mo. 15,4s1' tells a pitiable story of his
difficulties in attempting TO obtain liv-
ing honestly after undergoing term OF

years ago TO two years Imprisonment foI
forgery. Previously he had been pos
sessed of considerable means, had been
brought up in luxury. but exhausting his
| fortune had committed forgery to obtain
more money. During his Imprisonment
he came into contact with many young
fellows who had committed similar
crimes, and who had not the slightest idea
as TO how they were TO gain living when
they got out When he was released, he
had few pounds, and when this was
gone he applied to the Discharged Prison

not what position man held in life pre-
vious to his getting into trouble, on re-
lease this society offers the same means
of obtaining an honest livelihood to

up bundles of firewood, working in the

Inua,s WonderfnI Ice Cave

One of the greatest curiosities in the
Mississippi valley is a natural ice cave
which is located in the bluffs of the
Iowa river within less than mile of De-
corah, the county seat of Winnesheik
county. This unique curiosity is indeed
a natural icehouse-a cavern in which
great icicles may be found at any season
of the year, being especially fine in sum-
mer, when the weather is hot and dry
outside The bluff in which the cave is
located is between 200 and 400 feet in
height, it being necessary to climb about
rs feet up the side of the bluff to reach
the mouth of the cave. The entrance is
a fissure about 10 feet in width and he
tween Is and 90 feet in height, from
which a constant current of cold air
issues.
Thirty feet from the mouth of the
cave the passage turns toward the left
and downward, toward the river bed.
The slope is very gradual. however. and
the walls and the roof are within easy
reach all the while. After you have
reached spot 100 feet from the opening
you entered, it is noticed that the walls
and roof are covered with frost. Twenty
feet farther thin coating of ice is no
ticed, which increases in thickness as you
90 into the bluff.-St. Louis Republic.

THE cup of sorrow is in constant cir
culation; we must all drink, and some of
us drink deeply. 1t is immaterial whose

by the draught, as it requires very little
self-knowledge to convince us that we
are unequal to prosperity, and unable to
sustain it without growing careless of
things of far greater Importance.

JOHN N. BURKE TAKES A HAND.
He Enters the Fight to Prevent the
Threatened Slaughter Of the
Mining Interests.

Washington, Dec. 26.-The pros.
poets are that all persons opposing
free raw materials in the Wilson
bill, coal, iron, lead, ore, lumber,
ETC., will concentrate their efforts
to secure changes in the bill in the
senate. Delegations representing
these various Interests will BE- here
during the coming week to begin
work.
Democrats, as far as possible,
are being delegate to make protests
John M. Burke, of Idaho, advance
guard of the lead men, is here and
will be joined in a few days by
others representing the states of
Montana, Wyoming and Nevada
and the territory of Utah.
Burke saws free lead ore will
absolutely paralyze the mining in.
dustries of the states and territor-
les named. If the duty on lead
ore cannot be retained, in part at
least, by the Wilson bill, these lead
miners will ask for retaining the
duty of two cents on pig lead, re-
duced by the Wilson bill to one
cent.
An effort will be made to COM
bine SO as to secure concerted &C.
ton, but whether combination
can be effected is uncertain.

debt is a saving grace. That is why
foreign capital has always desired
Investment among the Mormons but
seldom succeeded in impoverish-
ing and enslaving any of them.
In addition to all the taxes which
fall upon American citizens gener.
ally, the Mormons pay church
1.-THE of ten per cent. on their annual
gross income. If Mormon raise
ten calves he gives one to the
church; if, hundred bushels of
wheat, ten to the church, and so on
down to the butter his wife makes,
the yarn his daughter spins and
the eggs his hens lay. Yet in q
county where nature has done little
but provide obstacles to human
prosperity, those people pay their
taxes without a murmur. They
school their children, maintain
their poor, pay their tithing, revere
their county, bless God and live
happy, virtuous and contented
lives.

DECLINE or THE REPUBLIC

During the last six months por-
tentious facts have been thrust on
the American people and they are
brought to a realization that their
Republic is blossoning into an
absolute monarchy. The King
hath convened his parliment, sub
dued and prorogued it. He has
conspired with the shylocks Of Wall
Street and her msjesty's government
to suspend animportant and sacred
provision of the constitution; he
has abetted and encouraged Chi
nese culprits in an open violation
of the laws of the country; he has
arbitrarily and without authority
denied to veterans just and honor
able pensions, and insulted them
by establishing harassing and hu-
initiating inquisitorials, contrary
to every principle of justice; for no
purpose other than to discredit a
former administration and without
the consent or knowledge Of con-
gress, he has instituted warlike
proceedings against friendly
power, and in violation of repub.
lican aud Christian sentiments
sought to re-enthrone a barbarous
and dissolute monarch, and main
tain her al absolute tyrant over
the lives and fortunes of civilized
and intelligent people. All that
now remains to complete the fact Of
royalty is the mere formality Of q
coronation and a hail to the king.
That q structure which cost more
than century Of time, billions of
money and millions of lives should
be thus tumbled down by single
bully in six months is remark
able illustration of the inherent
weakness of republics. NERO and
CAESAR and NAPOLEON may have
known something of subjugation,,
but CLEVELAND has utterly out
classed them. Hail to the King!

ONEIDA COUNTY.

In another column will be found
a clipping from the Malad Enter
prise, showing that out OF nearly
1000 Taxpayers, only SO are delin-
quent. The Enterprise futher
states that SO per cent, of the de.
linquents are non-residents. The
TRIBUNE wishes to congratulate the
people of Oneida county. They
are An honest, sturdy breed and
sound to the core. We knew that
the commissioners offered those
people an open affront when they
petitioned the governor for re-
mission Of taxes. 1t was decep-
tive and Illuminating piece of bust
ness. 1t was nothing short of
demagogy, But the point we want
to make is this: Oneida county has
never been cursed with the foreig
capital craze. Those people have
worked out their own salvation
with no other assistance than in
dustry and strict economy. The
canal company has never invaded
their precincts with alluring prom
Use and sitting obligations. What
they have is theirs. and what they
can not get without going in debt
they are content to do without.
That is the mighty secret of their
prosperity and irdependencv; that
is why only about two per cent, of
them are unable to pay taxes.
Nearly all the people Of that county
are Mormons and those who have
not embraced the religious faith
have adopted the Mormon econo-
my. BRIGHAM YOU'VE never forgot to
admonish his people on the evils of
debt and extravagancs, and he
never preached = sermon that did
not inculcate thrift and economy.

Mormonism as baptism aud to avoid

EXTRA SESSION IN COLORADO.
Governor Waite issues the Long Anticipated Cell
-his Mexican Dollar Scheme RECON-.
msndsd for Legislative Endorsement.

Denver, Dec. Ex-Governor Waite
tonight issued his long talked of call
for special session of the Legislature
to meet January 10th.
The governor jnstifies his prOclama-
ton by declaring: "The mining inter
ests of the state have been unjustly
and uncOnstitutiOnally attacked by
congress and the present administra-
ton. The panic has so reduced values
and increased the burdens of taxation
that agriculturists, fruit growers and
stock raisers are obliged to sell their
products below the cost of production,
and the extraordinary advantages now
granted creditors in Colorado should be
repealed
"Appealingt to Almighty God for the
rectitude of my intention, and willing
to assume the entire responsibility OF
my act" the governor solemnly d. :
clares 81 issue this, my proclamation :"
Th' first business" for the egisli.
ture suggested in the Gail is to provide
that all silver dollars, domestic and for
eign. containing not less than 37lL
grains of fine silver. shall be legal
tender for all debts cOllectable in Colo
RADIO.
The governor also suggests the pas
sage Of an act forbiding making trust
deeds, mortgages or obligations of any
kind payable in gold; laws providing
for issuance of certificates Of small de
nominations in payment for work on
state canals, said certificates to be re-
ceivable for water carriage and leasing
or purchase Of internal Improvement
lands, and to be convertible, after three
years, into 800 certificates; repeal of all
laws authorizing the issuance Of NUM-.
cipal bonds and the enactment of law

A LITTLE ADVICE.

According to the Statesman
Senator SHoUP is home on a mis-.
sion, the purpose of which is to
project, If possible, the State OF
Idaho from the evil designs of the
WILSON tariff reform bill, or, as the
Statesman puts it, Save some
thing from the ruin that is threat
ened." The TRIBUNE does not care
to make positive assertions, but the
impression grows apace that the
tariff question is becoming weari-
some. In 1888 the people declared
for protective tariff and for four
years enjoyed its operation. In
1892, by an overwhelming majority,
they proclaimed dissatisfaction
and demanded a change. Is it
now the business or duty of repre-
sentatives in congress to rack their
wits and energies in an effort to
Illustrate the peoples will? This is
one of the inexplicable things about
our government: Whenever a ques-
ton of national importance arises
it is submitted to the people for
settlement, but no sooner do they
settle it, than systematic and
strenuous effort is set afoot to UNI
settle it again, thus keeping the
country in state of uncertainty
and agitation far more destructive
of prosperity than absolutely vi
cious legislation. The effort now
being made by Republican repre-
sentatives to prevent tariff reform
legislation is clear assumption
that the people of the United States
do not know what is good for them
and, consequently, are incapable
of self. government. This is moth.
ing short of AL open insult, and the
people ought to resent it by de-
handing from congress prompt &C.
ton in line with tariff reform ideas.
1t is not the business Of Senator
or any other representative,
to 60 about ransacking the country
for evidence OF the peoples ignor-
ance end stupidity, and the people
should not s,ultify themselves by
encouraging or folerating any such
proceeding. If the people of the
United States have made mis-
take; if they have demanded the
inauguration Of policy which is
to work hardship and dis.
tress upon themselves, let them
have, without interruption, full
of their own acts. We ad-
wise senator oHOuP to abandon his
gratutous missionary work until
1896. la the mean time, he may
render his state and country valu-
able service by earnestly advo-
eating the cession of arid lands to
tue states and liberal appropria-
tons for irrigating works. The
tariff argument closed last Novem.
Der and should be carefully filed
away for future reference. At any
rate, let the country have u little
respite.
