An Englishman's Appreciation of

An English woman, who after seven
years residence in this country, spent
last summer with her relatives in Eng
land, returns this autumn completely
converted to most American ways" TO

comfort OF these warm American homes.
Although everybody whom | met In Eng
land said this last summer was unusual

feeling that assalled me from the day OF
landing. / first came 10 America in the
hope that the change OF climate would
relieve the chronic neuralgia from which
| suffered. The hope WAS more than JUS
fitted, for i was soon completely cured.
My initial winter In New York gave me.
for the first time in my life, the sensation
Of genial, enyeloping warmth, a condition
10 which | ascribe ny cure. This sum-
mer in the stone houses OF my friends In
Yorkshire and HeTefordshire | recognized

men are martyrs TO neuralgia, and Eng

poLYGAMY IN UTAH.
Statement by Ssnstor Rawlins with Refer
ences to Charges Against His State on
Account Of Roberts Election.

Washington. Nov. Ex-senator Raw.
Inns, Of Utah, for the present the sole
representative Of that state in the SEN
ate, furnishes a statement with refer.
ence to the charges az ainst his state on
account of the election of Mr.. Roberts:
It Is claimed that the Mormon church by de-
ceit and fraud brought about the admission of
Utah into the union so that behind statehood
lines polygamy might be practiced with i'm
punity. The compact between the state Of Utah
at the time Of her admission and the United
States that polygamous marriages should be for
hidden, was to be irrevocable without the con-
sent Of the United States and the people Of the
state.
Utah, both In her constitution and statutes,
has provided for the punish ment Of polygamy
and all kindred onenses No complaint has
been or can truthfully be made that these laws
ore not enforced. All the members OF the SUI
preme court and seven out Of the nine district
Judges In the state are non-Mor mons and 1t is
safe to say that the entire judiciary stand
ready to enforce these laws. The public prose-
cutors are mostly non Mormons and oil, be-
lieve, -polygamists. During the past year
the state has been raked In scar oh Of cases Of
polygamy with which to feed the new modern
sensation, but no complaint has been placed
against any man charging him with this offense.
So far Utah has sacredly kept the compact.
But 1t Is charged that thepeople OF Utah have
elected polygamists in that state to Offices.
This Is true In some instances and 1t Is equally

THE FINANCIAL BILL.
Measure Prepared BY Republican
Caucus Committee Made Public.
UNIT OF VALUE The COLD DOLLAR.


Washington, Nov. 20.-The financial
bill prepared by the republican caucus
committee which met at Atlantic City
last spring was yesterday made public
by the committee. Its principal fea-
lures are as follows: The standard
unit Of value shall be, IS now, the gold
dollar; that all obligations Of the gov
eminent shall be payable in gold, but
nothing in the bill shall be construed
to affect the present legal tender quail
ity Of the silver dollar or minor coins
or the paper currency, or the laws
making national bank notes receivable
and payable for certain public debts
and dues and obligations. between ma
tional banks. The national bank law
is also amended and new division OF
issue and redemption is established in
the treasury department.
The report on the bill has been pre-
pared by Representative Overstreet, of
Indianapolis, who introduced the
original bill OF the monetary commits
sion in 1898. 1t is pointed out that
there can be but one standard at one
time and that the convenience Of com
merce is promoted by the use of differ
ent media of exchange, convertible
into the standard. The report con-
tinues: "When the standard shall be
permanently established and all doubt
Of its stability removed the parity OF
all our money will be fully recognized
and the kind Of money in which pay
ments shall be made will rarely, If
ever, be the subject Of dispute"
Mr.. 0verstreet quotes the pledge OF
the republican national convention OF
1893 that "all our silver and paper cur
rency must be maintained at parity
with gold, and we favor all measures
designed to maintain inviolable the
obligations Of the United States and
all our money, whether coin or paper,

the States business as carefully as he
had his own private affairs and that
he would be found at bis Office every
day from 5 In the morning until 6 at

ded account Of the number Of times
the governor has been absent from

he mas paid no attention whatever to
the affairs OF state, but has been de-

The facts are the governor has been
out Of the State four times since his
inauguration. He went to California

in Chicago; was in Montana a week;
and spent three days in the Ohio

him. Had he done this they would
