Roprnr.. THE poLYGAMIsT.

The Woman's Board Of Home Mis-
slons OF the Presbyterian Church In New
York recently held a meeting for the
purpose OF arousing public sentiment
throughout the country to prevent Brig
ham II. Roberts from procuring his seat
In Congress. Roberts. IL Will be remem-
bered. is the Utah representative who was
elected by the Mormons. and who, at
least, in part. cxemplines their teachings
by the possession OF three wives.
A number OF speakers lent their ora
tory in efforts 20 inaugurate an aggres-
sive campaign against Roberts, but the
most notable was Mr.. Eugene Young. a
grandson Of Brigham Young, who. II APP
pears. Is at variance with the religious
views OF his people. Mr.. Young was born
In Utah. but had TO leave that country
because Of his determination to speak his
mind freely on political matters without
the dictation OF the Mormon Church.
lie said that there was a disposition
among politicians TO treat the revival OF
the Mormon issue as n minor matter, but
he warned them that some day there
would be a rude awakening LET those
who take such views beware" he said.
Some day they will see. as those who
know Mormon ambitions now see, that
MIR. Roberts is a mere instrument, the
representative Of mighty forces. They
will learn that through his election a peo-
pie OF 10000 strong have turned from
American liberty and American morality,
and have taken the initial step toward
the establishment OF a hierarchy foreign
to our Institutions and our social laws
in the midst Of our republic"
Mr.. Young deprecated the public in
clination TO view the election of Roberts
a three or four-ply% polysamist. still living
in polygamy-as an unavoidable outcome
of old conditions in Utah. He character
lied ii as an act of open defiance, and
warned his hearers that a dangerous pre-
cedent was about to be established.
Roberts will come to Congress as a de-
fiant law-breaker, and should be dealt
with as such. 1t will be strange if the
House decides that the place for a law
breaker is among the lawmakers.

The bill TO increase our standing army
to 10000 men has received the approval
of the House Committee on Military Az
fairs by a party vote of S TO 5. The Wash
ington correspondent of the New York
World says that every suggestion made
by General Miles has been cast aside by
the committee, every Republican member
with the single exception Of General
Marsh. Of Illinois. acting in unison with
Mr.. Hull, whose bill represents the views
of the President. Secretary Alger, and
Acknowledgement COrbin. One member
of the committee is quoted as saying that
the measure would be found. when it
came before the House, to be the bill of a
politician and not Of a military man.
The bill gives the rank of lieutenant
general TO the chief commanding officer
of the army. Under him are six major
generals and twelve acknowledgements.
The idea IS TO give a acknowledgement
supreme command Of the army, with
major-generals 10 command army corps
and brigadier-generals for divisions and
brigades.

Any subscribers who may fail to

1t is, not at all certain that there
will be an election contest this

competent men will be nominated
and elected without opposition.
There certainly does not seem to
be much to fight over. Such an
obvious public sentiment has been
aroused in favor of law and order
and good water supply at the
earliest possible momen hat any

since congress and the President

the exception of few narrow

vote of $50,0OO,000 for defence, the

AN EFFECTIVE PARABLE.
General JOubert's Story Saved the
Lives of the Jameson Raiders.

General JOubert's Story Saved the
Lives of the Jameson Raiders.
A most interesting account Of the
manner in which the lives Of Jameson
and his men were spared, after the sur
render to the Beers, is told by the
News Van den Dag Of Amsterdam:
The stern old Beers, when they had
Jameson and his fellow officers in their
hands, determined to execute the lead
ers Of the band at day break. The meet
ing took place in President Kruger's
house, 30 being present, of whom the
great majority, wild with Indignation
at the sudden inroad into their terri
tory, were for shooting the British off,
GERS at once
President Kruger opposed this sum-
mary plan and used all his eloquence
and all his influence ON behalf of the
prisoners. For a long time his efforts
were vain. It was 4 O'Clock in the
morning, and the presidents opponents
were still for execution. The lives of
the foreigners hung by a thread.
At length General Joubert one of the
few who agreed with the president, had
recourse to the old time Boer method of
convincing his hearers. He made use of
a parable
'Friends, he said, Twill you not
listen to my voice once more? Suppose
that close to my farm lives bad neigh
Dor who keeps fierce hounds in his
house, worrying my sheep exceedingly
and also killing some. What, then,
would you have me to do? Should kill
the hounds to be free of this worry?
Truly my neighbor would say unto me:
Thou hast killed my hounds, yet their
value is greater than the value of your
sheep. Pay thou meP Is it not better
that I should take the hounds and GO
ing into my neighbours house say,
These are thine; now pay me for the
harm they have done my fock?'
There was silence, and the general
continued: 1--WE have caught the pack.
Is it not better to send them to the
British government with demands for
reparation, lest the British send more
hounds to worry us anew"
The old form of argument proved
successful The wisdom of moderation
became apparent, and the council of
war accepted the. advice of their chiefs,
