Mrs. j. ELLEN FOSTER has bolted
the Woman's Christian Temperance
Union. She did not believe in the al
lance of the organization with the pro-
hibition party, nor, in fact, does she
believe in any party alliance. Mrs.
Foster doubtless takes this stand on the
principle that temperance is not po-
litical but social issue. She can have
the satisfaction of feeling, too, that the
non-partisan branch of the union will
accomplish far more practical good than
can the "old liners" while they stick
by the prohibition party.

THERE will be municipal election
at Salt Lake City in February, and it is
said that the Mormons are making Wig
orous efforts towards securing new citi-
zens. Some startling testimony regard
ing the nature of Mormon oaths has
been brought out in the course of the
examinations. A large number of
"apostates have told very damaging
stories of the institution. For exam
pie, witness named Waddell swore
that he saw man named Green, who
had apostatized, have his throat cut
from ear to ear. He gave full details
of the men who had participated in the
murder. James McGuffy told of the
Mountain Meadow massacre, and con-
nected it with the oaths taken in the
endowment house. Mormonism is not
dead yet, but an institution that stands
ON such practices as these can not long
exist in civilized country.

PRESIDENT HARRISON has aroused
the ire of some of the big papers by
refusing to have his message printed
at the government office, as usual.
The president is just right in this mat
ter. In these days of newspaper /" en-
terprise " some correspondent was
pretty sure to get copy ahead of time
and score " scoop" Whether it was
done by bribery or through breach of
faith on the part of an employee of the
office mattered very little to the presi-
dent, or lis it too severe to say it?) to
the paper that beat its esteemed con-
temporaries. The fact was that news
which should have been common was
exclusive. The president this year will
have his message multiplicated by his
typewriter, and not copy will go out
till the morning on which it is sent to
congress.

THE march of republican ideas, or
the growth of republican sentiment, is
illustrated by the revolution in Brazil.
The form of government in that coun-
try was an empire, and the emperor,
Dom Pedro, was generally understood
to be liberal and progressive ruler.
No complaint on the score of oppres-
sion, extravaganza or corruption was
known to those who have only gen
eral interest in the affairs of the world.
Perhaps the Brazilians knew more of
this than the outside world did. AT all
events, the empire has been over
thrown, temporarily if not permanently,
and Dom Pedro bundled off to Lisbon,
where the Brazilans desire to have him
live and to support him. The dis
patches come by way of Europe, and the
details of the movement are meager.
What is published as news is chiefly
conjecture. This revolution, if it is
one in fact, wipes out the last monarchy
on the American continent. If the
revolutionists aim, in good faith, to
give Brazil better government, and
are able to carry out that purpose, the
great parent republic of the north will
give its southern sister God-speed.

THE encouragement of Massachu-
sets gave an opinion that is bring
ing the secret ballot law into bad favor
among many in that state. He said
that only ballots in which the cross was
placed in the little square made for the
purpose should be counted, and in ac-
cordance with this opinion thousands
of votes have been thrown out, it is
said. The opinion was certainly not
very profound, as it is pretty we'll

the obvious intention of the voter
should be the determining fact. Yet
it ought not to cast any discredit on the

CONGRESSMAN STEWART tells New
York Press man that in his opinion the
result of the recent elections in Ohio
and Iowa is largely due to the failure
of the republican party to repeal the in
ternal revenue laws, and so break up
the power, in business and politics, of
the whiskey manufacturers. The re-
publican party has not been in posi-
ton for some years to do much actual
legislation, but it is undoubtedly true
that it will strengthen its case with
temperance people by coming out
squarely on this question. Congress
man Stewart tells a good plain truth
when he says Meanwhile the liquor
interests are getting more and more
powerful in politics every year. The
very fact that they object to the tax be-
ing taken off should be enough to cause
its removal. 1t is the only interest
anywhere that wants to be taxed, be-
cause the method of taxation enables il
to know where and by whom all the
product of the country is manufactured
and to keep up its great business and
political combine" The whole sub.
iect of internal revenue needs airing
again. 1t is a strange fact that the
American people, among whom so much
tobacco is used, should be content tC
pay tax on this necessity" as Mr.

A "DEAL" between New York and
St. Louis, by which Chicago is to be
left out in the cold as to the worlds
fair, is reported. This would be hard
on Chicago, and if it should come to
pass we fear the city would not be very
largely represented at the great show.
From all indications it is quite possible
that we are rapidly getting into a
stupendous wrangle that will render
a worlds fair altogether out of the
question.

TIE race for the speakership OF the
national house is now at its height, and
it seems to be Reed against the field.
His opponents think if he is not NOM
mated on the first ballot there will be a
chance for one of them. Mr.. Reeds
friends of course nope that no second
ballot will occur, but if it does they
are by no means prepared to believe
that the day will be lost. 1t certainly
looks as though Reed would be the
next speaker.

COMMISSIONER VALENTINE makes
another call on the listers for informa-
ton respecting the farm lands of the
state and for certain specific facts that
were not covered by his previous re-
quests. We trust the listers will re-
spond fully, promptly and with all pos
sible accuracy. The commissioner is
working with intelligent zeal to bring
some advantage to the state, and good
will come from his efforts, if town Off
cials cooperate heartily with him.
Without cooperation, official and non

official, he can do very little. We
believe that it will "follow as the night
the day " that Vermont will derive
some great advantage from the crea-
ton of this bureau. 1t may not come
along the precise line of the present
movement. No one, not even the COM
missioner himself, is too sanguine of
that, but in ways not now fully appar-
eut good will come of this agitation and
advertisement of the states opportu-
mites for profitable investment.

United States Officer who Failed to
Purchase Through Tickets.
WASHINGTON, June 24th.-The Interstate
Commerce Commission to-day. in an opin-
ion OF Chairman Cooley, decided the case
OF Major J. 2. Sanger against the Southern
Pacific Company, lessee of the Central
Pacific Railroad and the Union Pacific
Company.
The complainant, an Inspector General
OF the United States Army, having been
ordered from San Francisco to Fort Leayen-
worth, desired to purchase transportation
for his family to Fort Leavenworth and
New York city. Ii appears that he misap-
pretended the statement made 10 him bv
the agent at San Francisco and understood
that he must buy tickets to Ogden and
there obtain of the Union Pacific agent
other tickets for the balance Of the re-
spective journeys; and also that the
through tickets would not be sold to him.
The Commission finds that the agents of
the railroad companies acted with entire
good faith and without any intention to
deiraud or mislead, and that the complain
ant would have purchased through tickets
had he known he could obtain them. or
that greater price would be charged if he
did NOT do SO.
The Commission holds that it was mis-
apprehension under which the party has
paid tor one journey in two sections,
whereby the cost OF transportation has
been made more than it would have been
had through ticket been purchased. II
may be lawfully corrected by the return of
the excess, though the carriers were with
out fault and only charged for each portion
OF the journey regular rates, and it recon-
mends that carriers restore to complainant
the sum paid in excess of through fares.

BOTTOM FACTS.
Why the Clan-na- Gael Condemned Gro
min to Death.

Why the Clan-na- Gael Condemned Cro-
min to Death.
CHICAGO, June 23d.-To-nights sensation
in the Cronin case is a circumstantial re.
port that the authorities have information
showing that committee of Camp 20 OF
the Clan-na-Gael, after an informal trial
found Cronin guilty of being British spy.
The charge was that Cronin, under the
guise of endeayoring to expose the alleged
malfeasance of Alexander Sullivan, Michael
Boland and Dennis Feely, was in reality
attempting to bring about public investi-
cation of the work and accounts of the
Order for the information of the British
Government and the London Times.
1t was shown that the exposure of the
Order, which would be necessary in order
to refute Cronin's charges, would furnish
TO the London Times all the information
which it had despaired of obtaining by the
appointment of Government Sub-Com-
mission in America.
Cronin's maneuvers, it was also pointed
out, whatever his motives, could hardly
help insuring the extradiiion of every man
who had gone across the water on "active
service"
Chief Hubbard and States Attorney
Longenecker neither explicitly affirm nor
deny the reports. The story is that two
trials of Cronin were held.
The first was in January, but when it
came to rendering decision upon the evil
dence one man weakened. The trial COM
mittee was dissolved, but subsequently re-
organized in secret. the place of the man
who weakened being filled by another man.
The man who retired from the first meet
ing became aware of the reorganization
since Cronin's disappearance, so it is
claimed, ana has been the source from
which the information has come to the
authorities.
The Trial Committee consisted of seven
persons, each of whom it is said is now
under surveillance. They did not sentence
anyone to death or have any knowledge,
much less have anything 10 do with the
Turing of Cronin from his office or the
