THE NEW EDMUNDS LAW.

The bill which Senator Edmunds has
introduced in regard to Utah matters is a
most stringent measure, it being almost
a copy of the Hoar amendment to the
Edmunds law Of 1882. The bill provides
for many things-among others, the ap-
pointment of fourteen trustees to take
charge of the property of the Mormon
church and to sell the same. This it is
presumed would include the taking pos
session of the places of worship of the
Mormon church, as well as other prop
erty. Another provision is to do away
with female suffrage in Utah, that
suffrage which it was once thought would
do so much for the solution of the Utah
question, but which has only made
stronger the power which it was intended
to weaken. The law regulating the dis
posal of the estates of deceased persons
is said to be very stringent, while illegiti-
mate children are entirely cut off from all
share in the estate of their father. These
are the most important features of the
new Edmunds law, although we have
not seen complete copy of the bill.
The provision for the taking of the
property of the church will in all proba-
bility fail of its object, for the church is
not an entire corporation, as the small
ecclesiastical wards are separately in
corporsted.- How extensive this separ-

A BASE INSINUATION.

The munifcent gift of Governor Stan
ford for the purpose of founding univer-
sity has been a veritable nine days won
der. 1t was so great, SO generous, SC
noble minded, that people and papers
have We'd with one another in giving him
praise, SO that to hear any insinuations
against his purposes in making the en-
dowment is startling. The Eureka Sentinel
of the 14th inst. publishes what Cali
fornia 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
it certain conditions. He stipulated that he
should have tine election of 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 $15,OOo,Cc0 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 so.
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 as though
it was made for mere "buncombe." If
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 it
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 infamybe
of the most profound. But the insinua-
ton is as false as it is base, and deserves
no consideration save for the purpose of
denouncing it,
Salt Lake evening Democrat. [volume] (Salt Lake City, Utah) 1885-1887, 1885-12-16

ate incorporation is we are unaware
The anti-polygamy law of 1862 disincor
porated the Mormon church, and it is 9
question how a 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 SC
fragrant an outrage that it would only
make more solid the already compact
Mormon people. But this is not all. The
confscation of these plaes of worship
would create in the world such SYM
pathy for the people of Utah that such a
confscation would be looked upon as a
disgrace to the American Government
and in no way a solution of the Utah
question. That species of property which
it 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 if it did not overlook
it, is the tithing. The tithing 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 collect the
tithing, as, SO far as the law is concerned,
it is voluntary contribution, and if the
trustees who are to come shall think
that it 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 over
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.

A REMEDY FOR IRISH TROUBLES,

The state of Ireland is one of continual
turmoil. To England chiefly belongs the
credit for this condition of things, al
though the Irish themselves have given
very considerable aid The English
having failed to solve the Irish question
according to English ideas, have deter
mined to boycott the Irish, so SAYS Lon
don special to the New York Sun. IF
such is the case, it will but make bad
matters worse in Ireland and will work
such hardships to the Irish who leave
their own Emerald Isle each autumn to
seek work in English harvest fields. and
those who find employment in mills and
factories, that the suffering consequent
thereon will simply be appalling.
That the Irish pay this political allegiance
to Parnell is true, and this allegiance
makes them hostile to their English en-
ployers, and it is this fact that has caused
the bitter feeling of the workmen of Eng
land towards them The hatred between
the Saxon and the Celt is of the most in
tense type, and seems to be irreconcilable.
The boycotting which has become SO uni
versal in Ireland now threatens to become
as universal in England, but there it will
be against the Irish themselves. Its en-
ployment was wrong in the first place
and it will be just as wrong in England
as it has been in Ireland. 1t is the method
of those times when the law of retaliation
was the law of high and low, and the
century has thought that that
law belonged only to barbarous age gone
never to return. Its extensive reappear-
