were admitted that Mormon plural
marriage were irregular, it may be
doubted if the Mormon men are as
irregular and indiscriminate as an
equal number Of men taken from
any American community, the So
ciety at Washington not excepted.
Judge Edmunds himself would not
say that they were worse, except in
this, that the average man hides
his "indiscretions," while the Nor
mon claims virtue for his conduct.
Judge Edmunds' law would GER
tainly prove two-edged sword
were an effort made to en-
force it equally against all
classes. In Utah there have
been United States judges and other
high federal officials who would
have suffered the fine and imprison-
meRt had such law been right
eously enforced.
Judge EdmundS is statesm snlike
in this. that he would provide am
nesty as regards the past and pro-
lection to the children against the
cruel wrong of depriving them
of name and character The
acknowledgements which he pre-
poses, is neither generous nor just,
and is therefore unworthy man
like Judge Edmurds. 1t is "A punish
ment contemplated by no the DRY or
principle of law, and would be an
acknowledgement of weakness on
the part Of government that Con-
gress ought to be ashamed of. 1t
would be an exhibition of petty
spite, that thinking men of the
country would condemn as I'M
worthy the republic.
If Senator Edmunds will examine
his bill in the light of the facts as
they exist he must certainly con-
clude that it proposes slight pro-
gre3s in the direction of measures
for the suppression of polygamy

Schools and School Tax.
er WEST JoRDoE, Jan. IS, 1882.
Editors Herald:

Editors Herald:
The present school system does
not seem to meet with general ap-
proval. There is considerable
trouble in collecting the excess
charges, we mean above the amount
appropriated by the Territory.
Some have the idea that when
they pay their taxes their children
should be entitled to free schooling;
others are very reluctant in sending
their children. as the tuition seems
about as Iauch as when we had no
school fund. Such parties are, of
course, short-sighted. These causes
work detrimental to the support of
good schools. The few that take
advantage of the benefits find it up
hill work, while if more would at
tend the burden could be made
lighter and schooling cheaper in
Isparsely settled districts. Quite an
unsettled state of grievance exists.
In some localities schools have
been stopped on account of the diff
cultieS which seemed to present
themselves, and in others school is
kept three to six months in the
year 1t has been suggested
that we petition our lawmakers TO
put the taxes high enough to make
free school, and thus put an end to
all this grumbling. 1t has been
limited that our Legislators will not
consider the prayer, as they are all
rich men ana consequently averse
to taxes. We think they are more
philanthropic. Let's inaugurate the
plan that will result in the greatest
good to the whole We live in a pro-
gre:sive age, and the idea of making
1.-TWO bites at a cherry" needs to be-
come obsolete. We would like to
see the subject ventilated. We fear
that other districts are in about the
same fix as ourselves. Let's have
free schools established on a firm
basis. that both rich and poor alike |
may be started on the one even |
plane so far as education is con-
cerned, and future generations will |
rise up and call us blessed.

REPRESENTATIVE CONVERSE, of

lowing strain:

Law does not authorize it. That is one Of

petty Governor, away off in the Terri

seated here and who shall not, notWith-

EDMUHps' BILL.

Most of the text Of Judge Ed
munds' bill viii be found among the
HERALD's Washington kilograms
this morning. The bill is such an one
as might be expected from Edmunds,
the lawyer and broad-minded
man, but it clearly demonstrates
as did his recent article in one of
the magazines, that he is unfa-
miliar with the subject, at least so
far as what would be a remedy for
the alleged evil. All blame the
present laws as imperative and
worthless, yet the proposed changes
would hardly improve matters:
Wherein would Judge Edmunds
bill work more effectively than the
anti-polygamy statute of 1852 and
! the Poland law, the latter being as
sisted by the Utah act concerning
the manner of obtaining juries?
Edmunds' bill declares polygamy a
mIsdemeanor, and so does the pres
emit law, the same punishment being
provided in each. Edmunds would
make polygamists and those who
believe in the right to practice
polygamy ineligible to sit on juries
for the trial of one charged with
bigamy; the courts so interpret the
existing law, and invariably exclude
from the jury all those who would be
kept out Of the box by
Edmunds. Then the senator
has provided nothing new in
this respect; and as the other
provisions eff his bill do not refer or
apply toe the conviction of poly
gamists, wherein has he mended
matters from his standpoint? He
proposes one good thing, but as it
will apply to non-MOrmons as well
as Mormons, and must be enforced
in other territories than Utah, and
IN the District Of Columbia also,
the propriety Of its enactment will
be very seriously questioned, more
by Gentiles than Mormons. One
section Of Edmunds' bill makes it a
misdemeanOr for a man to cohabit
with more than one woman, the

months Imprisonment, or both
in the discretion Of the
court. The man who is aud

such law, but it Sc happens that
very considerable proportion of the
male population is less eircumspect
in this regard than the Christian
idea Of matrim02y demands. If it
