WASHINGTON March 4-Joaquin Miller to-

Territories and gave the members his views on
the Mormon question. He characterized Nor
mons as ''cranks and Guiteaus," and opposed re-
pressive measures as only tending to incite them
to further lawless acts, instead of subduing
them. Polygamy, he thought was on the de
crease, and he prescribed education for all ills
from which the people of Utah suffered. The
Mormons as people, in his opinion were ex-
tremely ignorant persons, led by cranks and
those who had their own ends to serve and all
that was necessary to bring them back to the
paths of morality was to show them their true
condition.
