Washington Delegation Endeavoring te
Secure Needed Approximation.

WASHINGTON, Dec. 30.-ISpecial l--Many re-
quests have been received by senator Allen and
Representative Wilson asking that some legisla-
tion be enacted which will allow a survey OF the
coal lands in Washington. Mr.. Wilson has been
contemplating measure looking to this result
for some time. II is possible that an attempt
will be made to secure the adoption of an
amendment to allow this to be one OF the appro-
priation bills. The case has been presented at
the interior department, but that department
has no authority in the premises further than to
recommend such action for the consideration of
congress.

people of this city received an unjust
rebuke from the hands of an insolent
restauratuer. One day last week two
respectable ladies entered the restaurant
known as ''The Senate" at los N1collet
avenue and took seats at a convenient
table. They waited for fully half an
hour before anyone appeared to notice
them. Finally they called the attention
of the waiter to the fact that they came
there for something to eat and would
like to be served, but was told that he
had no time to wait on them. They
then went to the proprietor to demand
the reason why they were thus treated
but from him they received no satisfac-
ton beyond the most naughty and in
sulting replies. They were told to take
their money elsewhere, that he had no
use for it. ''The Senate" is far from
being S'frst class" place. In fact it
is among the lowest restaurants in the
city, it's customers are principally of the
toughest element in the city, and its SER
vice is such as no one of state would go
there a second time. The ladies were
strangers and entered the place Ignorant
of its kind and character.
The leading social event of the week
was the marriage of Miss Mamie E..
Coleman and Mr.. w. 6. Nelson. The
ceremony took place at $50 P. NJ. We'd

The People to Decide.

The APPEAL has heard 80 much said
about the popularity of this preacher or
that preacher, that it has determined to
have the people decide the question.
And, in order to bring out full ex-
preston it has decided to offer list of
prizes to be awarded to the ten most
popular preachers in Illinois, Missouri,
Kentucky and Minnesota.
The contest is confined to the four
states in which The APPEAL has offices
of publication.
The prizes will be awarded according
to the number of votes cast for each con.
testant.

The APPEAL can not in common fair
ness, advocate the merits of this or that
preacher. Two things are of the first
Importance in order to hope for success.
The first is to make selection of a
preacher who is possessed of qualities
essential to popularity. Having selected
a candidate the second step is to work
for his success. Let one secure all the
ballots possible and at the same time stir
up interest and activity in others. De-
lay in securing ballots are as dangerous
as delays in other matters. It would
worry one much to learn that his or her
candidate might have been elected by
a slight extra effort. A few votes may
be the difference between the winners
and losers. Hence the Importance of
early and persistent activity in securing
ballots. The plan of determining who
the most popular minister is, is given in
order that all may thoroughly under.

AM IMPORTANT DECISION.

An Opinlon Rendered by she Supreme Court Which is ef vital Interest to the Mormon Church.
 WASHINGTON, May 19. = The supreme court of the United States to day rendered an opinion of vital interest to the Mormon church in the suit of the Church of Latter Day Saints against the United States, which comes here on appeal on the decision of the supreme court of Utah in favor of the United States. This court afirms that judgment. The case grows out of the passage of the Edmunds anti polygamy law by the Forty ninth congress. < This law among other things dissolved the Mormon ohnrch corpor- ation, annulled it's charter, directed the ap- pointment of Q receiver to wind up its affairs and escheated to the United States all the real astate owned by the church in excess of $50, ,000, which was not on the date of the passage of the act held for purposes Of worship or burial. When the United States under the terms of this act began proceedings to confiscate about $750, 900 worth of proper ty belonging to the church the Mormons in- mediately entered suit to have the Edmunds law declared unconstitutional. It was argued before the supreme court in their behalf that congress by the dissolution of the church corporation had assumed judicial powers and Gn86 tho act or Cu6 1oR1DAntANo N10onOAy VI Utah incorporating the church constituted a contract which could not be impaired by congress under its authority to repeal terri l torial enaotments. It was also held that the doctrine of eseheat was alien to the spirit of free institutions and that 1t had never been applied in this country to a church or charitable corporation. On the part of the United States 1t was contended that congress had authority to repeal all l territorial enactmsnts; that the act iacorpoI- l atipg the church was invalid as an attempt to establish religion contrary to the pro- l visions of the constitution, and that more- over the charter should be annulled for abuse of the granted rights. As when the church. oorporation was dissolved there was no one to whom to turn over the property 1t wal properly escheated to the United States.
 Justice Bradley delivered the opinion Chief Justice Fuller said that he and Jus tices Field and Lamar were constrained tt dissent from this decision. The power O. congress to legislate over the territories wal not incident to the treaty making power ant It's power is restricted directly to tha expressed or implied in the constitution There is no such power granted a that involved in the act under consideration Congress internationally has power to sup press polyganny and 1t Is immateria whether the prime was committed in tn name of religion. Bat congress has no power to seize and coufscate the property o corporations because they may have bee guilty of crime. If the purposes of the fun are such as have been depicted 1t is imposs
 ble to subject it to g purpose as near as poss
