WASHINGTON. July ls.-Hon. Thomas NJ. Cooley. ex-chairman of the inter state commerce commission, whose eminent standing as an authority on constitutional law gives great value to his opinion. has written to the president as follows:
 ANN ARBoR. M ich.. July l5. 1894. President Grorer Cferelaad:
 IGNORED SIR-Now that the great strike In which vour official intervention became neces- sary has been clearly shown to be a failure, beg to be allowed to express my unqualified satisfaction with every step you have taken in vindicatfon Of the national authority and with the restoration of law and order which has followed or is now in progress The caution and deiheration with which you have proceeded are. think. worthy, like the accom- panying firmness of high praise. and l am especially gratiied that great and valuable lesson in con stItutional construction has been settled for all time with remarkably little blood>ned. You. and the attorney-generai also have won the gratitude Of the country, not for this generation only. but Tor all time. and that God may bless you for it Is the sincere prayer of Your ooealenl servant

UTAH STATEHOOD.
The Enabling Aci Has Received the Presi-
 dents Signature. nas

.
 dents Signature. ast
 WASHINGTON. July ls.-The president has signed the Utah statehood bill. The pen used and the holder were made of native gold and silver, and will be sent back to Utah as memento of the great event.
 Utah was acquired from Mexico by the treaty of Guadalupe Hidalgo, made after the Mexican war. 1t was settled in 1s41 by the Mormons. who. after having been driven out of Illinois and Missouri, marched across an almost un- known wilderness. with their wives and little ones, and their fiocks and herds. and settled in the great interior basin which contains salt lake that pos sesses many of the characteristics of the Dead sea. in Palestine.
 The Mormons planted crops: but there were no rains. and they found they had settled in d dry desert. Then they adopted irrigation, bringing water from the numerous streams which pour into the lake from the surrounding mountains. Their first crop was eaten up by the grasshoppers Their second cropwas attacked by grasshoppers; but, in answer to special prayers, as it is re- lated. millions of blowers came and de- voured the grasshoppers. and so the saints were able to gather their first harvest. Utah is pleasant country. and Salt Lake City. which the Nor mons called .'Deseret." is fine city, with many gardens and fruit orchards. The great Mormon temple and many other buildings connected with the church admin stration are worth no- tice.
 The Mormons practiced many bur- densome exactions upon the emigrants from the states to California, in the days of gold and many massacres of travellers attributed to the Indians have been charged upon the Mormons, who finally became so hostile and un- ruly that they drove away the United States judges and other civil officers sent out for the administration of their terri tory, so that in 1857. under the admin istration of President Pierce, Gen. Al bert Sidney Johnson was sent to Utah  with an army to suppress the rebellious Mormons. On the arrival of the army they submitted without resistance.
 The special Mormon institution ot poiygamy fiourished until it was put down by congressional legislation. In 1882 the Edmunds anti-polygamy law disfraLchised polygamists and annnled thd act of the territorial legislature, which gave women the right to vote, and it disqualified polygamists from iuries. The act of 1887 made the wife competent witness in trials for DO lygamy. and required marriages to be matters of public rec ord.
 When the state Shall come into the Union. all the restrictions of federal law will be withdrawn, and the people will make their own laws. The Nor. mon leaders are wealthy, and still pos. sess a great deal of influence. It re mains to be seen if the plurality o1 wives will be feature of society in the new state.
