THE LATEST FROM UTAH.

The latest news from Utah is to the eff
feet that the Mormon leaders have come
to the conclusion that they can buy State
hood, and thus end all their woes. They
propose TO do this by the expenditure of
S1,0O0,000. They mistake; the figure is
too small. The dominant majority of the
lower House Of Congress cannot be bought
for that sum. The boys" will want three
times that amount for 50 big" dob"
Such dickers come only once in a lifetime
The opportunity to make State rarely
offers, and when one does, the applicant for
the new honor must be bled freely. While
the new resolution testifes to the cunning
of the Mormon priests, If Is evidence also
of their Interpretation OF the value of
the services of the Washington lobby. So.
too, while it illustrates the desperateness
of the plural-marriageites, it also exposes
the estimate in which the average Demo
cratic Congressman is held by the Nor
mons. There may be reason, after all, for
the rejoicing in which the Saints INDUCED
over the Democratic triumph in Novem-
Der. The Mormons may have counted
noses in advance, and know exactly the
cost Of EACH if so. Democrats are selling
cheap-too cheap; out of power they rated
very low; in power they are worth very
great deal more than most people suppose.
But cheap or dear, there are two bars to
the Mormon schema Republican Senate
and Democratic President, who declares
the polygamy of Utah to be an ofense to
the whole people. How the Bishops and
Council of Church Presidents in Utah pro-
pose to get over these two remains to be
seen.

up, and the people greatly confused as to
who held lawful authority. The Repub-
lie, however, recognized at no time any
other authority than that of the President !
elected in 1888. Another election Is to
take place this year, and its approach APP
pears to have given the rebels new hopes
lust what we can do in the matter of the
Aspinwall outrage is, therefore, matter OF
doubt, beyond protecting Americans and
their property and the Panama railway.
What renders our situation more peculiar
is the fact that the Colombian Government
does not recognize the present difficulties
on the lsthmus as nearly so serious as we
regard them, and very pointedly informs
lis that it is entirely capable of restoring
peace to the country, and of furnishing the
insurgents. The hasty complaint that the
United States ship-ofwar at Aspinwall,
when the city was captured by the insurgent
chief, did not shell the place, is foolish.
Nothing could have been gained by such
proceeding. The legitimate forces OF the
country were engaged against the rebels,
and to have shelled the place would have
been to infiict injury upon our friends, and
have done none whatever to the aand of
raiders, who had nothing to lose. We are
guaranteed bv the Colombian Government,
under the treaty of 1916, unln-
terrupted transit across the lsthmus,
and given the right of 4 protectorate over
the rail route at any time when the local
Government is powerless. 1t is probable
that neither the State of Panama nor the
republic of Colombia will question our
right to determine when that state of at
fairs exists and when it is at an end. So
far. then, as the rail route and the trans
isthmian commerce are concerned We can
establish our troops for the purposes Of
protection. But if the insurgents are in
earnest in their rebellion they are very
likely to invade that protectorate, and then
will arise the question as to what extent
we snail engage IN the local struggle 90
far as the destruction of Aspinwall is con-
cerned it has inflicted heavy commercial
loss upon American and French citizens,
who will put forward their claims; but in
another light it is an event of good. Prob
ably no foreign port with which we have
intimate relations was 50 intolerably filthy.
1t was veritable pest breeding-house.
The city will be rebuilt, for the business
interests of the isthmus demand it, but as
the Colombian Government is the most
progressive of South American Govern
ments it is probable that it will require
some attention to be given to sanitary laws
in the reconstruction of the place.

The Guatemalan Northern Railway
Barrios' Treatment of His Polite;
Opponents


New York, April Sth.-The .Su, says
When President Barrios of Guatemala
began TO build the Guatemala Northern
Railroad from the Capital to the Atlantic
lS5 miles, General Gordon and J. H.
Lyman were thinking of taking a contract
to build part of the road. Last fall they
sent an agent and Colonel Crandal as Chief
Engineer, to see about it. Crandall re-
turned TO New York Saturday. Yesterday
he said The Guatemala Northern is a
failure They have one road from Guat-
emala to the Pacific some seventy miles
long but this road to the Atlantic coast
will not be built till the troubles are at an
end. Most of the road is graded and four
or five miles of rails are laid but the Gov
ernment cannot float any bonds now. and
until 1t can, the road will not be built

kind of work. Three or four of the Sena-
tors worked against him at the last election,
but unfortunately, they died suddenly
next morning. He forces them to elect
him. Every man who votes has to write
his name on his ballot, and if man signs
