puted that Roberts has at least three
wives with whom he openly lives. and
that he has married them all since the
anti-polygamy laws applying to Utah
were passed. The campaign resulting
in his election had polygamy as one of
its chief issues, and the Mormons
boasted that their triumph was a
defiance to the national government
and the Union.
Congress cannot evade the issue.
To allow Roberts to retain his seat Will
be an endorsement of the covenant
breaking of Utah, and an acknowledS-
ment that Mormon polygamy is. more
powerful than the national government
and not to be stamped out. The only
square, honorable and self-respectlng
course for Congress to pursue is to eX-
pei Roberts as early in the session as
possible. The interests of good gov
eminent and the cause of pubic NOR
ality demand such action. The fact
that Congress refused 10 seat 1eoTS"
p. Cannon. a polygamist. as delegate
from Utah. in 1882, gives a precedent,
if any is needed. To allow Roberts to
retain his seat, would be a surrender
to Mormonism by the government and
the country. 1t would establish
polygamy as a legitimate system of
marriage and make it at once 4 men
ace to the American home, which is
the corner stone of our Christian
civilization.
The country is aroused to the inn
portance of the matter, and will send
such protest to Congress as was
never made before against the cleo
ton or seating Of a member. Every
where petitions are being circulated
and appeals made to congressman. In
this State and city the work is being
done and will be supported by every
good citizen. regardless of political or
religious opinions. The American
Congress must stand uncompromising-
ly for honesty. for morality. for the
Christian home. and for the safety Of
our free institutions, by the prompt
expulsion of Roberts of Utah.

Notice to Mariners.

Boston Mass. Nov. 1o.-Commander
J. K. Selfridge, inspector second light
house district. has received word from
Washington that the lighthouse board
has approved his recommendation that
the position of the Boston lightship be
changed to a point one mile north Of
its present location Of Thieves ledge.
This is gratifying news to the masters
Of large, deep draft vessels frequenting
this port. The lighthouse board order
ed that two months notice Of the
change be given. 1t will not be made
until January, 1900. although notice
will probably be Immediately issued
from Commander Selfridge's office.
When the order goes into effect vessels
bound to Boston should shape their
course from the lightship to the en-
trance of the harbor direct and in
leaving port should point directly for
the lightship. This would carry them
we'll north of Thieves ledge, giving
them eight fathoms of water all the
way.

The Case OF Roberts OF Utah.

As the time approaches for the meet
ing of the seth Congress. the effort to
prevent Brigham H. Roberts of Utah.
from retaining the seat to which he
was elected. last fall. is assuming pro-
portions more and more formidable.
Ever since his election the movement
against him has been gaining strength.
and as public sentiment has been
ter it has been more and more appar-
ent that Congress could not do other
wise than heed the demand of the peo-
pie and. in the interests of public
morality and the general welfare of
the country. eXpel the Utah polyga-
mist The platform and the press have
supplemented the efforts of the great
religious organizations, and some of
the state Legislatures have even pass
ed vigorous resolutions on the matter.
Many long and strong petitions We're
sent to the last Congress protesting
against the admission of Mr.. Roberts
but this ammunition was to q great
extent wasted as the Eext Congress is
the body which is sole judge of the
qualifications of it's members and
which alone has power to exp2l an OBJ

stitution the House cannot do othe:-

The Working OF Orc Flag Law.

one of the laws passed by the 9th
Maine Legislature was to prevent the
desecration, mutilation or improper use
of the American flag. 1t forbid its use
device or words printed upon it, or by
having any representation of the flag
attached to or impressed upon any
wares or merchandise. For the viola
ton Of this law by advertisers or for
any DETACHMENT or mutilation of a
National or State flag or ensign,
whether public or private property, the
law provides a fine Of not more than
$50. An exception is made by allowing
regiments ana the q. \. K. to have the
names Of battles. etc. on their flags, and
by allowing political parties in preSi-
dental years to attach the names OF
their candidates to the flags.
This law was passed without any
opposition and was approved on the
closing day of tho session. March H.
1t made no stir at the time and nothing
Las been heard Of it since it was pass
cd The object of the law was plain
enough, to ensure the highest respect
for the flag, and to prevent it's use for
purposes unpatriotic and which would
tend to dctract from its dignity. Il
1af
abuses for none Of that kind exist in
Maine. but the jealous friends of the
flag urged it and nobody bothered t.
object. 1t was felt that the law would
do 10 harm, even if it did no good. As
yet no test case of it has been mad.
and it may never be heard from again.
But in some states the flag law" has
become more serious matter than in
Maine. Several states put such a law
upon the statute books last winter. and
among them was Illinois There the
law has made trouble from the start.
The enforcement Of it has caused muca
litigation ana aroused Il controversy
that has become very bitter. Many
prominent men. old soldiers among
them, have attacked the principle of
the law, declaring it is all wrong to try
to make people patriotic by legislation.
The courts are also divided upon the
validity Of the law. some holding it un-
constitutional. and the supreme court :
decision upon this point will be awaited
with much interest. Judge Gibbons
expressed the opinion that the law was
void, and in his decision said: Where
in is the flag desccrated by making o
Autograph or a picture thereof as a
trademark? If the common use Of the
flag is to abate our veneration for it.

it compulsory upon those in charge TO

Five Years More OF Mckinley.

That is what this weeks elections
mean. They have given renewed con-
fidence to Republicans, making assur-
ance doubly sure. They have made
the condition of the Democracy more
desperate and hopeless than it was
after the Waterloo of November, slS96
1t is an inevitable result of last Tues
DAVIS elections in a dozen states that,
if they live, Mckinley and Bryan will
be the standard bearers in 1900, and
that Republcanism will be even more
widely and emphatically triumphant
than three years ago.
The "off year" elections are, as a
usual thing, adverse to the party in
power. But events have thoroughly
exploded Democratic fallacies and
falsehoods, and people have justly be
come suspicious of Democratic prom
hand, Republican policies and prin-
ciples are popular. and the country has
confidence in Republicanism and pros
perity under its rule Thus it was
that the elections of 1898 resulted in a
great victory for the administration.
and made the next Congress. like the
last, strongly Republican. And now
the elections of 1899 have resulted in
another magnificent Republican tri-
umph. The country has shown its
faith in the greatness and the wisdom
of the Christian statesman in the
White House. The hopes Of the oppo-
sition have been frustrated, and not a
fair minded man in the country but
realizes that the possibility of McKin-
ley's reelection is now made the
strongest probability.
The old doubtful states, New York,
Connecticut, New Jersey, Indiana are
as surely Republican as Massachu-
sets; and Kansas, Wyoming, Wash
ington, and South Dakota, which voted
for Bryan in 1896, have swung into the
Republican line to stay Maryland,
carried by the Democrats, Tuesday, on
local issues and with the Republicans
quarrcling among themselves, can
never be carried by Bryan or Brya 4
ism. OF course, the Democracy is sure
of the vote of the old slave states in
1900, but what else is it sure Of?
Where else has it even a chance to VII
a few electoral votes? Probably in
Nebraska, where Bryan won a victory,
TUc-.'ay. and possibly in Colorado,
Nevada, Utah and Idaho, though these
follow their neighbOrs into the Repub-
lican camp. Mckinley will have more
electoral votes in 1900 than in 1896.
Happy the land whose political flu
ture for at least five years is 50 wei
assured. II means prosperity and
progress the safety of our Institutions
and the happiness Of our people. It
means the triumph Of the policy Of
national expansion, and the burial be
yond all hope of resurrection of the
pitiful ''anti-impCrialistic" bogy. 1t
means the integrity of our national
credit and the honor of the American
flag. Until March, 1905, William Nc
kinley will be the President of the
United States, and when he leaves that
high office, the country will be in
finitely greater and stronger than
when he entered upon it's duties.
