Territories should be permitted, as a right in
herent in them, to form for themselves con-

be selected from the bona ide residents and

mediately admitted as a State in the Union,
under the Constitution framed and adopted
by the people, and we heartily indorse the
action Of the Republican Senate in twice
passing bills for her admission. The refusal
of the Democratic House of Representatives,
for partisan purposes, to favorably consider
American principle of local self-government,
and merits the condemnation of all just men.
The pending bills in the Senate for acts to en-
able the people of Washington, North Dakota
and Montana Territories to form constitutions
and establish State governments should be
passed without unnecessary delay. The Re-
publican party pledges itself to do all in its
power to facilitate the admission of the Terri

as States, such of them as are now qualified,
as soon as possible, and the others as soon as
they may become so.
The political power of the Mormon Church

is a menace to free institutions, too dangerous

Republican party to appropriate legislation

in furtherance of that end to place upon the
statute books legislation stringent enough to
divorce the political from the ecclesiastical
power, and thus stamp out the attendant
wickedness of polygamy.

COWBOY AND SPOOK.
A Stern Chase After a Ghost on
the SWeetWater.
Historic independence Rock Said to
be Haunted.
1t was the Scene of Many Killings
in Early Days.

This is hardly the season for ghost
stories, but one which reached the ears
of a reporter last evening may entertain
those fond of spook lore. THE LEADER
can vouch for the reliability of all persons
mentioned except the ghost itself. The
narrative runs in this Wise:
Joe Healey, a rollicking cowboy who
rides the range for the Carlisle Cattle
company, was engaged IN transferring a
bunch of horses from one ranch on the
S%weetwater to another and passed the his
torical Independence rock after nightfall.
When near the noted landmark Joe was
nearly scared out of his wits and his
charges almost stampeded by the appear
ance Of a ghostly apparrition across the
trail. The figure was that of a man and
white in color. The outlines were clearly
defined but the cowboy is unable to de-
scribe the costume of the unearthly tramp.
Healey, who is a quick witted chap of
great nerve, hurried his horses to a corral
about a mile distant and returned to visit
the uncanny thing. The goblin damned,
like the village maiden, was over modest
and kept its distance. At times it foated
rapidly through the air and again locomo-
ted steady by Jerks, as the toad walks.
The adventurous puncher purposed to
drive the ghost into the horse herd and
then rope it. He was unsuccessful, how
avar lint ayboretoJ H., a, IL
emptied his six shooter in the attempt,
and what more could be required of an
honest Cowboy
As is usually the case the ghosts finally
melted away, leaving the pursuer COM
pletely mystiied. Another cowboy met
with a similar adventure in the same To-
cality last year, and every range-rider in
that region swears by the Chicago market
that the place is sure enough haunted. "
independence rock was a famous land
mark in the days of the argonauts.
Every '49er gazed upon the natural mon
ument, and nearly all of them registered
on the soft stone, using a knife in lieu of
pen. 1t was here that the notorious
Jack Slade, afterwards lynched at Vir-
ginia City, Nevada, had a slight misun-
d~erstanding with three men and settled
all disputes by killing the trio. Slade
was a tough customer, and dangerous
when on the war path.
A company of United States cavalry
and a party of hostile Indians had a con-
troversy at Independence rock one day
about twenty or thirty years ago. In the
course of the discussion several red men
were permanently converted and a soldier
so badly disabled hat he died soon after.
When about to mount the golden stairs
this ca%valryman, who was a iocose tender
foot from Ohio, congratulated himself
that he had at any rate cheated the foe
out of a first class, curly-headed scalp.
The writer does not pretend to be in
possession of pointers on the spook bust
ness, but the apparation may be that of
one of SHADES victims, the jocose soldier
or an Indian who lost his bearings in the
happy hunting grounds.
