Mormon Affairs.

A large meeting of Mormon women
was held in the theatre Salt Lake
City. March 6. Many speeches were
made and a protest adopted. The
speeches upheld the right of women
to so into polygamy. They said
thousands OF women in the East, now
in houses Of prostitution, would be
glad to be made the wives of such as
the speakers were. It was maintain
ed that the government had no right
to say that women should not marry.
It might as we'll take the opposition
course and compel virgins to refrain
from cloister marrying, Such social
preferences should be respected, The
government had no right to interfere.
The protest declared that women had
been outraged in the Utah courts. An
emphatic denial was made that they
voted otherwise than according to
their free VIII. The noble women
who had refused to answer the CUES
tons propounded by the courts We're
eulogized, and the action Of Judge
Zane and Z. s. Attorney Dickson, in
requiring testimony from a legal wife
against her husband in unlawful CO.
hahitation cases was condemned.
Senators Morgan, Brown and Teller
and Belya Lockwood were thanked
for assisting in legislation for Utah.
The wives and mothers Of the United
States were called upon to come to
the assistance of the women OF Utah
in their renonstance to interference
with their rights. A committee was
appointed to memorabilia the Presi-
dent OH the subject. An enthusiastic
speaker expressed wondsrnent if the
federal officers and courts would per-
sist in their course after reading our
protest" Another indignant sister
held the 'horde of petty officials" in
contempt.

WASHINGTON LETTER..
From our Regular Correspondent.

WAsdIScIoN. Feb 26. 1886.
Another trio Of conventioIsha as been
hold in this city during the week
Washington has loDg been a monopol-
ist in this respect. 1t has come to be
the unquestioned rendezvous for all
kinds Of associations. Meteorologists
have been here talking about the
weather; the Swedenborgians have
been in council, and distinguished
educators from all parts of the coun-
try have been discussing their broad
subject. The latter gathering was a
large, representative one, andits inter
chonge of views was useful to the sys-
TEN with which it is identified, as well
as o%finterest to all friends of the com
mon school.
AS to Congress, the Senate continu-
es to disagree an the great Educa-
tional bill, and the House continues
to waste time and talk on all kinds of
unimportant subjects. It becomes
more evident every day that the ex-
petition Of business under the new
rules Of the House is not expedited to
any appreciate extent. There is no.
thing in the new rules to prevent
Members from irrelevant speeches.
If they desire to stray away from the
subject, there is no way to head them
off.
For instance the House goes into
Committee of the Whole on the pri-
vate calendar. A private bill is taken
up and a representative offers an
amendment to it and then branches
off and makes a long speech on the
Silver question. as did Mr.. Scott, the
millionaire member from Erie, Penn,
a few days ago. Forthe present, how
ever, Saturday has been set apart for
general debate, and it is hoped this
will prevent business being disturbed
on other days by Members who have
speeches to deliver on special subjects.
Senator George, of Miss, is one of
the latest contributors to the Educa-
tional debate. He cited a number of
instances in which money had been
appropriated from the National Treas
ury to purposes not enumerated in the
Constitution. and asked Senators
where, in their view Of the constitution,
they found authority for sending ships
to Ireland In 1S47, and to France and
Germany in 1876, to relieve distress
in those countries.
"We gave millions Of money! said
he, ito a Centendial Exposition, and
a good deal of money to the New Or
leans Exposition. Where was the au-
thority in the constitution for that, or
for a bureau Of agriculturee Where
was authority to tax the people for the
education Of the indians, and why
should we educate the Indians and
not the colosed peopleg Where was
the authority to establish and nam
tain q Congressional library # to
educate Congressman, why was an APP
preparation for their education more
constitutional than IN appropriation
to educate their constituents? p
Senator Gray, Of Delaware, hoped

that Senator George would not claim
that a climate could be built among
featner-moss and orchids. The Sen
ator from Miss, replied that the ques-
ton now was where Congress got au-
thority to build a library in Washing
ton. Finally he asked whence came
the authority to pay pensions? Mr.
Gray said from the power to raise and
maintain armies. and Mr.. Morgan said
from the fourteenth amendment.
Mr.. George differed from both Sen
ators saying it was a bounty from the
Government, and a very proper and
dutiful beneficence.
A Republican Senator is quoted as
saying that there were not a dozen
Senators who wanted the Blair Edu-
cational bill to pass. but had not
sufficient moral courage to vote
against it. It is alleged that the Re.
publicans do not want to place ST.
900, 900 in the hands Of the Democratic
officials for disbursement, and yet they
do not want to go on record as voting
against a measure to educate the ne
groes Of the South. Senator Blair
has subjected himself to much unkind
criticism by bringing ia al issue SO
dangerous to ambitious statesmen.
Some animated debates are prolnis-
ed in Congress next week, In the
Senate the Republican caucus reso-
lutions relating to the Administration
Withholding official papers will be met
by a counter demonstration from the
Democrats. Alively political discuss
ion will follow that is likely to run on
some days, and draw large crowds to
the galleries. La the House of Repre-
%sentatives the Silver question comes
up for debate on Tuesday. Sixty
members have signified their intention
TO be heard, and ten days have been
set apart to allow them the wished
for opportunity.
In Department circles the latest item
of interest is the formation3of a novel
association which has just been incor-
porated under the title Of "The Clerks
Beneficial League" 1t is composed
of Government clerks and is for the
benefit and protection of discharged
Government clerks. From the en-
trance fees a fund is provided to be
paid members when they lose their
places. From a S3.10investment each
member is to get $500 if discharged
from the Government service.
