Mormons and the Government Authorities
We believe there are no where in the Union a
more loyal people than the Latter-day Saints
They know no other country except this. They
expect 10 live and die on this soil.
To be at peace with the government and in
harmony with their fellow-citizens who are no;
Of their faith. and TO share in the confidence OF
the government and people, our people have
voluntarily put aside something which ell their
lives they have believed to be q sacred princi-
pie. AS shepherds OF patient and
suffering people, we ask amnesty for them, and
pledge our Faith and honor for their future.

slight offense, but when woman scratches,

There may be certain fxity of the teeth,

WEST VIRGINIA.

1t seems little curious that although
West Virginia was made state for the
purpose of adding to the Republican num-
Der of Senators and Representatives it is
reserved for time thirty years after the
event to claim it on that SIDE OF course
during the war and reconstruction period,
when tests of loyalty were made to be
equivalent to tests of Republicansm, West
Virginia, like all the region dominated
by The military, was always counted on
that SIDE But since then the common
wealth born of "an independent act of rev.
olution," as Mr.. LINcoLN's attorney gen
eral stigmatized it, has registered itself
with the Democracy. That there is any
question about its Democratic fealty now
is owing to the influx of imported negro
voters under the manipulation OF q band of
politicians, of which the present secretary
of war is the head. Hundreds and thous-
ands of black mon have been put to work
in the coal and iron mines, and by Novem-
Der they will have been there long enough
TO vote.
The probability is that Secretary ELK1Ns
will be the Republican candidate for gov
SIuUI. ne mas COr0S OF money, IS lntl-
mately associated with all the great rail-
road and corporate interests, is a skilled
manager of affairs, is ambitious, schemlng
and tireless. Judge Corr, who was the
last Republica candidate, may be more
popular, but he has been disposed of by his
appointment, through ELKINs' influence, to
the United States circuit bench, which is
about to be confirmed by the Senate On the
Democratic side, the prominent candidates
are Colonel McCoRKLE, and State Senator
EAsToN, though there is strong under
current for Hon. WILLIAM L.. WILSON.
Mr.. w. would probably accept only in
the event of it becoming party necessity
The legislature to be elected this fall will
choose Senator, and the chances are fav-
orable that Senator FAULKNER will sue
coed himself, as he deserves to do The
legislative ticket is pretty sure, even
though West Virginia goes Republican on
the state and electoral tickets. But even
for these strong fight will be made by the
Democracy, with no intention of conceding
victory to the other party.

tion involved In the contest The issue
was plainly joined, and the result sig-
nifed victory of the moderate oppo-y
nents of protection. Mr. Mills was de-
liberately put aside for the purposefof
evading and postponing the promised
revision of the tariff in the interest of
free trade. Crisp is at heart free
trader like Mills, of course, but he is
not brave and candid about it like
Mills. and that explains his election.
When Mr.. Watterson talks about the
necessity of constructive craftsmanship
he conveniently disregards the fact
that the democratic party clearly and
conclusively defined its position upon
the tariff in the platform of 1888. That
platform still stands as the highest au-
thoritative statement of its doctrine
and purpose So far as constructive
craftsmanship with respect to the tariff
is concerned, from a democratic point
of view, it was fully illustrated in the
Mills bill. The party indorsed that
measure in distinct and enthusiastic
terms, and gave fair notice that it pro-
posed to fight the matter out on that
line. Mr.. Watterson practically says
that the campaign of 1888 did not count,
and that the democrats are not bound
by what they then advocated. He
would have us forget that there was a
democratic house only few years be-
fore the present one, and that it took
positive and final action upon the tariff.
That chapter of political history is still
fresh i'll the minds of the people. They
remem Der all about the bill that gave
Mr. Mills his prominence as party
teacher and leader. 1t was construc-
tive craftsmanship of character that
cannot now be lightly dis missed Tie
party need not hope to escape respon-
sibility for it by humiliating the man
who prepared it. The record has been
made, and it cannot be rubbed out IL
the work of tariff reform is to proceed,
as Mr.. Watterson says, until the duties
are reduced to strictly revenue basis,
then the selection of Mr. Crisp for
speaker, mainly because of his lack Of
sympathy with that theory, was a pre-
meditated fraud and a gross violation
of the obligations Of partisan loyalty
and consistency.-St Louis Globe Dem

ARBITRATION OR WAR ?

Low VIII the Affair with Chill be Settled,
For Settlement There Must Be-ArbItra-
tion Would be Most Humane, But There
are Some Things that Arbitration Can
Not Settle.
WASHINGTON, Jan. 19.-The report is
IN circulation again that the difficulty
with Chilli will be settled by arbitra-
ton, but the authority for it could not
be learned. 1t is said, however, to be
good. The programme is said to be to
have an outside power, presumably
England, to offer her services as arbi-
traitor.
Mr.. Cummings, of New York, said:
Il am in favor of war if Chilli refuses to
apologize and pay an indemnity to
those people on the evidence"
Congressman Morse, when asked
what he thought of war with Chilli,
said he believed that it would be cruel
and barbarous and against the arbitra-
ton policy of the nineteenth century in
settling disputes between nations. He
said further: ave undoubtedly have q
case against Chilli. but we can afford to
let it stand to their debt upon our
books, and bide our time for settlement
by arbitration or otherwise. Chilli is
poor, and has been rent by civil war
and but recently emerged from war
with Peru. The country is bankrupt
and impoverished The populace are
ignorant, and their only idea of the
military power of the United States is
obtained from few old wooden war
ships that have represented the United
States navy in these waters. In the
words Of good soldier: Let us have
peace, and bide our time for retribu-
ton and Justice"
Gen. Catchings said that he had been
busily engaged in the consideration of
other matters and had not kept up on
the Chilian matter. If the president
in his message after having digested
the correspondence was of the opinion
that war should be declared, the house
would support him; that was the temper
of the house on the subject. If the
condition of affairs warranted resort
to arbitration the government would
doubtless listen to the offer of
friendly nation, but there are some
things that can not be submitted to ar
bitration, and that may be the condition
of the controversy with Chill.

1T was not alone the big crop that
brought down the price of cotton so low

as TO bring the crop into market much
earlier ca and more rapidly than usual.

THERE were fourteen train robberie.

THERE were fourteen train robberies
last year, and in nearly every case the
booty secured was considerable. Only
one or two instances of successful re
sistance occurred. The only case in
which the express messenger used his
revolver resulted in putting the robbers
to fight. 1t is still apparent that two
men can rob a train about as surely as
twenty. Resistance is very rare. Both
passengers and trainmen take it for
granted that the robbers have plenty of
force to carry out their designs. and in
the darkness there is really no way to
tell anything about it.
