proportionate increase throughout the winter by the time congress adjourns there may inay be created sufficient interest to send the lobby buck with something upon which they way may hang hanf expectations for a continuation of favors a year from now the most painful thing in connection with the presence here of the L LOYAL LEAGUE LOBBY after the failure of the president to wipe I 1 tout out your people in his message lg is the deliberate manner in which all prominent papers have ignored mentioning this fatal oversight on OB the part of the chief executive and I 1 can only attribute this to a most criminal negligence on the part of the delegation here it is true that the alleged lawyer B R N baskin the man who it if I 1 am Int informed ormed aright was rejected by the people of ef litah when he be desired to represent them in congress and who now shows his bis appreciation pre clation tor for their manhood by endeavoring deavo ring to have caera placed in the th hands bands lof of a set of alleged lawyer was interviewed by a new york herald berald iman man and among other things made these assertions the women are led to the polls in droves and made to vote as their masters require this is not only true of women who have reached the age of 21 but goes further in putting the ballot into the hands bands of every woman no matter what her age BO long as she is married nine tenths of the mormon women not only support themselves but in many cases contribute to their husbands Ilus bands maintenance 0 very often you on will find them working in the allds fields ploughing sloughing hing and sowing mowing precisely as the men do A mormon dare not patronize a gentile to do so would gring bring him at once under the ban ot of the church the rich are relatively very rich and the poor miserably poor once a man maii becomes a mormon he has bound himself body and soul to a theocracy which for tyranny and cruel ex exactions actions has bat no parallel on howth P 1 I am told the mormon lobby here which also includes their attorneys costs them at least if a year it does seem incredible that such a man knowing the people to be what he be now itow asserts would ever have been willing aliling to TAKE ANY OFFICE by their r s sufi cages his bids for votes for dell A g ean utah considered with the tos pos position t tion he now takes would leave mighty little room for a decent man to crawl around in but bat he be app appears tars here as large as life and the fact that what he says now opposes what he has said heretofore does not seem to cause him any uneasiness he has a liberal conscience and must rep resent a constituency that thai can hardly oe de noted as being fastidious about its diplomats judge bennett has I 1 am credibly ormeda uriah heap goody goody air it is 10 also stated that he be was a leading lawyer in a certain celebrated mining suit in utah at the hearing bearing of which 0 J powers presided that in ha the efforts made to have hav rowers ePowers removed it was charged by J G sutherland of your city that this man 0 WA W bennett ennett had used undue influence to secure a decision favorable to his bis client it was not stated that bennett hid had offered to bribe or had bad bribed the judge but the very mention ot ol his name in connection with so disgraceful an affair would seem to have so affected an honest lawyer that he be darle dare never zest lest until the as person was removed but mr bennett does not appear to have lost any flesh llesh for he has a well padded and abd sleek appearance he occupies a a suite of rooms at the arlington which must cost him fill all of A MONTH and as the league gives him but it is very reasonable to assume assume that he Is not here for the health of the loyl loyal league nor for his bi own happiness lie he has I 1 am told never had the reputation of being a man who loved any or all allot of the children of men half so well as himself what his other motive is has not yet developed but as a man of his intellect can grasp and adequately deal with several grave subjects at the same time he be will probably make as good a showing tor for the donation he be receives as his colleague the great rejected B A young man of small figure with optics of insufficient power and eface face as devoid of the appearance of character as a plate late of porridge is also here he also to Is accredited with being one of the lobby and his strength is reputed to lie he in the fact that he be is a nephew of the late brigham young and has bas taken pains in times past to lettke people know that he considered his birth anything but legitimate it must strike those acquainted with the antecedents of this lobby that those who send them are very hard bard up for mater material or their cause must be a very unco one but there still is ia another Lan lannann nanI think it hn hi name who also pulls iu in the latue satue I 1 am aim informed loi ormed that he to is connected with what purports to be something of Is a newspaper he is said to be a great reasoner a mao man of powerful intellect and eloquent to an unusual degree combining in his nature the flery fiery eloquence of the frenesi

is on the whole one whose character is free from aspersion and the only one whose conduct seems to be consistent it is reported furthermore that the dele delegation delegat aaion fon is to be

zen i of washington ashington to place a few copass in their mining nets an effort is to be made on tuesday next by mr tucker to bring up the EDMUNDS TUCKER BILL this he be proposes to do by resolution and to continue the consideration 01 that precious measure from day to da day until it shall have been definitely aciz acted upon provided of course it can be got up for deliberation about this there is good reason for doubt The day following has boa already been set aside for the consideration of another measure and it is quite unlikely that mr tucker himself has any wa idea that lie he will succeed he may however secure the consent of the house that some other day be fixed upon for its consideration I 1 ain am also informed that the head and front of the loyal lobby the bushy busby and brassy baskin h has as expressed himself very la lately tely Bover averi the prospects and he is b befogged and aad bewildered over the improbability P rob ability of his bill getting a attention at any time during this session of congress the early introduction of appropriation bills the rival claims of tariff reformers and the many other things which are arc of vastly more importance to the people at large in a political sense than the whole of utah put together render the chances for due consideration of this measure very precarious indeed if it should vel me meet puthy proportionately inthe in the honse with as much opposition as the original did in the senate it will certainly certaine taini be defeated or be materially modified the great rest danger is however that it will ae be if at all discussed brought up and rushed through at a galop as beag being only for I 1 I 1 those d d mormons cormons Mor mons anyhow and the they have neither reputation U
