THEMORMON PROBL M.
aNev Me,hoa of IL. solution.

A special despatch from Washington
says: "DaLegaJe Maginnis, OF Montana,
proposes an excellent way t'put stop
40 the p lirical power OF Utah polygs.
my and TO place the power OF U'ah
polygsny and TO place the poiygamous
Mormens under proper control of law.
His proposition is to let Congress divide
the Territory of Utah, incorporating the
western part with the State OF NevadH,
the sruth eastern part with the State OF
Colorad, -, a, d the small northern part
with Idaho and Wyoming. Congress
has abundant power 10 do this, and it is
eyidert that when II is done the Nor.
mon power will be broken. A part OF
the Mormon POPULATION will be then
citizens of Nevada, and will be there
only a minority of the whole State and
part Will become citizens of Colorado,
in minority there. The small remand
OF will form part of Wyoming or Idaho.
The main portion of the Mormon pop
ulation would thus become citizens OF
States which have alread- established
constitutions and laws, to which the
Mormous would of course be amenable.
Mr.. Msginnis remarks that such a
division of Utah and distribution of
its parts would not only be perfectly
legal and proper, but would have the
advantage that the new boundaries
be natural instead of artificial. The
Watch Range, which now runs through
the centre of Utah would then form
the boundary line between the States o!
Colorado and Nevada. Is there any
reason why U tab should not thus be
blotted out of the map? And would not
this be better, because less violent
aud more natural way TO deal with the
Mormon prt blem than any other that
has been proposed.
