THE GRAND ARMY.

The State EnCampment to Meet in
San Antonio.
The state encampment of the Grand
Army of the Republic will meet in
this city on the Dist of next February.
weston have each had the state en-
campment and each coveted it at the
last encampment but it was decided
to accept the invitation of San AID
tonic.
The department has grown steadily
and at the next encampment dele
gates will oe here from some thirty
posts; from Ell Paso, from the Rio
Grande, from eastern and northern
Texas. The number of delegates will
De between 100 and 200; some
will bring their wives and daughters.
The grand army is the greatest
organization in our country, IL is an
association of the veterans of the
Union armies, they represent the
forces that preserved the Unity of
the republic; their services, their
patriotism, their gallantry are mat
tiers of history. The organization is
strictly partisan, and founded up
on the three great principles of frater-
nifty, charity, loyalty.
In the way OF charity, its usefulness
has been atundantly proven. In Tex
as we have several thousand Union
veterans who have contributed to the
growth and prosperity of the state
they have found the Lone Star State
pleasant home.
San Antonio has ever welcomed
with open arms and generous hospi-
tality the gathering of the veterans of
the late war, no matter on which side
they fought, but the defenders of the
old flag have a warm place in the
hearts of our people; they mourned
when it went down before the fierce
blast of, civil war; they rejoiced when
it again fioated over them and told of
a restored Union. We have given
the Coufederates at different times
a hearty reception, on all of which
occasions our Grand Army men have
been conspicuous for their efforts to
entertain and make welcome their
brothers who wore the gray, and they
can reasonably expect the liberal
help of our citizens generally in pro-
viding welcome for the delegates to
the state encampment.

THE SITUATION.

1t is not true hat five democratic
senators, separating themselves from
their political associates. declared yes
terday that they would either join the
republicans Monday or resign. II
is true, however, that, for many days
the democratic senators at Helena have
had under consideration a plan where
by they might hasten h organization
of the Legislature by Joining the repub-
lican members of that body, and il is "A
certainty that, among themselves, these
democrats are i'm the heartiest accord,
that they are united in feeling and i'm
action and that they will make com
mon case to the end of the fight.
1t is more than probable that h or
~ganization of the senate will be com
pleted early in the coming week. The
reasons why the democrats should re-
sist the organization of that body nO
longer exist. The nonsense about seat

Apostles Woodruff and Cannon are
out with another manifesto, which,
like preceding ones, denies all charges
ever made against the Mormon church
and its infamous teachings, and says
that latter-day saints believe the con
stitutiOn of the United States to be
heaven inspired and members are
taught to obey its commands. Previous
appeals from the same source have car
ried with them little weight, m this
last one will share the fate of it's pre-
decessors. The charges made at the
recent hearing mt Salt Lake were fully
proven, and have been passed upon by
Judge Anderson. Denials at this late
day by such men rs Woodruff and Can
non will deceive nobody, unless ii he a
few unfortunate wretches whose ignO-
anc binds them to the Mormon
church. The ~rottenness of this institu-
ton has been scattered to h four
winds of the civilized world, and all
that its priests and prophets can do or
say cannot much longer delay the doom
of this vile institution, whose creed is
founded on treason, adultery and licen-
tiousness.
