PLEASING OBSERVATIONS.

1t is pleasing to observe that the
painful agitation of Our Democrat tic
contemporary, the Boise Statesman,
over the Porto Rican Tariff bill has
materially subsidized. And it must
Joy its soul to observe that none of
the demora1izations it so re1igiously
predicted have taken place. You
will remember that its idea was
that every Republican who voted
for that bill was to be summoned
before the bar of an offended con-
stituency and made to render an ac-
count and make restitution. You
will remember that certain Con-
gressmen were represented as crawl
ing upon their bellies before all
outraged public sentiment. You
will remember that not a solitary
one of those Porto Rican destroying
savages were ever again to be al
lowed to disgrace and pollute the
halls of Congress. It is pleasing
to observe that our Democratic
friend S vision was somewhat blurred.
1t is pleasing to observe that things
are moving along smoothly and
placidly in the Republican house
hold. There haven't been any
commissions, instructions or re-
volts, although, the Statesman no
doubt imagined it was leading one
of the most tremendous revolutions
known to the political history oi
the world. It reminds us of the
story about the old man who with
his old musket blazed away for an
hour at a grizzly bear perched in a
near by tree, and afterwards discov'
cred that his grizzly was only {
louise on.his eye lash. 1t is pleas
ing to observe these things.

TRUSTS AND PROTECTION.
Only the Republican Party Can. Be
Relied Upon for a Remedy. ILL.,.

When Democrat is asked how.
he proposes to deal with the trusts
he so vigorously denounces, he
studies for awhile and then answers:
"Cut off the protective tariff
That is exactly the policy pursued
by that eminent but erratic indi-
vidua1 who possessed the famous
goose that laid golden eggs. The
remedy might be efectual, because
if we are to have Democratic free
trade neither the trusts nor any
thing else will flourish. But is it
necessary to destroy the country in
order to regulate something that
will regulate itself after a time?
There is one thing certain money
for investment is plentiful, or it
would not have. gohe. into indus
trials as it has. Democrats claim
that more trusts have been formed
under the administration of McKin-
ley than were formed under both
administrations of Cleveland. ! We
are willing to take their word for
this. There was nothing formed
under the last administration of
Grover Cleveland, except a panic,
and it must be" admitted that this
was one that attracted some atten-
ton from the people of the country.
The reaction from that panic is one
of the causes why industrials have
been SO extensively patronized.'
In that way the Democrats are
partly responsible for trusts. But
we are willing to admit that it was
not until after the Democratic Pres
ident passed away and Republican
policies prevailed that money came
out from its hiding places. and
sought investment; that men began
to form business combinations; that
manufacturing plants were enlarg-
ed; that labor was employed. These
all go together, but many of the;
trusts are merely an abuse Of the
golden period of American prosper
ity that in due time will regulate
itself. There is one thing to be
borne in mind, and that is that if
it becomes necessary to reduce the
tariff rates in order to prevent COM
binations that will hurt the people
the Republican party will do that.
1t is not welded to protection be-
cause it is tenet of the party, but
for the reason that it has been es-
sential to the growth and develop
ment of the people-of the laborlng
people in particular-a1though De-
mocracy has claimed exclusive priv
ileges in that direction. What are
claims when opposed to practical
experience? In the past Democrats
were the ones who favored slave
labor. They went to war to pre-
serve it. In the present they are
in favor of cheap labor by pitting
the labor and skill of the now well
paid American 1aborer against the
poorf y paid labor across the ocean.
1t is impossible that the people can
be deceived far any length of time
as to the drift and tendencies of the
two parties. Peoria IosumaI.,

aulge secret assemblies, rites, grips,
passwords and SO on. The Mont
peher zEErQautne'., which evidently
knows what it is talking about,
publishes the. following: IL.
"The Ma1ad NesVs says the cause
OF the Democrats defeat at Pocatello
arose primarily over. the, burial not
long ago, of a man named Kral1,
who was ola Catholic family and
an Odd Fellow. The latter order
had charge Of the funeral, and Fa-
ther Wander Donckt was to preach
the. funeral sermon. When the
procession reached the church, ac-
cordlng to the Meas, the Odd Eel
lows were refused adnittance un-
less they left offtheir regalia, which
they refused to7do. Then the Neps
adds: #
" The Democratic non-Catholic
members of the order there forever
sWore vengeance against the Cath
Eellc Democrats, and when the day
OF election came round their oppor-
tunity was at hand. Every nomi-
nee on the Democratic ticket was a
Catholic except one, and that one
was the only one of them all who
was elected. This is how it was
that the Republicans won, and un-
less the Catholic priest of that city
is sat down upon the Republicans
will win again, for it is quite sure
thing that no Odd Fellow will ever
again vote for a Catholic nominee
in that municipality, and neither
will they not only vote for one, but
they will exercise their influences
against him every time ,"
Then the Examiner tells us that
Mr.. Abbot, the writer and publish
er of the foregoing, is an Odd Eel
low. Now, the only ofense COM
mitted by the Catholic priest in
connection with the matter was his
refusal to admit into his church
Odd Fellows in regalia, and in SO
doing he simply observed rule of
the Catholic church. He did not
infringe upon any right, moral,
civil or divine of the Odd Fellows;
he offered them no insult or indig-
nifty, but merely announced that it
was contrary to the rules of the
Catholic church to ADMIT into the
services the official representatives
Of a secret order. He invited them
to doff the insignias Of office and
thus technically comply with the
laws OF the Roman church. This
the Odd Fellows refused to do and
thereupon, "the Democratic non,
Catholic members Of the order for
ever swore vengeance against the
Catholic Democrats. " At the
same time, the Odd Fellows profess
that there is nothing in their teach
ings or practices to interfere with g
mans religion; yet, it would seem
that Odd Fellows assume to dictate
the laws and regulations by which
churches shall control their own at
fairs. IF an enemy of the Odd Eel
lows had published the statements
herein referred to, it might have
passed without notice, but; thu
statement is made by prom1nen
member of the order, and made II
such a way as to indicate that tn
action of the>Pocate1lo Odd Fellow

ternity. Is this Odd Fellowship

is WORKING OUT.

Last February THE TRIBUNE ex-
pressed the belief and the hope that
no resolution looking to an amend
ment of the federal constitution
touching the question of polygamy
would be adopted by Congress.
Recent dispatches indicate that the
Corliss resolution providing for an
anti-polygamy amendment has been
laid aside, and therefore it is highly
probable that the subject will be
dropped. THE TRIBUNE has some
knowledge of the conditions which
exist in Utah and southeastern
Idaho and is convinced that poly
gamy is passing away as rapidly as
circumstances will permit. Now
and again things will happen which
have suspicious appearance, but
how could it be otherwise? Hun
dred of polygamous marriages were,
in years gone by, contracted in
obedience to deep religious convic=
tions; family ties and associations
grew out of those marriages which
could not be suddenly and complete
ly sundered. A revolution in reli-
gious faith and practice is not con-
summated in year, or ten years,
especially when involves an infrac-
ton of natural laws, passions and
affections. It is enough to know
that the unfortunate practice is
passing away; that the problem is
resolving itself. It is working out.
An amendment to the constitution
at this time is uncalled for. 1t
would be useless slap at the State
of Utah indicating a degree of
treachery and perversity which does
not exist. 1t would amount to an
impeachment of the Mormon church
and the Mormon people and di-
rect charge that the Woodruff man
ifesto and President Snow reahrm-
alton of it were lies and subterfuges.
There is*no occasion for. this sort of
thing. The Mormons are abandon
ing polygamy in good faith; the
practice is rapidly passing out of
existence and will soon be only
memory. But it must die natural
ly according to the laws which con-
troll in human affairs. 1t is no
doubt true that in many instances
polygamous relations contracted
long ago are, still maintained,' but
why not look at the matter honestly
and candidly. There are passions
at the root of the most exalted loves
which are not destroyed by, civil
: laws and constitutions, and when
sanctifed by religious belief. such
! as the Mormons have long cherished
their qualification cannot be sud
denly interrupted by statute. II
the solution of this question certain
facts in human nature must be
: reckoned with, and to ignore them
