MAY BE ADMITTED.

Utah is again asking admission as a
state, under different circumstances
than heretofore. The polygamic hydra
is believed to have his head fatally
mashed. That and its natural relation
to hierarchy that sought political as
we'll as spiritual power has been the
only obstacle rightfully in the way of
admission. The population is much
larger than that of any of the last quar-
tette admitted, in fact three times that
OF at least one of them. Now the gov
eminent has taken away the church
property and reduced the system to the
basis of other denominations. A strong
Gentle sentiment has grown up and is
active in pushing the admission move
ment. This would not be the fact if it
was not evident that the Mormon power
is fatally broken. The Gentiles believe
it would be quite safe now to allow
statehood, with the limitations in the
constitution of the TUCKER-EDMUNDs
act in regard to suffrage. The leading
Mormon organ at Salt Lake, the Herald,
has recently been sold to the Gentiles,
and takes its stand with one of the
great political parties, advocating ad-
mission with the restriction named. 1t
is reported that the old division of Nor
mon and Gentle has passed away, and
both the Mormon and Gentle vote will
be divided on political lines, as in the
states. Under these circumstances
there can be no tenable objection to
granting the 100000 people, there home
rule and participation in the general
government. If the matter is pressed,
as now anticipated, at the next session,
admission will probably be fact within
the coming year. 1t is prosperous
region, and will make full average
state in early time.

European buyers of wheat than hereto
fore. France has tried to keep out the
foreign article, but the great shortage
of the present crop has compelled re-
duction of the tariff. The agricultural
interests in the chamber of deputies
were compelled to a compromise to
avert the entire removal of the duty.
1t was almost prohibitory before, but
now, at francs for -four and francs
for wheat per hectoliter,iit is believed
there will be large demand for Amer
lean wheat. The duty is little more
than 20 cents bushel, but that
will allow imports at a proit. The
discrimination against flour is in
the interest of the French millers. They
prefer the wheat OF this country to that
of Russia or Hungary, as 1t has supe-
rrior milling qualities. Spain and Italy
have been supplied with wheat largely
from France, and will add to the de-
mand for the American article. 1t is
fortunate for the wheat growers of this
country that the commercial stupidity
of the tariff makers is being overcome
by natural causes. The crops on the
other side fail, and this country prom
iseS to have an uncommon surplus that
even McKinleyism cannot shut out or
the big markets Oh the other side. Per
haps some supporter of that policy will
find some way TO credit it with the in
creased demand abroad.

A PRETTY EXHIBITION.

There is nothing more amazing than
the ignorance of public men, unless it
be their effrontery in displaying it. For
example, here in the year of our Lord
eighteen hundred and ninety-one, with
the printing presses buZzing and books
for sale at the lowest figure, ROBERT G.
INGERSOLL, king of epigrammists aud
prince of takers, informs an audience
of intelligent people that the origin of
all religion was in the worship of the
sun, and that myths and mythology are
but the story Of natures phenomena.
And this, too, in Minneapolis, famous as
he seat of a university, where there is
great public library, debating societies
and lecture lyceumS, where culture
marks every mans gait, and where the
secrets OF grammar and the profunditieS
of llnguiSticS are on even children'S
lips at all hours OF the day, including
meal times.
Does Col. 1NGERSOLL really believe
what he says, and if SO. where has he
been for the past twenty-five years?
People used to have some faith in the
sun myth theory of the origin of re-
igion, but the whole idea was knocked
silly quarter OF a century ago. No
body nowadays, who knows anything,
takes any stock in it. Has not Col.
INGERsoLL ever heard of Sir JOHN LUB-
BOOK, or Prof. E. B. TAYLOR, or HER-
BERT SPENCER and his carefully COM
piled sociological data? Does not Col.
INGERSoLL know about Prof. MCLEI-
T.AN'S Investigations into primitive
marriage rites, or even about Sir HENRY
NAMES views on primitive society?
Has he never read De CoULANGE's
book. "The Ancient City,? If he has
no acquaintance with these authorities.
he has no right to figure as public
teacher on the origin of religion. And,
if he is familiar with them, he must be
aware that all scholars of position agree
that, if there is any human origin of
God worship, the place to look for it is
in the popular belief in the existence
of ghosts. The sun myth theory gave
way ages ago to the animistic theory of
the origin of religion. A pretty exhibit
ton Of himself Col. In GERsoLL makes
lvancing an exploded notion; and
that. too, i'll the city of Minneapolis.

THE SUNDAY QUESTION AGAIN

Petitions against Sunday theatrical
perfor mances are as plentiful in St.
Paul to-day as pies in New England,
and are welcomed in various quarters
with various degrees of enthusiasm.
Some people sign them quite readily,
others after some persuasion, and some
very good people refuse to do so at all.
The whole thing seems to be largely
matter of sentiment and inherited pref
udlce, and neither side has any right to
question the sincerity or the judgment
of the other.
When it comes to an argument, some
very remarkable notions are advanced
by the partiSans of either cause. What
for example could be more curious than
the idea that because tie public patron
ICES Sunday theaters, it should be al
lowed to have them? And yet, this
reason has been seriously given by some
of the managers, who declare that the
matter is to be decided by the law Of
supply and demand. If there were
anything in this, we should not only
have Sunday theater and Sunday base
ball games, but hundred other things
which all decent people would agree
thoroughly disreputable. The mere
fact that great many people want a
thing is 10 evidence that they ought to
be allowed to have it. 1t must also be
considered whether it is good for them
and for society at large to permit the
qualification of their desires.
On the other hand there is much force
in the position of Manager BIXBY, of
the Grand opera house. He says that
it is all very well for rich people, who
have leisure on weekday evenings and
social comforts at home on the Sabbath,
to sign petitions for the closing of the
theaters on Sunday; but he suggests
that if valuable opinion is to be
had, it should be sought in the class
VIII ich patroniZeS fl e theater Oil that
day. This is made up partly of the
rougher element in the community, but
partly of people who do not get through
their work in time to attend on any
other evening, aud partly of the large
floating population Of our city who
might otherwise loiter around the hotel
corridors or perhaps find distraction in
less innocent pleasures. If such people
were asked to sign the petitions. and
their reasons for refusing we're recorded
and compiled, they would supply ma
terial for very interesting symposium
OH the subject.
1t may, however, be recorded as
fact that, no matter how many sigma
lures are received to the petitions, the
theaters will continue open on Sunday
nights unless they are closed by law.
And it is even doubtful whether a law
could close them, because no law Is ca
pable of enforcement unless it is sup
portedby popular opinion, and popular
opinion in st. Paul seems to be in favor
of SUNDAY theaterS.

A CHANCE FOR THEM.

If there is much earnestness in its
support, the representatives in the COM
ing congress who are the expression of
the agitation that produced the late con-
ference at Cincinnati. have chance
to develop at Washington next winter
one of the planks materially. The con-
vention repeated the declaration of
many of its local constituents in favor
of graduated income tax. This is
understood to mean that an Increasing
rate of taxation shall be had upon all
incomes in excess of perhaps $1,000.
There is, in no important quarter, anv
contention of the equity of such meas
ure; but the opposition is vehement
against the pIacticability of enforcing
any taxation of incomes. 1t is con-
coded to be the fairest of all measures of
taxation, but it is insisted that it
induces moral code that condones
all sorts of Justification requisite to
battle the tax gatherer. A Republican
member of the congress-elect says:
'The income tax is good deal like the
flying machine-a thing greatly to be
desired, but which has not yet been
made PRACTICAL The conservative
scientists now at work upon the flying

SUBSIDIZED THEATERs.

The annual statement of the New
York Metropolitan Opera House COM
pany. just published, shows how ex-
| pensive is the maintenance of the
alter of high grade. The total loss for
the past season foots up the large sum
| of fifty-four thousand dollars. This is
twenty-five thousand dollars greater
than the deficit of the year before, but
there has been no time when the bal
ance sheet has shown a profit. When
the opera house first opened, its man
agement was entrusted to Mr.. ABBEY,
who i'll one series of Italian opera sac
rificed the total fortune he had accumu-
lated during a life of successful labor.
Since the company has undertaken the
control OF its own property the result
has not been so serious, but it has been
impossible to make the enterprise self
supporting.
This was expected when the place
was built, and the plan included an an
nual subscription of about the size
which has been demanded. The enter
tainments given excel, in sumptuous-
ness of mounting and perfection of art,
any performances which have ever been
presented in this country, and such
standard of necessity requires generous
contributions to make it possible. The
opera in Europe is maintained through
government bounties, and in this coun-
try has to rely on private assistance if
1t is to be presented in a satisfactory
shape. No other city in the Union eX-
cept New York has theater which
continues its performances in Snite of a
constant loss, but no city in the coun-
try has theater of the same kind as
the New York Metropolitan opera
house.
The future Of the stage is limitless in
its possibilities, and in one form or an
other it is bound to provide the chief
pleasure of the masses. No other branch
of art embraces SO many sorts of enjoy
ment, and no other art has made such
great progress in the past quarter of a
century. The best theatrical perform
anceS, however. can never be very re-
muneratiVe. They involve so many de-
tails, and the employment OF talent of
such varied and expensive kinds. that
their cost exceeds what their audiences
can be induced to pay. There will come
time when people will leave money
not only to colleges, schools and libra
RES, but also to theaterS, so that they
may be enabled to give entertainments
OF the highest grade for the delight and
education of the people without suffer
ing the financial loss which would at
tend such ventures If they were at
tempted without the help of a subsidy.

Arkansas EREAK

Among the queer things in Kansas is
the State gathering to be held to-mor-
row OF the knights of reciprocity. 1t is
claimed that there are 200 lodges in that
state, and that it will be at once dlffused
to all the states. Its scope, as outlined,
indicates that it may be quite as much
an organization to follow BLAINE as for
any other purpose. The reciprocity it
possesses is limited to the American
continents, and probably has its eye
steadily southwark. 1t will not, how
ever, effect very much as a foil to the
Alliance if it relies upon the farmers,
as they are looking for much advantage
to them in the sort of trades to be de-
yeloped with the Spanish-American
countries. People can see a good thing
without having the portals of an oath
bound lodge to see through.

WOULD BE BETTER.

There has been some question whether
the Cincinnati gathering of the new
party took any ground on the tariff.
The Chicago Tribune, however, under
stands it to declare against any protect
i've feature in the tariff, in this declara-
ton:
Believing the doctrine of equal rights to
all and special privileges to none, we demand
that taxation-national, state or municipal
shall not be used to build up one interest or
class at the expense of another
This evidently would cover the tariff
question, but does not give it the une-
quivocal position It's Importance de-
mands. Protectionists bubble over it,
and affect to deny that the protective
system involves the building up of one
system at the expense of others. A
clean-cut, ringing declaration of the in
justice OF the system, with an omission
of some wild faneies in finance. would
have given vastly more promise to the
movement.

PROGRESS MAKING.

The Indian question is in fair way
to final adjustment under the policy of
inducing the natives who look back to
the unknown for ancestry, to take lands
III severalty. 1t is a slow and tedious
process often to induce them to abandon
the socialism of savagery and take the
first essential step toward the new life.
-Four or five years ago, when the initial
effort was made, there were about 25O,-
900 Indians who held reservations with
an area of more than 100000 square
miles. Of course, this was not all land
fit for tiilage, but there were many mill
ions of acres of good agricultural and
grazing lands, more than all the In
dians could have any use for if
each of them was induced to take
land enough for subsistence with
individual possession. This would re-
lease vast areas for the white settlers.
The greatest difficulty in working out
this policy has been found with the
older Indians. The habits and regimen
of long lifetime, with an INDECENT and
Irrational nature, could not be over
come by any elevating considerations.
| The most hopeful elements are the
| younger ones. The figures recently
| given out by the Indian bureau show,
however, most encouraging progress.
The past year the United States has re-
covered from the Indians some $4,000
| square miles of territory, Includ-
| ing the Fort Berthold reservation,
in North Dakota, recently opened to
| settlement. This is an area nearly
| half as large as that of Illinois,
or more than three times the whole
| of Massachusetts, not all of these lands
have been acquired by allotment, but in
year and half over 1900 Indians,
most Of them heads of families. have
taken lands in severalty. 1t is believed
that with the impulse of what has been
done the work will make far greater
progress in the future. 1t is being
gradually developed in fourteen reser-
vationS where there are 5000 entitled to
lands. In dozen other reservations
some work has been done or the surveys
are being made. The partial failure of
the crops in some of the Dakota dis
tricts the past year or two has been a
drawback, but there is fair promise that
in reasonable period the Western In
dian will become as inoffensive as the
relics of tribes in the old states.
