speech or senator CuIIom on the
Mormon Question.
WAsHINoToS, Jan. ll.-In the debate
on his bill for the suppression of Polyg
amy, Senator Cullom said: Every phase
Of Mormon history is marred by some
foul deed. The system was founded on
frauds OF tho most notorious deception.
1t is at war with good government and
society and cannot be permitted to pro-
coed. as the last thirty yea shows that
1t is building up system hostile to tho
United States, md instead of having a
Republican government, either in form
or spirit, it is essentially opposed to
every principle of republicanism.
1t is government of arrogant
priests, who teach that gentlss
are the foe of the Mormon people and
consider it proper TO use every device for
their overthrow. They are bringing to
this country every year thousands of
paupers, whom they teach to hate the
United States Government. The Nor
mons have the balance Of political power
in Arizona and Idaho and perhaps in
Wyoming, in addition to their strength
in Utah. If not checked they will soon
control five or six States and territories
west of tho Mississippi. They trampled
under foot all laws Of the United States.
In the present condition of things the
United States Government has utterly
failed TO use its power to crush the
crime of polygamy. The action of Con
gress in creating a commission has done
some good, but it is not adequate. 1t
would be mercy for these misguided
people to adopt some measure TO release
them from tho domination of the priest.
hood We do not desire war, but If tue
Mormon question is not settled soon it
will end i war. His bill, he said, was
only temporary measure, as oil bills for
the remedy of such grievances neces-
sarily would be. The people of the
Territory, should, when the evil is eradi
Gated, control their own affairs. Mean
while let the United States government
take the management of Utah in its
own hands and discharge tho incom.
petent and REASONABLE Mormon agents,
who are officers in that Territory, aud
scourge ont of the Civil Code every yes
tige OF ecclesiastical policy. Cullom
maintained the perfect constitutional
right of Congress to do this under the
clause of the Constitution giving the
right to make rules and regulations for
the government of Territories. He cited
the fact that Congress, had revok ed the
right of suffrage in the District of Co
lumbia aud established government by
| Commission.
Brown opposed the bill. He declared
that all the recent Legislation of Con-
| gress in connection with Utah affairs
as unconstitutional ard Incompatible
with the Sth section.
Il lmunds said the Act was palpable
violation of the Constitution and there
fore null and void, and the Utah Com.
mission in acting under it and applying
a test oath to voters, was acting without
authority of law.
Leopold Loeb RecogniSed.

Agent OF France at Los Angeles, Cali

Speculation as TO Tariff Revision
PHILADELPHIA, Jan. ll.-Experts in
revenue matters have been at work in
the Custom House for several days pro-
curing raw material for Morrison to en-
able him to frame his new tariff bill.
Merchants and importers who are sup
posed to be well posted as to what is go
ing on in Washington, are confident that
the outcome of it all will be, not a new
tariff in detail, but simply proposed
horizontal reduction from fifty to twen-
| five per cent. all round, together with a
few additions to the free list and one or
two clauses designed to correct some OF
the perplexing provisions of the existing
law.
