orders for all descriptions OF cotton goods

evidence. but actual business IS limited
by the strong over-sold condition of lead

In fifteen seconds most of those in the front row had raised their hands, and in forty seconds the "odor" had spread to the back of the hall, keeping pretty reg ular wave front as it passed on. About three-quarters of the audience claimed to perceive the smell, the ob- stinate minority including more men than the average of the whole. More would probably have succumbed to the suggestion, but at the end of minute l was obliged to stop the experiment, for some of the front seats were being unpleasantly affected and were about to leave the room.

 ants made by his people in order to se- cure amnesty and statehood" MT. Roberts was elected a member of the House of Representatives in November, 1898, and has not yet taken his seat. The effort to have MT. Roberts eX-
 peled will receive much support. There are very many people in this country who do not think that an open and de- liant polygamist ought to have a seat
 in congress. The Baltimore Sun goes further and thinks that after MT. Rob-
 erts is expelled there is more work for
 the Salt Lake Ministerial association to
 do. It says: The Salt Lake Minister
 ial association should turn its attention
 to the relations existing between the
 governments of the United States and
 his Majesty the Sultan of Sulu, with
 It,b
 sioner, Prof Schurman, not long ago
 concluded a treaty Under the terms
 of this treaty the American govern ment agrees to pay a stipulated yearly
 sum to the Sultan and to a number of his chiefs. MT. Roberts is not polyg- amist of the type of our Sulu friends
 however objectionable his practices may be. He has very few wives, and probably takes care of them. The Sul- tan of Sulu and his chiefs maintain large tablishments in the true Eastern style, and to poygamy add slavery. The people of the United States, through the treaty negotiated by the adminis- tration with the Sulu potentates, are, therefore, taxed to support polygamy and slavery in the Philippines in their most offensive form. While the Salt Lake Ministerial association is destroy ing polygamy in Utah. it ought also to use its influence with President McKin- ley to nullify the treaty by which this government takes money out of it's treasury and gives it to the Sultan of Sulu and his chiefs to maintain their harems. What is bad in Utah should not receive the indorsement of this government in the Philippines.
 The Sun is impatient. By and by everything will be all right in the Philippines.
