Throwing GRASS At UT1H.

The striking statement made by the Rev. d. j.
Mcmillan, superintendent of the Presbyterian
Missions in Utah, which was published i'll TIE
TRIBUNE on Monday, has set forth clearly some
of the difficulties to be met in dealing with the
Mormon question. Objections to the constitu
tionality of the pending bill may be set aside as
frivolous The measure was drawn by Senator
Edmunds, and it is not his failing to offer bills
which cannot be sustained in the courts. But
Mr.. Edmunds frankly admitted. while the bill
was III the Senate, that it would not accom-
plish all that he would like to sec accomplished,
and a comparison of the bill with the statement
of Mr.. Mcmillan shows that the root OF the evil
in Utah will probably not be touched, If the
measure becomes a law, and is enforced with
the utmost care. Indeed, Mormon journals
already boast that the measure can be evaded
with success.
The ninth section of the bill is the only one
under which it can be hoped to effect revolu-
ton in favor of law, loyalty and decency in
Utah. This provides that board of five per
sons shall be appointed by the President, not
more than three Of whom shall be members Of
one political party, and that this board shall
select anew all registration and election officers
and issue the certificates for members of the
Assembly. But it is provided that no person
shall be excluded from voting on account Of
any opinion he may entertain regarding bgamy
or polygamy. The previous section provides
that no person at the time living in poygamy
shall be entitled to vote or eligible to Office, but
there is nothing to prevent the exercise OF
suffrage by persons who may have been d.
vorccd from several wives on the very morn
ing of the election, and may be married to
them again before night according to the Nor
mon methods 1t is in the power of the officers
of the Mormon conspiracy, if they sec fit, to
qualify every one OF their followers fol- the
exercise of suffrage under this bill, and TO put
up for candidates persons who are completely
under their influence. though not at the time
living in polygamy.
If it seems improbable that such q course will
be adopted let it be remembered that dele
gate from Utah, whose seat was contested,
went to Washington not many years ago with
all tbe papers made out i'll due form divorcing
him from ali his plural WIVES" and would
have been able to state and to prove, had 1t
come to that, the complete separation from all
of his so-called wives except one. Yet the man
was never divorced, because the occasion for
perpetrating this particular fraud did not arise.
The mower of the Mormon leaders over
nearly all dwellers in the Territory is well ex-
planned by Mr. Mcmillan. II IA farmer refuses
to obey orders of the so-called Church his sup
plies of water are stopped, and he is ruined
If man in any other branch of industry
arouses their hostility, lie is shut out from all
dealings; nobody will hire him or trade with
him. Men are entirely incapable of resisting
this tyranny. A different condition exists in

In the improbable event of the election oil a

to emancipate the people from most hideous
tyranny. The control of the s0-called Church
over all supplies of water and all good lands
over trade of every kind, and the treatment OF
those who resist it's will, would still be as com
plete as ever Territorial Legislature OF to-
day cannot repeal grants OF franchises or OF
lands made by previous Legislatures OF the
same Territory. The root of the whole bust
ness is that the Mormon conspiracy, during
many years of unchecked control in the Legls-
lature, has voted to itself everything necessary
to perpetuute its own power. The legal rights
thus acquired can be torn up by the roots, IL the
act organizing Territory is repealed ana all
legal action taken under it made void. But IL
nav be doubted whether even the nor Nor

At all events, they favor throwing grass first,
and want to defer throwing stones yet little
longer. 1t will probably be found that the new
measure is merely throwing grass. After
little the Utah question will come back to Con-
greSs for further action.
