By a considerable majority the senate on Monday voted in favor of constructing three heavily-armed battle ships, to cost four million dollars each, for the defense of the principal seaports, The discussion of this proposition oceupied several days, during which there w produced a pretiy strong avray of facts to show that Mg.

They could not travel t or ba handled rap- idly and would be at the mer of swift and easily mancuvered ironclads. But an influence in the navy was strong enough to convinee senators that the country needed a few heavy battle ships, and the weightiest arguments were una- ble to overcome this influence TAXPAYERS and friends of the public schools must watch the movements of political jobbers who ave manipulating the wires to capture the school board. The vast interests involved demand the selection of responsible men, to whom the advancement of edueation is a labor of love, vessels COUNCILMAN BLUMER still insists that his partner must be made chaivman | of the board of public works. What possible object can Mr. Blumer have in trying to foist his partner into such a position when everybody knows him to be incompetent and inexporienced, M, Blumer is ovidently not in the combine for his health.

The rocent decision of the supreme court affirming the constitutionality of the Edmunds anti-polygamy law is uni- versally regarded as the death blow to of polygamy in this country. As a matter of fact the dcotrine of the Mormon church had been almost wholly abandoned in practice long before the d ion, and the mem} of that church who still accept the doctrine constitute an extremely small minority, probably not over four or five per cent in Utah and a still smaller proportion elsewhere, Nothing is more probable than that the Mormon church will a roligious or- ganization, at un carly day wholly re- nounce the doctrine of polygamy and expunge it from its ereed. The immense preponderance of non-polygamists now in the organization will insist upon this being done in order to save it from com- plete dismemberment and as a matter of self-protection from the oper- ation of hostile laws Bus- tained by an almost universal public sentiment. Polygamy is declared by statute to be a crime, and the law has been pronounced constitutional by the The whole power of the government may be invoked to en- for it. Further r ance in the in- terest of polygamy must be wholly futile. Such being the situation, it is entivel reasonable to expect that the non- polygamous element in the church, being greatly in the majority, will that the organization shall be freed from the only doctrine which subjects it, as a religious body, to legal diserimination. Existing law being, thevefore, ample for erushing out polygamy, any furthe lagislation relating to the Mormon church must necessavily take on the character of persecution and be repug- nant to the provision of the constitution which says that “Congress shall make no law rvespecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof.” Of this nature is the bill now in cong which in effect provides that no member of the Mormon church shall “either vote, serve as a juror, or be eolected to or hold any civil office in the territory of Utah.” A man may be the most radical of non-polygamists, but if he believes in the other doctrines of the church and remains united with it he must by the terms of this proposed law suffer disfranchisement and the loss of all his civil rights. The injustice of this must be obvious to all fair-minded people, and we do not think it at all doubtful that such a law would be at vaviance with the constitutional provis jon we have quoted. Its practical effect would be to condemn the Mormon faith as a whole and to prohibit its establish- ment as a religion, and this congress has no rightto do. There is a vital princi ple involved in this matter which ought t0 be apparent to all whoare not blinded by an .mdue prejudice. No further dang, the moral welfare of ,n.-iflu,fi‘#.:mh or elsewhere in thi country, is to be feared from polygamy. Iven though the doctrine should survive with a few as an article of faith, its prac- tice is a thing of the past and only the practice is criminal. The proposed logis- lation is unnecessary and its adoption would work great injustice to thousands who desire to be good and law-abiding citizens. insist ARE THEY CONSPIRA TORS? Seven members of the infamous couneil combine have had the audacity to file petitions in court against THE B for alleged libel to their reputations because we have seen fit to chargoe that they have conspired to divide among them- selves and their corrupt associates the patronage of the city government. With suggestive unanimity each of the seven common scoundrels’ have placed their claim for damages at ten thousand dollars. How modest these fellows are, to be But why do they go into court to 'wo that they are conspiv- ators? Conspiracy is defined by Web- ster as “a combination of two or more for an evil purpose,” and to conspive is defined as *‘to unite wvenant to- gother for un evil purpose; to plot to- gether; to concur to one end.” Now the question is, are Chaffee, Davis, Shriver, Wheeler, Olsen, Blumer and Mel combined togother for any good purpose on earth? It is com- mon and customary for members of leg- islative bodies belonging to the same political party to eaucus and combine upon the choice of offfeers of such bodies and to act in_ concort in support of certain policies which their veapective political parties are pledged to carry out and vital Was this the | purpose for which the council combine was formed? There ave ten republicans sure, resent the cha or rie | in the council, which is a clear working | majority of that body. { proper for these ten memb | bine and of It was eminently to com- nize the council.

And Davis,the venal traitor who pre- sided at the Lininger banquet, wants ten thousand for his damaged reputa tion! That is the coolest thing of all. Davis is, ifatiything, more thrifty than MeLearie. Al{hough the charter makes it & high misdymeanor for any council man to be directly or indirectly interest- ed in a contract with the city, or to fur- nish materials to any contractor, he has in defiance of the law repaired fire de- partment engines, manufactured thou- sands of dog tags for the city, besides doing a very paying business for tho street railways, to whom the council refunded over twenty-five thousand dol- lars after it had been paid into the treas- ury for paving taxes, And Whecler, who has been holding up everybody for “more insurance” and is one of the loading spirits of the com- bine, is awfully indignant that his repu- tation has been assailed. Are we in the hands of a gang of con- spirators? Arc men who band together for plunder and patronage anything else than conspirators? Ave councilmen whe and body the property of franchised corporations conspirators when they plot together to vote away the people’s money? Are men who belong to onth-bound political that set up jobs and schemes against the welfare of the city conspirators? GREAT gobs of gloom continue to malke anything but a round of joy for the stockholders of the defunct Omaha bank- ing company. It is consoling to them to know that while skirmishing to meet maturing paper, the chief maker is en- joying the plandits of the multitude on the foothills of the Wahsatch range. and hy- the clubs THE police commission displays and luminous grasp of the duti force.

The prospects are decidedly favorable, however, for gar- nering a huge bill of costs as a memorial to legal folly. OLSEN and Shriver will fall by wayside like old dog Tray, whose fate they ought to huve remembered. The only possible cxcuse they can have for playing eatspaw for the conspirators and venal lawbrenkers of the combine is that they are chumps.

To some of us there is nothing so extremely absurd as for many to accept the shylock's stereotyped expressions, “‘hard money," “coin basis,” “honest dollar,"” ete, Today the prevalent idens on the money question are those of the bankers of Wall street and the creditor class in general, and should be accepted by the masses with the full allowance that they come from men directly interested in the advantages aceru- ing at the publio expense. The testimony of a thicf in his own behalf has} but little effect upon an intelligent judge, though his pathos and stage demeanor may influence an over- credulous jury. ‘The real solution of the finan cial question is a matter which hinges mainly upon the prosperity of any nation—hence the necessity of being fair and honest in ou inves. tigation.

For a complete history of the I'rench assignats see page 125 of above quoted author. The assignats were not based upon the faith, credit and revenues of a nation as our legal tenders are, but upon the confiscated ostates of priests and nobles. To compare these issues with our legal tenders is to com- mit errors palpable to tho masses, As to our greenbacks wo will add but a word, as we are using more space than we in- tendea. John Sherman said they were pur- posely depreciated to_ salo for bonds, ud the public is familiar with the *exception clause” as one method of depreciation. We continue quotations from highest auth as to what_constitutes money, since Wooster dealt, Messrs. Burrows, Powers, ¢ al. a backhanded slap by eharging that the are rehashing Bdward Kellogg's ideas given 10 the public over forty years ago. “An inconvertible paper money made a legal tender is universally admitted to be money.” (John Stewart Mill) “The ci cumstance of convertibility does not_affect paper moncy.” (Adam Smith.) “There is 1o such thing us gold money or silver money or paper money.
