The Utah Troubles.
New YORK, October 29.-The Herald
to-day concludes long article on the
Utah troubles as follows: "Let Mormon
polygamy be abolished, but let Presl-
dent Grant while pursuing the ends Of
justice and morality prepare for such
recommendations to Congress at the
coming session as will meet the ends of
humanity in the needful provision for
those Mormon wives and children who,
in the simple enforcement Of the law

and orphans but penniless vagrants.

article is to call the attention of the
President to the question Of humanity
touching these Mormons, and to the
propriety and expediency OF recommend

General Grant is a humane man and
seeks in his administration OF justice to
spare the innocent while Furnishing the
guilty"
