CHICAGO JOURNALISM.

For exercise every morning the Chi
cago editor abuses his family, black
guards his servants to the limit and
then goes out into the yard and kicks
and curses his dogs. This puts him in
good fighting trim for the days work
and after he has limbered up little
more on his employees at the Office he
feels thoroughly fit to handle any sub
ject with true Chicagoan virility. One
of the leading editors of Chicago is the
Hon. William Penn Nixon, of the Chi
cago InterOcean. 1t appears that
Editor Nixan is mixed up with Street
Railway Grabber Charles T. Yerkes, of
that refined city by the lake, and is his
defender in his grabs of Chicago
streets and franchises. Editor Nixon S
contemporaries have mentioned this
fact. it appears. Editor Victor F. Law
son, of the Chicago Record, called at

porary, Editor Nixon, responded as

AS TO MORMON POLITICS.

The political affairs of Utah will
probably never offer serious menace to
the Union, but at the same time it is
just as we'll to keep an eye on the
Mormons and what they are doing in
a political way 1t is we'll to learn
what they are about and their objects.
They should be made to understand
that they will be held to the exact
terms of their plighted faith when they
entered the Union.
1t appears that the people of Salt
Lake City appreciate this fact The
Mormons are in a majority. The de-
voices are in the immediate presence
of the church authorities. They lis
tened to the admonition of President
Taylor, the Mormon chief, a few
months ago, telling them that their
duty was to vote as a unit for their
church candidates and to maintain a
constant unity.
But a recent election for school Off
GERS in the city shows that the Nor
mon voters are not all in favor of
church supremacy in affairs of the
municipal governments, the schools
and the State There was a decided
rebellion against the rule of the Nor
mon hierarchy. The contest was
marked by extreme bitterness. 1t re-
lated to the future management of
the schools and to the influence which
should prevail in the educational ad-
ministration.
The opposition to Mormon rule in
the schools was successful. The result
of the election assures their freedom
/ from Mormon domination. The gen
tile" vote, as the opposition to Nor
mon rule is called, had a decisive ma
jority
1t is to be remarked that Utah has
system of woman suffrage. 1t must
have been that the majority of the
i votes of the women were cast in favor
Of schools free from Mormon control.
| This is the Only way to account for the
anti-Mormon majority in a city where
! he male Mormon vote is largely in
the ascendency.

gave proved so successful.

Every man knows that if these wit

A NATIONAL QUARANTINE.

Last years yellow fever epidemic in
the South has been the inspiration of
a measure providing fer a national
quarantine, which has been introduced
in Congress by Senator Gallery of Lou
isiana. and favorably acted upon in
committee 1t makes the federal quar-
antine regulations, prepared under di-
rection Of the Secretary of the Treas
ury, supreme over State or municipal
laws or regulations, and gives the
President the right to enforce them
in any State or territory in the pres
ence of actual danger. To that end he
may control the movement of vessels,
railroad trains, vehicles or persons to
prevent the spread of the disease from
one State to another
There is doubt of the constitutional
ity Of so sweeping a measure denying
the rights of the States to regulate
their own affairs in this matter, but
there is, also, no doubt that rigorous
and uniform measures are necessary
for preventing the spread of danger

The administration seems to be so
afraid Spain or Minister De Lone will
take offense at the ordering OF the
