On to Washington.

The ladies of Winona bless 'em, are
resolved that the Utah congressman
shall not transfer his lares and penates
and his three wives to Washington.
They have placed a Yale lock, as it
were, on the proposition by having
their representative introduce some
resolutions instructing Minnesota's
seven members and two senators to
stand forth with pike and pistol and
prevent the admission Of the polyga-
nous Roberts to the halls Of congress
The representatives of every state In
the Union, once they reach Washing
ton, are singularly unmindful of this
class of resolutions, and. although it
may be within the power OF Mime
sofas wise Republicans to hold up
congress, we doubt if they will.
The Pioneer Press has been after
them on this same proposition, but with
no success to date. But who knows
what might be accomplished If Uncle
Joe should place his lance in rest and
lead the Winona ladies on to Washing
ton? Here would be a living force, not
without weight or influence. What
would two ounces of paper amount to,
embodying the vote of Minnesota's
legislature, compared with such a
force?

Our National Literature.

What seems a complete reversal
of the accepted laws Of logic is the
statement of Hamilton w. Mabie in the
January Forum to the effect that "a
literature, adequate IN it's power and
vision to the range of life on this con-
tinent, is a prime necessity for our
safety. We need a literature" he con-
tinues. which shall speak to and for
the consciousness of the nation, as the
New England literature spoke to and
for the consciousness of New England
The note of nationality was struck
with resonant clearness by Emerson,
Lowell and Whittier, but the force
and depth of conscious national life
were not behind these earlier poets as
they will be behind their successors"
Close scrutiny will reveal an incon-
,sistency between the first and last SEN
fences of the quoted paragraph. In
the first Mr.. Mabie asserts that our
safety demands national literature,
and by context infers that such ma
tional literature is necessary to bring
about a national feeling. In the last
sentence he implies that sense Of ma
ticnality has existed for some time
