BR1GHAII'S DIVORCE SUIT.

Tho papors Of the country hayo generally
treated tho odiyorce suit OF thesovonteenth vito Of
Brigham Young as notable joke. But there Is
another side to it, which should cause il to DO
troated with becoming gravity. BY tho ueages
of civilized society aud by the laws Of tho land,
thore is no ground for divorce suit at all.
Every marriage OF Brigham Young aud his fol-
lowors aftcr the first, is D legal aham, having
no biuding force whatever, nnd Ia void and
worthless. AL protondod wiyos after
the first aro simply concubincs. Noithor
thoy nor thor Children can, without will, loyal
ly share in tho property Of their nominal hua-
bands. Wo should not 10 surprised it 1t should
turn out That this suit waa instituted by tho pro-
curing or thotconnivanco Of Brigham himsolt, In
order to gothic Courts, by affirming tho rights
OF the woman to divorce as q 1egally-marred
wife, to virtually recognize tho whole Bystem
of polygamy. Tho Court should dis1nias
tho CAUSE forthwith for waut Of q just
!: basis for litigation, nud allow remedy to
tho woman in IN action for wagoa as house,
