COMMENTARIES.

The Ne,cs has undertaken to supplant
Story as commentator on the Constitu-
ton, but it succeeds very ill SO far. To
sustain its theory of privilegesit supposes
a case last night. 1t says, suppose a
State should be formed and admitted
into the Union which legalized plural
marriage" The trouble with this is that
it is all supposition, and supposes that
made legal which is now crime. A lit
tie further on the new commentary says:
" Mormon plural marriage, as we have
was not established by secular law, it did
not ask the sanction of the secular law"
This is true, and the fact therein stated is
the very reason it could not become
privilege as contemplated by the Consti-
tuition. We cannot accept the News' the
ory as to what is true Democratic doc
trine, while we are compelled to recog-
nize the doctrine OF the Supreme Court
as to the power OF Congress to legislate
for the Territories, and this power is alb
solute, if Congress chooses to so make it.
That the regulation OF family relations
properly belongs to the local Legislature,
we admit; but the local Legislature has
been content to let the legal family be
the family of the common law, and
which is, as the News knows, upon the
monogamic system. The local Legisla-
ture never legalized polygamous mar
riages, because ''it was none of their
business" Congress, however, made
such marriages punishable, because it
was the business of Congress. The Four
teenth Amendment does not apply, then,
to the privileges" of the Epistle and the
elite, does it? 'sHow's your liver?"
Salt Lake evening Democrat. [volume] (Salt Lake City, Utah) 1885-1887, 1885-11-28
And here are the statements of the

And here are the statements of the
Ners:
Its statement that ''If polygamist in
Utah died intestate, all his polygamous
wives and children had no rights whatever
in his estate, and could get no standing in
court" we showed to be incorrect. and cited
the laws which proved it untrue.
Here are the laws it cited:
Legitimate children and their mothers
inherit in like manner from the father,
whether acknowledged by him or not, pro-
vided it shall be made to appear to the sat-
isfaction of the court that he was the father
of such illegitimate child or children.
Every Legitimate child is an heir of the
person who acknowledges himself to be the
father of such child; and in all cases is an
heir of his mother, and inherits his or her
estate, In whole or in part as the case may
be, in the1same manner as if he had been
born in lawful wedlock. The issue of all
marriages null in law, or dissolved by di-
vorce, are legitimate.
Here are the other statements of the
News:
And as regards illegitimacy, the DEMOCRAT
writer knows very we'll that the term is not
applied by "Mormons' to their polygamous
children by their opponents.
That the Mormon Legislatures never
once spoke of polygamous marriages is
true. 1t was none of their business The
marriages were religious, not secular.

THE ~TRIBUNE's" CHARGES,

The Tribune this morning makes a
great many charges one way and another,
but it is doubtful if it could sustain one
of them. When asked for its evidence OF
certain mails being sent from Florida to
Cuba in fishing smacks, it says that it
copied the fact from a dozen Eastern
papers This does not answer the ques-
ton nor the charge; it is evasion, pure
defense by asking where the fool-killer is
This is very convincing, and shows how
thoroughly logical that paper is in IFS
discussions.
Now, as to the Land Office business.
We deny that Mr.. Bamberger went to
any one in this city or elsewhere and
offered to cut rates on Land Office busi-
ness, but we do assert that an agent or
business manager of the Tribune did, and
that it was that paper and not this which
began to cut Mr. Bamberger could
spare very great deal OF the Courtesy
which ought to govern newspapers,
and still have much more left than the
Tribune ever had. The rule OF journal
istic courtesy which governs the Tribune
seems to be to have everyone bow to it
and do its dictates, and if this is not done,
it is not journalistic courtesy.
Let MS look at the personal charges.
Because we asked the Tribune very
proper question and one it could not an
swer, it cries out in its wrath, "Where is
the fool-killer?" Was the writer of that
sentence afraid to commit suicide, and
did he desire the services of the lord high
executioner to rid him of his miserable
existence? The fool-killer is time, but to
see what fantastic tricks the disordered
brain of the fool will play, time permits
its favorite fool to live long years and pose
as the inspiring spirit of the journal
(which holds the foremost place
among newspapers for thousand
miles in either direction" Poor
fool! treacherous time! To-day it
is the 'fgibber of an idiot" while but
few days ago it was ''idiotic drivel." The
failure of memory and the incoherence
Of ideas is the certain sign of the failing
mind. But why should the "gibber of
an idiot" so disturb the calm serenity of |
mighty man, if he be mighty? What
must be the texture of brain that is set
into wild quiver by the mouthings of
one who, if we may believe the Tribune,
is not responsible? Why notice these
utterances, if there is nothing in them?
The first REQUESTS for truly great man or
paper, is the power of self-control and ca
pacity for ignoring the "gibber OF an idiot"
These things seem to be peculiarly lacking
in the Tribune, and surely the Tribune is
a great paper, or else it has much mis-
placed its praise Between the two
phrases, ''the gibber of an idiot" and
''idiotic drivel," we would recommend
the Tribune to adhere to the latter, which
though classic, being found in Plato, does
not closely follow the original, which is
'driveling idiot" The phrase was a
tavorite with the sophist Trasymachus.
and in its use by the Tribune there is a
fatal coincidence.
Salt Lake evening Democrat. [volume] (Salt Lake City, Utah) 1885-1887, 1885-11-28
DECIDED.

The District Court has decided the
question as to the validity of the prose
cutlons for lewd conduct under the city
ordinance. The ordinance was held to be
valid, but it was held that the cases
sought to be brought under it we're moi
properly within its scope This decision
Will perhaps be disappointing to some,
and some may even say that it was rem
dered to shield a few. But this is no
difference.
One thing in all this business is certain.
and that is that the commencement of
these prosecutions created some consider
able CONSERVATION and if not consterna-
ton, at least surprise. The gossip and
scandal which arise at such times far
very far, transcends the truth. At such
times mere question, slight insinua-
ton, as it goes from one to another grows
into an established fact, and dislike of an
individual will often prompt the starting
OF these base rumors. What once re-
ceived ready credence soon loses all
credence, and the public mind is thereby
debauched' The agitation and gossip of
such times is almost as bad as the inn
morality which such prosecutions are in.
stituted to suppress.
From all the talk and CONSERVATION to
which these prosecutions gave rise, it is
probable that there exists very consider
able immortality as charged in these crimi- /
nal complaints. Ii such immortality does
exist, it should certainly be suppressed.
and If it is so extensive as has been init
mated, truly the town is in
deplorable condition SO far as
personal morality is concerned. A
better and healthier condition OF NOR
ality should be brought about, and this
AN only be done by an absolute sup
preston of the vices which are said to so
argely exist in the city. 1t appears from
