When able power, there is the proper material OGDEN LETTER. Truth let the Sutherland sensational cat out of the bag, the manufacturers of the only true blue brand of politics hastily took an inventory of the stock on hand with a view to getting a rating in the new political market. The announcement, while not speaking by the card, was the signal for a readrods, justment of political lightning and the usual amending of political forecasts. Strange to say, Bill did not receive the news with any degree of comfort. In fact he regarded it as a sign ominous to his hopes. And therein lies much wisdom. Because a man is a Russian is no indication he cannot see things through a long distance telescope. With the glass to his eye Bill views the elimination of Sutherland from the Congressional race as a portent of evil. He sees the gloved hands of his archenemies of old, shaping the handicap so that a member of the dominant To his church will have a walk-ove- r. Gentiles of three the eye sight practical as the representatives frohi Utah in Congress does not look good from a church standpoint, and he knows that the exigencies may require a candidate who is not a Gentile. The passing of Sutherland means that all Gentiles will have to go way back and sit down. And thus it is, that when a candidates foresight is superior to his hindsight, he is able to see his own finish without the aid of a peepstone. Another long dstance view shows another obstacle of the same kind in the way of our egotistical statesman. The convention which nominates the next Congressman will also nominate the successor to Judge Miner. Here again will the hand of the politician, be election it is shown. In an good polities for the Republicans to equalize the ticket by enough courtesy to the dominant church to insure the loyal support of all Republican churchmen. In other words, both candidates should not be Gentiles. Now, it is a safe bet that the candidate for the Supreme bench will not be a churchman. Thus the probability of a Mormon Congressman looms up like Ban-qughost at the feast of Macbeth off-ye- ar os Bill. But there are other ways of killing a cat besides choking it with gum drops. Whats the matter with electing a churchman for Senator. Thats the question which is asked in thunderous tones through sanctum and corridor of the Standard office. As the echo dies away the light of ambition breaks through the gloom of circumstances and the heart of the is glad again. Right here is another chance for a combination play. If there is any senatorial candidate, churchman, of course, who wants to take a hand at Bills game, now is the time to subscribe. Governors and apostles preferred.

The dual editor of the Emery County Progress has made a new historical discovery. Some people may conclude, after reading it, that they have made an ass of themselves (thats the proper expression, dear reader), but some people are not entitled to an opinion in the blazing light shed by these explorers in the mysteries of chronology. Commenting upon the reprimands which Gen. Sherman has received at the hands of the Secretary of War and the President, these editor (another - proper expression, if you please), allude to the commander of the army as a "Jaw fighter. For the benefit of the most intelligent and sapient writers on the Emery County Progress, those gentlemen who have made the paper famous, not only at- - home, but abroad in other countries, we would like to suggest that this statement is the destruction of another idol which we have worshipped so long. Like the legend of William Tell, the story of Washington and the hatchet and the blow delivered to the Hon. William Patterson, all the glory which has clustered around the name of Miles is swept away in one fell sweep. Up to date we have been led to believe that Miles was not a "jaw fighter" by any means. The Administration which was presided over by the martyred at Lincoln made him a the age of 26 for gallant conduct, and conspicuous ability. He commanded a division at one time during the War of the Rebellion, and is said to have displayed wonderful sagacity in the work. The history which we have read informs us that at bloody Chancellors-vlllwhen all was dark and gloomy for the Union forces, that Miles, then a Colonel, held the Union skirmish line with so much coolness, bravery and intrepedlty that Hancock was enabled to score one of the few, very few, Hancock successes of the fighting. commended him in person on that day, Couch. It was and so did Maj.-Gethere that Miles was wounded several times while engaged in the very thickest of the fighting and was carried away to die. But he did not, and at Cold Harbor, Reams Station and a dozen other fields fought well. That i3 to say he fought well, according to history. Later he is alleged to have done considerable scrapping with Indians in this Western country, and the same history records his valor in many Instances while subduing redskins. But if the Emery County Progress, with its able writers, asserts Miles was a "jaw fighter, of course that settles it. All that remains now is to have Maclay write another history and to so designate him on the authority of the erudite steersmen of the Progress, who ought to know.

It that some of the near the city do not attend people church regularly, says the Walla Walla Statesman. At an examination in a school not many miles away, a few days ago, the teacher asked a boy to write all he knew about Joan of Arc. He wrote as follows: "Joan of Ark was out in a ship when he was thrown overboard, and before he was drowned a shark swallowed him, and one day the shark swum away and come into land and shaked Joan of Ark up, and he was not the worst after it.North-wes- t Magazine.

This week it has something to add. This time commendatory. The church has decided to let women in as delegates to the general conference. There are those who voted against the action alluded to. They can be pictured easily. It needs no Lovey or Dutton to cartoon them. Just imagine a lot of solemn-visage- d old lobsters with dyspepsia and galway whiskers, attired in rusty jeans pants, with kip boots on (the lobsters, not the pants) quoting the words of Paul, Let all women learn in silence and subjection, for I suffer not a woman to teach nor to usurp authority, and there you have them. Gad. What a heaven it will be if those fellows are permitted inside without being rejuvenated. Made over, as it were. Just like an old stove. Broken up, remelted and recast. That will be the way to fix them. Remodel them so they will forget and then make sentinels of them on the walls for steen million years before giving them harps. Because a soprano in the heavenly choir would cause them to either rebel against the authorities of Paradise or rush to Paul to see if he had amended his doctrines. Paul! Who was Paul, anyway? Just a crusty old bachelor who had been jilted by some girls in his time and was sore on women ever afterward. He had to be stricken blind before he amounted to anything, anyway. Now, dear Methodist brother, dont, please dont say this is blasphemy. It isnt, by any means. You folks have been remodeling your creed a good bit of late, and old dogma is giving way to common sense, and there may be a time, some day, when Paul will get his just deserts. You did a nbble thing when you admitted women to your conference. Because you look to her to do almost everything else. She bakes the cake and the pie for the socials which you attend and gorge yourselves at 25 cents per, and she sweeps the floor room and washes of the Sunday-schothe messy plates after the banquet is over. She teaches the kids the Lords to Prayer and "Now I Lay Me Down toast around and while sit you Sleep, your shins and talk about the doctrine of foreordination and all that sort of tommy rot.
