The STANDARD Oh RULE OF TEST.


In discussing this question: Mr.. Hiles
recognizes the necessity of having rule
or test of right conduct and wrong con-
duct, and hence lays down the follow
ing as the rule or test:
1--WE find one universal, one unvarying
principle in human consciousness, by which
all men dete; mine night conduct and WropK
conduct, ethically considered, which is
that; that ie tCTon0 conduct trhich dsstrous or
tends to the destruction Of human life or trkich
causes IRRITATION Of fts better enjoyment; and
that is right conduct which saves or tends
to the conservation, or which enhances the
enjoyment Of human life"
AnG this is to be the standard of right
and wrong by which Mr.. 81. proposes to
test the rightfulness or wrongfulness Of
Mormon celestial marriage. If Mr.. b &.
shall prove that Mormon polygamy de
stroys life, or tends to its destruction;
or that it causes s privation of the bet
ter enjoyment of life, then according to
the standard or test OF what is right and
what is wrong that he laid down and
We accept in this controversy, then he
will claim that his case is made out.
But let 1t be remembered here that his
lie of right or wrong also admits that.
'that is right conduct which saves, :or
tends to the conservation, or which en-
hances the enjoyment of human life. -
Admitting that it is possible that any
system may produce a vast amount of
good and some little evil, or a great deal
of evil and some little good, as may be
quite likely, since
T lat virtue still some tineture hast of vice,
And vice of virtue.
In such a case we would then
have to judge of the rightfulness
or wrongfulness of the particular svs-
TEN by the preponderance Of
the good or evil it is calculated to pro-
duce. If the good results growing ouf
OF the system largely exceeds all minor
evils attendant upon it, then we would
say it is good and right TO practice it,
but if the evil was in excess of the good ,
then we would say it is bad system
and wrong to practice it.

THE HERALD does not believe that any
Mormon nor any man who would have
the Mormons treated fairly, will vote
for John HALEY for Delegate to Con-

will vote for man who boasts that he
is the most stalwart of the Mormon
haters and prosecutors and who has
shown by his actions and utterances
that he is the bitter enemy of the Nor
