UTAH'S DESPOTS.
The Mormon's Under the Thumb of
Their Priesthood.

The Mormon's Under the Thumb of
Their Priesthood.
WASHINGTON, Oct. 2z-The annual re-
port of Gov. West of Utah has been made
public. In the course of his remarks upon
the Mormon question the governor says:
"Notbing can jxstify the despotism of the
Mormon political system to a people
who have known and appreciate the bless
ings of free government The unity of
church and state is perfect and indissoluble.
Ii is based upon complete and absolute CON
x9l of tho priesthood, welding supreme
power, exercised and yielded TO as eman-
ating Immediately from God in all things
secular as we'll as spiritual. The word of
the priesthood is TO the Mormon people a
command OF God not only in matters Of
faith aud morals, but in ali civil, political
and CONNER ial affairs. This priesthood
no. Only rules the church, but governs the
state
AS THEoCRATIC AS IN oLDEN TIMES.
The governor says he has no religious
controversy With the Mormon people with
polygamy left out of the question, but he
declares that the local civil government
under the Mormons is as theocratic as that
Of the ancient Hebrews. Pending a
settlement of the question Of
admitting Utah into tho union, the
governor recommends the appointment
by congress of committee with full
authority to make complete and thorough
investigation of the civil as well as the
religious conditions heretofore and now
prevailing in the territory. Justice to the
whole country, the governor says as well
as 10 the Mormoo and non Mormon people
require such an investigation TO be made.

This shows that more funds will be needed
even with the closest economy, and every
department now is looked after as carefully
as any private business. The outlook is
very discouraging.
A meeting of the citizens of Jacksonville
will be held at the board of trade rooms on
Monday at IL o'clock to hear the report of
the special committee appointed to present
a plan for the formation of the Daniel Me-
mortal Association.
1t is the general impression now that the
proposed trips of the Clyde line steamships
between New York and Mayport in connec-
ton with the DeBarrY river line of steam
ers, will have to'be postponed owing to the
yellow fever at Enterprise, where the river
steamers have been moored for several
weeks.
Heavy rains fell to-day.
There is no communication with Enter
prise. as the telegraph operator has left
there. Some slight encouragement at
continued increase of new cases is mani
tested

vinced of the ultimate success of his own
scheme. The speech was much applauded.

The Berkshire Woolen Company, of Great
harrington, of which A. Russell is presi-
dent, with capital of 100000, suspended

dollar. The mill employed 800 hands.

Doctors love joke even if one of there

late YOU on being fired from Sanford.
What did you do to the Sandfordites to
thus have them send you off,"
To this Dr. Wylly replied: II found fever
at Enterprise, and they were afraid
might find it at Sanford"

EDMUNDS' SILENCE.
The Tunnel Fraud Instead of Harrison
Occupying His Time.

Occupying His Time.
WASHINGTON, Oct. H-Senator Ed
munds will return TO Washington to-mor-
row, and on Monday committee meeting
Will be held in the room of the committee
on the judiciary, of which he is chairman.
1t is rather surprising to some of the
friends Of Gen. Harrison thGt the Vermont
senator should return here i'll the midst of
the campaign, and they call attention 30
the fact that he is not taking tho active
part in the presidential campaign this year
that he did four years ago, when he gave
such hearty support to his friend, Mr.
Blaine.
VERY BUSY.
Senator Edmunds is a busy man, how
ever, and his public duties prevent him
from taking the stump for his old friend
and colleague, Gen. Harrison. Among the
statesmen who are daily raising their voices
in behalf of the Republican party in the
doubtful states, the name Of the Vermont
senator does not appear, and now that he
if he meant to keep silent until after cleo
ton day.
NATURE OF HIS BUSINESS.
The nature of the public business that
calls Mr.. Edmunds to Washington at this
time is not definitely known, but it is prob
ably a meeting of the congressional COM
mittee to inquire into the frauds in con-
nection with the building of the recent
aqueduct tunnel. Mr. Edmunds is tho
chairman of the committee, his associates
being Senators Dawes and Faulkner and
Representatives Clements McMillin and
Ryan They will have a report ready to
submit to congress when it meets in Decem-
Der.
The army board appointed to investigate
this same swindle commenced business to-
day by personally going through the tunnel
on an explor ng expedition. They saw
enough in few moments to convince them
that a most outrageous fraud had been per-
petrated on the government. Maj. Ly-
decker, tho army engineer officer who was
responsible for the work, accompanied the
party through the tunnel. Interesting de-
velopments are expected as a result of the
army board investigation and the con-
gressional inquiry.

THE FIRST STEAM ENGINE.
Tho Earliest Locomotive Built A. II.
1896

We give here an engraving Of the first
locomotive engine, designed by the great
Stephenson, that was run In England. Com
pared to our present speedy and elegant
locomotives, that almost out-run the wind,
IL is small and curious affair, practically
q tea Kettle on wheels. And yet 1t was a
magnificent advance over the methods of
locomotion In those days, and was the
basis Of our present glistening and speedy
iron giants whose steel tracks girdle the
world.
And yet, important as was this discovery,
1t, like all others Of like scientific, mechan-
ical, or chemical advances, met with the
most absurd objections, outcries, and oppo-
sition. Jenner, whose discovery has prac-
tically swept the globe Of smallpox; CALI
leo, whose telescope laid the foundations of
labors we owe our present magnificent
electrical devices, were all made martyrs by
their 10ise scientific brethren.
So. 1t is with almost every discovery Of
sterling merit. So It has been with that
great Nervine, Scotch Oats Essence. From
its discovery by DR.. Buckland In 1858
up to few years ago 1t was
sneered, aye, even laughed at by the
medical profession. And yet It has tri-
umpbed, and to-day stands forth the ac-
knowledged head and front Of all such
remedies, honored by savant, sought for by
druggists, and praised and blessed by many
apsralytlc, by many an over-worked man
and nervous woman whose brain was
trembling in the balance; II has soothed
pain, given quiet, sweet, refreshing sleep,
cooled fever, and raised the aching head.
For the nervous diseases of women and of
children IL stands uneuualed,

THE MARY HALL HOUSE
VIII Not be Rented for Colorsd school
Purposes

The committee OF solored citizens charged
to take further action against the renting
Of the Mary Hall house met yesterday. They
sent subcommittee TO wait upon Commits
sioner Webb to learn from him what reply,
II any, would be made to the letter Of Mr..
Atkinson proposing that the Miller building
be used for the colored cooking and indus
trial school and requesting that no public
school be placed In the Mary Hall house.
After apleBsant interview Commissioner
Webb authorized the subcommitte to in
form the general committee that the COM
missioners had been informed that the
cooking and industrial school could be ac-
modated at the Miller building, and that
the chairman Of the committee, Mr.. Ross
Fish, had been sent for and told to place
the two schools In 1t; that no public school
would be placed In the Mary Hall house
unless Superintendent Cook and the local
committee OF the eighth division would
recommend that 1t be done. The subcom-
mittee expressed their entire satisfaction
with the action OF Commissioner Webb, and
assured him that neither Superintendent
Cook nor Trustee Cornish, after learning of
the character OF the surroundings and the
wishes Of the colored citizens, would recon-
mend thai u colored school be placed in the
Mary Hall house.
The general committee upoa hearing the
report of the subcommittee concluded that,
the commissioners having complied with
the requests of the citizens In renting the
Miller building and refraining from renting
the Mary Hall house, there was no reason
for holding public meeting. The Rev.
Messrs. Brooks and Stewart were requested
to announce the favorable decision Of the
commissioners to their congregations, as
they were largely interested in the result.
