The Grange advance. [volume] (Red Wing, Minn.) 1873-1877, 1877-05-02

States court in Utah, has dismissed
the divorce suit brought by Ann
Eliza against Brigham Young on
the ground that there was no mar
riage. Inasmuch as Young was al
ready married eighteen times, and
this women knew that fact, the court
rightly declared that her union with
him was not marriage. It is about
time that the status of this woman
was established, and that she should
recognize the fact that she, too, was
guilty Of wrong in consummating
willfuly an illegal marriage. She
cannot claim to have been an ignor-
ant woman who was deceived into
doing wrong, for she was Of full age
and more than ordinarily intelligent
at the time the so-called marriage
was performed.
Secretary of State Evarts recent
ly went to Albany, N. Y, on busi-
ness, and was honored with an enter
tainment by Mr.. Cowdin, who also
invited all the State and Legislative
officers. The democrats, however,
refused to attend because, as is
stated, they did not want to recog-
nize Evarts as legal official, mas
much as he is the appointee of
President, whom they claim is fraud
ulently in possession of his office.

New York democrats have become

difficulty. They have even forgot

ed and three important victories are
scored far the Turks, while the Rus
slams are credited only with the cap
ture of small isolated company of
Turkish soldiers. England and
Italy have declared neutrality, but
all the western powers of Europe
are preparing for action in case of
necessity. They are putting their
full complement Of war vessels in
commission and furnishing them
with armor, and are quietly strength
ening their armies and coast de-
fences.
Washington dispatches init
mtate that prosecution will be
brought against all persons known
to have defrauded the government,
such as "crooked whiskey" opera
tors, fraudulent contractors, dishon-
est officials and employees, etc., un-
til, as far as is possible, justice is
meted out to these offenders. The
conciliatory policy Of President
Hayes will not be extended to such
as are guilty Of criminal conduct.
