deamed expedient that the examining
paper, should be referred to Washington,

Mormon people (who are probably FIVE
sixths of the whole population) to the law
of Congress for the suppression of polyg
ANY, known as the Edmunds law. In all
questions affecting the Mormon Church
and people, both polygamous and monoga-
nous Mormons make common cause.
They stand together, and are united. They
maintain-publicly through their leaders
and teachers, in their houses of worship,
| through their press, aud privately in social
and business circles-that the law is
an infamous interference with and de-
NAL to them of that religious freedom
guaranteed to all by the Constitution that
they are prepared to, and will if requested
sacrifice their personal comfort, their prop
erty, suffer indefinite imprisonment and
surrender life ITSELF rather than yield and
promise obedience to the law and forego
the privileges they claim. The Govern
ment can have and hold but one position
towards this people, which is of easy state
ment. Its authority must be respected, its
laws must be ebeyed. During the year
there were 81 convictions in the Federal
| Courts for polygamy and unlawful C,
habitation. Ia nearly all these cases
the convicted people absolutely refus d
to accept their freedom by giving
their promise to obey the laws in the
future" In conclusion, the Governor
says he knows of no armed organization
for the purpose of opposing the lawful
authorities, or resisting the enforcement of
the laws, nor does he believe any such now
exists, but says the need may arise at any
time for the prompt use of strong, we'll
disciplined and efficient military force to
aid the civil power, and recommends that
a force of United States troops be placed
and kept in garrison in the Territory. The

reference to polygamy now before Con-
gress. Its effect will be to stay immigra-
ton and deprive OF political privileges
those who identify themselves with this
people to aid and abet them in their viola
ton of the law
