Chicago, (SpeciaD Standing un-
steadily and with great effort before an
audience Of 1880 persons in Zion Taber-
nache Sunday afternoon, John Alexander
Dowie charged his aocusers, ii any were
present, TO make their accusations before
the whole congregation.
The followers of Voliva, the new
leader in Zion City's affairs, however,
were at that moment attending a rival
meeting, set for the same hour, at the
Zion College building. There 5000 OF
the city's inhabitants were gathered, to-
gether with the Zion choir, now Invested
of its ecclesiastical garb, and the Zion
Band and Orchestra.
Those who listened to the words OF
Dowie were for the most part visitors
brought in by electric cars and railroad
trains. In front of the platform and in
the choir loft were probably $50 faithful
Dowieites.
Dowie was borne bodily by two stall
wart negro attendants from an anteroom
to the platform and deposited upon his
feet before the elaborate altar He was
attired in a new apostolic robe of white,
gold and purple. On his head was a
turban of marvellous pattern, embroidered
in purple and gold He delivered his adj
dress seated before the altar. Only oe-
casionally, when reused 10 an unusual
pitch of earnestness, did he rise.
Mrs. Dowie, who has severed her al
legiance with Voliva, sat in a wicker
chair among Dowie's followers in the
congregation Except for former Mayor
R. D. Harper. Dowie was alone on the
platform. Dowie announced the hymns
and led in prayer in firm voice. He
prefaced his sermon by a spirited denial
of the charges that have been brought
against him by Voliva and others.
"They say I've taken the peoples
money; do you believe it," he asked,
Answers of Yes" and mo" came from
different parts of the audience A man
who said yes was singled out by Dowie.
Pointing trembling finger at the man,
Dowie asked him to stand up and tell
what money l took and when" The
man sat still. A guardian was ordered
to compel the man to stand, but he
stood silent
Then it was that Dowie rose and de-
manded that any of those present who
had anything to charge against him
should make the charge. No one offered
to accuse Dowie.
Dowie paid tribute to Mrs. Dowie.
"My wife has some noble qualities, but
she was misled and imposed upon. They
used her until they were through with
her and then cast her aside. My son
played tricks on me which he ought not
to have done, but he, too, was deceived"
Dowie made his first appearance since
his return to Zion City Saturday in the
Tabernacle at 6.3o o'clock Sunday morn
ing, when he conducted prayer and
praise service. About 100 were present.
Voliva held a similar meeting at that
hour and it was largely attended Dowie
has taken up lis abode in Shiloh House,
where he intends to remain in retirement
until after the decision of the court in
his injunction suit against Voliva

the Queensland sugar planter that men

there they were supposed (for the sake Of
formula and nomenclature to sign docu-
ment that bound them to labor for a term
of years In the sugar fields. AS none Of
them could read or write or understand the
document they were supposed to sign. the
true nature of the solemn farce may be
readily gathered. One hundred dollars

them in Queensland-rather less than Afri-
can slavers' rates in the good old days, but
the distance was much less and the danger

The death rate among them after they

fifty in the thousand and was sometimes

You think this was a long time ago, two

Renaissance of Corn Bread.


Just before the adjournment of Congress,
Representative Adamson of Georgia tainted
some of his republican colleagues with the
ignorance of northern people of the art Of
making corn bread. If there is to be a
corn bread renaissance, we must insist that
1t shall not be sectional. The assumption
that the south revels in the knowledge and
enjoyment of sure enough corn bread is en-
tirely fictitious. Only the favored few still
enjoy 1t. While the unspeakable imitation
which finds its way to the majority of
southern tables is far superior to that hor-
rid northern stuff with sugar In 1t. it Is far
from the real thing that southerners used
to know and enjoy. II Mr.. Adamson can
succeed in inducing Congress to appropriate
a large sum to be devoted to corn bread
schools we shall not resist 1t, but unless
Texas gets her share OF the money to be de-
voted to rescuing from ruthless oblivion the
art of making sure enough corn bread We
are going to make all the trouble we can,
and we serve notice on the country now.

THE ExoURsIoN1sTs RETURN.

The excursion of Salt Lakers and Oc-
| deniteo to Ely was an unqualified sue
cess. All Of the excursionists are en-
thusiastic as to their treatment, the
welcome they received, and above all,
as to the prospective value and richness
OF the trade which viii be developed at
Ely. The mines there are unqeustion~
ably Of the most permanent character,
and the ore IN immense masses is un-
usually rich for such large deposits. The
final ceremonies, the spike driving. the
speaking, and the disposition of the peo-
pie toward Salt Lake aud toward Og-
den, were OF the very finest order.
There can be no qeustion but that
the excursion will yield rich results IN
trade and commercial benefits. both for
Ely and for the Utah points. This city
naturally expects to be the metropolis
and the center for the mass of the
trade. Ely would be glad to have it SO,
and undoubtedly Salt Lake City with
her immense start in mining machinery
houses, in snelters, and in all forms Of
reduction works ard mining activities,
can easily lead. This lead will enable
the plants III this immediate vicinity
TO care for all the ores which the mines
can supply, and they will handle them
20 such advantage that Salt Lake S long
lead eau never be overtaken.
Everything has the most auspicious
outlook, and great results are sure to
follow from the enthusiastic excursion
The Tribune congratulates all concerned
on the success of this establishment of
communication with that great and
rich mining region. We trust that every.
thing may continue as favorable as 1T
has begun, aud that Ely will reap as
rich rewards from Salt Lake as Salt
Lake will reap from Ely.

THE LABOR TICKET.

Ihe labor forces of this city in pol
itics made their nominations OF coun-
ty ticket on Sunday. That ticket is a
talrly representative one of the diff
terent labor elements in this com-
munlty. The platform is Of the usual
order-some good, some bad PROPOSE
tlons IL it, a great deal Of what is
commended aud demanded would be
quite impossible Of realization, even
though all the Legislature should be
composed Of men pledged to its sup.
port.
No one has the least business to dis
pute the right Of the labor elements to
enter into politics; they have Just as
much right to put ticket IN the field
as any other set of voters have. And
40 one else has anything at all to say
aoout 1t, any business either TO inter
fere or condemn. II is sn American privi-
lege that every voter has, 10 vote as he
or she sees fit, without the shadow OF
Interference from any one. This right
and this liberty is precisely what tho
American party stands for and defends.
We believe not only IN individual free
dom IN tins respect, and III combination
freedom to the fullest extent, but We
believe in the practical exercise OF that
freedom when any person or number of
persons feel disposed to exercise ii in
their own way,
We desire, of course, that those who
make this labor move in politics should
understand precisely what they wish TO
effect by it, and that the method they
have taken is the method which they
desire to pursue. At the same time
VIC cannot but regard it as unfortunate
that their view should be as it is in
this matter-unfortunate for their own
cause as we'll AS fer tue general cause
OF American liberty in this State. The
more thoughtful Of the labor leaders
must see that the great foe they have
to fight here is the oreanizaL ion which
Is supreme aud in control; that the
combination which is moro hostile to
! then as laborlng men and as organized
labor, is the ecclesiastical combine
which holds the masses OF the Mormon
people within its clutches, The out
spoken condemnation by the hierarchic
leaders OF all labor organizations, their
| autocratic announcement that member
ship in the Mormon church is sufficient
| for any and for all purposes-including
the protection OF their rights as labor
ers, their sweeping dcmand that obedi,
ence to the hierarchy shall be conceded,
and shall include everything of interes.
to man IL this world and in the next,
must surely awaken the attention of
