JUDGE KING At HOME
Congressman Arrived From
Washington Yesterday.
HIS WORK IN THE HOUSE
REASONS FOR BELIEVING THAT
BRYAN WILL BE ELECTED.


wife reached their salt Lake home from
Washington yesterday afternoon. The
judge comes home feeling well pleased
over the reception he received in the
national capital He says that he was
never treated better in his life, that he
and his wife were accorded the great
est courtesy on all sides, and
the threatened amendment against
polygamy was buried in the judiciary
committee, from where it will never be
resurrected.
Judge King got to Washington so
late in the session that he could do but
little, but he found that the interests
of Utah were looked after in the most
able and efficient manner by Senator
Rawlins, and he accords him uDstinted
praise for his energy and faithfulness.
Among the matters to which the
Judge paid particular attention was the
bill TO relieve the marShalS and clerks
from the $50, 900 in fees collected or re-
mitted by them before statehood the
bill passed the house and senate ana
went to the president. He was Seady
to sign, but his attorney general adj
vised against it. To save veto res
olution was rushed through in the ast
fifteen minutes of congress for a recon-
sideration. The bill was amended to
meet the ObjectiOA of the attorney gen
eral and is now on the table OF the
senate, ready for action next winter.
The Federal Building.
'The bill approDriatfng $1,000 for
the Salt Lake federal building will be
1.-The first one reported when congress
meets next December" Judge King
said; "aiI the members of the commit
tee are in favor of it, and it will go
through without trouble. l saw the
plans, and they are on the scale of q
$500, 900 building. 1t was sidetracked at
this time to make q show of economy
for campaign purposes. The Dill Tor
the Ogden building stands good show
of passing at the same time. l appeared
! before the committee twice and urged
the matter.
The proclamation has been prepared
! for the president to set aside the water
| shed east of this city to protect the salt
Lake water supply, and will be issued
/ in a few days. I saw Commissioner
Herman just before leaving, and he
said he would call it to the attention of
| the president right after the conven-
] ton. Under this plan this watershed
will be converted into a government
reserve, kept up and cared for by the
! government, and viii prove a great
/ blessing to this city"
| Judge King is most sanguine over the
| political outlook, and predicts the Jri-
/ umphant election of Bryan and a DEM
| Ocratic house. His reasons for think
| ing so are:
"The administration surrendered to
! the tobacco and sugar trusts in the
matter of Porto Rico, violated what
/ Mckinley stated to be his plain duty,
and now the island is being despoiled
| under the guise of law.
Cuba Being Pillaged.
Cuba was entered for the purpose OF
pacifying the people; for two years now
| the island has been under military rule,
and all plans are made on the basis of
holding it at least another year. Cuba
/ is held simply for exploitation, and is
/ being pillaged by the pet heelers OF
/ Mark Hanna. The Medley and Rath-
bone exposures give d very slight idea
Of how the people are being plundered
and robbed while the constitution OF
this country is being violated to hold
| them in subsection
I'm the matter Of the South African
war all agree that there should have
been no Intervention, but every indica-
l'tion shows that the sympathy of the
administration is with Great Britain
and against the Beers. Mckinley and
his advisers endorse the English policy
of starving millions in India and de-
stroying republics in South Africa. This
policy will give the Democrats many
German votes.
THE administration has no concep-
ton of the Monroe doctrine. The Hay
Pauncefote treaty recognizes England's
/ right to dictate in Sis-Atlantic affairs
By this treaty Great Britain will par.
ticipate in the control of the cana
built with American money and skill
and the treaty forbids this country tC
fortify for protection or defense. This
and many other things prove that the
administration is playing into the
hands of England and this will gaiI
for the Democrats many Irish votes.
( Vicious Gold Standard Law.
I'm the st. Louis platform the Re
publicans promised to work for inter.
national bimetallism. Instead of thi:
they enacted the most vicious gClC
standard law ever passed. They take
from the government the function OF
issuing money and confer it upon ma.
tiOnal banks, thus forming a money
trust.
President Mckinley has been trying
to control the Philippines by force o.
arms and without warrant of Law
While congress was too cowardly Il
take the matter in hand On the con
trary leading senators made Yne state
ment in congress that the president i:
above and beyond the constitution anC
therefore could not violate it. TIL,
whole course of the administration anC
congress has been in line with imperial
ism, and this viii condemn the Re
publican party in the eyes of the PEG
pie.
1.-The party has been in power tire,
years. Since the enactment of tn,
Dingley law there have been organized
400 trusts with a capital of S,000.000
600. The Democrats introduced many
measures to curb the power of trusts
but every measure was smOthered il
committee. Just on the eve of adjourn
ing, for campaign purposes, a measure
was introduced to amend the consti
tuition. Republicans knew that
could not pass the house or senate ant
if it did it would never be ratified b!
three-fourths of the states.
Was a Republican Trick.
cit was denounced as trick b,
Republican papers; it contained s.
many obnoxious features that n
: patriotic citizen could vote for it. Il
three years there has not been a lin
of legislation against trusts but al
legislation in favor of monopoly ant
criminal conspiracies against trade"
The above are some of the reason
| that Judge King puts forth to shoy
that the Democrats will enter the figh
with a good show for sweeping tn
country Most Germans left home be
cause of imperialism and militarism
They see Mckinley building up a BIZ
army, a big navy and colonies an
while only IS per cent of the German
voted FOR Bryan in 1886 from 10 to Z
per cent will vote for him this year.
Judge King is confident that Bryan
will be elected. Roosevelt. he says,
not popular in New York; he is errati
| and spectacular. Hill and Schley ar
