GIVE urAH A CHANCE.

The prospects for the admission of
Utah into the Union are much better
than at any previous time, and the SEN
timent in favor of admission is much
stronger in congress than was antici-
pated n year ago. The territory
possesses all requirements necessary and
thus far the fight against admission
has been based solely upon the ground
of the lack Of patriotism on the part of
the great majority of voters who have
heretofore allied themselves with the
Mormon church. But the old Mormon
church is a thingof the past. As an oil
garchy, it has disappeared, and with the
enforcement Of United States laws
polygamy has been abandoned and the
church to-day is like any other church
organization in the limitations of it's gov
erning powers. The old Brigham Young
idea, that Mormonism war destined to
combine the elements of church and
state to the degree OF establishing a
nation and country of Its own, has long
ago been given up. Why two hundred
and fifty thousand people, who obey the
laws and to all apparent purposes are
good citizens, should be deprived Of the
advantages of statehood is not made
plain. In stating it's opposition to the
movement to bring Utah into the Union,
the Salt Lake Tribune bases it's argu-
ment on a seemingly absurd proposition.
1t says; 'there ought to be more time
given for the Mormon people to become
fully conversant with both the princi-
pies upon which the government rests
and the policy Of the different great
parties and the handling of the machin-
cry of politics." -.
Is it possible that Mormon knowledge
Of governmental affairs, after the interest
shown by the United States government
in Mormonism, is not quite equal to that
Of the residents of other territories? Or
claims is existent due to the failure of
Mormon leaders to instruct their people
on the simple forms which every school
boy learns before he is fifteen years old?
1t is hardly to be believed that the aver
age citizen Of Utah, Mormon or Gentle,
is not quite as conversant with the prin-
ciples Of the United States government
and it's forms as the average citizen of
Montana, Idaho or the territories. And
certainly the Tribune furnishes no
reasons for believing that the Mormons
are deficient in their aptitude or know
ledge of politics. If this ignorance, as
alleged, exists and is an entirely suf-
Gent reason for leaving Utah out of the
Union, how would the Tribune have
matters remedled?: Would it place an
educational qualification on the terri
tory for admission? Would it establish
schools for the instruction of the people
in governmental affairs? And if this
were done how would it determine when
educational requirements were suf.

Star chamber Proceedings At the Third
% Party Convention.
ANACONDA, Jan. 19.-[Special. The Labor
political convention spent the entire day in
discussing the a%dvisability of forming a
third party in Montana. The debate was
vigorous, and at times sharp. No conolu-
sion has yet been reached: A vote will be
taken tomorrow. The convention still adj
heres to its policy of secrecy, SO that it il
impossible to give any outline of the
speeches. It is thought by many tonight
that the movement to establish an indie
pendent party will fail, but aome Of the
delegates opposed to such action are going
home and the third party people may carry
the day. The convention has adopted a
resolution demanding the abolition Of the
truck system, that is, the system Of COM
pany stores. That is the only action the
delegates are ready to make public.

In is said that the friends Of Lieu
tenant-G Governor Richards will push his
candidacy for the gu~bernatorial noml-
nation, on the ground that his invaluable
services during the first legislative ses-
sion should be- rewarded. One Of the.
shining virtues Of the republican party
is gratitude, and it is, therefore, not i'm
probable that Richards will receive
recognition. On the other hand it is
probable that the voters of Montana
will emphasize their views as to the
merits Of the recognition.

New Evidence for Graves.

of Dr.. Graves assert that they disco vered
important evidence in the doctors favor.
They say one of the prosecutions wit

persons. while under the influence of
liquor, that he sent the bottle of poison to
Mrs. Barnaby. The person to whom no
told this gives as q reason for not coming
forward before and telling it, that they did
not care to become mixed up in the case. 1t
is expected that the appeal for a new trial
will be argued before the supreme court
Wednesday.
