SIMPLE JUSTICE TO IDAHO.
The Majority OF the Committee
faVOrS Its Admission.

faVOrS tIS HumtSSiOn.
WASHINGTON, March 5.-The house
committee on territories has completed
it's report on the bill to admit Idaho into
the union, and it will soon be presented
to the house. The only opposition TO.
the admission of Idaho under the con-
stitutiOn which the legal voters of the
territory adopted unanimously, came
from the Morlnons. They protested,
says the report, because OF a section in
the constitution which disfrancnlsed
persons practicing or preaching bigamy
or poIygamy. During the discussion
before the committee in regard to the
legality of this clause, Justice Field. Of
the United States supreme court, del!v-
cred the opinion of the court affirm
ing the cOnstitutiOnality of this
clause. The report concludes
There is nothing in the statute
or the clause in the constitution which
debars good citizen or one entitled to
the franchise from exercising political
privileges. Ii the Mormons, or any
other persons, belong to an organization
which teaches and encourages acts de-
fined 10y law to be crimes, tney should
not be intrusted with the franchise.
Whenever the Mormon church aban-
dons its advocacy and practice of polyg-
amy and bigamy, there Is nothing in
this clause to prevent its members from
voting. This Mormon question has
been troublesome one for years, and
has been standing disgrace to our gov
ernment. The results show that this
statute of Idaho has done mure TO dis
courage polyEamy and biga ny among
the Idaho Mormons than all other esiS-
latiOn combined. The evils of Nor
monism had become SO great in that ter
rtory that all the Murmons, regard
less of party, united in strongly urging
this legislation. 1t is b lIeved by the
committee that in Idaho, at ledSt. they
will place themselves in accord with
American institutions and sentiments
in order to enjoy the privileges of
American citizens. The report is being
held back until minority report. which
it is understood Representatives
Springer and Mansur will prepare. op-
posing the passage of the bill, can be
drawn up. 1t is said they favor an On-
nibuS bill that will provide for the adj
mission of Idaho and other territories
at one time.

to the state prison inspectors" This
was a bomb touched off in the farmers
alliance convention yesterday afternoon
by Gen. j. ii. Baker, of Blue Earth, in
the course of discussion on the SUBJ
ject of ''bnding twine." The last legis-
lature authorized the governor to APP
point committee to investigate and re-
port upon the advisablity OF manufact-
urng binding twine at the states prison
at Saltwater. This committee was ap-
pointed by tie governor from the ranks
of the prison inspectors. and as the gem
eral asserts. proceeded East in a leisure
ly manner to take testimony and make
their investigation.
''And to whom did this committee
go for their testimony?" asked Gen.
Baker, with fire In his martial eye.
Turning over the pages of the report
made by Inspectors Dunn and Temple,
he said:
"Io William Deering. Of the Deering
Harvester Works. If wanted to learn
how to wreck a Minnesota railroad |
should 60 to Jay Gould, and il desired
to learn how to kill off twine manufact-
uring in Minnesota should go to Will
lam Deering. What did Mr.. Deering
say? Well, he said binding twine
couldn't be manufactured in Minnesota.
A number of others like Mr.. Deering
were visited, and their testimony
agreed with his. But this committee
did find a man. an honest man who
spoke the truth, and he said
that there was no question that
good bidding twine could be
manufactured from flax, which also pro-
duced seed, and it turns out little fur
tller on that this man made this commit
tee proposition, of which the farmers
of this state never heard. He offered to
equip factory and agreed to turn out a
certain amount of twine at lower cost
than it could be bought for in the East,
If the state gave him reasonable bonus,
or he offered to act as manager for ten
wears for the state for part OF the
profits made from the business at the
prices at which the product OF the fac
tory sold in the market. This, gentle
men. is proposition of which you never
heard word. Let those who have had to
with it answer for their neglect. The
farmers of the state have been robbed
of the chance TO get their twine at cost,
besides making the growing of flax a
profitable business"

WASHINGTON, March 5.-Capt. John

ported" in naval parlance, means that
he has complained of his superior's
action and demanded satisfac ton by a
court of inquiry or other means in
manner to be decided by the secretary.
A private letter from the squadron
gives the cause of the trouble. When
the fleet was sailed out of the port of
ToulOn every one was astoniShed to see
signals hOisted on the flagship, order
ing the commanding officer of the Allan
ia under arrest, and directing the eXecu-
tive officer. Lieut.. Commander Condor,
to take command. For some reason or
other the Atlanta had gone out of her
course and broken up the sailing forma-
ton. Without giving her commander
any opportunity for explanation he was
publicly degraded before the whole
feet. Naval officers declare such
proceeding unprecedented. and claim
that Capt. Howell was evidently not to
blame for the supposed mismanagement
of the ship, as shown by the fact that
he has since been reinstated in COM
mand. 1t is significant that Howell was
about the only officer in the feet who
was not selected for duty by Walker,
and it is said that the relations between
