ton for membership in the Jefferson Club and
that mis- application had been passed upon by

The Minority Reports that Reform Il Making
Satisfactory Progress.
WASHINGTON, Sept. 27.-Two of the Ave mem
bers of the Utah Commission, John A McCler-
nand and A. B. Carlton, have filed with
the Secretary of the Interior a minority report
Of the commission. They also submitted a
minority report last year. The report received
to-day says:
The reform in Utah is progressing favorsblv.
far beyond our most ssnguins expecta tions
Utah Is forging TO the front among the Rocky
mountain States and Territories, and may be
compared favorably with any Of them in the
enterprise of her citizens, the fertility of her
valleys, the riches OF her mines aud the -four

great deal Of capital is being invested in Utan
by nor. .Mormons in city lots, farming lands and
mining property. Such investments are safe
there in other States Territories-that is
to say, there lie not the slightest danger Of armed
ihsurrectiop, nor. In our opinion, is there any
danger of adverse Legislation that will leopard
ize either personal security or property rights.
Apart from sexual offenses, which are decidedly
on the decrease. the people Of Utah will com
pare favorsoly with other communities for
peace, good order. sobriety. honesty and indus
try"
The commissioners say that in their opinion
a great majority of the Mormon people have
wisely resolved that the practice OF polygamy
should be abandoned. "We are thoroughly sat
isfed," say the commissioners 'that work
OF reformation in Utah is progressing rapidly,
and that il will result in a successful ISSUE
without to Legislation that is proscriptiye
OF religious opinion. Our view may be epitom.
lied in the words, punish criminal actions. but
religious creeds. never"
The commissioners are adverse to any further
restrictive legislation by Congress, believing
tnst the present laws are sufficiently stringent,
cad will accomplish all that can be reasonably
required of legal coercion. The report recon-
mends the adoption of an amendment to the
federal Constitution prohibiting the institution
or practice of polygamy in any. form in the
States and Territories, or other place over which
the United States have exclusive jurisdiction.
The commissioners, in conclusion, say:
I've have no disposition TO defend the Nor

them. but believe they entitled to be
treated with justice and humanity; that they
not incorrieible; that they subject to be
