"MORM MONS" IN ARIZONA.

BY the courtesy of Hon. Joseph How
ell, congressman from Utah, we have
been favored with copy Of the Official
report OF hearings before the House
Committee on Territories, IN relation
TO the bill for the admission Of Arizona
and New Mexico strong objections
were raised by speakers from Arizona,
against the proposed union of those
Territories as one State, They were
cogent and emphatic, The claims Of
Arizona to statehood for herself alne
were strongly put. The population, .e-
sources wealth. schools. public lnsti'u-
tons, railroads telegraphs, irrigation
works, &c, were thoroughly gone into,
and among the prominent advocates Tor
admission was Hon j, +. Wilson. In
his closing remarks refuting the yarl-
GUS stories told as objections to
Arl2ona's admission, he noticed the
antl-"Mormon" opposition and We re.
produce that portion Of his argument
verbatim as follows:
81 notice now another objection
that Is the Mormon proposition. II has
been said that We are Mormon ridden in
Arizona, and that the Mormon people
are dangerous TO society, The farther
away people are from these people the
more they seem to know about them.
You lind a lot Of people who have never
crossed the Mississippi River, who have
never inhaled Western air. who have
never seen Mormon settlement, or
who have never seen community OF
the Mormon people, and they think that
the name indicates what they charge,
and that therefore they rise up on
faT-fetched presumption and through
partisan feeling and dogmatlsm, and
make the charges without knowing
whether they are true or false,
Their charges are mainly made
against the Mormon people In Utah,
Whether what they say and charge
against the Mormon people Of Utah IN
true or false | do not know, but | GER
talnly do not believe them. have not
been there, As to the Mormon people
In Arizona, have been among them for
eighteen years, and have observed
them carefully, or course the older
set Ia not there. The younger, educat.
ed class IL there, They are IN large
settlements In the counties Of Apache.
Nayajoe, In Maricopa, and In Graham,
There are four counties In which they
live, The Graham Valley, where, IN one
Of these, large productions OF the soil
has been made, they are mainly Nor.
mon people Now, | say have been
among them for eighteen years, ana In
every two years especially have been
among them. We make II buslness
10 see those folks, In politics they arc
about divided Some OF them, some
times, we think, have gone wrong and
voted the Republican ticket There Ia
not much difference between the
strength OF the respective sides, They
are independent on that
so far as the practice Of polygamy
Is concerned, I can say that II is not

A RUSSIAN THREAT.

Il has been intlmated that Russia
intends, with the consent OF Turkey, to
send her Black Sea fleet through the
Dardanelles, with the object In view OF
dspatchng It to the AHatlc waters
Could England as the alley OF Japan,
permit these ships through the Suez
canal? Their passage through the
Dardaneles would be violation Of eS-
listing treaties, and 1t Is not likely that
Great Britain could, under the circum-
stances, permit them to pass through
any channel over which she exercises
control,
The Black Sea fleet consists OF the
hattlcshIps Trl syiatltella, l2,iSO tons;
the Knlaz Potemkin Tavritchesky, 49,
500 tons, the George pobiedonosets, H.
$50 tons; the Tchesme and the Slnop,
each l0,lS0 tons; the Dvenadsat Apos-
toof $500 tons, and the Rostislay, $500
tons, together with cruiser of about
5000 tons displacement and three tor
pedo boats, This would be consider
able addition 10 the naval strength Of
Russia in the Pacific, But the forcing Of
the Dardanelles, against the protests
OF the Berlin treaty powers. would al
most certainly lead to complications OF
a most serious nature,

1.-THE greatest need Of today Is the o.

That voice Is speaking In this year of

the quiet OF true Lenten season in the
