TSzZ. ElsDSsxIvsSs BILL.

The Mormon Church has strong
lobby with plenty of money in
Washington to fight the new Ed
munds bill in the House, but it is
not likely that their efforts will
avail. Tie main features of the
bill are as follows:
Territorial laws creating and con-
tinuing the Mormon Church cor
poration are annulled; and the
President is to appoint (by and
with the advice of the Senate) four
teen trustees TO manage the prop
crty business OF the corporation ;
and the Acknowledgement is ordered
TO institute proceedings to forfeit
md escheat all property acquired
b the corporation in controvcn-
zion of the United States laws, the
cscheated property TO be then sold
and the proceeds devoted to the
common school purposes in the
Territory, but no building is to be
forfeited that is used exclusively
for worship.
All immigration companies or
organizations created by the Terri
torial government are abolished,
and the ACKNOWLEDGEMENT is to take
steps to have the Emigrating Fund
Company wound up. The existing
election districts of Utah are abol-
ished, and new ones that will give
the people equal representation are
marked out.
The Office of District School
Superintendent is declared vacant
and the court is directed to fill the
vacancy.

The Carson Tribune says: just
so long as girls refuse to accept
situations as help in private fami-
lies, just so long will the Chinese
remain, and the talk of getting rid
the plague will end in smoke. A
truthful gentleman informs the
Tribune that he could secure stu
atoms for twenty-five young women
in respectable families, and that
numbers who really need work are
too proud to accept employment,
and some among the number are
living practically at the expense of
the county.

that Brig Hampton, the Mormon
recently convicted Of conspiracy
and sentenced to serve one year in
the county Jail, is not confined in
Jail at all, but has a room luxuri-
ously fitted up in the county build
ing next the county officers where
he lives in luxury and comparative
freedom. This oaght not to be.
It does seem that there should be
some way by which such scoun-
drels as Hampton could be made
to feel the heavy hand of the law
by serving their sentence in Jail as
the law contemplates. To allow
him the freedom he now enjoys is
a mockery of justice and there

farce can be turned into real
