CHICAGO, Dec. 8. - Congressma
George ". Cassidy of Nevada said t
reporter here yesterday that he di'
not advocate River and Harbor bill
| because he could not find even a two
foot stream in Nevada, save the Sutr'
tunnel, and so there was nothing to ap
propriate for.
"How do the people of the Paciti.
slope take the Presidents r. commenda
tion IN favor of suspending the coinage
of silver dollars
"They don't like it at all. 1t will
antagonize both parties On the slope.
The fact is we live, move and have our
being by the business done iu handling
the precious metals. Another thing to
be considered is that the President is
away off as to the facts attending the
distribution of silver. There is no glut
of silver dollars in the country. The
DSV,OOVsVOV All sC1
vaults is represented by silver certiti-
Gates in the hands of the people. Hence
silver Is not burden nor an annoyance,
nor is there too much Of it in circula-
tion.
What do you know about the Nor.
mons:'
"Quite considerable. | have lived
among them and been acquainted with
their history from the Mountain Mead
ows massacre down. The non-polyga.
mists do the bidding oflthe poly gamists.
The Edmunds bill will prove of no
avail in stamping out polygamy. Some
thing will have to be done in the ma.
ture OF government over Utah-such
as the District of Columbia has-to rule
the Territory by Commissioners ap-
pointed by the President and confirmed
by the Senate. The Mormons are
getting q greater ioothold every day.
They have big lobby in Washington
now. endeavoring to make a State out
of Utah. They have ample population
for this under the Constitution. Once
a State, the institution of polygamy is
firmly rooted. 1t will be Hands eff =
NO Federal interference in regard to
the Mormon question 1t would be
dangerous for either party to regard
the behests of the lobby and admit
Utah into the family of States"
"What do you think of Senator
Logan's proposition iseconded by the
President in his message) that Chinese
coolies in Cuba be allowed to pass to
and fro through this country -
1.-The proposition is combated on the
Pacific Slope. There are $4,000 coolies
in Cuba. and no way of identifying
them. If they were allowed to leave
Cuba for China ad libitum they would
take up their quarters in this country:
Ii would only be pretense to admit
these Cinnamon now excluded under
