Abolish the Mormon Commission.

lLusk Herald.l
Something like a year ago the Herald
had occasion to remark that the wav in
which Republican radicalism has pursued
aud prosecuted the Mormons, taking po-
lygamy as a mere pretext, constitutes a re-
markable and shameful chapter in contem-
porary history. 1t is gratifying to note
that one OF the first measures introduced
in the present Democratic congress is a bill
to effectually put an end to such perse-
cution and insure to the Mormon people
all the rights of ordinary American cIti-
zens. Polygamy has ceased to be a tenet
of their religious faith: its practice was
abandoned years ago. That fact, however.
has not served to mitigate the ia
natical bitterness of Republican office
holders and office seekers. The vast ma
iority OF the people of the territory are of
the Mormon faith. That majority will
rule as it ought to. With polygamy out
of the was there is no sound political rea-
son why Mormons should not have all the
rights and privileges that are granted to
Methodists aud other denominations.
They become simply American citizens
entitled to all the privileges of American
citizenship.

Cattle Drifting Back.

The late snow storm which came from
the east and southeast was a good thing
for Wyoming cattlemen. Hundreds and
hundreds of head of range cattle that had
drifted over into Nebraska were driven
back by the storm. Last Saturday r. H.
Brvson run across a bunch of !, 500 east
of here a few miles that seemed to have
become tired Of eating Nebraska feed
aud we're slowly travelling westward. On
Sunday Frank s. Lusk discovered a bunch
of about 500 that had drifted up against
his wire fence which joins town. He
turned them into the lane and they, too,
continued their journey westward.

La Grippe.

The tendency of this disease toward
pneumonia is what makes it dangerous.
La Grippe requires precisely the same
treatment as a severe cold. Chamber
lain's Cough Remedy is famous for its
cure of severe colds. This remedy
effectually counteracts the tendency of
the disease to result in pneumonia. pro
vided the proper care be taken to avoid
exposure when recovering from the
attack. Careful inquiry among the many
thousands who have used this remedy dur
ing the epidemics of the past two years
has failed to discover a single case that
has not recovered or that has resulted in

British Tin-Plate.

Avowedly one of the chief objects OF
the Mckinley tariff was to encourage
the tin-plate industries in the United
States So far the American-made tin
plate is remarkably rare article, and
the fears entertained for the South
Wales tin-plate manufacture have
proved quite groundless. The statis-
tics of exports to the Uuited States dur
ing the last seven months appear to
show that. Notwithstanding the great
increase of import duties since June of
last year, and the enormous demands
for tin-plates in anticipation of rise
just before that date, shipments are now
going on at almost the old rates. The
figures for the first seven months of the
five years from 1888 to date are in

EVERY pearl button used in Missouri
has three cents of Mckinley tax on it
for every cent of actual cost. And in
face of this we have the following:
CHICAGO, Sept. 1s.-Ignatz Zeisler,
secretary OF the Chicago Pearl Button
Factory, filed bill in the Superior
Count to-day asking a receiver for the
corporation, which was organized last
March, with capital of $4,000
fully paid up. Zeisler represents that
the manufacturing of pearl buttons is
an industry practically impossible in
this country. 1t was difficult to obtain
hands for the work required in the
business and strong competition had to
be met. The company owes $1,000,
while it has stock on hand and machin-
cry worth $4,000. Creditors are
pressing their claims, and to save the
business the only remedy is a re-
ceiver.
This comes just nine days after the
letter of acceptance in which Harrison
wrote: another industry that has been
practically created by the Mckinley bill
is the making of pearl buttons. Few
articles coming from abroad were SO
distinctly the product of starvatio n
wages" We believe that the convicts
at Joliet engaged in making Mckinley
pearl buttons are reasonably we'll fed.
This being the case, why does this Nc
Kinley Industry" go into the hands of
a eceiver?-Republic.

WE are creditably informed that a
certain individual from Washington
County lately paid visit to the head
quarters of the Democratic State Cen
trail COMMITTEE in st. Louis. and stated
that it would be well for the campaign
managers to look after Iron County,
that the Democrats down here were in
revolt. and there was no telling what
the result would be in November.
Where this Washington County states
man got his ideas we are at total
loss to understand, for there is no foun-
dation for them. Anyway, isn't it
just the least bit cheeky for Washing
ton County to question the Democracy
of Iron. Look at the statistics and
