Special CORRESPONDENCE of THE HERALD.
The final decision of the House in tn
ThOebe- Carlisle case has removed th,
| only really sensational affair Congress
had on hand, and now there will b.
nothing to break the monotony of tn,
eternal inflow of bills and resolutions
unless the tariff discussion, soon tt
come, unearths a few personalities Of
an interesting nature.
Delegate Caine is working diligently
in behalf of his beloved Territory, anG
his earnest efforts to circulate the truth
as to the great Utah question have
earned for him the respect of even h,
enemies. Not his enemies, though, fol-
their warfare, in his case at least, has
not assumed personal phase, but is
only against the people he SO ably
represents. When business in the
House is little dull, and members are
lazily lolling in their seats, Utah's
representative does lots of missionary
work among them, and his pleasant
manner invariably secures for him q
respectful hearing.
Mr.. Caine told THE HERALD CORE
spondent to-day that he was satisfied
that Congress would give the Terri
tory the additional judge he asked for
in the bill just introduced by him. To-
day he added not little to the pzetec-
ton side of the great national argu-
ment by presenting the resolutions
adopted by the Utah Legislature OPP
posing any reduction in the tariff on
lead, and also the resolutions adopted
by the Salt Lake Chamber of Com
MERGE, and Endorsed by the sheep
raisers of the Territory, protesting
against any reduction in tne tariff on
wool or woollens. .''--'--'.-.-.
The local press is the medium
through which many people continue
to discuss, the utah question and
there is a marked change in the tone
of the a Ji Mormon utterances. There
is a tendency toward decent argument
and the abuse is generally of mild
type. A renewal of open hostility may
soon be looked for. though, for Mrs.
Angie F. Newman, of Nebraka, has
announced. that she will be here in a
few days for the purpose of'throwing
hot-shot into the Mormon camp, and
her so-called Christian endeavors will
be supplemented by the words and
actions OF a few professional agitators
of her own sex. isa'feh ie*9 i
