is more than thirty years since polyga-
my was planted on the shores of the
Great Salt Lake. During these wears
Congress has utterly failed to enact ef.
licient or enforce existing laws for the
abolition OF this great crime, and We
believe more of these unlawful and un-
halowed alliances have been cousuln-
mated in the past year than ever before
IN the history Of the Mormon church.
Endowment houses, under the naiae OF
temples, are being erected in different
parts of the territory, costing millions.
1t IS impossible to ascertain the exact
number Of polygamous marriages, for
they are consummated in those endow-
ment houses-an institution no Gentle
IS permitted to enter; where brother
hood and sisterhood are sealed aad
bound by oaths SO strong that even
apostates will not reveal them, and to
maintain whichswitnesses on the witness

Here is tho lost article of which you
speak in a larc issue:

down as notorious fact that nine ont

bodies OF the territories-are more in

ton than III measures for the benefit of
the whole community. The conse-
quence is that We pay double the taxes
we ought TO, to run the machine called
Goyecauent. -a.4.
Notwithstanding Tie hard times and
the low prices of produce and labor
the salaries aud fees of officers are sep,
up. Gentlemen members say: "We
want no beggarly Offices" if the tenth
man gets up bill to bring things upon
an equality. While some Of our officers
get from ten to twenty dollars per day
the producer and laborer scarcely real,
lze one dollar per day,
Then we have Circumlocution and

the firmness to carry out these needed

Gen. sherman OH the transfer Of tn,
Indians 10 the war Department.

WAsuINGToN, Nov. 22.--Gen. Sher.
man said to-day, with regard to tho
transfer of the Indian bureau 10 the
war department, that such a transfer is
not desirable, in view Of the fact that it
would entail great deal Of extra re-
sponsibility and care ON the army. He
said, however, that the whole matter
rests on the proposition that either the
Indian bureau must come 10 the war
department or the army must be turned
over to ho interior department to pro.
tect The ludian bureau. The General
thinks the recent departure of the
Cheyenne Indians fron their reserva,
ton was because they were starving
aud he is of the opinion that the prob.
lem Of controlling The Indians rests in
the ability Of those who charge oI
them to keep tho supplies appropriated
for them on the ground near the reser
yation, and not hundreds Of miles away
