The semi-annual Conference of the
Church of Latter Day Saints, called by
ungodly Gentiles, "Mormons, is now
in session at Salt Lake City. The av-
erage daily attendance of Saints at the
Conference is about 5000. One of the
principal speakers and shining lights OF
the Conference is G. @. Cannon, who
represents Mormonism in Congress as
Delegate from Utah. Cannon upholds
polygamy, and advised the Saints to
marry and keep marrying till every
woman had husband, and claimed that
as father he had right to say that
his daughters should thus marry. 1t is
his religion, and he would make his
children swear to live by it. This is
strange talk for Delegate to Congress,
which has passed a law making polyg-
amy criminal offense. If that law,
which has been ON the statute books of
the United States for years, was en-
forced, Cannon and hosts of Others in
Utah would be grazing the inside of a
penitentiary, instead of meeting in
Conference and openly advocating the
violation of an Act of Congress which
the Supreme Court of the United States
has declared constitutional. 1t is sad
commentary on the manner in which
the laws of the United States are en-
forced, that men in Utah who style
themselves Saints, are permitted to
practice with impunity, acts for which
sinners in Nevada or California would
be consigned to the penitentiary. 1t
only remains for the Senate to confirm
the appointment of the tricky and un-
scrupulous Corbin to the Chief Justice
ship of Utah, to. insure the Mormons,
who can afford to pay for the luxury,
complete immunity from arrest and i'm
prisonment for practicing polygamy,
and, as directed by Delegate Cannon, to
keep marrying until every woman has a
part, say from. one-half to one-twentieth
OF less, of a husband.

SYMPTOMS OF UNEAslNEss.

A letter from Camp Bidwell printed
in another column indicates that the
Indians in that section are getting
FESTIVE as the warm weather approaches.
That fifteen Indians had to be arrested
for bad conduct and threats against the
whites, shows that there is proba-
bility OF another Indian outbreak this
Spring among the bands which range
from Modoc county, California, through
Northwestern Nevada and Southeast
ern Oregon, and that the greatest vigil
ance on the part of the military is
necessary to prevent the Indians from
committing depredations and murders.

FIRE PROOF VAULTS.

The Beard of Commissioners has con-
tracted with j. d. Bruner, of Wiltshire
& Raymond, San Francisco, for build
ing fire proof vaults in the Treasurer
Clerks and Recorders offices In the
Courthouse. The Treasurer's vault is
also to be furnished with Macneale &
Urban safe, for the safe keeping of the
county funds. 1t is wise precaution
to secure the county records from all
danger of being destroyed by fire, as
great inconvenience would result from
the destruction of the records, as the
original deeds to valuable property are
frequently left in the Recorders office.

the fraud issue of 1876 is but part and
parcel of the greater issue of local self
government against overbearing central
ization. While friends and foes alike
of the Eastern candidate who was de-
frauded of the Presidency in 1876 are
quarreling for control of the people
right and duty to avenge that wrong,
the Western candidate, who was de-
frauded of the Vice Presidency, rises
with the greaS masses of the American
Democracy to a higher and more COM
handing position, from which it is given
to see that the people had better be
trusted to take that right and that duty
into their own hands, and be called up
in. their own way, and through men and
methods of their own selection, to re-
establish reign OF liberty protected by
law throughout the land.

THE novel sight was presented in the
Texas Legislature week ago of mem
Der of that body speaking in Spanish in
advocacy of bill making the payment
of poll tax a prerequisite to voting.
His argument, which most of the body
understood although uttered in a
foreign tongue, was that at the last
election over one thousand Mexicans
had crossed over and voted in Texas.
The Spanish must have been persuas-
i've, as the bill passed the lower House.

1E- An indianapolis dispatch OF the
9th says; A number of Democratic
members of the Legislature hold con.
sultation to day, in which il WAS the pre-
vaiIing sentiment that the financial
question was permanently settled, and
would not again enter into State politics F,
further, that while Hendricks was the
f.yorite son of Indiana, carrying New
York in 1850 was essential to success,
and therefore Tllden should be re.nomi-
mated for the Presidency. lastly, that
Senator Voorhees,, ON the question of
his reelection to the Senate, should
make no pledges to the National party,
nor have further pronounced sympathy
with the Greenback movement. The
promulgation of this sentiment caused
considerable feeling among Mr.. Hen,
dricb's friends.
