TWO STATES IN SIGHT Some Good Figures Indicating Coming Democratic Victories in New York and Virginia. Business Men Meet in New York City and Eatify Got. Hill's Candidacy. Fears Expressed That Mahone May Possibly Capture the Virginia Legislature. Eozeman, Mont., Offlclal3 Will Seek a Vindication—A Democrat Leading in Dubuque. Guessintr on Mill's Majority. Special to the Globe. New York, Oct. 31.— Granting that i Gov. Hill and the other state candidates are supported in entire good faith by all of the elements of his party and the probable di mensions of their vote become an interesting tonic for speculation. A prominent Deuio crat of New .York, who has been conspic uously identified with local and state poli tics for a quarter of a century, and who has a reputation for good pre-election guessing, lias furnished the Globe correspondent with these figures: Total registration, 210,000; deduct 10 per cent, for absentees, 31.600, leaves a probable aggregate of 194.400. The largest ReDub licaii vote ever polled in New York city at a gubernatorial election was 60,000; an in crease of 10,000 is allowed Davenport, which is claimed to be much larger than is indicated by the registration. The figures then stand: Total vote, 194.000; Hill, 133, -200; Davenport 70.000; Prohibition and Greenback^ :2,000; Hill over Davenport, 52, -200. The same authority estimates Hill's excels over Davenport in Brooklyn at S,OOO, making the aggregate majority for the former in the two cities 62,200, which elects him by about twenty thousand. This is rather a rose-colored view of the situation, but it is shown by the register. John Kellv. the Tammany saehenf, stakes his KEPUTATIOX AS A POLITICAL, PKOPHET upon the approximate correctness of the figures below. Total vote, 192,000; Hill, 1-14.000; Davenport, 08,000: exsess for !lili -50,000. Mr. Keilly, as will be observed, leaves the Greenback and Prohibition tick ets entirely out of his calculation. The Butler and St. John vote in the city last year \v;;s only only ;.:,...). and the estimate of - ■_... made by the first authority quoted will certainly prove a liberal one. At tho Republican ' headquarters Hill is not conceded lore than 30,000 majority in New York city and 50,000 in Brooklyn, and the Democrat claims are scouted* as preposterous. li is pointed cut that Hancock carried the city by only 41, on;) and Cleveland by only 43.000, when the full v»tcs were polled, and that, leaving the tidal wave of L&S'J out of consideration, no such majority as is now predicted for Hill has been received by any candidate for president or governor in many years. In Brooklyn, which was the Mugwump storm center last, year, the existing complications are numerous and bewildering. Cleveland carried Kings county by an excess of 15,748 over aine; and in 1880 Hancock's plurality was 9,311. INDEPENDENT VOTING IS MUCH IX VOGUE in Brooklyn, and there is no community in the '•ountry in which dividing lines between parties are so indistinct. Mr. Cleveland's majority was largely due to the efforts of Hi-inV Ward Beecbex, whose influence is stills/potent factor in the politics of Brook lyn. ' This year Mr. Beecher is supporting the Davenport ticket with considera ble vigor, and so also are most of the prominent gentlemen who acted with him l as year. At an early stage in cam paign there was quite a thriving colony of Democratic mugwumps across the bridge, but Foraker's bloody shirt speeches and as saults upon the administration have almost decimated its ranks. However, it is con ceded that Gov. Hill will not poll the aver age Democratic vote in Brooklyn. Democratic iSatil'tcaiion.

Cole, vice president of thepro chanj c, ! resided. After resolutions approving the national and state ad ministrations were adopted, Gov. Ab bett of Sew Jersey made a speech, and was followed by Gov.

The Bozeman Chronicle on .% will contain complete answers to the cluirges made above the signatures of the officers charged with crime, and who will al-o ask that they be arrested in order to be vindicated. Thedocumeni lias acted as a 1 rang, and it is already said that the B ame officers will be nominated next fall to show that the people are not in sympathy with such underhanded and malicious pro ceedings.

Washington, Oct. 31. — Congressman I McMlllin, who has just returned from & campaigning tour in Virginia, said that , everything in that state points to a Demo cratic victory. ••I fool sure," he said, "that Lee will be elected by a majority two or three times larger than that given for Cleveland. I think : the Democrats are sure of a majority ou a joint ! ballot in the legislature. There is fear that j Mahone may get a bare majority in tho lower house, and that he would then, by meaus of contests, unseat enough Democrats to ena ble him to control the legislature. But Ido not see any reason to fear the result. Wher ever I weut the Democrats seemed to be thor oughly aroused." When asked if the Democrats would get any portion of the colored vote, Mr. Mc- Millin replied: Yes, they will in some localities. Now I spoke in Mahone's native county. It is Re -1 publican, but tbe Democrats will carry it this time. In tho procession which met Gen. i Lee there were 200 colored voters bear- I ing Democratic badges, who are earnestly ; supporting tho Detaocratic tioket They have i learned by experience that the Democrats are • their best friends. In other localities the Democrats have not mado any inroad at all upon the colored vote, but there is a feeling of political indifference pervading tho race which will show itself at the polls next Tues day. The Administration Will Vote. Washington, Oct. 31. — Secretary Man- I ning left Washington this morning for Al ! bany, N. V., for the purpose of voting. He | will probably make a short stop in New j York, and expects to return to Washington Thursday morning. Col.

All Hasli Him. The daughter of a Boston merchant of great wealth, wide mercantile connections and boundless hospitality, was lately mar ried. The western agent of the merchant happened to be in town, and. as the proud father was inviting about everybody to his daughter's wedding, he invited the West erner too. The Westerner came. Ho was uneasy and shifted about from place to place iv the house as if he were hunting for spots that fitted him lwtter than those he had been in. He put his hands nonchalantly on tilings and ;ook them olf again suddenly, as if he found them hot and grinned familiarly at people he hsd never seen before, and then suddenly drew his features back with a ghastly solemnity. It seemed to be an oc casion ot great and overwhelming novelty to him. V*' hen the refreshments came around he was inclined to tight shy of pretty nearly everything. It was us if he proposed to take on a little Boston formality, now that he was in Boston, aud require an introduc tion to every dish. His host saw that he wasn't eatulg much and came round to see about it. •'Why, you aren't eatinc anythiug, Mr. West, "said he, "can't I help you to souie thing?" ••No. I thank you." said the Westerner, "1 aint very hungry to-night. I reckon I've eat enough.' 1 Just then a waiter came along with some J croquettes. "Mr. West, take one of those croquettes: I Chink you'll like them: take one, take one." The Westerner took one. He punched it with his fork, laid it open a bit, and ex amined it critically. Theu he tasted it aud exclaimed. "Gosh! Hash!"— Boston Eecord. A TOcClellan Monument.

A Ruler TV anted for the Congo State -"Engllsli Flax Spinners Coining to America. The Chains That Bound Columbus Foun«l--l>evelopnients In tlie Car dlual's Scandal. Old World Affairs. London, Oct. 31. — The coming election continues to occupy almost the entire at | tention in England. The dissolution of parliament is at last announced for Nov. 18, and the election will begin the following week. The chief contest on the platforms is still not between the Tories and the Lib i erals, but between the two sections of the Liberal party. Little has been done to ward composing the quarrel of the Radicals aud the moderate Liberals. Sir Charles Dilke on Wednesday renewed his attack on Mr. Goschen. Mr. Chamberlain, on the same day, issued a curt electoral address, saying in substance, "I am Chamberlain; vote for me." But he found room in this brief document for a direct allusion to Mr. Goschen as hav insj unsuccessfully resisted the extension of labebers 1 liberties, and as now trying to stereotype the Liberal creed so as to pre vent further reforms. Sir Charles Dilke, however, insists that the agreement among .Liberal leaders respecting an immediate program is complete. Here the emphasis is on "immediate." He himself contributed something to it by minimising the Radical demands for compulsory power of munici palities to acquire lands for allotments among laborers. This concession is ap parently due to Lord Hartingten's express declaration that Mr. Gladstone disapproved of the allotment schemo in its radical origi nal form. That is Lord Piartington's one explicit contribution to the discussion. He Confines himself on other points to saying that he is not prepared TO FOLLOW RADICAL LEAD at present. He condemns in theory Mr. Chamberlain's socialistic schemes, denies that they make part of the existing Liberal creed, but holds that his mind is open. Moderate Liberals, who looked for an out spoken assertion of their own views, are again disappointed. Neither in his public address to his constituents nor in his speech last night does Lord ilartington meet that reasonable expectation. The Liberals con tinue to exercise almost an unchecked leadership of public opinion, if not in the councils of the party. One result is that so good a Liberal as Edward Dicey publishes an elaborate article in the Nineteenth Century for November ad vising moderate Liberals to stump for Tory candidates. The advice is bad, but signs multiply that many will follow it, especial ly middle-class voters in the boroughs. No prediction, however, is worth much till Mr. Gladstone, whose health is perfect, has been heard from. The Tory canvass is conducted with the utmost vigor. Utter discourage ment has seized on everybody except Lord Randolph Churchill, whose speeches at Birmingham abound in point, vigor and freshness, albeit his contest for that seat is hopeless. Quite tho most CHEEBING SIGN OF LIBERAL UXITY is the reconciliation between Mr. Foster and the Bradford Liberal association on terms honorable to both. The Radicals abandon their opposition to the Liberal candidate, who is prevented by illness from canvass ing. Mr. Foster adheres, as always, to four chief points in Mr. Gladstone's manifesto, aud reserves absolute independence on other subjects. Discussions continue on various topics not really at issue in this campaign. Churchmen per sist in defending the establishment, though Mr. Chamberlain himself excludes dises tablishmenl from the topics with which the next parliament will deal. Lord Roseberry, in a brilliant speeoh at Wrexham, brought forward a detailed scheme for reform of the house of lords, which Mr. Morley, the next day, declared the Radicals weuld have none of. The Irish question is avoided on all sides. The Tories refuse to set any limits to the possibilities of concession. The Radicals draw the line at separation, but avoid discussion. Boycotting thrives AND BESTS CONTINUE UNPAID. Lord Spencer in aa expressive speech ex- Dressess his belief that the intimidation now excels anything previously known. The papers aro tilled with detailed narra tives by victims. There is little if any change in the posi tion of affairs in the Balkans. The con ference has begun work at Constantinople. Tho Servians, ordered to keep quiet, obey.* Everything points to an understanding on the whole question between the emperors. Lord Salisbury has apparently thrown over the treaty of Berlin for nothing, and will have to look on while Bulgaria is again di vided. It is believed that he has persuaded France and Italy to act with England. All three aro expected to withdraw from the conference unless some compromise is ac cepted by Russia, whose present ascendency is complete. Vienna dispatches represent the Greeks as excited and warlike, but no body supposes that hostilities will occur anywhere while the conference is sitting. The Times publishes a summary of the Anglo-Turkish convention respecting Egypt that is undoubtedly authentic. Turkey im plicitly sanctions the ENGLISH OCCUPATION OF EGYPT. England recognizes Turkish suzerainty; two commissioners one Turkish and one English, are to bo appointed with powers which amount to a general right of super vision of the khedive's administration. The English occupation is to continue until these two commissioners agree to order a restora tion of the khedive's authority, and the in dicated frontier is defined. Then they will report to their governments, who will con sider what ought to be done next. This advises evacuation by the Greek kohlends. It is doubted in Cairo whether the sultan will ever appoint a com missioner to execute the convention, but Sir Drummond AVolil's diplomatic success is couceded. Mr. Huxley's resignation of the presi dency of the Royal society, resolved on long since, is now announced. I regret to say i that his health shows little sign of improve ment. Still he performs certain routine duties, attends the council of the Royal so ciety and supervises the South Kensington studies, but he has practically withdrawn from all serious work. Prof. Stokes suc i ceeds to the presidency. The Constantinople Conference. London, Nov. 1. — Dispatches from Con stantinople to-night state very positively I that Prime Minister Salisbury has explicitly j instructed the English represen | tative at the conference to in- I sist for England upon the continuance ! of the union of Bulgaria and Roumelia i under Prince Alexander. The dispatches j also state the French delegate has received ! identical instructions from his government i v.-itii those sent to the Engiish I delegate on the main points of the controversy, and that Russia had ordered its delegate to oppose the Bul garian union, and to insist upon the deposi tion of Prince Alexander. Russia, Germany and Austria will decline 'to discuss the situation upon I the only basis acceptable to England, Franca | and Italy, while those three nations will ! not discuss on the basis demanded by the empire.*, Russia, Germany and Aiistria. | Hence THE CONFERENCE ADJOUKSS BAEP.EN I and the whole question will be relegated' j to Turkey, which tried to escape it by I throwing it onto the conference. Turkey , will not know which way to turn, for, if I she tries to depose Alexander and disunite j Bulgaria and Kouaielia, she will be acting ', contrary to the declared policy of England and her two partners, while if sho i allows the Union to continue, she will be opposing the wishes of Russia and her sister empires, wad, if Turkey remains inactive, no foresight can discern > j the Importance of the outcome of the con- ! I tinuance of Prince Alexander's ascendancy, j The chances are that Turkey, unless driven j by self-defense to tight the re- j bellious states, will remain inactive, j ! and allow the Balkan mine to continue | j being charged with political dynamite until I the inevitable explosion rends Europe. Leopold and tUe Congo State. London, Nov. 1. — King Leopold, it is reported, has already found the Congo free state a more expense than ho can carry on unaided. His recent visit to Wiesbaden was more, it is said, for the purpose of inducing some one of the German princes to assume the sov ereignty of the Congo country in his stead. He has not, however, secured the desired substitute, and this fact is attributed to Bismarck's opposition to having the German princes saddled with the weight which King Leopold, with all his enthusiasm, finds himself unable to carry. Coming to America. London, Oct. 31.— The depression in the flax spinning trade is very great. The mills engaged in this industry in Leeds, and which employ 3.00& operatives, are threat ened «f closure on account of this depression, which has also decided a great number of the English capitalist*, engaged in flax spinning, to close out their investments in that line in Great Britain and transfer them to the United Stated. These capitalists frankly state that their reasons for doing this is to secure the benefits of the protection afforded by the American tariff laws, and escapes the ruin ous competition to which they are sub jected iv the free trade policy of Eng land. Since Germany adopted the policy of stimulating her indus tries, her merchants have astonished Europe by their enterprise and sagacity. German competition is already cutting deep into even the screw making trade of Birmingham. Sonic Relics Found. Eome, Oct. 31. — It is stated that some ]of the Genoa papers declare that with a view of stimulating interest in the celebra tion of the fourth ceutenniary of the discov- I cry of America by Columbus, the chevalier \ Baedi has published the secret he has kept ; for twenty years, viz: his possession of I the identical ehaitns with which j Bodela loaded the wriste of Columbus i when the latter was sent back a prisoner Ito Spain in the year 1500. The chevaliet I says he seenred these valuable relics after I a long and expensive journey made jin Spain and America for the pur j pose, and he has kept the story of his discovery and possession of these relics for twenty years for private reasons, which are no longer binding on him. A Cardinal's Scandal. Rome, Oct. 31. — The scandal concerning the late Cardinal Lorenzo Nina, papal sec- ! retary of state, to the effect that he had a wife in the person of his concierge, to whom he bequeathed all his property, upon the alleged ground of gratitude for her services as nurse to him during a long period of critical illness, is revive* by the declara tions of his relatives that they intend to con test the will on the ground that the cardi nal was unduly influenced in making it. —_ -;■ »^njonstra!:' 1 » Students. |_ ; ■ >-.• St. Petersburg, Oct. 31.— Dispatches from Dorpat state that the students in the university of that town made a demonstra tion against the government and for a time wild confusion • reigned throughout . the town. Order was finally restored, the mil itary coming to the aid of the authorities. A renewal of the demonstration is feared. The university is one of the principal seats of learning in Russia, but is essentially Ger man in its methods and spirits. A B2g? Fortune. Der Moines. la.. Oct. 31.— The will of Edwaid C. Litchfield has been admitted to probate here. Mr. Litchfield was largely interested in what is known as the "old Dcs Monies river land grant." most of which is still in litigation. The will, in printed form, covers about forty pages of paper and bequeaths several millions of dellars. He was a resident of New York, but died in France, where the codicil was made in which the bequests are rearranged. His widow gets the home on Murray Hill, New York, and rents on a large amount of prop erty dnring her lifetime. The remainder is divided among nephews and nieces and other relatives. Coal miners in Want. Telone, 111., Oct. 31.— The striking miners at South Danville have now been out of employment over six months, and the barest necessities of life are becoming scarce among them. They are anxions to begin work at the company's prices, but the coal trade is dull and only a few of them can be advantageously employed. There will be great suffering among them through the winter unless the prospects change ma terially or considerable outside assistance is received. Robbed the Fostoffice. Seymour, la., Oct. 31. — The postoffice at this place was broken open last night; and the safe door drilled through and blown to pieces. The burglars obtained 5250 in postage stamps and S8 in currency. J. C. Fox, the postmaster, started for Kansas City yesterday. It is thought to be the samegaug that robbed safes at Howard, Allerton, ITumeston and burned Cambria, ail in Wayne county, during the past two weeks. _ Kiel Has No Friends. Special to the Globe. Winnipeg, Man., Oct. 31.— M. J. Char bonueau, just returned from the recently disaffected settlement, says the half-breeds denounce Riel, and say they will be glad to see him hanged if the half-breed prisoners are duly released. The reported appoint ment of an insanity commission is denied by a mendber of the government in the Northwest, and it is universally believed Kiel will swing on the 11th. Fatal Railway Accident. Dcs Moines. la., Oct. 31. At au early hour this morning a wild stock train en the Burlington, Cedar Rapids & Xorthern rail road was thrown from the track near Nor wood, North county. The engineer, Mor rill Eice. and Brakeman Michael Coaners, both of Cedar Rapids, were instantly killed and the fireman, James Collins, of West Cheer, badly scalded. The accident is sup posed to have been caused by the spreading ot the rails. Twenty-eight head of cattle were killed. Marshal REaratta Serenaded. Special to tho Globe. Yankton, Oct. 31.— United States Mar shal Maratta was serenaded at the Morrison hotel last night. A large number of the friends of the n*w United States marshal were present. He will immediately take charge of the United States court at this place and will probably remain here about two months. Lieut. Beatty Given a Reception. Special to the Globe. Yankton, Oct. — An informal recep tion was given at the residence of Maj. Sharpe last evening to Lieut. Beatty of the United States ; navy. Lieut.

Special to tlio Glob* Washington, Oct. 31.— Tho exclusive anticipatioa by the Globe of the appoint ment of Thomas E. Heenau as consul at Odessa, which was veriliod by regular «fli cial announcenaeut to-day, was no more au thoritative than the oilier appointments named. There is often delay after the agreement upon names for cer tain places, which consists merely in drawing tip certain papers for signature. It is not known that any charges havo been hied agaiust District At torney Searles, but Baxter has been selected for the place. P. H. Kelly has gone to join his family in Chicago. There is to be a complete clearance of land officers in Min nesota, very soon, but the names of the new appointees have not so definitely been agreed upon as to warrant mention. The Financial Question. New York, Oct. 81. — A Washington dispatch to the World, referring to the forthcoming presidential message, says: The administration will take very positive ground upon the financial question. Mr. Jordan and Mr. Manning will recommend in their report the suspension of the silver coinage. The president will indorse their views. Mr. Jordan will be able to show in his report that $45,000,000 have already been lost in the attempt to force silver into circulation. It is understood that the policy of the treasury department will be ag- inst any further calling in of bonds. It Is held that it is not good financiering to reduce the national debt which bears interest of only 3 per cent, when the current rate is 6. The Herald's Washington special says: Ex-Chief Justice Vincent, who was removed from his judgeship in New Mexico, was among the callers on the president to-day.- It is understood that Judge Vincent received but little satisfaction from the president. From the White house he went over to the de partment of justice, where he had an inter view with the attorney general which it is understood was of equally unsatisfactory character. Tbe Fiarlit on Bell's Patents. Washington, Oct. 31. — A large number of patent attorneys and other persons inter ested in the telephone cases were in attend ance at the interior department to-day to hear the beginning of the arguments on the application of the Pan Electric, the Globe and Washington Telephone companies to have the United States begin suit to cancel the Bell patent. Mr. Montgomery, the as sistant attorney general, had declined to take any part in the proceedings owing to his personal relations to one of the parties in interest, so the hearing was coudueted by Secretary Lamar, Commissioner of Patents Montgomery and Assistant Secre tary Jenks. Mr. Alex Graham Bell sat be side his counsel, Mr. Sterrow of Boston. The Pan Electric company was represented by Casey Young, E. G. Morgan of Mem phis and others. Gen. Bradley E. Johnson represented the Washington Telephone company, and Messrs. Humphrey andShep pard represented the Globe company. Quite a discussion took place as to the scope of the investigation and the legal points that must be discussed. Secretary Lamar finally said that he had no power over the patent office, and the question at issue in his opin ion was simply whether he should advise the attorney general to bring suit to cancel the Bell patent or set it aside. That it was a matter he should like to hear argued. The attorneys were present as friends of the department to assist it in reaching a conclusion without reference to litigation in other courts. He regarded it as advisable and in the public interest to postpone the hearing of arguments until Mouday, Nov. 9. ITIr. Eaton IHay Remain. Special to the Globe. Washinton, Oct. 31.— Civil Service Commissioner Eaton admits there is some chance of his remaining upon the commis sion, and there was some misapprehension up»n accepting his resignation. It was al ways claimed that be meant to have a string attached to it. I»Ur. Vincent's Goese Cooked. Special to the Globe. Washington, Oct. 31. — William A. Vincent of Illinois, recently removed from the chief justiceship of New Mexico, found his visits to the president and the attorney general yesterday and to-day anything but satisfactory. Yesterday he called upon Mr. Garland, who told him that the matter was closed, that his successor had been ap pointed and was now on his way to New Mexico, and that the decision which had been made and carried out would not be reconsidered.

Washington, Oct. 31. — A naval officer of high rank, who has had abundant oppor tunity to study the phenomena of filibus tering expeditions to Cuba, says it is a re markable fact that these things never occur in tbe summer when the North Atlantic squadron oan't get down there to stop them. "When the squadron is to start on a cruise from the North," he says, "some of the in terested parties clown there subscribe two or three hundred dollars and hire some ragged ff Hows to drill after dark. Then word goes abroad that a formidable expedition is fitting out for Cuba. Away goes the squadron and before it gets back the merchants at Key West will have received a hundred thousand dollars in money spent by the of ficers for stores, etc. There is nothing in it, there never is. They never attempt to capture Cuba when the vessels are laid up in the hand of the merchants or when the weather is so hot that Christians can't live there." Defines an Examiner's Duty.

A liOnar l^abor Contest Ended. New York, Oct 31.— The officers of Typographical Union No. 6 to-day signed an agreement with the Now York Tribune withdrawing all their charges of bad faith and broken contracts, suspending their boycotting and pledg ing themselves to advise all labor organizations, and request from them a similar action. This is the result of au adjustment which the officers have reached, on the basis first agreed upon with the Tribune, during the height of the Blame cam paign in 1884, but afterwards rejected by the Typographical themselves. The Trib une remains out oi the union, a3 it has been for nine years past, works .under its own rules aud regulations, with its old foreman, and makes absolutely no change among its employes, most of whom have been non-union men for many years, and intend to remain so. It agrees to continue paying its present wages to its weekly hands, which are in nearly all cases above the union scale, and to ad vance its rate for price of com position to 46 cents per thousand. This is the price named in the memorandum to weich it agreed last year, but which the union afterwards rejected. In a speech to his men this afternoon, an nouncing the agreement, Whitlaw Reid thanked them for their conduct to their employer during the loag struggle, and said that in consideration of their splendid loyalty, he should do more than the union asked or he had agreed to do a year ago. He therefore advanced the price of piece composition to 47 cents per thousand. Over one-half of the Tribune printers are Democrats, politics not being allowed to interfere with its re lations to its employes. It is said the Typographical union apprehend a gen eral movement among the other news papers for a reduction to 40 cents per thousand, and that this was their reason for accepting the terms they rejected a year ago and being willing now to adjust their difficulties with the Tribune on the basis of its remaining a non-union office.

NO. 303 POLYGAMY PABULUM. .Chairman Alexander Eamsey Makes the Second Annual Beport of the Utah Commission. Encouraging Facts and Figures Indicating the Decline of the Peculiar Institution. Belief That "Vigorous Prosecution Un der the Edmunds Law Will be Effective. A Halting Policy Now, However, "Would Give the Evil New Cour age and .Life. Status of the Twin Relic. Washington, Oct. Sl.'— Utah com mission, through its chairman, Alexander Ramsey of Minnesota, has submitted to the secretary of the interior the annual report upon the transactions and proceedings of the 'commission since Nov. 18, 1884, the date of their last rep»rt. The report begins with the statement that the usual annual revisions of the Utah registration lists for the present year were duly and thoroughly made by the officers of the board and the general election was held on Aug. 3 last. No person living in the practice of polygamy was allowed to register or vote, nor was any such person elected or commissioned to any office. This point therefore has been surely reached, since the commission certifies tha the name of a polygamist cannot be found upon the registration list and none of this class are holding office. It is believed that there have been very few polygamous mar riages during the present year, but it is not regarded as prudent to look upon thi3 fact as indicating anything more than a suspension of the practice resulting from the vigorous enforcement of the law, and not as an actual surrender occasioned by a general and decided change of sentiment regarding the doctrine itself. Every step forward by the government, says the commissioner, will give more ■■ strength and courage to those whose desira is to respect and , obey the law. A single step backward in legislation or administra tion will help the church to crush out thU growing spirit. of opposition, and perhapf lose -to the movement against polygamj all that has been gained by th( passage of the Edmunds act Within two years 83 indictments hare beer found for polygamy and unlawful cohabita tion. I There hare been 28 convictions an( 43 cases are now awaiting trial. The grea 1 increase of business before the federa court at Salt Lake City resulting from th/ prosecution of polygamy cases has made 1 necessary that the appointment of aa addi tional judge should be authorized by congress Little hope is entertained in view of th( past actions of the legislative assembly tha it will this winter provide for filling th< offices declared vacant by the Edmunds act Not the least Obstacle in the enforcement of the law is found in the fact that the leg« islative power is arrayed in all its force and strength against the desires of • the- peoplt and government, and ho helpful leg islation can ; be expected, although the legislature is supported by the national treasury. The commission renew all of the ; recommendations contained in Senate bill 1,283 (which failed of passage in the house of representatives during the last session, and in their repart of la3t year), and sub mit the following additional recommenda tioss: That the term of Imprisonment for unlaw ful cohabitation be extended to at least two years | for a i first ' and three years for i the "second «Semsa.,^_ T i^ ui, T3^ t _ r^j-_l That all persons be excluded by law from making: a location or settlement en 'any part of the lands of the tfnfted States, who shall refuse, on demand, to take an oath before proper officers of the land offices that he (if a man) does not cohabit with more than one woman In the marriage relation, and will support the laws of the United States, or (if a woman) that she does not cohabit with a man having mere , than one living; or divorced wife. That the lairs in reference to the Immigra tion of Chinese and the importation of con tract labor, paupers aud criminals be so amended as to prevent the immigration of persons claiming' that their religion justifies the crime of polygamy, as this would cut off the chief source of supply to the Mormon church. The commission says that they have felt it to be their duty to resist the general DEMAND OF THE NON-MORMONS in that territory in that they should recom mend legislation that would place the exer cise of all civil powers iB the hands of a leg islative commission appointed by the presi dent until the Edmunds act had been fairly tested. The nape had been indulged that the Mormons people would finally sea their line of duty in yielding in a willing acquiescence to tha law, but this result has been a disappoint ment so far as the leaders of the church and the principal part of their following are concerned. The declaration of ten repeated during the last year by the chief officers of the church, that it is their deter mination to refuse obedience to tke law; their persistent use of their great power and influence to defeat all efforts from within as well as from without the church to put an end to polygamy and persecution to those persons who desire to obey the .law, have convinced the commission that some more decisive plan to reduce the i power of the polygamous element, and corresponding increase . of the Federal authorities In th* civil government of Utah should be presented to congress at this time for its action. In addition the legislative commission's plan abort referred to, two others have been suggested, the appointment plan, making appointable all offices now filled by election, and the Idaho plan — disfranchising all contributors to the SUPPORT OF A POLYGAMIST CHTJBCH. There are objections to all of those plans and to any that con Id be devised. It may be said for the legislative commission plan that it is simple and direct; of the appoint ment plan, that all the offices, including those of the legisla tive assembly, remain undisturbed, that they are all to be filled from the body •f the people, as bow by agencies nnder the control of the fedorol government, and that the influence of the same would be poten tial; of the idah^plan, although an extreme and a more severe remedy than either of the others, that it reaohes to the very root of the system. la conclusion, says the commission, whatever may be thought of. tho suggestions, congress would certainly render a service of incalculable value to Utah, and indeed to the whole country if it would devise some measure whereby these misguided people could be brought out fr»m undttr this thral J om which has s» warped their iniada and their conscience, that a crime oommittod ia the name of reli.ion is considered by them a duty and a blessing equally to those to whom commit, and those who aid, abet, or defends its commission.
