Rewarding the Mormons

Despite the protests of women's
clubs, the VIC. T. IT,, religious bodies
and church societies all over the coun-
try, it is the present intention of the
republicans of the senate committee on
privileges and elections to recommend
that Reed Smoot. the Mormon apostle,
be allowed to retain his seat in the
senate This is acknowledgment of
Mormon loyalty to the party at the
recent presidential election.
Some days ago Chairman Burrows
notified the attorneys on both sides
that if they desired that any more tes-
timony be submitted it should be hand
ed to the committee in the shape OF
dispositions. This means that there
will be no more oral hearings
The committees report may be SUBJ
mitted to the senate before March 4,
but it is not intended, according to
present plans, that vote in the SEN
ate shall be taken until the next con-
gress The idea is to kill as much time
as possible in order that the objection
able features of the case may fade from
the public mind.

New Alignment of Parties

That new political alignments are
probably at hand is as prophetic as
political history can make it. The pres
idential election of 1904 resembles that
of 1852, the eliminating year of the
old regime, as two peas in the same
pod resemble each other.
In 1852 there were two principal
parties, and, growing out of the chat
tel slavery evil, minor party. In
1904 there were two principal parties,
and, growing out of economic evils,
several minor parties.
The minor party of 1852, the free
democracy, was fundamentally demo-
cratic. 1t polled popular vote of only
156,149, about 5 per cent of the total,
and not one electoral vote. The minor
parties of 1904-socialist, peoples, pro-
hibition, etc.-were democratic in va
rious interpretations of the term, even
if their germ principles are more or
less. paternalistic Their popular vote
is as yet unknown, but in percentage
it is probably about 6 or Z per cent
the total
Of the two principal parties in 1852,
the democratic was bound hand and
foot by the slave oligarchy. In its
platform it declared that 1.-The demo-
cratic party will resist al, attempts at
renewing, in congress or out OF it, the
agitation of the slavery question, un-
der whatever shape or color the at
tempt may be made Of the two prin-
cipal parties in 1904 the republican
stood in a similar relation to plutoc-
racy.
The second principal party in 1852
tried to make itself as valuable a de-
fender of slavery as the other. In it's
platform it declared that the slave COM
promise acts, including the fugitive
slave law, are settlement in princi-
pie and substance of the dangerous and
exciting questions which they en-
BRACE" and deprecating "all further
agitation of the question thus settled,
as dangerous to our peace, - pledged
the party to "discountenance all eff
forts to continue or renew such agi-
tation whenever, wherever and how
ever the attempt MAJ be made" The
second principal party of 1904 stood in
similar relation generally to the 9TH
er on the iSsue of plutOcracy; and in
Parker's telegram p-oclaiming the eter-
naiity of the gold standard there was
striking resemblance in form even if
not in substance. to the whig declar-
alton of the eternality of the slavery
compromise,
Those being the impressively analo-
gous circumstances, ,et us turn to the
election results. There was an cleo
toral vote landslide in 1852, apparently
for the democratic party, but really
against the recreant whig party. There
was an electoral vote landslide in 1904
apparently for the republican party
but really against the recreant dem
ocratic party. The electoral vote OF
1852 was 254 for the democrats and
only AZ for the wings; in 1904 it was
l335 for the republicans and only 14l
for the democrats.
Now for the sequel. A new party
sprang up during the four years fol
| lowing the election of 1852 1t was not
the free democracy of 1852, but an en-
tirely new party born out of the issues
and the occasion. In 1856 it pollei

Prospects Never So Bright

Editor independents: The proposition
as set forth in your referendum ballot
should only be answered in one way,
/, there is no power on earth that can
deliver the peoples party into the dem
ocratic ranks, we might disband, but
think as many would drift into the re-
publican as the democratic party, with
perhaps as much hopes of the re-
forms that we seek in one as in the
other. We should be glad to cooperate
with Mr.. Bryan or anyone else that
honestly seeFs the reforms that we
are striving for, reforms that will bring
the greatest good to the greatest num-
Der, we need the council and aid OF
all true men. and while we have the
greatest confidence in Mr.. Bryan's hon.
esty and sincerity of purpose, We
should not seek suicide by joining him
in his effort to reform the democratic
party, we have great regard for the
reform wing of that party and have
believed in and tried fusion in hopes
of bringing about more immediate re-
suits, but when it comes to a perma-
nent union with them are afraid there
are too much of the old element left to
make it a safe venture We may be
timid. show the white feather, turn our
backs on the enemy, desert the cause,
may become demoralized but the
truths that we are striving for, the is
sues for which we are contending are
Gods truths and in time must prevail,
are we discouraged? 1t took the lib
eral party in England over seventy
years to educate the people up to pass
the reform BILL infants were born,
struggled through life and died in old
age, and vet the strife went on until
victory was achieved. and England
took step forward that left her no
peer among nations and proved as
great benefit to the aristocracy that
had opposed it so long as to those that
had striven for it, and such we believe
would be the result of the reforms that
we advocate.
And never in our history has our
prospects been brighter than they are
today, the democratic defeat is SO
great that the party is thoroughly de-
moralized and can not hope to recover
in generation, those that are honest
in seeking reform must seek it in an
other party, and the republican party
so overwhelmingly in power that there
will be no obstruction to prevent any
legislation they wish, and all will soon
come to realize that controlled as the
party is by the great corporate powers
they can not hope for any legislation
favorable for the people, and many
that are now republicans will turn to
the peoples party, that would not be
willing to trust the democratic party
though controlled by the reform wing
for many Of them have prejudice that
has grown since childhood AMI
strengthened with age against the very
name. Let us maintain our party or
ganization. throw our banner to ths
breeze and invite. to our standard all
that believe in equality and freedom
those that believe in the initiative and
