Cnrpctbagisn, I'm Cuba.

It would be well for the Senate and the
country to heed the arraignment of the
imperial carpet bag system by Senate Ba-
con yesterday. incidentally. We may be
excused for saying that 1t would be advisa-
BILE for the Administration to heed it. too.
As the Senator justly argued. we stand
before the world as the unlimited trustee
for the Cuban people of their property and
money There is nothing in our position
as such trustee to warrant us in allow
ing American Army officers to live in vice
regal splendor at the cost of the Cubans.
or to. permit postoffioe employees to fit up
and furnish palaces at the expense Of
the Cubans.
There Is ample reason for Congressional
investigation OF the Crown Colony carpet
bag system both in Cuba and elsewhere.
The country begins to realize what oppor-
tunities for bribery. corruption. loot. and
robbery are presented in the conditions
under which the Administration is admin
istering the affairs of the new American
Territories and Cuba. 1t understands
the character Of the political adventures
who have been sent out to fatten upon
the plumber of the colonies. The exposures
of rottenness in one branch Of the imperial
service, in single island. are not likely
TO be unique. Ugly hints have come over
the Pacific from the Philippines. continu-
ously' and persistently for months. 1t is
said that an inspection of accounts has
been ordered in Porto Rico. We are not
at the end of the carpetbag scandal; We
are only at the beginning.

Mormon History.

One of the queerest expeditions Of mod
ern times is that recently undertaken by
three teachers and twenty students Of the
Brigham Young Academy of Provo, Utah.
They have gone to explore Mexico, Central
= America and South America. in search OF
!. traces of, the Nephites, a people who. ac-
lcording to the Book Of Mormon, came
from Jerusalem to America about 600 B. c.
They intend to give their time mainly to
the southern part of Ecuador, through
which flows the River Marona, an affiuent
Of the Amazon. The name of this river
they consider to be proof that it gets its
name from the angel Moroni, who made
revelations to Joseph Smith. They will
follow as nearly as they can the supposed
path OF the Nephites, and hunt for the
ruins of the Nephite capital, Zarahomla.
1t is not impossible that they will bring
back kodak photographs of whatever they
find in the way of ruins and relics.
The whole Mormon movement is as
curious as anything in American history.
A copy of the Mormon Bible is rare
thing in this part of the country, but any
bibliomaniac who has had the fortune to
get hold Of one will testify that its liter
airy style and alleged historical facts are
alike peculiar. An irreverent journalist
once made the comment that the combina-
ton of Old Testament dicticn and modern,
crude language. was as If one should
write: is'-i
"And Moses said unto the children of Israel,
Great SCOTT, What air you doing:' +"
That intelligent people in this day and
generation should actually believe that
this Bible is divine revelation and that
the history therein recorded is real, is
almost incredible from the point of view
of the average American. That party
Of teachers and students should start out
TO visit the scenes of alleged sacred his
tory of the Book of Mormon seems equally
improbable. But the party has really
gone, and will doubtless come back with
rich spoils.

PORTLAND, Me-. May 16.-The platform

their State Convention this afternoon ar
raigns President McKinleys Administra-
tion In this language:
mo national Administration was ever
more friendly to the liquor interests or
more subservient to the liquor power than
the present Republican Administration.
This Is shown by President McKinley's ap-
pointments,, his fellowship with brewers
and ,dsstillers, his persistent continuance
of tho Army canteen, and his beer .ex-
pansion policy in the Philippines under the
protection of the American flag. A COM
mand from the President would close every
one Of the four hundred saloons in Manila
and send back every beer-laden ship. The
Emperor Napoleon never had more auto
cratic power than has the President in the
Philippines
The platform declares that in Maine the
number of Illegal rum sellers Is constantly
increasing, that rum shops flourish in every
city and town, and reinforcement or
enforcement for revenue only is the set
tied policy Of those in authority. The plat
form, declares against trusts. in favor Of
woman suffrage. and against the fee sys-
tenn in public Office.
The delegates got into a wrangle' over
the choice Of a nominee for Governor. The
Nomination Committee recommended the
choice Of Henry Woodward. an aged
farmer of Winthrop. and the convention
was about to nominate him when a Lewis

REFUSE TO MAKE CHANGES.
Press stockholders OPP

pose the Courts Decision.
CHICAGO. May 1.-THE stockholders
Of the Associated Press at their annual
meeting today came squorely into con-
fiict with the Supreme Court OF Illinois.
The Supreme Court received much the
worst of the encounter. Ever since The de-
cision Of the Illinois Supreme Court in the
case OF the Inter Ocean" against the AS
ISOLATED Press, in which the Illegal
methods Of the Associated. Press were
ordered changed, lit .hasd been generally
supposed that the present Injecting OF the
agency ~ouid result in a
thorough reorganization that would put it
in conformity with the laws Of the State OF
Illinois, under which it was Incorporated.
Carrying out this idea the directors
who were in Office up to today recon-
mended unanimously changes involving
nearly one-third of the bylaws Of the
Associated Press in order that the result
ing set of rules would put the organiza-
tion on lawful footing. The stockholders,
however, refused absolutely to make any
changes in the present methods pursued.
At the afternoon session the report OK
the directors recommending the changes
in the bylaws to conform with the de-
cisicn of the Illinois Supreme Court was
brought up.
The principal alterations recommended
were the striking out Of all clauses in the
bylaws enabling the Associated Press to
declare other press associations or news
papers antagonistic. Incidentally all
rules which restrained the Associated
Press from furnishing its news service to
any newspaper that might apply for it
were to be removed also. Theses changes
conformed to the wording Of the decision
of the Supreme Court, which said that the
Associated Press had become a public in
stitution and occupied the position Of a
common carrier. sgg
The report was signed by Victor Lawson,
William L. Mclean. Frank b. Noyes. Ar
thur Jenkins. Charles w. Knapp. Albert j.
Barr, L. Markbreit. and Clark Howell.
The belief was general before the Eeet-
ing was called to order that the rero.t
would be adopted. and the changes oder d
made But the stockholders showed uaex-
peo:ed fight. Two or three fiery speeches
were made, declaring in effect that tae
Associated Press had right to run its own
business without the interference OF the
Illinois Supreme Court. Then a vote was
taken, and the sentiment. Of the body
proved nearly unanimous against any
change in the bylaws.
The directors and the Chicago papers, ex-
elusive of the "Inter-Ocean," refused to
vote on the question. The Inter Ocean"
and the "Sandusky Register voted for the
change.
After the vote was taken member
rose and asked IL the stockholders OF
company organized under the laws Of the
State of Illinois had any right to have
voice in the making or changing of by
laws He referred to the section of the
Illinois statutes which says:
"And the directors or managers may
adopt laws for the government of officers
and affairs of the company. provided they
are not inconsistent with the laws OF the
State"
The matter was referred to Attorney
John p. Wilson. counsel for the Associated
Press, but he evaded the question.
