The triumph of the liquor men in
Ohio promises To be short lived. Re
ports are coming from different parts of
the state that their high-handed course
is arousing strong current of opposi-
ton. A Columbus dispatch to the
Cleveland Herald says: The indlgna-
ton of the liquor men against the pass
age of the Pond and Smith Sunday bills
is doing more to help and strengthen
the Republican party than any other
movement that could be organized,
and the good results springing from
this opposition are already beginning
to be felt throughout the stale. The
saloonists are oye,rcaching themselves,
and by their actions are drawing into
the Republican ranks hundreds of men
who cannot and will not stand by an
issue made on basis of organ lied OPP
position 10 these laws. An attempt
was made last week to file papers with
the secretary OF state Incorporating an
association of whisky Smen whose
avowed purpose was tn resist the execu
ton of the liquor laws. The attorney
general of the state has advised him
not to place them on file. Unless Tho
advocates of free rum show more dis
erection. Democratic calculations on Ia,
fall elections will need revision"

HOW PRO scRIPTIoN WORKS.
A Game that 'wO Can Play at in IL
Teri itory of Utah.

A Game that 'wO Can Play at in the
Teri itory of Utah.
| WASHINGTON ID. C., April 26.-When
the Edmunds bill was passed by con-
gress, the leaders of the Mormon church
were almost overcome with fear that
their pet Institution of polygamy and
priesthood rule was about to come to an
end. The petitions asking the president
and congress 10 act slowly IN appointing
commissioners aud legislating for Utah,
came as a natural consequence of this
fear of their own safety. Because non
| MOTmons would not sign these petitions
they were listed as enemies To the church
az its people.
in presenting petitions TO business
Lien for signatures, all the persuasive
! influences were used which the Nor
| mons know best how to present. Then
came the threat of loss of business, and
he name of the intended victim of
sanity hate and prescription was care
fully noted in a book for future refer
cncc.
This for the time did not affect the
traffic OF such merchants as had refused
to sign petitions in aid of the polygam-
Gus church. When the semi-annual con-
ference met in session in this city this
month, the order came from the church
against saints dealing with Gentiles.
John Taylor, president of the church,
boldly preached in the tabernacle that
4 he lattcr-day saints must not patroniZe
the un sodly outsiders. but must deal eX-
clusiv, iy with people in their own faith.
The cl urch papers endorse this suicidal
policy on the part of the priests, and we
are now seeing some of the results. In
| conversation with various business men
! it is learned that the GENTLE citizens are
doing more trade with merchants in I'M
ison with them upon the import
ant questions of the day in
this territory than formerly. One
firm says that their bust
ness ias greatly increased the past two
week 3, and that the order of the church
and the sermons of John Taylor will be
worth to them thousands of dollars
They cite the fact, in evidence of this,
that during the past week ten first-class
customers have opened accounts with
them, who formerly dealt exclusively
with Mormon houses, and that their
business has increased % per cent.
| through new customers which Mormon
stores have lost because of the proscrip-
ton policy ordered by the church.
Other firms report the loss of some of
their patrons, but this is more than
made good by the gain of GENTLE Gus
toners in the place of the Mormons who
have left them.
This is a condition of affairs in com
mercial matters that would never have
come from the Gentle side, and we be.
lieve that the MormOns are the princi-
pal losers. 1t is unfortunate for all
that John Taylor should have made
such an ass of himself

a REMARKABLY SCENE
Blaine Discharges a Farewell Shot at
Belmont

I belmont
WASHINGTON, ID. c., April 27.-Mr
, Belmont said there was some doubt a.
to Landreau's being an American cili
zen, and referred to the letter of instruc
tions to Trescott
/ Mr.. Blaine a must confess 1 was
greatly surprised at the publication o!
that dispatch. l thought | had an un.
Outstanding with the president that that
dispatch should not be published till
| Trescott'S return fro n South America.
| When I heard il had been sent 10 The
senate, telegraphed Immediately to the
| White house and urged that II might be
withheld from the associated press That
! evening sent to the president a note
stating my reason why it ought to be
held. Il was published, however, and
believe there have been no more pcrnI-
ciOus results from the improper publ
cation of state department dispatches
than have resulted from this Mr. Tres
colt considered his mission in South
America ended, and from that dav there
has been no earthly use of Seeping him
there"
Belmont stated that he had no further
questions to ask.
At the close of Belmonts cross exam
ination a most exciting and unusual
scene occurred for the foreign affairs
committee room. Blaine stated that as
Belmont, being warned on Monday, had
persisted in entirely misqueting hisstlis-
patches and putting upon hem con-
struction utterly foreign, h was com.
PEELED to change his opin on OF him,
which had heretofore been that he was

An exciting conversation ensued
which the committee were unable to in
terrupt. Belmont infmaled that he
would deal with Blaine in private. and
followed it up with the words: Il be
lieve you are bully and Il coward"
Blaine addressed the committee. and
ignoring Belmont, replied: THE chair

bic of doing So"
The scene was most remarkable, and
Notwithstanding the efforts of the chair
man to smooth the trobIed waters and
obviate the necessity of any misunder-
standing, the impression prevailed at
the adjournment of the meeting that the
dispute had by no means ended. 1t is

While explorers are 81 disastrously
banked in the Polar regions, 1t is en-
couragipg to read that discoverer,
whose expenses are paid by the French
government and citizen of New York,
has found a great city in Central Amer
lea never before visited by white men.
This is called 1.-The Phantom City, and
it is situated in The country of the Lo-
candones in Guatemala. Reports about
it from natives of the neighboring dis
tricts contain all the elements of ro-
mance-white turrets cleaning in the
sun, inhabitants who keep up the Gus
TOMS and habits of the times of the
Spanish invasion, and monuments with
Inscriptions thousands of years old
Some persons have believed this city to
be only a mirage seen from ytlle tops OF
lofty mountains; but if il shall prove to
be anything more substantial, it is a
matter OF great interest.

The liquor men of Ohio appear to
have entered upon war of extermina-
ton against every man and every inter
est that opposes free whiskey. Their
latest point of attack is the Cincinnati
Southern Railroad, and their grievance
is that its president, the Honorable Theo-
dore Cook, favored the Sunday Closing
bill which the Legislature passed at its
recent session. One prominent brewer
is reported In the Cincinnati Enquirer
as saying that the whiskey men, the
brewers, the masters, the cigar and to-
bacco men intend to withdraw their pat
ronage from the Southern Railroad, and
not ship pound of freight over that
route that can be sent to its destination
in any other way. Mr.. Cook, who is q
prominent Democrat, when questioned
on the subject said: This coercion
business will not win. II such a state
ment were published, 1 believe it would
have contrary effect TO what the brew
ers wish. 1t would intensity the feeling
against Sunday Dissertation, and those
who think as do upon the subject
would Indignantly repel any attempt TO
bulldoze them into concession"
