NO MANS LAND A PARADISE.
BEAVER CITY, May 4, 1899


To the Editor of the Eagle.
Tho Neutral Strip for all purposes is
as much ahead of Oklahoma as Illinois
is ahead of West Virginia. Allow me to
say that have travelled over the greater
portion of this western country since
1857, and think l have pretty fair
knowledge of the western country gen
orally. / feel safe in saying that for all
purposes No Mans Land is equally as
good as any portion of the west and far
better than either Oklahoma or the
Cherokee strip No Mans Land is the
finest stock country in the United States
and splendid farming country in every
respect. AS to the climate, No Mans
Land is the Italy of America This
country has all been surveyed by the
government in townships and has been
sub-divided in quarter sections by local
county surveyors, SO that there will be
no trouble in selecting claims. This
country is open for settlement, and
parties who desire good homes can come
here and locate without fear of violating
law. There is about 2,500.0 coo acres of
unoccupied land in No Mans Land. We
have population of about $4,000 peace
able, quiet, honorable and industrious
people. Beaver City is the principal
town with population of about 400. l
hope the EAGLE will notice this country
as it has a wide circulation among the
thoughtful reading public and can do
much good in the way of guiding the
homesteaders to the country where they
can obtain desirable homes.

Dear Suffragist. your simile is not hap

gender of that genus: more than can

Since the inauguration centenni;

Since the Inauguration centennial
that was SO universally observed and
celebrated throughout the country last
week an effort is being made to properly
mark the grave of Mary Washington,
the mother of George Washington.
Nearly sixty years ago Siias E. Burrows,
New York gentleman, at an expense
of S12, 900, completed monument, but
he met with financial reverses before
the shaft was placed upon the base and
today the shaft lies beside the base, both
severely marked by the weather stains
of more than half century. The neg
lect of the grave of Mary Washington
by the citizens of Fredericksburg, in
whose midst her remains have laid for
three successive generations, is more
greatly to their discredit than any
thing else perhaps that can be said of
them. But it is gratifying to be assured
that even at this late day the sacred
spot is to be fittingly commemorated by
the erection of an enduring shaft.

1t is a discouraging sign of the times
when an effort is being made in Illinois,
as is the case just now, to remodel the
state constitution for the purpose of
striking out the beneficent clause which
forbids the legislature granting to any
corporation, association or individual
any special or exclusive privilege, i'm
munity, or franchise whatever" With
this gone, buying and selling of corpo-
rate rights would flourish at their worst.
With its past experience in this matter
it is singular that Illinois should take
such action or even entertain it now.

After a most exciting trial, lasting
eleven days, Halves, the ex-sheriff, was
convicted Saturday of the murder of his
wife and children at Birmingham, Ala.
The crime for which he was arraigned
and convicted was one of the most bru-
tai and diabolical on record. and al
though it seems incredible that a hus-
band and father could become such a
demon rs was shown by the circum-
stanceS-the evidence was altogether
crcumstantial-the evidence seemed to
be conclusive of his guilt. If Halves is
not guilty of the horrible crime he is the
victim of one of the most adroit plots
ever laid against a human being. with
not the slightest clue to unravel it, so
far as the public can see or learn. A
no less distressing feature of the
terrible tragedy was the fearfully,, fatal re-
suit of the attempt of the outraged citi-
zens of Birmingham to take Halves
from prison shortly after his arrest and
the circumstance of his crimes became
known and lynch him. II Halves
is an innocent man as to the
first crime he is of course in nc
way responsible for the scenes and Incl.
dents that followed his arrest: but if he
is guilty of the first, as there appears Il
be no doubt, he is likewise guilty of and
responsible for the lives lost and anguish
suffered, in view of which is were al
most a pity that he has but one life. as
far as this world is concerned, to sur
render in expiation of his all but in
comparable barbarism.

One popularity of the present admin
istration consists in the cordial relations
existing between the president and vice
president and their families. Messrs.
Harrison and Morton are evidently on
terms of mutual friendship, and not at
all disposed to stand aloof from each
other, socially or otherwise. This has
not in all instances been thus. The early
days of the Cleveland administration
were marked by a severe GOODNESS" be-
tween the president and vice-President
Hendricks and that GOODNESS" was re-
membered in Indiana last fall.

The real contest over the beef inspec-
ton bill before the Missouri legislature,
which eliminated in its defeat, seems to
have been between ST. Louis and Kansas
City. As for st. Louis, it was inspired
by envy, jealousy and petty spite at her
younger and more prosperous rival up
the Big Muddy, while with Kansas City
it was matter of business, of self-de-
Tense and of right. With justice pre-
vailing the outcome of the local contest
and the issue as involving the general
interest and welfare, could not have
been other than it was: nevertheless we
congratulate our nearer nelghbor and

The Mormons in Idaho.

Scarcely less important than the
constitutional convention now in ses-
sion in Washington, Montana and
the two Dakotas are those in Idaho
and Wyoming, which are preparing
for statehood as well as the others,
but which can not become states so
soon. Especially important is the
discussion now going on in Idaho
over the Mormon question.
For some years past the Mormons
have been large factor in Idaho pol
itics. They have many settlements
in the territory and command quite
large vote. About three years ago
an act was passed by the territorial
legislature designed to disfranchise
Mormons, ,and especially polygamists.
It did not take Mormon cunning very
long to find a loophole in the law.
Hundreds of Idaho Mormons, in obe-
dience to the dictates of the hierarchy,
resigned formally from the Mormon
church, and their designations were
promptly accepted by the bishops.
When they came to vote and were
challenged, they produced these ac-
ceptances, showing that they were
no longer church Mormons. Every
body knew perfectly we'll that the
designations were not rendered or ac-
cepted in good faith and that the
whole proceeding was an evasion of
, the law, but good many Mormons
succeeded in voting nevertheless.
As a general rule, the democrats of
Idaho and other western territories
favor the Mormons, who always vote
the democratic ticket when party
: lines are drawn, ,and and whose news
: paper organs favor the national dem
: ocratic party.
i In the present convention there
It were presented two reports on th'
d Mormon question, one from the re
J, publican majority of the committe
# on elections and suffrages and tn
|. other from the democratic minority
d The former contained provisions aim
n ing to disfranchise the Mormons, an
= authorizing the Legislature to max
% from time to time such laws as sha
le be deemed necessary to prevent tn
le vote of persons holding higher allie
4 glance to any other organization tina
n to the government of the Unite
If States. The minority report
1T meant to cut off further anti-Mormo
ID legislation.
tn This majority report goes to til
s. root of the Mormon evil. 1t is NJ

is not recognized by them as the SOW
ereign power. Whenever an act of
congress conflicts with an edict of the
church the latter is obeyed rather
than the former.
The Mormons control Utah. They
have been trying, persistently and by
every possible means, to get strong
foothold in Idaho, Arizona and New
Mexico. They are ready, at the bid
ding of their priests, to defy or to
truckle, to fight or to suffer meekly,
to lie or to tell the truth, to stay at
home or to go on journeys, to make
money or to lose it, to vote or to re-
frain from voting.
The Idaho republicans evidently
understand the nature of this Shiny
monster of disunion. They have
grasped clearly the great principle
that underlies the whole matter, and
they are resolved never to let the
Mormons, who are not American cit
liens in any true sense of the term,
have any voice in the political affairs
of the territory or the state of Idaho.
They are right, and they will be sus-
tanned in their position by the entire
republican Darty of the nation.

The Wastefulness of Americans.

Mrs. General Logan has furnished
fruitful theme for popular discus
sion by her assertion, in the interview
published in these columns, that only
in the economies of life are the people
of the Old World ahead of the peo-
pie of this country. ''Our fault
is in wastefulness," says Mrs. Logan,
giving voice in five words to a great
truth which is supported by evidence
from every quarter, which stands un-
challenged, and yet which is un-
needed as warning that from waste
comes want. Just at this time prob
ably no greater and more forcible ex-
ample of the national waste can be
cited than in the destruction of for
ests. The lavish use of wood for
fuel and for building purposes, with
no precaution for keeping up the sup
ply, has literally denuded the surface
of the country, not alone with the re-
suit of making lumber and fuel high
priced, but sending torrents down
the mountain sides to destroy towns
and cities. In the coal fields of Penn
sylvania there have been annually
thrown aside as worthless and use
less an amount of slack and dust now
pronounced by scientists to be equal
in heat-producing capacity to one
fifth of the entire annual production.
Investigations that have been made
concerning the meat product show
that from one-tenth to one-seventh
of the meat which is annually put on
the market is actually allowed to spoil
and is thrown away. These things
are true in almost every direction in
this country. The ordinary citizen
sits down daily to meals at which the
supply of food is sufficient for two
and three times the number of per-
sons at table. He orders enough
clothing every year to keep him well
supplied with raiment for half doz-
EN- years. His hat rack is burdened
with an assortment of tiles and his
shoe-bag contains a half score of foot
gear where one pair would suffice.
1t is economy that creates wealth
the penny saved that is the penny
earned. The riot of wastefulness
has been on this country until some
intends, in a series of articles soon
to be written, to present some of the
economies practiced among the peo-
pie in Europe which might advanta-
geously be followed in this country.
The task she has undertaken is both
timely and valuable Graphic.
