London Cable The government of Switz-
erland is initiating the example of its Austrian
neighbor and waging war against Mormon
propagandists. The federal council at Bale
has formally resolved that the work of the
Mormon missionaries in Switzerland is a great
and growing evil, and that their converts or

The German reichstag-1S0 to 97-adopted
resolution in favor of the payment of its men,
bers for their services as legislators. The
resolution was strongly opposed by Bismarck.
The result is considered a signal defeat for
Bismarck Bismarck said he considered the
new Liberals, Socialists and Peoples Party
were all reF blicans He admitted his former
misgivings that the action of federal govern
ments might ieopardze the unity of the en-
pire had proven unfounded but for the last
ten years he had not seen a reichstag which
could be called national body. He strongly
disapproved of the principles of the new hber-
ais, and pointed out that the affairs of the
country will remain at a stand still unless the
government is IN accord with the reichstag and
bundesrath, which latter is the more important
body.

Dakota Measures in Congress.

Washington Special:
Delagate Maginnis' bill to abolish the mill
tary reservation Of Fort Rice in Dakota and op-
en- it to settlement is before the committee of
the whole in the house, as are also Mr.. Nell
sons bills. Bills to accept and ratify agree
ments made with the Sioux to grant right Of
way to the Chicago, Milwaukee & St Paul
Railway company through the big Sioux
reservation, and to accept and ratify agree
ments made with the Sioux to grant
right of way to the Dakota Cen
tral Railway company through the
same reservation. Another Dakota bill before
the committee is one to establish an assay
Office at Deadwood. Here too, is the home
stead monument bill, for which score of
Dakota towns would claim the honor of dona-
ting site and bonus, if 1t ever gets past the
presidents desk. The bill introduced by Mr.
Clardy of Missouri to authorize Missouri river
commission (similar to the Mississippi river
commisson) to superintend and carry into
execution the plans for the improvement
of the navigation of said river from
its mouth to its headwaters, is in the
same embryo state before the committee of
the whole. 1t obviously claims the support
Of Dakota and Montana, if not of Minnesota,
Nebraska and Iowa, whose citizens are all
| more or less interested. The only Dakota
| measure on the calendar ready for a vote
| is that vacating all of the Fort Randall
military reservation east of the Missouri.
| Far down on the senate calendar, ready for
| some sort of action, are two or three import
ant Dakota bills. One is the last report OF
the committee on territories on the subject
| of division. This bill ''to enable the people OF
that part of the Territory of Dakota south of the
foIty-sixth parallel Of north latitude to form a
constitution and state government, and for the
admission of the state into the Union on an
equal footing with the original states, and fol
other purposes" This is the only measure
left over from last winter relating to the divs-
ion Of the territory. The committee on educa-
ton reported favorably bill to encourage In
dian education in Dakota, and this measure il
ready for vote, but the bill stands far down
| on the calendar.

The last issue Of Harper's Weekly |
Contained sn editorial from the pen
OF George William Curtis, who stood
go imperturbably amid the reckless tenn
pest of enthusiasm which went up
and surged through the convention
building when the nomination OF Blaine
hsd bseH effected, while Carl Sehurz took
out his watch with the remark that he
wished to note the exact time the Rspub-
lioan party died The closing paragraphs
are as follows;
at is true that the Republican party is
always strong in the weakness of the Demo
cratic opposition but that is negative
strength. The Democratic party really stands
for nothing butsopposition and a repulslye
tradition. The endesyor to identify it with
any definite policy except that which is known
as general cussedness" fails but that is not
an argument which can elect President.
The nomination OF Mr.. Blaine-although it is
| doubtless agreeable to the majority of the
| party, as shown at Chicago, because a large
part OF the apparent opposition, as in
the Indiana and Illinois, and even in
the Ohio delegation, was friendly to
| his nominAtion-ought to alarm honest
Republicans as showing how dangerously far
the Republican standard has fallen The
nominations at Chicago made against the
most friendly Republican rem insurance. have
forced upon Republicans the conviction that
the great objects of the Republican party
honest and economical administration, peace

sense of general security which springs from
the moral elevation Of the administration
