Mormon Matters.

SALT LAKE, April l2.-The annual
conference of the Mormon church which
has just closed alter a four days session,
brought people from all states and terri
tories where there are Mormons. The
feature of the occasion was an epistle
signed by MILFORD Woodruff in behalf of
twelve apostles, which differ materially in
tone from similar papers issued by his
predecessors. 1t is an exhortation to the
people to live pure lives, being simply
such an epistle as any bishop or pastor of
a Christian congregation might present to
his flock. The late President John r.
Taylor used to make use of these eplstles
to advocate polygamy and argue its
rlghtfulness by reference to the old tesla.
ment and alleged Mormon relations, but
President Woodruff has ignored the sub
iect, evidently being determined to keep
the church in line, with which move
ment was in%augurated a year ago to
abolish the plural wife system.
"A significant circumstance is the fact
that during the conference a young elder
from the country named Clawson, on
being called to the pulpit spoke in favor
OF the practice Of polygamy, ever since
which deep Indignation has been expressed
by the public, and interviews with lead.
ing Mormons show that they are deeply
c~hagrined by the young mans reckless
and unauthorized u%tterances. The elder
is openly censured and the advocacy of
polygamy is denounced by prominent
~churchnen as well as by the public, which
believed in fact that the practice had not
been preached, the adoption the last year
of the propo- ed state constitution forbid
ding. The sensation which Clawson's
u]tterances occasioned. and tho earnest
ness with which his discourse is con
demned and %repudiated GO far to prove
that the Mormons are sincere in their
declarations in the press and on the wit.
ness stand, that they had abandoned
polygamy.
The absence of any mention of it in
Woodruff epistle is favorably commented
on by the masses of the Mormons and BY
the gentiles, who begin to believe that the
saints are sincere in their professions, es.
peciallY as there is no evidence that polyg.
amous marriages have taken place for
more than a year.
The real estate and immigration booms
continue Mormons and g~entiles are
working tremendously to bring in people
and give an impetus to the growth and
development of Salt Lake City.

Powderly's Reply.

PHILADELPHIA, April 12.-This weeks
Journal Of United Labor will publish
three letters from Master Workman Pow
derby. In one of them he complains bit
terly of the treatment the knights of
Labor received at the hands of certain
papers, and says: An editorial in one of
them takes me to task for entering into a
compact with the Brotherhood of Loco
motive Engineers to conduct the present
strike on the Chicago, Burlington &
Quincy road. | have entered into no
detail, | cannot into any arrangement,
which will countenance the handling of
20 cars on that road by the Knights of
Labor.
While do not approve of strikes, l
will never lend my sanction or aid to the
knights or others to assist a corporation
to break up any labor organization. The
future welfare OF the toiling masses to-
day is centered in the Knights Of Labor
more than any other order and the man
or woman who would destroy the hope of
the millions deserves the hatred and
scorn of future ages"
