Polyoamy in CONGRESS-.

An effort is being made to prevent
Representative elect Brigham 81. Roberts.
of Utah, from taking his seat in the next
Congress because he has three wives The
movement was started in a Presbyterian
church at Salt Lake City, taken up by th.
denominations State Board of Home Mis-
sions and finally adopted By Presbyterian
women throughout the country. In aImos
against the seating of the Utah Representa-
tive Other religious denominations have
given their influence to the opposition
Petitions and circulars urging the re-
ceiver to protest to the Congressman 10
her district are now being sent to women
North, East, South and West. It is moi
likely, however, that Representative
Roberts will be refused admission to the
House, as it would be an arbitrary act
without constitutional justification. Ex-
Senator George F. Edmunds, author of the
Anti-polygamy law and one of the highest
living authorities in regard to the Consti
tuition, say upon this point
SIN my opinion the Government of the
United States has no constitutional powe
to suppress polygamy in State. Atten.
tion was called to this before Utah was
admitted, but Congress chose to admit the
State notwithstanding. 1t is within the legal
power of Utah and every other State to
make polvgamy lawful if it chooses. |
think the House of Representatives cannot
constitutionallv refuse seat to a regularly
elected polygamist from any State. The
House of Representatives, like other bodies
of that character, may be a law unto
itself and violate the Constitution, which
fixes the qualifications of members, and
seat, OF refuse to seat, whomsoever it
pleases, with or without just reason but
this would be most dangerous course and
pratice The House of Representatives
has the constitutional power by a vote of
tw0-thirds to expel member for any cause
that it thinks just"
Utah was admitted into the Union pur-
suant to bargain with the Republican
leaders by which the Mormon church
agreed that the first Senators elected
should act with the Republican party. That
contract was faithfully carried out, but
the silver question has now arrayed the
State against the present Administration.
The Republicans can't get it out of the
Union again, and, as ex-senator Edmunds
ssys.the State may send polygamists to Con-
oress and even make polygamy lawful if it
chooses. Mr.. Roberts is Democrats, but
the Republican party is responsible for his
having right to seat in the House Of
Representative.

GENERALS MILES AND MERRITT
Testify Before the Commission Inves

Testify Before the Commission Inves-
tigatfng the Conduct of the War.
Washington, Dec. 22.-General Nell
son A. Miles, commanding the United
States army, and General Wesley Mer-
rift, commander of the American forces
at the capture of Manila, were the
principal figures before the war inves-
tigating commission yesterday. General
Miles responded to the summons only
after several days consideration. He
was accompanied by his own stenog-
rapher. His examination was compar-
atively brief, and not sensational. He
spoke with some bitterness as to the
"embalmed beef and the canned beef
furnished the army in the field. This
he characterized as an experiment for
which some one in Washington" was
responsible. He said that the landing
facilities of the Santiago expedition
were Inadequate, and that the men
were short of rations and medicines,
and might have been better protected
from exposure to fever contagion.
General Merritt told the commission
that he regarded the Philippine expe-
dition as a decided success. and would
conduct it on the same lines If he had
to do 1t over. He spoke in high terms
of the troops under him, and said his
army was well supplied with medicines
and food. General Merritt paid quite
as high a tribute to the civilian staff
officers as did General Shafter the pre-
vious day, saying: "They were good
officers, intelligent, anxious to learn
and to work.

Washington, Dec. 22.-The president

According to Secretary of Agriculture
Wilson, the introduction of the trolley car
and the general use of the bicycle. lessen
ing the demand for horses and rendering
them very cheap, have proved blessings in
disguise to the farmers. The terrible
slump in the domestic market compelled
breeders to scour the world for new
markets, with the result that a large
foreign business in American horses has
sprung up. This is likely to increase
steadily and in short time more than
make good the shrlnkage in the homt
demand. Better still, along with tn
foreign demand for American horses has
arisen a greater demand for American
horse provender. There is a heavy and
constantly growing export trade in corr
and oats, gOodIy portion of which is SCI
abroad to feed foreign horses. The SAT
plight of the horse breeders who wer,
compelled to seek new markets for then
animals has redounded to the benefit OF
the grain farmers of this country as well as
their own.

A Warehouses DOWNFALL.

British Aristocrat an Inmate of a
London WorkhOuse.
London, Dec. 22.-The Marchioness of
Donegal will eat her Christmas dinner
in a London workhouse. Ill, miserably
clad and apparently in acute destitu-
ton, she applied on Tuesday for adj
mittance to the Great Northern hos
pital, from which place she was re-
moved to the Islington workhouse in
Urinary. She explained that she was
homeless and not willing to communi-
cate with her wealthy friends, or with
her husband. who is suffering from
pneumonia.
The story of the life of the marchion-
ess is painful. She left her husband in
1873, and in 1889 instituted separation
proceedings, at which counter charges
of misconduct were made. Unsavory
details of their conjugal life were also
banded about. The warehouses fail
ed to obtain alimony, and has since re-
ceived assistance from her friends. The
marquis has had troubled financial
career He was declared bankrupt in
1885, with liabilities estimated at G518,-
815 He then said he considered he was
justified in raising G500,000 in view of
the fact that he had prospects of sue
ceeding to an estate of e50,000 a year.
But, owing to the entail, he only sue
ceeded to G1SO pounds a year.

A Great Financial Trust.

Colonel William Barbour was one of the
incorporators named in the bill to estab
lish the International American Bank
which was defeated in the House OF
Representatives last Friday by vote OF
l48 to 40 through the vigilance and aciiv-
ItY of the Democratic minority, who showed
it to be cleverly designed scheme to
legalize vast monopoly. While the bill
Durported to be the outgrowth of the Pam
American Congress and undoubtedly did
provide for fostering commercial relations
with South American countries, its true
purpose, as an analysis showed, was to give
special domestic as well as foreign priYile-
yes to syndicate of capitalist. headed by
} Pierpont Morgan. 1t provided that a
corporation empowered to capitalize fol-
$4,000 600 might do all sorts of banking
business and almost any other kind of
business in this or any other countries
without Governmental supervisor or control
The institution would not only have monop
olized the foreign business, but by the
provisions Of the bill complete system of
domestic banking was authorized. 1t was
also provided that eight branches might be
established, thus enabling the bank to
cover that number of principal cities in
the United States and establish ct the
same time branch institutions in the
rio mi tot
we're to be established In denouncing
the measure Representative William Sui
zer, of New York, said:
Under the provisions of this bill this
corporation could do every kind of bank
ing business, commercial business and all
other kinds of business, including the bust
ness of pawnbrokerage. As LAWYER, after
carefully considering Section 8 of this bill,
give it as my deliberate opinion that this
trust could carry on in this country and IN
every other country where it could get
foothold gigantic pawnbrokerage busi-
ness. 1t could do THIS and charge its own
rates of interest. 1t is the greatest franchise
Congress has ever attempted to give away !;
it is the greatest scheme ever invented by
the ingenuity of man to enslave his fellow
man. 1t ought to be beaten so badly and
buried SO deeply that no future Congress
will ever resurrect it 1t is the worst bill
which has ever come to my notice since /
have been Member of Congress"
After the real scheme of the authors,
which was carefully hidden under mass
of verbiage, had been exposed enough
Republicans voted with the Democrats to
kill the bill, but such a good thing will
probably be revived in the next Congress
Mr.. LoudensIager voted with the majority
against the bill.

1t is reported that William B. Day and
Whitlaw Reid will each be paid 100000
for acting as Peace Commissioners al
Paris and James B. Moore $4,000 for his
services as Secretary. Senators Davis,
Frye and Gray, the other three members
of the Commission, cannot under the law
receive anything but their expenses, being
salaried officers of the Government. 1t is
apparent now why Secretary Day and
Assistant Secretary of State Moore resigned
permanent positions to perform duties last
ing only few weeks. They will be paid

Tor or some other capacity.
