POLITICS AND MORMONISM.

1t grows more and more evident that the
fight being made on Congressman elect
Roberts, OF Utah, derives its main support,
in that State at least, from the fact that he
is Democrat, and not because he is Nor
mon. That he had possessed himself OF
three wives prior to the anLi-polygamous
resolution OF the Mormon Church is merely
an excuse, 80 far as the men go who are
inspiring and prompting this movement
That there are many honest and we'll
meaning people who believe that Roberts
should not be seated is true, and this moral
sentiment is being used to bolster up the
tactics Of the politicians OF Utah.
There ought TO be national law against
polygamists taking seats in Congress, but
there is none. Neither Is there any statute
against polygamy, 30 that Roberts Is in con-
tempt of no federal law. Such being the
fact, there is no legal ground on which Con-
gress can expel or decline to accord him his
seat. 1t is true that the House of Repre-
sentatives is the sole judge Of Its own mem.
bers, and, as an arbitrary act, can expel Mr..
Roberts or any other member, and give no
excuse or season for 80 doing. II an at
tempt be made to expel members for i'm
morality, we are greatly In fear that there
would be many vacant seats in the House.
1t might establish a rule that no man who
had red hair, or used false teeth, should sit
in the House, and there is no power by
which such rule or decision could be over
ridden.
Heretofore very few persons have ever
been expelled from Congress, and those
only for offenses which came within the
purview OF high crimes and misdemeanors
Mr.. Roberts does not come within this list,
and hence, save as an arbitrary act, Con
gress has no basis on which 10 rest a reso
luton of expulsion. The precedent created
by MIR. Roberts expulsion would be an ex
tremely dangerous one.

MCLEAN AND THE DEMOCRACY.

MCLEAN AND THE DEMOCRACY
The Washington Post, speaking of the
Ohio election, says:
John r. Mclean can congratulate himself
upon having made gallant fight against
overwhelming odds; upon having kept in-
tact the Democratic organization in Ohio
under most uniavorable circumstances, and
upon having demonstrated 10 the entire sat
isfaction oil the country that a very consd
cradle majority OF the voters Of his State are
at least opposed TO Republican policies and
purposes, whatever may be their differences
among themselves. The Jones vote was as
much anti Republican on this occasion as
the Mclean vote, and, while the division
resulted in Republican victory, the fact,
together with its significance, remains IN.
disturbed.
Meanwhile, Mr.. Mclean has identified
himself with the organized Democracy in
a most impressive and unmistakable way,
and has revealed himself as leader OF
courage, ability and address. OF his execu-
tive and administrative capacity there is no
longer any room for doubt. OF his devo.
ton TO Democratic welfare and success he
has furnished abundant and convincing
proof He is to day one of the most con.
spicuous figures In his party. He has shown
that be is no fair weather ally, no selfish op
portunist, but a good, stalwart Democratic
fighter under any sky. The party will be
both ungrateiul and unwise 10 forget his
services in Ohio. The party will not for.
get, however. Leaders Of McLean's cali.
Der, of McLean's force and nerve and prov
ess, are far from plentiful.
