servation, we have not known Of
a single polygamous marriage
since the manifesto was issued,
and We have heard Of only one
suspicious case. This is remark
able in view of the fact that a
few years prior TO that time poly
gamous marriages were so com
mon as TO attract no particular
attention. However, the "mani-
festo" is not to be regarded as
the sole cause for the discontiau-
ance Of polygamy among the
Mormons Of Idaho. The prac-
tice had begun to wane some
years previously, and at the time
of the issuance of the manifesto,
polygamous marriages were very
rare, 1t occurs 10 us that the
manifesto was more in the nature
Of ratification of what had been
done, than a pronounciamento
against doing it any more. 1t was
revelation after the fact. Mr..
Mcconnell pays a glowing and
well-merited tribute to the SINGER
lily, and self-sacrifcing nature Of
the Mormon people, and thinks
that i was fore-ordained that he
should rise up to vindicate them.
Respecting the sincerity of the
Mormons and the virtue of their
teachings there cannot be any
question, but as to the foreordi-
nation of the governor there may
be some difference of opinion even
among Protestant denominations.
AS to the Roberts case, specific
ally, that is now in the hands Of
congress and viii, it is hoped, be
wisely disposed Of.
Another notable event of the
past week was the turning loose
Of the last Of the prisoners held in
the bullpen. This closes the Inc
cident; and despite the disgrace
full way in which the whole affair
was managed by the State author
tiles, it is sincerely hoped that tn e
reign of terror is at an end. Re-
garded as an attempt to bring
criminals to justice, it was sorry
and expensive failure, as demon-
stration of Democratic incompe-
tency it was quite as successful as
Cleveland's last administration.
We have not yet learned what it
cost the mine owners, but according
to all reports no less than $4,000
would reimburse them. State Aus
ditor Sinclair discovered that Min
ers' Union men had succeeded in
circumventing the permit system
and getting back into the mines.
He promptly issued a proclamation
and that business was stamped
out, We do not see why the
State administration could not now
turn an honest penny by selling
permits. This, possibly, has no
occurred TO them.

the old queen, AMI almost wept
when he recounted all the in
justices which had been inflicted
on her. 1t is true that a report
was circulated TO the effect that
the great American statesman
had been hired to do the business;
but we never credited that. 1t
was simply one Of the symptoms
Of a 9ecaying intellect, Then
you all remember how the poor
man stood around the back door
of fhe Democratic convention in
1896 and -piteously begged to be
admitted; and how when they re-
fused him, he started party Of
his own and hired literary hacks
to write abusive and scurrilous
things about the Democrats. In
short when all his actions during
the past four years are reviewed
one could scarcely be surprised at
any folly he might commit. OF
course, when Mr.. Dubois discov :
ers the feeling in his own State
he is liable to say that the Assoc
lated press despatch was a fake,
or that he was misquoted and that
will satisfy some Of his most in
fatuated followers, but that is all.
Last week Governor Nc
Council gave out an interview
which has attracted considerable
attention. An attempt is being
made to construe it as a defense
of Roberts, the Utah Congress-
man-elect. Mr.. Mcconnell says
"What I regret is that the Nor.
mon people, as church organi-
cation, should be held up to ridi :
cule and censure on account o.
one Of their number being barred
from membership in congress,
providing such bar exists I"
We belive that people in general
feel very much as Mr.. McConne
does on this subject. But the
question behind it is, Do the Nor
mon people, as a church organi-
cation, regard polygamy as a NOR
al crime or as a holy sacrement
temporarily prohibited by unjus
civil laws? We do not believe
that any one seriously doubts thai
Mr.. Roberts, at the moment o.
his election, was living in polyga
nous relations; we do not doubt
that he then, and now, regarded
it as a divine ordinance superior
to all human laws: and no one ac.
quainted with conditions doubt:
that there are many polygamous
families in Idaho today. We be-
lieve, though, that there was {
sort Of implied understanding il
this State to the effect that Their,
would be no interference will

It is refreshing 10 learn that
Governor Steunenbero has n1nno-
ed into the sheen business This
IS probably the worst blow De-
mocracv has received since gleve-
land went into the iron business.
A Nountainbon7e disnatch Of the
Ath. announces that the governor
has purchased a band Of 5000
sheep and 400 lambs. This
means an investment Of about
$40, 900. 1t is also stated that he
intends buying up several more
bands. It's therefore fair to as
sumo that he intends putting INFO
sheep some $4,000. This is an
example Of what Republican

who is diIigent and economical.
When the governor assumed con
troll of the State, he was still suf-
fering from the effects Of Demo
cratic prosperity, and, it is said,
was obliged to borrow money
with which to conduct his cam
paign. A conservative estimator
saws he was at least $1,000 in the

thousand dollars a year, SO at the

90 STRAIGHT ON.

"othcially" inviting all Silver Re-
publicans TO return to the Repub-
lican party. 1t seems to us that
this ground was thoroughly COW
cred BY Chairman Morrison's let
ter sent out in June OF July Of
1893. That letter, we believe,
was sent to practically every State
and county Republican commit
teemaa in Idaho and suggested
that Silver Republicans be cordi-
ally invited to participate with the
Republicans in the primary cleo
tons and county conventions,
with a view to representation in
the State convention. The idea
was to give Silver Republicans to
understand that the Republicans
would be glad 10 see the party
reunited, and that as far as they
were concerned there were no
barriers. At that time proinin-
ent Silver Republicans, and some
straight Republicans, thought it
would be a good idea to hold the
two conventions at the same place
and time. This was deemed OBJ
jectionable for several reasons.
For one thing the Republicans
had already fixed the time of
holding their convention and SO
had the Silver Republicans. Now,
if the Republicans had changed
the date of holding their conven-
ton to coincide with the Silver
Republican convention, it would
have looked very much as though
there was a political deal on Of
the fusion brand, especially as it
was arranged that the Silver Re-
publicans and Democrats should
hold contemporaneous conyen-
tons. AS matter of fact it be-
came generally known that some
prominent Silver Republicans
wanted to fix things SO as to have
a club to hold over the Demo-
Gratis. If all three conventions
had met at the same time and
place, the Silver Republicans
would have been in position to
swing in any direction that seem
ed to them most advantageous.
The Republicans were not hunt
ing for any fusion business, or
anything that looked like it, bas-
ed on a distribution of SPOTS or a
compromise of principle. The
paramount issue with them was
to uphold straight Republicanism
from beginning to end, and they
preferred going down TO defeat
to sacrificing any principle. This
is the ground upon which they
now stand; and while there may
be differences among them, they
propose to settle those differences
within their own organization.
They realize that unanimity is
practically impossible; but they
know very well that the chances
for ultimate right are altogether
with the Republican party. We
believe that nine-tenths of the
Republicans of this State would
be glad to have Silver Republi-
cans get back into line and sc
right along from the primaries W
just as though nothing had hap,
pened. We will venture to say
that no Silver Republicans vote

owned the mines they exported the
ore in the rough state to be treated
in Germany and other countries. The
production of the mines in the Verk-
hotursk district amounted last year
to about six tons. This may not seem
large quantity when we consider that
platinum is the heaviest of the met
ais, excepting the still rarer metal,
iridium; but it must be borne in mind
that it can only be compared with
gold in value. The price per ton was
estimated, in connection with the pur-
chase of some of these mines by the
Paris syndicate already referred tU' at
from 100000 to 100000. When it is
considered that no new veins of the
metal have been discovered in Russia
for a long time, and that the present
veins will soon be exhausted, it becomes
evident that the Russians have lost
an important industry, and the only
one which enjoyed a monopoly of the
wcrld's supply.

Archbishop Corrigsn Tells How He
Once Aided a Burglar 10 Reform.

Archbishop Corrigan, speaking at
New York on the possibilities in prison
reform work, related bit of personal
history which had long remained
secret in his own breast.
1t was at a meeting in the home of
Mrs. Westervelt to form plans to aid
Mrs. Foster, the "Tombs angel" in her
work. Archbishop Corrigan took an
active interest in the proceedings, and
after Mrs. Foster had told how her self
imposed task had often been made
lighter by the deeds of those she
helped, he spoke of an experience he
once had with one just out from prison.
