ened out to an unusual extent in
this case.
Utah has helped to make good
deal of history. 1t forms part of the
territory acquired from Mexico in
184S, and the first settlement of
the Mormons in it took place n year
earlier. In 1850 a territorial govern
ment was formed in Utah, which at
that time comprised part of what is
now the states of Colorado, Wyo-
ming and Nevada. About forty years
ago attempts were first made to
secure admission for Utah under the
name of the State of Deseret, but
congress declined because of the
practice of polygamy by the Nor
mons, who constituted the bulk of
the population of the region. Pol
ygamy turned the military army of
the government against the Mormons
several years before the conflict of
1861 -65, and the Legislative arm was
welded against them with such vigor
afterward that that practice was
made illegal by congress and after
ward abolished by the Mormon
church.
Very few territories had, on ad-
mission to statehood, as large pop
ulation as Utah has at this time. 1t
had 207, ,905 inhabitants in 1890, and
was in this respect fortieth on the
list among the states and territories
taken together. Delaware, Idaho,
Montana, Nevada, North Dakota and
Wyoming among the states have
fewer inhabitants. In area Utah is
slightly larger than Kansas and Min
nesota, and 25 per cent. larger than
Missouri. Polygamy was the cause
of Utah's exclusion from statehood
to this time, but under the act of
congress the constitution which is to
be framed must provide by a require
ment, unalterable without the CON
sent of the United States as well as
of the people of the state, that all
sorts of religion shall be tolerated
and that plural marriages shall be
forever prohibited. The "twin
relic" appears to have no chance
under this regulation, therefore the
admission of Utah can hardly pro-
duce any serious religious or social
problems for the country.

LEGEND OE THE PANSY.

From the Household Magazine.
A pretty fable about the pansy is
current among French and German
children. The flower has five petal
and five sepals. In most pansies,
especially of the earlier and less
highly developed varieties, two of
the petals are plain in color and
three of gay colors. The two plain
petals have a single sepal, two of the
gay petals have sepal each and the
third, which is the largest of all, has
two sepals. The fable is that the
pansy represents family, consisting
of husband and wife and four daugh-
ters, two of the latter being step
children of the wife. The plain
petals are the stepchildren, with only
one chair; the two small, gay petals
are the daughters, with chair each,
and the large gay petal is the wife,
with two chairs. To find the father
ono must strip away the petals until
the stamens and pistils are bare
They have fanciful resemblance to
an old man with flannel wrap abou,
his neck, his shoulders appraised and
his feet in bathtub. The story il
probably of French origin, because
the French call the pansy the step
! mother.

THE STATE OF UTAH.

From the Globe Democrat,
The 80 called Utah admission bill,
which the president has just signed,
does not necessarily change that ter
ritory into the forty fifth state of
the union, for the constitution max
ing which that measure permits will
not begin until March, 1895, and the
constitution will not be submitted to
the people of the territory for rati-
fication until the November follow
ing, or fifteen and a half months
hence. When ratification takes
place, II the president thinks the
constitution complies with the fed
eral organic law and with the
enabling act of congress, he viii
issue a proclamation declaring Utah
state. There is chance, however,
that some of the other territories
which are knocking for admission
may get in earlier than this, as the
time for the working of the machin-
cry Of the state creation is length

This shows that bank stocks are
valued in different counties at from
40 to 240 per cent. of their values.
The great bulk of the bank stocks
are represented by st. Louis, Kansas
City and st. Joseph banks, and these
are assessed at 40 and so per cent.
1t is safe to say that the assessed
valuations of the bank stocks of the
state will not average above so to so
per cent. of their par values. This
low average is due to the fact that
the large aggrega ions of bank
capital in the three leading cities are
assessed at half or less of their full
value. The inequality in different
counties is very striking. 1t is GER
tainly about time the authorities are
trying to secure greater uniformity
and equality.

Senate democrats held caucus
Hill and Irby being absent-and
decided to vote to send the senate
bill back to conference without
instructions. While the caucus did
not commit itself to any definite line
of policy in so many words, the
conferees feel with their colleagues
that they understand what major
ity of them desire, and they believe
this to be that they shall stand sub
stantially for the senate bill. This
is not the individual preference of
many, nor, perhaps, of majority of
the democratic senators, but it rep
resents the opinion of most of them
as expressed in the caucus as to the
only practical course open to the
democrats, who think that the pres
ent congress must pass a tariff bill
Of some kind, whether it be what
they prefer or not.

dent showed himself in favor of free
coal and free iron, but he was will =
ing to accept the coal and iron
schedule as amended.
Mr.. German called on Mr.. Harris
(dem } of Tennessee, for an expla-
nation of his understanding of the
presidents policy, and Mr.. Harris
told OF several interviews he had had
with the president. The president,
like every democratic senator, was
not perfectly satisfied with the bill
but he was in favor of the senate
bill as a great improvement over the
existing law.
Senator German threw down the
gauntlet to President Cleveland, and
insinuated that the latter was seek
ing to blacken the character of SEN
ators. Men in high places, said Mr..
German, had sought to blacken the
character of senators. These men
were guilty of dishonor.
"The limit of endurance has been
reached" said he. There is no
power however great-the president
with all his patronage-that would
keep me silent longer"
He hurled this at the president, he
said, and at those who chirped as he
talked, that their insinuations were
infamous. 1t was destructive to the
country that men of high position
should seek to blacken those who
battled for their rights when towards
in high places dared not show their
heads (subdued applause.)

CockrelD a statement by Secretary
Carlisle, favoring the passage of

NUMBER "a.

Judge Woods was visibly excited and
although retaining control of his
anger showed his suppressed excite
ment by his trembling hands and
agitated expression. Mr.. Erwin
asserted that in cases Of injustice
the power of the people back of the
government roverts to the people,
and as he spoke his tall frame quiv-
cred with excitement, his gestures
were wild and his voice rose almost
to shrek.
Beginning his speech with a review
of the troubles leading up to the
strike, Mr.. Erwin declared that the
railroads had entered into conspir-
acy to sustain the Pullman Company
in the latter's fight with their en-
ployes. The court must decide the
supreme question, he said, whether
the men were not justified in resist
ing such conspiracy when the
courts were silent regarding it.
"Such a conspiracy did exist" he
said, "and the courts and officers of
the government gave no redress
The question is whether the people
are sovereign or whether they have
delegated all their powers to com
binations of wicked men and to rep
resentatives who are asleep. Had
not the men a right to resist this
conspiracy Of the railroads to sus
tain Pullman in his inhumanitv and
illegal acts2'

Senator Villas democrat, Wiscon-
sin) defended President Cleveland
from the attacks OF Senator German
democrat, Maryland.)
The Wisconsin senator began his
speech by saying that an extraordi-
nary scene occurred on Monday last
in the senate. A democratic sena-
tor, he said, saw fit to attack the
president, without precedent, he
thought, or, if there was pre-
cedent, it was one that ought to be
stunned instead of followed 1t was
personal assault upon the president
and his character. Mr.. Villas con-
sidered it his duty to reply to that
assault.
He would speak as the personal as
well as the political friend Of the
president. He rejoiced in the honor
of Mr.. Cleveland's friendship. 1t
was his honest testimony to his
character that never at any moment,
in any temptation, political or per-
sonal, had he failed to see in Mr..
Cleveland the pure, white light of
an upright purpose. For such a
man he saw fit to say some words
not in defense, he needed none, but
some correction of discoloration Of
facts by which Mr.. Cleveland had
been placed in a false light before
the country. He would make this
statement in behalf of the truth Of
history.
The first accusation, he proceeded,
was that the president was open
to the charge of duplicity. That
was based upon letter in which
Mr.. Cleveland expressed the hope
that iron and coal should go on
the free list in the tariff bill. The
second was that the executive had
by that encroached on the preroga-
tives of congress, and, third, that
the president had traduced the
senate. Those charges were true
or false, not as q matter of argu-
ment, but as q matter of fact.
''With regard to coal and iron
ore, let US examine the facts" said
Mr.. Villas.
Mr.. Villas then reviewed at length
the presidents position in favor
of free raw material, his letter OF
1887 and other public utterances
up to his message to congress al
the opening of the present session
Constantly, Mr.. Villas de clared, Mr.
Cleveland had insisted upon thii
principle.
What was the proof adduced II
support of this alleged change o.
hearth Mr.. German himself had ne
personal testimony to offer. He
called on Mr.. Vest, who offered con
versation-hearsay testimony tina
would have been excluded in any
court of justice. He had no per
sonal testimony. The distinguishes
senator from Arkansas, whose labo
in behalf OF this bill had earne'
30 much respect from his colleagues
testified that he had PERSONAL,

the senate bill. Did Mr.. Jones clair

a RAILROAD BOND FIGHT.

a RAILROAD BOND FIGHT.
The state board fixed the assess
ment OF Macon county at a., million
dollars. The county board raised
the assessment to over 10 million
dollars. The attorneys for the Mis-
souri, x Mississippi railroad bond
holders have just discovered that
in many instances the present dem
ocratic court has repeatedly raised
the assessment on county and other
lands from 81 per acre TO 81 200 per
acre.
When the assessed value runs over
10 million dollars the county, under
the law, can spend $50, 900 annually
for current expenses, but when it
is under 10 million dollars the county
can only use $40, 900 annually. The
fictitious values have been made
to prevent the bondholders from
securing the difference, $4,000 per
year, which under the law and
federal court decisions would go
to the bondholders.
The law chartering the road pro-
yided that not over one twentieth
of 1 per cent can be levied on
each 500 each year to pay the
bonds, and the courts have decided
that the county expenses must be
paid before the bondholders can
secure any money of any conse-
quence. The county accepts war
rants for taxes and uses other means
to keep money out of the treasury.
The county alleges that the bonds
and the railroad were fraud.
The bondholders allege that the
county court is committing a
fraud in the assessment and other
matters in order to keep them
out of their money. The official
published proceedings of the county
board did not show the fictitious
valuations.
The bondholders who are eastern
people and who claim to have been
innocent purchasers, will institute
proceedings to set aside the increase.
