LIARS AND EDWARDS.

It is conceded by all that somebody
sent to Washington reports concerning
the condition of things in Utah. /
was upon these reports that the Presi
dent and military authorities acted ir
sending troops and artillery into the
Territory. The President does not take
newspaper stories as authority for do
ing these things. The newspaper tales
may be corroborative, but officials are
not in the habit of ordering out troops
upon the assertion of some penny-a-
liner, or wo-dollars-a-column CORE
spondent. No one VIII say that Presi-
dent Cleveland is so supplemented and
Understands SO little the nature of his
position, that he would be governed in
a course like that which he pursued
last week by what he saw in a sensa-
tional journal. It may be set down as
q fact that he was led to do what
he did by something that reached
him from Utah in more
authoritative way than through the
columns of the press. Representations
have been made to him by somebody in
whom he thought he could place reli-
ance. Ninety nine out Of every hun
bred persons Of intelligence in Utah, no
matter what their politics or religious
belief, are willing to assert that what
ever the story that reached Mr.. CleYe-
land, and upon which he ordered troops
TO this point, it is false in sentiment
and expression; that it is a SANDER, and
was sent to the President through NAL
ice and with wicked object in view
Now, it is just possible that all are mis-
taken in regard to this matter; that the
report is really truthful and fair, merely /
giving an account Of the situation as it
really was the time. The suggestion
Is not probable, because il is not likely
hat the President would have done
If he had been advised OF the
facts. There is just one way to settle
the matter as to the report,
and that IS for the person or
persons who sent it to come out and let
the people know what was told to the
President that excites him and the
country so visibly. No man need be
OF the truth. It is only the
coward and liar who seeks to hide his
identity, in a matter of this kind, and
thereby avoid the responsibility for his
acts. If that report is fair and truthful,
It's author viii neither be ashamed nor
afraid OF it; on the contrary he Will be
glad to let the public know that be has
not been guilty OF incorporating the
facts in order 10 create a sensation. The
TACT that there is stubborn silence as to
the authorship of the report tells against
The party or parties who made it. They
show guilt by holding their tongues, and
display the coward by refusing TO
their work.

AGAINST THE MoRMONs.
The Philadelphia american says:

The Philadelphia american says:
The duty and right of the govern
ment OF the United States to put down
the practice Of plu .al marriage seems
TO US beyond all question. But with
the mere opinion that plural marriage
is right 1t has no more to do than with
the opinion that the earth is fat; and it
would be a piece, of persecution to
NEEDLE with either. To punish a man
for thinking 1t right to have more wives
than one. when he has but one or none
at all, as IS the case with all but few
of the Mormons, is persecution in its
simplest form. And to lay him under
any disadvantages in the matter of
taking up a homestead, which We do
not impose upon any other person
OF the same class in other re-
spects, is punishment and there
fore is persecution. We cannot
afford TO set a precedent of that kind.
for as certainly as we do il will be ap-
pealed to against the members of other
unpopular sects, and We will find our
selves on the grade of intolerance
which has the InquIsition at the bottom
OF the hill. We therefore protest against
any legislation against the Mormons as
distinguished from polygamists.
IL Is evident that the editor OF the
American does not understand the true
mwardness of the ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS the
Mormons by the Federal government
and its representatives in Utah. The
Is against the Mormons not
because they are polygamists, but be-
cause they are Mormons. Many OF the
men who are waging the ti-Mormon
war, frankly confess that they care
about polygamy, but are bent
on destroying Mormonism as living
faith. They are free to say thatif poly |
gamy were abolished they would con
Linue the fight.

EDMUNDs' NEW BILL.

The San Francisco Chronicle OF the
10th, has the following Washington dis
patch giving the points of Senator
Bdmunds' anti Mormon bill which was
introduced on the first day of the
session;
Edmunds has a bill to put the Nor
mons ID chancery. It proposes that
the act Of the Legislature of the State
Of Deseret. under which the Church of
Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints was
incorporated, shall be repealed and
-annulleG, and that the temporal affairs
OF the church shall be managed bv
board OF trustees to be appointed bv
the PRESIDENT OF the United States bv
ana with the consent Of the Senate, and
shall close up the institution as rsDidIv
as possible. Under direction of the
Secretary Of the Interior, the ATTORNEY.
General Is directed to institute and
prosecute proceedings to forfeit and
eseheat to the United States all pro-
perry owned by the Mormon Church.
except the buildings used for
public worship, and the Secretary
OF the Interior IS directed TO sell and
invest the proceeds fer the benefit of
the public schools. The laws organic
ing and creating The Perpetual Emil
grant Fund Company" are also an
nulled, and the AttOrley-G General is
directed to dissolve the corporation. to
pay its debts, &c dispose of its property
and devote the proceeds to the benefit
Of the schools. The Legislature is for
hidden to create any company or asso-
citation for the purpose of bringing
emigrants into the territory.
1t VIII be seen that the bill is the one
INTRODUCED by the Senator in the last
Congress; that is to say, the teIe-
graphic report tells of no features not
contained in the old bill, while the lasA
mentioned had several provisions not
mentioned in the new. Determined as

DISTRICT ATTORNEYS
CHANCE.


The men eeR4;cted in the Justice
court of lewd and lascivious conduct,
Immediately appeal their ca es to the
District Court. They listen almost DIS
interestedly to the disgusting details OF
their depraYity as portrayed by the
witnesses, and without offering a word
in contradiction they seem anxious
only to have the judgment OF guilt
declared and the sentence pronounced,
that they may get into the higher court.
1t is apparent to everybody that the ac-
cused do not expect to prove IN Il e
District Court they are innocent OF IL 9
offenses charged against them; they so
into the upper tribunal with anentirtly
different object in view, their purpose
being to escape punishment through
technicalities. 1t is their right to
appeal and we hope no obstacles Will be
thrown in the way of their taking ad-
vantage OF everything in their favor
that the law allows them. There has
been too much denying of legal rights
to accused persons, giving defendants
an opportunity to cry persecution
against courts and prosecutors. We
sincerely hope that this cry cannot be
raised in the cases that are just now
the sensation of the town. Let them
all go into the higher court, and be
given all the privileges that the statutes
and legal practice guarantees to them.
Justice and the enforcement of the
laws are all that fair-minded people
should or will ask.
In the District Court these cases viii
have to be prosecuted by the United
States District Attorney. He is charged
with the duty of conducting these cases
Tor the public, as much as he is charged
with prosecuting persons for unlawful
by the government. Now,
re would not have this officer |
Use his power or influence to per
ecute the accused, and would
eel that the administration of |
ustice was disgraced if sny of the de
endants were denied a fair and i'm
,artial trial. At the same time, the
District Attorney must not say it is
skiing too much to request that he
manifest the same degree of zeal and
nergy in the prosecution of these cases
hat he does in prosecuting men accused
{ unlawful cohabitation. He has left
O stone unturned in his efforts to con-
let Mormons, none of whom, we be-
eve, has ever been able to escape after
be Attorney laid his clutches on him.
'hese men who are going to the Dis
riot Court for relief are not Mormons,
ut that is something with which the
overnment attorney has nothing to do;
is duty lies in prosecuting the accused.
Iormons and Gentiles, without regari
} politics or religion, and everybody
i'll expect him to do his duty now
lite as energeticslly as he has done it {
T the past year. If the men who are
wing to him for succor are guilty of [
.e charges upon which they have Been
,nvicted IN the Justices Court, their !
Tense is certainly as immoral and bad :
that of the man who lives openly {
it'll his wives and supports them and
S children. :
The District Attorney has an oppor-
nifty now to disprove the frequently
ard charge, that he is partial and pre- :
diced, and to show whether OF not he
faithful to his trust.

CERTAIN OF the measly press in this
city have had much to say of late, be-
cause, forsooth, the government saw fit
to rent building next to The HERALD
in which to station its troops. We
propose, this morning. to let a
glimmer of light into the cracked cere-
bellum OF those benighted scribes by in
forming them the exact reason why
the troops came to be Quartered IN
such close proximity to The HERALD
Everyone is aware that certain high
and mighty officials have be en- arrested
of late for conduct not necessary here
to name; that others equally high were
threatened, and that the aid of Judge
Zane was invoked to preventive threat
ened disclosures. 1t was while the
quaklng community was shaking from
center to circumference, yet eagerly
catching at the hope that Judge Zane
would step in and save them from their
impending fate, that it became noised
abroad that in case every other attempt
to get the evidence before the public
failed, then it would be published by
one of the newspapers, and The HER
AID was that paper. The panic
OF rage and desperation that ensued can

Nc Brides remarks during the recent
trial. Quiet, bnt determined, meetings
were held, and deep, mysterious mutter-
ings began to be heard finally it reached
US from sources on which we can RELY,
as Murray would say, that threats were
openly made that if The Herald
dared to print that evidence, in spite OF
Judge Zane's rulings, it would be
sacked, RACED to the ground.
In this emergency there was but one
step to be taken, ana we took it. All
the influence we possessed at Washing

KELLEY REJECTED.


The State Department has received
official information that Austria refuses
to receive Major Kelley as the minister
from the United States. Kelley is the
gentleman who was rejected by Italy
because he had denounced Victor EN-
manuel for marching his soldiers into
Rome and establishing his throne where
the Pope had so long held his. Austria
does not say why the MAJOR is objected
TO but all understand the trouble to be
that Keiley's wife is a Jewess, ana as
the world knows, the only thing about
a Hebrew that is respected in Austro-
Hungary is his gold. It seems trifling
matter and certainly beneath the atten-
ton OF an intelligent. progressive state,
but small and Insignificant as it is, it
presents to the United States a grand
opportunity for doing what it should
have done long ago-to abolish the Aus
trian minister and break off diplomatic
relations with the country. The
only possible use that we can
have for. minister at Vi
emma is that we may pay somebody

THE ooMntgssIoN.


THE HERALD does not desire the abo-
Iition of the Utah Commission because
it is especially desireus' of getting rid OF
the gentlemen composing the Cornsnls-
sion. As Federal appointments go, we
are inclined to believe that the Gon-
nissioners ere quite as good, as clever
and as agreeable as any five men that
we are likely to get. Personally, we
have little complaint to make against
the Commissioners. 1T. Is true, they
have gone out. of their way at times, to
saw hard and ill-natured things about
the people of Utah, and have asked fol
more severe and highly obnoxious legis-
lation. Perhaps their stepping out
side of their legitimate and plainly
defined duties, was due % thefact that
they found so little to do that they we're
ashamed to draw their very liberal
salaries without showing an effort to
earn the money. Mr.. Cleveland has
already made it clear that-although he
said when he accepted and endorsed
the party platform that. he would do
otherwise citizens of the Territory
will not be appointed to Commissioner
ships, nor to any other offices at his
disposal, the salaries of which are
an object to politicians elsewhere.
and this being accepted IS true and
final the Commissioners are no more
Objectionable than Others who might
come.
The HERALD wants to get rid of the
Commission because it. Is an unneces-
sary, an expensive and au-ofensive in
stitution. Its creation YES an act of
childlshness, and its Continuance the
height of felly. The Commission was
devised for the purpose of assisting in
the destruction of the Mormon religion,
but those who invented the scheme did
not understand what they we're doing,
for they simply arranged plan for Civ
ing FIVE men fat offices, and putting an
expense of $75,009 a year upon the gov
eminent withoutin the sliahtest degree

practice of all the features of their re-
ligion; that is. the Commission has not
and cannot suppress" any part OF the
Mormon religion. Certain Mormons
have been deprived OF the right to vote
and hold Office. bnt this deprivation
was not by the Commission; it was
done by the law, and the law would
have been enforced as thoroughly By
the Mormons themselves as by
the Commissioners. Indeed, if the law
had been left to the Mormons for en-
forcement, they wouldn't have made
the mistake that the Commission did of
DISTINGUISHING more than the statute
contemplated. The disfraDchised &C
cepted the law, and so far as we have
heard, in no instance has an attempt
been made to evade its provisions, no
body not entitled to vote or hold office
presenting himself for either purpose.
The Commission is useless, and there
fore should be abolished; it is unrepub-
lican and hence ought net to exist.
Until the people prove thatthey cannot
or viii not enforce the laws, they ought
not III a republic to be deprived of the
privilege of trying.
