The article presents incidents related to the world politics. The U.S. Senate passed the Blair Pension Bill, by a vote of more than two to one, which proposes to pension every soldier who served in the army three months, and who is now disabled and dependent upon his own exertions for support, as well as all dependent parents of soldiers who died in the service or from disability contracted therein. This is an extension of the pension system beyond any thing ever known in United States. Another incident focuses on the polygamy amendment to the Constitution reported by the House Judiciary Committee which prohibits "polygamy and polygamous association" throughout the United States.
