Now H'rer Sargent did not voluntarily baud over the spurs. Ambition would not have permitted. By whose command under what subtlo "revelation" was it done? a a And the superb submissiveness with which H'rer Bargettl turned over the mantle reveals Hint he is not altogether without a virtue, though it be raised to th surface under the lUnging lean ot latter-day bigotry. Half Ifrer Arnett takes to the unique assignment as-signment like a ragged urehia to a Chineai tire ( l acker, unable to longer brook hi zeal he applied the legislative heel to the liberal party yesterday afternoon, and, ripped up that PaulkneT plank like a madman.

And, while the new leader of the mormon assembly is espousing homo rule, or untaxed un-taxed Statehood, it becomes more apparent each day that the "antipathy" of the mormon mor-mon toward the admission of Utah is, growing grow-ing less and less and less.

If there is any man who doubts the texture and endurance of Senator Raskin's backbone let him settle himself in the lobby any day when the minority report of the "turnover" "turn-over" committee is being read. President King is a man of too many resources, re-sources, too much pereeptivenoss and too much independence of spirit to endure, much longer, the bigotries of the dark ages, and each day witnesses a new manifestation that leans towards revolution. Naturally, King is a man of parts, hut never will they mature so long as they are hernictrieally sealed in the dogmas of any church or religion. re-ligion.
