1 1 i I MORNING EXAMINER, THE EXAMINER PaUbM (my day la tkt year by Cw tha Standard Publishing CHURCH INFLUENCE. Hon. Brigham H. Roberts is bis speech at tbe Opera House, in a fruitless effort to Intimidate the voters of tha state, .raid, that if the Republican party won in this state, not with standing the defection of the Kearns that tha case of the protectants against Senator Reed 8 a toot would be made out, that the senatorial committee would (figuratively speaking) rend their cloches and say,. "What need we of any further testimony?" etc. Of course. Brother Roberts was sincere, and will, no doubt, be willing to appear before the Smoot committee and point out the dire effects of this terrible "influence" in his home state and demand that Senator Smoot should have a touch from the same Jhioi that accelerated his own homeward journey from Washington. The Salt Lake Tribune of ibis morning, with tbe fires of its hate still smoldering not quite extinguished by tbe great Republican landslide publishes the letter with which Charley Jackson announces his accession to the party and then proceMis to tell of numerous and nameless Democrats who privately voice the sentiments of Mr. Jackson's ual-Icletter. Tbe Tribune's and impotent rage are worth as much as, and no mure than tha bluster of Brother Roberts. Utah did just exactly the same, no better, than the rest of tbe United States. Coming back, however, to Brother Roberts, we must admit that the state has gone Republican. "Ergo (sara Brother Roberts) church influence ia accountable for it. "We told you so, squawks the Tribune. And so they rest the rase. Let us investigate the matter mure closely, This paper plants itself squarely upon tha declaration of tba constitution of the United Stales that "Congress shall make no law respecting au establishment of religion, or prohibiting tbe free exercise thereof. Our stale constitution has reaffiruu-this; we believe in It; we are willing to fight with voice and pen any party, or nutn or set of men who attempt any innovation against this principle. This, of course, Includes all forms of "church influence, and all other methods of coercing and persuading voters outside of tha usual method! ot political argument and persuasion. But, ss we scan the election returns, the wonder to ua ia that Brother Roberts and tbe mighty Tribune are content to wreak their vengeance upon little Utah alone when poor there is such broad a field In tbe great United States for the exercise of their undaunted courage and much admired talents. Judged by tbe test which they hava laid down, wa tbink there la conclusive proof of church Influence all over the United States. In the name of American manhood and to tba sad that our great and glorious country be liberated from the baleful effects of an ecclesiastical hierarchy, we shall file a protest against the tasting of the electoral votes of the several states for Theodore Roosevelt until suck time aa It la shown that tho Mormon priesthood did not eorrn and Intimidate the voters of the country with their whisperings and secret instructions. Think what "EVIDENCE" (according to Roberts and (ha Tribune) aa hava of tbls in that election baleful influence returns Look at Pennsylvania, Ohio, Now York, Iowa, Minnesota, California and Nebraska. In fact, all over the country in every state, in every county, in every product, tbe evidence multinot down. plies, accumulates and Even old rock-ribbMissouri, a state that expelled tbe Saints, and Illinois whose people, like those of Jeniaslam of old, atoned tbe prop I ml and killed those that were sent, etc., have at ' last fallen under the sway of, and yielded to this terribly corrupting aad We have, much dreaded influence. heretofore, opposed the party because it fed on hate, because It was in no sense a national party, because its voters could not express their sentiments on national Issues without (he aid or asatHtanc of some other party, hut now that the Democratic party Is dead we see a groat Utah opauing for this organisation.

Tbs drciaod for wool continues active, but tbs volums of butanes transacted is not as large as It was a few luoalba ago, for tlie reason '.hat there is not aa large a Block of wool to do with as there was then. Supplies of medium wools especially have been to reduced that It ie difficult to find many says desirable aad sizable selorti-ms- , the American Wool and Cotton Report er. The finer grades, though not relatively aa active aa the loser grades, have been In decidedly better request than they ware a year ago, and tba supply of this class of wool is not burdensome by any means, for wools bare been moved so very freely In original clips this year that stocks of fine and fins medium wools which would ordinarily Mist at lhe seaboard marketa today, hava disappeared. Not for many years. If ever, baa tne demand for wool continued so active for suck a length of time. Ordinarily there would be, perhaps, three or four ' weeks of pmaouneed activity, followed by a dull period; but this year, throughout the greater part of the summer and during the fall, thus far, the demand has eoaflaued active, with scarcely any let-uThis haa resulted, of course, in placing wool in a statistically strong position, and the strength of the situation seems to be intennillrd as time passes. Prices, therefore, are fully aa high as they have ben at any time, and In view of the diminishing supplies of wool it la not surprising that dealers In wool, whose aioeka hava become substantially exhausted, should now be . purchasers of desirable and sizable clips, whenever they can obtain them at a reasonable price. The events of the past few months indicate pretty exclusively that stocks of the raw malarial in tha hands of the manufacture res must have been at a pretty low level when the season for the new wools started In. Since the beginning of June there have been sold In the Boston market more than 140,000.-00- 0 pounds of wool, an amount never equalled before In the same period In any previous yean The great bulk of this wool has not been purchased for e peculation; It haa ben bought for and those in touch with the mans feet ring situation have no doubt that It will all be needed. p.

We rannot but think It strange that no one of the great Democratic leaders has been sufficiently upon this subject to lay the facts before the public. Judge Parker in bis statement seems to have overlooked this most potent factur in hla own defeat and undoing. In a lengthy address, which seems to have been carefully prepared, the distinguished jurist goes over tbe whole situation wit 'tout a single reference to the actual cause of the great landslide which carried him down. Mr. Bryan, unquestionably the greatest Democrat in the country, haa been beard from at considerable length and he, too. overlooks this mast powerful evlL This must be most exasperating to tbe patriots of Utah who have pledged "their lives, their property and their sacred honor to tbe great cause of human liberty. and who alone of all the defeated Wa call can tell "bow it happened. awake! to Utah upon tha patriots Bound the tocsin of libertyl Let tha eagle'a scream from the lofty peaks of the Wasatch reverberate over a continent!

Tha death of Edward Drencher at Caldwell, Tex., a few day ago, after ha had baon found on tbe pnbiio highway covered with red ants, by which ha had been bitten to Insensibility, recall! a strange tale headed down by the Spaniards with regard to the mysterious depopulation of Sevilla Nue-va- , or Sevilla d'Oro, the first civilised city of the western hemisphere. Bayard Edwards In his History of the West Indies, says that Sevilla dOro was destroyed by an .earthquake, a far mine, a corsair rind, a native insure reetkm or an ant pest" This la quaintly uncertain aad widely comprehensive, but the fact that other historians sgrea that the city was destroyed in one night would point tha finger of responsibility to tha ant pest or something equally mysterious, particularly when all tha olrcu instances of tbe mat ter are known, so far aa it ia possible for any one to know them. Twenty years after tha discovery of tha New World by Christopher Columbus, the West Indies boasted two cities. One was Hispaniola, now Santo Domingo, the other was Sevilla Nneva, or Sevilla d'Oro, the ruins of which may be viewed today on a sugar estate which still bears the name Seville. situated about one mile to the west of St. Ann's Bay on the north coast of the Island of Jamaica. This Island was then known as Xaymaca and St. Ann's Bay as Bantu Gloria, which was the chief port of the Golden Seville. This city, according to historians, was built by wealthy Spaniards who had gone to the Indies attracted by the wealth and beauty of the region as described by Columbus to Queen Isabella. The Golden Seville in the year 1509 waa possessed of a cathe-a dral. a monastery, a theater and pavement extending over one mile." After the death of Columbus and Queen Isabella, Diego Columbus, the son at the discoverer, was at law with Ferdinand of Arregon over the vice Ferdinand, regal rights of who wished to have full control of the rich iffiaaAa, ignored Diego Columbus and his claims, and appointed m governor of Xaymaca Don Juan Esquivel. Esquivel lived and held magnificent d'Oro, court. It 'Is said, at Seville whore were gathered all the riohee, beauty and blood of Castile, Arregon and the Indies. Several times tha doubt has been raised that the city could have existed in such splendor at such an early date after tbe discovery, but the Golden Seville's existence land magma cence does not seem so improbable when it is remembered that the Spaniards bad all tbe wealth they wanted, culled not only from tbe rich Island In which they placed their capital, but from tbe surrounding seas, which they were constantly raiding. The city was also the rendezvous of all the Spanish, French and English corsairs who at that time infested the main. The fact that gold will not obtain a fo-in a place where gold la of little value ia scarcely an argument against the existence of Seville d'Oro, when it is agreed by all historians that the indolent Spaniards made slaves of the aborigines, Carib and Arawak Indiana and com pel led them by violence to bring from the forests of (h Interior all that waa required by the city in tbs way of food, drink and labor. It Seville d'Oro was a fact and there seems little reavm to doultt it the cltv owed Its mushroom growth and splendor to thousands of Indian slaves, who were coerced into building It for the conquerors. The sudden disaster which befell city in !'") is said by righteous Ije b'Morlans to bare been a visitation of God upon the wickedness of tbs Spaniards. Th story is, briefly, as follows: About- tbe yar 1309 Don Juan Esquivel. th- - governor, fitted out a number of caravels and galloons and started upon an expedition to Fanula, on the Spanish Main.

Up to th year 1509 Da Garay bad not had full control of affairs in any part of tha Indies, and on finding himself supreme administrator at tba beautiful city of Seville d'Oro he gave way to his own conceit and misruled tha Uttl kingdom. It is handed down that the Golden Seville, during the absence of Esquivel, waa tbe scene of unbridled vice and ribaldry that would have put even Nero and bla Rome to shams. Arawak Indians were slaughtered aa a form of entertainment, while in ths streets there rang day and night the sounds of strife, for the corsairs, finding the city in a state of ehaoe and misrule, took advantage of the moment to loot what aad where they could. This reign of terror culminated at tha beginning of tha second reins, ' whtch eoonr in tba month of October.

It la recorded that during tha night previous to ths breaking of the semiannual deluge, and while the oourt of Don Pranelseo de Garay waa holding a last festival b of ere ths reins," out at the Jungle which surrounded the city on three sides came this livwave, ing, moving, hissing, blood-re- d which drove every other living thing before It. There la something morbidly fascinating about that picture of the men and women running through the quaint streets of this strange city trying to escape tbls trickling blood-lik-e stream. It ia said that very few escaped the poet which seethed through every crevice and cranny of the city, destroy-- 1 ing, as it passed, all that was organic. Borne are bettered to have escap-- 1 ed in boats, tbe most of wbiob, how-- , ' ever, were swamped in the launching. Others who did not give way to sup-- I erstition and the terror of the moment, followed the example of the Arawak slaves, who knew exactly what the red wave was and how to deal with it. They did not run from the ants, but dashed right through them and gained the jungle, which the pest Invariably forsakes during the wet season. Those who were fortunate enough to escape from the Golden Seville cut a way through tha. labyrinthine forest and founded a small settlement on the south side of the island.

Tbe most dramatic part of the story of the oertlle is that told of the return of Don Juan Esquivel.
