DUBOIS ANSWERED,
THE HERALD,
Salt Lake CITY, ..

Dubois, of Idaho, is a peculiarit,
He obtained his domination for an
election to Congress by peculit
methods and has sought to create
reputation for himself in the same wa
on the floor of the House of Represen
tatiVes. He seems burdened with til
idea that the path to immortality j
over the broken bones and the crushe,
hopes of tt Mormons; at least, b
seldom, if ever, gives vent to an idei
In which anything else than hostilit,
toward that class of people appears
Hia latest effort in the direction o.
creating a sensation was the introduc-
ton of a resolution calling upon the
President for information regarding the
number Of polygamists and bigamists
that had received executive clemency
In Utah and Idaho. AS a matter of
course, and perhaps of courtesy also
his request was sent to the
proper committee. which promptly
sat down on him, and re-
ported substitute somewhat more
comprehensive and containing decidedly
less of that political afflatus with which
the Idaho Delegate is surcharged.
Yesterday, on the floor IF the House
of Representatives, Delegate Game
spoke On the subject, favoring the
substitute and incidentally making the
carpet-bag representative of the "Gem
of the Mountains. appear in an un-
enviable attitude. By referance to the
records and to weIl-known facts, MIR
Game showed that not so much
elemency as the law contemplated had
been extended and that the President
was fully justified in his action toward |
those he did pardon, as ths cases were
not sonly meritorious in themselves
but claimed attention in most instances
on humane and other grounds con-
ducive to the public welfare.
Going on, Mr.. Game gave an excel
lent resume of the Utah situation; of
how diligently and earnestly the peo-
pie here have striven to become homo
geneous with the nation and how
they have offered euarar-
tees of their good faith, asking
for 40 more in return for their sur
