citizens.
Three grounds on which
Roberts should be unSeated are
stated First-That Roberts,
ever since and prior To the adj
mission of Utah to Statehood,
has been living in open fragrant.
and notorious violation of the
laws of this State. Second
That he publicly and persist
emily justifies his course of
unlawful conduct by the claim
that he acts under the sanction
of laws higher than those of
the State or of the UnitedStateS.
Third That laws thus violated
and set at naught by him
are those against polygamy
and polygamous Capitalization.
which laws. sanctioned by sol
emn covenants and pledges of
good faith, are peculiarly bind
ing upon all citizens of the
State of Utah.
The Edmunds- Tucker act of
the United States and the man
ifesto of the Mormon Church
against polygamy the grant
ing of amnesty To polygamists
on their promise to give it up !;
that part of the State Consti-
tuition prohibiting polygamy !;
the terms of the enabling act,
and the laws of the State
against plural marriages, to
gether with alleged utterances
of Roberts admitting and justi
flying his course, are set out at
great length.

UNCLE SAM is already having
a heap of trouble with the Phil
ippine Islanders. They do not
intend for us to boss them, so
the Insurgents who defied the
Spanish are now defying the
United States. A few week
ago they raised their flag over
Iloilo, the Spaniards surrender
ing to them. This did not suit
us, so we sent warships and
soldiers to take possession OF
lloilo in the name of the L. 5.
The islanders threatened to at
tack our troops if they attempt
ed to land. and would destroy
the city by fire. The Americans
are waiting for instructions and
reinforcements. The latest is
that the city of Manila is being
surrounded by the Insurgents
and the Americans are to be at
tackled. Every day word of a
battle is expected. General
Otis has been ordered to pre-
vent a battle with the natives
if possible, but they seem to be
bent on raising a row. There
is no doubt but what the Phil
ippines will give us more trou-
BILE and cost more money than
they are worth.

would get all that came back
and the taxpayers and common
people would pay for the ar
mics and the colonial govern
ment. There was IA scene of
the widest enthusiasm when
the speaker ended shortly be-
fore | o'clock. Men jumped on
their chairs and some upon the
tables. and loudly cheered and
waved their hats and handker-
chiefs for a long time.
Referring TO the Philippine
question Mr.. Bryan said j:
When men are excited they
talk about what they can do ;
when they are calm they talk
about what they ought to do.
If the President rightly inter
preted the feelings of the peo-
pie when they were intoxicated
by a military triumph, we shall
appeal from Philip drunk to
Philip sober"
The real question is whether
we can in one hemisphere de-
velop the theory that govern
ments derive their just power
from the consent of the govern
ed, and at the same time inaug-
urate, support and defend in
the other hemisphere a govern
ment which derives its author
ity entirely from superior force.
The Bible teaches us that it
is more blessed to give than to
receive. while the colonial pol
icy is based upon the doctrine
that il is more blessed to take
than to leave.
We entered the Spanish war
as peacemakers. Imperialists
have an iDdistinct recollection
that blessing has been prom
Used to the peacemakers, and
also to the meek, but their de-
sire for more territory has per-
verted their memories, SO that
rs they greet the former it
reads
Blessed are the peacemak-
ers. for they shall INHERIT the
earth.
Spain, under compulsion,
gives us a quit claim to the
Philippines in return for $40,
600 900. but she does not agree
to defend our title as against
the Filipinos. To buy land is
one thing to buy people is an
other. Land is inanimate and
makes no resistance 10 a trans
fer of title the people are ami
mate and sometimes desire Il
voice in their own affairs.
Military rule is antagonistic
To our theory of government.
The ornaments which are used
to defend it in the Philippines
may be used to excuse 1t in the
United States.
Even if the party has abso-
lutte confidence in its great pol
itical manager, Senator Hanna.
il must be remembered that the
people of Ohio have compelled
him to serve them in the Unit
ed States, and that inferior

III might As well De conceded
by every one, as it is by all
who have with any care studied
the subject of practical politics,
that organization is an abso-
lutte necessity in carrying out
party principles. Independence
is very good, and the profession
of that virtue. if it.be one, is
the fashion at present. But il
may well be questioned wheth-
er independence is not fac
tiousness in most cases. No
party can have so much mo-
mentum by the mere force of
its principles that it will reach
success without the combina-
ton and discipline of its ele-
ments Let an organization
be ever so bad in its purposes,
it will achieve more than many
times its number of.individuals
who are splashing about and
employing their energies in
simply making a noise.
Recognizing this fact, the
organization of the Democratic
party in Baltimore, as every
where else, must be regarded as
essential to the party's exist
ence, and the true question is,
not how to get rid of it by de-
stroying it, but how to improve
its form so that it will become
the real and complete represen-
tative of the people. This can
not be accomplished by the
members of the party holding
off, taking no part in the man
agement of primaries and con-
ventions. merely criticising
when matters do not go to
please them. Every Democrat
has a deep:interest in the credit
and usefulness of his party,
and it is but a duty to use
every endeavor to enhance
these objects. His presence
and moral influence is needed
at the primaries. He should
join heartily and earnestly in
the work of keeping the men
and methods which are to con-
troll party policy clean ard
above reproach.
This kduty has not always
been observed in Baltimore,
but il is none the less clear.
No better time than the present
year will come for inaugurating
the habit of personally aiding
to improve the organization.
Regin at the root, talk over the
best and most available candi.
dates, consider what improve
ments are needed in local
affairs, in taxation, in public
enterprise, religlously attend
the primaries, sternly rebuke
wrong tendencies you may
observe there, and actively
labor to overthrow unwise or
unrighteous schemes. Then
you will have earned a right Ia
grumble if the result is not
what you deem best. No party
however good its principles,
can be so but that those who
are active and jealous, whether
honest or dishonest, will be
able TO control matters. If you
turn over to the selfish and
INSCRIPTIONS the interest you
ought to feel in your party, can
you expect them to adjust the
organization as you think il
ought to be adjusted :
