EVEN if Hill could get the united support of
his party in New York, he could not be elect
ed governor this year. Every election that
has thus far been held has shown the current
to be too strongly against the Democrats to
allow any hope of such a result. Such pro-
portion of Democratic loss and Republican
gain as we have seen in Vermont and Maine
would give New York to the Republicans by
24O. 900 majority. There are also potent local

PRESIDENT CLEVELAND Friday issued a
proclamation pardoning all Mormons who
have been convicted of violating the law
against polygamy. He does this on evidence
that satisfies him ''that the members and adj
herents of said church generally abstain from
plural marriages and polygamous cohabitation
and are now living i'm obedience to the laws"
The proclamation really supplements one is
sued by President Harrison during the last
davs of hi, administration. The proclamation
of President Harrison extended to all liable
for conviction but did not reinstate in citizen
ship those who had been convicted and pun
ished. In this late proclamation the total
abandonment of polygamous practices among
the Mormons is recognized but those who
have disobeyed the laws of the land and their
church since the first proclamation will not be
subjects of the executive clemency. 1t is
thought that this action of President Cleve-
land will help the Democratic party among
the Mormons who are taking great interest
in politics, and certainly if the admission of
Utah to statehood was proper at all this ac-
ton is proper; for there is nothing more i'm
consistent and dangerous in self governing
state than the exclusion of a large part of IFS
people from participation in tine government

TIE Unitarian conference at Saratoga last
week accomplished skllfully and harmon
iously what its leaders most desired in the
matter of constitutional revision. The main
object of the session was to change the consti-
tuition so that liberals and conservatives might
be united under terms. which would be salts
factory to both. The central pth of the re-
port which was tiually adopted is that these
churches in the Unitarian fellowship accept
the religion of Jesus, holding, in accordance
with his teachings, that practical religion is
summed up in love to God and love to man.
In another sentence it is stated that the Uni
tarians invite to their, working fellowship all
who, dissenting from them in beliefs, are yet
in sympathy with their general view and prac-
tical ends. These were the two leading ideas
in the report, which was adopted by rising
vote, without dissent and with great enthu.
sasm. notable feature of the conference
was the reading or delivery of several Catho
lie addresses before it.

, 4 KANSAS politics are reaching about the
lowest depths OF vieiousness these days. The
latest emanation is the publication of charge
through the Republican state committee Of a
letter written by Peter w. Kline, notorious
lottery and policy shop man of Kansas City,
telling of large sums of money he paid Gov
ernor Lewelling, the Populist governor, for
the protection of his Illegal business along the
Missouri state line. He says he paid some
81, 300 to the governors private secretary
and the attorney general of the state, and
other state officials, and tells of number of
other corrupt deals in behalf of lottery cons
paBies. but claims TO have been cheated in
them all. because the officials did not DO as
thew agreed There is evidently some truth 10

the backmail methods of Tammanv have

Young POpulist party. But some suspicion
Justly attaches the story from the fact that an
offer was made 10 the POpulist state CON-
mittee to suppress it for 1893 and II was re-

THE refneries of the sugar trust have shut

THE reiineries of the sugar trust have shut
down quite generally this week, throwing
several thousand men out of employment.
The trust, however, is entitled to credit for
greater frankness than tariff fed interests
usually exhibit. They do not claim that
their action is made necessary by the reduc-
ton of their ''protection." They admit it is
due to over production, which is due to their
own conduct in anticipation of heavy tariff
profits. They imported vast quantities of raw
sugar, while it remained free, calculating to
add the tariff difference to the cost of refined.
But thus far this has been found to be inn
practicable The trust is still selling at the
same price it did before the tariff bill passed,
but wholesalers and retailers, expecting n rise
from the trust, have raised their prices in an
ticipaton and SC strong is the feeling of the
country on the subject, that this has at once
been followed by very sharp curtailment OF
consumption. All the evil effects are being
thus thrown back on the trust with none of
the benefits yet realized And by the time
the next session wipes out its protection en-
tireIy it will comprehend that the job of rul-
ing this country by the corrupt use of money
is not so easy or pleasant one as it had calcu-
lated.
