UTAH AND STATEHOOD.
The Liberal Union Opposed to Ad-
hitting the Territory.

hitting the Territory.
SALT LAKE, UTAH, Dec. 1S-The liberal
committee of Utah has issued the following
address to the country:
The liberal territorial committee, representing
republicans and democrats alike desire to call
the attention of the country TO the fact that the
Gentlles OF Utah unanimously oppose the Nor
mon statehood scheme recently Endorsed by the
democratic congressional caucus We are con
tronted by a condition, not theory. Poly ,amy
IS not dead. The law is not supreme. Two
hundred and thirty-four indictments
were found at the present term of
court at Provo for violations of the United
states statutes designed to suppress polygamy
and polygamous living. To give Utah statehood
would retard progress, depreciate value, per-
petuate polygamy and hand the territory over
70 the Mormon priesthood. We call upon patri
QUO citizens everywhere to unite in strong pro-
tests TO congress against the proposed action
Inc admission OF Utah to statehood would be a
crime against American institutions
o. W. POWERS, Chairman.
ACTION IN THE HOUSE,

day. There would be a meeting of the

would then be determined when these
measures would be con idered.

A MOTION To STRIKE OUT.

Mr.. Cummings Of New York moved to
strike out the whole clause relating to the
civil service commission. He did this, he
said, because it seemed that every bill that
was introduced in the House to repeal the
civil service act had been buried in commit
tee, and he saw no other way
of reaching the subject than by
curtailing the commission by striking
out appropriations for its maintenance He
believed that the commission was undemo-
cratic, that it favored certain voters at the
expense of other voters, and be knew that
if the rules of the commission were applied
to the members of the house It five-eighths
of them would ever reach the floor again.
Laughter
Mr.. Spinola looked upon the motion of
his colleague as healthy one. Laughter. ]
RANDALL ASKS WITHDRAWAL.
Mr.. Randall requested Mr.. Cummings to
withdraw his motion. As long as the civil
service law was on the statute books he was
in favor of appropriating money to enforce
It,
Mr.. Cummings replied that be would
gladly withdraw his motion if he saw any
other way of reaching the civil service com
mission. lido moi" he continued, ''desire to
obstruct the passage of the BILL and if the
gentleman from Pennsylvania will agree to
take yea and nay vote in the House, will
withdraw the motion now.
Mr.. Randall cannot, because have no
instructions from the committee to do so.
The general subject of the civil service,
its reform, and the civil service law and its
administration were discussed at great
length by Messrs. Springer, Browne of
Indiana, Compton, Lodge, Jackson Of Penn
sylvia ia, McComas Bynum, Buchanan and
Cutcheon.
lhe motion of Mr.. Cummings to strike
out the whole section relating to the civil
service commission was then rejected by
vote of % yeas to 1873 nays. and the read
ing of the bill was concluded without fur
Their interruption, and the committee hav-

bury, as an illustration Of tito same

recently told by an American cotton
manufacturer, that he had a contract to

LEGISLATIVE EXPENSES.
THE RIVER AND HARBOR BILL PUT
ASIDE FOR THE DAY.

Discussion of the Measure Taken Up
and Turned into a Debate on the
Civil Service Law and It's Commits
sion-Motions to Make No Appropri-
alton for its Maintenance.
WASHINGTON, Dec. 1S.-In the House this
morning there was brief contest between
Mr.. Blanchard of Louisiana, in charge of
the river and harbor bill, and Mr.. Randall
of Pennsylvania, in charge of the legislative
appropriation bill, for the precedence of
their respective measures, Mr. Randall
being successful, and the House proceeded
in committee of the whole, with Mr..
Blount of Georgia in the chair, to consider
alton of his bill.
There was no INTERRUPTION in the reading
of the bill until Mr.. Holm IN, of Indiana
offered an amendment increasing the num-
Der of mes engers on the soldiers roll" of
the House from fourteen to twenty. This
amendment caused a political debate, and
was finally rejected by a vote Of So to 66.
Mr.. Henderson, of Iowa, moved to in
crease the clerical force of the civil service
commission, and the amendment was
opposed by Messrs. Randall, Spinola and
Cummings of New York. and others
ASRED FOR BY THE COMMISSION.
Mr.. Henderson said the increase was
asked for by the commission, and that it
should be granted il congress desired to en-
force the law in good faith, but he charged
that the spirit of the law had not been car
RED out in good faith by the present ad-
ministration.
The civil service commissioners were de-
Tended by Mr.. McMiilen, while Messrs.
Cummings and Spinola made a fierce on.
slaught upon the civil service law. and
earnestly advocated an amendment strik-
ing out all appropriations for its enforce
ment
Mr.. Henderson's amendment was re-
jected by vote of 81 TO so.
Mr.. Randall said he had never agreed
that there should be fastened upon the
country class of Office holders, but that
since the civil service law was enacted he
had always voted the appropriation neces-
sary to operate it. His friends on the other
side would soon be in charge, and thev could
make the civil ervice law spraad all over
the country and ubrace all office-holders.
He was waiting with good deal of anxiety
and an expectation Of amusement to see their
attitude in the next congress when hey
would profess to execute their extreme
anxiety in connection with the civil SER
vice law. Laughter

November Heteers.

While meteors may be seen almost any
night in the year, they are more plentiful
than usual on certain nights, which are
April 90, August 10, November Is and
November 81. The meteors OF Novem-
Der 10 are called Leonids because they
emerge from the spot in the Leo. AL
though the display of Leonids these years
are not especially brilliant, still when the
sky is clear, dozen may be seen
in an hour almost any part of
the night between 10 and II O'Clock
and forty or fifty minutes or SO
before sunrise. About three times
every century the spectacle is magnih-
cent. One of these periods came on
November 12, 1893, another was NOvem
Der 10, 1888, and still another on the
same day of the month in 1886. At this
latter date. however. the spectacle was
not particularly fine in the United States,
although very striking and beautiful in
Europe, but in 1857 thu display seen in
this country was one of the grandest re-
corded. The next star shower of this
class is confidently expected on Novem'
Der 10, 1899 or 1900 In these third oil
a century displays the meteors are almos
as thick as snowflakes in a snow storm

They went to Clerk Orchards office to-

for somebody who could do the marrying.
Just then Judge Waterman stepped into
the office. You can be married right
here and now. if you want to, said the
clerk. And both wanted to. They stood
up before the Judge--snd then:
To the maiden-'Are you willing to
take this young man for your husbandf
The maiden-'Yes sir
To the young man-'Are you willing
to take this young woman for your wifes
Young man-'Yes sir
The Judge Then by the authority o
law in me vested by the state of Iowa,
pronounce you husband and wife
That was all the ceremony there was
and it was done SO quickly that the coupl
stood with clasped hands awaiting 70
something more, when the clerk informed
them they we're married. Then tn
groom kissed his blushing brIde-sn'
paid all expenses.
