If settled determination to refuse
obedience to the law; the persistent use of their
great power and influence to defeat all
efforts from within as we'll as form
without the church to put an end to
polygamy. and their persecution of those per-
sons who desire to obey the law have convinced
the ommission that some more decisive plan to
reduce the powers of the poyeamic element.
and to CORRESPONDENCE increase that of the fed
eral authority in the civil government of Utah
should be presented TO Congress at this time for
its action. In addition to the legislative COM
mission plan above referred to- two others have
been suggested: the appointment plan, making
appointable all Offices now filled by election, and
the Idaho plan, DISTINGUISHING all contributors
to the support of a povgamic church. There
are objections to all of these plans and to any
that could be devised. 1t may be said for the
legislative commission plan that it is simple and
direct; of the appointment plan. that all the
offices, including those of the Legislative AS
sembly remain undsturbed; that they are all
to be filled from the body of the people as now,
by agencies under the control of the federal gov
eminent and that the influence of the same
would be potential; of the Idaho plan, although
a more extreme and more severe remedy than
either of the others. that it reaches TO the very
root of the system.
In conclusion, says the Commission, whatever
may be thought of these suggestions, Congress
would certainly render a service of incalculable
value to Utah. and, indeed, to the whole coun
| try, if it would devise some measure whereby
| these misguided people could be brought out
| from under the thralldom which has so warped
! their minds and their consciences that a crime
| committed in the name of religion is considered
| by them duty and blessing equally to those
| who commit and those who aid, abet or defend
its commission.

KANSAS SILK CULTURE.

A great deal is being said at the pres
ent time relative to the establishment:
upon an extensive scale, Of the silk ln-
dustry in Kansas.
The idea was originated by the Men
nonites shortly after their settlement in
the state and has since been taken up
by others and the experiment SO far
made have resulted favorably indeed.
The principal advantage of this coun-
try for this business seems to be the
case with which the mulberry tree is
propogated, the mulberry leaf being the
natural food of the silk worm.
Mr.. l. Horner, of Emporia, is devot-
ing all his time and attention to the
business and is enthusiastic over his
success. He proposes next year estab-
fishing Keeling station and a market
for cocoons, the government having
made conditional promise of financial
ard to consumate such an enterprise
during the next fiscal year.
There has been reported already to
Mr.. Horner over ton of green cocoons
in this state, and the crop is not vet all
ready to report. Propositions have been
received by Mr. Horner from silk grow
ers of this state to furnish cocoons suf-
ficient to supply 'reeling station for
six months, which would indicate that
the industry has assumed pretty extern
sive proportions. There are several
hundred individuals in Kansas Row en-
ca-ed in the work. Leayenworth Times.

such lift themselves from our list. The

fuse to take the paper out of the post
Office after taking it for two or three
years without paying cent for it-a
plain steal with insult added, or else
they move away without saying word
or paying a nickel. Some others all at
once discover that they never ordered
the paper, never wanted il. or received
it irregularly-not more than half the
time-won' t pay for it. In either case
it is cowardly snap, such as an honest
man would not be guilty of. The prop
cr way to stop paper is to pay up FIRST
and stop the paper afterwards. If you
are gentleman, asd don't owe cent,
walk into the office, look the gentleman
in charge full in the eye, and tell him
YOU don wish it, or can't afford to
keep it longer. Ii you are on the hog
