AMUSEM ENTS,
"The San Francisco Disaster"

An immense throng gathered at the
Onera house yesterday afternoon and
evening to witness the moving pictures
with the "San Francisco Disaster as
q feature film. The picture is an ex-
ceptionally fine one as to light and sub
ject, showing Market street before and
after the fire and the great conf'agra-
ton, as seen from the hills and the
ruins and desolatiUn left in the path of
the fire and earthquake which appalled,
the whole world. Another beautiful
dramatic picture illustrating the story
of "Genevieve'' comes in for q good
share of praise. This week is the last
opportunity OF seeing the moving pic
lures at the price OF cents as the new
arrangement Of a double show for 10
cents for adults and cents for children
goes into effect Monday, Jan. 81.

HoFKINs'S ROCKY ROAD.

We print in another column on this
page, an article from the CHICAGO Rec
ord-Herald, on the condition of the
Hopkins fight for reelection tc tho
United States Senate from Illinois.
Hopkins got considerable lead IN the
popular vote at the primaries, but
failed by many thousands of votes Of
getting a majority Of the Republicans
of Illinois to approve his reelection.
The legislative result gives him a ma
jority, however, ever both Foss and
Mason, his competitors. So that if the
Republican legislative caucus sould be
held on that basis, Hopkins would sure
ly win.
But evidently the fight against Hop
kins is being waged with the hope OF
changing conditions. On the showing
made, Hopkins has three ,6fths of the
Republican membership in the new
Legislature. But the detection of a
comparatively small number of those
legisla tors would leave him stranded: /:
and it is evidently with the hope of
causing this breach in the Hopkins
strength that the fight indicated is be-
ing waged.
We have lively hope that Hopkins
may be defeated. He is nero time

distributor of "thc spols;" fervent
believer in the efficacy of the pie.
counter. And he was the leader Of the
political treachery which, under the
name of judicial hearing, turned the
Smoot hearing into a partisan job. He
was the leader of the Smoot forces, the
toadying mouthpiece of the President

canism and the American home, In IA

scrupulous, ingenious, reckless, and fer
tile Lar of all who spoke for Smoot. He
set forth as existing conditions here, o
state OF affairs entirely imaginary and
impossible, sort of Utopia as far ro-
For this odious reversal of all that was
justly to have been expected Of Sena-
tor, the Mormon church is hoping and
waiting with bated breath for the re-
election Of Hopkins, which would add
another Senator to those already under
the control of this reasonable priest
craft; the State OF Illinois has been
flooded with Mormon missionaries
whose chief duty was to boost for Hop
kins III his campaign for reelection;
and everything, from big lobby to q
big corruption fund, can be depended
upon by him from Salt Lake TO aid his
cause. The Mormon church would be
as glad of the return of Hopkins to the
Senate as it would be TO get another
of its open and known apostles into
that body.

least mint il any Scriptural writings
that Christ was married, that He par
took OF the passions Of humanity, nor
is thore the slightest reason to imagine
the scandalous suggestion of Apostle
Clawson. We call attention to this be-
cause Of the callous brutality OF the
mind from which alone such Il hint
could have sprung. and note the impiops
extravaganza IF the utterance merely
TO condemn it rs forcefully and as Mt
terly as il is possible for language to
do. The sentiment is in direct line with
the kindred suggestion that is heard oc'
casionally, but is usually hustled into
the background, that Jesus Christ mar
ried certain of the women whose names
are connected with His acts and deeds
in the Gospels. But since those Cos
pels are so particular TO mention pre-
cisely the relations sustained, reporting
conversations and acts in such detail as
to carry the full assurance that any"
thing so important as His marriage
could not possibly have been omitted
had there been any such fact; all these
records being, as we say, so perfectly
set forth. it is quite impossible for
any but the most depraved, stupid, and
concupiscont mind to even think of
such thing as the marriage of Jesus
Christ, or that He propagated offspring.
That, If true, would have been q tre-
mendous fact, that could not possibly
have escaped notoriety. 1t seems as
topisbing, indeed. that any one, lacking
all evidence, and in contravention OF
every known fact. should have the har-
dihood to go before an audience of
presumably intelligent persouS and give
utterance TO such a shocking sentiment.
II is, however, only another step In tho
aforetime blssphemous claim that Jesus
Christ married two or moro of the
women whose names appear III the Cos
pels in connection with His.
Ethnically, however, it is even more
absurd. There is not the slightest
probability, We may say without
stretching things at all, there Is not
the least possibility of the admixture
OF any Hebraic blood in the veins OF
Joseph Smith, Brigham Young, or any
other of the leaders of the Mormon
church. The idea runs diametrically
opposed to all ethnic ideas and TO all
biological possibilities So that Apostle
Rudger Clawson, besides being bias
phemous brute in making the suggestion
that he does, is also an ignoramous as
10 the lines of ethnic OF racial lineage.
It is a curious commentary upon the
ignorant and prejudiced rubbish so
often put forth by Mormon speakers,
that the suggestion above quoted by
Apostle Clawson and others like him
from time to time should be quietly
received as inspired talk by the people
TO whom it is delivered. One would
suppose that there would be revolt
against that sort Of thing by plous and
intelligent people, that would prevent
any one having the gall ever TO put it
forward again to any set of hearers.

Hopkins Seat In Peril
Chicago Record Herald,
:. I. + !.

Albert J. Hopkins faces the fight of
his life fer reelection 60 the United
States Senate from Illinois. This is the
belief Of group of sstutc Republican
leaders who will have much 10 do With
the control Of the Hlinois Legislature
at Springfield next January: ,r.
The senatorial situation III Illinois,
summarized by political leaders who
have paid more attention to senatorial
politics than to state or national is
sues in the late campaign, is about as
follows:
Senator Hopkins received plurality
OF the popular vote cast III the August
direct primary in thirty-three out of
fifty-one senatorial districts. Congress.
man George Edmund Foss received
plurality of sixteen. Former Senator
William E, Mason carried two.
RESULT IN DISTRICTS.
The thirty-three districts won by
Hopkins have elected sixtythree Soma
tors and Representatives, who will have
senatorial votes IN the new legislature.
The sixteen Foss districts chose forty
one Republican members Of the new gen-
eral assembly. Five OF the new NOM
favored the candidacy Of William e.
Mason.
Out of twenty holdover Republican
Senators, eight represent districts car
ried bv Hopkins, eleven are from Foss
districts and one is from a Mason soma,
torial bailiwick.
These figures, summarized. Indicate
upon their face total strength In the
Republican Joint caucus for Hopkins
Of Of :. g. for Fo'' of and for Mason
The surface conditions in the new leg
islature would indicate to the casual OBJ
server that Hopkins easily controls d
majority of the Republican joint eau
Gus and that his reelection is assured.
1t is this showing Of figures, however,
that has been responsible for the silent
manipulating which has been iu pro-
gress for several weeks and which at
this moment sends cold shivers down
the political spine Of the Hopkins fac
tion OF the federal organization in H.
hnois.
HOPKINS S ENEMIES MANY.
The political reason for this trepida,
tion among the Hopkins clans is that
Senator Hopkins probably has more
sincere enemies within the ranks of
the Republican organization than any
other conspicuous person in illinois pol
itics. Close Geutenants Of Richard
Yates have bean looking for finish
fight with Senator Hopkins for several
years. 1t is not believed that the state
administration is disposed to 90 out of
its way to lend him assistance. Ed
ward D. Shurtleff and his immediate
following in the house practically are
IN the open as anti Hopkins men and it
is their fortune TO represent districts
in the new legislature which were car.
ried on the popular vote by Foss.
The prime consideration is that q
total of 10S votes is necessary TO the
election OF a United States Senator On
joint. ballot Of the general assembly.
The lack of the 103 caused the famous
deadlock of 1885, when John A. Logan
eventually triumphed over William R.
Morrison. Fer three months in 1891
the legislature sat tight awaiting the
moment when John NJ. Palmer mustered
his deficient strength and secured the
necessary l03.

that Joseph Smith was prophet OF the

that Smoot pays the same respect and
tribute to Smith that he did to the 9TH

Senator Reed Smoot must be apparent
even to those who are not possessed
of sensitively discriminating minds, His
expressed belief concerning Joseph F.

the word OF God is delivered TO man

cause he announced unequivoeally that

It necessitated his self -expatriation.
Should Smith determine to deliver TO
Smoot "revclation." giving certain
personal directions to this United States
Senator, the apostles S ANNOUNCED belief
would compel him to obey that reve-

owes his highest allegiance. Should
Smoot entertain some suspicion that
