Session of Last Evening.
At the last evening session Dr. William
Frear, chairman of the executive commit
tee. presented report showing what had
been done and referring to the widespread
interest that has been aroused In the pure
food legislation pending in Congress. Rem
resentatives Cochran of Missouri and H.
c. Smith of Michigan made addresses in
favor of pure food legislation.
The report of the credentials committee
showed 25S delegates present, represents
ing thfrty-one states. After the appoint
ment of a number of committees the CON
gress adjourned until tomorrow.
During the course of his speech Mr..
Cochran said THE time has now come
when some action is imperative In ST.
IBERIA and India We have formidable rivals
Tor the breadstun markets of the world.

the label American stands for hest
There must be no adu.teration and M
fraud in the goods we have to sell anS
unless it is understood that there Is not
our prestige and our producers will sI,f

food reformer is that he wants everybodv
inspected and branded except himself. Yoi,
must understand that when Congress
passes pure food law all persons will be
treated alike"

A much longer list might be made,
containing other articles on which the
protective tariff enables ''trusts" to tax
the American people in the same way.
The above were selected as fair examples
of great Importance because they enter
largely into our industries and greatly
increase the cost of production. Some
of them are exported and sold abroad at
the foreign price, while u people pay
extra. "Of course they do" said one
manufacturer, "what else is a protective
tariff for?"
If the promises of party leaders who
imposed the protective duties are to be
honored, then protection upon the above
articles and on many others like them
must be removed.

The church of
Latter Day Saints
THE MORMONS.


HE Latter Day Saints
is said to have found the year just closed
it's banner year, having acquired no less
than sixty thousand new adherents, an
increase of twenty per cent and there
are editors, of the careful and troubled
class, who see in this fact a portent of
g%rievous calamity to the nation.
THE CONSERVATIVE, however, sees
nothing more alarming in it than the
prospect Of a rapid further occupation
of the semi-arid region by an industrious
and bly-directed class of settlers and
is of opinion, moreover, that any organ
i~zation, religious or otherwise, that were
in position to offer to the needy of older
communities material aid toward the
acquisition of a farm, with the personal
attention of a strong and capable bishop,
would speedily be able to show just as
miraculous a growth.
If the Mormons are bad citizens or bad
neighbors, it must be by reason either of

is no less a good man, whether he hold
a greater or less number of books con
corning the Jews to be divinely inspired.
And it may be doubted whether succeed
ing generations of public-school Nor
mons will retain their fathers beliefs,
as to the goings-on of certain translated
C%anaanites in North America in pre-
Columbian times. The early Mormons,
at least, were not drawn from the best
educated classes. President Brigham
Young VIGOROUSLY avowed the material
granted him to be remarkably crude and
unpromising in appearance. To have
made what he did out of them is what
proves him a great American and a
great man.
Still it is certainly their religion that
causes them to be looked upon so gener-
ally with suspicion and disfavor, and
not alone because it is popularity supposed
to consist mainly in the practice of
polygamy. Our people are somewhat
intolerant Of novelties in religion, though
we might have learned through ex-
perience that letting them alone is the
most effective treatment. AS soon as
our fathers ceased to burn the witches,
no more witches were found among
them. When they consented to the co.
existence of the pestilent Quakers, the
latter speedily lapsed into innocuous
d%esuetude. And we ourselves, as soon
as we stopped throwing stones at the
Salvation Army, did not the reverbera-
ton of it's bass drum die away in our
streets?
AS to the holding of a plurality of
wives, the attitude of the Mormon
church toward this practice is, it is true,
shrouded in mystery. But while the
thing has existed, there is little room for
doubt that it must die out. We are q
Germanic people, after all, Mormons
included, and polygamy is not in our
blood, for the reason that it never was.
One man to one woman is the plan by
which the Creator has evolved the
English speaking race, and it does not
seem likely that we will soon depart
from it.
The confusion of these peoples domes-
tic eccentricities with religion is what
has caused the mischief, for try to
dictate to a man of our stock on what
he considers his religion, and you have
an intractable subject on your hands at
once. To call polygamy religion, how.
ever, is little short of the ridiculous. It
reminds n of a certain highly. cultured
foreigner who nee dwelt in an eastern
town, who allowed it to be understood
that religious persecution was respon'
sible for his absence from his native
land. But to a friend he once confideG
hat he had left IL in c~onsenuanca nj

MIR. MORTON'S LECTURE.

MIX. MORTON'S
The lecture delivered at the opera
house on Friday evening by J. Sterling
Morton upon the beginnings of a
State" was the rarest gem yet COZ
tributed to the history of Nebraska.
The lecture was given as the closing
one of the literary course, and was given
respectful attention by a very large and
a%ppreciative audience.
Mr.. Morton commenced at the birth
of Jefferson, the Louisiana purchase,
and the legislation that led to the for
nation of Nebraska territory, and gave
an interesting and graphic description
of the characters who first settled Ne
braska, and who started it upon it's era
of future development.
He gave a sketch of the first governor
and officers, of the election of the first
territorial council and the laws that
were made, and the peculiarities of the
men comprising the population at the
time.
1t would be an injustice to attempt to
review the lecture. 1t must be heard to
be appreciated. Mr. Morton is recognized
as an able orator, and no one is so well
equipped to speak upon the beginnings
of this state as he who was here among
the first and has been actively engaged
in making the history of Nebraska, for
nearly half a century.-Gage County
Democrat.
That J. Sterling Morton so far forgot
the restraints of good breeding as to in
troduce politics into his ''lecture" to a
promiscuous public audience, is not at
all surprising. AS an educated crank,
J. Sterling stands preeminent. He a
evolve more vagaries out of a political
proposition than any man alive and Gan
juggle the English language to perfec-
tion.-Beatrice News.
During the stay Of j. Sterling Morton
in the city last week, a number of old
settlers, J. B. Weston, Nathan Blakely,
H. J. Dobbs, the editor of the Democrat,
and others, formed a little circle with
him and there wal more early history
reviewed than would make a volume.
There is nothing that the ! d-timers so
much enjoy as meeting and talking over
traditional history of the territory. The
men in that group had all resided in
Nebraska for over 40 years and had seen
the sparsely settled river counties of a
territory spread out and become a great
agricultural and stock state, with posi-
bilities equal to any in the Union
