the South haters and critics, who thankel
God that they were not as other men.
Even the Commercial Tribune OF Gin

admits that;

as the advocate or defender of polygamy.
1t had been conceded by Luther, to
whom more than any other man the peo-
pie Of to-day owe whatever Of religious
and civil liberty they possess, that polyg-
amy was not prohibited by the scriptures,
and that it was crime merely because
it was prohibited by law. The people who
believed and practiced polygamy, he said,
did so as part Of their religion, which
they believed came to them direct from
God. In that view they had not at hrst
submitted to the laws against it, hoping
for a favorable judgment by the court,
and when that failed, for a reversal. But
the reversal did not come. Thirteen hum

An Artistic Screen.

An impecunious maiden with artistic
tendencies recently found herself in
need Of a screen to hide the badness of
the necessary washstand, the one dis
turbing element in an otherwise dainty
room, says the New York Herald. A
friend gave her a Japanese screen OF
dilapidated antiquity, adding that she
could recover it and it would then be az
good as new.
After pricing the pretty things in
tapestry and oriental drapery our in
genious maiden decided she must man
ufacture something herself. She invest
ed in heavy cartridge paper of dark
gray tone, which she carefully pasted
on one side Of the screen. Across the
bottom she made an artistic scroll de
sign in sepia, and then sat herself down
to wait for visitors in the artistic and
decorative line, Of which she had many.
Her first caller was youth whose
drawings have enlivened the pages of
many daily journal. To him she ex-
planned her predicament, and he good
naturally produced the ubiquitous bit
of crayon and sketched in one of his
popular cartoons. Other friends soon
came to her assistance, and at the end
of a week the screen was finished, COM
pletely covered with autograph sketch
es. all of considerable artistic merit and
many Of no little intrinsic value as well.

not have suffered" he went on, ''if they
had but said the word"
The laws against plural marriages did
not obtain in the States surrounding
Utah, so that many plural wives had been
sent into them, the husbands remaining
in Utah and there observing the law
against plural marriages Roberts said
it was a mistake to hold that he was
the representative of the Mormon church,
chosen over the protest of the gentle citi-
zens. He had been elected after thor
ough canvass, in which the people knew
all about him, by plurality Of $685..
The right of a constituency to the free
choice of it's representative ought not be
denied or abridged by the action of the
House.
In conclusion Roberts said he could
neither be excluded nor expelled without
dangerous action-action that threatened
to overthrow the foundation of Govern
ment. And | intend, gentlemen he
continued, his voice rising to it's highest
pitch, and his whole manner intense and
dramatic to. the last degree, striding up
and down the aisle, ito cling so closely
to the pillars Of liberty that you shall not
drag me away unless you pull the pillars
down with me-
The House resumed the debate on the
Roberts case at II o'clock Wednesday,
The galleries were again well filed, most
OF the occupants, as on Tuesday, being
women. Mr.. Powers (Vt.) was the first
speaker. He argued in behalf of exclu-
sion Of Mr.. Roberts. The contention Of
the minority for expulsion, he said, ran
up against the very precedents which
were cited in its support. 1--WE are not
separating wife from husband" said Mr..
Powers, commenting on Mr.. Roberts
speech. "Polygamy has never been legal
In Utah, either before or after her adj
mission into the Union. Polygamy was
Illegal under the common law of Eng
land. The moment he took wife No. 2
thei marriage was void. Mr.. Roberts
knew the law. He cannot now plead the
baby act against the law and stern JUS
tice.'
Mr.. Snodgrass Of Tennessee followed
Mr.. Powers, supporting the views Of the
minority in favor of seating and then
expelling Mr.. Roberts. Mr.. Lands lind. J
argued that Utah had violated her com
pact with the United States. Mr.. Lands
went over the record Of the apostles of
the Mormon Church to show that most

amous practices. Some Of his statements
