The Shadow of the Beast.
The 'Squatter Sovereignty paves the way
for the admission of Utah into the Union
with its horrible Polygamic institution, is
conceded, but it seemed incredible that
the Administration party should not only
leave the right to hold slaves of the
people of the incoming States but also
the right to the social institution of poly
gamy, which even the better class of the
barbarous Turk now begin to regard with
loathing. But, as wonders will not cease
so we can hardly express surpriss when
it becomes evident that the Democracy
will make the admission of Utah with or
without Slavery and Polygamy one of its
issues, when the proper season comes for
broaching the subject. The Cleveland

so far as this a administration is concerned
has had several items, Of late, hinting
towards the right Of the Mormon States
to its beastly social organism. In its
Wednesdays issue it says
The Mormons have held .thier Convention,
formed Constitution, and will soon be
at the door of Congress for admission.
They have the requisite population, and
their or ganic law is Republican in form,

Polygamy is claimed by them to be a
part of their religion peing copied from
the Patriarchs, and about which Congress
has nothing to say But if Congress has

What does this mean if it does not argue
the right to polygamy under the Federal
Constitution? The public mind is not
yet prepared to have the Democratic
press openly espouse the cause of poly
gamy, but such paragraphs as the above
can leave no doubt as to the issue that
will be made when the question of the ad
mission Of Utah is made. What tri-
color for freemen, for Americans. for
religion, for progress, to contemplate

FACTS ABOUT OUR CoUNTRY.-Thet ter
ritorial limits of the United States include
somewhat more than one third of the a
rea ofthe continent Of North America
The superficial area of the Union, a.
mounts to two millions nine hundred and
thirty six thousand and sixty six square
miles. (2,636, ,l66. At the close ol
the Revolutionary war in 1888, the linn

72o, $50 square miles. Louisiana, pur-
chased in 1903, had an extent of 899, ,589
square miles, or more territory than was
included in the original States. By the
acquisition of Florida, Texas and New
Mexico, more territory was secured than
the whole original extent of the United
States. SO that since the peace of 1888;
the country increased in size more that
three.fold. The American Republic has
territorial extent nearly ten times as
large as that of Great Britain and Frlnce
combined. 1t is one-sirth less than the
area covered by the ifty-nine empires,
states and republics of Europe.
Over two-ffths of the national territory
is drained by the Mississippi river and its
tributaries The frontier line of the Uni.
ted States on the British possession is 8,

between Liverpool and Albany. Massa-
chusetts constitutes one three hundred ana
eightieth part of the national area. The
Territories are larger in extent than the
States of the Union, the difference in ia.
vor of the former being 7946 square

area that exceeds by 100000 square
miles the extent Of the other twenty one

States have a51, sos square miles. anc
the non slaveholding States 643. .591
