ANOTHER UTAH SCANDAL MANY OVERDUE VESSELS
CLAIM MADE THAT MORMONS
JOBBED SENATORsHIP.
salt Lake Tribune Says Kearns Pur-
chased Seat From Head of Church of
Latter Day Saints.

SALT LAKE CUtah), January 2S-
Thomas Kearns, who was nominated by
the Republican caucus last night for
United states Senator, was today
elected Senator. OF this action the
Salt Lake Tribune says:
THE Republicans of Utah who be-
lieve in decency personal honor and
American manhood, who have a high
respect for the exalted office of United
States Senator, and who believe the at
tainment of that office should be an
honor, desire to make clear to the coun-
try the fact that a Senatorship from
Utah has been purchased, and pur-
chased directly from the head of the
Mormon church,
"They desire to announce to the peo-
pie of Utah and the United States that
the president of the Mormon church,
who has, since he has held his high
office, repeatedly announced that
church and state in Utah shall hence
forth be separated could not resist the
first substantial material offer made
him to unload some unproductive pro-
perty, even if i'm so doing he had to eat
his own professions and proclaim the
abject obedience of his people.
The people of Utah and of the Unit
ed States will take notice that state
hood was obtained for Utah on false
hoods and false pretenses; that every
promise made by the chiefs of the
Mormon church has been violated, and
that the will of God, as taught by the
church president, can be obtained for
a cash consideration.
1T is useless, at least at this time,
to eXpatiate on the candidate whose
place was purchased at the cost of the
dishonor of the head of the Church of
Jesus Christ of LatterDay Saints

BRYAN ISSUES HIS PAPER.
The Commoner Makes it's Appearance
in Lincoln Nebraska.

LINCOLN, (Neb), January 23-W. J..
Bryan's paper, The Commoner, was is
sued this evening. 1t was a busy day
for Bryan, his business manager ard
clerks. AS fast as the four presses
printed them the papers were hauiNd
in a dray to the mailing room, two
blocks distant, where they We're turned
over to a small army of clerks for adj
dressing and mailing. The original in
tention was to print but 10000 copies,
but the subscriptions came in at such
a rate yesterday that it was increased
to so, 000
The paper is of eight pages, three
columns to a page, slightly larger than
the ordinary magazine and of good
typographical appearance. The longer
editorials start on the first page and
continue through to the urth, which
is devoted to short paragraphs on pub
lie questions. There are a few contri-
buttons and a little reprint, but the
greater part of the matter is Bryan's
own writing.
The salutatory says webster de-
fines a commoner as one of the common
people. The name has been selected
for this paper because The Commoner
will endeavor to aid the common people
in the protection of their rights, the ad-
Vancement of their interests and the
realization of their aspirations.
1T is not customary to apologize for
the use of a term which distinguishes
the great body of the population from
the comparatively few, who, for one
reason of another, withdraw themselves
from sympathetic connection with their
fellow.
THE common people do not constitute
an exclusive society-they are not of
the four hundred any one can become
a member if he is willing to contribute
by brain or muscle to the Nation s
strength and greatness. Cnly those
, are barred-and they are barred by
/ their own choice-whO imagine them
selves made of a superior kind of clay
| and who deny the equality of all be-
fore the law
"A rich man who has honestly ac-
| quired his wealth and who is not afraid
to intrust its care to laws made by his
fellows can count himself among the
common people, while a poor man is
/ really not one of them if he fawns be-
/ fore a plutocrat and has no higher am
/ bition than to be a cOurtier or a syco-
| plant.
1.-THE Commoner will be satisfied il
| by fidelity to the common people il
! proves its right to the name which if
has chosen"

ROCKEFELLERS BUY RAILROAD.
NEW YORK, Jan. 22.-The journal
of Commerce" says:
1t was learned last evening on what
is considered excellent authority that
about 10000 shares of Missouri Pacific
stock nave just been transferred on the
books of the company to the names of
the Rockefellers. This is significant as
showing in the first place the business
intimacy which has developed between
the Rockefeller and Gould interests,
and is, in the second place, undoubtedly
the reflection of transactions respon-
sible for the advance in the price of the
stock, which yesterday touched 90&-
certainly a high price If it's non-divi-
dend policy is to be continued.

PACIFIC CABLE ASSURED.
Contract for Construction of Victoria.
Colonial Line Signed.

NEW YORK, Jan. pa special to
the Tribune" from Washington says:
Consul General Bray, at Melbourne,
Australia, has informed the State De-
partment that the Postmaster General
of Victoria has accepted the bid for
laying the Pacific cable, at a cost of
$S, S35, 367, the installation and survey
ing to cost 1892, 766 extra. According to
the contract the cable is to be complet-
ed and in working order by July 81,
1902. The Australia section comprises
cables from the New South Wales and
New Zealand coasts to Norfolk Islands
and thence to Fiji. The other section
will be from Fiji to Tanning Island
and thence to Vancouver, b. c. When
completed it is anticipated that this
cable will materially reduce the exist
ing charges to the United States.
The route decided upon is from Van
couver by way of Tanning or Palmyra
Island Fiji and Norfolk Island, with
branches from the last-named station
to Auckland, New Zealand, and
Queensland The length Of the cable
over this route would be (allowing II
per cent for slack actually used) 1886
nautical miles.

SNAKE INDIANS RISING.

MUSKOGEE Il. IT,, January 22.-
Washington authorities have been re-
quested to send Federal troops into the
Greek country to quell the uprising of
fullbloods known as the Snake bands,
who are creating depredations west of
Eufaula and threatening the lives of
both whites and neutral Indians. The
Indians threaten to enter the towns
and burn and kill, and Chief Mekko has
sent a message of defiance to President
Mckinley. The whites are arming and
serious bloodshed is feared.

Chaplain Pierce Of the army has rec
commended that the secretary Of war
issue to all officers and enlisted
men a tag made of aluminium bearing
the name, rank and regiment of the
wearer, and that the regulations be
amended so as to compel them to be
worn constantly about the neck. The
object Is to furnish means for the iden-
tification of the dead and wounded.
particularly in the Philippines, where
the guerillas are in the habit of mutt
lating the faces of their enemies and
the tropical heat causes rapid NORTH
cation, which changes the features so
that they cannot be recognized. Chap
lain Pierce has had much to do with
the burial Of soldiers who have been
killed in the Philippines and In ship
ping their remains home, and his ex-
perience teaches him that some means
of Identification Is absolutely neces-
sary.
Measures of this kind are used In
the other armies, and in Japan every
pupils in the public schools Is required
to wear tag bearing his name and adj
dress, which is found to be most use
full means of Identification and restor-
ing lost children.

ship of the first class in commission
until November 20, 1895, when the flag
was raised on the Indiana, and If the
battle of Santiago had been fought two
years earlier than 1t was the Oregon
the Iowa and the Brooklyn would not
have been there to take part in 1t.
II President Cleveland's Venezuelan
challenge had been taken up we should
have had just one first class and two
second class battle ships and one ar
mored cruiser ready to take the sea
against the armored fleets Of England.
Surely Providence must have had Its
lightning rods up dissipating war
clouds in the times when 1t would
have been uncomfortable for us to en-
terrain them.
Now we have built, building or au-
thorized, seventeen first class battle
ships, one second class battle ship
eight armored cruisers, one ram, elev-
en- modern coast defense vessels, fifty
three torpedo boats and destroyers,
eight submarine torpedo boats. six
auxiliary cruisers and swarm OF mis-
cellaneous craft. the whole making us
indisputably the fourth and probably
the third naval power in the world.
The personnel Of the navy has in
creased from $500 men to $4,000. The
only thing that has remained station
airy is the supply Of officers. The
Naval Academy is to be splendidly
housed in a building of classic magnifi-
cence, but the only actual growth In
the number of cadets as yet has come
from the addition of about thirty repre-
sentatives in the house under the GEN.
sus of 1890. The new apportionment
will make future classes somewhat
larger, but still far below the needs OF
the service.
This and the failure Of congress to
provide for any new ships at its last
session are the only clouds on the
bright prospect of the navy.

CASE OF MIND CURE.
Imaginary Trouble Removed By N Ex-
srcise Of the Imagination.

Imaginary Trouble Removed By IN Ex-
srcise Of the Imagination.
Nothing is stranger than the way In
which the body and mind may become
dominated by what Is called a fixed
idea, says southern physician. One
very curious case came under my OBJ
servation. A 12-year-old boy had a
slight attack Of inflammatory rheuma-
tism. and upon recovery, some months
later, found himself unable to straight
en- his right arm. 1t was bent In such
position that the back of the hand al
most touched the shoulder, and while
there was no particular soreness about
1t the boy simply insisted that he could
not move the elbow and hold the limb
straight. saw no reason why there
should be any such result from his
slight rheumatic attack. and was per-
suaded from the outset that the boy,
while no doubt perfectly honest, was
simply victim of self-deception. Dur
ing his illness he had probably found
the arm more comfortable when bent,
and gradually his mind had become
dominated by the fixed idea that It was
impossible for him to extend 1t. In
such cases 1t is useless to argue with
the patient. but frequently some lucky
accident will dissipate the illusion.
One day dropped in to see the boy,
and while was in the house an old
negro auntie remarked in his hearing
that somebody done put charm on
dat arm," and that she knew how to
take it off," How would you do it,"
I replied. 'I'd use red charm stone
have at home" she said; Il rub 1t On
his shoulder and dat arm straighten
out shore." I could see the boy was
deeply impressed, and I gave the old
woman a quarter and told her to be
around with the charm stone the next
afternoon. l was on hand myself be-
fore the appointed hour. and told the
child, with great show Of telling him
in confidence, that rather expected
that the charm was going to cure him.
The magic stone turned out to be a
piece of common red flint. but after
the old aunty had mumbled several in
carnations, rubbed his shoulder vigor-
ously and worked him into a state Of
high excitement, took his wrist and
suddenly pulled the limb straight
why, she's done 1t, sure enough"
shouted, working the elbow vigorously
before he had time to object; TRY It
yourself! Your arm is as good as
ever" He moved 1t, cautiously at first.
and then more freely, and finally de-
clared he was all right. The last time
saw him he was perfectly sound. It
was merely a case of mind cure-that
was all AS the trouble was imaginary
in the first place, little imagination
was needed to remove 1t. The old dar-
ky, by the way, got all the credit, and
she built up a considerable clientele
on the strength Of the episode.-Utica

Educate the Grim 'noLs.

Common sense and the law declare
that imprisoned criminals living at
public expense shall not by their labor
compete with honest men working
outside prison walls. 1t would be pre-.
posterous, of course, to allow the man
In prison, working for no wages, tc
diminish the income of the honest
workman who pays taxes to maintain
the prisons. On the other hand, to
condemn the prisoners to absolute
idleness involves extreme brutality,
punishment of most atrocious kind.
Nervous diseases. ill health and even
insanity follow enforced idleness OF
mind and body. Many plans are sug-
gested for overcoming this difficulty,
for keeping the convicts busy without
bringing them into competition with
honest workmen. 1t seems to us that
prison authorities might find a solu-
ton of their question in the education
Of prisoners. If prison life could be
made to diminish criminal tendencies,
as we'll as to punish criminals, the
taxes Of the people would certainly be
better spent than at present. Crime
in the majority of cases is the result
first, Of ignorance, and, second, Of a
lack of mental discipline. If the pris.
ons could educate and discipline thail
inmates crime would steadily decrease
and the problem of occupying prison.
ers wisely would be solved. A man
can be educated even at thirty or forty

We wish that the prison authorities
might see something in this sugges.

THE AMERICAN WAY.

Instead of challenging the count and
wiping out the insult in mortal COM
bat, the American simply smashed him
