1t is not surprising that The Lugiish
diplomats conclude that they have neatly
trapped the United States. And in this
connection the opinion of prominent
diplomat, whose name is omitted, for DIP
lomatic reasons, no doubt, Is of interest
He said: Great nations are never in haste
to settle such disputes with small coun-
tries. They can be called up whenever
desired AID they always furnish pretext
for making war upon the weaker nations,
or at least, giving them no end CT trouble.
They are good thing to hold in reserve.
England now sees in the arrest of Sergeant
Behrens an opportunity to force the
United States into an embarrassing po-
sition and compel her to maintain the
Monroe doctrine under circumstances
not altogether favorable But for this
the incident might have passed unnoticed
for years. 1t is possible, however to
conceive OF conditions, probably not dip
lomatic, under which England would be
glad TO make haste in settling that Ven
zuelan controversy and settling it rightly.

Tom Reed stood there, and for three

by the indomitable resolution with which
he stood for what he knew to be right, he

Mormon Domination in Utah.
Chicago Times-Herald.)


There is probably good deal more of
partisan politics than appears at first
sight in the Democratic convention which
will gather in Utah today.
Lest anyone should believe tn at Judge
Powers call for reassemblng of the
convention to withdraw the nominations
and pronounce against the constitution
arises from conscientious scruples alone,
it should be remarked that since the ques-
ton of polygamy practically disappeared
the Mormons of Utah have displayed a
marked tendency to gravitate toward the
Republican party. This is but natural,
for in the surrounding states where the
MOrmons have had the deciding vote they
have generally cast it with the Republi-
cans on the protective tariff issue. IL may
be that Judge Powers, perceiving that his
party stood small chance of carrying the
day against the Republicans, who have
nominated son of George Q. Cannon,
the most powerful man in the church, for
Congress, determined TO defeat tho ad-
mittanoe of Utah as a state.
However this may be, there can be only
one opinion among the people of the
United States as to the course of the
priesthood of the church. President
Smith, at meeting of the Mormon
priests, by innuendo, denounced the Dem
ocratic candidates for their failure to pro-
cure the consent Of the authorities before
accepting the nominations. Subsequently
a Mormon bishop invited his priesthood
mes ting to vote against Mormons who
had been nominated to high offices ICON
trary to the counsel and the will of the
presidency
This Is an intolerablc invasion of
private rights and an intrusion of religion
into politics that must be reprobated by
Republicans and Democrats alike. 1t Is
not necessary TO point out to readers that
Mormonism no longer means polygamy
the church has long since ceased to break
the laws and offend the decency of this
nation. But If 1t had past OF unsullied
ulster, If 1t never stood in the public
mind for personal unoleanliness, cruelty
and ignorance, its present offense would
be not less unbearable II Utah comes
into the Union it should come in unfet-
tered by any church. Mormon or other.

Of the last ways and means committee,
and John Daizell of Pennsylvania, comes
next One or the other will DOUBTLESS be
called the head of ways and means and
to the leadership on the floor Both are
men of marked capacity for leadership,
quick, alert, courageous and resourceful,
both firm protectionists and friends Of the
policy of reciprocity The fact that Mr..
Reed and Mr. Payne Were in conference
in New York last week leads many to
suspect that the New York man will win
the prize If Payne gets ways and means,
Daizell will probably be chairman of the
judiciary committee.
For the committee on foreign affairs, it
is almost certain that Congressman
Robert X. Hit will be chosen, and the
country is to be congratulated that his
health is restored after his severe attack
last summer when for time his life
seemed to hang by n thread. No man in
she new House will be so thoroughly
equipped to deal intelligently with in
tricate and involved questions of foreign
policy, aud there We're probably never so
many important foreign relations as those
which an imbecilc and unpatriotic adj
ministration has turned into oomplica-
tions. embarrassing if not menacing.
Hawaii, Cuba, Venezuela, the Nicaragua
canal, the Alaska boundary, Corinto
Trinidad--these are some Of the problems
which our wretched diplomacy with
single nation has made pressing and
immediate. On all these questions MIR
Hit is especially posted. He has had the
extraordinary preparation of severa!
years service as assistant secretary Of
state under James G. Blaine, and a con
siderable period of service on this com
mittce. His speech on the Hawaiian
question in the last House was remark
able in the extent of knowledge, the
breadth of view and the sturdy Ameri.
oanism which IL displayed So important
will be the post of chairman of the com
mittee on foreign affairs, that he Is as
likely to become floor leader in the next
House rs the chairman of ways and
means.
Among the other able and experienced
congressman who will doubtless be ap-
pointed to good chairmanships are
Dineley of Maine; Henderson and DoIi-

of Pennsylvania; Hopkins Of Illinois
Johnson of Indiana; Morse Of Massachu

Debs remarked long before he went to
jail that he had arrived at the conclusion
that strikes are not to be encouraged and
that he should not participate in another
But Mr.. Debs more clearly than most
men appreciated the unwieldly engine of
destruction that great strike Is; how it
expands beyond the control of the agita-
tors and becomes terror and menace
to the very ones who gave it origin. That
all may more clearly understand the
results of strikes without being compelled
to learn from exporien ce, Hon. Carroll
ID, Wright has collected statistics respect
ing the strikes which have occurred. in
this country from 1881 to July 1894.
From these it is learned that tho less to
employees in the way of wages on account
Of strikes and lockouts is $50, 493, 1872
The loss to employers from the same
causes was 1914, S25, S37 The loss to the
employees is seen to be more than twice
that of the employers, while the loss to
both aggregated 1886, 3l9,2l9. Quite an
expensive method of settling difficulties
There have been ii, 800 strikes affecting
80, 1917 establishments and over three and
= half million employees, while the
strikers who got what they struck for
number less than third of the entire
number who struck. The strike loss in
1894 amounted to nearly thirty million
dollars. Maine has been quite fortunate,
more SO than any New England state ex-
oept New Hampshire and Vermont. In
seven and half years but 1873 establish
ments were affected, 10, 94S employees
thrown out Of employment and s46S, 40 in
