POLYGAMY AGAIN
DISCUSED IN SENATE
(By Asso'ctated ProSs.}
?WASHINGTON, February 7.?Tho^slalc*
hood bill again to-day claimed the great
er-part of tho Sennto's attontion. Mr.
Kean contimied, but dld not concludo hls
?peech on that subject, and towards tho
rJ->se of the day there was a general
detiato on the allegatlon of the opposl
tlon to the bill that It dose not -ontaln
BUfllcient safeguards agalnst polygfmy,
A. largo number of bills, to whlch there
was no objectlon, w> rc passed durlng the
day.
Mr. Morgan again ca'led up hls reso?

department concernlng the movuments

Colomblan waters durlng the paS year,

had gono to the calcndar, under the
rules. He claimed that, notwlthstanu.ng
the rcsol'ition was bufore tho Senate,
md he pleaded for n vote upon it, say?
ing that he wanted the Informatlon
asked for, ,and that the world wanted It.
whether tho Senate wanted lt or not.
He claimed that undue prcssure* had been
used ln mspoBlnjr of the resolutlon.
By unantmous consent tbe resolutlon
was taken up and a vote was taken on
Mr. Hale's motion to refer to the Corn
inlttuo on Naval Affalrs Tho motion pr?*
v-allcd by a" strlct party voto of 31 tn IS
The resolutlon was, thereforc, referred,
and when Mr Morgan complalned that

mittee. Mr. Halo replled that lt would
not be favorably reported in 113 present

NOT WELL FOUNDEP
In the course of his remarks, Mr. Kean
read from a bock of tr.ivel bv a German
author to show that polygamy now exists
in the Mormon Church In tho Republle
of Mexico. und thn fact was eommentetl
upon by Messrs. Beverldge, Spooner, and
Depew, as going to show th?t tho conj
tentlon that polygamy had hoc-n abolished
ls not well foundod. Mr. Spooner asked
Mr. Rawlins whether the rcvelatlon for
ibolltion had covercd Mexico
Mr. Rawllns referrerl hlm to tlm dncu
raents, saying he dld not caro to put
my construction upon them, but Mr.
Hoar remarke.d that "pnssibly tho revo
!ator had not been ablo to speak Span
Ish ?"
Mr Rawllns adde-d later, that as he
recallecl Proside.nt Snow's proclamailon
Jorbldding polygamy. it had served th?
Uormon Church throughout tho world,
Mr. Depew-read thu proclamat ion to
?how polygamy aad only "been sw
"Dcrruled-" and not prohlbitcd. llo thought
mother revelatlon from tho Mormon
Church shf-ild be fonhcomhig.
"If tho Senator wants un authorltatlve
(tatement in the Senate, ho may have all
als doubts removed next session, when
:hc new Scnator from irtah takes hlst
teat," remarked Mr. Bacon.
"That." replled Mr. Dcpew. "is tha
only armiment that I havo heard for tho
admission of a Mormon to tho Senate."
Mr. Teller expressed the oplnion, that,
notwtthstandlng tho declaration of the
book quoted. polygamy does not exist
among the Mormons in Jlcxico. He did
not beiieve the people 0: tho prlests of
that country would tolprate the practice.
Ho addfd that It was hls conv'ctlon that
the question of polygamy ls entlrely for
p.ign to the subject of statehood. He went
on to say that the questlon was a mere
bugaboo, which h.td been brought in
only for the further delav.
NO TRIFLING MATTER.
<i .J*=?..^Spooner took issue with the last
Titatemeot, and urg.:-d the lmportarxe of
the subject. "With mo it ls no trim'rig
matter," he-said; "no mere questlon of
delay, apof when.-'we are told here that
the Mortnon Church opnlrols electlons !'n
a State now in the Union I tti'lnk we
must admit that Stato was not prepared
for admission." 1
He me-ant to refer to these rnatters in
the future, and he hoped that he would
not bo chargod with filfbusterlng.
Replylng, Mr. Teller contended that the
few Mormons In Arlzona would not be
oapable 0: controlllng electlons there.
Bo small a ronslderatlon should not, he
contended. stand ln the. rvay of a proviso
mado in tho treat;- of Guadaloupe Hld
s,lgo to admit as Statea tho territory ac
quired from Mexico.
Mr, Spooner said that as long as the
bill had been pending. Mr. Teller was
lhe first to break silence ou tho Deroo
cratlc slde of the chamber.
Replying. Mr. Teller said the reason
why the Democrats had not spokeu waa
iound ln the fact that they oid not want
to assibt in the delay, whlch he believed
hiwl been "preconcerted, prearranBed and
titudiously followtd" by what he be?
lieved to be tho mlnorlty ln the Senate.
Tlie Senate then went Into executive

One Hundred Years Ago.
A newspaper in the early part of tho
last century-that is to eay, durlng tho
tlme that, Thomas Jefferson *was Presl
dont?could bo establlshed upon tho
sllghtest provocation and conducted for a
long ? time on small capltal. It la
said that ono, thousand dotlara waa
amply sufflclent to etart a daily
here. An offlce could De rented
for ave dollars a month. Only one large
room was requlred for tlie newspaper.
In the front there waa the offlce of tho
man who now would bo called owner.
edltor, buslness manager nnd tbe head of
every department undor hlm. Thls offlce
was a rudely constructed aiTalr, hardly
as large as a cell In the clty jail. Thero
was back of thls the prlnting room,
whlch was cut off from the edltorlal
department by cheap lattlce work. In
the mechanlcal dlvlslon of the establlsh
ment thero were a few ca.ses of type,
a hand-press and "the devll." Thls latter
personago acted as Coreman and manager
of the circulatlon department. The "boss"
ln the front room\ was tho politlclan and
tho man who handled tho cash
When tlio circulatlon renched 500 Uie
owner of tho paper owned the earth, and
especlally the politicians thnt walked
upon that soil. ?
Changes ofTime.
Could old "Father" Rltchlo riso up out
of hls gravo In Hollywood and walk lnto
a modern newspaper offlco In Rlehmond,
he \vould havo to be introduced to each
department of the great establishment
Just as would any pevson now llvlng- who
does not Jcnow how a. nowspa.per ls made.
"Father" Rltchle was the most colebrated
edltor Rlehmond ever had. He founded
the Ehquirer and for years was Its
edltor. The cxpenses of that paper were
not as great as those of the reportorlal
department of the Times-Dlspatch. Yet
"Father" Rltchlo. great and good man,
was tho mCst powerfui Ogure In his polltl
cal party. lt was not so much what the
Enqulrer would say as what "Father"
Ritchie liad to say. Farmers down ln
Now Kcnt, Charles Clty, and, ln fact,
iu all countles ln V Irglnla, used to gather
at tho cross-roads store on mai) day3
and w'alt for tho Enqulrer. When that
very valuable publlcatlon dld arrlve lt
contained" some of the "sauclest" edl
torlais that ever were written. The local
news ln Rlehmond was given briefly.
News from outsldo the clty often was
wceks old, and happenlngs In Europe
were prlnted three or four months al',.er
the events had oecurred.
But, no matter what "Father" Rltchle
sald. to use a latter-day expression, "lt
wont" with his polltical follbwers and
they would stand up or, if need be, (all
down Ughtlng to support hls vlows, His
polltical edltorials were the law and the
gospel to those who belleved with him.
If lt wore possiblc for "Father"
Rltchle, John M. Daniel, Alexander
Moseley. Robert Rldgeway. Patrlck
Henry Aylott, Henry Rlves Pollard,
James A. Cowardlri and ?ven Henry
K. Ellyson and Hlchard BV Belrne, to
drop tnto a nows paper offlce in Rleh?
mond now they would marvel at the
most remarkable transformation they
ever lmaglned, or dreamed of. Mr. El
Iyson was probably the most successfu]
buslness manager any newspaper ln
Rlehmond ever had. The late James A.
Cdwardin, once sald of hlm that the Dls
patch owed Its success not to tho head
of the edltorlal department, but to him
who prestded over the countlng room.
Mr. Ellyson, whose s%*nted memory ls
revered by newspaper uien everywhere
he was known, has not passed from us
but ten years. But durlng hls llfe tlme
and up to Uie end of his long and use
ful career, lt was regarded as a thlng
out of the ordlnary to get out a paper
of slx pages on week-days and twelve
on fiunda-ys.

In these days there must be

a candldate for office that asplrant for
polltical honors could start a paper, act
as cdltor and upon small capital "ralse
Cain" for a few months, and sometlmes
for years. Now, lt requires a fortuno' to
install a modern plar.t. In those good

Newspaper Graveyard.
Rlchmond has been noterj as being a
newspaper graveyard. More joumals of
natlonal fame have been burled here
than ln any clty of llke slzr.- in the coun?
try. Tlie old Enqulrer, started ln the
early partyof the nineteenth century, h'd
natlonal, lf not, world wlde fame, The
Examlnor. whlch, by tho way, was pub
lished before the Enqulrer, but wa^ sus
pended and afterwards revived, had
hardly a lesser distlnctlon when con
ducted by that great genlus. John M.
Danlel. The "Whlg was o. power, and
Rldgway. Moseley and Elam were cdit
ors of natlonal reputatlon. The Con.pller
was a great paper ln its day. In recent
years we have seen tho State and the
Star disappear from the field. The
Stato for several jiears had a most pros
perous career. John Hampden Chamber
layne, a man of remarkable ab'llty as
an editorial wrlter, and a prudent busl?
ness man founded it. Soon Lhere was
aseoclatcd with hlm that rnan beloved
of all true Vlrginlar.s, Riehard F. Belrne.
Under thelr control and under the own
ershlp of Colonel Belrne, after the un
tlmely death of Captain Chamberlayne.
tho State flourished. It had eerved i's
day and generatlon. however, and went
the way of many other most respoctc-d
Journals. The Star was ehort-llved. It
was an excellent newspaper, and most
worthy gentlemen were Its pubishei'S,
but thelr efforts wero not rewarded.
Seven Dailies Were Here.
' After the Clvil War there wero for a
short perlod as many as seven morning
papers publlshed ln Rlchmond. They were
the Dlspatch, Times, Esamlner, Enqulrer,
Sentinel, The Republic ana Whig. Just
thlnk of itl Seven morning newspapers
and not one of them givlng one twentleth
part of the news that la now prlnted in
a dally paper here! But, then, a news?
paper could survtre for a reasonable
lengtb of tlme On comparatlvely small
capital. Steam-power presses had ah'eudy
come lnto use, but later ou came the
gl&nt machlnes that aro now ln usa, anfl,
subseejuently, the typesettlng maohlnos.
The Times was not the papor whlch
was recently^coneolldated with the Dls?
patch. It waa known ns thu "Rlchmond
Times." When the Tlrnes was emablithed
ln ISStS lt had to drop lhe name "Rich
mond" for the Dlspatch bought out the
"Rlchmond Tlrnea" yeara before "The
Tlmes" was founded,
Not long after the war the Republio,
the Sentinel; the Exammer and the En?
qulrer all went out of existence. T/ie
Whlg, for -a tlme, had to e^ispend,
but was ravlved, and for many yoara lt
was th8 only rlval of the Dlspatch In the
morning neld. Tho Dlspatch and the
Whlg had plaln ealllng und a clear fleld
lrom away back In tha eeventles itintll
the Times was eatabllshed in HSB, fao
l
thera were for a few years three morn?
lng papers here. The Whlg; v.-ont out of
ej-lstence ln 1SS0. It had enjoyr.d a lorg
and a prosperous career. Under .tho cdt
torlal managsme-nt of John Hampden
Pleasants, Moseley, Ridjeway and Elain
tho Wbtg had, at vaxious times. prospei
ed. Its career waa almost us long ai
that of tlie Enqulrer and the Examiner.
The 'Whig, during its lattt-r years. was
conducted by Judge A. W. Ndwlln, a
most excellent gentleman, a brllllant and
a fearlcss writer, Richrnond. however,
could not support three moming papers
for tho cost of prc-duction was constant*
ly Increasing and the Whi? was the one
that flrst had to" suspend publlcatlon.
Newspaper Expansion.
Newspapers havo cxparided and they
havo, lf the term may be approprlately
used, "evolutlonlzed" more rapldly than
has the country etowii and expanded.
At the tlmo I have betn speaklng of
new SUttea?Kentucky, Tenncssee, Ohio
and others were belng taken lnto the'
Union. A little more money was belng
requlred every year to run a newspaper.
New type was comlng lnto use. The
luimbering Etage coach was making long?
er trlps. The Rlehmond paper was go
Ing out lnto what had a few years be?
fore been a wilderness. ln Lhe early
days for a Rlehmond paper to reach Tay
lorsville, ln Hanover, on the day of pub
llcation was a thlng of marvel. La
ter on, when rallioads came lnto exls
tence. the papers actually got to Frcd
erlcksburg or Loulsa Courtliouse on the
day of publlcatlon.
Modern Machlnery.
Suppose. John 51. Daniel, who next to
Ritchle, was perliaps the most famous
edltor Rlehmond ever had. were per
mltted to y.'alk lnto a modern Vlrginin
newspaper ufilce, ho wcnld, to say the
least, not feel at home. lt should be
remembered. too, that John M, Daniel
has not been dead so very many yeara.
There are thousands llv'ng who recal!

would see a rnachine such as ho nor
"Father" Rltohie nor any of thoso great
editors of fornier days ever dreamed
could be constructed, dashing off I2,09<i

see histead of a four-pajfo paper, one or
a dozen pases on week days and thlrty
slx or forty pages on Sundays. Ho would
see the prlnts .made in colom-a thlng
that not even the fertile imaglnatlon of
John M. Daniel could ever havo con
celved of. Then. too, he would look
upon one of the most marvelously con?
structed lnvontlons the mind of man has
ever concelved. Ho would see tho type

constructed ever made. It was a sad
day, to bo true, v.-hei? the old prlnter.

Strong Combinalion.
Tho Tlmes and the Dlspatch remainofl
^roru IfSO up to a few woeke ago as the
only mornlng papers prlntetl in Richniond.
Recently these two papers have combined
forces and Intorests and ar?, seeklng to
glve to thelr rtadors the best newspaper
ever published ln the South. How well
thls rnovement Js 6uqceedliig |s evldenced
by the favor wlth whloh the Times-Dls
patch Is everywhere recelved. Instead of
subsoriblng to seven daily newspapers,
as was the caeo of many soon after the
war, a -person oan got all the. news prlnt
od oaoh momlne ln tho papeV, and he
wlll get more new* than .all seven of
