Two Deaths at Fruita.

Two deaths are reported from Fruita
today. One is that Of Miss Ida Weckel,
aged about eighteen years, residing with
her mother about two and half miles
from Fruita below the big Salt Wash.
Her death was due to psritonitis.
The other death was that OF MRS.
Adaline Sherrod, we'll known throughout
the county. She died from paralysis.
The deceased was about seventy-five
years OF age.
The Sherrod family came to this state
from Texas about ten years ago and
has lived near Fruita ever since. At
one time the dece ased was quite wealthy.
She is the mother of number Of chill
dren. One OF tho children is John
Sherrod we'll known at Fruita. DR..
Sherrod formerly resided with his
mother. No arrangements for the fu-
neral OF either had been made at late
hour this afternoon.

Goodwin, the great editor Of the
Salt Lake Tribune, in the election
of Kearns to the United States SEN
ate, is receiving measure for meas
ure from the Mormon church.
Goodwin is great, but he is not
consistent. 1t was matter upon
which he congratulated the Mor>
mon church when the nefarious
sale OF the state to the Mckinley
party was consumated last fall. He
had no kick against the church
authorities then at what they had
done. Now he fumes, frets and
threatens at the sale which that
church body has made to Thomas
Kearns. 1t is fact that Kearns is
untitled for the place, but because
the Mormon church sold the place
to the highest bidder should not
displease Mr.. Goodwin. The
church sold the state for a pot Of
promises last fall to the party to
which Mr.. Goodwin belongs and Of
which he is practically the leader.
All men agree that the high office
of senator should not be prostitu>
ted to matter Of dollars and cents.
Goodwin kicks at being represen-
ted by Kearns bnt says nothing
against the fact that the state OF
Pennsylvania is being represented
by boodler who has been arrested
OH the charge OF diverting a part OF
the finances of that state, and who
stands convicted before the people
of Pennsylvania as the most notor-
ious OF a gang of freebooters who
have run the politics Of that state
without any regard for decency.
Goodwin will have to look to all
sides of the question before he rants
SO loudly. He was willing to ac-
cept Matt Quay, but for his own
state he does not want a mere pur-
chaser Of the seat as representa-
tive.

OUR DEMOCRATIC GOVERNOR

lanes B. Orman has been COVER
nor Of Colorado for several days.
He is democrat elected by demo>
Gratis, but we shall differ from the
avrrage political sheet and claim
Mr.. Orman as our governor. He
is the governor of Colorado and
we, as republicans. are a big part OF
this common wealth; 1--WE hope to
be greater part in years to come
than we have been recently.
Governor Orman bids fair to
give us good administration. He
differs from some of his predeces>
sors in that he can not be accused
OF being a political sinister. He has
been too busy all his life to take
much part in politics. He is not a
lawyer so he will not be appoints
ing judges with view of practic>
ing before them. He is not, it is
said, candidate for the senators
ship, so will not disgrace his ad-
ministration by making every of
fetal act part of a deal for his po>
litical advancement.
As we know Governor Orman
in Canon, he is plain, conscien
tious business man, and we hope
he will give us good honest
business administration. That's
what Colorado needs, and if we
cannot have it from a republican
the next best thingis to have good
democratic governor. Until the
next campaign let us hope we have
one.-Canon City Record.

tirely satisfactory that it is proposed
to offer'them again this season for

THE UTAH CASE.

The Mormon church, or perhaps
more properly, its leading officials,
are calling down upon themselves
the wrath Of both politicol parties.
In the late presidential campaign it
was charged that the church digni-
taries sold the state to Mckinley.
1t is now charged that they have
influenced a republican senatorial
caucus and sold the senatorship to
Thomas Kearns. Thus both the
democratic and republican parties
have an indictment against the
church officials, and from all the
facts that the News can obtain,
both are justified in presenting the
same for trial at the bar OF public
opinion.
The organization OF the Mormon
church gives to its leaders peculiar
power over the membership. This
can be exercised in a manner that
violates no statute, but is fragrant
violation Of the principles of free
institutions. A church bishop has
only to say: "You can all vote as
you please, but shall vote for
so>and>so," and 80 per cent. of his
church members will vote the same
way. 1t is in this manner that
Utah is swung from one political
party to another, and how to reach
it. by law, is a question that has
long puzzled many minds. The
almost certain result Of this condi-
ton OF affairs will be that Utah
parties will reorganize on old Gems
tile and church lines,. such as exis-
ted prior to statehood. Neither
democratic or republican parties
care to submit to any such uncer>
tain church domination and will
unite to stamp it out. Leaders OF
no other denomination or church
organization use their influence in
this manner. What would be said
if the bishops and other dignitaries
of the Catholic, Episcopal or Meth>
odist churches attempted to play
such role in the nation at large ?
The idea is monstrous. Evidently
Utah needs an infusion OF gentle
immigration SO large that the Mor>
mon church will be placed in a
hopeless minority.-Rocky Noun

The hftr-seventh congress convened a,
noon yesterday. This congress is the mos,
largely republican i'll some years, and i,
is not probable that on party question
the democrats will be able to accomplish,
anything whatever.
The Presidents message will be sent in
today. There seems to be good deal OF
speculation as to whether friendly rela-
tlons will be maintained between Roose-
welt and congress, as was the case during
President McKinley's administration, or
whether they will continually war as was
the case i'll Cleveland's administration A
good deal depends upon this, and the
democrats may be able to make some
small capital out Of the matter, if they
get the President in one of his strenuous
moods.
However, we shall soon see what we
shall see. One thing is certain, there
Will be some speech making.
