BISHOP SHARP!
| hold myself amen
ablo TO the laws of my
country, and in what
ever degree | may
have infringed upon
the provisions there
of, am ready to meet
the penalty.
| am the husband
of more than one liv-
ing wife and the
father of a number of
children by each of
them. The most of
my children have ar
rived ut their ma
jority.
| respectfully sub
init to this Court that
the marriage covenant
that l entered into
with each of my wives
was made Mt q time
when there existed no
law upon the statute
books which made an
offense of the plural
marriage relations as
contemplated i'll our
religion, and that we
entered those marri-
age relations and
made those marriage
covenants with the
most profound convic
ton that wo were
obeying the law of
God. Furthermore,
from the time we
made those sacred
covenants to the pres
ent, we have sus-
tanned the most de-
vout reverence Cor the
sanctity and divine
origin of that law, and
we have not design
edly placed ourselves
in conflict with any
of the laws of our
adopted country in
embracing this cardi-
nal doctrine of our
religion.
Your Honor can
readily conceive my
discontinue and that
of my wives when we
learned that Congress
had enacted what is
known rs the ed
munds law" which
not only subjected us
to political disabili-
ties, but also forbade
US the right to live to-
gether rs we had done
for SO many years. By
this now law we are
ma de trausgressors
and deprived of many
of tho privileges of
citizenship; and. while
| consider this q harsh
law, yet IL does not, Ms
| understand it, nor
as l understand it to
be construed by the
courts, require that l
shall disown the
mothers of my chill
dren as my wives or
abandon them to the
charity of an unsym-
pathizing world.
| expect to remain
under the political
disabilities place d
upon me, but l have
80 arranged my fam
lily relations as to con
form TO the require
ments of the law, and
| am now living in
harmony with its pro-
visions in relation TO
cohabitation, as con-
strned by this Court
and tho Supreme
Court of the Terri
tory, and it is my in
tention to do so in
the future until m
oyerruling Providence
shall decree greater
religious federation in
the land.

A (so-called) National CONNER
cial Convention, representing the
railroads and the National banks
was held at Atlanta, Georgia, few
days ago. or course 1t resolved In
favor Of the suspension Of the coin

favoring legislative control OF the
railroads on the table. Mr. Tren.

Of opinion since Its congressman
had voted for the Bland silver bill,
and yet every banker OF the state
was opposed to the Bland bill from
the first. Such u convention is a

The editor of the National Advoc-
ate, the Greenback paper OF Inde-
pendence, claims to have had an IN
terview with Congressman elect Full
Ter, OF the Fourth District. in which
he said, that he, considered the
question of national finance the most
important before the American peo-
pie. He said there was no issue be-
tween the republican and democratic
parties and that he thought it very
probable that the country would yet
divide on the financial question. For
himself, he had got far enough in his
study OF the subject to determine to
advocate the payment o. the national
debt and the dicentinualce OF the
present system OF national banking"

trict do not appear to have gained
much by the defeat Of Calamity Wei

suspend any State officer at pleasure,
and snap his fingers at courts. He
can appoint and remove railroad
commissioners, remove State Officers

inquiry is, who owns the Governor !?

GOLD PAYMENTS.
Probability That Secretary Man.
ming Will Soon be Compelled
to SUSPEND Them.
From the New York sun.

From the New York sun
Unless Secretary Manning ADAM
dons his proclaimed purpose OF keep
ing in the treasury 500, 600, 900 In
gold as reserve fund for the re-
demption OF legal tender notes, he
will very soon, for all other purposes,
have to suspend gold payments. The
available gold In his hands last Sat
urday amounted to only $l15, 1876, 922,
which Is nearly $1,OOO,OOO less than
it was the Saturday before, over
$4,000, 900 less than four weeks be-
fore, and fully $4,000, 900 less than on
January 2, nineteen weeks ago. The
decrease thus far this year has been
at the rate Of about 81 $40, 900 a week,
which in 12 weeks would more than
exhaust the surplus Of SIS. 1882 on
hand. Indeed, the decrease last
year in the IL weeks from May l to
Aug. 9 was 4l9, 237 1902, and there ex-
lists no reason why it should not pro-
coed with equal rapidity this year.
BY the first OF August, therefore, or
at least the first Of September, the
secretary will have to choose be-
tween trenching upon hts pet $780,
OO0, 900 gold reserve and the payment
OF interest on the public debt and Of
the ordinary expenses Of the govern
ment In silver dollars. The proba-
bility is that he will adopt the latter
alternative, his example will be fol-
lowed by the banks, and by the peo-
pie the greenbacks themselves will
soon have to be redeemed in silver.
ard We shall witness at last the much
dreaded supremacy Of the silver
standard.
As to the effect Of its probable
suspension OF gold payments and the
substitution Of silver, we repeat what
We have often said before. The
change will not be the calamity that
many suppose 1t will be. 1t will not
cause financial panic nor collapse
In business. On the contrary, judg-
ing by the results OF the suspension
OF gold payments in 1862 it is much
more likely to revive industry and
stimulate speculation. There will
be q rise in the prices Of all kinds OF
property, or. at least, cessation OF
the continued fall which for the last
five years has checked new enter
prises, and thus capital will be en-
couraged to begin making those in
vestments on which labor depends
for employment.
We await the event with curiosity,
but without the least apprehension.
