A TENDER SPOT.

Representative Olmstead of Penn
sylvania touched tender spot on
the Democratic anatomy last Thurs
day. He introduced a resolution
relating to the abridgment of the
right to vote in a number of South
ern States. The Constitution of
the United States says: ~-
Representatives shall be appor-
toned among the several States ac-
cording to their respective num-
bers, counting the whole number of
persons in each State, excluding
Indians not taxed. But when the
right to vote at any election" for the
choice of electors for President and
Vice-President of the United States,
Representatives in Congress, the
executive and judicial officers of a
State, or the members of the Legis-
lature thereof, is denied to any of
the male inhabitants of such State,
being twenty one years of age, and
citizens Of the United States, or in
any way abridged, except for par
ticipation in rebellion, OF. other
crime, the basis of representation
therein shall be reduced in the pro-
portion which the number of such
male citizens shall bear to the
whole number of male citizens
twenty-one years of age in such
State. %
Democrats do not deny that the
right to vote has been very consid-
erably abridged in many Southern
States, but they hope to escape the

PRESIDENT SHOWS GREETING

On New Year day the Mormons
Of Salt Lake City held public ser
vices, being the first public cere-
monies ever held by the Mormon
church on such holidays. The SER
vices were held in the great Taber-
nacle which was filled with people
of various religious denominations.
rhe feature Of the occasion was an
address of greeting by President
Lorenzo Snow, which was read by
his son, lie Roy. President Shows
greeting is full of broad syrnpathies
and wise admonition. After refer
ring to the momentous and marvel
GUS events of the past century, a
powerful appeal is made to the ma
tons of the earth to disband armies,
turn weapons of strife into imple-
ments of industry, and settle differ
ences by arbitration. Portions of
the address, are particularly strik-
ing in precept and energy of ex-
preston. For example,:
eye toiling millions who, in the
sweat of your faces earn your daily
bread, look up and greet the power
from above which shall lift you
from bondage! The day of your
redemption draweth nigh. Cease
to waste your wages III that which
keeps you in want. Regard not
wealth as your enemy and your en-
ployers as your oppressors. Seek
for the union of capital and labor.
Be provident when in prosperity.
Do not become prey to designing
men who seek to stir up strife for
their own selfish ends. Strive for
your rights by lawful means, and
desist from violence and destruc-
ton. Anarchism and 1awlessness
are your deadly foes. Dissipation
and vice are chains that bind you
to slavery. Freedom is coming for
you, its light approaches as the
century dawns.
Men and women of wealth, use
your riches to give employment to
the laborerl Take the idle from
the crowded centers of population
and place them on the untitled
areas that await the hand of indus
try. Unlock your vaults, unloose
your purses, and embark in enter
prises that will give work to the
unemployed, and relieve the wretch
edress that leads to the vice and
crime which curse your great cities,
and that poison the moral atmos-
phere around you. Make others
happy, and you will be happy
yourselves"
The concluding passage is very
impressive and in its language re-
fleets the soul of piety and benevo-
lence:
In the eighty-seveuth year of
MY age on earth, l feel full of earn
est desire for the benefit of human
ity. I wish all a happy New Year.
l hope and look for grand events to

such a measure would be extreme

ulation of wealth by industry and

THE METAPHoRIOAL ART.

A pugnacious contemporary, with
esurient tinge, quite human; in
deed, none other than the Pocatello
Ad0amce, q disseminator of distilled
Democracy, philosophizing on the
contemplated establishment of a
daily Democratic trombone at Boise,
irreverently observes:
"The State committee has pur-
sued the policy of ignoring the
State of Idaho except as represented
by the wayback boundaries of Boise
only and now they propose to step
over the boundaries of the desert
around Boise, which is designated
on the map as "Idaho," and Dor
row a pair of unknown webfeet
from Oregon and make them
present of some $4,000 of good
Democratic cash, to establish a
daily organ with which the praise
Of the great political moguls, who
reside in Boise only, may be sung
and the State patronage shall pay
for the singing. This is matter
of little moment to the Democratic
press of the State of Idaho, other
wise called the desert outside of
Boise, for they have never received
enough from the committee to keep
pissant's backbone from scratch
ing its belly"
The concluding metaphor, trope,
allegory or personidcation, what
ever its rhetorical designation may
be, is truly Shakesperian in its bold
abandonment and rugged strength.
The energy of the figure lies in the
prefix to "ant's" and the employ
ment of plain Anglo-saxon for alb
domen. Had the AGvance writer
been a diletamtte he would have de-
stroyed the force of expression by
an ahectation of prudishness, and,
probably, delivered himself in some
such fatulent style as this: They
have never received enough from
the committee to prevent an ants
spinal column from impinging ON
its abdominal cavity. But the AG-
VGnce writer is a counoiSSeuY. He
would sacrifice nothing of virility
for a squeamish elegance of style.
But we are at a loss to know why
he should deliberately assume the
character of an ant with such an
indicate prefix. He clearly does
himself violent injustice, and
should, at least, credit himself with
the proportions and graces of a
weasel. But why should the Dem
ocratic State committee engage in
supplying inmodest ants with ma
terial for preventing their back
bones from irritating their abdo-
mens1 Assuredly that august body
has more urgent and weighty bust
ness on hand. There are loyal and
enthusiastic disciples of reform.-bi-
peds without offensive prefxes-
whose physical antipodes are con-
verging to the point of collision.
They must be supplied with ample
buffers even though the backbones
of all the ants in creation, by ur.
mitigated friction, wear through
abdominal epidermis and project
into space in CHASTITY whiteness.
However, we congratulate the Id
Vance writer on the originality. per-
spicacity and audacity of his figure.
1t imparts an incandescent glow to
a somewhat fuliginous subject, and
though slightly wanting in chastity
and elegance is rich in democratic
virility.

held at Ellis Island. NewYork, on July will be
"How should the government deal with immigrants
afflicted with tuberculosis of the hip. stomach knee
and In various other forms?" The effect OF the
first meeting of the immigration officials in
broad sense has been TO draw the Marine Hospital
Service closer TO the immigration system. following
the tendency In this direction which has been no
ticeable in the last three four years. Before
that time robust immigrants were freely admitted
because il thought that such persons

though this Is still said to be true. in a measure,

RESPITE FOR GAMBLERS.
FIFTEEN WILL NOW TURN ITS GUNS IN
NEW DIRECTION

The Committee of Fifteen has decided to
change it's tactics somewhat and instead Of
directing most of it's energies against the
gamblers will It's attention mainly
70 what II considers more fragrant evil-police
toleration OF disorderly in tenement
houses. This has given rise 10 reports of fric-
ton in the committee. and some of the runor
mOngers have gone so far as to assert that the
committee was about 10 abandon It's work alto
gether. Others declared that the committee was
short of funds and that Jacob H Schin and
some others had refused any further subscrip-
tions unless the committee cut loose from Jus
tice Jerome and his sensational raiding methods.
Chairman Baldwin emphaticaIIy denied all
these rumors yesterday and outlined the new
plans of the committee when he said:
The question of the committee discontinuine,
work has never been broached at any meeting
nor is there-as far as 1 know-any such inten-
tiou the part IF any of its members.
LAS TO the statement regarding differences be-
tween the members in regard to our work. there
has never been the slightest difference of opinion
expressed at any of our meetings. either gen.
eraI or in committee. We have always been
unanimous both in regard TO methods and policy.
There has been lack of funds up to the
present date And we have ample funds now
for the carrying out of any necessary work"
Mr. Baldwin said that while the appeal re-

funds did not bring the whole of that amount
there had been a generous response, while
pledges had been received from persons fnan-
cially responsible TO make up any deficiency II
