Sketch OF the Life of Hon. Alexander
H. Stephens.

Alexander Hamilton Stephens was born at
TaliaferrO, Georgia. At the age of fourteen he
was left an orphan. lie graduated at Franklin
college in 1892 and at once began the study of
law and was admitted to practice three years
later. In 1896 he was elected TO the lower house
OF tie state legislature in which body he served
five years. In 1872 he was elected to the state
senate and the following year was returned to
congress as whig, with which party he was
ide:hiiled from the first Of his public life. In
1852 when Gen. Winfield Scott was nominated
for tie presidency by the wings Mr. Stephens
left the party and supported the democratic
nominee. When the secess ion movement began
to deYeio2e in 1850 Mr.. Stephens took strong
grounds in favor OF remaining in the Union
and spoke elcquently in that interest When
his state decided to secede, however he Welded
and was elected provisional vice president of
the confederacy. He visited Virginia after that
state had seeded and through his agency size
was induced to join the confederacy. When
the permanent confederate government was
formed Mr.. stephens was elected vice pre- sident
by the vote OF the people, and he continued in
that capacity until the final surrender At the
close Of the war he was arrested and confined
IN Fort Warren from April until October 1865
In December 1865, he was elected senator in
congress, but was not admitted. About April
1874, he was elected to the house of REPRESENT.
atiVeS and cont in ued to ser 'e until few wears
ago, when he was elected governor. During the
period between the close Of the war and his re
turn to congress he wrote a history of the war.
in two volumes, entitlcd "A Constitutional His
tory of the War between the States.' Mr..
Stephens made his will some time ago. He
leaves $40, O00 in money to the children of his
late brother, Judge Stephens, and the rest of his
estate with the exception of a few minor be-
quests, to his nephew, John A. Stephens. What
his estate will foot up depen ds largely upon tho
sale Of the New History of the United States
He made about $4,000 on The War between
the States" and his new book is selling well.
Above his beQuests his estate will probably pay
$4,000.

The Next ConGr> ss,

The Forty seventh Congress had
scarcely go-e on. from the shadow of
the capitol, before speculation concern
ing its successor is begun. The new
house which will assemble in December
next, v i'll consist of 325 members, an
Increase of IS. 1t will require l63 to
constitute quorum for the transact
tion of business and instead of mar
row margin as between the parties, the
democrats will have 1872 members and
the republicans I2l, and there are four
independents, two greenbackers and
six readjusters. THIS gives the demo-
Gratis Il plurality of "a over the republi-
ans, a majority of 50 over the combin.
ed opposition, though it is not likely
under such conditions that the inde-
pendents, greenDackers and reatJuSters
will ally themselves with the republi-
cans.
There are IS democrats and G2 repuO-
licans in the next congress who served
in the last body, and sew who gained
experience by service i'll former con-
crosses or in other parliamentary bod
les. This indicates tat about one
half the body viii he tr3ined to service
while the other half Will be without eX-
perience. Randall, Hewitt, Carlisle,
Morrison, Holman, Black burn, Curtin
and other able men assure the demo-
cratic majority q strong and safe lead
ership. The republicans are less fortu-
nate though Calkins, Hiscock, Kasson,
Kelly and Reed win guard the party in
terests with skill and some ability.
The new congress will have an I'D
vantage over the bod y just expired, if
the revenue bill is not more deceptive
than it seems, in tLat the surplus rev
enue will be dim inished. a full treas

THE CAUSE OF 1T.

The Liberals Of Weber County
are in a sorely perplexed condition;
portion of them favor holding
convention of their party, and max
ing nominations to be voted for at
the coming election; the other frag-
ment can't see 1t In that light and
insist upon it that such q proceed
ing will be folly, as there is no hope
whatever of their electing anybody
and it becomes tiresOms for a party
year after year to put up men merely
in order to have them knocked down.
The Pilot favors the convention,
and promises to put forth its reasons
for taking that position at an early
day.
Its rather discouraging to con-
tinuaIly act a part like that of the
horse il Neil Burgess "Vim"-to
keep up the tramp with all the yigor
imaginable and have the ground
beneath recede at a corresponding
rate, so that not an inch
of space is gained after all
the exertion. And yet, PAR
ties with underlying principles
infinitely superior to those of the
Liberals, and containing men whose
calibre was perhaps greater than
and whose moral worth was not in
ferior to any within the badly dis
cipiined ranks of the Utah minority
have done that very thing and KEEP
it up with each recurring election
till victory 50 long wOoed was a
| last won. Take for example th'
republican party; in its infancy i
could accomplish nothing even il
its subsequent strongholds; its pro

The cases are not similar, hence
the Liberal party cannot act as did
the republican party. The latter
had Tor it's grand corner stone prin-
ciple as wide as the universe and as
Just as eternal justice itself; that
principle was that all men were
born free aid equal and that they
must live free and equal-enough Of
itself to overcome all opposition by
gradually wearing It's way into the
minds and hearts of those who at
first opposed it. Has the Liberal
party any such doctrine within its
political creed? If it has, it would
be fitting thing to show it.
No; the opponents of the majority
in Utah rely upon bigoted opposi-
ton to areligiOn, with a social war
now and threatened military war
hereafter against the adherents of
that religion; they do not appeal to
mems minds as they ought
but to their passions; do not
seek to reach the heart
by good precerg and better
example, Tut to crush out natural
feeling and trample on everything
which their opponents hold sacred.
1t IS no wonder they are discour-
aged; net at all surprising that their
encouragement is beginning to find
a voice in the utterances Of disguised
members Of their organization who
want to abandon a field already lost
to them now and hereafter.

THE GREAT STRIKE.

At y o'clock, noon, yesterday,
Washington time, the operators in
the various Offices of the Western
Union Telegraph Company to the
number Of 1900 closed their keys,
put on their hats and coats, and
withdrew, leaving, in many cases,
unfinished business on the tables.
This action for a time created con-
siderable confusion, no withstand
ing the fact that the movement had
been anticipated Cor several days,
and the company was at least fore
warned. It was of course impos-
sible to fully provide against pro-
ceeding of such Widespread and
sweeping proportions, and tho op-
erations Of the company were
correspondingly paralyzed.
In Salt Lake the operators of the
company Withdrew in a body,
leaving only the manager OF the
Office 10 attend to the business; he
soon succeeded, however, in obtain
ing some little local assistance,
and the receipt and transmission
of dispatches went ahead as usual,
excepting. OF course, some little IN
ayoidable delay. This, from what
meagre tidings we have been able
to gather, seems to have been the
case with all the important offices
on the company's lines, all, OF
nearly all the old employees throw
ing up their positions. and assistance
from other sources coming along
Immediately, but slowly.
The cause of this immense move
ment was demand on the part O.
the operators for shorter hours ant
higher prices, they demanding
among other things that they have
one days rest during the week, OF
in other " ords, that six days work
constitute the week; that eigh
hours constitute a days work, ant
seven hours a nights work, instead
of nine and eight hours respectively
as before; that both sexes be pait
alike for equal work; and that tn
pay be uniformly increased to tn
axtent of IS per cent. All of thes
