RESOLUTIONS ADOPTED BY THE PRESBYTERIAN AS-
 sEMBLY AGAINST HIM
RELIGIOUS INTOLERANCE.
Violation of Constitutional Rights Invasion of the Vested Rights of
 the Sovereign State of Utah,
sDeetal Correspondence of the Graphfc

Special Correspondence of the Graphic: Oracle, Ariz., June 5.-The gen eral assembly of the Presbyterian Church, recently adjourned, during its session at Minneapolis, unani- mously adopted resolutions opros- ing the seating of Congressman elect Roberts, of Utah Notwlth Standing the entire separation of church and State in this country, the Presbyterian assembly seeks to dictate what Congress shaa do. Their action against Roberts is based on the fact that De is Nor mon, and prior to the passage of an act by Congress prohibiting poly gamy, had taken unto himself three wives, which he refused to repudiate Bnd cast off after the passage of the law.
 The constitution of the United 6tates guarsu tees the absolute right to worship God according to the 1ictates of ones conscience This guarantee is sacred and is extended to the believers of all creeds alike. This sacred instrument is a protec- tion to the Presbyterian as we'll as the Baptist; to the Methodist as yell as the Campbellitp; to the cathohe as well as the Episcopalian; to the Jew as we'll as the Gentle, and should be to the Mormon. When MT Roberts married more than one wife it was in pursuance of bis religious teachings and convic. lions, and not in violation of the
 aws of his country The antl-poly- gamy law was enacted by Congress Afterwards, and, of course, could pot affect past marriages but apply any to the future Therefore Mir. Roberts has violated neither the law of his God nor of his count try. 2 refusing to repudiate any of bis wves, after being privileged to do g by the laws of the land, he evi- aenced his appreciation of his
 Rlgion and his obligation to his Wves by remaining loyal to them.
 Nas not this more honorable con aact than to have cast two of them
 and their children aside?

The spirit that passed the resolu- senS Of protest in the Presby terian gperal assembly at Minneapolis is ae same spirit that drove the Pil- 'am 'am Fathers from the old world to
 ae new, and the same spirit that R9ye Roger Williams out of Mas <. over two centuries ago. 'ae world is supposed to have be- 'gPe considerably enlightened and a7Fe toleran' since then, therefore

Semi=weekly graphic., 1899-06-07

There is still another view of this Roberts case: Utah is a sovereign state, and as such has selected a Congressman. There is no shadow on MT. Roberts title to the office. He was elected by the people of the state. Are the people of Utah to be deprived of the right to choose their own Representatives? This would be a violation of the Federal consti- tuition and an injustice to the peo- pie of Utah. True, Congress is the sole judge of the qualifications, elec- tion, etc., of it's members, but Con gress has no right to deprive a member of his seat because of any religious views or tenets he may hold.
 Even in this day of our boasted freedom, civilization and enlighten ment, we need to review the ons5i- tuition and history of our country occasionally for correct and guid ing principles. It seems to me sometimes that people forget some of tLe very principles upon which our government was founded.
 J. ". ADAMS.
Semi=weekly graphic., 1899-06-07

the spirit of religious intolerance has no place, or should have no place, on this boasted soil of free America and in the closing twilight of Nineteenth Century civilization.
 All of this fuss and feathers and protests against the seating of Congressman-elect Roberts by var ions religious bodies IS unwarranted and in violation of the spirit of our constitution and institutions. The Presbyterian general assembly has done no more than many other religious bodies that have adopted similar protests. The religious world has been needtully aroused over the Roberts case. Men and women have permitted their religi- ous zeal to run away with their judgment; and wrapt in the seclu- sion of their own dogmatic creeds they have forgotten the sacred and constitutional rights of others. Although a Mormon, Mir. Roberts is a good citizen of splendid and examplary character, worships his God according to the dictates and teachings of bis own conscience, and has rights that Congress is bound, and other religious denominations should be taught, to respect.

NOT IDENTIFIED.
Man Killed on the Bridge Tuesday
Night is Not Yet Positively
Identified.
from Thursdays Daily.

tFFoHi lIluI5uus > DoLS.J
The victim of the accident at the bridge
Tuesday night Is not yet Identified. So far
as can be learned in the city. the man was
an old timer along the railroad, and had
worked for the railroad as far back as the
early seventies, long before the completion
Of the road to Bismarck. This fact is
ascertaincd from some men with whom he
talked in the city the early part of the
week when he mentioned acquaintance
with men who had worked along the road
at that time. But no one knows the name
Of the man, or whether he has relatives.
He took dinner at the Western hotel Mor-
day NOON, and the clerk there changed a
five dollar bill for him. 1t appears that
the man started at that time, stopped for
ored to walk across the bridge. 1t seems
pretty we'll settled that he lay dow on the
track and was run over, for nothing was
seen of him by the crew Of No. :, al
though blood was discovered on the engine,
conclusive evidence that it was that train
hat struck him..
A coroner's inquest will be held at Man.
1t is said there was almost a stampede on
the work train when the body was dis
covered. The train had passed over the
body before it was seen by the crew, and
none Of them were anxious to remove the
remain from the track, although Conduc-
tor Delmor finally summoned some of the
other men to assist him and the fragments
We're removed.

BALDWIN's WOUND.
Lieutenant Baldwin Writes from Manila
of the Encounter in Which He
Was Wounded.

Miss Nellie Wallace of this city has
received an interesting letter from
Lieutenant Dorman Baldwin, who was
recently wounded in an engagement
with the Filipinos. He says:
zone of the insurgents played quite
an April fool trick on me-took a long
chance shot and got me below the knee:
but they never knew they hurt any
body for at about that time things
We're getting pretty warm for them.
Two other men were injured while they
We're dressing my wound. The boys
are all very good to me, calling every
day to inquire after my condition.
Miss Penney (the North Dakota nurse)
gives me a good half hour of her time
every day. y The troops are
now preparing to take Paranaque.
That is one scrap I've planned on being
in. After guarding those lines for
nine or ten weeks expecting an attack
every day and then not to be in at the
killing is a shame. 1t would not he
half as bad to be shot in a big scrap
such as that will be. = = + Do YOU
know Lieut.. Mclean of Co. A? Well,
he is all right. In the fight the day I
got it, he was out in front of the COM
pany yelling "come on boys" and wav-
ing his hat, and the bullets were conf
ing one way like a hail storm. Bill
has never had a chance before to show
what he was made of. 1 had a good
chance of Judging, as I was with Major
White as acting adjutant."

OVENSHINE K
Didn't Want to Lose the North Da-
kotans Who Seem to be in
Demand.

Harry Hamilton Of Grand Forks, writing
from Manila, gives the following news of
general interest to friends of the state
troops:
Day before yesterday, twelve Jorgensen
rifles were issued to each company of the
North Dakotas. Each non-commissione6
officer received one and the balance went
to sharp shooters. General Lawton made
the statement that If we IN. DIS were here
in thirty days we would be entirely equipped
with the new gun. We will get the new
gun, then.
About two weeks ago the North Dakotas
were brigaded under General King, and
thereby hangs a tale. General Ovenshine,
our old brigade commander, and under
whom We fought on Feb. 4, did not like this
arrangement a little bit, and when the order
came for the change he sent his aide to the
commanding general to inquire if it was
not a mistake. 1t is also reported that
the order came soon after this for the Four
tteenth regiment of regulars to change bril-
gades. Then did General Ovenshine get
wrathy. Appearing before the commander
he stated that he (the commanding generaD
had already taken his best regiment Il. e..
the N. D.'s) from him, and if he was going
to insist on taking the Fourteenth, he
(Ovenshine) would go back to the colonelcy
of the Third regiment. The Fourteenth
regiment of regulars did not change bri-
gades. 1t is a well known fact that Gen.
eral Ovenshine thinks a great deal of the
North Dakota regiment. 1 believe it was
Captain (Spud) Murphy of the Fourteenth
regiment who remarked that the North
Dakotas weren't much on discipline, bur
hey were "deyilS' to ego"
General King Is the senior brigade general
and has his pick Of troops, and it is a.
credit and a compliment to the North Da-
kotas to have been chosen by him. We
are now in the First division, First brigade,
Eighth army corps.

sHERIFF's CHARGES.
Case From Cass County Involving
SheriFs Charges for Sale of Lands
is Argued.

The cas- brought in Cass county by
the sheriff against the county commits
sioners for fees for the sale of lands
under the Woods bill, is being argued
in the supreme court today. The
case is a test case by which the fees Of
all sheriffs in the state for making this
sale will be determined. The sheriff
Of Cass county charged a separate fee
for the sale Of each description Of land
and the total amount of his bill under
this charge would he something like
$1,000. The Grand Forks county
commissioners have paid a bill of
something like $4,000 for the sale and
it is stated Senator McCuml)er has ad-
vised the commissioners of Richland
county to make payment to the sheriff
at the same rate. The Cass county
case is being argued by Judge Corliss
for the sheriff and Morrill, & Engerud
for the county.

1 staid in my quarters for a few days.
Soon my face began to break out in
blotches, and I went over to see a doc
tor Of the 18th regulars. who said L
had ''some skin disease" But that
didn't satisfy me-. and l then went to
the division hospital and saw q couple
of physicians there. They didn't do
a thing but send me to the small pOx
camp. They said 1 had varioloid, a
light form of smallpox. They kept
me in the smallpox camp for eight or
nine days; then they gave me a bath
in a solution of mercury and sent me
to the division hospital to remain for
four days. Now l am back i'll quar-
tiers. 1 was practically over the
disease when 1 went to the hospital,
but vas just getting in shape to give
it to some one else. AS it is. 1 am
over it, haven't a mark or me, and am
an immune. I am as safe from small
pox 10Y as though I had a bad case.
A man sees some terrible sights on
a battle field, but there is nothing as
terrible as the ward in 4 smallpox hos
pital. There the poor boys lay, COW
cred completely with running sores,
getting nothing but arsenic, bad wills
ky and morphine as medicine. 1t is a
case of live or die. If a man is for
tunate to live, he comes down the front
stairs and takes his place with the
other convalescents; if he dies. he goes
down the back stairs, where a black
box awaits his remains. A few
shovelfuls Of quicklime is thrown into
the bottom Of the box. The body is
then wrapped in a sheet and deposited
in the box, which is then filled up with
lime. I was told that in twenty-four
hours the flesh would be gone from
the bones, and that at the end of forty
eight hours the bones themselves
would be entirely eaten up. One has
to see it all to understand how terrible
it is. 1 thank God with all my heart
that I got off as easily as l did.

LAND CASES..
Cases Involving the Title to Lands
Settled on by Squatters to Come
up in Court.

The Grand Forks Herald says: An ac-
count was published in the Herald some
days ago of a case which had been brought
in the land office involving the title to land
in Cavalier county, in which the principal
point to be decided was to what extent a
settlers good faith, honest intentions, and
Ignorance of the law are to be considered
as against another persons technical COM
pl1ance with the law. In this case register
Kent and Receiver Lindstrom, of the local
land office, ruled in favor Of the honest, but
ignorant settler, and their decision will be
reviewed by the land department.
Another case, involving a somewhat sim
liar question. m from Burleigh county,
and will be tried at the ensuing term of
the federal court in Fargo. Prior to the
selection and patenting of the lands in the
Northern Pacific indemnity grant, a num-
Der of settlers had squatted on the lands in
question, and, being of foreign birth, and
ignorant of American avs and customs,
they supposed that the mere settlement
upon and Improvement of the lands was all
that was required. They therefore neg
lected to file on the land as provided by law.
When the Northern Pacific land grant was
about to be made, these lands were included
in 1t, there being nothing on record to show
that any individuals claimed rights or
equities therein. 1t comes to pass, there
fore, that the Northern Pacific company is
given the title to lands on which settlement
was made in good faith years ago, and
which have been materially improved by
the people who supposed themselves to be
owners.
The matter was reported to the land de-
partment and the attorney general, and
the latter issued Instructions, which are
being carried out by Assistant L.. S. District
Attorney Murphy, Of this city, to ask the
court for a cancellation Of the land grant
