CAN'T KEEP THEM DOWN.

During the time the Republican
party had charge of affairs in the
government building in this city there
were seven persons of color employed
there, one of whom was a woman.
There were four mail carriers. Mr..
Alex Wilbur was carrier on the east
side and was considered good and
efficient man. He did not wait for
Boss Hunter, late lamented ex-treasurer
of Taylor county, to say go. He
resigned, and readily found a place in
the fire department of the city. Here
is where he has lived many years and
has the confidence and esteem of the
citizens. The next in order was Mr..
Miles Bell. Boss Hunter found an
easy way to dismiss Mr. Bell. He had
been given route demanding the use
Of horse and buggy, on account OF
his health Boss Hunter gave him a
route to carry on foot, knowing well he
could not do so. Mr.. Bell was forced
to resign. The next to fall before Boss
Hunters AK was Mr.. l. E. Williamson.
Many charges were made at different
times. but were Of such Himsy and
transparent nature that they were
aban 1oned. But Hunter has at last
succeeded ia his designs, notwithstand,
ing the fact that those who knew Mr.
Williamson best signed petition fol
his retention. Mr.. Williamson was
admitted to the bar by the supreme
court this week and he may be OF
service at some future date should Boss
Hunter be elected county treasurer.
From seven colored employees on the
government pay roll at the postottlce
under Repu blican rule there is now just
one. There is no politics in this. Just
a naked fact. Hunter has not missed
decapitating a black head wher
opportunity offered.

Once more are stories afoat
along the water front and in Fede-
raj circles to the effect that con-
spiracy is being Matched up here
to send filibustering expedition
over to the Hawaiian ISLANDS,
The names of several exi'es from
the islands now residing here are
connected with the story.
These rumors crop up regularly
after the arrival of each steamer
from Honolulu. Almost every
mail from the island briugswarn-
ing letters to the Government
officers and the Hawaiian Consul,
telling them to look out for GER
tain mysterious vessels supposed
to be fitting out for an expedition
against the Provisional Govern
ment. The customs officers and
secretservice agents have been on
theIalert all along, and have undou
btedly frightened the enemies of
the Hawaiian Government out of
any attempt to fitout vessels here.
1t is risky business, and if they
are going to make the attempt
they will doubtless seek some
secluded place along the coast
where prying customs officers
are. scarce.

War on the Mormons.

SALK LAKE (Utah). April o.
The arres: of John Beck, the Nor
mon millionaire and mine owner
on charge of unlawful cohabita-
ton, for having three wives, has
created such sensation as has not
aroused the people of this Terrific
ry rince 1890. Other arrests on
like charges are to follow if street
rumors arc to be relied upon.
The prominent Mormons next
booked by rumor for the dragnet
under the Edmunds Tucker Act
are John Henry Smith, President
of Utah's Constitutional Conven-
ton; Ell. j. Grant, one of the
Twelve Apostles and prominent
insurance agent and capitalist
Hiram B. Clawson, bishop, and
Orson f. Whitney, historian.
author end bishop of the church.
All of these men are rich, power
full socially and politically, and
it is alleged that they have been
living with two or more wives
each.
The arrest of John Beck, to be
followed, as alleged, by the arrest
of these prominent members of
the church of Latter Day Saints
is believed to be the first move in
political game which has for it's
object the defeat of equal suffrage
and consequently the constitution
now being framed aud statehood.
1t is alleged and on the best
of grounds, that the insertion of
an equal suffrage plank in the
constitution by an overwhelming
Mormon majority il for the spe-
oifc purpose of gazing in absolute
political control of the new State
by the Mormons through and by
the vote of their women. That
this move is to be deceased if pos
sible by the old Liberal or Gen
tile element is evinced by the
practical fight they are making
on the oft-repeated assertion thai
polygamy is dead in Utah.
