THE MORMON question is likely to
create a lively time in congress at an
early day. The judiciary committee
of the house will soon report the Utah
jury bill, and also upon Mr.. Cannon's
right to seat as delegate in that
body. Mr. Cannon was recently ex-
amined, and stated to the committee
that polygamy was recognized by the
Mormons in all legal as we'll as moral
and social matters. He virtually stated
they never recognized the federal law
on that subject when they could avoid
it, and acknowledged that they admit
ted to vote every polygamous wife, even
if she was but fifteen years of age, and
an alien who had been in the country
but long enough to reach Utah. That
such women voted for delegates, there
was no doubt in the minds of the judi
ciary committee.

The Iron Age, of Marshall, Texas, of
April 3Otn, publishes Il sketch by Chas.
Wilson, of Mustang Gray, a sort of
ephemereal notoriety, who figured in
southwest Texas from 1912 to about
l349, and died vagabond death on the
Rio Grande.
jerry Clemens, of Alabama, wrote a
rich novel entitled Mustang Grey"
which gave a 81 ecies of eclat to the
character of the man elsewhere, but
in Texas he had no real reputation be-
yond that of u sort of half-clever, half
vagabond loafer, who was brave enough

useful soldier, Mr.. Williams sketch
is simply fiction, not founded on facts.

Disgusteh with the Man that Runs
the Weather Cock

| Hr. the w tNthtT NOcA
From the Savannah Advertiser.1 8
Saturday afternoon the skipper of
theischo0ner "Night OWL" from New
Bedford, Massachusetts, put into the
signal office at this place and running
along side of Observer Popple, drew
his imaginary deck trumpet, and spoke
to him titus:
"Say, be yeou the man that runs the
weather cock in these parts? If So,
yc be what's like to be the weather on
u run from here back to Bedford Now,
We see, Pm down here on run from
the icebergs, and thought rs how
bein' you chaps was so burned smart
that | might git the weather gauge
outin' We, aud make lick ON fruit aud
salt keep itcosey) If / could steer clear
of the starboaid eve of these fellers.''
All this was said with a velocity and
suddenness, which in itself was appall-
ingly ridiculous. AT length when the
main substance of his query had be-
come sufficiently luminous for our
genial observer to tumble to the old
mans drift, the observer told him in
effect that owing to the then existing
northeast winds and the agglomern-
ton of numbers and stratas, clouds
which then overspread the sky, it
would be impossible for him to tie up a
pocket full OF weather that would last
him to his desired home in the land of
the swift swimming cod. t.r sf.
Certain illusions to areas of high
and low barometer, which we do not
just now distinctly remember, We're
made, and decided and direct effort
to set the skipper straight rs to the inn
possibility of according him his earnest
and honestly made request, were
urged upon him.
The old man was spell bound, and
from the expression upon his face we
thought the tide OF conviction had
turned upon him. But the open
weather which had settled upon his
face became overcast, and his knobby
old phiz grew dark and overhanging,
the tide had set in indeed, and il car
ried him clear to sea, aud raising his
voice, which seemed to scatter mack
erel bones in the humid air, he, after
the manner of men, said something
after this fashion! silt.rlsaah 1asF

From the National Crop Reporter,
of May 3, we take tho following syn
opsis Of the cropprospects in the north
ern states: "The unusual backwardnoss
Of the season has delayed Very much
all kinds of spring work, and at date
of the last full reports, prepared April
18th, there had been practically no
seeding at all in the stateof Minnesota,
and but little blowing in Wisconsin at
the date mentioned. About ten per
cent of tho estimated area has been
5own in wheat, and but little more than
one-fourth of the oats. The average
area sown in wheat In the states of
Illinois, Iowa, Missouriand Wisconsin,
was eighty-seven per cent of the esti-
mated probable total; sixty-two per
cent of the oats, and of potatoes thirty
per cent. The prospects of the fruit
crop to date are of the most encourage
ing character, and the reported damage
by frost, excepting in portions of Del
aware and Maryland, is inconsideable.
The condition of the roads at the date
of reports was south of the forty-first
parallel, uniformly bad, owing to the
prevalence of wet weather. while north
of That line the ground was generally
frozen and the roads in fine condition.
The prices of leading articles, the first
half of April, in the states of Illinois,
Indiana, Iowa, Kansas, Minnesota, Mis-
souri,, Ohio and Wisconsin, show
slight advance ON corn, oats and hay,
and q slight decline on swine and pota-
toes, wheat remaining Unchanged"

REPLY TO nCIyIS.n

EDifoR JoURNAL.-In your paper Of date Of
June 2sth is a Communication signed "CIvis."
IN which Oecurs The following language, "oniy
one Of the many temperance elements was rep.
resented to-day, as BY The aeiionof the Con.
vention the overtures Of Leagues were ignored"
Now wish to correct " Civis 80 far as
70 deny that any action was taken by the Pro-
hibition Convention looking even remotely
~ the exclusion or ignoring, Of Leauges or
other temperance organizations, which sought 10
join the Prohibition party The convention did
las understand-refuse to be dictated to by
the persons who would not say they were or
ever would be, members Of Il, and who
claimed TO represent ope, or more leagues; but
those persons would not pledge themselves to
support the nominees Of the Prohibition party; I;
and asked the Convention to be governed BY
them in very important matter, aud would
give no assurance to the party in return, ex-
cept that the party should have their sympathy
and that they would vote " No license."' The
reasons they assigned Tor this request we're not
deemed by the convention sufficiently cogeut
aud the request was refused when the repre-
sentatives Of the League or Leagues withdraw
from the Convention, after some sneers at the
delegates Of the Prohibition party, who were
present. Now allow me to say to Civis and all
others, that the Prohibition party invites all
temperance people to come and join it; and
especially inyites all Leagues and other tenn.
perance organizations to come aud Join il: and
whosoever will let him come and join the party
