RoAsTs ELIOT.
Hon. j. w. WumpIer Says Nor
mons Are Low and Iiliterate.

President Eliot, Of Harvard college,
has been catching it all over the country
because of the ''taffy" he spread over
the Mormons when he visited Utah
recently. The latest criticism Of Eliots
remarks comes from Minneapolis man
who is we'll acquainted with Utah and
the Mornons. Hon. j. w Wumpler,
now resident OF Minneapolis, used to
be on The bench in Utah. In that
position he became well acquainted with
the Mormon characteristics. In talking
about Utah yesterday he said:
when President Eliot was I'm Utah
he was wined and dlned on several Oe-
casions. Naturally, he was inclined TO
have warm feelings toward the people
who had so royalty entertained him.
That was what actuated him to speak
as he did, without doubt. lie prOba-
bly, said things that he did not mean
or would not have said had he been
better acquainted with his subject.
When he undertakes to advocate state
hood for Utah il is time Tor all
true, loyal American citizens 10
be heard. TO consider statehood
for Utah for moment is an
absurdity. The Mormons can outyote
the Gentiles by 10000 at least. That
means that every Office In Utah would
be occupied by a Mormon. They are, as
a rule, a low and iIliterate class OF peo-
pie aud utterly incapable of managing
official affairs, that is, the mass of them.
The elders, or course, are men OF educa-
lion, and they would carry things as
they might desire. They do not want TO
see MormoDism die, as il would deprive
them of their influence. so the whole
power Of the state would be employed
in keeping ii and pOlygamy alive. 1t is
much better TO leave Utah territory
and let the government appoint the Of

Democratic success Did 1t.

Tie suit Of J. r. Snow, OF Boston. to
recover $500 FROM Il. Demeules was
considered yesterday before Judge
Smith and jury. In 1880, after the Dem
oeratic successes in this state, Snow
was induced TO send consignment OF
lemons valued at 1900 10 Demeules.
He claims that he was induced to do so
by the report OF Dun and Bradstreets
agencies, and accounts which lie had
heard Of this place through the election:
Joe Jepson was also said 10 be one OF
the promoters OF the scheme. However.
when the returns came 10 be made, It
was found that there was a shortage OF
some $500, and suit was commenced
for this amount. The jury found a
verdict in favor OF the plaintiff IN the
full amount, with interest.

Does Peterson Delay Them i?

The grand jury was not in session
yesterday morning. but met at O'Clock
in the afternoon. There is considerable
speculation as to what Is occupying
their attention a. the present time. 1t
is known that all Of the regular cases
from the municipal court have been dis
posed Of as we'll as several ether mat
tiers OF public interest. The general
opinion seems TO be that the jury is
about To take up the Peterson matter,
although as far as known no witness
has been called who could throw any
light oil the workings Of the Office. IL
was thought that they would be ready
10 report yesterday afternoon, but up 10
the hour OF adJourning there was no IN
dicatiOn that they would report until to-
day.

Reatlev Was Prosecuted.

The management of the Merchants
Protective association has received an
swers to several of the letters written
to ascertain the truth about Bea;ley,the
former manager, says the Northwest
Trade, and they all agree that the pur-
pose of the attack on him was evidently
to drive Beatley out of bus mess, and to
prevent him from forming rival asso-
citation, and that the proceedings against
him were veXatious and without founda-
ton. 1t becomes more and more evil
dent that the animus of the re cent at
tack was hostility to the associa ton as
a formidable rival in the collection bu S

THE GROCERs' TRUST.
Another Man Who Frowns on
Combinations.

The cry of trust has again been raised
in connection with the Minneapolis Re
tail Grocers' association. At the last
meeting of the association the bylaws
were so amended that the portion of
stock held by any one grocer can, if he
withdraws, be turned into a general
fund from which the other groeers can
draw 1t. That is part of the procedure
of other combinations. But the trouble
in this case arises over the bread agree
ment AT a recent meeting of the asso-
citation an agreement was signed be-
tween the bakers and grocers, by virtue
of which the bakers sell to the grocers
sixteen loaves of bread for dollar, and
the grocers retail it for five cents loaf.
H. q. Roth. one of the largest grocers
in the city, refuses TO accept the agree
ment, and gives his reasons for SO doing
thus:
Il refused to sign this this agreement
because | considered it a boycott, which
| didn't believe in. am selling bread
costing me So cents at 4 cents per loaf.
The grocerS demand that l sell it at )
cents, and order my baker to charge me
cents per loaf umtil | agree to sell it
at 5 cents. My baker is willing and
satisfied that should sell the bread at
cents, but has found it policy to obey
their commands. / am III sympathy
with the baker, and he with me, but as
matter of policy he complied with the
demand of the Retail Groeers' assOcia
tion,''
Tie grocers have been paying three
cents loaf for their bread. and many
of them have had to sell for the same
price. Hence the combination. Mr..
Roth says he will continue the war un-
til the association comes to terms. The
Northwest Trade, in its current issue,
evidently anticipating some such COM
plant as has been made, has this to say
about combinations:
The retailer today stands between
two fires. The trust, the corporation,
the mutual agreements of importer,
manufacturer and jo6ber on one hand
increase his expenses and lessen his
chances of success; and on the other, a
system of credit dealing, with its en-
evltable percentage of losses, writs to
enguIf him. Competition also in new
form in those vast carvanSaries of retail
trade, Eaown as department stores.
threaten his trade in large towns and
