BRSO L AT W WP .08 00 UTAIIS FIGHT FORSTATENO0D The Most Interesting and Dramatio Btrug- gles in American History, AN ISSUE IN MORALS AND POLITICS Buccinet Review ef the Brigham Young Agn Dattle Begun Forty-Five Years Mormonism Versus by anism. With the admission of Utah as a state will close the longest, and, when all the facts and circumstances are taken into the account, one of the most Interesting strug- gles for statehood In American history. For & period of more than forty-five years Utah bas been an issue In American morals and American politics, and some of the time has been a burning issue. When in 1856 the platform of the republican national con- vention branded slavery and polygamy as “twin reMes of barbarism,” a phrase was used which became historic, and in the popu- lar mind Utah has since been the land of the “twin relic.”” Just as avery was the bar to southern progress, prosperity and civilization, o Mormon polygamy has been the bar to Utah's statehood. When the Mormons were from Nauvoo, Ill., says the Boston Adver- tiser, It was evident to the leaders that if they were to have peace in the development of thelr religion, they must find a home apart from others, and to find such a home was their object during the time they remained in camp among the Pottawattamies and the Omahas in Missourl. During the war with Mexico the services of a Mormon battalion had been accepted by the government, and these soldicrs had been sent across the con- tinent for service in California. The Salt Lake region had attracted their attention. That American civilization would ever reach it seemed almost impossible, and the leaders believed that here they might find their new holy land with its desert and Dead sea, its river Jordan, Mount of Olives, Gallil ake, and scores of other features of its Asian pro- totype. Tho migration to the Salt Lake gion was determined upon, and the first de- tachment of ploncer scttlers under the lead of Orson Pratt began the Mormon settlement of Utah on the 234 of July, 1847, and a month later the settiement was formally named the “City of the Great Lake.” The migration continued through the ycar. THE LAND OF PROMISE. By the beginning of the year 1848 there were at least 5,000 persons in the Salt Lake valley, and frée from outside interference had ‘begun the building of their peculiar commonw th.. According to the census re. turns of 1850, this population had then in- creased to 11,354, of whom about &3 per cent were males, and 6,000 were residents of Salt Lake City. The agitation for statehood had already begun; but it was a peculiar state which was desired. The Mormon church is a politico-religious organization. Its theory then, whatever may be the case now, was that the church is a government of God, and not responsible to any other government on earth conflicting with it. At the start there was a fundamental, divergence between this organization and the United States govern- ment. At the first the settlers were entirely un- der the control of their ecclesiastical lcaders, Brigham Young, as the suc bh Bmith, was civil as well as spiritual dictator. But early In 1849 a convention was sum- moned of “‘the inhabitants of that portion of upper California lying east of the Sierra Nevada mountains.” It met at Salt Lake City on the 4th of March, drafted a consti- tution, which a few days Tater was adopted, and a provisional government was organized under the name of the state of Deseret. The tract of country claimed for this new state extended from latitude 33 to the border of Oregon, and from the Rocky mountains to the Sierra Nevadas, together with a large portion of southern California. A state government, with al the machinery of execu- tive, judicial and military departments w et up, Brigham Young, as a matter of course, being elected governor, and this done tongress was informed that the new state was ready for admission to the union. It was certainly a novel and bold experiment which was attempted. A population numbering less than one-fifth of the number required for statehood undertook to constitute them- selves into a sovereign and independent state, with a vast extent of territory, and then calmly awaited the action of congress. MORMON ASSURANC! The memorial sent to Washington indi- cated, to say the least, supreme assurance. Congress was reminded that it had failed to provide a civil government for any portion of the territory ceded by the republic of Mexico; that the revolver and bowle knife had 80 far been the law of the land; that for their own safety they had organized a state government in harmony with national civil polity; that there was an ample popula- tion for iis support, and they therefore asked that their constitution be ratified, and that the state of Deseret be admitted to the union on an equal fooing with other states, ‘‘or to such other form of civil government as your wisdom and magnanimity may award to the people of Deseret.” The new state @&d not walt for congressional action, but proceeded Immediately to business. It created counties, granted town and city char- ters, et up courts, levied taxes, made ap- propriations, organized police and military establishments and gave land grants to the leading saints with a remarkable liberality. The agent sent to Washington with the constitution did not meet with a very warm reception. It was not till Decem- ber 27, 1849, that Senator Douglas presented the memorial and constitution, and it was immediately referred to the committee on territories. The memorial of Babbitt, the agent, asking for admission to the house as a delegate, was reported upon unfavorably by the committee on elections. Said the com- mittee: “The memorialist comes as the representative of a state, but of a state not in the union, and therefore not entitled to a representation here. The admission of Mr. Babbitt would be a quasi recognition of the legal existence of the state of Deseret; and no act should be done by this house which, even by implication, may give force and vitality to a political organization extra con- stitutional and independent of the laws of the United States. SOMETHING HAD TO BE DONE. It Is worthy of note that it was only after a long debate and by a vote of 108 to 77 that this report was adopted. But something had to be done, and in September. 1850, the territory of Utah, shorn largely of its claimed proportions, was erected out of the self-constituted state of Deseret, The bills creating Utah and New Mexico territories were a part of the famous compromise measures of 1850, which were supposed by their promoters to have forever settled the slavery question. The discus slon of the Utah bill was all over the ques- tion of permitting slavery in the territory and it passed with the proviso that when admitted as a state it should be with or without slavery, as the constitution should provide at the time of admlssion. Utah territory has from the the home of the Mormons entiles have settled there, indeed, but the Mormons have been in the majority and in the ascendant That there should be constant friciion and conflict between the Mormon hierarchy and the United States was inevitable. Her his- tory Is stained by some of the foulest erimes on record. 'The stories of the Guunison, and the Mountain Meadow Massacre are not pleasant historical chapters. The territory was In a state of war against the govern- ment in 1857-58, and the hierarchy was de flant. The war in Kansas was for freedom; that in Utah was In defense of a disloyal rebellious hierarchy. The hope of the hlerarchy for the preservation of Its power and for polygamy lay at the beginning in statehoood, and at each crisis In its affairs since statehiood has boen sought as the means of escape from the authority of the United States. DEFIANCE OF YOUNG. The federal officlals were virtually forced to leave the territory In September, 1851, and there was none left to dispute the authority of Brigham Young as governor. By an act of the legislature in 1853 voting by ballot at elections was practicaly abolished and the Mormon hierarchy was supreme. In March, 1856, another state constitution was adopted under the style of the state of Deseret, but congress would have none of it, and the troublesome Utah war, in which General Harvey was In command of the United States forces, followed, Im 1862 expelled In 1816 outset been another attempt to secure stateloo made. On the 13th of March Young fssued a proclamation, styling himeell govern elect, calling a general assembly, and ordered the election of senators to congress. The reply to this was the Introduction in the senate of a bill b; nator Morrill “to punish and prevent the practice of polygamy in the territories of the United Sta'es.” This dbill was not enacted, nor did the appeal for ad missfon as a state receive much attention, Doubts as to the loyal'y of the Mormons t the union cause were too prevalent in Wash in on for this. The antagonism the local authorit known as the federal and s between the *+ continued untll what Poland_ bill 1 congre and became a law In 1874 This regulated the courts and juliciary of the territory and under it some botter semblance of law and order prevailed But the twin relic the Mormon evil, stiil remained. Plans for its abolition we numerou: for the most part Impractical munds act of March 22, 1852, was the outcome of this dlscussion It made polyzamy a crime punishable by disfranchisement and other heavy penalties, and placad the terri- tory under the control of a federal comml sion. This act led to another attempt to secure admission to the unfon. A constitu- tion was drawn up and was presented to congress by Delegate Caine, with the usual result. The country had determined that Utah should be purged of polygamy as an institution before statehood should be con sidered, and the commissior entered upbn Its work, O fons difter as to its thorough- nes; The Mormon hierarchy profe itself to have abandoned polygamy tenet of the Mormon faith. The new con. stitution now approved by congress pro- hibits it. The territory has ample popula- tion, Is wealthy, materially prosperous, and has every promise of a brilliant state carcer. btk NERVE CARRIED HIM THROUGH. Tndia Agent Who “Got” the Murderers of an Old Man. A tall, keen-eyed, squaré-should sandy-haired man, with a countenance that bespoke a quiet and reserved nature, strolled out of the Hotel Lawrence the other morning and walked slowly up & street in Washington toward Newspaper Row. As he passed an army officer stepped forward and shook hands with him cor- dially and then rejoined his companions. Do u know who that is?" said the military man to a Star reporter. “No? Well, that's Special Agent Cooper of the Indian ofice. Everybody in the far west knows Jim Cooper. He has nerve enough to supply a whole family of mountain lions and have enough left to equip several companies of hard riding Indian fighters. During the stormy times at Pine Ridge agency scveral years ago Cooper was a strong factor in settling matters with the Indians, being present there as a civilian representative of the government. His fame had preceded him to Pine Ridge from the Tongue River reservation of the Northern Cheyennes, up in Montana, where he followed a carcer that was full of exciting adventures “One incident that may give you some idea as to the character of the man o curred up on the Tongue River reservation in the latter part of the '80's, when Cooper was temporarily acting as the agent there, Two Indian boys, as young unmarried In- dians are called, about 19 or 20 years of age respectively, had murdered a ‘white man. Cooper called the Cheyennes together and they numbered about 400 warriors at that time and equally as many squaws, who are pretty near as good as warriors when it comes to a ruction, and told them that the bo would have to be brought in and delivered up to answer for their crime. The Indians said they didn’t know where the boys wer and Cooper very plainly told them that they were lying. Then they asked him how many ponies he would take to let up in the prosccu- tion of the criminals, and Cooper sald that he wouldn't listen to any such taik as that, but that what he wanted was the boys and that he wanted them brought in without any further palavering or subterruge or delay. The father of one of the boys grew very in- dignant at Cooper’s determined stand and said that the boys would come in all right, but that Cooper was too big a coward to meet them “This Al The I a An Three red the Indian way of challenging Cooper to a fight. He never winced, but got mad in_turn. He told the gathering that the whole Cheyenne tribe couldn't scare him, and that he proposed to get those boys in spite of all of them and see that justice was done, and dared the father to let the murderers know what he said Then he rammed a few handfuls of am- munition into-his pocket, took up his rifle and started out. The Cheyennes ranged themselves round on the bluffs and waited for tho fun to begin, ready to take a hand In an instant, If necessary. Cooper knew that he showed the slightest slgns of . nervous- ness or fear the Indians would make short work of him, burn everything in sight and go cavorting off the reservation. But he grew mighty lonesome, for all the white employes of the reservation had become scared and gone to hiding. He called on the six or seven Indian police that were on duty at the reservation to stand by him, however, and took the precaution to send one of them after a cavalry troop, I think it was troop A of the First,” that was camped down on the Lame Deer. “Pretty soon Cooper saw a _couple of Chey- ennes in full war paint and regalia riding like mad down the trail toward the agency. They were the boys who had murdered the old man. As they came within range the agent raised his rifle and plugged one of them so good and hard that he rolled off his pony and gave up the ghost without a single kick, The other one began circling around and around for a little while, as Indians do, getting ready for a rush, and Cooper awaited his opportunity to get a good shot at him, when the cavalry troop appeared. Then came the strangest part of the proceeding. The young Indian charged directly at the line of United States soldiers and went right through it, wounding four horses as he did so. But when he had gone through somebody whirled that troop around, and the result was that in less than thre wags of a sheep's tail Mr. Indian boy was as full of holes as any plece of honeycomb you ever saw in your life. “There was no more trouble at the Tongue River rescrvation while Cooper was there and the Cheyeunes respected him. You mustn’t imagine from this fact that the northern Cheyenne is a weak specimen of the Indian. Those fellows at Tongue river were the very same who were taken down to Indian Territory many years ago and es- caped and were not overhauled or stopped until they had gone north to within fifty or sixty miles of Pine Ridge, and the govern- ment didn't try to get them to go back an more. They are fierce to a degree and th best fighters that live today, but still the are upright in their dealings and the char- acter of their lives may be appreciated when the fact is known that there is not a woman among the Northern Cheyennes who Is not perfectly virtuous.” B THE LONG AND THE SHORT. ‘The Husband Seven Feet Tall and the Wife Less Than Five, John Pell and his wife are not mates—not in the fullest sense of the word, says the Chicago Tribune. He is seven feet one inch tall and she is only four feet five inches Then they have a boy who is turning 7 years, who weighs twice as much as his mother and is about as tall. Pell is a big, hearty, good-natured fellow who doesn't look a day ‘over 18. He Is 28. His wite Is a vivacious little body and flutters around her husband like a dove around a cote. She Is as solicitous for his welfare and looks to his goings and comings as carefully as though he were a little babe. The boy is a hearty, bright lad who looks to be 7. They were romantically married, came from near Penobscot, M the daughter of a poor farmer ently had no promising future, while John's prospects were bright, he belonging to a well-to-do family, The yc & woman's parents gave John no encouragement when after a courtship of s!x months he asked to marry her. They manifested decided oppo- sition. ~ John one night went over to his Dulcinea’s domicile, which was a two-story one, and whistled like all good, romantic lovers. This brought his fair oneé to a see- ond story window. John stood on & box and lifted her down.

There is probably no one who can assert with authority t he has worked or waited for that end. If the young man himself were to be accused of such an ambition, he would deny it. But in spite of this fact, it is certain that the leaders of the administration wing of the braska democracy believe that such is Mr. Bryan's ambition. They believe it so strongly that they have arranged a carefully designed scheme which will make it absolutely im- possible for Bryan or any of his free silver democratic friends to accept a nomination from the populist party without first openly and publicly announcing his divorcement from the democratic party. The plan to hold a late democratic conventton will prevent Bryan or any other free silver democrat from obtaining a populist indorsement. This Is certain. But the populists themsclves have also laid their plans for Mr. Bryan’s discomfiture, The chairman of the populist state central committee has but recently returned from a tour through a large part of the state, during which he consulted with a ma- Yority of the members of the executive com- mittee. He has discovered that the populise leaders are opposed to the indorsement of Bryan for govenor unless be breaks abs lutely with the democratic party and openly declares himself a populist. Senator Allen has agreed to take the stump in Nebraska for the populist ticket on Sep- tember 15, and continue the campaign until election day closes the contest. Mr. Bryan will be invited to do the same, If he will take the stump and work for the election of the populist candidates, he can have the sup- port of the populists for United States sen- ator. He can have this support under no other circumstances or conditions. Mr. Bryan will hardly disavow his desire to be the succesful candidate for United States senstor to succeed Senator Mander- son. He has hoped all along to receive the support_of both demoerats and independents, The administration democrats are deter- mined that Bryan shall not be the next democratic senator from Nebraska, provided that a democrat can be elected. They are determined for two reaons. One is that they do not want a United States senator who will take issue with the administration, and the other s that they hope to throttle the free silver element in the democratic party in this state. In"view of the situation, Bryan’s wander- ings within the next few weeks will be waited for with no little interest by men of all parties. —_— GOLDEN WEDDING AND DIVORCE The Aged Wi nf w California Millionaire Asks for Legal Separation. John Bryson is probably the richest man, or at least one of the wealthiest, in south- ern California. He fs about 75 years old, and last March he and his wife celebrated their golden wedding anniversary with great eclat. He is interested in a whole lot of banks and owns the celebrated Bryson block, on the corner of Second and Spring streets, Los Angeles, one of the finest edifices on the coast, and has been mayor of Los An- geles. Despite his years, “Uncle John,” as he is familiarly known, is a_gay Lothario. It has often been said that Mrs. Bryson would sue for a divorce, but until last month she submitted patiently to circumstances. Bry- son has seven sons, and they are trying their best to bring abouat a reconcilia- tion between their parents, for the result of the pending litigation on the big for- tune of the family is something in which all the members of the family have a lively interest. The old_couple were married in a little town in Pennsylvania fifty odd years ago. Fortune was kind to the husband and he gathered wealth, Children were born to the pair, and health, wealth and happines formed a triumvirate of the choicest con- ditions men, strive o eagerly to obtain. Of late years, however, it been whispered that therc has been trouble. Wifely pro- testations in the earlier stages of the trouble caused a temporary cessation of the al- leged peccadilloes of the husband, but the defendant took the bit into his strong teeth and there was no checking his fatuity, and in despair Mrs. Bryson finally resorted to the courts. The complaint is particularly specific all_along the line and who has smiled on Mr. Bryson with favor is men- tioned. A demand s also made for half the community property, which is supposed to be of the value of $2,000,000. The docu- ment also contains allegations of crucl treatment, and the period of cruelty covers one year and a haif, and that of frivolity three years, As soon as the complaint was filed Mrs. Bryson left the city and Mr. Bry- son s engaged in searching out her where- abouts in order to settle the difficulties and arrange a reconciliation. P MODERN CHIVALRY. The Spirit of No Means Ext ne She was a fair West Philadelphian who had just returned from a shopping tour in the city, says the Press. She carried three bundles—too precious to be left for delivery wagon—and a mackintosh and two boxes of candy al:o balanced in uncertain equilibrium about her. He was a big, plain, everyday workingman, and his weapon was a pick, with which he waged successful war upon the cobblestones and the dirt of a bac mutilated West Philadelphia street. Three little strips of wood were supposed to be enough at the point where she dismoynted from the car to enable foot passengers to cross the muddy thorougnfare, but fust as she came opposite the man a’ little"tilt of the flimsy poatoon bridge sent one of her daintily shod feet up to the ankle into a fine yellow mud hole, and when she drew it out it was a sight to make one weep. She could not go on without nopelessly solling the edge of her skirt. She could not stoop for bundles. She stood in petrified perplex ity. Then s the spirit of Sir Walter Raleigh showed itself. The plck was dropped and the man grabbed a little stick and said: “Wait, miss, an’ I'll clean yer shoe off.” There seemed to be nothing ‘else to do, so she waited. The rest of the gang leaned on thelr picks and shovels and watched the scene out of the corners of their eyes. When he had done all the execution he could with the stick and quite a respectable pile of clay had been scraped from the ‘small shoe he whisked out a red bandana hand- kerchief, a sort of substitute for Raleigh's crimson cloak, and still kneeling before her, notwithstanding her protest that he would get it dirty, proceeded to clean the shoe with that, 'She thanked him and walked down the street, with a little blush on her cheek.

Tho majority of the sales were made at from $4.75 to $4.80, as against $4.70 to $L.75 yesterday. The week closes just be higher than it was at the close of last week.
