SHUT OUT FOR
MR. ROBERTS
IConcluded from Pace 1.
graph from Mc-Creury on cleotlons.con
talnlng a general caution against hasty
procedure In election contests, artd con
tinued: "Now, gentlemen, that is tho state
ment of one whose book has authority
In this country. And if It Is the lule
of the house of representatives in caseH
that arise to tho dignity of a contest,
how infinitely more should that rule be
observed when only a mere rotest Is
made against a member who presents
himself to take the oath of ofllee.
"I next proceed to the consideration
of the charges that are supposed to Jus
tify what tho gentleman from Ohio (Mr
Tavler) himself concedes to be an un
usual proceeding, and which my friend
on this side (Mr. Richardson) has dem
onstrated to be an unprecedented pro
ceeding. Tho gentleman from Ohio
bases Ills charge upon a court record;
that some twelve years ago, in the
midst of our conflict In the then terri
tory of Utah over the subject of polyg
amy, that I pleaded guilty to a charge
of a misdemeanor. The gentleman
ecnis to be oblivious to th fact that
since the date of his court record on
this subject we have had two presiden
tal amnesties proclaimed that have
been applied to men disqualified by the
Edmunds-Tucker act. I understand,
the gentlemen who were lawyers admit
this fact and they will certainly ap
preciate the cost of It.
"The gentleman fiom Ohio has no
court record to show that I was ever
arraigned or condemned of crime what
soever since the promulgation of nm
ne.sty proclamation of the president of
the United States. The gentleman
fceems also to forget the fact thut since
the confession of that misdemeanor to
Which he lins reference there was
passed by congiess an enabling act
authorizing the people of the state of
Utah to form a state government. That
act also had a provision embodied In It
that qualified all citizens within the
limits of the territory to become citi
zens of the United States and was par
ticularly framed to remove the dis
qualifications and disabilities which
have been created bv the Edmunds
Tucker law. The gentleman seems to
force t also that the state constitution
of Utah was satisfactory to the presi
dent nnd his advlseis. and Utah hat
been admitted as a state into the union
nnd has taken upon itself the lesnon
slbllltles of a sovereign state, declar
ing under its constitution people resid
ing In Its borders shall exercise the
elective franchise and bf qualified for
ofllee as citizens of the great common
wealth. Not a Lawbreaker.
"The second charge, which Is sup
posed to go to the question nt eligibil
ity of the member from Utah, Is. that
upon nflldavit and other panels in his
possession the gentleman from Ohio
says that ever since 1SS9 I have been
a persistent lawbreaker in the state of
Utah. If that be tiue. let me ask why
It Is that I was not punished for Iaw
breaklng. Certainly there was no dis
position to execute the law on the part
of the people of Utah. Its administra
tion was in the hands of non-Mormons,
of those who hnd no sympathy with
any of my religious faith. All the ma
chinery of the law was In the hands of
appointees. How Is It then that I could
be an open and defiant lawbreaker nnd
yet escape the penalty of law?
"Tho gentleman's objection then Is
based not upon court record but upon
aflldavlts and papers that hnve been
supplied him by the people And now
ns to the manner In which those
charges are made. It has been about
fifteen months since thev leriin. since
the representative from Utah uas her
alded throughout this land us n defiant
lawbreaker And yet I walked the
streets of Salt Lake City in open day.
within ensv reach o' the law, and my
faults lav open to the law If I were
guilty of transgressing. Other men
wero nrrested before the courts of XTtah
and were fined for the very offense al
leged against me, nnd yet no complaint
was made against me. No, It did not
suit the purpose of those who had this
present agitation In hand to vindicate
the law quietly and by the usual meth
ods. They desired particularly to have
this case apparently to arouse the sen
timent of the counti'y. Not until my
business called mo east did they under
take to make any charges against me.

WHEN a woman first feels backache, nervousness, weariness, bearing-down pains, or other symptoms
of derangement, displacement, or female trouble, she naturally turns to seek medical help.
But as she takes tho first step she shudders and shrinks back.
"THERE'S A USSN BM THE WAY " I and that lion in tho way is the dreaded familiarity
of the questions, the indelicate examinations, the offensive local treatments generally inseparable from

"It is with pleasure that I write to you to let you know the great benefit I have
received from your medicines, and by following your advice regarding self-treatment
at home," writes Mrs. Selma fcdekson, of 496 Rice Street, St. Paul, Minn.
"You kindly advised me to take Dr. Pierce's I-i-vorite Prescription and ' Golden
Medical Discovery,' and ' Pleasint Pellets.' When I first wrote you I had been
to three different doctors, and two of them said I would never get better without
going to the hospital for an operation. 1 just sat down and cried, and said, ' If I
have to die, 1 will die at home with my two clear little ones.' I had a miscarriage,
in May last and was weak all summer. Was not able to do anything. If d would
get up and walk to the kitchen and back I would have to lie in bid for a day, or
sometimes two clays. Last August I picked up oue of Dr. Pierce's pamphlets' and
read of his wonderful work. I wrote to him for information and rece-ved .111
answer within five clays from the day I wrote, advising me to try his medicines.
Now I have used sir bottles of his ' Favorite Prescription ' and six - f the ' Golden

The Only Charge.
"I calt your attention next to the fat t
that the only charge against me even
bv the opponents of tills resolution is
that of a misdemeanor. They do not
charge a felony. I understand that tho
members of congress aie granted cer
tain privileges w hllo in attendunre up
on this house. It would be Impossible!
to arrest anyone of the members upon
tho chargo of a misdemeanor. And yet
you would deny me the privilege of be
ing sworn as a member of this house
upon the allegation of the existence of
some charge or other that I was guilty
of a misdemeanor. For tho thing for
which the law Itself could not lay a
hand on me while in attendance upon
this house, you propose I speak of the
little coterie of men who have entered
Into this conspiracy to crowd this ernes
tlon to the front at this particular time
and for the reason that they ure fear
ful that If the matter should go to a
consideration under a resolution to ex
pel the member from Utah they could
not marshal tho necessary tw'o. thirds
vote to accomplish their purpose to
pass the present resolution.
"I understand, sir, that these Immun
ities nra not given for the .enel)t of
the Individual members. They are given
rather as a protection to his constitu
ency who nre entitled to his (services
ns their representative. And therefore
I invoku the protection that Is given
to the constituency of a sovereign state
against the proceedings that are Insti
tuted here to deprive mo of tho privi
lege of being sworn In as a member of
this house. Privilege did I say, sir? I
am not ashing nny privilege) In this

shadow of the constitution of iho
United States I merely demnnd both
for mvself and for tho peoplo of my
stato the protection that Is duo to us,
and it Is a demand nnd It Is nsklng no
favor." (Applause on tho Democratic
side and from the galleries.)

that gentleman's lemaiks except this,
that in the case of Mr. Cu-inon the
house was dealing with u delegate from
a territoiv, not the representative of
the people of a sovereign state. They
were dealing with a delegate who was
ciuated by n statute pas.-id by the con
giess of the Unhid States. And
throughout the discussion it was al
leged as a reason for taking exceptions
to him that they could do so because
he was unprotected by the provisions
of the constitution. And yet, sir, not
withstanding he was but a creation of
law, still they adrrilttcd him as a mem
ber upon the floor of this house.
"It Is to be remarked In this connec
tion that, strange to sny, the course of
nature was not disturbed. Xotwlth
etandlng an alleged PolygamJst was
permitted by the voto of a Republican
congress to remain on the floor of this
house. It did not trnnsplre, as It Is said
It did transpire In ancient Rome, a
little ere the mighty Julius fell. The
grnves stood not tennntless. The sheet
ed dend did not stand and gibber In
tho streets of Rome. Why, sir, the sun
was not darkened, nor was the moon
turned to blood. Actually, sir, the rain
continued to full upon the Just nnd the
unjust alike. (Daughter nnd applause.)
"Gentlemen of the Democratic patty,
some few of hoin may perhans
tremble a little at the thunder of ob

pretending to voire the sentiment of
tho country upon this subject. I want
to call your attention to one tihlntr nnd
that Is, notwithstanding a Republican
congress seated this man, yet tho Re
publican party really suivlved Its ac
tion. (Laughter.)
"Why It Is here today that 1 believe,
gentlemen of tho majority, that It could
survive even If It should seat tho pres
ent representative from the stato of
Utah."
Proceeding, he took up tho charge
that Utah had broken her compact
with tho United States by tho election
of nn alleged polygamous representa
tive. It that was true then Utah i-.lm-ply
followed tho Illustrious example of
tho present national administration.

offered by those who are not qualified physicians, and cannot
give the advice of a physician, although they seek, by cunning
advertising to convey the idea that they can. Bear in mind,
that the advice of the unqualified woman is just as useless and
just as dangerous as that of the unqualified man.

miscarriage, I was so nervous I had to have some one by my side all the time,

doctor twice a week, aud cverytime I would go there I felt so sick, but since
I quit all the doctors, aud began taking your medicines, I gained right along.
I gained fo-iy pounds within the last four months. I weighed 135 when I

were waived aside."
"Do you mean to say that poljvain
Ists were appointed to federal ofllceH in
Utah by the present executive?" quer
ied Mr. Hopkins (Rep., 111.)
"With the knowledge ui the presi

quickly, amid some laughter on the
Democratic- side. "When men were ap

reiterated Mr. Roberts, "objections
weie made and affidavits filed both
with the president and the senate, but
nevertheless the appointments were
made."
"That does not nuswer my question,"
observed Mr. Hopkins.
Mr. Robeits urged that the caso
ought to go to the judiciary commit
tee where It could be investigated. lie
warned the Republican side that this
Is a serious question. If the people of
Utnh wero guilty of vlolutlng the com
pact with the Union, what of the
president v. ho had appointed to life
positions In Utah men chargeable with
tho same offense9"
Mr. Roberts ridiculed the manner in
which tho petition favoring his expul
sion had been procured. In concluding
he denied that the members who vot
ed to seat him would bo voting for
polygamy. The question of polygamy
was settled.
Polygamy Is Dead.
"I hold It ns an honor," said lie,
"that I will bo quoted long In Utah
as one who helped to settle that
question. I am not chifendlns polyg
amy. It Is dead."
Mr. Roberts concluded by thanking
Mr. Tayler and tho house for their
Indulgence. Ho was given a round of
applause as ho took his heat.
Mr. Grosvonor (Rep., Ohio) denounc
ed Mr. Robot ts' statement concerning
tho appointment by the president of
polygamlsts in Utnh as a misorahlo
subterfuge. "I maka the statement,"
said he, "nnd I defy contradiction that

that tho piesident had plunged his

(Oreat applause on the Republican
side).
I charged at d I reiterate It," said
Mr. Roberts, "that men appointed to
oflice In Utah wore charged before thi
president and the senate with Ilia
same misdemeanor of which It It
charged I tin guilty. '
"Were they guilty?" inquired Mr,
Dalzell.
"It does not appear whether they
weie guilty," answered Mr. Roberts,
raising his voice and looking around
the hall. "They were only charged as
I am charged." (Applause on the
Democratic side, In which many peo

The vote was then taken, with the
result as above stated.
