VERY STRANGE.

The Omaha World- Herald says that
SAUNDERS of the Utah commission CLOCKS
with no favor on the attempt that is now
being made, through bill in congress, to
abolish the commission on the ground that
it has served its purpose. Governor
THOMAS of Utah was in the city Tuesday.
and he and Ex-Governor SAUNDERS talked
the matter over, both agreeing that the
commission should be continued, at least a
year or two. 1t is not probable that any
further move will be made in congress
until after the Democratic national conven-
tion.m
We occasionally run across statements
in the newspapers which are simply mex
plicable and the above is one of them.
Governor SAUNDERS is sane and has the
reputation of being blessed with a remark
able degree of intelligence, hence the mys-
terry of why he should think the Utah COM
mission ought to be continued. Why man
should want an Office which does not take
him away from his other duties month a
year and which Office pays him 5000 per
annum and expenses cannot be explained
by any process with which we are fami
liar. Our Omaha contemporary must
have gotten things mixed somewhat It
cannot be that SAUNDERS has been quoted
correctly; or, perhaps the reporter has
been talking to somebody else under the
impression that the father-in-law of Prince
RUSSELL was being interviewer. If this
latter suggestion prove correct the ex-
governor should be searched out and his
true sentiments obtained before injustice
has been done him. If this shall not be
done the first thing we know some re-
porter will think he is licensed to saw

ful statements should not appear in print

CHURCH MEMBERSHIP.

Among the more interesting of the sta
tistics Of the last census are those in con-
nection with churches. DR.. 81. K. CARROLL
had charge of this branch of the census
work, and he contributes to the current
number Of the Forum an article containing
summary of many of the important facts
gathered by the investigation. Compare
lively few people are aware of the great
number Of religious sects in the United
States. Everybody knows there are Meth
odists, Presbyterians, Catholics, and so on,
but everybody does not know there are ff-
teen distinct branches of Methodists, nine
Of Presbyterians, an equal number or more
OF Baptists, etc. AL of the larger churches
are divided into sects or branches differing
more or less materially. DR.. CARROLL.
thinks the number of the sects is conclus-
i've of the utmost religious freedom in this
county, and says:
No tendency of the time seems to me so power
flu an impulse as that towards liberalization.
This explains In large degree 1 think the
multiplication OF divisions. The division of the
Presbyterian Church in 1887 into new and old
school branches was the most striking instance
our history has afforded Of the liberal ideas in
theology, not even excepting the Unitarian con-
troversy among the Congregational Churches
This is said to be practical and material
istic age, when religion is not asserting It
self with IS much influence as formerly,
but the census figures do not seem to sus-
tain this idea. The membership increase
during the decade from 1850 to 1890 was
enormous, suggesting that after all said to
the contrary Christianity in the United
States is by no means on the decline Ac-
cording TO DR.. CARROLL, the Methodists.
whose denomination is the largest and
most aggressive, having a membership of
2 500, 600, gained more than half q million in
the ten years, the percentage of increase
being 30 per cent, or per cent. more
than the increase of population. The Pres
byterians show Ell increase Of 80 per cent.
the Lutherans GO per cent; but even this
high percentage is surpassed by the Jews.
who increased from $4,000 members of
synagogues in 1880 to 10000 members in
1890, an increase Of 100 per cent The Con
gregational church increased 80 per cent.
The returns of the Catholic church in 1880
were obviously incorrect, as the showing
of the Catholic increase is less than is per
cent, the estimated Catholic population
being nearly $500, 600. The total number
of communicates of all denominations, ac
cording to the census of 1890. IS u, SOC, 600
as against less than 10000 900 in lsSO-an
average gain Of more than rs per cent. So
far as statistical view OF church mem
bers can make showing Of the progress
OF the churches, there is no such lack of
interest in religion as among many
circles Of thought there is supposed to be.

PREMATURE.

The silver convention in Washington last
month was not formidable affair either
as to its membership or the influence it ex-
ercised. The calling of the convention is
now pretty generally conceded to have been
mistake, as the response showed failing
strength on the part of the silver league.
But the chief mistake was in one Of the
resolutions adopted, namely:
That we will not support Tor q legislative or
executive Office any candidate who is not thor
oughly committed by platform and declaration
10 the full restoration of the monetary system
violently disturbed by the legislation demone-
thing silver in 1873
There were so few delegates at the con-
vention that if they all observe faithfully
the pledge as above, their action will not
affect in the slightest degree the candidates
to be voted for this year. The only per-
sons affected viii be the delegates them
selves. who will merely lose their votes
ana be deprived of the pleasure of partici-.
pating in the campaign. The Republicans
have made their nomination and framed
their platform. and both are directly an
tsgonized by the silver conventions resoiu-
oppoBed to silver unless the other great
nations will join the United States in max
ing silver money metal its value being
fixed by the gold standard. The most pro
nounced goldite in the country stands upon
precisely the same platform. The Repub-
lican party at Minneapolis the other day,
gave no indication Of an intention to ad-
vance a step in the direction Of the remon-
citation of silver 1t adopted silver
resolution which, If it means anything at
all, means that the G. 0. p. is willing that
silver shall be money if all the silver that
can be purchased in the bullion market for
a gold dollar shall be put into the
silver dollar. 1t is virtually the law today
The miner can get money for his product
on the terms proposed by the Minneapolis
resolution. Inasmuch as he can obtain dol
lars for his silver it isn't necessary for HIN
to have the metal coined, as the mint stamp
would mean nothing beyond declaration
of the bullion value, which can be as
readily stated on the bars. The silver con-
vention delegates cannot therefore con-
sistently support Mir. HARRISON or the Re
publican party this year.
Within ten days the national Democracy
will assemble in Chicago, and in their plat
form will necessarily say something con
corning silver. What that something will
be of course cannot now be told. but he
would be reckless man who would say
that the convention next week would &c
clare in favorsof the Tree and unlimited
coinage of silver on the present ratio of the
two money metals. We expect the declara-
ton will be Of q non-committal character,
and that the nominee OF the convention
will be a man who will favor silver pro-
vided the commercial world will agree to It.
Under the circumstances the late silver
conference was more premature than wise,
for whilst it did not affect either of the
two great parties, to be consistent with
themselves and their declarations the dele
gates TO the congress viii have to keep out
Of the national campaign this year.

coPYRIGHTiSG NEWS.

New York paper, the SIN, is now copy
righted in its entirety. nc other paper being
permitted 10 copy from its pages, even if
giving the customary credit. The prohibi-
ton applies to news as well as other mat
ter, and it is said the publishers cause the
careful reading Of their contemporaries IN
order to make an ,sexamplen of the first
paper which violates the copyright law by
transferring to its columns anything from
the columns of the sun 1t is likely that a
prosecution will soon be instituted, for
while the Sun is not entirely reputable in
political sense il is one of the most brilliant
of newspapers, and its pages contain many
things which are enticing TO the publishers
of other papers, and It's enterprise as
collector of news will be very ept
to be taken advantage of by other
journals. The suit will be an in
teresting one and will necessarily
attract the attention of publishers gener-
ally, especially if it shall bs laid with refer
ence to news item. The English courts
have held that news cannot be copyrighted,
except IS to the form in which it is given;
thatis, by changing the language one pa
per may use the news of any other paper
though the item may have cost money and
appear as copyrighted. If a similar inter
probation of the copyright law were to be
given In this country it would not avail
newspaper much to copyright the most val
liable part of its contents, the news, for it
would be easy enough, and in most in
stances preferable, to rewrite the matter
with the view to destroying it's Identity
and hiding the fact that it was taken from
another paper.
The New York Sun has the courage and
the money to test the question in the
courts, and other papers will be glad when
the test shall be made

IDAHo's WEAK GOVERNOR.

1t is not among the probabilities that
Governor WILEY of Idaho, will be re-
elected. 1t may be doubted that be will be
nominated, although he is a candidate.
Like the gentleman who occupies the chief
executive Office of Wyoming, WILEY
GEMS misft, in that he is several sizes
TOO small for the place.
1t will be remembered that q
few days ago, following the send
ing out of some highly sensation
al dispatches from Boise, MULLAN
and Wallace in reference to the miners
strike, Governor WILEY, with a great
flourish of trnmpets, proceeded to the Ceur
d'Alenes for the avowed purpose of investi-
eating the trouble between the mine-owners
and the men. He spent several days n the
region. and upon his return to Boise on tho
4th instant issued proclamation in which
he said property was ieopardized, the peo-
pie terrorlzed, the law set at defiance, men
were prevented from working, Shoshone
county was in state of insurrection, and
martial law would be eforoced if that con-
dition of things continued.
1t seems that the governor confined his
investigations TO the mine-owners, the
miners being ignored, and it transpires
that in mis- proclamation he greatly exag-
gerated the gravity of the situation, the re-
suit being general indignation throughout
the entire region affected by the strike.
Indignation meetings have been held and
resolutions adopted setting forth the facts
of the governors failure to NEST the miners
or even to visit some of the places which he
scaudalizes. At Gem, on the evening of
the 9TH, citizens meeting was held at
which the following, among other similar
resolutions, were adopted, and copies sent
to the governor and to the leading papers
of the Pacific coast:
Resolved, That we, the citizens Of Gem, have
been greatly disappointed and consider that we
have been grossly instlted by the actions Of the
governor of our state in visiting the Cnur d
Alene country for the purpose of Investigating
the controversy, where he did not visit nor see
III TO visit single mining camp in the Ceur d
Alenes
resolved. That We, the citizens, DO hereby de-
nounce the action OF the governor and his proc
lamation as being unjust and uncalled for in
every way, shape and form. and also that we
eectic n to elect governor for the people and
not for monopolies.
II is understood that the strike has
already ended, or soon viii end, the miners
returning to work on terms satisfactory to
them and the mine owners; but Governor
WILLEY's course has been such as to
sntsgonizs not only the miners Of the
Ceur d'Alenes. but the working people
generally of Idaho. He has brought the
state into ilI-repute by showing weakness
and indecision, and has helped to spread
abroad the impression that lawlessness
prevailed, whereas the miners have been
exceedingly careful to keep within the law.
SO that no excuse could be had for taking
advantage of them in the contest with
their employers. II has been unfortunate
for both Idaho and Wyoming that they
began their career as states with weak and
executives.

TnG VOTE

An analysis Of the vote by which Mr..
HARRISON was renominated on Friday
would prove anything but encouraging to
bis friends. II one were TO simply look at
the totals he would conclude that the
president is decidedly popular, being the
choice Of the overwhelming majority of
the people. But when one notes whence
the ballots came he wonders that a
great party dares entar the mighty
contest under such a leader. The clerk
announce that of the whole number Of
votes, 9O4, MIR. HARRISON received 535, the
number necessary to q choice being 453
That sounds well, but when we come to
examine the table we discover that 242 of
tho Presidents ballots came from states
and territories which cannot possibly give
him single electoral vote. Nearly one
half Of his entire vote was cast by the
southern states and the territories, all of
which are either Democratic or without
voice In the electoral college. OF the re-
mainoer Of his ballots 81 came from So
called doubtful states in the north, these
same states casting 62 votes for other caa-
didates Even in strong Republican states
the msiorities were against the nominee,
as instance Pennsylvania which gave 10 TO
HARRISON and 45 to others; California, to
HARRISON and 10 against; Colorado, s
against; Maine, y against; Michigan. Z for
and q against; Minnesota, s for and 10
against; Nevada, against; Ohio, 2 for and
A against.
Mr.. HARRISON really poses as the candi-
date of Republicans in Democratic states,
and these Republicans are almost exclu-
sively either federal oflce-holders or their
direct representatives. He is not the choice
Of the effective part of the Republican
party. He is the minority candidate in
thrse states upon which be must rely for
election and is really the minority candi-
date in three of the so-called doubtful
states, and would undoubtedly be In the
minority in another (Indiana) were he not
a resident of the state
Under the circumstances the Democracy
would have to be guilty of an extraordinary
amount of laundering, in their nomina-
tons, in their platform and in their cam
paign. 10 avoid glorious victory next
November.
