CONGO STATE AFFAIRS.

For some time, az our readers arc
aware, charges have been made from
various sources that the natives Of the
Congo Free State are treated In
most barbarous manner under the re-
gime OF King Leopold, Through the
efforts Of the Congo Reform Assocla-
tion, a memorial has been presented to
Congress concerning the situation in
that country, asking that our govern
ment shall take such action az It may
deem expedlent, for the promotion OF
an impartial Inquiry.
The Congo State was founded as
result Of the remarkable explorations
OF Stanley As soon as the country
was opened up an association was
formed under the auspices OF King
Leopold, This association obtained
recognition by all the civilized powers,
and was thus placed in a position to
set up government in the interior Of
Africa. The recognition was given to
this society, undoubtedly for the pur-
pose OF preventing the powers from
quarreling about the newly discovered
territory and In the hope that the
blessings OF civilization would be
given to the natives without blood
shed.
But, according to all accounts, the
Congo association has inaugurated a
vertable reign OF terror. Under its
aegis, slavery IN It's most reyolting
aspects has been introduced, Natives
are captured and compelled to work.
NJ .. women and children are chained
together, and IL they fail to perform
the task allotted TO them, they
are cruelty beaten, and tort
ured. In many cases their
limbs are mutilated. II is even charged
that captlyes have been given to can
nibal soldiers, and that white officers
have witnessed them butchered and
eaten, All the horrors OF a reign OF
terror are said to prevail IN that un-
happy country that owes lis present
form OF government to the so-called
Christian powers, and that is the rea-
son why Congress Is being asked to
look into the matter
1t may be objected that Congress has
no interest IN the interior OF Africa. But
| If this country was interested In the es.
adjustment OF a government there, to
secure a share in the trade, It Is under
moral obligations to see to IL, that the
government 30 established does not
perpetuate unspeakable outrages under
the authority delegated to IT, II the
question Is Of rescuing thousands OF
! human beings from the hands of rob
bers It Is no time to insist on cere-
monies Every country that has the
power to do good, has the right to do
so, and this seems 10 be a case in which
duty demands interference Men may
not ordinarily have a right to NEEDLE
with the AFFAIRS OF neighbors but II the
question is OF preventing a murder OF
any other crime, the matter of pro-
pHety can not be considered.

OUR NEW SENATOR.

The election OF Hon, George suther-
land 10 the exalted office Of United
states senator was fully anticipated
because 1t was known that large
number of members OF the Legislature
were chosen by the citizens in the
Irrespective districts with that purpose
in view. The friends OF Mr. Sutherland
had been moving to that end for about
two years. Their success was to be
expected as no other candidates put IN
any preliminary work and those VINO
had been mentioned, withdrew from the
contest when they learned of the
strength Of the popular nominee
One element that contributed to the
success Of Mr.. Sutherland was the Dit
ter opposition OF paper that utterly
fails IN its attempted dictation of Utah
affairs. It's personal attacks upon any
man is almost like certificate OF good
character. Its venomous assaults helped
his cause materially.

Dancing is Healthful

Miss. Nellie DAILY, now member
of Illaw & changers "Humpty
Dumpty' company, and who will be
remembered locally through her
whirlwind dance in the original pro-
duction of |1Babcs in 'Toyland,' . is a
great advocate of dancing as q
healthful exercise.
She believes there is no better aid
to Indigestion and no surer road to
health than can be found in a prop
er and jndicious indulgence in
dancing, especially if it can be had
TO the accompaniment of music
She saws: with music it has, as
most girls know, a peculiar charm
which makes it more of an enjoy
ment than an exercise, and its very
strenuousness is lost sight of in the
rhythmic motion of the round dance.
"While dancing of the ballroom
type. serves to proomte a healthy cir
culation. with its corresponding
benefits, it is not nearly so good an
exercise as that of the dancing on
the stage. A girl does not necessar-
lily nave TO receive Instructors IN
this special kind of dancing in order
to obtain the beneficial exercise that
may be derived from it. If she will
but watch closely some performer
doing dancing speciality in any one
of the big productions and will care
fully note few of the simpler steps
and kicks and viii then practice
them she will soon develop without
realizing it a fondness for working
in perfect harmony with mental
tempo"
In E<Humpty Dunpty" Miss DAILY
executes very remarkable dance
with Mr.. MacVeigh. 1t lasts at least
five minutes and half the time both
dancers are in the air.
