The Mormon Conference now in session
at Salt Lake City furnishes new evidence
of the insincerity of the Mormon claim
that by the Constitution submitted to Con-
gress they have abandoned polygamy and
propose to abide by the laws of the land.
1t has been repeatedly argued that mas
much as the offense of ''plural marriage"
Is by that Constitution ranked as misde-
meanor only, the Mormon devotee could
well suffer the light penalty to be inflicted
and then resume his former relation and
bid defiance to the sentiment and laws of
the country. Since it has become evident
that Congress will not admit Utah to the
dignity of Statehood under such a weak
proviso regarding polygamy, the Mormons
have thrown aside the mask, and at the
Conference referred to openly announce
their adhesion to the detestable practice
and their determination not to abandon it
Their principal speakers declare that in
suffering punishment for the ofense they
are martyrs to holy cause; that, as Elder
Clawson, who was pardoned from prison bv
President Cleveland, put it, in taking sew
eral wives he was obeying the law of God.
He added: "The Lord has revealed to us
the principle of celestial marriage, and by
his help we will honor it and not make
promise to abandon this any more than
any other principle of our faith One is
just as necessary and as good as another,
and ell should be honored alike"
This expression appears to have met the
approval of the Conference and to have
given the delegates great deal of COM
fort. 1t is fortunate that it has been made
and so approved, for it settles the fate of
the Utah bill beyond any possible ques-
ton whatever. The sentiment of the peo-
Pile Of the nation will not now tolerate any
further temporizing with the remaining
relic of bsrbarism. 1t demanded and Sc
cured the destruction of human slavery.
and il will not longer consent to delay in
stamping out polygamy. Congress will
find that it is the will of the people that
by direct and irresistible action on the part
of the Federal Government, the lurking
devil' behind the mask of religion in
Utah shall be dragged from hiding and
destroyal

NEWSPAPER scAvEHGERs.
The San Francisco Can saws:

There is a of impecunious scamps who
hang around newspapers in the hope of selling
70 the manager some lie which they have con-
cocted about well-krown people; and further,
that there are newspapers conducted by persons
so devoid of common Sense, deceney and self
respect that they are willing to publish these
lies on the chance that they may contain q
grain OF truth for the sake of making sensa-
ton and selling few extra papers. very
moderate allowance of reason would convince
both parties, the lie-maker and the publisher,
that ther were engaged in a losing business. Il
does not pay to acquire the reputation Of Nun-
chausen, ana no newspaper which aims al be-
coming business success can afford TO establish
a character for uareliGoility-
Notwithstanding the fact that every
newspaper Of any considerable experience
knows these things to be true, there is a
woefully large number of newspapers that
by their practice court the reputation for
unreliability by reckless publishing. 'sThe
swarm of impecunious scamps" who en-
deayor to sell lies to publishers, are con-
fined to the great cities mainly-as a rule
newspapers in lesser places are but little
affected with this evil Still, there are

ample opportunities and temptations TO
beconns sensational, no matter where the
paper is located. In the absence of a
swarm of scamps" to supply him with
lies, the unconscionable newspaper man
trusts to his imagination and fancy, and
finds no difficulty in making his paper SEN
sational by contortion of the truth, cater
ing to unclean tastes, vulgar suspicion of
all men, contemplate Jealousy, a prying
disposition, watchfulness for discovery of
social carrion, and entertainment of I'M
manly ambition to make himself felt by
brutal assault rather than by qualities
that command respect. Such newspapers
do not aim to establish a character
for reliability that is fartherest from
their thought. They are solicitous for no
toriety, and coatent with that The fact
that the public sooner or later estimates
paper as it does men-at its true value
does not disturb the slanderous and sensa-
tiopal press. 1t lives for the present sat
isfed if fross human anguish it can wiring
dollars and dimes for the hour, and en-
tirely willing to "take the chances" for the
future. However, as nothing exists in
vain, these newspaper scavangers serve the
purpose, by contrast, of making the value
of the decent and sef-respecting press more
clear to decent and self-respecting people.
THAT has happened which was foreseen
by those who cooay viewed the condition
of the locomotive engineers strike. The
strikers have asked the Burlington road to
agree to arbitration of the issues. The
company refuses to consent to anything I'M
til the strike is declared off Arbitration
should have been suggested in the first
place. The rights and equities of the men
would have more of public consideration,
and the men more of sympathy had all eff
forts to arbitrate prior to the strike have
been exhausted.

The above is a liberal estimate for the remain

that there is TN abundance of means to carry

work. 1t will be seen that we have in sight of
us for the ensuing year enough work to employ
our present force and more, without taking into
consideration our quarry work at all And
again 1t seems almost Il crime to sit idly by

through twelve or tifteeD-inch pipe to operate
machinery, juie or otherwise, that will give en-
ployment TO 1900 men as well as to magnifeentiy
light the prison and grounds and when the
plant is established we get cur power without
lurlner cost. Inc nuctuatlng price of fuel and
the certain and incessant expense of maintain
ing costly engines to operate machinery of any
kind would seem to suggest that these matters
are well worth the earnest attention of the
Board and the Legislature. The State has al
ready expended u large sum in permanent i'm
proyements. There are some 800 acres of land
connected with the prison aud some Thousand
of acres more can be obtained at reasonable
rates. If this is TO be maintained as prison,
business judgment would suggest that some
means be adopted not only to give the convicts
employment but also to yield revenue to the
State. With water facilities of our own we
could make the fa m productive enough mate
rally to assist in reducing the keep OF the pris-
oners. The same WAFER that would run our ma
chinery would also be adequate for irrigat:ng
purposes. Respectfully,
