Representative Hamilton, of
Mich, who has just returned from
Cuba, said of his observations while
on the island II am of the opinion
that the Platt amendments will ulti-
mately be accepted by the Cubans,
and that there will be no trouble be-
tween Cuba and the U. S. There is
no mistaking the feeling of the peo.
pie, however, for independence.
Their hearts are set on it and you
hear it talked everywhere. If diff
culties arise it will he because the
people are easily influenced by their
leaders, and small factions or partie,
can attract large followings of i'm.
pulsive, lmpetuous people if the
right man is at the head. | think
the people can be convinced in timo
that the Platt amendments do not
hamper their independence and that
cur declarations therein contained
are only in line with the Monroe
doctrine, as understood by all the
world"

1HE SALE oE LIQUORS.

Unseemly conduct and drunken
ness is becoming quite the habit with
a certain class Of people who fire.
quently come to town, This will
eventuate in trouble for them. The
fracas last Saturday night was dis
graceful and the principals ana
abettors should be taught a lesson.
The hotel keepers also would do well
to read carefully the provisions Of
the act under which they hold their
licenses. The citizens of the town
are patient and long suffering but
there is limit to their forbearance
and when they move there will be
abundant evidence to satisfy the
court as to their fitness to be entrust-
ed with the sale of dangerous liquids.
Hotels are not licensed for the sale
of liquors simply for all the money
there is in it. The act distinctly
says it is to restrain the sale, and
when it is established that the licen-
see has violated the law, the court
must revoke the license it has no
discretion. One violation is selling
to a drunken man, another is selling
to a MINOR, and another selling on
Sunday. Those who handle the
stuff should be careful that they do
not recklessly transgress the strin-
gent provisions of the act of assem-
bly,. They may do so with impun-
ity for time but the day of reckon
ing is almost sure to come when
they will find that the gain they
made is in no wise commensurate
with the cost which will follow.

Gated the locality where all the condi-
after long investigation has indi-
tons combined to make the work most
needed and fraught with the greatest
usefulness to the community as
whole. There should be no extrava-
gence, and the believers in the need OF
irrigation will most benefit their cause
that it is free from the least faint or
reckless use of the public moneys.
Whoever controls these streams pra-
ctically controls the land it renders
productive, and the doctrine OF private
Ownership OF the water apart from the
lands cannot prevail without causing
enduring wrong The recognition Of
such ownership, which has been per
mitted to grow up in the arid region,
should give way to a more enlightened
and larger recognition OF the rights
OF the public in the control and dis.
posal Of the public water supplies
Laws founded upon these traditions
obtaining in humid regions. where wa.
ter is too abundant to justify hoart
ing It, have no proper application t. ;

In the arid states the only right t.
water which should be recognized i

attach to the land reclaimed and be in
Iscparable therefrom. Granting pe-pe.

to giving away perpetual franchises t
the public utilities OF cities A few c

ognized this. and have incorporated i

THE MORMON FAITH.
POlgamy Still Is Its Keynote and
Strongest Hold.
20 Says DIR. Sarah Elicit Who Il
About to Make a Tour for the Pur-
pose of Spreading Anti-POIyg-
any Propaganda.

DR.. Sarah J. Elliott, of Utah, is
about to make a tour of Colorado for
the purpose of spreading an anti
polygamy propaganda. She is a
deaconess of the Episcopal church,
and is lecturing for the league that is
urging a constitutional amendment to
prohibit pOlygamy.
Two thousand Mormon elder
priests" said DR.. Elliott to a New
York World correspondent, "are now
IN every state and territory of the
union, seeking by misrepresenting
the actual conditions and teachings of
the Mormon faith to create outside of
Utah public sentiment more advan-
tageous to the system than it could
possibly secure if the whole truth
were known. In view of these and
many similar facts, | am appealing to
the patriotic women of our country
who successfully labored to prevent
a pOlygamist from entering congress.
IN Utah there is no separation of
church and state. The church of the
Latter Day Saints, or the Mormon
church, is so magnifcently organized
they are prepared to work anywhere.
The subject of pOlygamy is never men
toned in the missionary work of the
elders, who are sent out all over the
world to make converts; but when the
women and girls are landed in Salt
Lake they are informed that only
through marriage can their souls be
saved, and blindly they walk into the
trap. In every other state polygamy
is a degradation, while in Utah it is
an exaltation. The Mormon's system
of ethics has produced abnormal
women.
"A premium of 100 acres of land is
offered as an inducement TO women
and young girls TO leave their homes
and country and settle in Utah; in

THE PARSONS TALE
A Fish Story Which Is True In

Every Lover of Romance VIII Take
"A Singular Interest in the Simple
Narrative of This Truly
/ Truthful Man.

The minister's daughter was enter.
tanning a few girl friends at the par.
sonage the other evening, and after the
latest biz of gossip had been discussed
over dainty cups OF the oriental bev.
erage the father of the hostess, says
the Chicago Daily News, was unaa.
imously elected TO entertain them with
q story.
Some one has said, began the good
man, THAT the unexpected always hap
pens; and as a fish story is about the
last a parson would be expected TO re
late, 1 viii endcavor 10 entertain you
with one, the truth of which l car
Vouch for.
1t was one summer evening in the
gathering twilight" said he, while
standing on a rustic bridge which
spanned a famous trout spring neaI
her fathers house, that l won from
the girl l had long loved the promise
10 be my wife. She was just the least
bit inclined 70 fiirt and l had a rival
in the field; so, to make the affair more
binding, I drew from her hand ring
which she had Oftsn declared she would
only give 10 her betrothed lover ano
transferred it TO my own finger.
'''It was my mothers engagement

in earnest, and there is a bit of super.
stitiOn connected with il. So long as

buJ if You lose it or part with il in
any way the engagement is broken. So
as you value my love, take good care
Of it.
"A week later she went away on a
visit, and then my only consolation was
to haunt that favorite spot on the
bridge which had been our trystinE
place. Once while leaning over the rail-
ing and thinking of our engagement ]
took from my finger the treasured ring
and gazed fondly on the initials-hers
