Senators who cling londly to the secre'
session are not particularly desirous OIL
going on the record with their votes
against that popular proposition They
resort to the little parliamentary tricks &c
dodge the vote they do not speak against
the measure; there is absolutely no re
corded thing to show that they are doing
their level best to perpetuate tho system
Of assussinalipg character in star chamber
This il one Of the hopeful signs When
men in public life are corneted 10 ina,
thew do not wish to be caught red'handed
IN opposition to q measure, that measure
ia on the road to triumph. In his strong
and ringing speech the other day Senator
Logan declared that already the battle il
practically won. THE doors will be
opened" lie said, mark what tell you
md it will not be long, either"
Logan twitted tho Senators on the ten
der subject Of Senatorial leakage-rOaSlsd
the weak brethren in full view otall the
world. He knew that secrets Of tho star
chamber did get out, and he knew that
they were not given out byfhVolicers Of
the Senate. Since Senators we're bound
to secrecy, he concluded that the solemn
conclaye must be betrayed by the iurni'
ture o fthe chamber.
Logan is a Senator Of long experience
When he declares that thereis not single
reason for sitting with closed doors, and
gives OF his own knowledge conclusive rea'
SOM for opening tho doors, popular iudg'
,nent, which cries Away with the secret
session." cannot he altogether at fault

Mr.. Beecher has been visiting his early
home, indianapolis, and Monday morn
ing attended the ministers meeting. He
told several good stories about his own
work in that part Of the vineyard, and one
OF these was regarding baptism. Some-
times the ministers united Tor a public i'm
m%ersion. On one Of these occasions Mr..
BeeCher had a big carpenter on hand who
was nearly seven feet tall. The preacher
and the candidate for baptism walked into
the water together and when Mr.. Beecher
was in nearly to his shoulders the car
penter was hardly wetting his knees. The
situation was becoming embarrassing to
both gentlemen, rs II was quite evident
that to find water Of sufficient depth COM
fortably to wet the candidate Mr.. BseCher
would have to swim. Being a carpenter,
the gentleman said he would double up
like o rule, and he proceeded to get on his
knees. In this way he was baptized.

In her younger days she dressed as
payly as the fashions permitted, and 1t
used to be told of her in London that
when she first went there she bought a
brilliant India shawl and wore 1t for sew
oral afternoons while making state calls,
unconscious OF the fact that the trades.

pinned to 1t in staring English letters.
Mrs, Bancroft hada contagious little laugh
and always appreciated the funny things
that she encountered. A few years since,
in calling on Mrs. Cameron in her great
house, with its psthetiCally dim parlor,
Mrs. Bancroft made her way to a deep and

Useful, and now practically indlspen-
able, as the telephone is, 1t has some IL
h rent defects which are very objection
able. One Of these is the inability to
speak through tho telephone so as not to
be heard at the point Of sending Busi-
ness men find this a great obstacle, and
+ therefore often forced to send tele-
ytsmp, TO points outside Of a practicable
messenger delivery, and to use messen-
GERS whero they can be used. The various
devices to overcome this difficulty are not
satisfactory.
Another objection, arising less frequent
" but infinitely greater, is that there Is
no record Of a telephone message. For
this reason, also, kilograms are sent where
they Gun be sent, and where they cannot
be sent business 10 transacted at great risk
by telephone, or at loss Of timo by those
who prefer 10 ioiego the convenience OF
the telephone rather than incur the hazard
Of misunderstanding, abused confidence
and litigation.
A device Tor telephone writing" So
called, has been invented and tested In
New York and Pittsburgh, it Is said
with satisfactory results. With a
pen.llke attachment the sender makes
the forms Of the written chsrac-
tiers, which are at once transferred
TO the tape before him LAS on a stock
"icker") and flashed to the other end,
where there is a simultaneous process
that fixes the message. The impression
made at each end is a fac smile OF the
sender's writing, and there are, therefore,
all the advantages and disadvantages OF
an autograph letter. Tho machines are
offered al Ave dollars each. 1t Is pro-
posed to organize the service In oil the
cities Of the country, perhaps through the
telephone companies, perhaps as a separ-
ate service.
Wonderful q device as the telephone is,
we shall see great improvements in 1t, and
perhaps something that will divide the
field with 1t, as the writing telephone" II
practical will do.

a mere spokesman in the temperance work,
is to emphasize once more the well,under-

leaders, there is no good citizenship, no
rectituds Of purpose or action, unless en-
listed under the Third Party banner.
Francis Murphy may be a professional
temperance evangelist" but he is not a
professional impugner OF motives and
malignel Of character, BE is even able to
understand that a man who does not agree
with him is not necessarily a scOundrel In

the moral props Of society.

tion, and lived in the happiness OF his peo-
pie. One day wbile on his way TO Oeteud
to declare IL free port, and while AT the
heal Of great procession he saw wo-
man at the door of hor cottage IN dejec-
zion. The Emperor dismOunted and asked
the cause OF her grief. She said that her
husband had gone to Ostend TO see tue
Emperor aud had declined TO take her
with him, for, as he was an alien. he could
not understand her loyal enthusiasm, and
to see the ruler for whose kindness and
goodness and greatness she had an un-
speakable admiration, and her disappoint-
ment in not being able TO go and see him
was simply unbearable. The Emperor
Joseph took from his pocket a box deco
rated with diamonds surrounding u pic
ture Of himself, and presented it 10 her,
and when the picture revealed to whom
she was talking she knelt in reverence
and clapped her hands in gladness before
him. The Emperor took the name OF her
husband and the probable place where
he might be found at Ostend, and had him
imprisoned for the three days Of the Em-
perOr's visit, so that the husband return
ing home found that the wife had seen the
Emperor while he had not seen him.
In many families OF this earth the wife,
through the converting grace OF God, has

has conferred upon her the pearl Of great

SALT LAKE CITY, Feb. This morning
raids were made by Deputy Marshal
on the residences of George Q. Cannon,
of the Mormon first presidency. His sup
posed latest polygamous wife, who had
avoided the service OF summons hereto
fore, and other persons were subpnned
TO appear and testify before the grand
jury. United States District Attorney
Dickson offers a reward of $500 fer the
capture of Mr.. Cannon. The Ter
ritorlal Supreme Court has rem
dered decision sustaining the conviction
of Apostle Lorenzo Snow of unlawful CO.
habitation. The court recites that Snow
in NauvOO first illegally married two
women at one ceremony, and the contract
therefore was null and void. He then
married successIvely other women, all OF
whom he supports and holds out TO the
world as his wives. This is shown by
testimony, while at the same time he
dwells with Minnie, his latest pOlyga-
nous wife, who has three months
old child. The court says this is one Of
the most fragrant cases of polygnmy in
the Territory. and that no error was made
in conVioting Snow. The court also sus-
tains the conviction OF Brigham Young
Hampton Of conspiracy 10 establish dis

testimony disclosed wicked and dis
graceful conspiracy, which must be con-

Gov. Squire, in addition to issuing his

TO the Secretary Of War, the Secretary of

An immense mob is forcing the Chinese
to leave Seattle. The civil authorities

THE TROOPS READY.
The troops at Fort Townsend and Van
couVer are ready to move and are only
awaiting orders from Washington. Much
surprise is expressed that the movement
was arranged 80 quietly. The city is full
OF strangers and 1t is hard to tell whence
they came. 1t is believed by many that the

GEN. GIBBONS REPLY.
PORTLAND, ORE, Feb. 7.-Advlces from
Vancouver say Gen. Gibbon has answered
Gov. Squire that he could not send troops
TO Battle without direct orders from the
President, and they have not yet been
received. The report that the Knights
of Labor headed the mob to expel
Chinese seems to have no foundation.
While there were members of the Organi-
zatiOn in the mob, there is no evidence
whatever that the Knights as an Organi-
zation were connected with the move
ment.
VIOLENCE IN THE COKE REGIONS.
MOUNT PLEASANT, PA, Feb. THE
strikers held meetings at different places
throughout the coke regions to-day, and
decided to march in body to Scottdale
tomorrow to attend mass meeting. The
week closed yesterday with several Oc-
currences of character which shows the
determination and desperation of the
strikers. A number of men who have
been working in the pits received letters
bearing the insignia Of death, with cOffius
and daggers rampant, while the inscription
warned them 10 stop work Immediately
under penalty of death. The missives
were spotted with blood, and exhibited a
very sanguInary appearance. At noon
yesterday about 40 strikers discovered
three men at work loading stock coke at
BOyles' Bridgeport works. The work
men started TO run, when the strikers
gave chase, firing at the fugitives
and abandoning the pursuit when
they were satisfied that the men would
not attempt to return to work. The night
previous when the cars were run into the
Boyle works a baud of strikers, armed
with guns and revolvers, lay behind the
ovens nearly the entire night to prevent
any attempt at resuming work. The
miners are thoroughly posted on every
move Of the operators. being in constant
