thought which should sink deep into
the minds OF the electorate.
The repeal OF the law providing for
the payment of a registration fee and
our present ballot system are both
Justly condemned. The registration
fee must be done away with and the
adoption Of a plain. simple ballot such
as he recommends and which will not
be confusing to the voters and which
win avoid the throwing out OF several
thousand wrongly marked ballots at
every election as heretofore is at the
present time a paramount necessity
The views of Governor Lea on the
finances Of the State are indeed worthy
Of great consideration. He recon-
mends that our resources be husbanded
and not wasted and that the expendi-
lures Of the state should be carefully
scrutinized as the best means Of insur-
ing an honest and economical adminis-
tration. In no item OF the public ex-
pendlture can this be done with more
gratifying results than In the purchase
Of supplies and expenditures for print
ing, and should the Governor be able
to carry into effect this suggestion We
believe the saving to the revenues Of
the State viii be a surprise to the
average citizen. We trust the Legis-
lature will make this most practical
Recommendation law without any UNI
necessary delay. His recommended
lions as to the management OF the
state institutions is one Of caution,
recognizing that It Is only by such cau-
ton that such institutions can be
maintained at their highest efficiency
and the care OF the unfortunate wards
Of the state be carried on successfully
and satisfactorily. These institutions
have in the past been so managed and
conducted, but vigilance Is the price
that must be paid for efficiency and
II the officers OF these institutions are
followed closely by the Governor the
results will amply repay him and those
whom he represents.
The recommendation Of salaries for
all officers is approved Of from all
quarters, it must eventually come and
as Il Is required by the Constitution
should not be delayed beyond this Leg
islature.
The suggestion that good roads in
the several counties must be con-
istructed from materials close al hand
is timely and viii meet the approval Of
practical men. We understand that
the State Grange is now moving for
Legislation in this direction. The sug-
gestion that commission be appoint
ed TO make an investigation Of the
matter and report is a good one and
II some system like that under which
our county workhouse is conducted
could be evolved from such investlga-
ton It would be a blessing to the
states His declaration that the money
raised by taxation for road purposes
and all money appropriated therefor
should be economically expended Is
we'll worthy Of consideration.
The people Of this state and The
Evening Journal win gladly give Gov
ernor Lea the support which he asks
for in carrying out the duties OF his
Office as he views them.

MORMONS AS A
POLITICAL POWER
Smoot Witness Says Both
Parties Sought Church's
Influence
AN AGREEMENT WITH GENTIlFS

Washington, Jan. 17--Judge Will
ian NJ. McCarty, Of the supreme court
Of Utah, a witness called for the de-
tense in the Smoot investigation, de-
clared that there was a tacit under
standing in Utah that one senator
should be a Mormon and one a Gen
tile. He said Gentiles realized that If
the Mormons should unite they
could control and keep Gentiles off the
ticket and therefore Gentiles were ap-
prehensive until they knew whether
they were 10 get Mormon support.
The judge said it was his opinion that
too much Importance was attached to
the church as a political factor and
that as a matter of fact there was
little interference.
Judge McCarty was asked concern
ing his prosecutions Of polygamists in
the United States court in 1898. He
said he stopped bringing actions be-
fore commissioners because his super
Tor officer shut off his fees. He
thought the United States district at
torney had received an intimation from
the department of justice to lease up
on the prosecutions. He thought both
political parties became opposed to
criminal actions. Continuing, he said:
"And that was the cause of all the
trouble-this coquetting with the Nor
mon church men in both parties
sought to learn whether the territory
would become a Republican or a Dem
ocratic state-I won't say they sought
the church as a political organization
but sought the politicians among the
Mormons."
Chairman Burrows asked Judge Nc
Carly whether he thought the presi-
dent of church, confessedly living In
polygamous relations, had a tendency
to promote or discourage the practice
among the people.
ITO promote II, unquestionably
should say" was the reply.
The witness thought II the presi-
dent of the church should put aside his
plural wives and declare against poly
gamous practices there would be an
end to the practice except in a few in
stances.
In answer 70 questions by Senator
Dubois, Judge McCarty said that Nor
mons in Utah may unite to exclude
every Gentle state ticket and there.
fore the Gentiles were apprehensivt
until they knew whether fight was e
be made against them, but he said hi
thought too much prominence was Civ
en- TO the church and that the Nor
mons as a church are not taking thu
active part in politics that has been at
tributed TO them. He was of the opin
ion that Mr.. Smoot had to get consen
of the church to run for senator anS
that when a high church officer raj
for office it was understood that he ha'
obtained the consent OF his superior
in the church He said there was {
tacit understanding that one senate
should be a Mormon and one a Gentle
Mr.. Tayler asked Judge McCarty If h.
approved of this agreement and h
said: mo, do not It recognizes th'
Mormon church as a factor in politics
and / believe that we should get tn
best men on the ticket and that fines
for Office should be the only considera

NOTES T 2E THEATRES

"A Wayward Son" is the title of the
production which opened at the Ly-
ceum Theatre yesterday for an en-
gagement of three days 1t is from
the pen OF Neil Twomey who is also
playing the leading part tom Han
ford" The play is founded on life in
New York State and deals with COM
edy, intrigue and pathos. There are
shown some very clever mechanical
stage scenes, including a railroad sid
ing where a realistic locomotive in full
operation is run on the stage. This
scene is so natural that it elected
great applause. Another realistic
scene is the trolley drawbridge at the
close of the second act. Mr.. Twomey
introduced in Wilmington a style OF
acting seldom seen here. He is con-
scientious in his work and does not
overdo the part. The cast is a cap
able one. The play remains at the
Lyceum until tomorrow evening with
the usual matinees.

The excellence Of the bill at the

toned. The Champagne Dancers, a
sprightly musical comedy number made
more or less famous as the hit Of 1.-THE

first time. It presents a half dozen
pretty girls and as many men who are
good singers and dancers. Frederick
Bond & Co, in a clever bit of farce
comedy are about the most pretentious
thing of this kind that has come TO
the Garrick this season. Murphey &
Willard Of Have a Doughnut" fame;
wesson, Waters and Wesson, a star
comedy trio; thinner. the juggler; The
Carmen Sisters, banjoists; Reno, Arizo

Lyceum until tomorrow evening with
the usual matinees.
To Selma Herman's list Of successes
has been added her performance Of
Winnie Winfield in welded But No
Wife" in which she has achieved re-
markable success this season. The
play was written by Maurice ]. Field
ling who had Miss Herman in his mind
for the leading role. The character is
emotional to a degree. There is plenty
of good comedy however, so that those
who cannot enjoy a cry may enjoy a
laugh. II will appear at the Lyceum
on January 26, q and 2S.
1.-THE Moonshiner's Daughter" the
comedy success which will be seen at
the Lyceum January 23 "a and % is a
dramatization Of a very popular novel
which has stood the test of severe
criticism within the last year. It is
not a lurid portrayal OF Western life
entirely, its chief success having been
brought about by a sensational series
Of very dramatic climaxes.
"Alone I'm the World" thrilling
lmelodramatic production under the di-
rection Of Mittenthal Brothers Amuse-
ment Company. will appear at the
Lyceum for the three days, January
| 10, 20 and 21. This piece is one that
has pleased thousands and it is sure to
meet with favor in the eyes Of the
theatre patrons of Wilmington.

comedy that comes to the Grand Opera
House on Monday night and which
scored such an emphatic hit at the
Criterion Theatre. New York. has for
its chief fun makers young and pretty

youngest prima donna in the country

Tuesday night. 1t was Londons chief
dramatic success last year and was
there secured by Mr.. Frohman for Mr..
Miller 1t lately scored a two months
run at the Garrlck Theatre, New York,
with the coming Miller Company.
Usually Mr.. Frohman makes his
premiere presentations in one of the
Atlantic Coast cities but in this in
stance he selected San Francisco as the
scene in conformity with his new ar
arrangement with Mr.. Miller, that he
should hereafter appear each summer
In San Francisco in whatever play or
plays Mr. Frohman may have secured
for his succeeding winter season in the

100000 fire
At HOBOKEN

New York, Aug. 8.-Inside of three
quarters of an hour fire swept away
the Delaware, Lackawanna & Western
Railroad company's terminal in Hobo
ken, seized two ferry boats and prac-
tically ruined them. and. for half an
hour threatened the destruction of the
etire water front in the vicinity, in
Guiding the Hamburg-American and
North German Lloyd steamship docks,
at which several big ships were lying.
The property damaged is estimanted at
between 100000 and $500, 200.
So far as known no lives were lost.
For over an hour huge tongues of flame
leaped from the wooden structures on
the Lack awanna docks, lighting the
New Jersey and New York water
fronts. For time it threatened loss
larger than that of the big dock fire
several years ago when the North Ger.
man Lloyd piers were destroyed with
great loss of life.
The flames started from an unknown
cause on the old wooden ferry boat
Hopatcong, which had been tied up in
the open sea, between the Hamburg
American docks and the christopher
street ferry slips. Twenty minutes
after the alarm it looked as if the en-.
tire lower part of Hoboken, including
the Hamburg piers would be destroyed.
The two burning ferry boats were
towed out into the stream by tugs.
The Hopatcong sank later.
After few hours work the fire was
under control, the big steamship piers
had been saved, and a rough estimate
placed the damage at 100000.
The new immigration station, which
was built of brick and stone, and &C.
cupied only two weeks ago, cost $780,
600 to build, and was supposed to be
fireproof. 1t was soon q mass Of fire
the interior burning rapidly. Only 9
few persons werein the building at the
time of the outbreak and they were
hurried out.
