tally:
In the matter of Burlington District, Troy
Conference, The Methodist has held and holds
that this territory was not properly trans
terred by the last General Conference to the
Vermont Conference. The Committee on
Boundaries consisted of some go members ;
the action of transfer was taken by 80 men,
bers, 20 CT whom voted TO transfer, and 10
voted against it. We believe that no such
action as tEis-having this minority charac-
ter-can morally bind any one. The plain
duty is to leave matters as they are until an
other General Conference can act upon the
case. Aud then, We do not expect that a
General Conference will deliberately transfer
a district from one annual conference 10 an
other, against the -but-unanimous protest
of the laity of such district

An examination of the vote in detail goes

Hon. Philip T. Van Zile, United States
District Attorney for Utah, gives al interest
ing statement of facts in reply to letter
from the editor of the Chicago Inter Ocean,
asking him why the law Of Congress forbid
ding polygamy in the Territories is not en-
forced in Utah. He says that while every
effort is made by the proper officers 10 en-
force the law and convictions have been oh.
tanned. the vast majority of oife nders go un-
punished, and the law commands little or
no respect. This. latter fact is, of course,
patent. The responsibility Mr.. Van Zile
charges upon Congress itself because, while
it has enacted the law forbidding polygamy.
and declaring il II crime, il has failed u
enact the measures that are necessary To
practically carry it into effect To illustrate
this Mr. Van Zile says
The law we are called upon 10 enforce
reads as follows:
SEC. 1852. Every person having hus-
band or wife living who marries another,
whether married or single, is
guilty of bigamy and shall be punished .
1t will be observed that the offense con
sists in marrying another" In other words
il is the marriage that constitutes the oirensc,
and, therefore, it is the marriage that must
be proven. In order to convict man of
bigamy, it is incumbent upon the prosecu-
ton to prove beyond a reasonable doubt
|. That the defendant at the time il is al
legged he committed the offense had lawful
wife living.
2. That having lawful wife living he
married another-not that he lives and Co
habits with another, but that he married an
other.
8, That this bigamous marriage was solem-
nized within the three years last past. For
as strong as il may seem Congress has Ill
lowed this crime of bigamy TO be subject to
the general limitation law
OF the 100, 900 inhabitants of Utah 100, 900
are believers in the system Of polygamy
They preach it and hear it preached in their
church from week TO week. Their fathers
and mothers, sisters and brothers, perhaps,
practice it. Many Of them are the children
OF polygamous marriages. Here, then, is, Of
course, public sentiment which las pos
session Of the whole territory, and naturally
the enforcement Of this law of Congress is
INSTRUCTED in every possible way.
Every Mormon marriage is solemniked in
the Endowment House." which no person
Is permitted to enter unless he is u tried and
faithful Mormon, and all who do enter are
sworn never to reveal anything that tran
spires Because of this secret marriage cere-
mony, the greatest difficulty Is experienced
in executing the law. The sentiment of the

A TOWN IN QUARANTINE,

Sioux CIrY, Iowa, Feb. 2.-For several
weeks smallpox has been raging with grea;
fatality in Jefferson, Union county, Dakota
The settlement consists mostly of French
Canadians. When the disease broke out
they were unmindful of its contagious char
acter, and all burials were public and well
attended. The disease spread rapidly /;
neighbOring towns were qusrantined against
Jefferson and the people there have been iso-
lated nearly month. No mails have arrived
from jefferson and none have been sent there
Railroad authorities forbid trains to stop there
Elk Point, the county seat of Union coun-
ty and this city have largely contributed TO
the relief of the suffering people, but under
the restraint to which they were subjected
the settlers became FESTIVE and threatened to
break quarantine and visit this city. This
catastrophe was prevented by sending man
to Jefferson who has many relatives there.
He states thirty-two persons have died, and
only six recovered. There are sixty cases I'M
der treatment. 1t is believed many will recov-
or. Whole families have been carried away
In many instances the dead have been left
unburied for days, through fear and inability
to obtain help to inter them. There are two
physicians in charge of the district. 1t is
believed the disease is abating and will be
confined within its present bounds. Nocases
have developed here. Isolated cases are re-
ported in several towns of southern Dakota.
The disease is said to be black smallpox.
and it is thought it was communicatedby the
Russian Mennonites, who recently passed
through to Yankton.
