That grand being, the American
heiress, specially created for the re-
lief of embarrassed mobiles, says the
London Speeulator, has attained al
most to the summit of her ambition.
She has not won throne yet, though
she may, if the King of Servia is a
wise man; but she has almost ap-
preached that surprising altitude. Ac-
eording to the Pail Mall Gazette,
Prince Isenberg -Birnstein has been ac-
cepted by Miss Pullman, daughter of
the lord of the dining cars, and the
hereditary prince is not only the eldest
son of a mediatised prince, one of the
even-born who might marry Haps-
burg, but is himself an imperial high
ness, his mother having been an Aus
trian archduchess, At least so says
the Almahach de Gotha, which is a
final authority. American brides who
have only won Colonnas, Borgheses or
English dukes will feel qnite eclipsed
and take no further pleasure in dia-
monds. The passion for rank is Ger.
tainly not confined to England, though
here it is so strong that ever the
Queen felt promoted when she was

hotel-though it was summer no
longer; there was an autumn scent in
the soft air.
But Lucy Winslow was staying here
still, with her brothers wife and her
little nephew; therefore Arthur Craig
STAYED on also.
She was sitting in the hammock,
with little Reginald beside her. Reg
inald always was beside her; their
fondness for each other was great. 1t
had been a source of affliction to Craig
all summer.
He told himself that he wasn't jeal-
Gus of Reginald, but if fellow could
get chance to see girl alone once a
week or so, it would be relief. Late
ly he had particularly wished to see
Miss Winslow alone.
''Hello, Arthur ~ said Reginald.
ooh, Reginald" said his pretty
aunt, flushing, ''ssy Mr.. Craigl"
"That fellow that was down here to
see him called him Arthur, and I'm
going to, said Reginald.
He was eight years old, and had the
blue-eyed, fair-skinned face of a
cherub. But no cherub was ever SO
pert and precocious as Reginald.
'Let him, Miss Winslow," said
Craig.
He dropped down on the grass at
her feet and looked up at her.
Surely she must know by this time
Say" said Reginald, ''you said
you'd take me boating on the river
again and you haven't.
We've been several times, haven't
we?' said Craig.
How sweet she looked
''Oh, well, Aunt Lucy's always been
along You said you'd take me, and
you got tor
Reginald, dear l'' his Aunt Lucy
demonstrated.

you read that poem gave you, Miss
Lucy?"
''Yeup, she read it, said Reginald.
'Read some of it TO me. 1t amt any
good. Got nice cover, that's all. "
Lucy laughed softly.
''It is beautiful thing, Mr.. Craig, +"
she said. 'Ienjoyed every word of it. -
'You-you saw the passage
marked?"
Craig's face was flushed and eager.
"Yes!" Lucy murmured.
She looked closely at Reginald's
Aailor-h hat, in her lap.
'I'll tell you, Arthur" said Regin-
aid, swinging his 1.-the little legs, ''if
you'd rather take me down TO Murphy 8
and buy me two ice-cream sodas-choc-
olate first and then strawberry-in-
stead of taking me out in the boat,
wy, you can't won't make any diff
ference TO me.
ooh, Reginald ' Lucy begged, with
a distressed laugh.
"Now, that is magnanimous !" Craig
responded. He wondered if his hearty
wish that Reginald was somewhere else
was apparent? 81 think I'll accept
that alternative. That passage
marked, Miss Winslow-I didn't do il
idly. There comes time in a mans
life when he feels IA love like that
for some woman"
Did she know all he meant? Hen
face was downcast and averted. Reg
inald, however, was staring full at him,
and Craig's inward ehafngs intensified.
Say, you want to make a trade?'
Reginald demanded. 81 got k'leid

There was no sound reason for adj
hitting as states of thu union such
sparsely peopled territories as Montana,
Idaho and Wyoming and refusing the
same privilege to great and flourish
ing commonwealth like Utah, or like
New Mexico, not to mention Arizona,
whose claims to statehood are quite
as good as those of some of the terri
tories already admitted.
1t would have been better if nearly
all of these territories had been COM
PEELED to wait for more mature Develop
ment Nevada is CONSPICUOUS IN
stance of the wrong done to the whole
nation by the creation OF a state where
no real state existed. But this matter
has been determined all along by COLI
SideratiOnS of party advantage rather
than Of public benefit, and 1t was party
considerations mainly that in creating
states out of nearly all of the remain
ing territories excluded only three.
The time seems to have come to
make this work complete and to put
Utah. New Mexico and Arizona upon
the same standing with their neigh
bors. In the case of Utah the obvi-
Gus objection to its admission to the
union has been the theocratic govern
merit of the Mormon church. This has
been gradually dying away under the
advance Of American civilization, the
peculiar institution of polygamy is no
longer upheld, and with the religious
tenets Of the Mormons, however unreal
sonable they may appear, the rest of
us have nothing to do. Utah is one of
the strongest, richest, most industrious
and best organized territories of the
far west. There is nothing to fear from
its admission to the union and posi-
bly, something to be gained.-PhiladeI-

The admission of Arizona, New Mex

accomplished this year, will add nine

The policy of admitting states which
have not yet attained rank and stand
ing as centers of wealth and popula-
ton has been very seriously question
ed, but the sentiment of the American
people is SO strong in favor of local
government that territories have as
rule been welcomed as soon as they
desired to set up for themselves. There
are objections to this liberality, the
chief of which were suggested last
summer during the great fight against
repeal. Special interests are very ac-
tive in sparsely settled territories and
often make themselves conspicuous and
formidable in newly settled states But
1T is doubtful if their real power rela-
tive to the power of the people is any
stronger in the mining states of the
west than in the great manufacturing
communities of the east. The differ
ence seems to be that in the west rail-
road and other great corporations and
business combinations are frankly sin

ulcldl Offices, Wnlle IN the east they
operate with more caution and reserve,
but exercise just as much influence in
pubic affairs.
Sc far as sectional considerations go
the west and south can now dictate
legislation and draw the line at the
Alleghenies, if they please, as tightly
as ever it was drawn along the Ohio.
But no vital question arising out of
sectional differences is probable. Neither
the east nor the west has a peculiar
institution" to which it is pledged. Flu
ture issues will be national, involving
the relations of social or economic
classes and no party is likely to ac-
quire complete control of a large Sec
ton. The population will divide along
lines of class rather than locality. that
is, the questions to be settled are social.
affecting the people of all states alike.
Education, the corporation problem.
property right and kindred economic
issues cannot be localized and all fears
of mere sectional jealousies are, there
fore, grOundleSs. The people of the
east and the people of the west have the
same aspiration, must encounter the
same foe and will share the same fate.

The Most Ymportant.

Utah is the most important territory
of the three now seeking admission to
the union. and in organization possess
ses a government superior to that Of
many states. With an area of 1870
square miles, placing it on even terms
with Pennsylvania and Ohio. the CEN
sus of 1890 gives it population OF 20i,-
9O5. That of 1880 was 49, 1853, showing
an increase equal to that enjoyed by
any western commonwealth. Ihere
are twenty divisions or counties, with
Salt Lake city as the centre The lat
ter has a population of 54S43, divided
among 1857 families, an average OF
$50 persons to dwelling. In view OF
the interest attaching to Salt Lake city
as the capital of the Mormon sect, 1T
is especially important to know that the
average returns give 4.84 persons to a
family in New York, $40 in Philadel-
phia, while in communities of like pop
ulation, as Portland, Or, and Spring
field, Mass, the average is 6.82.
The material interests Of Utah are
confined to agriculture and mining. BY
means of irrigation the Jordan valley,
in which Salt Lake city and Ogden
are located, has become very fruitful.
a public school system, with property
valued at 81, 100000 and caring for 49,
937 children, is the pride of the terri
tory. The production of gold, silver
and lead is equal to 100000 to $10,-
600 annually, and the agricultural
product is estimated at $25,000,0OO for
this year alone.-Philadelphia Times.

Three Cheers for RarIins.

Well may we ell feel proud of the
record which Delegate Rawlins is MAX
ing at Washington in this statehood
matter He has done yoeman service
and we believe that all the people of
Utah rejoice that this matter is placed
in his hands. Perhaps it win rot be
out Of place to say that Mr.. Rawlins
is a son of this university, and we
therefore naturally take an interest
in him. As the statehood bill has
passed the House by an almost unani-
nous vote, it is impossible to believe
that it viii meet any serious oppOsi-
ton in the Senate. IT is only when
the bill goes to Mr.. Cleveland that we
have any cause to fear, but, after all,
we think that the president will ap-
prove the measure, even if it does give
two silver senators and one silver rep
resentative.
It would seem that Mr.. Rawlins, by
the words which he uttered at the
time of his resignation, had drunk his
fill of the bitter water of politics. and
has eaten more than the proverbial
peck of political dirt. The delegate
ship, as Mr.. Rawlins stated, is mere
nonentity, but there is something in
a senatOrship. We can't see how Mr..
Rawlins can very well withdraw from
politics. His countrymen need MN at
Washington. His brilliant repartees
to Morse of Massachusetts, show that
his mind is trained to logical discus
sion, and as debater he is able and
incisive. If honor is to be given where
honor is due, Mr.. Rawiins, in view of
the splendid service which he is doing
Utah. will certainly be elevated to the
Senate. He has discharged his duties
with earnestness, steadiness, intelli-

upon this subject. Utah possesses many
natural qualifications for a high devel-
opment of thrift and civilization, but
over all resources and advantages,
natural and acquired, there hovers the
specter of MormOnism. 1t is true that
in the anti-Mormon acts of Congress
and the action of the United States
courts in Utah the offensive feature of
the Mormon faith, known as polygamy,
has been abated, if not abandoned
While polygamy is an insult to civili-
cation, curse to the home and an out
rage upon woman, still it is not the
worst feature of MormOnism when con-
sidered from a civil standpoint.
There is far greater curse to this
territory, which inheres in tn Mormon
system, and in regard to which there
no pretense of surrender, namely, the
right of priesthood government on
American soil. Polygamy is simply the
offshoot of priestly dictatation in civil
affairs. They have thrown off this
little sprout, but have left the Upas
tree unmolested. To admit Utah to
statehood would be to practically sur
render all Congressional control over
its internal and local affairs Such
matters would come within the deflnl-
ton of police powers, which, accord
ing to the constitution, belong exclus-
lively to the individual states The peo-
pie of Utah.. in the event of their adj
mission to Union, can intrench behind
the bulwarkS of state enactment its
hideouS Mormon rule. We have re-
garded this politico-ecclesiaSti an
achronism more in the light of dis
grace than a danger; more as gro
tesque caricature of religion than as a
serious menace to our civilization. We
must remember that polygamy is r.
essential to the Mormon system. 1t
is a growth and not a root of the
Mormon creed. MOrmonism thrived be-
could still exist after its adjustment
and possess all the deadly qualities of
it original nature.
The United States district court in
Utah decided, in refusing citizenship
to MormonS, that the oath which all
is incompatible with that allegiance
which the United States government
requires Of its citizens. The real dan
ger, therefore, from Mormonism, arises
from the fact that it is a politico-eccles-
iaStical organization, molding the ig
norant immigrant class with which it
is constantly augmenting its forces,
to suit its vicious and venal purpose.
Only recently one of the Guion line
steamships brought over more than
one hundred new converts to the Nor
mon faith. These people can never be-
come assimilated to our institutions,
for all they are ever Permitted TO learn
of our laws and government is through
Mormon Instruction. Mormonism is
not, therefore, simply a perverted re-
ligious system, but it is an Emporium
in imperio," animated by a spirit that
is. utterly inimical to our institutions
and government.
Before Utah can be safely admitted
to statehood the axe of retributive
justice must first be struck at the root
of this deadly upas tree of Mormonism.
If admitted to the Union with Mormon
ism practically in control, this evil
zee might in the near future furnish
own growth, a. helve for an axe
with which TO mutilate, if not destroy,
our glorious temple of freedom.-New

Afraid of a Boomerang.

The success which attended the pas
sage Of the Utah statehood bill induced
General Wheeler, the chairman of the
committee on territories, to bring up
in the House yesterday a measure
proposing to add Arizona to the list
of states. Immediately the Republi-
cans began to filibuster demanding a
quorum of the Democratic members
TO pass a motion to go into the COM
nliUtee Of the whole. Other dilatory
motions were interposed during the
afternoon, and finally, when the pa
rence Of the House was about exhaus-
ted, General Wheeler moved that the
House adjourn. AS a special order has
been adopted setting aside such after
noon Ger the discussion of bills admit
ting Arizona and New Mexico until
they shall have been disposed of, the

sympathize with the attitude of the
minority managers in this matter They
regard it as an exhibition if bad poli-
tics for the Republican party to place
itself in the attitude Of opposing the
admission Of these territories, especi-
ally as an election is approaching. Ac-
cording to the arguments which these
dfSenterS have brought to bear upon
AR Reed and other leaders, 1t would
be better to acquieSce in the proposed
legislation and by sharing in the cred
it Of securing the admission of the
territories enables the Republicans in
Arizona and New Mexico TO meet the
Democrats upon the stump. These
Republicans call attention to the fact
that Idaho and Wyoming when admit
ted, presented no more claims to state
hood than Utah, Arizona or New Mex
leo. and they are afraid that the pres
ent attitude Of the Republican mem
bers will prove a boomerang in the fu-
ture.-W ashington Post.

A PnIiticnI YieM.

One reason why the Republicans in
the House made no more serious opposi-
ton to the bill for the admission of
Utah is the hope which many of them
entertain that their party, instead Of the
Democratic, may profit by the move
ment. Although the present Democratic
delegate from the territory was elected
by nearly 5000 majority last year, the
Republicans have been gaining ground
in Utah of late years. and it is by no
means impossible that they will be in
control before a great while. But it is
the height of folly for either party to
pin it's faith to the future of a new
state The Democrats consented to the
admission of Colorado in 1876 because
they were sure to carry it, and then
found that but for Colorado Hayes
could not have been seated even after
South Carolina, Florida, and Louisi-
ana had been counted for the Republic
can candidate. When Idaho was adj
mitted in 1890, with only S4,3S5 people,
the Republicans regarded it as sure
for their party. and yet only three
years later the Republican candidate
for president lost its three electoral
VOtes.-NeW York Post.

1t is Not strange.

1t is not strange that the bill for the
admission of Utah as q state passed the
House yesterday without division.
and t;sat the Republicans did not feel
anxious to make record upon it by
a call for the yeas and nays. Their
party in 1890 admitted Idaho. which had
only 1885 people by the census of
that year, and Wyoming, which had
but 6O,7O5; whereas Utah had three
years ago a population of 207,9O5. and
IS growing much more rapidly than
either Wyoming or Idaho Neverthe-
less, it is mistake to admit Utah or
any other territory now. Because we
have several states which ought to be
territories is nc reason for making an
other mistake of the same sort. Con-
gresham HarteT. Of Ohio, put the ar
gument against the proposition very
forcibly when he said that we do not
want any more states until we can
civilize Kansas; in other words, that
SO long as western states of the age
of Kansas are capable of the folIies we
have seen the past three years. we
ought not to increase the risks of the
nation by making new states of even
less promising material.-New York

Building I'm Homes.

Before thu Congress ends the country
west of the Mississippi with any three
states east Of the river will control the
Senate Of the United States. The tenn
per of Congress upon the question
of new states is a surprise. Bills for
the admission of Utah and Arizona
have passed the House The New
Mexico bill will pass before the holt
days. Action by the Senate will be as
certain, though perhaps not as rapid.
A majority for admission seems to be
already assured in the Senate by the
avowed intention of the silver state
Republicans to vote for the friends of
the admission. Utah, Arizona and
New Mexico it now appears, will be
able to send two senators apiece to the
United States Senate in a very few
months. that is. barring a presidential
veto of the bills. This did not seem
at all probable a few weeks ago. The
current of sentiment in favor of adj
mission has set in very suddenly and
This current of sentiment
is not based SO much on old party
lines as it is on the growth of feeling
on the part of the west against the
east. The west, with enough southerrs
support to win, is pushing this fight
for three more states
The admission means a great deal
more than appears on the surface.
How many people have thought To
count that with these admissions there
will be twenty-one sovereign states
west of the Mississippi, that is. if
Louisiana be counted as trans-Missis-
sippi. There will be forty-seven states
and twenty-one of them west of the
river These, with Mississippi, Ten
nessee and Kentucky, which border on
the Mississippi or with any three
other states east of the river, will hold

ne has handled the statehood problem
but he does not. propose to let the
matter rest but to push the bill
through the Senate as soon as possible.
Unfortunately the people of Utah
are not of one mind in regard to state
that of increased taxes. But in sum
ming up the various advantages and
disadvantages. it would appear that
the good which will result will far
outweigh the evil. The one point, that
of adding another silver state with it's
representation in Congress, is alone, to
our mind, sufficient to compensate for
any drawback which might follow.
