DISCUSSED PoLYGAMY.
Amendment Restricting Influence
of Mormon Church Was Also
lutely Necessary


discussion of the Statehood bill to-
day turned on the question of poly
gamy. A number of senators who
heretofore have taken no part in
the debate participated in the dis
cussion. Mr. McComas had started
the debate yesterday by criticising
the pending bill as being too liberal,
and when the subject came up to-
dav Mr.. Gallinger adverted to his
remarks and said that he was in
favor of an amendment covering
this question as strong as could be
drawn. The influence OF the Nor
mon church over politics occupied
a large share of the debate, which
Mr.. Hale characterized as interest
ing. valuable and startling, because
it had disclosed powerful religious
organization, 'exerting itself as
dominant, potential force" over the
mind and action of its followers,
which should be taken into account
in future legislation.
Mr.. Dubois { Idaho) declared that
no polygamist could occupy any
high political place without the
consent of the first president of the
Mormon church. The same inhu-
ence, he said, was exercised in New
Mexico and Arizona. Hesaid Idaho
could control the Mormon people
when it so desired. He said the mat
ter was dark element that can not
be penetrated by the light that US
ually illustrates and enlighten COM
munities generally in the States.
Mr.. Teller said the Mormon
church is all-powerful, and that
whenever it spoke through its first
president the great body of the
church responded to the demand
made.
Mr.. Rawlins of Utah declared
that the Mormon church's influence
in politics in Utah is an important
factor.
Mr.. Spooner inquired if it was
true that The first presidency could
dictate whether or not a Mormon
should hold a high political office
without consent of the first presi-
dency.
Mr.. Rawlins said that when the
appointment is given the man goes
forth with the benediction of the
r presidency.
while the other man," inter
jected Mr.. Hale, remains under
the frown of the church.
Mr.. Rawlins admitted that
majority of the legislature are mem
bers of the Mormon churth, although
he said they have not Disseminated
against non Mormons on religious
grounds. If there is anything in the
spirit of American institutions, said
Mr.. Hale, it is that it is never per-
missible on the part Of the author
titles of religious organizations to
exercise control in temporal matters
over their followers and to influence
elections.
"This day has not been i'll spent"
he declared, Sin bringing out con-
ditions that obtain where the Nor
mon church has secured its lodge
ment."
Mr.. Quay said he was not Just
now prepared or authorized to ac-
cept an amendment to the bill en-
bodyihg the Edmunds law and APP
plying it to Arizona and New Mex
leo. The best way to settle that
question, he said, was to fix a day
for a vote on the bill.

THE "cAYJUN" GUNNER.
Singular Figure of LouisIana Lnr
gOGns and the Way He Bags
His Game.

The fight of the wild fowl for the
north means serious deprivation to
large class of people who live above
and below New Orleans back FROM the
Mississippi river. These are folk who
do not buy any meat from one years
end to another, says the New York
Sun.
In the fall ard winter they eat ducks
and fish; in the spring and summer
they eat fish. They are the lowest
stratum of the Acadian, or "Cayjun,r
population, owning only such land as
their huts are built on and frequently
the huts stand on piles with six inches
of water under them. At this time
they are still getting ducks, but rarely.
and only such belated ones as should
have started north many days ago.
Drifting down one of the placid
bayous or lagoons which make
checkerboard of the country, man,
loating home after days fishing, will
see solitary figure standing on the
bank. 1t will be of middle age, clad
in cottOnade trousers, hickory shirt
and straw hat, and it will be barefoot
ed. 1t stands very patient and still, it's
position selected to command the
bayou and at the same time be incon-
spicuous.
Generally it will blend with an old
dead tree or be sheltered by clump of
saplings. 1t will have muzzle-load-
ing. double-barreled gun nearly as
long as itself, the butt resting against
the ground. the barrels held against
the body, SO that they will not show
too plainly. That will be one of the
"Cayiuns' waiting for his duck.
He knows that pair of them OF
possibly a single mallard will be apt ia
| fly up or down the bayou near dusk,
searching for a roost, and he is there
to stop it. Probably he lives two miles
| or three miles back from the bayou.
| but he will have only two loads of No.
| slot in the gun. The wadding will
be Of brown paper and the powder Of
| the black kind.
If he misses he will go home with
| out anything. but he will not miss. In
evitsb bly,, if the duck comes along, it
will stop and go into the "Cayjunn
| stomachwnext day.
The man in the boat lifts his hands
and calls cheerily: "Bon jour, Jean
Baptiste!" The figure, not stirring,
answers softly and promptly: bon
| jour, m'sieu!" He watches the. boat
out of sight, stock still.
Half mile down the bayou the man
in the boat notes sudden swift rush
of wing above his head, and casting up
his eyes sees solitary mallard speed
ing. Thirty seconds later he hears a
'single sullen report and knows that
the old long gun. made years before
the war and handed down from grand
father to son, has done it's work. In
a little while the 'Cayjun" will be sole
| ~ on fish diet.

Good jump!" a gay voice called

"Good jump!" gay voice called
near him and looking cautiously to
his right he saw Miss Granger, 80
yards away, even with him and riding
like a professional, hands well down
and head tilted back, smile on her
lips. He called to her and their
horses rose simultaneously at the
next fence, going over with foot
to spare. Another fence was cleared
and then ploughed field was struck.
In this heavy going Miss Granger
dropped back; her mount was lighter
and she was riding with care; but
Manton had no judgment and the big
black pounded on. He took the fence
at the farther side without slacken-
ing. Indeed, his hunting blood was
up and he was having such fun that
he forgot to be vicious. The brook
came next. Then more fences.
Glancing around Manton saw Willie
Delay to his left, riding his new
horse, whose chest was fiecked with
foam. Beyond him was Reggy Van
Duyck and a hundred yards to his
right was Algy Remsen boring in
toward him. He suspected no design
in their presence, but was suddenly
conscious that they had drawn in
upon him, riding now not five yards
apart, and that the pace had in
creased to a hurricane drive. The
Gravemaker was fully extended now
and his great limbs were spurning
the ground. Two fields ahead of
them were the dogs with bellies to
the ground, streaming along with
noses up and tails rigid.
Fifty yards further hedge ran
athwart their path-a high stiff
hedge of briar and rail and on the
hither side a long deep cash in the
earth, the ten foot ditch, with the
barrier beyond. Manton noted it
and felt little sickish. He saw
Willie's face and his cheeks were
nearly as green as the absinthe. The
others he did not note.
Five seconds passed and then the
mighty muscles under him punched
and gathered for the effort. Next
moment he felt that he was sailing
to the clouds. The ditch and the
hedge shot under him like ribbon.
Then he knew that he was over.
Looking back he saw Willie rising
from the soil, where he had been
thrown in the new hunters fall. The
horses of the two other men had re-
| fused the leap.
He was in at the death of the ainse-
| seed bag three minutes later and the
| huntsman, smug-faced Englishman n
from the fox shires, handed him the
brush with grin. 1t was brush
| kept for such hunt. Miss Granger
rode up little later and Manton
handed the brush to her.
81 should have told you last night"
he said, ''that l was a party to that
wager"
'You became party after l had
told YOU of it?" she asked.
"Yes."
She pondered moment and saw
the motives that had swayed him
