POL gam TRIUMPHANT.

From the best authority we have il
that ~polygamous marriages are be.
ing performed day after day in Utah.
The Mormons seem to take a iendish
delight in celebrating their lecherous
marriage ceremoney as often as cou-
pies can be found to play the part of
principals. 1t is testimony to them
that the Mormon church is superior to
the laws Of the United States. In the
blind fanaticism Of the followers of
Mormonism THE leaders know better)
the successful continuation Of polyga-
nous marriages is evidence that their
homemade god is prospering them de-
spite the intidel laws -of this republic.
Their zeal seems to have quickened un.
der what they term persecution, and in
open defiance Of all laws OF the nation.
they are running the polygamous mill
at greater speed than ever. And what
will be done about it-nothlngp Must
virtue be Knocked and travestied under
the guise of religion? Must the sacred
rite Of marriage be prostituted to the
lechercus level of men and women
whose animal and base instincts N
troll their Hives? Must u laws be
trampled in the dust by a community

SENATOR Kellogg DOOMED.

The democratic senator's are either
dissatisfied with having no more than
a good working majority, or they are
bent on revenge, that makes them so
determined to unseat VIM. Pitt Kellogg
Of Louisiana. The first proceedings in
the matter are only a blind to the pub.
lie. Mr.. Kellogg Will be unseated no
matter what testimony is brought
before the committee. The senate ma
jority is determined to convict and ex-
pei. 1t may be clearly proved before
the comm ittee that Spofford.has not
the shadow of a title to the seat he
%covets; that he has bribed legislators to
advance his cause;.. and yet the COM
mittee will report In favor of him M
against Kellogg.
During the last congress, Mr.. Corbin
of South Carolina, attempted to have
his case against M. c. Butler opened,
but the republican senate refused to do
SO. Kellogg a admitted at the same
time as Butler, and had as good a title.
If, then, the democracy claim that KEEL.
logg should be unseated, they must adj
init that Butler has no rightful title to
his eat.
1t Is said there are several democrat
lie senators who see the question in this
light and they will oppose the revolu-
tionary scheme, provided the charges of
bribery and corruption against KEEL
logg are not sustained. In view of the
fact that the Nichols legislature failed
utterly to make out a $ against KEEL
logg it is hardly probable that the SEN
ate committee can. But even the few
quasi independent senators cannot stay
the hand cent on the destruction of
Kellogg. The party lash will be WELD
ed mercilessly, and all who fail to step
promptly into the traces will be severe
ly scored when occasion offers. KEEL
logg realizes that trial is a farce, and
that he will be unseated regardless of
truth and evidence. And his manly
defence which sounded in such strong
tones on Wednesday will gain him
many friends. +
There are two senators-democratic
senators, whose curse in this case we
shall wa tch with much interest: Sem
otors Davis and Butler. If Davis votes
right along with the democrats he will
prove himself a ave and demagogue,
and q presidential aspirant. If Butler
votes against Kellogg. he will show
that he has no regard for the equities
OF justice nor respect for the men who
stood by him in the last congress and
secured TO him his seat.
