Among my people," he said, "the matter is exciting wide spread imerest. Oar people are naturally conservative and not easily aroused; but when they are, as witness tbe last State elec tion, tbey move as a mighty tor rent.

Crwfo-d and Small came s f er ttf.i got good locations Lmnt-v's uame was among the d, and he had to choose among i he fnw sea's left Congressman R berts' Daughter. R-preeotative Roberts, from TJiars, has one strong advocate in a woman bis daughter, Adah. She ts a bright girl, 20 years old, and acts as her father's sec retary Daring the Campaign in U ab she was bis aid in all things. iShe is now in Wasbington, and; has come out strongly against what she contends is the "unkind and inhuman treatment" her fa h-r has rceivtdin Washington. "R ght and justice are on his sidt-" in her opinion. Miss j Roberts does not think Gentiles have any right to assert that polygamy and Mormonism must neccessarily go hand in hand. Since pmral marriages have been declared illegal, "even in Utah," as 'he fair young girl puts it in defense of her father, "they are i-tao poe-ailal a.J""ttier af GXV that - settles the natter." It is very evident that Miss Roberts firmly believes that each of her father's wives is as fairly entitled to tbe name of wife as any married woman in this land because their marriage took place before polygamy was legal ly declared a crime. "The past," she says, "with its plural marriages was a good and loyal and legal as the present is without them." Who can blame this young wo man for the stand she takes? Her own mother is one of her fa ther's plural wive?, and some of ber father's children are not her mother's children. It can be readily seen why Miss Robsrt looks upon her father's oppon ents in Congress as "inhuman ' The light in which this de voted daughter puts the Roberts case shows more clearly than ever before what a curse poly gamy is. ROBERTS STOOD ASIDE Washington, Dec. 4. With surprising smoothness and ap parently with party unity, the organization of the Fifty-sixth Congress was perfected to-day. There was only one slight hitch in the day's proceedings. It was a preliminary skirmish that indi cated possible trouble over the determination of the Republi cans to keep Roberts, of Utah, out of his seat, but both sides were willing to-day to consent to his case going over till Wed nesday. Ex-Democratic Leader Bailey became restive and gave symp toms of a desire to lead a revolt against the adoption of the Reed rules, but his party failed to back him np and, after a little tilt, Bailey was bowled over and the Reed rules adopted. In the Senate the most con spicuous man was Senator Frye, who will be acting Vice-President, and in the House the new Speak er, Mr. Henderson, was the cen ter of attraction. . MR. BRYAN TALKS t0F ; NEXT CAMPAIGN DEMOCRATS ' WILL MAKE GAINS AMONG WAGE I EARNERS. ' Peop Have Rf aliz'dtha' Change in Administration is Neces say and the Single e andrd Yoke Will be Thrown Offi I Austin, Ttx , December 4. A special ft rn Galveston, where, the Hon. W J. Bryan is at pres ent, qu es him extensively on next ytar'3 campaign. Mr. Bryan states the democrats will make great gains next year amonr all classes ot people. 'These people coniprise the wage earner?,' . satttjtj inose who have been directly aff ected by the consolidation of the great manufacturing and producing concerns of the country common- y called trusts. In this class is enumerated day laborers, office men. drummers, etc. These are he people who will yote with he democrats next year. "With continuation of such an increase to our side for the next twelvemonths it will not be a question of can the Democrats win, inn Mt.oCT7 1 arLatr.e ru iJioitv. will be. I have no fear for the outcome. The recent elections to an unbiased mind plainly indi cate tbat the Democrats had the better of it in nearly all the states in which elections were held. In Ohio, Mr. McKinley's noma State, is the Democratic gain more clearly shown than those anywhere else except in Maryland and NeDraska. The vote given Jones was anti-Re publican, and had he not been in the race it most assuredly would have gone to M?L?ao. Next year with the present ratio of increase Ohio will go Democratic by a safe majority." "The Republicans would like to cover me with the glory of personally winning the fisfht in Nebraska. They would, if , pos sible, lead tbe people to believe that there were no issues in this election, and that I was so per sonally magnetic as to lead the people to the polls with nothing more that myself as an incentive. The truth of the matter is ihe people of Nebraska have awak ened. Tney real za that it is time that a change was made in the admiuistration of the &5 airs; of the governman and they pros pose to throw off the yoke of a single money standard, a militar ism and to check the avarice and greed that has almost become the objective of that party. And not only in Nebraska is this the case, but I find from both personal in vestigation and from those who are in a position to know that the people in many sections of other States heretofore strongly Republican have made up their minds to join the free silver forces next year." Rheumatism Cured in a Pay. "Mystic Cure" for Rheumatism and Neuralgia radically cures in 1 to 8 days. Its action .upon tbe system is remarkable and mysterious.

Reading of Message Announce ment of S nator-Eect Haywood's Dea h. SENATE Wasbington, Dec. 5. T. day's I session of the Senate lasted two brnr and forty minutes, practi calh the entire viJiJ,,n suao' d in the reading of the Pres dent's message. Tl e reading of the document was largely perfunctory, few of the Senators according it any attention. Some of them retired to t leir committee toonas to per sue the message at leisure, while 'i few followed the reading by the clerk. Mr. Turley (Tenn.), presented bis colleague, Mr. Bate, at the task of the President, and Presi dent Frye administered to Mr. Bate the oath of office. The announcement, of dath of Senator-elect Monroe L. Hay ward, of Nebraska, was received by the Senate with sincere res gret. Although he was not of ficially a member of the body, he was well known to many of the Senators and by them was held in high regard. At the conclusion of the read ing of the message, tbe Senate adopted resolutions of regret pre sented by Senator Thurston, of Nebraska, and as a mark of re spect adjourned immediately. ' HOUSE. .. Washington, Dsc. 5. Among the bills introduced in the House today was one by Mr. Elliott (S. C.) for an investigation of the cause of yellow fever. Representatvive Tawney, of Minnesota, today introduced in the House a resolution for the creation of a committee of seven teen members to be known as tbe "Committee on insular Affairs," to have jurisdiction over 'affairs concerning insular territory, ac quired or occupied, under trea y with Spain on December 10 r , 1893, inc'uding the Island of Tui uila, Sim oa " Representative Corllip, of Michigan, t a introduced a bill for a Pacific cable, to be built by tbe Government to Hawaii, the Philippines, Japan and China, at a Hum ,f oost of $8,000,000 of which $500,000 is to be immedi Ately available. m m Seasickness is given as the cause of death of Judge John R. Putnam. of the Appellate division of the New- York Supreme Court, who died on a steamship just outside of Hong Kong. The Judge was on his way to Manila to visit his son. a soldier in our army. George C. Musgrave, who assist ed m the rescue of Evangelina Cis neros by the New York Journal in the fall of 1897, says in his new book about Cuba that Paul Decker, who was the head of the enterprise; f ormulated a plan during the winter to rescue Captain Dreyfus from Devil's Island in a way which it is believed would have avoided inter national complications, but that the Maine disaster and what followed put an end to all consideration of the scheme. The Methodist church South, which entered Cuba immediately it was possible for any one to do so, and which has congregations in Ma tanzas, Santa Clara, Cienfuegos, and is about to start a mission in Pinar del Rio, has been planning to erect a great Methodist church in Havana. Bishop Candler has had the matter in charge,and has raised about $30, 000 toward the purchase of site and erection of building. An option was held upon a certain well located plot, but before the option expired a saloon man bought the property and put np a place of business. The Rev. George N. McDonnell, with two as sistants; has a promising congrega tion in Havana. Protest has been made to government officials con cerning the ignoring of the option. M'KINLEY'S MESSAGE. ItDals With Nearly Ev y Is euv Now Before th- Am ri- can People. Washington, D. C, Dec. 5 The lessage of President Mc Kinicy, read in Congress to day, dealt with more important mat- tens . . t years. Its salient phases are as follows: It shows a deficit of the Treas ury of $89,111,559.67. It admits the need of more primary money. It recommends, more power for National Banks. Advises the support of the "existing gold standard" by the sale of bonds and the redemption of greenbacks to be paid out again only for gold. It favors the passage of the Hanna-Payne ship subsidy bill. It deals with the trust evil and recommends nothing save delay. It endorses the Isthmian Canal project. Recommends the passage of a federal criminal law to punish the lynching of the foreigners. Deals in generalities only with regard to Cuba. It advises, inferentially, that the Philippines be held, but makes no specific recommenda tion as to government. " - It declares that the treaty with the Sultan "of Sulu was not a re cognition of slavery and ' says it provides that freedom may be purchased "by paying the market value." "Clemency" is promised to the insurgents . in the Philippines. It recommends that Hawaii be made a judicial district and that a temporary government for Por to Rico be provided. It defends the famous civil ser vice order. - Recommends the observance of Washington's anniversary. Without explanation, particular ization or diagram the Boston Globe puts out tnis editorially: "It is an error to style Harper & Bros, the greatest publishing house in the United States. The greatest publish ing house in the United States is lo cated here in Boston." A recent police order in Chicago prohibits freak advertising in tne streets. To one man arrested, dress -ed as an Irish knight of olden times and bearing a tin shield with an ad vertisement upon it, a police captain said: 'Why, that rig would make an automobile balk. It shall not be per mitted." At presidential receptions and the like Admiral Dewey walks or waltzes ahead of Oeneral Miles. This great point has agitated ad ministration circles a long time, and it has been settled against Miles, who is out of favor, and in favor of Dewey who has come into favor s nce he declined to be a president ial aspirant. Steven E. Burch, who got a job as a hired hand on the farm of Pet er Green wait, near Huron, Kan.,and then eloped with the farmer's come ly daughter, turned out to be a young Missourian of some wealth and so cial prominence, who chose this means of finding just the wife he wanted. He has written to his new father-in-law saying that his search was a long one, but has been amply rewarded. Edward Murphy, who was a gun ner's mate on the Olympia at Ma nila, lost his ticket to San Francisco when he reached Chicago, but in stead of appealing to Secretary Long wrote to Admiral Dewey, who sent him $20 and caused a new ticket to be forwarded by the Navy Depart ment. Murphy declined to resume his journey on Thanksgiving Day, because, he said: VI haven't eaten a Thanksgiving dinner on solid ground in thirty-five years." -..v. FEOKRAL ANTI TRUST LAW. OnlyM asur- rf This Kind he Nh r man Act, Says G ig s Washington, Dec. 5. Attorney General Griggs in his annual re port to Congreas, reviews the work of the Department during the year and then says that ap plication is occasionally made to have legal proceedings brought in the name of the United States against corporations or combina tions of companies that are al leged to be engaged in forming or maintaining monopolies or agree ments in restraints of trade or competition. "Such actions," the Attorney General says, "can be maintained, only when the offense comes with in the scope of the Federal satute. The only Federal legis lation against combinations in restraint of trade is contained in the so-called Sherman Act. "The Government has no con stitutional right to supervise, direct or interfere with the trans action of ordinary business by the people of the several States unless such business relates di rectly, and not acidentally, to inter-State commerce, and such has been the decision . of the Su preme Court of the United States. "In all cases where the facts presented to the Attorney Gen eral, capable of legal proof, have established satisfactorily such an agreement or combination in. re straint of inter State commerce as is contemplated by the Sher man Act, legal proceedings have been taken by him in the name of the United States either to dis solve the combination or to pun ish the offenders by indictment." The Attorney General recom mends increase of salaries of Supreme Court Justices to 20, 000 a year and of the district judges to 7,500 a year. If Roberts is refused a seat be cause of too many wives, what shall logically be said o f Mr. McKinley's polygamous appointments to office? The New York Sun has obtained an injunction restraining its strik ing printers from boycotting the pa per. The case will be heard on its merits later. A large concern at Wilmington Del., has closed a contract to build one hundred trolley cars to be used on the roads under construction in and around the Paris Exposition grounds. James Eads How, of St Louis, who attracted attention some time ago by refusing to accept a fortune esti mated to be worth -$1,000,000 because he had not earned it with his own labors,bas given 2.000 to be expend- ea ior tiie poor in i iat city. Dr. Isaac G. Smedley. a disting uished homeopathic physician of Philadelphia, whs killed Friday af ternoon while Mttempting to board a moving Pennsylvania railroad train. ., The "400" of New York have ad vanced from a hunt of the auise bag to a hunt of a live deer. They will yet work up to a real live fox, and then they will be thoroughly Eng lish, doncher know. When Quay is seated the govern or of Utah will at once fill a vacancy that the legislature of that State re fused to fill, and the nominee will probably be Brother George Q. Can non, who has more wives several times over than Roberts. The moral and social issue will then be put up to the Senate. General Henderson is one of the very few men since the days of Clay who was called to his first election as Speaker of the House by the spontaneous action of his party. There were half a score of able and experienced men ambitious to suc ceed Speaker Reed, but the drift of public sentiment became so strong in favor of General Henderson that all of his competitors voluntarily re tired, and many months before the meeting of Congress, he was accord ed the Speaker's chair by general consent.
