It | ! MORMONS AND STATEHOOD. ENATOR BARD in his speech against state- S hood for Arizona and New Mexico gave the discussion a new and important aspect. With the frankness which becomes a Senator he declared that the whole country must consider the political influence and control of the Mormon hierarchy in Arizona, and to a drgree in New Mexico. It seems to be an established fact that the church does direct the political action of its members. In the ensuing discussion it was brought out that the first presi- dency exercises the right of dictation to Mormons who desire to run for office, and that when its favor is | known to be over a candidate no party allegiance is iav:knowlcdged by Mormons, who vote as the rulers [ of the church direct. o ! When Senator Bard broke the ice the question was | discussed with a freedom that has not been heard in Congress since the debates on the Tucker-Edmunds law against polygamy. The increase of Mormon power in Idaho and Wyoming was revealed, and the | recent incidents in the politics of those States were gone over with enlightening effect. Among the start- dictation of the church, but he declared that if this became too offensive in his State he would engage |to take the stump against it, and elect a Legislature This recalls some recent history in that State to which he did not refer. When he was in Republican politics in Tdaho Territory he made several bitter and forcible attacks upon the Mormon church. When le became a candidate for his present seat in the Sen- ate, and his fate hung upon the election of a Legisla- ture, these anti-Mormon speeches were recalled and the church entered the field against him. Thereupon he reprinted his anti-Mormon speeches in his news- against all the efforts of the church. In the statehood debate there was expressed a fear that the church, controlling Utah, Idaho, Wyoming and Arizona, and with hope of the balance of power | in Colorado, will defy public sentiment and public law and renew polygamy. In the revelations made in this debate it is very evident that we are far from done with the Mormon question. The straddling ut- terances of Senator Patterson of Colorado show the | extent to which the vote-hunting politicians will go in placating the hierachy. He declared that any other | church, given the power and opportunity, will do just as the Mormon church is accused of doing. That may be admitted without canceling the need of safe- guarding against a church that is already doing it. We are convinced that it is the duty of the nation to cut off polygamy as a future resource for the re- cruitment of Mormon power. Before that church suc- ceeds in controlling States enough to defeat a con- stitutional amendment one putting polygamy where an -amendment put slavery should be adopted. The first National Republican platiorm denounced polyg- amy and slavery as the twin “felics of barbarism. will be seen that when this is done the object for | | which the church is working in politics will exist no | longer, and we will see the gradual decline of the| Mormon question as an issue.in American politics. Whether the issue is vital in the statehood ques- tion is another matter. Arizona may or may not be in danger of Mormon domination; but, be that as it ! may, Senator Bard pioneered a great issue, as great as that which gives David Wilmot a permanent place in our political history. | Some of the young men whom Uncle Sam is edu- | cating at Annapolis to be fighting sailors have risen |in revolt' because they are not to be permitted to | | indulge in the cowardly practice of hazing. Uncle| Sam could do nothing better than to relegate these young fellows to a sphere of private inactivity where | their instincts of brutality might die for want of ex- ercise. . { CRANK LEGISLATION.

Peter C. Yorke was introduced to his fellow regents by Garret W. McEnerney. Guy C. Barl was called to the chair. Regents attending were: A. W. Foster, . W. Hellman, Dr. Ellinwood, Phebe A. Hearst, Garret W. McEnerney, Guy C. Harl, J. B. Reinstein, P. C. Yorke and President Benjamin I ‘Wheeler. S Thanks of the board were given to the firm of Levi Strauss & Co. for extension of the Strauss scholarship.

On motion of President Wheeler W. | Scott Thomas was appointed examiner o schools and assistant professqr of edu- cation at $2000 per annum. President ‘Wheeler said: Mr. Thomas' appointments marks an im- portant change in the university’s method of | examining those high schools in California which seek accrediting. It will be the duty of this new university officer to the first half of each college year in visiting high i schools.

The State Board of Trade yesterday de- { | clined to send representatives of the i | board to the River Improvement Conven- tion, which will come together in the Palace Hotel In this city to-morrow. The controversy which has arisen in the in- terfor countles concerning the effect of cutting through Sherman Isiand to make a new channel for the Sacramento River is at the bottom of the refusal to take part in the River Improvement Comven- tion. The matter was debated at some length before a vote was taken. The board will go to Sacramento as a body on February 17 to attend the con- vention that has been called to discuss the Works Irrigation bill, which was pre- | pared at the instance of the California Water and Forest Association through the agency of a commission. An invita- tion was received from President Chip- man of the State Board of Trade, Presi. dent Newhall of the San Francisco Cham- ber of Commerce and President MeNear | of the Merchants’ Exchange to take part | in the discussion. This invitation was | promptly accepted. Manager Filcher was Instructed to see what arrangements could be made to have the entire board visit the Citrus Fair at Cloverdale on Friday, February 21. He was also directed to communicate with H. W.

With the Venezuela imbroglio going on in moil in another quarter, a prolonged contest between the Brazilians and the Bolivians would have so mixed the situation that a study of Latin Amesican poli- watch the performances of a three-ringed circus.

A New York legislator supported by several clubs | | of leading ladies has introduced a bill establishing al | State farm for women. The complaint is made that rumbers of women now shut up in the prisons of the State have nothing to do except sew, scrub, cook and | darn. They are in need of recreation, and the bill pgoposes to provide a large and picturesque farm, where they ‘can go and raise violets in spring and | chrysanthemums in the fall and thus have the benefit of an outing while still remaining under charge of the prison directors. The advocates of the bill as- | sert that there are no better farmers than-women, and that most women long for rural life. The bill recalls the story of the convict in Illinois who, on’being ! asked what work he would prefer to be set at, replied he would like to be a sailor. Perhaps in the fullness of time we shall have yachts for lady convicts. A Minnesota legislator has introduced a bill making | it unlawful for one person to kise another unless the kisser can prove that he is not afflicted with a con- tagious or infectious disease. Had he stopped there, | he would have acquited no fame, for that bill is old. But he put a new touch to it by including among the | ailments which shall be a bar to kissing that of a weak heart. Of course a man with a weak heart has never been known to kiss anybody except his mother, but none the less the inclusion of that ailment in the bill gives it something of novelty and raises a new issue out of an old subject. The best bill of the lot is that of a Pennsylvania substantial people in the community.” At the regular monthly meeting of the committee on Monday it was announced that letters of inquiry | about California received by the committee during January numbered 3395, and the number of letters sent out, including answers to inquiries and circular letters, was 5876. The total number of letters re- ceived down to the end of January is 9275, while 18,960 were sent out. ‘. LT The letters of inquiry are coming from all parts of the Union and show an increasing int: ‘es‘tfli‘v'!‘_Cifiv-' fornia amgng Eastern people. That interest is of | course due to the work that has béen done to edu- cate the Eastern public oom:‘em‘in; the resources of the lState and the advantages it has to offer to in- vestors and to home-seekers. - Out of that interest there will of course come an increasing stream of im- migration if we do our part:in properly responding to it. . In fact, the work of the past year has been largely preliminary, and it is now for us to arrange to profit by it. -To that end the Promotion Com- mittee should be promptly provided with ample funds.
