food; heartburn, feeling Of
weight and wind in the stom-
ach, bad breath, bad taste in

ate incorporation is we are unaware. |
The anti-polygamy law of 1862 disincor-
porated the Mormon church, and it is a
question how disincorporated body can
again be disincorporated. Supposing that
the houses of worship OF the Mormon
church were to be seized by these four
teen trustees, the question in Utah
would be no nearer solved than it is to-
day, while to do such thing would be so
fragrant an outrage that it would only
make more solid the already compact
Mormon people. But this is not all. The
confiscation of these plaes Of worship
would create in the world such a sym
pathy for the people of Utah that such
confscation would be looked upon as q
disgrace to the American Government
and in no way solution Of the Utah
question. That species OF property which
il is desirable that no church should
amass in any quantity and Of which the
church dominant in Utah may be pos
sessed more or less, is not in such shape
and title that it could be discovered.
Another important fact which this new
bill overlooks, and Of which it could have
no possible control il it did not overlook
it, is the tithing. The tithng which the
Mormon people pay is the chief source Of
the wealth Of the church. How would
the fourteen trustees deal with this mat
ter? They certainly could not collectthe
tithing, as, so far as the law is concerned,
it is n voluntary contribution, and If the
trustees who are to come shall think
that il will be continued to them
as representatives of the Twelve
their error is great beyond conception.
They may have dominion over the fowls
OF the air, the beasts of the field, the
fishes of the sea, and every living thing
but they will never have dominion ovel
the tithing.
This new bill of Senator Edmunds' is
in no way solution OF the Utah question
while in many respects it makes it, pro
viding it shall become law, more com
plicated. Some of the provisions are very
good, while some are very bad.

dowmcnt is startling. The Eureka Sentinel
OF the 14th inst publishes what a Cali
forna lawyer says on the subject, and
what the lawyer says is an insinuation OF
the basest kind Here is his opinion:
In the State of California they have law
which provides that the State can accept be-
quests from private individuals for certain
purposes of charity or public benefit, and
that such bequests when accepted are free
from State taxation. Senator Stanford made
| this bequest to the State, but coupled with
il certain conditions. He stipulated that he
should have the election of a trustee or di.
| rector who should have absolute control OF
the bequest, its investment, and who should
decide what should be done with its income.
The director was to have absolute control of
| everything relating to this fund. The Sen
ator further provided that the bequest might
be revoked at his pleasure. The State ac-
cepted it subject to the conditions. Then
Mr.. Stanford named himself as the director.
He by doing this placed his S15,001,0Oo un-
| der cover safe from taxation while he re-
mains in absolute control of it. Whenever
it pleases him to put his money back into
his own pocket he can do 50.
Why this insinuation should be made
against Governor Stanford is hard to un-
derstand, for he has never acted as though
he were insincere in his gift nor us though
it was made for mere "buncombe." II
he had no other reason for making his
bequest than that of shielding some mil
lions OF property from taxation, he would
scarcely have adopted this method, for il
is open and notorious, and fraud could
easily be detected. Even if such could
possibly be the case, his reputation would
forbid him to employ this method, for as
his act was noble, so would his infamy be
of the most profound. But the insinua
ton is as false as it is base, and deserves
no consideration save for the purpose o
