THE MORMONS.
Synopsis of the Annual Report
of the Governor of Utah.
Recommending an Investigation
by a Committee of Congress.

Caleb W. West, Governor Of Utah, in his
annual report to the President, estimates the
population Of the Territory at $4,000, an
increase Of $4,000 since 1880. The assessed
taxable valuation is stated to be
$46, ,379, 073, an increase Of about sll0O0 dur
ing the year. The aggregate mineral pro-
ducts Of the Territory for the calendar year
1887 is given as 1851, 7S, Of which
$5,9T6, ,Ss4 was silver. Labor has been
in demand during the year. Carren-
ters receive $3.50 per day, and are
in strong demand Stonecutters, masons,
also in demand. Miners from So 5U to "a
per day. Nearly all the other trades ara
we'll paid and fully employed. In his re-
marks upon the Mormon question the Gov
ernor says:
Nothing can justify the despotism of the
Mormon political system to a people who
have known and appreciate the blessings OF
Church and State is perfect and indissoluble.
It is based upon the complete and abso-
lutte control Of priesthood welding q
supreme power, exercised and yielded
to as emanating Immediately from
God, in all things secular as well as spiritual.
The word Of the priesthood is to the Mormon
people the command Of God, not only in mat
ters Of faith and morals, but in all civil, po-
litical, and commercial affairs. This priest
hood not only rules the Church, but governs
the State.
The Governor declares that the local civil
Government under the Mormons is arbitrary.
The Governor recommends the appointment
by Congress Of committee with full au
thority to make a complete and thorough in
vestigation Of the civil as well as religious
conditions heretofore and now prevailing in
the Territory.

Civil War in Manitoba.

The excitement over the trouble between
the Manitoba Government and the Cana
dian Pacific Railway continues unabated.
While the Central Pacific Road had an
armed force of nearly 1000 men guarding
the point at which the Northern Pacific
first attempted crossing, the. latter set its
track layers to work under cover Of dark
ness at point three or four miles
away. A diamond crossing was put
In before morning and a force Of special
police left to guard It. When Super
tntendent White, Of the Canadian Pa
cifc Railway, heard Of this he went there and
with large force, and upon arriving at the
scene ordered his men to pull up the dia-'
mond. Resistance was offered, but on
account of the overpowering plumbers of the
Canadian Pacific Railway men it was very
feeble, and the Northern Pacific specials were
quickly beaten back and their crossing torn
UP and carted away. No one was badly in
ilred in the scrimmage, but pitched battle
would have resulted if the Northern Pacific
force had been larger. Men employed by
the Government have secret instructions to
fire should they be molested.
Special police, armed to the teeth, were set
to watch the crossing after it was made, and
any attempts to damage Government prop
erty will be resisted by people whose blood ls
at fever heat by outrages perpetrated on them.
The Canadian Pacific Railway men, 400
strong, so late dispatch says, oyerpowered
the Manitoba Governments force, tearing
up the crossing laid down by the latter the
night before
