WHY HOT?
We see the women who want to
vote are about to organize in Texas
to educate public sentiment in tavor
'of the "reform." Woman suffrage
might possibly be a good thing for
••us, but the Gazetteer has its mis-
misgivings. Marriage is a partner-
ship in which husband and wife
divide the work of the family. One
mutt attend to the household duties
Whlie the other rustles outside to get
Khe money to meet the expenses.
ha u rule the wife prefers to do the
ft Tint r, whil^ the man is beUer
ad *ptea' by nature to the latter, But
say thesi' ambitious ladies who
want more "fights," if a woman
owns property * «"kj*ct to taxation
she ought toha veavoice 5n savin8
how the money .taken from her by
city, county or state '* to exPend-
ed. There 13 some 'hing 'n that.
How would it do to fev >l our waV in
this Woman Suffrage
Suppose we first extend th e to
vote to the old maids? As t are
not embarrassed with family ties
they w6ufd be free to "stump'
country in behalf of their principlv -s'
or round up the boys on election '
day at Their own sweet will. If 1
after a fair trial the system was
fouqd to work s'liccesstully it might
be extended to widows over fitty.
The mote we t'.link of it the more
we are impressed* with the merits of
this plan, and tlie Gazetteer re-
spectfully submits it to ihe special
consideration of the pro moters of
i ihe Texas Woman Suffrage Associ
ation, now in ennbryo.
BOOTH CAROLINA LIQUOS LAW.
The South Carolina legislature has
passed a law designed to do away
with saloons entirely without depriv-
ing the people of their favorite bev-
erages. After July 15 all intoxi-
cants will be dispensed or sold to
consumers by bonded officers of the
state only in sealed packages rang-
ing from half a pint to tour gallons.
No packages can be opened on the
premises, and none will be sold to
minors or habitual drunkards. All
goods will be first analyzed by com-
petent chemists and their parity
guaranteed. Half of the profits of
the business will go to the state, one-
fourth to the county and the other
fourth to the municipality. A ma-
jority of the freehold voters must
sign a petition asking for a dispen-
sary before one will be opened in
any town or precinct. It is believed
the new system will be a source of
large revenue and do away with
many of the most obnoxious features
ot the liquor traffic. There is one
feature of this law that appears un-
just; it virtually destroys the busi-
ness ot a great number ot men who
have large sums oif money invested
in the liquor busitiess, without pro-
v iding for any remuneration for the
looses they must necessarily sustain.
The result ot this unique law will
be Watched with much interest all
over Ihe country, and if it proves a
success, will no doubt be adopted in
other states.
The Bight of Women in Te|as.
Last Monday Justice Blatchford,
for the supreme court of the United
States, delivered an opinion which
contained a declaration as to the
powers of married women in Texas
with relation to the disposal of real
estate. It was in brief that married
women may not dispose of property,
title to which rests in her name, un-
der and by virtue ot a power of at-
torney given her husband, although
he joins her in the deed executed by
him as such agent or attorney. In
this opinion the supreme court of
the United States overruled the judg-
ment ot the United States circuit
court tjf the northern district of
Texas in the case of Sarah R.
Mexia and E. A. Mexia, her hus-
band, against T. J. Oliver.

The refusal of the senate to con-
firm the postmasters who were
recommended to the president by
popular vote of the people is not
surprising, and, in fact, is only in
keeping with the courst! and charac-

A well authenticated report comes
from Washington to the effect that

"A WUflfiEKnJL PEOPLE."
The editor of the Gainesville Hes-
perian has attempted in a recent
issue to enlighten his readers con-
cerning "Mormonism." He says
the subject is well worth studying,
and indeed it is, but what follows
proves that he is himself a very poor
student. Having predicted the early
and steady decline of this peculiar
faith, he continues:
More than half a century ago, in the
little town ot Palmyra, N. Y., Joset'h
Smith, a worthless, indolent, itliterate
youth, professed to have dug some goldert
plates out of a hillside, and on these
plates were strange hieroglyphics. Smith
could not read otdtnary English, let alone
these strange marks. But he digged a
care in the hillside, got a drunken school
master to write for him while he trans-
latek the figures on the gold plate. This
made a manuscript of 60,000 words, and
when arranged arid printed it was the
famous Book of Mormon. Not a single
soul ever saw the gold plates or the hier*
oglrphics, and Smith did not make a
single convert ta his native town. Major
John Gilbert, ibe printer who pub-
lished it tor him, i* still living in Palmyra
and has the school master's manuscript.
Smith never paid Gilbert for publishing
the book, though the printer spent all he
had in getting it out.
There is scarcely a single fact cor-
rectly stated in the above. Whether
or not Joe Smith was "a worthless,
indolent, illiterate youth, who could
not read English/' is at least an
open question. He was not an
"educated" youth, that is. very true,
but he could read, and as early as 14
years of age he was a great bible,
reader. He once remarked to his
mother that he could learn as much
about religion in two hours in 'he
woods with his bible as she col'Id by
going to church two years. Nei ther
did he get a drunken school mast er
to write for him while he translated
the figures on the gold plates. His
wife did a good deal of the writing.
Martin Harris, a neighboring farm-
er, and John Whitmer also did some
of it, but Oliver Cowdery was his
amenuensis most of the time, and he
was no drunkard. Cowdery and Joe
Smith disagreed some years after-
ward, and the former was expelled
from the church, but he never denied
the genuiness of the Book of Mor-
mon. He practiced law a number
of years in Richmond, Mo., where
he was highly respected, and nearly
■^he last words he spoke on the bed
of death was in defense of his reli-
gion. He died in 1S50. Instead of
the manuscript making 60,000 words
it made over four times that number,
and it was all dictated by young
Smith inside of four months. Oliver
Cowdery, Martin Harris and David
Whitmer each testify that they saw
the plates, which certificate is pub-
lished in all editions of the Book
Mormon. David Whitmer resided
in Richmond, Mo., for over half a
century, where he died in iSSS, at
a ripe age, highly esteemed by all
who knew him as a good citizen and
an honest man. A short time be-
fore he died he called witnesses to
his bedside and bore testimony to
the truth ot his religion and the
genuiness of the Book ot Mormon.
He, too, had been excommunicated
by the prophet, but he never denied
his faith. The first edition of the
Book Of Mormon was published at
Palmyra, New \ ork, by Egbert
Grandin, not Major John H. Gilbert.
Mr. Gilbert was the compositor who
set the type and assisted in reading
the proofs, and if he was not paid
,for his work it was no fault cf Joe
^mith. Martin Harris provided the
money tor getting out,the book, and
Giandin was paid according to at-
tract—$3&oo for 5000 copies. Neith-
er is the original manuscript in the
possession of Mr. Gilbert. The
copy was taken away by Smith as
fast as the proofs were read and cor-
rected, and he subsequently gave the
entire manuscript to David Whit-
mer. This manuscript was in his
possession at the time of his death, in
iSSS, and is now probably in the
custody of his son. The church at
Utah offered Whitmer a large sum
of money for the manuscript, but
nothing could ever induce him to
part with it. _
The editor of the Hesperian is
disposed to laud Brigham Youngj as
a great leader at the expense of Joe
Smith, but this is not just. They
were both remarkable men, but
Smith was not interior to Young as
an organizer, nor 111 personal mag-
netism. Whatever may be thought
of him as a prophet, or ot the origin
ot the Book of Mormon, there is no
denying the tact that he was one ot
the most remarkab|e religious char-
acters that the world has ever pro-
duced. Hi? career lasted only about
fifteen years, for he was murdered
in 1S44, yet in that short time the
Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-
Day Saints, which he had organized
with halt a dozen members in April,
1S30, had increased to a membership
of over, 100,000, and the church had
missionaries in Great Britain and
every civilized country in Europe,
in China, Japan, the Sandwich Is-
lands and other islands of the Paci-
fic. There was never another reli-
gion in the world that made such
rapid progress in so short a time,
even with the power of arms to en-
force its acceptance. To say that
under the leadership of a young man
who could accomplish all this, the
people who went to Salt Lake to
escape persecution "would in all
probability have starved to death,"
as the Hesperian suggests, shows
that the writer has not studied the
character'of the man nor the history
of his career as the head of one of
the most perfectly organized reli-
gious communities ot, modem times.
The Oolombni (Wnaolidated Mining and
Tunnel Oompsnf of Colorado
In a recent itntt of the Gazkt-
thek we called attention to the big
mining intereata of some of our
leading citizens, in the Burrows
Park mining district in Colorado.
This company baa secured one <>f
the most liberal charters ever grant-
ed under the laws of Colorado, and
own five ot the most promisine
claims in Hinsdale countv, as the
following report from Dr. Loui
Weiss will show. The doctor is an
acknowledged mineral assayer of
accepted authority, • and notwith^
standing this property had been ex-
amined personally by Tudge D. O.
Ha use, who spent three weeks in
the park last August, also by Dr. D.
H. Bailey, yet, before these gentle-
men felt like aoliciting other busi-
ness men of Denison to go in with
them in organizing a company and
buying this property, they called
upon Dr. Weiss to go and examine
and report upon it. Here is his re-
port :
Del Nortk, Colo., Nov. 18, 1893.
Judge D. O. Hause, Denison, Tex.:
Dear Sir—I submit for your con
sideration the following concerning
the group of raining lode claims
which you had me examine in Bur-
rows Park mining district in Hins-
dale county, Colorado. I find the
group to consist of five separate and
well defined veins, and bearing
names, as shown by location certifi-
cates^ as follows:
1, Good Prospect; 2, Little An-
nie; 2, J. C. Lindsey; 4, Galena,
and 5, Copper Rock. The plat
made from the survey will show
t bat the claims can be developed by
one tunnel run in at the foot of the
mountain, as the one already started
and rftn in 235 feet. While it can
not be positively stated how much
tarther tbis tunnel would have to be
run, as the dip of the vein is not
demonstrated, before the Good
Prospect vein or lode is reached, I
think 100 feet more will cut the ore
body. Considering the character of
the ore, as shown in the body of this
vein on the surface, and which this
tunnel will open at a depth of about
400 feet, I have every reason to be-
lieve it to be a big thing, it being a
lead ore rich in silver. Lead ores are
getting scarce and in a short time
will bring a premium, while now
the smelters are not charging one of
our Creede mines anything for
smelting because of the quality of
galena contained therein, while
other mines in this camp are paying
from $12 to $is smelter charges.
The one great advantage ot this
group of claims is their location, one
above another on the steep moun-
tain side, making it so easily devel*
oped by this one tunnel and at so
great a depth, as from appearance,
without actual measurement, I
should think this tunnel would cut
the Copper Rock at a depth of over
1000 feet. I regard this group ot
mines as very valuable property.
Burrows Park would have been a
big producing camp long ere this,
had it not been for poor dipping
facilities, but now that the D. & R.
G. railroad runs tfcear there things
will liven up and the camp will be
one of the big producers during the
coming season. The Black Won-
der, located at the mouth of Bur-
rows Park, on the right as on - goes
in th£ park, is one of the big mines
of tne San Juan, and I am told that
extensive preparations are being
made to ship from it this season
There is some likelihood of the rail-
road being built ud that tar in order
to facilitate the shipping ot ores
from ifcat and the mines in Burrows
Park. If you have not already closed
the deal for the group of five claims
above mentioned, I would advise
you not to delay it any longer, as
mines carrying silver^, gold and lead
are in demand, and you will see ere
the season of 1S93 is far advanced
lead will cut quite a figure.
You can stock this property and
easily sell the treasury stock, be-
cause the purchasers of this stock
will, in my judgment, begin to real-
ize handsomely on the investment
when the first vein is cut.
The following assays were made
hy me on my return home, from
the ore taken from three of those
claims, and very near the surface at
that. Vety truly^ours,
Loui Weiss.
Assay No. U7—Good Prospect;
gold, trace; silver, 117 ounces;
value, $99.45. Assay No. 116—
Little Annie; silver, S7 ounces;
value, $76.35; lead, 36 per cent.
Assay No. 115—J. C. Lindsey;
gold, .3 ounces; value, $6; silver.
7S 7 ounces; ualue, $59.56.
Upon the receipt ot this report the
company was formed as follows: D.
O. Hause, M. J. Fitzgerald, B. J.
Derby, F. R. Guiteau, Dr. Loui
Weiss, Dr. D. H. Bailey and C. W.
Brownlee. One hundred thousand
shares of the treasury stock has been
placed on the market for sale at the
price of five cents per share. This
stock is full paid up and non-assess-
able. It is of the par value ot one
dollar, and the company has every
reason to believe that when the first
vein is cut this stock will ^ay a hand-
some dividend. The first vein has
been opened up by the Napoleon
Mining company 150 feet west of
this company's line, and the vein
runs over 300 ounces per ton by the
carload. ;
The reason this stock is placed so
low is to get money to enable the
company to cut the first vein this
summer, so that the ore may be
shipped at once. As this is a Deni-
son enterprise we think the com-
pany will have no trouble in selling
first amount offered.
Over 60,000 shares have already
been sold, and F. R. Guiteau and
D. O. Hause will in a few days
solicit a few more Denison citizens
to subscribe for some of this treas-
ury stock.

Washington, D. C..
April 17, 1893.
Neither President Cleveland nor
Secretary Greshain have any apolo-
gies to make lor the action of Com-i
missioner Blount in carrying out his
instructions, declaring the piotec-
torate proclaimed by Minister
Stevens, without a shad <w ot legal-
ity or authority, at an end, and in
withdrawing the protection of the
U. «?>• flag and marines from the
provisional government of Hawaii.
And the attempt of a few republi*
cans to use the incident as a means
to create bad blood between mem-
bers ot the two parties has fallen
vieiy flat, as far as Washington is
concerned. There is no politics in
the matter. It was simply a ques-
tion of righting a wrong which was
officially acknowledged to be a
wrong by the Harrison administra-
tion but was not righted then, as it
should have been. It the provision-
al government of Hawaii is not
strong enough to maintain itself
without the United States it is not
strong enough to be recognized in
any negotiation looking to annexa-
tion or any other settlement of the
present problem. What has been
done is neither for nor against an-
nexation, in fact, has no bearing
whatever upon.it. It is simply a
step towards doing the right thing,
as soon as the right thing shall be-
come apparent. Meanwhile the ad-
ministration is fully determined that,
no other nation shall interfere with
Hawaiian affairs.
Senator Butler, , of South Caro-
lina, scored a point, ias he usually
does whenever an opportunity is
given him, when Senator Lodge, of
Massachusetts, offered an entirely
needless resolution, directing the
secretary oi state to inform the sen-
ate by whose authority the American
•flag was hauled down at Honolulu,
by offering an amendment adding
the words "and also by whose
authority the same was hoisted."
Mr. Lodge knew that the president
was responsible for lowering the
flig, and the resolution was only
offered for bucombe.
Secretary Hoke Smith is in
Georgia attending to some pressing
private business. He will return to
his desk this week.
Extraordinary efforts are being
made by republicans to put the
democratic senators in a false posi-
tion before tne country in regard to
the proposal to investigate Senator
Roach's connection with an alleged
bank embezzlement fourteen years
ago. The republicans wish it to
appear that the democrats refused to
allow the investigation because of
their wish to protect Mr. Roach.
No such conclusion can be reached,
except by a willfyl distortion of the
tacts. Senator Roach has from the
first personally desired that the in-
vestigation be made, as he manfully
told the senate last week; he h^s
asked tor no protection, and what is
more to the point, he wants no pro-
tection. The opposition of the dem-
ocratic senators to this or any other
investigation ot events in a senator's
lite before he became a senator is
based upon the highest authority in
the land—the constitution of the U.
S., and it is mighty small business
for anybody to try to. make it ap-
pear otherwise, but then, you know,
small business is second nature with
some people.
The first instalment of the investi-
gation of the weather bureau has
been completed, and the immediate
results ^rill be the dismissal of sev-
eral minor officials for their inability
to distinguish the difference be-
tween their own property and that
of Uncle Sam, and the final result
may be striped suits for them. The
second instalment, which deals with
bigger fish, will be started this
week, and it is expected that it will
result in showing that the big offi-
cials regarded the positions under
the bureau in about the same light
that the minor officials regarded the
property of the bureau.
President Cleveland told a senator
Saturday, just before the extra ses-
sion of the senate adjourned, that he
had not taken up the question of the
appointment ot a public printer yet,
but expected to do so very shortly.
There is no lack ot candidates and
the most of them are men whose
reputations are such that it will be
extremely difficult to choose be-
tween them. 3
Secretary Carlisle isn't borrowing
any trouble about the prospects of
another run on the gold in the treas-
ury for shipment abroad. He has,
as rthe law directs, suspended the
issue of gold certificates for the
present, and is thoroughly confident
ot his ability to meet all demands
that are Likely to be made, but, al-
though he will not say so, it will
probably be necessary to issue a few
bonds in order to do it.
The Kentucky colony, temporari-
ly in Washington, was reinforced
■ by Hon. Henrv Watterson, on Sat-
urday. Mr. Watterson called at
the state department but said he
merely called to pay his respects to
his old friend. Secretary Gresham.
He also paid his respects to Presi-
dent Cleveland, and it is not im-
probable that he put in a word or
two tor some of his numerous
friends who are anxious to have a
"go" at official Jife. No office in
the president's gift is big enough to
tempt Watterson away from his
paper.
Th« Gutttw1! Special World's
pt«poodeoce.
Chicago, III., April 20, '93
Two weeks from to-day Presi-
dent Cleveland, of the United
States, and the duke of Veragua, of
Spain, a lineal descendant o! Chris-
topher Columbus, will set in motion
the wheels ot the biggest show the
world has ever seen. Three ques-
tions answered or ignored are these:
Will the World's Fair be opened
on May 1 ?
Will the World's Fair be finished
by May 1 ?
Will the World's Fair, if opened
on May 1, be in a presentable con-
dition to visitors ?
The answers to these interroga-
tories, based on painstaking obser
vations and the statements made by
the chiefs of the many departments,
are these;
The Fair will be opened on
May 1.
. It will not be finished in the sense
that all the buildings will be com-
plete and all the exhibits installed.
The FAIR will be presentable
the instant President Cleveland rides
into the park.
There can be little doubt that the
Fair is a marvel as it stands to-day.
For three months or more it has
been preaching sermons and teach-
ing lessons, not only to the profes-
sional man with a critical eye but to
the layman who stands in the white
roadways and lifts his eyes to the
gilded domes and wonderful facades.
Everything that human endeavor
can do has been done.
There has been no lagging, no
halting in the building ot this ghost-
ly capital of the world. The Fair
was worth seeing six months ago.
It represents a wonderful spectacle
as it stands to-djy.
The park, with its acres of build-
ings and miles of placid lagoons,
will be all that the enchanted brain
of man has pictured. The Phila-
delphia exposition was unfinished
when President Grant and Dom
Pedro set the enchanted wheels, ot
the big Corliss engine in motion.
Even President Carnot's eye found
things incomplete when he set things
to buzzing in the hails of the Paris
show. What, then, is to be expect-
ed ot a Fair which is so much great-
er than these two Expositions that it
could swallow them in three ot its
largest buildings and still give a-
show ot more merit than the world
has ever seen?
Uncle John Thorpe promised sev-
eral new things in his greenhouses
to-day and he kept his word. Away
in the south greenhouse was the
most interesting part of the show.
Japanese ferns were displayed with
all the inventive ingenuity and deli-
cate taste of the almond-eyed ori-
ental. The Japs had arranged the
ferns to represent boats, fishes of"
weird and monstrous shapes, tea-
houses ot the most approved fashion,
and animals whose shapes have
never been seen in the most com-
plete zoological dictionary. One
wild looking octopus in green
sprawled over the fern stand, quiver-
ing a little in the gentle breeze that
meandered through the building.
In the horticultural building sev-
eral new ^exhibits were seen. To-
ronto sent a collection ot hothouse
palms which made as good a show-
ing as those from tropical climes.
Tropical trees from Trinidad,
among which were some monster
bamboos, attracted great attention.
Germany had a display of azeleas
and rhododendrons, and Australia
exhibited some new tree ferns.

It,was tor a long time the custom
of the weather prophets to attribute
most meteorological phenomina,
wi^h attendant disaster, to Mars, but
according to the Rev. Dr. Hick< the
prevailing visitation of wind, hail
and snow storms is due to the "per-
turbations of Venus." Something
should be done at once to placate
the giddy and fickle goddess.

It never rises above sordid injustice
and greed.
