Brigham H. Roberts Of Salt Lake City
made . unique canvass for Congress Is Q
polygsmist.
Nominally placed upon the Democratic
ticket, Mr.. Roberts's canvass was NOS
conducted upon party lines. He himself
has apparently chosen to stand upon the
issue Of p~olygsmy. asserting that be in
tends to continue living his religion.
Mr.. Roberts is charged with saying
openly that be will make good Brigham
Young's prophecy in 1870: 1.-The SAINTS
will yet ram the practice OF poiygsmy
down the throats Of the American Con-
gress."
Mr., Roberts has been an active saint.
After the Tennessee massacre be was one
Of the saints sent from Utah to bring
home the bodies Of the murdered mis-
sionaries. Il was on this occasion that
he assumed his famous disguise as .
tramp.
In 1850 Roberts was arrested under
the Edmunds law and indicted, but eva
ded punishment. He was sent to Eng.
land on q mission, and remained there
several years. On his return be was re-
arrested, pleaded guilty and served six
months in the Territorial prison.
Roberts agreed to abide by the mani
festo of 1890, declaring polygamy unlaw.
ful. But in the SANE year he wished to
marry DR.. Maggie Ship. When Joseph
F. Smith told him he could not take
her through the temple" i. e., marry
her by Mormon rite, Roberts is said to
have married her in another State.
AT any rate, DIR. Ships professional
card and sign now read "Dr. Maggie c.
Roberts," and ct her cottage Office on
Canyon street Mr.. Roberts makes his
Salt Lake City home.
It lie supposed that DR.. Roberts will
be the wife chosen TO accompany Mr..
Roberts to Washington, while the "coun.
try wives" run the Roberts farm in Cen.
terville.
One Of these estimable ladies is the
mother of the twins that gave the car
toonists such an opportunity. These
twins were born August l, 1897, although
Mr.. Roberts had put away his plural
wives 10 1890.
Despairing Of beating Roberts at the
polls, his opponents plan to keep him out
Of his seat in Congress. Several efforts
were made to exclude George Quayle
Cannon on the ground that he was a po-
lygamist, bat he kept his seat until 1882.
when be was finally excluded.
1t is supposed that Mr.. Roberts is not
averse TO making q contest at Washing
ton. He believes with Cannon that "a
Mormon has as good q right IS any other
man to his seat ; two.thirds Of the law
makers are polygamists in fact, anyhow"

Silver is the basis Of the currency 10

There SEEM to be good reason. the
Chicago Record says. for the lamenta-
tions uttered by an Eastern publication
because there are more unmarried men
than unmarried women in the country.
The trouble is evidently irr~emediable.
for while there are 8 .427, 767 bachelors in
the United States there are only 3.224.-
494 unmarried ladies. Many Of the men
have remained single because of the re-
lection of their advances in times past,
but eyen supposing that all the 3,224.-
494 maidens should consent to wed there
still must remain a surplus of 2. 203, 273
cases of bachelorhood.

Looted the Poor Box,

New York, Nov. 1.-The Rev. Father
Commiskey, assistant pastor of ST. NAL
achy's Catholic Church, Atlantic and Van
Siclen Avenues, Brooklyn, yesterday
morning, in the Gates Avenue police
court, accused Frank O'Connor, twenty
three years old, of robbing one of the
poor boxes in the church. Father Com
miskey told the court that he caught the
man in the act. O'Connor, who said he
was bricklayer and volunteer soldier,
said that hunger made him steal the mon
ey. He gave his address as No. 256 Four
teenth Street. Father Commiskey eX-
planned that he heard one of the electric
bells attached to the poor box ring. He
discovered O'Connor kneeling alongside
of it, apparently in prayer. The money
that he took from the poor box was found
in his hat.
