PLAGUE POLITICS.

1t is among the possibilities OF the East
ern question that the plague now raging
in India may have more to do with its final
settlement than one would gine pos
sible. AT a recent meeting OF the inter
national sanitary board in Constantinople
the foreign delegates were unanimous upon
the policy of preventing any particlpationby
the Mohammedan inhabitants OF British In
da in this years pilgrimage to Mecca.
1t was considered nearly certain that un-
less prevented it wouldlead TO the general
infection of the whole pilgrim body and
the spread OF the pestiience over Asia and
Europe wish the returning tide of hadjis
The Turkish delegate strongly opposed the
proposition. declaring that the pilgrimage
TO the tomb of the prophet is a religious
observance and must nOtbe intcrferedwith.
1t is probable, nevertheless, that the pow
ers may ask Great Britain to interposc and
put a stop to the mo ogement, which other
wise promises to be large one. The diff
ficulty is that such interference might lead
to an Indian mutiny. and certainly would
infiame Mohammedan fanaticism and ha-
tired against Christianseverywhere Indeed,
it would be likely to result in an outbreak
that would compel the whole European
concert TO Join in wiping out Mussulman
rule and power, as a necessary measure of
protection to human civilization. The re-
turn of the pilgrims from Mecca is looked
forward to with intense uneasiness BY the
health authorities OF the continent.

senator Ouay's Operation

From a Harrisburg surgeon your Cor
respondent, says the Pitt tsburg Times,
learned the method of the operation upon
Senator Quay's eye. The disease is known
as ptosis, and is a paralysis OF the layator
muscle of the upper eyelid. From the
center Of the affected eyelid an almond
shaped section is cut with a sharp knife.
The edges Of the wound are then brought
together and snugly sewed in position.
For additional support the lid is stitched
to the eyebrow by two cables OF silk
thread After the wound has healed all
OF the stitches are removed, and the eye
lid, if the operation was successful, as
sumes an almost normal appea rance. The
operation, simple as it seems, is q diff
cult one, and good results are not often
obtained

Moses Thatcher, Mormon;
Joe RaWlinS, Senator

year or more ago the Democratic party
of Utah, in State convention assembled,
declared that church and State must be
absolutely separate. Hon. Moses Thatcher
and Hon. Joseph Lafayette Rawlins Were
declared to be the chosen candidates of
the Democrats of Utah for United States
Senators. Rawlins had been delegate in
Congress, and had a fine popular footing
all about. Thatcher a big, good man, one
of the biggest and best in the State, rep
resented the anti Mormon church feeling
He was an apostle of the Church of Christ
OF Latter Day Saints, one of the twelve,
that is, one of the dignitaries next in i'm
portance TO the first presidency but
he had refused to take counsel, as they
say. He had himself governed his political
action for himself, thinking, and not
hesitating to declare, that neither the
Mormon church nor any other had a right
To decide what his political course should
be- or, indeed, to NEEDLE in politics III
any way whatever. The position of Mr.
Thatcher wasapparentlymad impregnable,
il motives and purposes OF honor and sue
cess were to be taken into account by
the circumstances, that the MorInons, as
a church and individually, through most
OF their high officers had been obliged to
declare in order TO secure Statehood for
the Territory, that the church should keep
out of politics thereafter; that It's mani
festo lin which IL had promised that 1t
would keep out OF politics. had been is
sued in good faith and that it was con-
sidered that new era OF progress and
prosperity was dawning for Utah, because
the Democrats of the. State, as well as
the Republicans, were proposing to throw
off the burden Of Mormon domination.

was bothered by excessive growth of hair

This was about the situation when the
Senatorial contest, which has just con-
cluded by the election of Rawlins came on.
One candidate was Judge Henderson, law
partner OF Senator Brown, and, like Mr..
Brown himself, a former resident of Micni-
gan, a Law partner also of Judge Allen. the
present Representative from Utah Some
of the church officers supported Hender-
son, aud the gold people of the present
administration helped him as much as they
could, which was very little. Rawlins had
declared in public letter that he was not
and should not be candidate in any sense
OF the word When Thatcher, who had
considered up to that time that the field
would be clear for him, had entered the
race, however, IL was believed by the friends
Of Rawlins thai, while no single candidate
could beat Thatcher unaided and alone,
yet with the help of the church he might
do it.
This was the hope fth c r "a Wins men, and
1T proved TO be the realization OF their
hopes. 1t looked like a deadlock Finally,
when { appeared to the church leaders that
they could not beat Thatcher with any
body but Ra wins, they threw the support
of Henderson to Rawiins, and caused Raw
iins To be chosen Not that Rawlins was
acceptable to the church; he was not. He
had publicly and relentlessly denounced
George q. Cannon, the chief politician of
the Mormons, and had for many years
sighted and insulted the saints in many
ways. The first determination of the
church leaders, however, was to beat
Thatcher. They did it, They didn't love
Rawlins at all; they simply hated their
former apostle, whom they had gone 10
the length Of deposing from his priestly
Office.

There is a great run on darkey songs
just now for some reason nobody can
understand. Everybody is singing them.
The two that Fay Templeton wrote and
sings-"Ma onliest One" and Il Want
Yer, Ma Honey'-haye had wonderful
run.
But they are fine songs. just about as
fine in their way as Whitcomb Riley's
poems, it seems to me. Don't You think
so? Perhaps they made the vogue. Any
way, If you can write good coon song
you can make a fortune. Even tie instru-

ago (when the church authorities openly
declared that they would beat Thatcher

the old order Of things in Utah, the con-
troll OF secular affairs by the Mormon
Church, was still in vogue: a situation
made more the regrettable because OF the
broken promises that this should not be
So Utah has great future-with her
mines OF gold and silver, with her un-
discovered mineral riches, with her Sa-
iubrous climate, Which with her Great
Salt Lake and her mineral springs, is
hardly to be equalled elsewhere in the
world Later we shall know whether
this defeat of the anti-church candidate
will have TO do with keeping capital and
settlers away from this new Eldorado.
The miners and the capital required to
work the mines don't care, possibly: but
the persons most inteiligently interested
in the future of Utah want to see in these
fertile valleys something more than q
collection OF mining camps. And they
wonder whether such a thing will be
possible without political liberty.

The immigration bill is in need OF
prompt and thorough repairs, or it will
probably never get to the White House, aud
certainly never get back from there if it
does travel so far. 1t has been known for
several DAYS that the President would
veto the bill if il contained the amend
ments which include wives and daughters of
men who are themselves admissible. Still
until yesterday it seemed probable that
it would reach the Senate in that form
The House had adopted the conference
report with the Objectionable clauses in
the bill But when the conference reached
the Senate yesterday afternoon, it was
defeated.
Both Houses agreed to a new conference
1t is known III advance what the con ference
will agree upon. The bill will be amended
by omitting the paragraphs for the ex-
clusion of women and also change the
qualifications for admission from ''abil-
ity to read the language of the immi-
grants native or resident country to
ability to rea done language
