TITT ; HATT.V mttt TUMMHAV .irrr.v 100,1 , UTAH'S ' FICIITFORSTATEIIOOD The Moat Interesting and Dramatic Strug gles in American History. AN ISSUE IN MORALS AND POLITICS Eucclnct Itevlcw of the Ilnttla Hcgiin by llrlshatn YOIIIIB 1'ortyrito Ycnr * Age Mormonlmii Ycrtus Amerlciinlmii. With the aclpilsslon of Utah as a state will close the longest , and ) when all the ( acts nnd circumstances are taken Into tlic account , one of ( lie most Interesting strug gles for statehood In American hhtory. Tor a period of more than forty-five > cars Utah lina been an Issue In Atncrlctn morals and American politics , and some of the time has been a burnlni : Issue. When In 185C the platform of the republican national con vention branded slavery and polygamy as "twin relics of barbarism , " a phrase was used which became historic , and In tlm popu lar mind Utah has since been the land of the "twin relic. " Just as slavery was the bar to southern progress , prosperity and civilization , so Mormon polygamy has been the bar to Utah's statehood. When the Mormons were expelled In 181C from Nauvoo , III. , says the Doston Adver tiser. It was evident to the leaders that If they were to have peace. In thu development of their religion , they must nnd a homo apart from otheis , and to find such a home vvis III Ir object during the time they remained In camp among the I'ottavvattamles and the Oinahas In Missouri During the war with Mexico the services of a Mormon battalion had been accepted by the government , nnd thcso soldiers 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 hero they might nnd their new liolv land with ltd desert and Dead sea. Its river Jordan , Mount oP Ollvts , Galllle * lake , and scores of other features of its Asian pro totype. The migration to the Salt Lake re gion was determined upon , and the first de tachment of pioneer settlers under the lead of Orson Pratt becan the Mormon settlement of Utah on the Z3d of July , 1817 , and n month later the settlement was formally named the "City of the Great Lake " The migration continued through the year. Tlin LAND 0V I'UOMISn. By the beginning of the > ear 1818 there were at least G,009 persons In the Salt Lake valley , and free from outside Interference ! had begun the building of their peculiar commonwealth. According to the census re turns of 1800 , this population had then In crease J to 11,354 , of whom about C3 per cent were males , and 6,000 were residents of Salt Lalto City. The agitation for statehood had already begunj but It was a peculiar state which was desired. The Mormon church Is a politico-religious organization. Its theory then , whatever may bo the case now , was tint 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 ttrst the settlers were entirely un der the control of their ecclesiastical leaders , llrlgliam Young , as the succcsbar of Joseph Smith , was civil as well as spiritual dictator. IltiL early In 184'J a convention was sum moned of "tho Inhabitant of that portion of upper California lying east of the Sierra Nevada mountains. " It met at Salt Like City on the 4th of March , drafted a consti tution , which a few days later 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 Hocky mountains to the Sierra Nevadas , together with a large portion of southern California. A state Eovernment , with al the machinery of execu tive , judicial and military departments was cot up , Drlgham Young , as a matter of course , being elected governor , and this done congress 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 reeiulred 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 ASSURANCE. 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 so 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 omplo popula tion for Its support , and they therefore asked that tholr constitution be ratified , and that the state of Deseret bo admitted to the union on an equal foolng 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 Old not wait for congressional action , but proceeded Immediately to business. It created counties , granted town and city char ters , set 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 verj warm reception. It was not till Decem ber 27 , 1S49 , that Senator Douglas presentc-d 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 housa as a delegate , was reported upon unfavorably by the committee on elections. Said the com mittee : "Tho 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 bo n quasi recognition of the legal existence of the state of Descrot ; and no act should bo done by this house which , oven by Implication , may give force ami 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 bo done , and In September 18 0 , the territory of Utah , shorn largely of Us claimed proportions , was erected out of the self-coiibtltutcd state of Deseret. The bills creating Utah and Now Mexico territories were a part of the famous compromise measures of 1S50 , which wore supposed by their promoters to have forever sottlcd the slavery question. The discus sion 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 bo with or without slavery , as the constitution should provldo at the time of admission , Utah territory has from the outset been the homo of the Mormons. Gentiles have settled there , Indeed , but the Mormons have been In the majority and In the ascendant That there should bo constant friction and conlllct between the Mormon hierarchy and the United States was Inevitable. Her his tory Is stained by same of the foulest crimes on record. The stories of the Gunnlson , a and the Mountain Meadow Massacre are not pleasant historical chapters. The territory was In o state of war against the govern ment In 1857-58 , and the hierarchy was de fiant , The war In Kansas was for freedom ; that In Utah was In defense of a dlslo > al , rebellious hierarchy. The hope of the hierarchy for the preservation of Its power anil for polygamy lay at the beginning In Btatohoood , and at each crisis In Its affairs since statehood has been sought us the means of csc-npo from the authority of the United States. DEFIANCE OF YOUNG. The federal olllclals were virtually forced to leave the territory In September , 1851 , and there was nonu left to dispute the authority of Urlglmm Young as governor. By an act of the legislature In 1853 voting by ballot at elections was practlcaly abolished and the Mormon hierarchy was supreme. In March , 1856 , another state constitution was adopted under the style of the state of Doseret , but congress would have none of It , and the troublesome Utah war , In which General Harvey was In command of the UulUd State * forces , followed. In 18G.3 another attempt ( o secure ! ' stntclnocl wan made On the 17th of March Young Iswd a proclamation , styling Mmsclf govcinor- clnct , calling a general nuemlily , and ordered the election of "iiitors to congress. The reply to this was the Introduction In thr BCiialo of a bill by S niter Morrlll "to punish and prevent the practice of polygamy In the territories of the United Sto'es. " This bill was not enacted , nor did the nppc.al for ad mission as a state receive much attention. Doubts as to the loyalty of the Mormons to the union cause were too prevalent In Wash Inqton for this. The antagonism between the federal and the local atithnrltle * continue I until what Is known as the Poland bill passed congress and became a law In 1871. This regulated the courts and judiciary of tho. territory , and under It some batter semblance of law and order prevailed. But the twin relic , the Mormon evil , slbl remained. I'lans for Its abolition were numerous , and for the most part Imprac'lcable The Edmunds act of Marcli 22 , 1SS2 , wan the outcome of this discussion. It made polvgamy a crlmo punishable by dlsfranchlseinent and other heavv penalties , and placed the terri tory under the control of n federal commis sion. This act led to another attempt to secure adntlMlon to the union. A constitu tion was drawn up and was presented to congress by Dsleisnto Calne1 , 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 coiumlfslor. entered upTin Its work. Opinions differ as to Its thorough ness. The Monnon hierarchy profetses Itself to have abandoned pol > gamy as a tenet of the Mormon faith. The new con. stltutlon now approved by congress pro hibits It. The territory has ample popula tion , Is wealthy , materially prospeious , and has every promise of a brilliant state career. NERVE CARRIED HIMTHROUGII. An Iiiillin Agent Mho "tit" the Ilirro Murderers ( if an Old Aliin. A tall , keen-eyed , squari-shouldered , 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 I ! street In Washington toward Newspaper Kovv. As ho passed an army officer stepped forward and shook hands with him cor dially and then rejoined his companions "Do you know who that Is ? " said the military man to a Star reporter. "No7 Well , that's ex-Special Agent Cooper of the Indian ofllce. Eveijbody In the far west knows Jim Cooper. He has nerve enough to supply n whole family of mountain lions and have enough left to equip several companies of hard riding Indian nghters. During the stormy times at 1'lno Hldgc agency several 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 Uldge from the Tongue HIver reservation of the Northern Cheycnnes , up In Montana , where ho followed a career that was full of exciting adventures. "Ono Incident that may give you some Idea ns to the character or the man oc curred up on the Tongue Ulvcr reservation In the latter part of the 'EO'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 ago 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 boys would have to be brought In and delivered up to answer for their crime. The Indians said they didn't know where the boys were , and Cooper very plainly told them that they were lying. Then they asked him how many ponies ho would taKe to let up In the prosecu tion of the criminal ! ) , and Cooper said that he wouldn't listen to any such taiu as that , but that what he wanted was tne uoys and that ho wanted them brought In without any further palavering or subterfuge or delay. The father of one of the ; bojs grow very In dignant at Cooper's determined stand and said that the boys would como In all right , but that Cooper was too big a coward to meet them. "This was the Indian way of challenging Cooper to a fight. Ho 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 rille and started out. The Cheyennes ranged themselves round on the bluffs and waited for the fun to begin , ready to talto a hand In an Instant , If necessary Cooper knew that If he showed the slightest signs of nervous ness or fear the Indians would make short work of him , burn everjthing 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 gene to hiding. He called on the six or seven Indian police that were or , duty at the reservation to stand by him , however , and took the precaution to send ono of them after a cavalry truop , I think it was troop A of the First , that was camped down on the Lame Deer. "Pretty soon Cooper saw a couple of Choy- onnes In full war paint and regalia riding like mad down the trail toward the agency. They wcio the boys who had murdered the old man. As they came within range the agent raised his rllle and plugged one of them so good and hard that ho rolled off his pony and gave up the ghost without a single kick. The other ono began circling aiound and around for a little while , as Indians do , getting ready for a rush , and Cooper awaited his opportunity to get a good shot nt him , when the cavalry troop appeared. Then came the strangest part of the proceeding. The joung Indian charged directly at the line of United States soldiers and went right through It , wounding four horses as he did so. But when ho had gene through somebody whirled that troop around , and the result was that In less than throe wags of a sheep's tall Mr. Indian boy wad as full of holes as any piece of honeycomb you ever saw In your life. "Thero was no more trouble at the Tongue Ulver reservation while Cooper was there and the Choycnnes respected him. You mustn't Imagine from this fact that the northern Chevenno Is a weak specimen of the Indian. Those fellows at Tongue river were the very same who were taken down ' to Indian Territory many jears ago and es 'I caped and were not overhauled or stopped until they hnd gone north to within fifty or sixty miles of Pine Hldge , and the govern ment didn't try to get them to go back any more. They are llorco to a degree and the best nghters that live today , but still they are upright In their dealing * and the char acter of their lives may bo appreciated when the fact Is known tlntt there Is not a woman among the Northern Cheyennes who Is not perfectly virtuous.

John one night went over to his Dulclnea's domicile , which was a two-story one , and whistled like all good , romantic lovers. This brought his fair one to a second end story window. John stood on a box and lifted her down. They went to the town , got a license and were married that night. They were eventually forgiven by the bride's parents and have lived with them ever since. They are going to southern Califor nia , where he will take up fruit farming. nt Balloon BOM UD. t Courtland , BRYAN illUST DECIDE SOON1) May Win Populist Support for Senator by Stumping for Populist State Tiokot. THIS CONDITION IS AN ULTIMATUM Pcoplo'n I'nrly Mill Initonin Him for Gov ernor Only on Condition that Ho Julnn Hie 1'nrlj Pimm of I ho Democrats. The young anil ambitious congressman from the First Nebraska district , William Jennings IJryan , Is likely to bo ground between , the upper and nether millstones of politics this fall In a manner that will be as surprising to himself as It will be painful to his friends , The young man Is paying the penalty of a too nnxlous desire to assume the sola dl- rectlon of his party , as well as to stand In the role of a confidential adviser to a third party. As he might have expected , his own party leaders resent his forwardness and the third party people look upon his advice so freely tendered with Illy concealed suspicion. There Is probably no one In the state who has the right to assert that Congressman Brvarf desires to be a candidate for gov ernor on a fusion ticket. There Is probably no one who can assert with authority that ho has worked or waited for that end. If the young man himself were to be accused of such an ambition , ho would deny It. But In splto of this fact , It Is certain that the leaders ot the administration wing of the Nebraska democracy believe that such Is Mr. Bryan's ambition They believe It so strongly that thev have arranged a carefully designed scheme which will make it absolutely Im possible for Bryan 01 any of his free silver democratic friends to accept a nomination from the populist party without Ilrst openly and publicly announcing his divorcement from the democratic party. The plan to hold a late democratic convention will prevent Brian or any other free silver democrat from obtaining a populist Indorsement. This Is ccitaln. But the populists themselves have also laid their plans for Mr Bryan's dlEComnture. The chairman of the populist state central committee has but recently returned from a tour through a largo part of the state , during which he consulted with a ma jority of the members of the executive com mittee. Ho has discovered that the populist leaders are opposed to thu Indorsement of Bryan for govenor unless be breaks abso 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 10 , 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. Ho can have this support under no other circumstances or conditions. Mr. Brian will hardly disavow his desire to be the succes ful candidate for United States senator to succeed Senator Mander- son. He has hoped all along to receive the support of both democrats and Independents. The administration democrats are deter mined that Brjan shall not bo the next democratic senator from Nebraska , provided that a democrat can be elected. They are determined for two rea ons. One Is that they do not want a United States senator who will take Issue with the administration , and the other Is that they hope to throttle the free silver element in the democratic party In this state. In view of the situation , Bryan's wanderIngs - Ings within the next few weeks will be waited for with no little Interest by men of all parties. GOLDEN WEDDING AND DIVORCE The Agc'd W Ifo of u California Millionaire AskK fur I. ( > Ki'l * ( partition. John Bryson h probably the richest man , or at least one of the wealthiest , In south- ern California. Ho Is about 7B years old , and last March ho and his wlfo celebrated their golden wedding anniversary with great eclat. He Is Interested In a whole lot of banks and ow ns the celebrated Bryson block , on the corner of Second and Spring stieets , Los Angeles , one of the Hnest cdlttccs on the coast , and has been mayor of Los AnT1 gelcs. Despite his years , "Undo 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 beven sons , and they are trying their best to bring about 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 ntty odd years ago. Fortune was kind to the husband and ho gathered wealth. Children were born to the pair , and health , wealth and happiness formed a tilumvlrato of the choicest con ditions men strive so eagerly to obtain. Of late years , however , It has been whispered that there 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. Brjson finally resorted to the courts The complaint Is particularly specific all along the line and who has smiled on Mr. Brjson with favor is men tioned. A demand Is also made for halt the community property , which Is supposed to be of the value of $2,000,000. The docu ment also contains allegations of cruel treatment , and the period of cruelty covers ono year and a half , and that of frivolity three years. As soon as the complaint was filed Mrs Bryson left the city and Mr. Bry son Is engaged In searching out her where abouts In order to settle the dltllcultlos and arrange a reconciliation. MODERN CHIVALRY. ho Spirit or Sir A\altir IK by No MCIIIIH I.xt net , She was a fair West Thlladelphlan who had just returned from a shopping tour In vl the city , says the Press , She carried three bundles too precious to bo left for dellverj wagon and a mackintosh and two boxes of candy aho balanced In uncertain equilibrium about her. He was a big , plain , overjday vvorklngnuin , and his weapon was a pick , with which he waged successful war upon the cobblestones and thu dirt of a badly mutilated West Philadelphia street. Three llttlo strips of wood were supposed to be enough at the point where she demounted from the car to enable fcot passengers to cross the muddy thorougnfare , hut just as she came opposite the man a little tilt of the flimsy pontoon bridge sent ono of her daintily .shod feet up to the ankle Into a flno yellow mud hole , and when she draw It out ' was a sight to make ono weep. She could not go on without Hopelessly soiling the edge of her skirt. She could not stoop for bundles. She stood In petrified perplex ity Then the spirit of Sir Walter Raleigh showed Itself. The pick was dropped and the man grabbed a llttlo stick and said "Waft , miss , on' I'll clean yor shoo off. " There seemed to bo nothing clso to do , so slio waited. The rest of the gang leaned on tholr picks and shovels and watched the scone out of the corners of their eyes , When had elono all the execution ho could with the stick and qulto a respectable pile of clay had been scraped from the > small shoe ho whisked out a rod bandana hand kerchief , a sort of substitute for Raleigh's crimson cloak , and still kneeling boforp her , notwithstanding her protest that ho would get It dirty , proceeded to clean the shoe with that. She thanked hint and walked down the street , with a little blush on her Is check. Ho touched his well-worn hat and gazed after her for a few moments , then stuffed the bandanna In his overalls pocket , saying : "It wasn't very clean , anyhow , " and was again a common laboring man.

There were no very choice cattle. One small wbi bunch brought $3.90 , which was the highest biPI prlco paid. The market did not show tiny PIm material change. There were close to ten loads of cows on the market , most of them being rather common. The market was steiely , with no very heavy demand Prices ranged very low , owing to the quality of the offerings. The offerings of calves were lib eral nnd the market lower. The sales ranged mostly from $1.25 to $2.25. The highest bid on the best veal calves was only $300. As usual on a Saturday the market on stockcrs and feeders was not very active Prices were about steady with yesterday , but dealers are generally figuring a decline of from 30c to 50c , as compared with ten days ago. The decline has been the heaviest on the light and common grades. HOGS Slightly Improved markets In the c-ast nnd the light receipts had the effect of raising the hog market at this point Cc There was a pretty fair demand on the part of both packers and shippers nnd the trade was qulto active at the opening. While atone ono time the trade slowed up and looked a llttlo weak , the hogs were finally all sold In good season at the advance noted above The majority of the sales were made at from $4.75 to $480 , as against $4.70 to $175 > esterday. The week closes just Cc higher than It was at the close of last week. The market touched the highest point of the weUc on Tuesday , when heavy hogs sold at from $195 to $5.05. SHEEP The sheep market was about steady , with a fair demand and moderate receipts. Some common mixed sheep brought $225 , while some choice lambs brought $3.75. These prices were generally considered about COc lower than the market of a week ago. Fair to good natives are quotable at $2750315 ; fair to good west erns , $25002.75 : common and stock sheep , $1.7502.23 ; good to choice lambs , $2.50 ® 3.75. ItrrclpM mill Disposition of Stock.

CHICAGO , July 21. Wheat closed without the slightest appcnranco of rallying , although at the lowest prlco known since the present system of trading commenced , September finishing with a loss ot T c. Corn closed He hlghar , oats a&c higher and provisions with but little change. In wheat there was a very moderate trade , the prlco keeping within from ' , c to % o range. There was frco lleiuldatlon by longs and not much dcmuid outside the bii > lng by shorts. The weakness wns due largely to the lower cables , the decline'In otttnldc mar kcts and the disappointing cxportii for the week. The weather abroad was said to be Improving , and this was also a minor factor. Liberal receipts at winter wheat points and talk of prospects of some kind of a settle titl of the elevator troubles were Inllucncos that cut considerable of a figure with the course ( of the market. The continued favorable reports where threshing is In progress gross { , was something of a factor , showing a much j larger j Icld than , exp'cted. Exports of wheat ami Hour were very moderate 2iiG,000 wtl . The market grew weaker again near the closing hour , Inlluonccd by the brc.tk at Minneapolis , and the liberal estimates re ceived here for Monday 101 cars Corn was eiulct within from } c to V4c range The market was oisy early with wheat , but reicted later on light offerings and fair demand. Oats were e.isy early with wheat and corn , but firmed up , closing at the top on good buying and unfavorable Iowa crop reports. The range was ytc for September. Provisions were verj dull , but steady on the steady live hog market. Compircd with last night September pork and ribs are un changed and September lard 2'sc higher. Freights slow ; a load of corn was taken at "Ke to Iluffalo. Estimated receipts for Monday. Wheat , 401 cars ; corn , 215 cars ; oats , 85 cars ; hogs , 27,000 head , with 123,000 he.id next week.
