Washington warned his countrymen
against entangliug alliances with for
eign powers, and hitherto his advice has
been respected. We have warned off
the European monarchies from med
ding with the affairs of this continent,
and we have kept aloof from theirs.
But the presence of representatives of
the United States at the Congo confer
enee seems to foreshadow a change OF
policy in this respect. The present
conference seems to contemplate
a Joint guarantee or protectorate
of the Congo valley by all the
powers. securing its neutrality, and
the entire freedom of trade there. As
representatives of the United States
take part IN the conference, it is pre-
sumed TO be the purpose of the presl-
dent that the United States shall be a
party 70 any arrangement which may
be agreed upon. Ii the United States
should be a party to this arrangement,
Washington's policy of avoiding en-
tangling alliances should be acknowl-
edged to be obsolete, for the reason that
however wise it may have been, for
people of three millions, inhabiting a
few thousand square miles of sea-eoast
between the ocean and the boundless
wilderness, may be unbeeoming to a
nation of sixty millions, who have COW
cred the whole width of the continent
with their homes, who are greater and
richer, with larger resources and more
assured future than any other nation II
the world. But the whole matter must
come before the senate, in the form OF
a treaty, and then we shall know the
views of our statesmen upon 1t.

UTAH.


STRINGENT MEASURES SUGGESTED.
The report of the Utah commission will be
read with interest. 1t discloses the results of
recent legislation looking to the prevention
and punishment of polygamy in that terri
tory. I still believe that if that abominable
practice cannot be suppressed by law, it can
only be dealt with by the most radical legis-
lation consistent with the restraints of the
constitution / again recommend, therefore,
that congress assume absolute political con-
troll of the Territory of Utah, and provide
for the appointment of a commission, with
such governmental powers as in its iudg-
ment may justly and wisely be put into their
hands

American journalism is having great
effect upon English newspapers, in more
ways than one. TheLondon Times. the
great thunderer, has been compelled to
keep pace with the spirit of the times.
and sweeping away the musty traditions
OF British journalism, comes to the
front with Sunday edition. A very
few years ago. the man who limited at
the publication of a new spaper in Eng
land on Sunday was regarded as rank
hereto, and in fact treated with a cold
ness which rarely made him breach the
subject more than once.

The dairying business has greatly in
creased IN the Northwest, especially in
Iowa and Minnesota, owing in a great
measure to the establishment of cream
leries and the zeal of those who have
.profted thereby. But the most sa-
gacious farmers do not advocate dairy
farms exclusively. They realize that
the evils attending exclusive wheat
raising, may follow exclusive dairying.
and that diversified farming is what pays
best in the long run. Cattle, hogs,
sheep, poultry, bees, corn, wheat and
other creals, and dairying with the rest,
afford surer prospects of independence
than any one by itself.

The recent elections in Germany for
the Reichstag go to show that Socialism
Is on the increase. The general suppo-
sition was that only few malcontents
in the towns We're committed to Social
ism, but $50, 900 votes were cast for the
socialistic candidates has set the gov
eminent to thinking. An analysis OF
the vote ordered by the Imperial Chan
celor shows that the bulk of the new re-
cruits to Socialism are moderate men
who desire redress for the more cry
ing evils resulting from an over jealous
enforcement of repressive laws. Prince
Bismarck has taken the matter IN hand
and promises to make certain moderate
concessions. In this manner he has di-
vided the deputies elected by the Social
lists, and viii defeat the objects of the
more unreIenting of the malcontents.

A Boston lawyer, Miss Leila J. Rob
inson, has lately removed to Washing
ton territory which is an excellent field
for lawyer other sex. Miss Robinson
is not one of the Belva Lockwood varle-
ty of woman lawyers, who make notorie-
ty substitute for legal knowledge, but
she has had a careful and thorough
professional education, which, with a
mind naturally acute and forcible, and
valuable experience in some branches
of practice before leaving Boston,
makes q solid basis for genuine and
legitimate success in her profession.
The bar of the territory, which includes
some lawyers of more than ordinary
talent and learning, has formed a
favorable opinion of her abilities, and
it is said that she is likely to be elected
a Judge when the people having adj
vanced beyond the territorial stage,
can elect their own judges.

EDDORSEY'S DEMOCRACY.

fer him 30 Democrat, and every man ell
ec,ed rs an '-indepcndent" will be full

be worse Democrat than Tomilson if he
could be- United States marshal-Common-
wealth.
Yes, and L. A. Dorses is running for the
senate in this district, not exactly as an indie
pendent, but rs regular nominee of
the Democratic party, hut claims that he
is an independent on the Senatorial ques-
ton. ANY Republicans who vote for Ed
Dorsey expecting that he will vote for John
j. ingalls, will get left, we don't care how
solemly he may promise to do SO. lie has
refused t" say through this, or any other pa
per. publicly how he would or would not
vote because he is compelled to straddle UNI
until after the election is over 10 get the
Democratic haters Of ingalls, upon one side
to vote for him and the Republican admir-
erers of Ingalls, upon the other side to vote
for him.
The EAGLE makes the prediction that
should Cleveland be elected and Ed Dorsey
go to the senate, J.. \. Dorsey would be the
most powerful, most influential Democrat in
this conty-the big toad of the Democratic
Puddle. Does any man of sense doubt il?

The Meeting in Union.

HATFIELD, Oct -.
7o the Editor If The Daily Eagle,
The Republicans of this vicinity had q
rousing meeting here thi, evening. The
hall was full TO overlooking with both Dem
ocrats and Republicans.
o. ii. Bentley was the first speaker. For
over an hour he iorcibly presented the ques-
tons at issue nationally and locally.
The second speaker was Robert Lawrence.
He made short but logical speech confined
TO state and county issues
Mr.. W. T.. Hutchinson was introduced as
the speaker of the occasion: His remarks
was confined 10 very interesting lescrip-
ton of the Democratic and Republican par
ties and their work in the past and their
present attitude toward the vital interests of
the people. He believed that the south
furnishing three-fourths of the electoral vote
TO place the Democrats in power, would
certainly demand the same proportion of
control in the councils and policy Of the
party; il was natural and he knew
these men TO be possessed Of the
courage of their convictions. Had they
not avowed their determination to sweep
the legislation growing out Of the war from
the statute books He eulogixed the deter
mined courage and political sagaci;y of the
Democrats of the south, adverting to the
fact that four new members of the supreme
court would be appointed by the next presi-
dent, among them the chief justice. He be-
ieved that the Democrats would take up the
case Of Justice fancy and remodel the code

and doing all kinds Of work in his line.
Messrs Phillips & Fincher have built a
large implement house and viii soon fiji it
with all kinds of farm implements and ma
chnery. They are well acquainted with the
business and are worthy share ofthe public
patronage.
ESQ. Ross is building fine residence, and
is nearly completed.
A new corn and feed mill has been built
and is ready for business.
Several farms have been bought by east
ern men the past two weeks, and will be oc-
cupied by them in the spring.
A clerk in Mr.. Fitchheimer's store re-
ceived fall, striking upon the back of his
head or neck, which perfectly paralyzed his
whole system, and since has been in a very
critical condition. His recovery is very
doubtful.
With the steady growth which our town
is now experiencing. the time is not far dis

to suit Democratic policy and prepare the
way to work by the courts and general legis-
lation a political revolution of a most start
ling and radical nature. Mr. Hutchison
presented a new train Of thoughts to his
listeners, which was well received.
Mr.. Jones followed next in a humorous
talk Of short duration, which created much
merriment, and the meeting then adj
journed.
After adjournment Messrs. Newton and
Williams and their ladies all substantial ex-
citizens of western New York, and now
good Democrats and citizens of the Happy
Valley, heaped Goals of fire on the heads of
the radical" speakers by entertaining them
with both bed, board and good cheer, after
they had heard them abuse their party for
three long hours. Certainly there is "no

ST. JOHNS FLOP ON THE TARIFF

The following is an extract from a speech
delivered by John 7. st. John in Buffalo,
y. Y, Oct. "a:
Il have been workingman, | know what
it is to WELD a pick in mine to chop cord
wood and to swing a scythe. ! have always
been a protectionist, but | begin to think
| have been in error. | see the farmers
without market: ! see the mills and man
ufactories of the country shutting down.
see men out of work. What is the trouble.
The tariff which the Republicans promised
should give us good times, has been kept up
but the Republican promise has not been
kept. believe now that the tariff protects
the monopolsts ten times more than it does
the workingmen."
When the writer last talked with John p.
St. John, during his recent visit to Kansas
and since his nomination for president, he
was as strong an advocate of protective tar
if as James G. Blaine. There is no excuse
for this sudden flop, no reason or explana-
ton except that he has joined hands with
the Democracy to destroy the Republican
party He stated to james +. Legate in n
recent interview in New York that 81 will
teach the Republican party that there is II
God in Israel" The cause for which John
L. st. John deserted the Republican party
seems to have become secondary with him
to the success of Democracy. His senti-
ments are Democratic, and his abuse of the
Republican nominees and the party and
lis platform points Enthusiastically to the
great wish now controlling him, viz: To
assist the Democratic party TO defeat Repub-
licaniSm. Governor IT. John does not de-
deserve the vote of single Republican Pro-
hibitionist. His ambition is now to make
himself national power and to become such
he throws himself into the hands of the
Democracy as an alley. Much as we have
believed in and worked for st. John in the
past, we are convinced that his present
course makes him q traitor to the Republic
can Prohibitionists Of Kansas, and that he is
undeserving the compliment Of one single
vote in the state.
Prohibitionists of Kansas should, before
giving Governor ST. John vote, remember
that his effort to-day to place the Democ-
racy in power would set back tho cause of
prohibition twenty years.-Capital.
