Washington, March 4.-Joaquin
Miller to-day appeared before the house
committee on territories and gave his
views on the mormon question. He
characterized mormons as ''cranks and
Guiteaus," and opposed repressive
measures as it only has a tendency to
further incite their lawless acts in
stead of subduing them. This, he
thought, was the history of all such
measures. Polygamy, he thought, was
ON a decrease, and he prescribed educa-
ton as a p~anacea for all the ills under
which Utah suffered. Mormons, as a
people, in his opinion, were extremely
ignorant and led by cranks and those
who had their WI ends to serve, and
all that was necessary in bringing them
back to the paths of morality was to
show them their true condition.
