of citizenship, applied with even
greater force to Roman Catholics,
whom the Boston organization de-
sired TO have reduced to the situa-
ton Of aliens. Let Congress follow
the example of the legislature of
Idaho, by placing upon the national
statute book law based upon the
proposition that a belief in certain
religious doctrines is a sufficient
ground for the denial of the fran
chise to citizens holding such belief,
and no power on earth can prevent
the Inauguration, throughout the
United States, Of q strife between
Protestants and Catholics, such as
has so often filled with distress older
countries Of the civilized world, and
such as the fathers Of this nation,
above all earthly things, desired TO
forever prevent in this fair land.
Let it be granted that the false
and shameful charge Of disloyalty,
reiterated against the 'Mormons,"
is true, its truth will in no way
modify the disastrous effects upon
the Constitution which the Struble
bill win have if made a law; for dis
reimbursement without judicial pro-
cedure Of any sort is not and cannot
be made, a consti utional method Of
Furnishing disloyalty. Let Con-
gress in its wisdom and patriotism,
or in its lack Of these qualities, as
the event may be, decide upon its
course.

THE ALTERNATIVE BEFORE
CONGRESS-.

SoUARELY stated, the alternative
presented before Congress in eonnec-
ton with the StubIe bill is this:
Shall the ''Momons" be permitted
10 remain 4 part Of the lody polite
Of this nation, or shall an irrepaIable
breach be made in the Constitution,
in order that they may he excluded
from the rights Of citizens? One Of
these two things Congress must 60.
There is 10 possib!r third choice. II
the disfranchisement measure shall
be rejected, the religious sect re-
ferred to will remain upon an equal
footing politically with all ether
worshiPing societies in the Repub-
lie. If it shall become law, then an
opening is made in the bulwarks OF
American liberty beyond the power
of man TO close before 4 deluge Of
religious and partisan strife shall
submerge the country, and under
mine and sweep away the founda-
tons Of our national fabric.
When the members Of n religious
body in this country are disfran-
chisei by Congressional enactment
because Of such memberships worse
disruption viii be made in the ma
ti0nal organization than that which
followed the b0mb8rinIent Of Fort
Sumpter, and caused the loss OF
million lives and mountains Of treas
ure. The great rebellion divided
the country into only two opposing
portions, zach OF which was con
fined to definite geographical limits.
With two or three exceptions, the
inhabitants OF each State were prac-
ticaDy united as to which side Of the
great controversy the State should
espouse. Except IN limited districts
and a few instances, the residents OF
given neighborhoods did not make
war upon each other. Each side
felt its foe to be a foreign rather
than 4 fraternal one. This Is at
least true Of the masses Of the
soldiery.
But when political conspirators
begin to win success in this great
Republic by securing the disfrau-
cbisement Of their opponents on
grounds Of church membership, and
by means Of anti-religiouse Or expur-
gatoIy test oaths, the country viii De
split, not only into two, but into
many divisions. The number OF
warning factions VIII correspond
with the number Of religious seets
which are assailing, or being assaiIel
by, opponents in deadly strife over
the question OF Acknowledgement for
opinions sake.
Under governmental structure
such as ours, consequences the most
sweeping and appalling must attend
the establishments Of a precedent
iustifying disfranchisement on &C
count Of religious belief. II any man
has studied either law, history or
state craft, and cannot see that this
is and must be true, his studies have
profited him but little.
Familiarity with current develop
meDts in the country confirms the
teachings of political science in this
regard. Since the Acknowledgement
of the 'Mormons" in Idaho,
strong anti-CathOlic organization In
Boston has flooded the country with
printed matter, showing that the
same reasons and Arguments on
which was based the action that
took from the ''Aformons" the rights

MORE POLITICAL JUGGLBRY.

a Herald special, which appears
in this issue, gives information to
the effect that the Secretary Of Ari-
IONA, Mr. Murphy, is in Wash
ington urging upon the House com
rnittee on Territories the advisable
ity Of insisting upon Arizona being
admitted to the Union only on con-
dition that a clause DISTINGUISHING
the ''Mormons" be embodied in her
constitution. This impudent and
atrocious demand is made in the
face Of several facts which indicate
beyond question that such an unre-
publican proceeding is opposed TO
the viii OF the peopleo OF Arizona.
Hereare the points a. Mr.. Smith,
the Delegate to Congress from Ari-
IONA, representing his constitu-
ency most emphatically OF
poses any such disiranchise-
ment clause il the constitution.
~ The Arizona Legislature passed
an anti-"Mormon'' religious test
oath law, which was in the direction
Of Acknowledgement. Subsequently,
the statute being invijious, pToscrip-
tive sud unjust was repealed. The
people thus showed, through their
legislative representatives, their re-
puguance 10 anything in the line
OF disfranchisement on religious
grounds. (3.) air. Murphy ad-
mitted, in answer to Mr.. AIansGr,
that If a proposal to adopt dis
franchisement clause in the consti-
tuition Of the proposed State were
submitted to the people it would be
voted down. Consequently those
who favor it request that Congress
shall deprive the people Of the
right to adopt their own constitu-
lion. The efrontery OF the demand
when confined with the admission
isalmost sublime in its unscrupulous
disregard Of the fundamental prin-
ciple Of popular government-based
on the viii Of the governed.
About all these political wire
pulling jobs, there is q distinct
peculiarly. 1t is this: Nearly all
Of the leading operators are either
Federal officials or ex-otlicials Of
the same class. Take, for instance,
this same AIr. Murphy with the
Sibernian potato flavor to his name
he is Federal secretary. Then
there Is our doubIe-deahng Cover
nor Thomas who is operating the
Acknowledgement business in the
capacity Of agent for the salt Lake
Chamber OF Commerce, which pays
him 500 for his work; also the dash
ing ex-Southern rebel guerilla Off
Ger, Ex-Governor, and agent Of the
Chamber OF Commerce, Caleb w.
West. Then there is Robert y.
Baskin, an ex-FeieFal official, some /
Of whose protested frlenIs are anSi- /
Gus 10 sec retire TO his Old home
in Ohio to end his days, chewing
the cud Of disappointment.
1t seems to be the case with many
men that when they once take 4 |
draught Of the sweets Of office they
are never satisfied except when they
are operating the dipping process. /
These who are cut Of Office wish to
get II. Those who are IN expect TO
get out in the event Of Federal tits
being anEihI!ated by the official
fields being clothed with the mantle
Of statehood. Their only hope in
that event i 10 lay 4 foundation for
future reward by a present recourse
to the disFeputable process OF politi-
cal iuggleEy.

THE CALIFORNIA PIONEER
ASSOCIATION.

Is another column is given an
account Of the visit to our city OF
the members Of the California Pho
neer Association of New England.
With every old substantial citizen
OF Utah we unite in bidding them
a cordial welcome TO our city, with
whose appearance the visitors are
delighted.
Our greeting is the more warm
because the guests are people of no
ordinary calibre, being the material
Of which empire founders are COM
posed, they having been, in bygone
days, engaged in that important
labor on the Pacific Coast. They,
together with their cOtemreraries in
early times, laid the foundation of
California, subsequently, built upon
by others, until the Golden State has
become one Of the most important in
the Union.
Most of the members Of the associ-
alton are wealthy and influential.
This is matter Of course, rs the pio-
neers Of n vast country are charac-
terized by the push and energy be-
fore which ordinary Obstacles to sue
cess melt like barriers Of snow under
the rays Of the sun. Such men and
women naturally carve their way
until they reach any objective point
upon which their minds are fixed.
Between our visitors and many of
the older citizens Of Utah, there is
necessarily a more than ordinary
bond ofsympatby. Theformer, like
them, have been the pioneers of civil
lization in the Great West, and per-
haps under circumstances naturally
much more forbidding than those
encountered in the early develop
ment OF the Pacific coast. We wish
the men and wOmeR who helped to
found the Golden State = pleasant
sojourn while they remain in Salt
Lake City, and a safe journey to
their EASTERN homes.

not directly the cause of death. One of the men there was badly bitten m the back of the hand. and took the usual rem edies with the usual result that he felt only temporary inconvenience. But he neglected the wound, which consequent ly became very sore and much lrrtated, and, in addition to this, he was suffering from an aggravated disease of the blood. In a week or two he became sick, and ln few days died some maintained from the Gila's although the doctors said it was nothing more nor less than blood poisoning, the fatal effect possibly brought to quicker culmination from the wound on the hand.
 In fact, the Gila monster IS rather unknown quantity, although here where he is so common it is generally thought that his powers of dealing out death are very much over-rated. If they were not it would be an easy matter, instead of a difficult and almost impossible one, to quote instances of death resulting from his bite Maj Patski, the army surgeon at Fort Huachuca, has made an especial study of this reptile for number of years, trying the effects of his bite on animals, and dissecting his body, and states that he Is unable to find any evidence of pois- on, whereas all the other poisonous in sects and reptiles are supplied with glands or sacks in which to carry the death-deaLng fluid.

OUR MINING INDUSTRY.
Arizona Mining Properties Stand Well
 in the East.
Phenix Gazette,

Mr B. Rankin, one of the successful and enterprising mining men of Mari copa county, returned yesterday from an extended visit to the mining centers of the nation. Mir Rankin says that the attention of the mining world is now at tracted towards Arizona, and this terri tory and Montana are the centers of at traction in mining circles. A few years ago Arizona was practically tabooed as mineral country. The absurd report had become fastened upon our territory that the ore pinched out at very shallow depth and as country of investment it was very unsafe It has taken years to dispel this illusion, but we are pleased to be able to say that no section of this union stands better in mining circles or among mining men than those of the ter Titory of Arizona. This will be eratify- ing news for Arizona, as this Is one of its principal industries.
 Mir. Rankin Is largely interested in mining in the famous Gunsight district, in Pima county, which is situated 120 miles west of Tucson, and is distant one hundred miles from Pheni-. IT., Silver Girt company Is the name of tho corpor- ation which controls the two big prop critics of this district, and upwards of $5,000,000 have been expended in devel- oping the properties. One of the largest mills in the territory Is situated on the property, and we feel that under the guiding and experienced hand of MT. Rankin one of the most extensive bul- lion producers in the southwest will be found in this district. The ore IS a high grade and the ledges wide and apparently exhaustless. Supt. Rankin will put the mines and mill in first class condition and will go rapidly forward in the work oi extracting ore and developing the mines MT. Rankin is miner of many years ex- perience and coupled with his good busi- ness qualifications fit him admirably to manage these mines.

IMP ORTANT PROJECT.
An Agricultural Department Agency to

Phenix Republican.


 Hon. Chas D. Poston, we'll known as pioneer of Arizona, arrived in the city yesterday MT. Poston was found by a Republican reporter at the Lemon Hotel and though fatigqed by a five days trip from Washington City, submitted to a short interview.
 In answer to query as to the signiti- canoe of his visit, he said: Il come back to Arizona with commission to establish an Agency of the Department of Agricul- ture and shall doubtless locate in Phenix.
 "The importance of this valley as an agricultural section Is becoming well known, and 1 am interested in seeing it advanced It has been through my own efforts that this branch has been estab- lished and 1 expect much benefit to ac- crue to the valley and Territory from 1t, The obisct of the office will be to furnish succinct reports of the Territory's cap abilities, the variety of her products and capacity, with proper development. The development will be encouraged and as sisted by the department as far as possi ble.
 What you need here is a judicious management of the water proposition and though the ambition of some were not realized by Congressional action on the national irrigation scheme, there Is yet much that can be done by the department l represent
 "I shall want the assistance of the peo- of the Territory, and by concerted action the grand expectations for this Territory may be realized"

Is the Sum Paid for The Speculation Mine
 ---Another Boon for Pima County.
Tucsdb Stsr


 For several days Mr Lemuel Bannis- ter, manager of the Pittsburg Fuel Gas Company and mining experts have been in our city. Rumors were rife as to the cause of their presence, especially that of MT. Bannister, as be Is known to be cool headed business man, and ready to take hold of any good business proposition.
 He with his experts Yisitedand examined several groups of mines ill the Santa Ritas and also some mines in the Olive camp. No one appeared to know their business. Yesterday, however, the cat got out of the meal bag when 1t was known that the Santa Cruz bank had counted out $75,000 in greenbacks to Max Werner and that Lemuel Bannlster for himself, and George Westinghouse Jr., of Pittsburg, Pa. had purchased for that sum the Speculation group of mines ln Pima district, better known as the Olive Camp. The mines are located eighteen miles south of Tucson, and experts state that there $2,O00,000 ofo in sight, which means that Pima county has again been fortunate 1n securing purchasers for an- other of her honan2as who have the oapi- tai, the pluck and push to make a mining success for themselves. Tucson and Pima county, and the miners of Olive camp have reason to congratulate themselves on the purchase, as it means much for the camp, because wherever the Nesting house people have invested, they have gained a reputation for liberality as well as business sagaeity.
 Max Werner ot cousse congratulates himself, as he has q right to do. for he has the SS75,000 and tie value of his othel mines in that district has been largely in creased i'y the sale. Francis J. Heney Esq, acted as the attorney for tht | purchasers.
