Typical Mormon,
The 9on. Brigham Harem
Roberts, v as he appears before
the House cominittee investi
gating his polygamy, is not an
edifying spectacle. He is dodg
ing the issue. He refused to go
on the stand as a witness, and he
will not own up to Louisa, No.
1, and his six .children by her,
nor to Celia Dibble, No; 2, and
that pair of twins and those four
other children, nor to his mar
riage with Dr. Maggie C Shipp,
No. 3. It is bad enough to have
three wives, but it is worse, hav
them, hot to own them, and
stand by them. Mormonism is a
sneaking, snaky, slippery,
treacherous business. Take it
away. Take Roberts away.

Then and Now.
It was only two years ago last
March that Grover Cleveland
left the presidency. William
McKinley succeeded him.
The two men are in essential
respects not only different but
almost antipodal.
Their policies and administra
tions, therefore, stand in striking
contrast to each other in many
respects.
A glance at the expense of the
government during the last year
of the last Cleveland administra
tion and the estimated expendi
tures under the present year of
the McKinley administration i&
