BISHOP FUTILE ARRIVES HOME.
His Trip Through the East-A Gen.
eral Interest I'm Utah Affairs.

Bishop Tuttle returned home Wednes
day evening from somewhat EXTENDED
visit in the East, and was this mornin
encountered by a DEMOCRAT reporter, VIII
opened up desired interview by askin
the Bishop what part of the East he ha'
spent most of his time in, and what hat
been the character of his labors.
81 have traversed great deal Of coun
try during my ABSENCE said Mr.. futile
"but the principal part of the time I have
spent in the dioceses of New York anC
Long Island, in the discharge of duty, O
course"
Have your duties embraced anything
relating to Utah?''
"Only so far as my being one OF the
national committee of five naturally
makes Utah an objective point for the
| disbursement of funds raised under the
committees administration in the inter-
ests of education.
els any special action being taken by
the religious organizations in the East in
regard to the Utah question:"
"Not anything of a special nature, l
believe. The whole American constitu-
encies are of one voice in the matter of
bringing the Mormon people in harmony
with the law and for the. adjustment Of
polygamy; but you know this country,
America, is vast domain, and there are
so many questions of infinitely more con-
sequence than our local issues here, that
one small. matter is not likely to take
precedence OF all else.'
did you take any active part yourself
in bringing the condition of affairs in
Utah before the attention of the Eastern
public?"
Personally made no effort in this d.
rection. All that did was done under
the appointment and authority of the
committee. Of course, was frequently
requested to express my views on the
Utah problem, and during my absence l
delivered a considerable number of adj
dresses, in which references were made
to affairs here"
"Was your visit to the East success
full one in all respects-did you attain the
ends desired?'
"Oh, yes; my visit was strictly in the
interests of the Educational committee,
and performed those duties assigned to
me-"
'.How did you find things in the East
generally?"
Well, there is an abundance of money
everywhere, but there appears to be very
little disposition to invest any of it in new
The result of this fearful
'eticence is a veritable plethora among
he money holders; and until the ele-
nents which are disturbing the country
hall be quieted there is not much pros
'ect of very general circulation OF this
boarded wealth. In regard to the feeling
m the Mormon question there is a de-
ided stand taken fin every hamlet and
own to influence the enforcement of the
avs against polygamy, and that feeling
all through the nation. 1t is
ot a matter of interfering with the gen
raj belief Or religion of the people here,
ut determinate judgment that the peo-
lie everywhere throughout the nation
hould be governed by the common
aw"
