Kate Field on MOrmnniSm.

Kate Field is writing some strong articles as the fruit of several months spent in Salt Lake in the study of mormonism. She looked on the twin relic as a woman would and she had exceptional opportun- ities for learning what the mormon women really think of the creed under which they live. Her con- clusion after many talks with po- lygamous wives and after listening to many sermons by pillars of the church is, that "a mormon woman is an animal to replenish the earth, only this and nothing more." She proves this by many utterances of the heads of the church. One of the most striking is from Brigham Young, who said: "Elders never love your wives one hairs breadth further than they adorn the Gospel; !; never love them so but that you can leave them at moments no- tice without shedding a tear. Should you love a child any more than this, No" The Mormon wo- men, she declares, believe in the genuineness of their religion If they did not, if the religious instincts did not rule them completely, they could never endure the brutality and lust which are the main feat ures of polygamy. This article simply bears out the assertion of all dispassionate observers of Nor monism. It would be a good tract to distribute in those parts of the country where mormon elders find converts.

The Good Work stin Goes on.

It Is with much qualification that
 we learn that the good work of
 ridding our territory of that curse which has biackened her name and
 sullied her record, still goes on wig
 orously. This time it is batch of six Maricopa county polygamists,
 who were dealt with as follows ::
 George Wilson and A. ?. Salisbury six months each, and o. NJ. Stew art, H. Phelps, James T. Wilson and c. I. Robinson three months each. We congratulate the citizens of Apache county who started the anti-polygamy ball q rolling in this territory, that their efforts have accomplished such beneficial and wide spread results, not stopping at the bounds of our territory, but their energy spread to the strong hold of polygamy, Salt Lake, where it was caught by the gentle ele- ment, and behold the results. The credit due our people and the moral benefit they have done the United States can not be over estimated. Their persistent and stubborn fight to prevent this county, and gradu- ally the territory, from falling into the hands of a polygamous priest hood, was not only contested by mormons but by class Of individ- uals who wanted the mormon vote, and still, with this opposition which extended even to those who were, at that time, high federal officers, they have won the battle for moral ity, decency and christianity; and when the history of the downfall of mormonism is handed down 10 our posterity the deeds of the citizens of Apache county should occupy the most conspicuous part.

Mormon Rosh.

The Deseret News, the official or
 gan of the Mormon church, de-
 nounces the action of o. P. Arnold
 who pleaded guilty to=the charge of
 unlawful cohabitation and the dec- laration that he would live within the laws and give moral aid and support to the same. Itsays: Not
 withstanding the course. taken,
 Brother Arnold receiving encomi- ums from the court, its officers, and the approval of the spectators, his example was not one that any con- sistent latter-day saint can afford to follow. The spectacle he presented was not a noble one. Ifevery mem- Der of the church, similarly situated to Mr. Arnold, were to pursue a like course, 1t would appear as if men who profess to be observers of the commandments of God were over come by influence or fear. Latter day saints cannot afford to re- nounce any principle of their relig- ion or any ofits obligations, no mat ter what degree of pressure may be brought to bear to compel them to be recreant in their duty If they repudiate that which God has estab- lished the Lord will throw them cut and all lovers of consistency, and those who admire men who main- tain courage, will despise them. We regret that Brother Arnold should have assumed the position he has taken.

Statehood for Utah.

"A leading Mormon bishop" is given as authority for the statement that "the Mormon priesthood has decided that it will be cheaper to buy statehood for Utah than to en- dure the annoyances that polyga- mists are subjected to by the terri torial laws" And, further, the es- innate is coolly made that million dollars sent to Washington next winter, will effect that object. This may be a corrupt age in which we live, but in all probability the Amer ican Congress will never exist that can be induced to confer statehood on polygamous Utah for $1 100000. And yet, s1,OO0,OO0, small as the amount, seems a large sum to pay for the doubtful lnxury of an extra wife or two.-Prescott Journal,

The seven Bibles of mankind are :: The Bible, the Vedas of the Brah- mans, the Tripitaka of the Budhists the Zend Avesta of the Parsees or Persians, the Chinese Sacred Book of Confucius, the Chinese Sacred Book of Laon-tsze and the Moham- medan Koran. Another book of authority of a pretended religious sect is the Book of Mormon" a publication of the comic almanac order, written by half-witted pres byterian minister for a fanatical crank named Joe. Smith who orga- nized from it ''The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints" com posed principally ofvagabonds and harlots.

Elder w. AfIleck, one of the saint ly saints of the polygamous church blasphemously called of Jesus Christ, during priesthood meeting composed of their head men, open ly and defiantly declared that he had taken another wife in spite of the Edmunds law; he did't care a damn for that law; he went into polygamy just to show outsiders what he could do. This polyga- nous braggadocio probably thought he could prevent Encouragement among the saints" by this sense less harangue, or may be he had taken lessons from Ammon NJ. Ten ney, late of St. Johns, who, when spoken to in regard to his living ill polygamy, would stroke his breast and in an arrogant manner pro- claim: ''if they want to make an example of polygamists, why don't they arrest me; why don't they con vict me? they can't do 1t" but this nincompoop found out that they could do it and did do it, as is evi- dent, from the fact that he is now at the Detroit House of Correction, guest of Uncle Sam.

The Phoenix Gazette says Judge Pinney made ruling in the district court to the effect that all witnesses in criminal cases are entitled, ac- cording to the laws of Arizona, to a per diem of $2 for attendance upon the court and mileage of 20 cents. The natural effect of this ruling will be to increase the county govern ment greatly.

PardOns.

Since the Board of Pardons has been organized the number of ap- plications for pardons is only linn ited by the number of criminals in the penitentiary. Murderers, horse thieves, rapers, and criminals of all grades are asking to be released, to be turned loose to again commit their crimes. We want to be plac- ed on record as against pardoning. For what are our laws made, and how will they be respected if the pardoning power is to be indiscrim- inately used on the presentation of petitions. Any criminal, no mat ter how low or debased, can get up a petition. We advise the Board to meet some dark night and adjourn sine die.

A young preacher in Wellington, Kansas, made himself very free with his money, of which he had a large amount, and some of the sharpers concluded they would fleece him They got him into a private room got him to drinking wine and beer and then coaxed him into private game of draw" When the game closed at late hour every man in the party was dead broke except the young preacher. This is warn ing to never play poker with a preacher.

From the New Mexico Stock Grower.

The range rowdy must go.
 The losses of sheep in New Mex ico this year have been very heavy
 The grass thief freceives a black eye on every side, as does the bull thief.
 But few sales of cattle are repor- ted. All small lots and at varying prices.
 The Panhandle men also say that the old "Hip, hip, hurrah p style of working cattle has got to be stopped.
 Reports from all parts of the ter ritory arc of the most encouraging character. Grass growing nicely and cattle looking we'll
 The heel fly is getting in its work in some parts of the territory, and few cattle are being lost in the bogs in consequence.
 From all points in the northern territories where New Mexico cat tie were taken and wintered, comes the report that they are looking we'll, and losses have been very small.
 In Montana the question of keep ing up the bulls between November and July is being agitated, and an organized effort to accomplish that object will, in all probability, short ly be made.
 The shooting up of towns, often indulged in by some of the reckless cowboys in the territory, must be stopped. There are laws against such outrageous proceedings, and efforts will be made to enforce the same hereafter.
 Bogus cattle companies are be- ing organized in the east. The lat est is the Norfolk cattle company, with headquarters at Boston. The company claims to own range in Grant county, where it has never been heard of.
 The Western Kansas association hired two roundup captains for the season and agreed to pay them $10 each per day. They also resolv- ed that no intruders would be al- lowed on the ranges of members and to refuse all courtesies and as- sistance to the offenders.
 From twelve to fifteen dollars per head is the highest rate which should be placed on cattle by as- sessors, and any higher rate estab- lished should be resisted by stock men in body. That is about the same rate at which they were valued last year, and since then there has been a marked decline-in values.
 A bill was recently introduced in the Texas legislature for the ap- pointment of a commission to de- termine the portions of the state in which Texas fever exists among cattle, but it was she1ved through the determined opposition ofsouth- ern Texas men, who insisted that it was measure in the interest of the Panhandle to the detriment of the other cattle raising sections of the state.
 1here IS a quarantine law III tIe state of Georgia to prevent coast cattle from being driven into the interior of the state. The law pro- vides that cattle from the coast can only be driven fifty miles each sea son. Such law would be of great benefit to Texas, as 1t is well known that cattle from the south which have been wintered in the northern part of that state will not cattle with which they come in contact.

The fact that the Mormons are complaining loudly about the ac- ton of the Federal authorities in Utah is a tolerably good sign that justice is being administered out there with decidedly increased force and precision. We never hear any complaints from that quarter when the laws are loosely enforced, and the power of the Church is equal to the task of preventing the convic- ton and punishment of Mormons in the courts ofthe Territory It is oaly when perjury fails that they resort to whining.-St. Louis Globe Democrat.
