War on Polygamists,
RESULTS OF TIE LABORS OF TIE
UTAH COMMISSION.

The Utah Commission, in their re-
port to the Secretary of the Interior,
detailing the results of their labors in
the territory, say "The anomalous
condition of. this country and its peo-
Pile, with the inherent difficulty of ad-
iusting local laws to an act of Con
gress, are such that they have imposed
on us great care and deliberation, lest
on the one hand we should ex-
ceed the limits of the law, or on the
other fall short of the vigorous and
effective discharge of our duties. We
are obliged to construe for ourselves.
The commission did not construe the
spirit of the act forbidding polygamists
and bigamsts from voting, only to
affect those actually living in polyga-
my at that time, for such a construc-
tion would render the section a perfect
nullity, and they added such regula
tions as seemed desirable to carry out
the objects of the act
The commission recommends that a
marriage law be enacted by Congress,
which would form an auxiliary in the
suppression of polygamy. This law
should declare all future marriage in
Utah null and void, unless contracted
and evidenced in the manner provided
by the act. Certain places should be
designated for marriages, which should
be witnessed by certain persons, and
registered in specific public offices, so
as to make the proof of marriage, NOR.
ally certain. The parties and witness
es should be required to make affidavits
against polygamy
Another suggestion Is that marriages
be solemnized in private, with like
guarantees of registration, aflidavits,
witnesses, etc. In either case, appro-
pirate penalties should be provided for
violation of the act. The commission
says that owing TO the peculiar state of
affairs in Utah, the Territorial law, al
lowing women the right of suffrage
is an obstruction to the speedy solution
of the vexed question, and should be
repealed or annulled by Congress To
o5viate the difficulty of proving first
legal marriage, the commission recon-
mends that Congress declare the first
or legal wife competent witness in
such cases. The commission had not
had time to fully test the operation of
the law but so far it has been a deci.
ded success in excluding the polyga-
mists from the exercise of suffrage, and
it is believed that the steady, contin.
ued enforcement of the law, will place
polygamy in a condition of gradual
extinction. The commission notices
that many of the "liberal" meetings
had been largely attended by Nor
mons, and that these meetings had been
characterized by exceptional good or
der. No inclination is shown in the
report to advise congressional legisla
tion of radical character, unless upon
further observation and experience Its
necessity is demonstrated. In conclu
sion the report says, after counseling
moderation: "If, however, the next
session of the Legislative Assembly
elected under the act of Congress shall
fail to respond to the will of the ma
ton, Congress should have no hesitation
in using extraordinary measures to
compel the people of this territory to
obey the laws of the land

The uncertainty as to what Congress
will do as regards the duty on cigars, is
affecting the manufacturers of New
York so seriously that many of them
are celebrating about shutting up their
establishments, except for the making of
what is required to meet the demands
from day to day. Five thousand persons
have already been thrown out of EN-
ployment in consequence of the urcer-
tainty and in some shops, like that of

removed fully $4,000 people will be

TIE SACRIFICIAL MURDER OF A CALIFOR-
MA BOY BY Ills FATHER.

From the Los Angeles Herald.
Mrs. John Smith, the wife of the in
human tiend who butchered his thir-
teen-year- son near Westminster on
the 4th of this month, was brought to
this city on Wednesday last and placed
in Jail to await her trial as an accom-
plice to the murder of her eldest child,
The woman in personal appearance is
not unprepossessing and there is moth
ing in her face to denote absence of the
motherly instincts of which she has
shown herself to be utterly devoid.
AS she entered the room, bearing in
her arms pale and sickly looking in
fant, the reporter saw before him a
woman small in stature, with q round
face. She was scantily clad in an old
dress, which seemed but the mockery
of an attempt to keep off the cold
gusts which now and then came sweep
ing through the jail-yard. A scrap of
a shawl, gathered closely around her
frail form and that of her crying babe,
added meagrely to her physical com
fort and formed but another line in a
picture which, had it not been for her
surroundings, would have been an i'm
pressyely sad one.
During the interview, which is in
substance produced below, she would,
from time to time, look up into the re
porters face with the fierce flash OF
desperation in her eyes, and at Other
times the tears would well-up from
long unused springs and flood the face
and choke the sound of her voice
Her whole story seemed to be sincere
there was no effort at dissimulation OF
assembling.
Mrs. Smith, you are here to answer
the charge of assisting in the murder
of your own son. Have you any OBJ
jeclions to stating to me what impelled
You to this act

| could have prevented it l would
