AUTONOMOUS.

An anti-Mormon lobby has been es-
tabliShed in Washington. Possibly it is
not necessary, for it is hardly conceiv-
able that congress would so far forget
itself as to grant statehood to terri
tory majority of whose people have
persistently broken the laws of the
country and glOried iii it. But the Nor
mons are wealthy. They can afford to
spend good deal of money for the pur-
pose of procuring legislation, and they
intend to do it.
The continued control of the territory
means good deal to the polygamists.
If they can secure statehood now, while
they have a small majority, they can
control the government of the new state
and continue their evil practices at will,
in spite of the national law. But their
majority is fast decreasing. 1t is now
barely 500. If the territorial form of
government can be maintained for a
few years longer, the Gentiles or anti
MormOns are sure they will be in con-
troll, and that they will then be able to
settle the Mormon problem themselves.
1t is for this purpose, not to procure
but to check legislation, that the Gentle
lobby has been organized. Its object is
a meritorious one, and should enlist the
sympathy of every congressman.

THE SENATE AND DAKOTA.

With that calm Indifference to public
opinion which sometimes characterizes
legislators, the United States senate,
or rather the Republican portion of it,
goes ahead in its preparation of bill
to divide Dakota, admit one half as
state and form territory out of the
other, with the view of eventually max
ing state out of it too.
1t makes no difference to these sena-
torial schemers that the people most i'll
terested, the Dakotians themselves.
have declared in favor of the one-state
idea; and to the fact that Dakota's only
chance of admission is as one state
they are equally Indifferent. There can
be no question as to DakOta's right to
admission. She deserved statehood long
ago, and she should have had it. But it
does not aid her cause any to have those
who profess to be her friends pursue a
course of action in direct opposition to
her wishes, and which will inevitably
succeed only in defeating the aims pro-
posed.
AS one state Dakota has a fighting
chance for admission at this session of
congress; as two states she would have
no chance at all, and the senatorial big
wigs who pretend to be aiding her
know this as well as any one.

INFLUENCE OF PUGILISAI.

A Boston contemporary has been
gathering the views of men prominent
in various walks of life upon the ten
dency and influence of pugilism. The
appropriateness of journal published
in city which has the distinguished
honor of being the home of Pugilist
SULLIVAN performing the task will he
at once manifest. The result is inter-
esting. While most Ct the gentlemen
quoted can hardly find words strong
enough to condemn pugilism, and even
include sparring in their fierce denun-
citation, there are others, equally emf
nent, who do not find its influence
wholly bad. With these we are inclined
to agree.
PugiIism in itself. the actual fighting
of prize fight, can not be otherwise
than pernicious, evil in itself and brutal
in its immediate tendencies. But then
it should be remembered that it is only
a class with which the drawing of moral
distinctions is lost art, that as rule is
directly interested in prize fights. There
is not much danger that pugilism Will
be communicating in its influences upon
InClll, upOi IilC plluClplO Ildb oil cSS
already spoiled could not be made much
worse.
The great mass of the people are only
interested in pugilism in so far as the
reading of the published accounts of the
fight is concerned. Upon them the
effect can hardly be bad, and in many
instances is undoubtedly good. For,
with the spirit of enthusiasm to which
accounts of any kind of contest requir-
ing courage and manliness must give
rise, some of those who follow the re-
ports of ring contests are led to acquire
the art of Self-defense, which. in the
sense of security without weapons
which it confers, is highly desirable.
The more general the knowledge of
sparring the less general becomes the
pistol-carrying habit. And. in so far as
it brings about the abolition of the prac-
ice of carrying concealed weapons,
pugiliSm is entitled to credit.

as the McENERy faction Is In control OF
the state organization they will prob
ably attempt to shape the temporary Or
ganization of the convention to-day In
the interests of their candidate. If this
is done the NICHOLS faction will prob
ably bolt. If it is not done the Nc
Emery faction will as probably with
draw from the convention. In either
event the Republicans stand ready to
offer fusion with the boiling faction.
1t is feared that the breach between the

stimulates corruption. 1t tempts the
big establishments to combine and crush
out the little ones. And thus step by
step protection has led industrial life i'm
America astray, until the field of fair
competition has been abandoned and
the entire business of the country is be-
ing concentrated into the hands of few
constituencies money kings. The result
is the rapid establishment in this coun-
try of system of feudalsm which will
bring ninety-nine one-hundredths of
the population into condition of serf-
dom.
There is only one way out of the i'm
pending danger. 1t is by reyisal of
the processes by which it was brought
into existence. Congress legiSlated
trusts into being. Congress must
deprive them of the life which it gave
them. If the protection idea is the par
ent stem of the vine which has borne
such poisonous fruit, then the AK must
be laid at the root. A revision and re-
adjustment of the tariff until it is
brought down to strictly revenue basis
and kept there is the only rational
treatment.

LOUISIANA POLITICS.

The Louisiana Democrats meet in
convention to-day to nominate a state
ticket, and there is bare possibility
that their action may result i'll the dis
ruption of the Democratic party in the
state. The canvass between MCENERY
and NICHOLS for the gubernatorial NOM
ination has been the bitterest and most
exciting ever known in the state, which
is famous for exciting political cam
paigns,an has resulted in the organiZa-
tien of two factions in the Democratic
party, apparently as hostile toward each
other as IL they belonged to opposing
political parties. Gov. McENERY has
served two terms and desires third.
The opposition to his renomina-
ton concentrated OH Gen. F.. T..
NICHOLS. The result of the primaries
last week was favorable to NICHOLS,
although the seats of nearly 200 dele
gates will be contested. If these con-
tests are settled on their merits
NICHOLS will get the nomination. but

Below zero.
A Merry PROPOSITION.

We tender Kansas City the assurance
of our admiration for her supreme nerve
and eonceit, commonly called gall.
Kansas City, which is about as undeSir-
able place to linger in as could we'll be
imagined, has conceived the idea that it
would be an excellent thing to have the
permanent headquarters and meeting
place of the G.. A. R. in that city.
With no little energy she has started
out to attempt to put her idea into eff
feet. Unlike most Western cities, how
ever, which formulate plans for BOOM
ing themselves, the Raw metropolis
wants somebody else to pay the ex-
penseS. Accordingly she proposes that
the 100000 veterans contribute 81 each
to aid in the preliminary expenses to-
ward establishing permanent head
quarters.
The audacity of the proposition is SIM
ply amazing. Even if it were desira-
bic to have fixed headquarters Kan
sas City would be the last place chosen.
In summer it is desert of dust, and in
winter sea of mud. With the excep-
lion of its railway facilities it hasn't a
single advantage. But even if the am
bilious Missouri city possessed every
possible attraction, it still would not be
chosen as the permanent meeting place
of the G.. A. Il.
At their annual reunions the veterans
want change. They don't want to be
confined to one place. They hold these
annual gatherings largely for social pur-
poses, and they desire variety. To
many of them it is the one pleasure of
of the year to attend the reunions, and
that pleasure is largely added to if they
can look forward to visiting different
city each year.

FOR US.

The Old Year went out weeping,
l heard him moaning loud,
AS he gathered his cloudy garments
About him for a shroud.
The New Year came in weeping,
1 heard him wall and sigh;
He came as the newborn babe comes
Whose speech is but cry.
Were they weeping for the dyingf
Were they weeping for the deadf
Nay, nayl for us, the living.
For US their tears are shed.
Por us, the fiefs of sorrow,
For us, the heirs Of hope,
Born of the Light Eternal,
Who in the darkness grope.
For us, who wait in bondage,
And draw our bitter breath;
Who yearn to go, yet linger.
Who live, yet long for death.

PROTECTION AND TRUSTS,

There is no more truth in that old
motto which we have seen so often i'm the
corner grocery, saying Trust is Dead"
AS a matter of fact Trust is not dead.
Trust is the Invest thing on American
soil to-day. 1t is Trust here, Trust
there, Trust everywhere. Trust is the
new name for monopoly. 1t is sup
posed device for evading law. To-
gether with oil trusts, coal trusts. the
cotton trusts, sugar trusts, coffee trusts.
iron trusts and the numerous other con-
spiracies against legitimate industry
organized under the name of trusts, we
wonder how this new thing came to
grow upon us so rapidly and what the
end will be. There is rumor afloat
that the millerS are now organizing q
flour trust for the purpose of advanc-
ing the price of breadstuffs.
1t is the same old scheme
of the big fish swallowing the little
ones; the big milling establishments are
to combine for the purpose of crushing
out the smaller ones. When everything
that is essential to comfortable living
has passed under the control of these
mammoth trust organizations there will
only be one more field subject to their
invasion. The undertakers and the
gravediggers will have to organize a
death trust in order that the expenses
of dying may retain fair proportion to
the expenses of living.
1t is the easiest thing in the world to
trace the origin of these Infamous
trusts. They originated away back
when the government first undertook to
NEEDLE with private business concerns.
The trust principle originated with the
first protective tariff law. 1t is the
legitimate outgrowth of that pernicious
idea that legislation is the remedy for
all ills. Whenever congress ignored the
principle that competition is the life of
trade and established that other
principle, that it is the duty
of the government to protect Ger.
tain classes of industry to the exclusion
of others, it opened the Pandora box
from which all these other iniquities
have issued. Protection encourages
conspiracy. 1t fosters monopoly anG

FOR BIG STUFF.
The Stakes in the Whittaker-Mc.
Curdy Race to Be Increased.

The Misunderstanding bicycle race
still hangs fire and did not come off at
the Washington rink, Minneapolis, yes
terday as anticipated, after all. 1t trans
pireS that the postponement is due to the
disposition of both sides to increase the
stakes. Steve Carlisle already holds
$1,000 side. Yesterday McCurdy's
hackers talked of putting them up
$1,000 more, and finally increased the
amount to $1,000, posting the money
with Gus Doerr. w. A. Tanner at the
same time posted an additional $1,000
with J. l.. Black, and last night signi-
for any amount the McCurdy people
might name. To-day will probably set
tie whether the stakes are to be in
creased or not. The rink is being kept
in condition in the meantime, so the
race can come off at any time.
