ANALLY TO MORMONJSM

To add to their multitude of SIM
the Democrats in Congress appear
determined to stand by the Mormons and
the faith of the Latter Day Saints SO
long as there is any opportunity of
helping to keep the adherents of the
s'twin relic of barbarsm'' on their feet.
At each stage of the proceedings in Con-
gress looking towards suppression of
Mormonisnn large majority of the Dem
ocrats were found warmly espousing the
cause Of the Mormons and finally when
the question came up in the House of
Representatives for the expulsion of CAM
non, the Mormon Delegate, there was
general rally of the democracy to his sup
port. Cannon was ousted by vote of
70 to 1913. Republicans may well feel
proud of the record that all but nine of
the 1913 votes which accomplished Can
mons expulsion came from the members
of their party, while all the votes sus-
tanning Cannon and polygamy were Civ
en- by the Democrats. This carries its
own comment with it and it is another
instance as showing that the democratic
party is not purged sufficiently as yet
to be safely trusted with the administration
of National affairs. The Democratic par
ty is willing to play into the hands of
the polygamists in the hope that Utah
admitted as state would reciprocate the
favor by giving the democracy two United
States Senator'S

AMERICAN VINES IN EUROPE.

Among the latest of promising Ames-
lean articles of export is the grapevine,
and the more contemplate the quality,
according to American standard,
the greater its value in the Euro
pean wine producing districts. For
the vines are not sought for the quality
of their fruit, but for the vigor OF their
growth and their apparent ability to
withstand the attacks of the phylloxera
that are driving many owners ofthe vine
yards to desperation. Grated or budded
on some of our wild stock the highly es-
teemed wine grapes of France have been
found to grow rapidly and yield protus-
ly. 1t is quite likely, however that the
demand for American stock will contin-
ue indefinitely, for sooner or later the
dreaded insect pest will make itself at
home on the new vines, for the European
method of growing grapes for wine is
probably at the bottom Of the vineyard
lists trouble. Wine grapes reach their
commercial perfection by being starved;
their fine qualities, like much human
genius, seem to be the result of debility
if not of disease. Manure is scarcely
ever used in vineyards of wine grapes:
on the contrary, the wine is made from
grapes grown from soil SO dry, thin, and
poor that even weeds desert it, and the
light fertilizing Given to increase the
strength Of the vines always results in
inferior juice in at least one crop OF grapes.
As the American vines owe their vigor to
the rich soil in which they grow, they
must speedily deterioate when subjected
to the European starvation process, and
then the phyleoxera will mark it for
their own. As, however, the American
supply is practically inexhaustible,
Frances trouble promises to be our gain
for years to come.

A NATION OF HANDSOME PEOPLE. -
An American lady, who has spent some

about the beauty OF the people. The men
are simply gorgeous creatures-the hand

steamer, was "a very god in physique, ,
and she soon found that he was only a
fair specimen of the race. These grand
fellows dress with taste and magnificence
In describing one OF them who visited
her, she says: "He came in robe as
splendid as the robes in an Eastern tale
He wore the costliest of veIvets, the rich
est of satins, and the rarest of flrs. He
wore a girdle of precious stones, and bis
superb mantle was fastened across his

You can fancy how imposing company
of these mobiles are on state occasions.
I attended requiem mass at which the
mobiles were all present in this magniti-
cence and they were simply dazzling.
Costly iewls are sometimes worn at the
knee or adorn the tops of the high boots
which are always worn outside the trow

JESSE JAMES IN CHICAGO TO KILL AL

JESSE JAMES IN CHICAGO TO KILL AL
Ian PINKERTON.-The Pinkertons are
not mourning to any great extent over
the sudden demise of Jesse James George
Hit, of Missouri, in an interview, says of
James: "He went to Chicago once to kill
Allan Pinkerton, and staid four months,
but he never had a chance to do it like
he wanted to. That was after the Pinker-
tons made raid on his mothers home,
blew off her arm, and killed his STEP
brother He said he could have killed
the younger one, but he didn't care to do
it. i want him to know who did it, he
said; 1t would do me no good if couldn't
tell him about it before he died. I had
dozen chances to shoot him when he
didn't know it. wanted to give him a
fair chance, but the opportunity never
came He left Chicago without doing it,
but 1 haye heard him say often, I know
God will some day deliver Allan Pinker-
ton into my hands," The childlike
faith of Mr.. James in the protection OF
Providence is touching in the extreme.
