The term of Senator Morgan expires
next March, and the administration is
aleady bending it's energies to compass
his defeat. Morgan is not cuckoo"
indeed it was he who coined the happy
phrase cuckoo senator's" to describe
the statesmen who kept their ears open
to hear the strike of the White House
cock 10 order to regulate their conduct
by it. He is not in accord with the
Presidents financial policy, and he in
Cured special hostility from that quar-
ter by his unfavorable criticism of the
administrations attempt to set up
Queen Liliuokalani. The word has been
passed among the federal officials down
in Al bama that one Of the most accept
able ways in which they can administer
their offices will be by using their infiu-
ence to turn down Morgan. Consequent
" they are all at work with this well in
view. The influence of the federal office
holders is much more potent in the
South than in the North, and its oppo-
sition is much more powerful there than
here. Morgan recognizes the situation
and the influences at work against him,
and instead of crawf1shing is basing his
claim to reelection squarely upon the
fact that he is opposed to the Presidents
policy. He has taken the bull by the
horns and seems to be perfectly willing
to force the lighting upon the issue
which the President has chosen. He
stands by his Hawaiian report, criticizes
the sending of a negro as minister to a
white republic and intimates that if
Stevenson had been elected President
instead OF Cleveland, the Democratic
party would not now be travelling over
SO rocky road. There seems to be very
radical difference Of opinion as to how
these criticisms have been received by
Mr.. Morgan's audiences. According to
the cuckoo newspapers, chilling ST
lence" habitually meets him. The 9TH
or kind of newspapers, however, say
that the enthusiasm is tremendous"

Governor Waite of Colorado has been
telling audiences in that state that the
way to get free coinage of silver is for
the states to establish minis and go into
the coinage business on their own ac-
count. A serious trouble with this pro-
grsmme is that it conflicts with the
Constitution of the United States, which
gives to Congress the exclusive power to
coin money and fix the value thereof.

Detectives who have been Investigating

Detectives who have been investigating
the detachment of Coxey's army that is
approaching Washington through Mary
land report that the great majority of
them are bumlners who w3uld not work
if work were offered them. Detective
testimony is not the most trustworthy in
the world, but in this case there is no
apparent motive for classifying, and be-
sides their report is in accordance with
the probabilities. Men who were really
after work ould GO to locality where
there was some reason to believe that
it could be found. Such a locality, a
large city already overlooking with un-
employed men :aanifesty is not. We pre-
sumo if these men would tell the exact
truth it would appear that the most of
them are going to Washington without
any definite purpose or any clear idea as
to what they are going to do after they
get there. Perhaps they hope to palm
themselves off as unemployed men anx-
ious to labor but without opportunity,
and thus arouse public sympathy ana
get some contributions. Very Likely
some of them are following Coxey
much Tor the same reason that tramps
follow circus, thinking that in the
confusion and public excitement that
may follow their entry into Washington
there will be opportunities for petty
pilfering. That any of them are going
with any hope or expectation, or any
desire even, of getting work is highly
impro bable.

The Democratic leaders are getting so
alarmed lest Congress will adjourn with
out reforming the tariff that some of
them are willing even to sacrifice entire
~, or modify essentially, the income tax
if thereby they can change some of the
tariff featues of the Mckinley law. The
prospect of having to go before the
country this fall and confess that the
Democratic party is utterly incapable of
doing anything can't be pleasant, and it
is not surprising that they are wiling to
abandon the substance of tariff reform
if they can only get a pretence which
they can exhibit to the voters, SO as not
to be obliged to admit that the party
has f1unked completely.

Why Grateful Mormons Impose a Fine
For Killing the Bird.


Most interesting of the birds that we
saw on our daily walk to thepasture were
the gulls-great, beautiful, snowy Great
ures, who look strangely out of place so
far away from the seashore. Stranger,
too, than their change of residence was
their change of manners from the wild,
unapproachable sea birds, soaring and
diving and apparently spending their
lives on wings From this high place in
our thoughts, from this realm of poetry
and mystery, to come down almost to the
tameness of the barnyard fowl is a mar
velous Transformation, and one is tempted
to believe the solemn announcement of
the Salt Lake prophet that the Lord sent
them to his chosen people. The occasion
of this alleged special favor to the Latter
Day Saints was the advent about twenty
years ago of clouds of grasshopp ers, be-
fore which the crops of the western
states and territories were destroyed as
by fire. 1t was then, in their hour of
greatest need, when the food upon which
depended whole people was threatened,
that these beautiful winged messengers
appeared. In large flocks they came
from no one knows where, and settled
like so many sparrows all over the land,
devourlng almost without ceasing, the
hosts Of the foe. The crops were saved
and all Deseret reioiced Was it any

would 1t be for themselves If other Chris
tian peoples were equally believing, and
protected and cherished other winged
messengers sent just as truly to protect
their crops. The shrewd man who welded
the destinies of his people beside the
Salt Lake secured the future use
fulness of what they considered the
