July 19, 1894 issue

add to cart   close window

This article presents information on political and social issues. The prompt indictment of U.S. politician Eugene Victor Debs by the federal grand jury, and his equally prompt arrest, lost something of their force through his securing bail and through his trial being put off till October. Utah is to be a State, both branches of Congress having agreed upon a bill which U.S. President Grover Cleveland has signed. So far as population goes, Utah was entitled to admission, for the inhabitants numbered 207,905 in 1890, and there is a steady growth from year to year, which will doubtless carry the number up to a quarter of a million by the time all formalities are completed in 1895.
