General Epistle by Their Elders.
SALT l. KE, UTAH, April 6.--At the
Mormon General Conference at Logan
yesterday afternoon a general epistle to
the church was read from President
Taylor referring to the present condition
OF affairs in the polygamy prosecution. 1t
says:
Citizens of the highest character have been
selected as the victims of vile persecution.
Jurles are selected for the express purpose of
convict ny men prominent in the church, The
result has been that Mormon is as safe in
seeking Justice of the Internal regions as that
OF courts Of such character a reign of terror
mas prevailed and continues in Utah Con-
slderlng that they have no chance for fair
triai, men have thought it better to avoid
arrest until there is prospect of receiving
impartial justice.
1t continues.
President Taylor remained home until per-
celvlng determination on the part of Ger
tam Federal officials here to embarrass and
harass every prominent man. and being in
formed OF threats against his liberty he
deemed 1t Wise to withdraw. Christianity
cannot offer anything of an eternal character
to compensate US for the abandonment Of
truth demanded of us,
PLURAL MARRIAGE A SACRED CONTRACT.
The constitution protects the sacredness If
contracts. Plural marriage is a contra It of
the most sacred character, beng for time and
eternity.
1t refers to the inadequacy of the pres
ent system of marriage to save man from
dreadful evils, and says:
As it is estimated that the male members Of
the Mormon Church practcng polygamy do
not exceed per cent. Of the whole member
ship, we consider it an act of great injustice
to the remaining IS per cent.
A committee was appointed to draft
resolutions Of protest to President Cieve-
land and the nation, setting forth spe-
citically and in detail the tyranical con-
duct Of Federal officials from which the
people of Utah are suffering.
