MORMONS ALARM CANADA.
May Control Parts of the
Dominion.

Some people in Canada are becoming
seriously alarmed at the rapid spread
of Mormonism in parts of the Domin.
ion, especially in the northwest. The
Mormons themselves assert that within
the last year they have brought in
more than 1900 emigrants from Utah
alone. If this movement is continued.
says the New York Sun, Canadian pub.
lie men fear that the Mormons will
shortly control large districts of the
country. AS the bulk of the people
in southern Alberta have come from
Utah, and as the Mormons have thor.
ough organization, 1t is dawning upon
the country that they may become a
serious menace to the state, especially
as there is suspicion that polygamy
is practiced secretly by them. Some
of the elders in Alberta assert that
polygamy is one of the chief privileges
of the communion, and it is stated that
in some cases the privilege has been
he'd out as a bait to attract converts.
Consequently the attention of the gov
eminent of the Dominion is being
called to these Mormon colonies.
Outside of Alberta and the other
northwest provinces of Canada, the
Mormons say they have no less than
10000 members in the province of
Ontario. The Mormon missionaries en-
deavor to obtain a footing in new CEN
tiers by keeping the peculiar doctrines
of the Mormon church very much in the
background until they gain the con-
fidence of their converts. They use
every effort in their power to proselyt-
ize. They keep a close watch over their
young people, especially those who go
away from home. Some of the girls in
the northwest go into towns of south
ern Alberta and get employment, but
they are not allowed to stay very long.
The church sends for them to come
home again, lest the influences of Chris
tian teaching should ALLEVIATE them
from their own faith.
In the Canadian northwest the Nor
mons are following the same course of
communism and segregation which has
made them a power in Utah. About
ten years ago small body of them
formed a settlement on Lees creek,
about so miles from Lethbridge and As
miles from Mcleod. From that small
beginning has grown the Large and
thriving community known as ''the
state of Zion in Alberta of the Church
of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints"
Just as in Utah they have their town
sites with central church and dance
hall, surrounding wards, church coun-
Gil, local bishops, elders, high coun-
ellis, etc. They are already accumulat-
ing considerable wealth, are doing all
in their power to get rid of all their
Gentle neighbors, are carrying on a
most active propaganda and are send
ing out missionaries to all parts of the
country.
AS an instance of what an enterpris-
ing corporation the Mormon church in
Canada is, it may be mentioned that
when recently a ditch 80 miles long
had to be dug for irrigation purposes
for the Alberta Irrigation company, the
Mormon church took the contract for
digging it and offered to take pay in
land. So much attention is attracted
to the matter by the phenomenal in
crease of these people that, according
to the politicians, the federal authori-
ties will have to take some action.

Sorting HOGS, BristIcs.

An example of patient industry is
the sorting of hogs bristles as it is
carried on at Tien-Tsin, China. Each
bristle of 600 kilograms exported
from that place in 1898 had to be picked
out, measured and placed in the bundle
of hairs Of corresponding length; and
the different lengths by which the hairs
are sorted are numerous.

A GIFTED DEMOCRAT

At the head of our editorial page
IS the announcement Of Col. a.
w. Hamilton for State Senator
for Clark, Bourbon and Mo t
gomerv counties, composing the
18th Senatorial district of Ken
lucky. As said in former an
nouncements we shall urge the
nomination of only our best ma
terial. This announcement in the
ADvocATE carries with it without
saying the unerring impression
that Col. Hamilton is Democrat
not a Democrat by name only but
were he catechised every answer
would be correct with a good rea-
son appended thereto. When
the money question i'm 1890 was
stirring men to their very depths
Col. Hamilton announced with MS
party the insuficiency Of gold as
basal money and stood firm back
ed by convincing arguments and
authoritative citations for the two
metals, and today he is abundant
" able to show by illustration OF
recent events and circumstances
that the party was right in its
creed. A close student, with &C
cess to one Of ifnot, the very best
libraries Of the State, Col. Hamil-
ton is well posted on all subjects.
gifted in arriving at just conclu-
sions, wonderful memory and
close observation it is with pre-
cision that he calculates cquita-
BILE enactments for the best inter
ests Of the masses. A farmer,
he is in touch with the interests
Of Drawn and brain, and would
save them as much as it is with
in State. enactments to do, from
the greed OF the money powers.
Col. Hamilton has ever answered
to his party with his money, his
talents, his time and notwith-
standing he has given much in
this way he asks this honor be-
cause of his love for the toll
ing oppressed, because Of per
sonal merit and not on account
of past labor.

the Democratic party consists Oh
moral men, Industrious men, men
who are Democrats through and

these are the men who merit our

DEMOCRATS!

When we use the term Demo
Gratis we apply it to all Democrats,
regular or irregular, and to them
we address ourselves to-day.
We are on the eve Of a contest
in our own family. We want to
contend as it becomes honorable
men to represent great party,
and our dealings must be such
that the race may be given to the
men who are the choice of the
voters. This can be done, it
must be done. Candidates should
realize that where there are
more than one vieing for the same
office that defeat is inevitable to
some one, and having gone down
before his own party. duty re-
quires that he sees that every man
who supported him lines up
