George Stephenson, Englands great Angi-
Ueer, began his experience as an inventor
with the perpetual motion problem, ! for
which he constructed q machine. His bog
rapher describes it as consisting Of a wooden
wheel, the periphery of which was furnished
with glass tubes filled with quicksilver; and
as the wheel rotated the quicksilver poured
itself down into the lower tubes, and thus
SORT of self acting motion was kept up in the
apparatus, which, however, did rot prove to
be perpetual"
Not year passes but some new enthusiast
lodges ut the patent office the specifications
Of some machine for perpetual motion. This
IS not in itself considered evidence of insan-
tty, but it is unquestonably regarded 10y
come - proof of mechanical alteration.

THE MINORITY REPORT
MpsSrs. Carlton and McCler-
nand Give Their Views.
THE DECLINE Of POLYGAMY
They Disapprove of Further Anti
Polygamy Legislation rs Unnec-
essary-Other Points.

Following is the full text of the re-
port of Judge A. B. Carlton and Gen
eral John a. McClernand, the " minor
ity " of the Utah Commission, to the
Secretary of the Interior:
CHICAGO, ILLINOIS, September "a. 1888.
Sir:-Former reports of this COM
have been so full and elaborate
as to supercede the necessity of any
particularly of detail at this time. 1t
may be stated generally that the
REFORM IN UTAH
is progressing favorably, far beyond on
most sanguine anticipations when we
first entered upon our official duties.
Utah is forging to the front among the
Rocky Mountain States and Territor-
les; and may be compared favorably
with any of them, in the enterprise Of
her citizens, the fer tility of her valleys,
the richness Of her mines, and the
hourishing condition of her cities and
towns. A great deal of capital is being
invested in Utah by non-Mormons in
city lots, farming lands, and mining
property. Such investments are as safe
there as in any other State or Terri
tory; that is to say, there is not the
slightest danger of Instructions, nor,
in our opinion, is there any danger of
adverse legislation that will jeopardize
pers onal security or property rights.
Apart from sexual offences (Which are
decidedly on the decrease), the Nor
mon people of Utah will compare
fsvorably with other communities for
peace, good order, sobriety, honesty
and industry. In this respect, we con-
cur in the opinion of our three asso-
ciates of the Utah Commission, as ex :
pressed in their report of September
3Oth, 1887:
The majority of the Mo1mons are a
kindly and hospitable people. They
possess many traits of character which
are we'll worthy of emulation by others.
In their local affairs, they strive to sup
press Ine VICES WHICH are COMmOn Io
settled communities. In matters of
religion, they are intensely devotional,
rendering cheerful obedience to their
church rules and requirements. They
possess many of the elements which,
under wise leadership, would make
them useful and prosperous people"
Either the "wise leadership" here IN
voked or the voluntary action of the
people, appears to have been asserted
within the last eighteen months in
ways that are commemorate. Within
that time, the mass of the Mormon
voters have taken the registration oaths,
swearing that they will

NOT 60 INTO PoLYGAMY,

and 95 per cent. of them voted in
August of last year for the adoption of
the constitution prohibiting and pun
ishing the offense. Subsequently, the
Legislative Assembly of Utah, COM
posed of thirty-one Mormons and five
nom ormons, on March 9Th, 1888,
passed a very well considered and
efficient marriage law, providing among
other things severe penalties against
clerks who issue licenses for plural
marriages, and officers, priests or
preachers who solemnize such unlawful
marriages. The act also declares all
polygamous marriages null and void.
The same legislature also adopted a
resolution in relation to polygamy and
other sexual offences, under the law of
Congress, that "this assembly are in
favor of just, humane and impartial
enforcement of said laws of the United
States, in the same manner that other
criminal laws are enforced, under the
constitution and laws of our country,
to the end that such offences mag be effect
Gally prohibited"
In the City of Salt Lake, one of the
most beautiful and Furnishing cities ia
the Rocky Mountain region, the non
Mormons constitute about one-third of
the population. Among them are
many strong, energetic and prosperous
citizens. Formerly, under the law, the
aldermen and councilmen were elected
by the voters at large of the whole city.
The result was, that the Mormons, be-
ing in the majority, elected all their
candidates. But at the municipal cleo
ton Of this year, in February, the
Mormons proposed to the Gentiles that
they select four of their best men as
candidates, to put on a ticket with ten
Mormons, for. aldermen and council
men. This proposition was accepted
by portion of the non-Mormons; and
this fusion ticket was elected by large
majority. In this connection, it is
proper to add that the last Legislative
Assembly enacted law for the election
of members of the city governments
by wards.
The import of these facts is empha-
sized in remarkable manner, by what
is now transpiring in the courts in
Utah. Within few days past, num-
Der of M0rmons, charged By indictment
with sexual offences and who had been
evading trial, came into open court,
waved trial,

Trustee Leblanc raised a cyclone
oyer the omission from the minutes, Of
the motion made by Trustee McRae
at former meeting naming 4 Board
of Directors for the public library.
The minutes were ordered corrected.
Mr.. Leblanc said he wasn't run
ming the town, but he would have a
share in running the council He
would run the council if he was in
John Paden's place.
Mr.. Padden said that the man who
owned four votes in the council ought
to run the council if he handled the
votes right.
Mr.. Leblanc said this was q coun-
ell meeting, and no place to talk
politics
Mr.. Padcn said You're another, y
or words to that effect
Mr.. Leblanc wanted to know if the
clerk had his minutes corrected
/ Clerk Tanning said he had, but his
amendment failed to show the names
Of the board of directors, which he
said he would I'll in.
! Mr.. Leblanc said he wanted the
names filed in.
Clerk Tanning said, with some
warmth, that he would fill them in,
and gave Mr., Leblanc an Invitation
not to be SO nervous. The clerk then
completed The record.
Nlr NcRae insisted on further
amending the minutes relative to the L.
brary board, and Leblanc and McRae
got in a home thrust on President
Paden by stating that he was no gen
+ tleman.
After which the minutes were ap-
proved
We might quote II ore to the same
effect, but this is quite enough to show
how our city fathers pass their time
in council. and deliberate upon our
public affairs.

On mature deliberation it has
been decided by The management to
change the Daily Inter Ocean from
a morning to an evening paper. The
paper at best Is but a purely local al
fair, and this change will in no wise
effect its local value, but rather en-
nance it, and lis greater cheapness in
the matter Of Geographic news, labor,
lights, fuel, etc, will enable the man
ager to put a larger force onto the
cases and thus give more telegraphic
and other news. When the real de-
mand for morning paper comes, the
ter-Ocean will be on deck to FIJI
that demand, but that time is not
just now, as has been amply proven
by the experiences Of the Inter
Ocean.
