Congress, designed to secure signatures from women in the United States everywhere, is in circulation, praying that honorable body to enact such legislation as will make effective the anti-polygamy laws of 1862. We trust this movement will receive such encouragement as shall move Congress to do something for the sake of morality and the honor of the nation.
