THE MORMON DELEGATE
EXCLUDED.

The Z. S. Congress has struck one
more blow at the foul excrescencc
upon our social and political system,
in denying the Mormon delegate a
seat in the house Of representatives.
The Mormous have been represented
in congress for thirty-two years, but
the popular demand for some decided
action on the part of the government
has led to the enactment of the anti
polygamy bill, and now to the exclu-
sion of the Mormon delegate from a
seat in the national legislature.
When the question came up on the
adoption of resolution declaring
that George Q. Cannon was duly
elected, Cannon entered upon an I'M
blushing defence of polygamy in the
house, which was heard with disgust.
Mr.. Cassidy, of Nevada, demo-
crat, then made brief but emphatic
protest against allowing Cannon to
retain his seat 1.-The American con-

Mr.. Calkins, chairman of the cleo

made some pertinent references to
the Mountain Meadow massacre.
''The Mormons must yield" said he /;
"plural marriages must yield, not to
the republican or to the democratic
party, but to the universal voice of
the civilized world"
The yeas and nays were then call
ed upon the resolution of the minori-
ty of the committee, which declared
that Cannon had been elected dele
gate and was entitled to a seat. This
was rejected by vote of 1913 to 70,
The resolutions reported by the ma
jority of the committee were ther
passed without a division. These
resolutions declare that Allen O.

Judges Carter, Cox, and James,

met last week, being the first meet
ing of the court for the April term.
District Attorney Corkhill stated to
the court that the bill of exceptions
in the case of the United States
against Guiteau had been signed and
filed, and he would ask the court to
fix an early date for hearing argu-
ment and deciding thereon.
Chas. Reed appeared for Guiteau,
and asked for three weeks time. but
the court decided that two weeks
was enough. The court announced
that letter had been received from
Mr.. Scoville, retiring from the case
on account of his inability to further
appear without absolute ruin to his
family and himself, not to mention
the base ingratitude of Guiteau.
He says his connection with the case
has been the source of untold trouble
to him, and that If would have been
infinitely better for the Garfield and
Scoville faulty if Guiteau had never
been born.

VERMONT METHODIST CON-
FERENCE AT LUDLOW.

Bishops. M. Merrill, who is to
preside at the session Of the Vermont
conference, which opened on We'd
nesday of this week at Ludlow, is
making almost his first acquaintance
with New England Methodism.
Though he has had a seat on the
bench of bishops for ten years, yet
he has made but one previous visit to
any of the conferences in which New
England Methodism is grouped. The
bishop was born in Jefferson county,
n. Y, in the year 1925, so is yet in
a vigorous prime. He has the repu-
tation of being wise and sagacious
counsellor and holding firm admin
istrative rein. Previous to his cleo
ton to the office of bishop, Mr.. Mer-
riIl had, as all Methodist officials
must do. passed through a term of
service as pastor, having been a
member of the Ohio conference.
He has also held the Office of pre-
siding elder and was for four years
editor of the Western Christian i'd
u0cdte, published at Cincinnati, 0.
The bishop therefore has had consid-
cradle acquaintance with all the rou-
tine of Methodist business and plan
of work. Bishop Merrill has, in adj
dition to his official duties, found
time to engage in the s'making of
books being the author of works on
1.-The New Testament Ideal of He'll. y
1.-THE Scriptural Doctrine of Bap-
tism,'' and 'Aspects of Christian
Experience" in which the peculiar
traits of his mind, clearness of state
ment and convincing logic, rather
than enthusiasm and eloquence of ex-
preston, are manifest.-Ruttdnd

EXTENDING NATIONAL
BANK CHARTERS.

1t is now expected that Mr.. Crapo's
bill for the extension of national
bank charters will come up for dis
cussion in the house of representa-
tives, next Monday. Several amend
ments have been proposed which will
elicit considerable debate, one of
which, insisted upon by Southern
members, would give the banks au-
thority to loan on real estate mort
cages, but this plan has little
strength. There has been much I'M
easiness among the banks on account
of the delay of Congress in settling
this matter. There are ~ national
banks whose charters expire within
five months, and whether they retire
from business or reorganiZe, they will
have to 90 through the form of sur
rendering their circulation, which
amounts to 81, 266, 900, and deposit
an equal amount of legal tenders.
This, with the continued withdrawal
of bonds as security for circulation,
would in time have serious infiu-
ence upon the currency and cause a
contraction, which might have a dis
astrous effect upon business, Such
an event would suit men like Con-
gresham Buckner and other demo-
Gratis who would do anything to raise
a commotion, through which they
might secure some political advan-
tage, but the business men of the
country, whether republicans or dem
ocrats, deprecate any action which
will disturb the present condition of
monetary affairs.

In the last Congress the Senate de-
bated the bill allotting land in sever
atty to Indians. for q days, and
then failed to pass it. On Monday,
the bill passed the Senate without OPP
position, and it is expected to pass
the House easily ana become law.
This is another specimen of New
England "sentimentalism, which al
ways raises the hair of certain people
who are not of us, but which triumphs
in the end, quietly, but surely. This
bill is long step in the direction of
justice toward the Indian, and it's
passage by the Senate is an evidence
that sanity will prevail in that body,
give it time enough. The success of
settling Indians on lands of their
own, has been fully proved, and
there is no reason why the Indian
should not experience the Gland hun
ger" as every civilized people has
done.

The leaders of the Readjuster par
ty in Virginia will, within few days
issue a proclamation declaring them
selves supporters of the Administra-
ton, and calling upon all men in Vir-
ginia opposed to Bourbon rule to
avow their fealty to the president.
This pronunciamento will, it is said,
place many republicans in Virginia
in an embarrassing position. Thus
far Senator Malone has controlled
the federal patronage in the State,
and the republican representatives in
congress and leading republican in
the State have had nothing to say re-
garding the filling of offices. There
are many republicans in Virginia who
will not pledge themselves to sup
port the Administration, neither will
they vote the Readjuster ticket, and
it is expected that the lines will re
main about the same as they were at
the last election, when many repub-
licans opposed to Malone stayed
away from the polls. The Virginia
democrats profess to be highly de-
lighted at the new move that Gen.
Malone and his friends are about to
make. They say It will drive from
the Readjuster ranks many demo-

stated that he had no knowledge of
