not he remained in the room all the af-

SUFFERING AT CARDSTON
Hundreds of Emigrants Have Re-
turned Broken in Spirit and
Purse From the Colony
In Alberta.

Great Falls May 25.-About a month
ago the statement that much suffering
was present among the settlers at
Cardston, the Mormon colony in AL
berta, was made by the Dupuyer
Acantha and copied in this column,
Evidently the statement caused much
excitement among the brethren, for
Utah papers have taken pains to deny
the truth of the facts as stated. The
Acantha, which is located on the main
road between Cardston and civilization,
is in a position to learn the truth. and
this week reiterates it's declaration with
additional facts, as follows:
1T will take considerably more than
the mere statement of Mr.. Card or any
of his hired press representatives to
convince the people of Northern Mon
tana, who live along the main travelled
thoroughfare between Utah and AL
berta, that the average persons finan-
cial condition can be in any manner
improved by emigrating to that section
of nine months winter and three
months late in the fall We have seen
too many return from there during the
past three years to believe any of the
fairy tales concerning Southern Al
berta that emanate from those who
reap the harvest of dollars from these
poor emigrants. And the wonder is,
as stated to us by the parties who
returned about month ago, that
old Card is not made the principal
of meek tie" party for having de-
ceived the people in the shameful way
in which he has, concerning the condi-
lions in that section

The unwilling of the statue of Gen
eral Grant at FairmOunt park. Phla-
delphia, reminds many in this city that
among all the statues that adorn the
parks, streets and buildings of the cap
ital, there is not one to Gen. Ulysses
S. Grant. There are statues to Wash
ington, Jefferson, Jackson, Lincoln,
Scott, Farragut, Mcpherson. Thomas
Ethan Allen, Garfield, Fulton, Web
ster, Logan. Hancock, Sherman and
others famous in war and statesman
ship, but none of Grant.
A few years ago a q. A. r. OrganiZa-
ton had a statue of Gen. Grant made
and sent it to Washington, presenting
it to the nation. and asking that it be
placed in the capitol. a place was as
signed to it in the corridor just off the
great rOtunda. 1t could not be placed
in Statuary hall. because that place is
reserved for statues of famous men
presented by the various states, each
state having the right to two places.
The statue of General Grant came to
Washington carefully boxed and reach
ed the capitol. 1t is required that be-
fore any statue shall be accepted and
placed in the capitol, it shall be passed
upon and accepted by the joint con-
gresional committee on library This
committee appointed day to view the
marble of General Grant, and on that
day the wooden boxes were taken from
around the stone. One view was enough
for the committee, They unanimously
pronounced it bad. 1t was considered
not only bad likeness of the famous
general, but far from an artistic piece
of work. The verdict was against the
statue, and it was ordered boxed up
again and returned to the owners. The
box stood for months in the hig ro
tunda. and was pointed out to visitors
as the rejected statue of Grant. Finally
it was taken away. This was the near
est approach to erecting in Washington
OF a statue to one of the greatest of
modern generals.
