mor TINT the spring Conference Of the
Mormon Church Will Abrogate
III polyEamy-whe Favor the Stop.

SALT LAKE, March 19.-The church
organ breaks silence tonight for the first
time on a rumor Of the coming abrogation
Of polygamy at the spring conference. II
argues against it, but does not absolutely
deny 1t, admitting at the same time that q
portion OF the Church fayors the step.
1t closes long editorial by, saying:
members OF the church who feel and
talk fayorably for the abrogation of
doctrinal points arc the reverse Of strong.
They probably belong toa class who be-
lieye in the fullness Of the gospel as re-
yealed through Joseph Smith, and almost
wish they didn't or at leastthat itwas not
true. They would like to do the will Of
God, providing it was strictly in
accordance with their own. They desire
to adhere TO the church because they can
not rid themselves OF the conviction that
il Ia the power OF God unto salvation, but
they would like its doctrines and ways
more in conformity with those Of the
world that every species OF friction which

age might be avoided; in fact, they are
conservative Mormons, another term for
men who, Il the Church OF Christ were
manipulated by them, would doubtless
adopt a policy Of giving up religious rites
piecemeal, until every distinguishing fea;
ture between the Saints and the world
would disappear and they would be
loved all over the earth because
they would be swallowed up by
the world, which loves Its own.
It would result in another universal
apostacy similar to that which took place
shortly subsequent TO the time OF Christie
earthly mission. But coming back to the
starting point all anticipations and predic-
tions regarding the reception ofrovelations
to the church are necessarily premature.
The faithful who seek to know and do
the will Of God will not be shaken
Of their purpose, neithor will they abandon
their religious principles, in the whole or
In part, under any kind of pressure what
ever. They would hold to their integrity
in the full expectation OF sooner or later
beholding the salvation OF God"

THg gterm OF Postmaster Pearson, OF New

OtSll parties have ugred Mr.. Parsons re-
appointment as a substantial pledge Of
Civil Service reform. Mr.. Pearson has
been In the service more than twenty

great curiosity TO know what the President
sgoing to do about 1t.
The suggestion is thrown out that the
President win make no appointment, pre-
iering to allow Postmaster Pearson to drift
along until some time next fall, when a
Democrat will be put in his place. This
course would please the spoilsmen, but 1t
would be no more in the line Of Civil Ser
