Senator Edmunds Approves Some Important
Suggestions for Further Legislation.
Washington Special.
A gentleman who has lived many years in
Utah, and who has had opportunities to become
thoroughly acquainted with the affairs of that
Territory. has suggested to Senator Edm unds
cert ain amendments to the Utah bill recently
passed by the Senate 1t is understood that the
Senator approves them and will suggest them to
the judiciary committee Of the House to be made
additional sections to his bill. The proposition
is that hereafter every person desiring to vote
shall be required to register, and, as euali6ca-
ton to registration must take an oath in writing
that he is sincerely attached to
the principles of the Constitution of the
United States; that he regards the Constitu-
ton and the acts Of Congress and of
the Territorial Legislature. as interpreted by the
court, as the supreme law Of the land; that he
declares allegiance to the government of the
United States and renounces allegiance to any
ether power. civil or ecclesiastical; that he has
no sympathy with the political aims or inten
tions of the Mormon Church; that ne is opposed
to any interference by the church with the exer-
cises of the elective franchise by debating to
couDseling any voter how he shall vote or how
dc ruall peTtUrIH HIS oluCidi duties; lUdt ne O6-
nounces as pernicious, and holds not binding upon
him, any euch counsel or dictation that he is
separated from the political party of the church.
and solemnly promises and swears that he will
not act or be in concert with any political party
acting or which may hereafter act, to carry out
the political will Of the church, or of any Nor
mon political party.
The amendment provides that il any person
shall swear falsely in any particular of the oath.
whether it relates to present fact or future
act, he shall be deemed guilty of perjury, and,
on conviction, in addition to all other punish
ments, shall be stricken from the list of voters
The board of commissioners now existing is
required by the amendment to appoint sub
boards. to hear complaints from electors. for the
purpose of canceling the registration of persons
who have registered through fraud or who have
violated their oaths. and, upon proof of these
facts, to strike the names of such persons from
the registration list The right to appeal to the
board of commissioners is given. and the board
is authorized to make regulations for proceed
ings before the sub-boards. 1t is estimated that
about half of the Mormons could take the pre-
scribed oath. and that the result would be to
free the Territory from Mormon rule. and bring
1t speedily to condition in which it could prop
erly be admitted in the Union as State.

FhfIaueIpnta PresS.
An absurd story is going the rounds to the eff
feet that Postmaster-general Villas first "discov-
cred Senator Spooner and brought him to the
attention of Senator Sawyer. Spooner is as
we'll known in his profession and in politics, and
has been for as many years, as Villas. Judge
Spooner. the Senator's father, is one of the most
prominent iurists in the West, and his name is
the synonym for integrity and uprightness.
Both Spooner and Villas served in the war, and
they are, too, of one age, and their careers,
both as lawyers and statesmen, have been too
much of an even race for one to have 'discov-
cred the other So shrewd man as Senator
Sawyer is not likely TO ask Democratic aid in Sc
iecung men of brains for party leaders IN Wis
