MONDAY, JANUARY 8, 1894.

I XKKl'KESKNTKD MINOH1TIES. UXIIKPRKSKSTED minorities will be the source of great trouble in this country some day. In Switzerland continued injustice of this kind culuininating- in a most outrageous gerrymander in one canton almost caused a civil war. The danger was averted by adopting proportional representation which does away entirely with unrepresented minorities. There is an unrepresented minority' in every Congressional district in the United States. The Republicans of the Eighth district have not the slightest influence in Congress. As far as results are concerned the}' might just as well have refrained from voting for Congressman. In Kansas the Democrats have never been represented in Con' gress since the admission of the State into the Union: and yet they have, all that time, cast from one-tliird to twofifths of the votes. Texas Republicans :f given a chance to concentrate their strength, could elect two or three Congressmen, but under the present district system they have been absolutely unrepresented for over ten years.

RKrUDIATKS IT.

The Chicago Herald, the leading Democratic paper in the West, and the particular mouth-piece of the Cleveland Administration, has repudiated the Wilson bill. In a double leaded editorial it declares that it does not meet the pledges of the Democratic party, that it perpetuates complication and is the product of reduced absinthe drinking and opium eating in the domain of political economy. It says protection as established in the Wilson bill is bad enough, but the proposed income tax is ridiculous and intolerable, that the country will revolt against it, and. if under misleadership the Democratic majority in the House approves the monstrosity it will be routed in the next Congressional elec tions. It concludes that the Wilson bill, plus an income tax, would be suicide for the Democratic party.

TIIF, Administration seems to be in a hopeless muddle, not only in its Hawaiian fiasco, but on its tariff and financial policies. Both the President and his Secretary of State have been overcome with consternation. Secretary Carlisle is alarmed. It is said that not since the beginning of the war has the Government of the nited States been so completely demoralized as it is now. It has its parallel only in the closing days of the Buchanan Administration. All of which only serves to show the utter incompetency of the men at the head of affairs.

OF course the story about Sir. Bvnum's remark to the Trenton potters Is untrue. Whatever the gentleman is, he is no fool. And no one but a fool would admit that the purpose of himself and hiB party was to increa.'" wages in England and to depress them here—especially when neither he nor his party had any such purpose.—f?uitanapoliH News.

But a policy that stops maufacturing in this country and starts it anew in England will have that precise effect, no matter what its advocates may intend. Everyone is presumed, in law, to intend the necessary result of his acts.

NOTWITHSTANDING the House has a Democratic majority of nearly one hundred it has been unable to muster a quorum to take up the Wilson bill. For four days the House has been in a deadlock simply because forty or fifty Democrats refused to answer when their names were called. The situation is absolutely farcical.-

IT is reported that "My Commissioner" Blount received the enormous -sum of $50,000 for going to Honolulu, looking wise and hauling down the American ensign. Should this prove to be true Orover will think a western cyclone a summer breeze compared to the storm that will be due when the facts are known.

TIIERK is much of truth in this assertion by the Indianapolis Journal apropos of the new Democratic tariff: "The McKinley law imposes a duty of twenty-five' cents a bushel on apples and SI.50 per thousand on oranges. The Wilson bill repeals the duty on apples and leaves the duty on orangesunchanged. Apples are produced in the North and oranges in the South."

Du ever a year begin more delightfully than 1894? If the weather of the opening days were a harbinger of material prosperity before its close, this winter of discontent and suffering could be more easily borne.

CONGRESS is being overwhelmed with petitions, protests, appeals and remonstrances against the Wilson bill iniquity. It is noti«eable that there has not been a single petition presented asking the passage of the bill.

THE Wilson bill is a "force" bill. It forces idleness upon American workingmen, and forces industries to the wall.

THK Democrats have discovered that surplus can be managed more easily than a deficiency.

A STUDY IN SCARLET

By A. OONAH D0ILS.

CflAPTEK III,CONTINUED.

At flrst^his vaguaand terrible power was exercised only upon the recalcitrants, who, having embraced the Mormon faith, wished afterward to pervert or to abandon it. Soon, however, it took a wider range. The supply of adult women was running short, and polygamy, without a female population on which to draw, was a barren doctrine indeed. Strango rumors began to be bandied about—rumors oi murdered immigrants and rifled camps In regions where Indians had never been seen. Fresh women appeared In the harems of the elders—women who pined and wept, and bore upon their faces the traces, of unejtlnguishablo horror. Belated wanderers upon the mountains spoke of gangs of armed men, masked, stealthy, and noiseless, who flitted by them in the darkness. These tales and rumors took substance and shape, and were corroborated and re-corroborated until they resolved themselves into a definite name. To this day, in the lonely ranches of the west, the name of the Danite Band, or the Avenging Angels, is a sinister and ill-omened one.

Fuller knowledge of the organization which produced such terrible results served to increase rather than to lessen the horror which It inspired in the minds of men. None knew who belonged to this ruthless society. Tho names of the participators in tho deeds of blood and violence, done under the name of religion, were kept profoundly secret. The very friend to whom you communicated your misgivings as to the prophet and his mission might be one of those who would come forth at night with fire and sword to exact a terrible reparation. Hence, every man feared his neighbor, and none spoke of the things which were nearest his heart.

One fine morning, John Ferrior was about to^set out to his wheat-fields, when ho heard the click of the latch, and, looking tlirough the window, saw a stout, sandy-haired, middle-aged man coming up the pathway. His heart leaped to his mouth, for this was none other than the great Brigham Young himself. Full of trepidation— for he knew that such a visit boded him little good—Ferrier ran to the door to greet the Mormon chief. The latter, however, received his salutation coldly, and followed him with a stern face into the sitting-room. "Brother Ferrier," he said, taking a seat, and eyeing tho farmer keenly from under his light-colored eyelashes, "the true believers have been good friends to you. We picked you up when you were starving in the desert, we shared our food with you, led you safe to the chosen valley, gave you a goodly share of land, and allowed you to wax rich under our protection. Is not this so?" "It is so," answered John Ferrier. "In return for all this we asked but one condition that was that you should embrace tho true faith, and conform in every way to its usages. This you promised to do and this, if common report says truly, you have neglected." "And how have I neglected it?" asked Ferrier, throwing out his hands in expostulation. "Have I not given to the common fund? Have I not attended at the temple? Have I not—" "Where are your wives?" asked Young, looking round him. "Call them in, that I may greet them." "It is true that I havo not married," Ferrier answered. "But women were few, and there were many who had better claims than I. I was not a lonely man I had my daughter to attend to my wants." "It is of that daughter that I would speak to you," said tho leader of the Mormons. "She has grown to be the flower of Utah and has found favor in the eyes of many who are high in the land."

John Ferrier groaned internally. "There are stories of her which I would fain disbelieve—stories that she is sealed to some Gentile. This must bo the gossip of idle tongues. What is the thirteenth rule in the code of the sainted Joseph Smith? 'Let every maiden of th 3 true faith marry one of the elect for if she wed a Gentile she comlUits a grievous sin.' This being so it is impossible that you, who profess the holy creed, should suffer your daughter to violate it."

John Ferrier made no answer, but he played nervously with his riding whip. '.'Upon this one point your whole faith shall be tested—so It has been decided in the sacrcd council of four. The girl is young, and we would not have her wed gray hairs neither would we deprive her of aU'choice. We elders have many heifers [Heber C. Kimball, in one of his sermons, alludes to his hundred wives under this endearing epithet], bat our children must also bo provided. Stangerson has a son, and Drebber has a son, and either of them would gladly welcome your daughter to thefr bouse. Let her choose between them. They are young and rich, and of the true faith. What say you to that?"

Ferrier remained silent for some little time, with his brows knitted. "You will give us time," he said, at last. "My daughter Is very young— she is scarce of an age to marry." "She shall have a month to choose," said Young, rising from his scat. "At the end of that time she shall give her answer."

He was passing through the door, when he tuj-ned, with flushed face and flashing eyes. "It were better foryou, John Ferrier," he thundered, "that you and she were now lying blanched skeletons upon the Sierra Blanco, than that you should put your weak wills against-the orders of tho Holy Four!"

With a threatening gesture of his h»n«L turned from the doqr, and

terrier heard his heavy step scrunching along the shingly path. Ho was still sitting with his elbows upon his knees, considering how ho should broach the matter to his daughter, when a soft hand was laid upon his, and looking up he saw her standing beside him. One glance at her pale, frightened face showed him that Bhe had heard what had passed. "I could not help it," she said, in answer to his look. "His voice rang through the house. O father, father, what shall wo do?" "Don't you scare yourself," ho answered, drawing her to him, and passing his broad, rough hand caressingly over her chestnut hair. "We'll fix it up somehow or another. You don't find your fancy kind o' lessening for this chap, do you?"

A sob and a squeeze of his hand Wire her only answer. "No of course not. I shouldn't caru to hear you say you did. Ho's a likely lad, and he's a Christian, which is more than these folk hero, in spite o' all their praying and preaching. There's a party starting for Nevada to-morrow, and I'll manage to send him a message letting him know the hole we aro in. If I know anything o' that young man,' he'll be back here with a speed that would whip electro-telegraphs."

Lucy laughed through her tears at her father's description. "When he comes, he will advise us for the best. But it is for you that I am frightened, dear. One hears—one hears such dreadful stories about those who oppose the prophet something terrible always happens to them." "But we haven't opposed him yet," her father answered. "It will be time to look out for squalls when we do. We have a olear month before us at tho end of that, I guess we had best shin out of Utah." "Leave Utah?" "That's about the size ot it." •'But the farm?" "We will raiso as much as we can in money and let the rest go. To tell the truth, Lucy, it isn't tho first- time I have thought of doing it. 1 don't care about knuckling under to any man, as these folk do t-o their darned prophet. I'm a free-born American, and it's all new to me. Guess I'm too old to learn. If he comes browsing about this farm, he might chance to run up against a charge of buckshot traveling in the opposite direction." "But they won't let 11s leave," his daugb.er objected. "Wait till Jefferson comes, and we'll soon manage that. In tho meantime, don't you fret yourself, my dearie, and don't get your eyes swelled up, else he'll be walking into me when he sees you. There's nothing to bo afeard about, and there's no danger at all."

John Ferrier uttered these consoling remarks in a very confident tone, but she could npt help observing that he paid unusual care to the fastening of the doors that night, and that he carefully cleaned and loaded the rusty old shotgun which hung upon the wall of his bedroom.

The reason why Allcock's Porous Plasters are popular is that they may be relied on to cure. 1. Lame back, sciatica, stiffness or twitching of the muscles. 2. Chest troubles, such as pleurisy, pneumonia, consumption. 3. Indigestion, dyspepsia.biliousness, kidney complaint.

The success, however, will depend upon the genuineness of the plaster used. The popularity of Allcock's Porous Plasters has been so great that multitudes of imitations have sprang up on every hand. The only sure cure is to get the genuine Allcock's Porous Plasters.
