ations established by law. and refer to
the rules of the common law as it be-
foro existed, with the exception OF
fixing OF penalty aud the measure Of

From the Deseret News, Dec. ..
No other President has so persistent
ly called the attention OF Congress to
the Utah question. Viewed from the
standpoint, aud considering the pecul-
lar politico-religious influence around
him, perhaps he could hardly have
done otherwise. III President con-
siders polygamy such a dreadful thing
as President Grant appears to do, it Is
perfectly natural that he should call the
attention Of Congress to the subject, as
one of the particulars shaping the state
OF the Union.
From our standpoint, however, wo
see no necessity for the President to
concern himself about the topic men
tionnd AS will appear by the following:
1. Polygamy is not "crime against
decency and morality" =.
Q. Polygamy is not ''crime" at all
OF itself. >.
8. POlygamy is not an unnatural
vice."
A. Polygamy is not "vice" at all.
8. Therefore, IL is not Anomalous
il not "preposterous that .'polygamy
should exist in a free, enlightened and
CHRISTIAN country. ~ "ouiu Uo su-
omalous" aud ''preposterous' were II
otherwise.
6. Therefore polygamy should not be
punished as q "crime." IL sheuld no,
''be banished from the land, and there.
fore no law is needed for that pur-
pose.
7. Polygamy is one Of the most nat
ural things in the world.
g. Pologamy is virtue. :.
Q. Polygamy in Utah Is wholly re-
liqions institution, with which the civi
Law has ooustitatIOnally nothing To do

shadow of a rlght to interfere with po

But then felt when went In, IL wasn't bull /

He knew that was old and deaf. rs well as
old and poor;
He must have been Christian, because he

He hadn't time to read it for the lghtnIn of

The preacher made sin hideous In Gentiles
and In Jews;
He shot the golden sentences down In the nn-

falling tear
That told me hell was some ways of, and
heaven very near.
How swift the golden moments fed, within

How brightly beamed the light OF Heaven
