MOrmOnS In Mexico.

Elder A. J. Stewart. one of the
 seventy elders of the Mormon
 Church of Utah, is spending few days in this capital, says the Anglo
 American of the City of Mexico. He states that there are now 5000 set tiers in the Mormon colonies of Chihuahua. They are entirely in dependent of government by the Mormon church, and each individ- ual owns his land in his own name. The colonies have recently pur chased 100000 acres of land near the head of the Concho and San Pedro rivers. The company organ izing the settlements is Incorporated with a capital of $1.000,000 and is a purely business enterprise. No class or religious distinctions are made, and people of all faiths are free to locate among the colonists and may worship in any manner that their consciences dictate. The main principle of the church is obedience to the laws of the land which they inhabit and respect to the rulers and governors of the country. The Mormon Colonies are not accustomed to interfere in the politics of Mexico, and will only devole themselves to cultiva- ting their land and improving the portion of the republic where they are living.
 The benefcent influence exer- cised by such class of people on the commonwealth may be seen at a glance and the government may be assured that such class of emi- grafton will tend to increase the wealth and prosperity of the coun- try.-Tombstone PrOspector.

A syndicate of Kansas capitalists is to build a railroad, in Nicaragua, 120 miles long, in consideration of which the company has received a concession from the government of 2,000,000 acres of the most fertile lands in the Republic. This new enterprise, added to the work now being pushed forward on the canal, must tend to the rapid development of the country. Geographically considered, Nicaragua is most hap pily situated, the mild tropical eli mate and rich virgin soil is well adapted to the cultivation of great variety of fruits, while the beautiful lakes, large navigable rivers and magnificent mountains have gained for Nicaragua the name of the Swift zerland of Central America.-Trans- lated for Public Opinion from Fl Correo Nacional, Salvador.

 His troubles worried him and he went to hard drinking, and had had an attack of the delirium tre. mems several times, but Mrs. Luke nursed him through.

For some time past transparent glass bricks have been let into the walls to afford light at places where a window would interfere with the architectural plan. But now it is proposed to cast glass, not neces- sarily transparent, into large blocks of buildings. This material is prac- tically indestructible, perfectly non- absorbent and, therefore, damp proof in a manner which few bricks are, and in this way coarse glass of this kind could be made nearly as cheap as concrete, stone or baked clay. A plan has also been put into practice by which broken glass of various colors is mixed up, placed in moulds lined with silica, tale or some other resisting material and fired. The result is firmly coherent mass, which can be dressed and cut into blocks, which are, of course, irregularly colored, and may be en- ployed in place of artificial marble. If decorative effects are desired, de- signs in relief can be obtained by pressure while the block or slab is still plastic,-Philadelphia Ledger.

POLITICAL SCRAPS.

TBy our Democratic Contributor
County commissioners are for pre-
cincts oniy-school superintendent

Gov. Hogg is strenuously engaged
in the campaign of five years ago; he
is the biggest anti now in the state,
anti-Mills, anti-Clark, anti-publie;
he will suffer defeat next Tuesday
from the 22ud, and next November by
the people.
To the credit Of a republican paper
II must be said that the LIGHT has
always supported Mills when some
so-called democratic papers fought
him. The LIGHT has been with
Clark and Mills in 1887, and has not
ceased admiring them yet.
The Reagan, Chiffon and Hogg
acrobatic com bination are ali together
at the state capital, playing to q weak
audience before its dissolution on the
22nd. Hogg and Reagan will assume
the assets until next November, when
the partnership expires by limitation
without consent. &

turned from Washington to hnd MS

Had the San Pedro politicians
allowed our senatorial district its
choice in Mr.. J. NJ. Dean, we would
not now have Don-commitfal man

on vital questions.
Our republicans are watching the
senatorial struggle with indifference,
some of them attended the Mills meet
ing Friday night and by their pres-
ence testified their preference against
Hogg's man.
Bexar county does not want no
senator and representatives so badly
divided, so mistrust even will be seen
when asking them to kindly heed the
will of their constituents and vote for
Mills.

WHAT 1T Nj Ms.

The republican national platform de-
clares that the republican party twill
never lax its efforts until the integrity OF
the ballot and the purity of elections
shall be fully guaranteed and protected
in every state That is nice. 1t means
the republican party is relentlessly bent
on a force bill and the federal control OF
elections. Mr.. Harrison has written
many messages to congress and made
many speeches during his junketings
around the country. but he never gave
a reason for such control Of our elections.
Representative Lodge of Massachu-
sets introduced a bill during the last
congress embodying the views of Mr..
Harrison upon the question. 1t pro-
vided, among other things, that the
count in congressional districts should
be made by returning boards appointed
by federal officers. These returns alone
should be accepted by the clerk of the
house of representatives in making up
the roll of members-elect. 1t made no
difference how wide the discrepancy be-
tween the returns made by the several
states and those made by the federal re-
turning boards the latter were to be &C
copied every time. The clerk had no al
tentative. If he accepted:the returns
made by the state the force bill provided
that he should be punished by imprison-
ment in the penitentiary.
Under the bill the returning boards
would organize the house of representa-
tives. In other words, Mr.. HarrisOn's
appointees would organize it. 1t pro-
vided also to place all other! elections
under the control of federal election su-
pervisoIs and federal returning boards.
In a word a president could succeed
himself as many times as he liked and
could keep his party in power for an in
definite length of time. 1t was a cum
ningly devised scheme to D%erpetuate the
life and policy Of the republican party.
The bill passed Boss Reeds house under
the gag rule and went to a republican
senate. Harrison had his pen ready to
sign the bill when it passed that body.
But it never passed. 1t is cobwebbed
over in one of the pigeon-hole of a com
mIttee room. The determined opposi-
ton to it manifested by democratic SEN
ators induced Boss Quay to squelch the
measure.
That bill together with the passage of
the Mckinley tariff bill revolutionized
the country. The people condemned
both by returning an overwhelmingly
democratic majority in the house. and
by the election of several democratic
governors in northern states by increased
maJorities. Still the republican bosses
declare they will never relax their efforts
to fasten a force law upon the country.
With the election machinery in their
hands they could read their title clear to
continued possession of the spells Of
office and to their uninterrupted enjoy
ment. That is what the republican
bosses are after and that is what their
force bill plank means.

IA X AND LA BOR,

Cnde the above caption a Sand Cou-
lee correspondent writes the following to
the Tribune. lie is a laboring man and
makes some points which come directly
home to every ~wage-earner:
SAND CoULEE. June 20, 1892.
Ed. TRIBUNE: During election times
many discussions are heard about the
tariff and labor. ! know a great many
of my brother workmen are under the
impression that the tariff creates more
work and raises wages. Under existing
circumstances this is not possible. The
manufacturers in the east will not pay
$3.50 or 50 a day when they can get all
the help they want for half the price.
Why is it SO? The question can be
easily answered. The competition in
labor is SO great that If one man will not
work for the price offered there are
plenty of others who stand ready to do
the work and are glad to get it.
On the other hand high tariff does
away with the manufacturers competi-
ton and enables him to control prices as
far as the tariff protects him. In this
way protectionists can double the present
tariff and yet the working class will
never get a nickle out of it.
We often hear high tariff men say that
American wages is higher than anywhere
else. very well. 1t 0oks as though
