THE UTAH COMMISSIONS REPORT.
Tho Mormon Vote Decreasing-Polygam
SttI Taught and Practieed.

WASHINGTON, Sept. 27.-The annual report
OF the Utah commission has been received by
Secy- Noble. This commission, under authority
OF congress, has general supervision OF
all elections in the territory, and
is especially intrusted with the enforcement
of the "Edmunds-Tuoker act" OF March g. 1887.
The report says that the commission on Nov. 3,
1SSS, appointed n canvassing board
of five reputable citizens, three
of whom were gentiles and two mormons. This
board made returns of the votes cast for dele
gate 10 congress on the 9th of
that month, when it was found that
John I. Cain. mormon, had received 1927
votes K. y. Baskin 3.243 and s. r. Thurman
oil. Cain was, therefore, given certificate OF
election. With but one exception, the report
states, there no charge of fraud in the con-
duct OF the election.
With the purpose as far as possible, of wip-
ing out polygamy. the commission, in appoint
ing registrars OF election, selected, when pos
sible, those belonging to the non-mormOn
element, and always appointing a major
lty OF the judges OF election from
the gentle class In some places,
however. there were no gentiles 10 fill the posi-
tons, and in these cases mOrmOns were ap-
pointed. This course the report states, has
had the effect Of decreasing the mormon vote.
touching the question OF polygamy, the re-
port says: "POlygamy is not, at the present
time, openly practiced except, perhaps,
in few remote and Out-of-the-
way places, but the nOn-mOrmOn element
insists that plural marriages are sOlemnized
clandestinely and practiced secretly in the
largest centers and throughout the territory.
This may or may not be true. The commission
neither aiirms nor denies in the
absence of positive evidence. Extracts are
given from Mormon papers showing that
they still openly advocate polygamy. That
the teachings and practice of polyamy have not
been discontinued, il Is said by some, is
proven, the report says, by the fact that
since Sept. l, 1883. there have been in
the territory of Utah 357 convictions for
bicamy, adultery, fornicatiOn and unlawful
cOhabitation; only two for bigamy. II plural
marriages are now celebrated, says the report
it is done in the secret chambers of the temple.
The commission, in view of the present con-
dition of the territory as regards pOlygamy,
does not think that Utah should be admitted as
q state.
Among other things the commission recon.
mends that the laws with reference TO immi-
grafton OF Chinese and the importa-
ton of contract labor paUpers
and criminals be so amended as to
prevent the immigration OF persons claiming
that their religion iustifies the crime OF pOlyg-
amy and that the constitution should be
amended so as 10 forever prohibit polygamy.

WHAT MR.. TANNER THINKS.
a LETTER TO PRIVATE DALzELL.
The Late Comnnissioner of Pensions Ex-
presses His Mind Freely to His Friend
Says Some Interesting Things
Thinks He is In the soup"

ST. Louis, Sept. Pa special to the
Republic from Caldwell, o., gives the fol-
lowing letter, which explains itself. Its
authenticity is fully vouched for:
DEPARTMENT OF THE INTERIOR
The National tribune., 1889-10-10

These 100 regiments are fair type of the
whole army arrayed in the cause of Freedom
and Union.
These startling figures show only q portion
of the truth. They show only those who
were actually killed or died; they are silent
as TO the much greater number who were
manned, disabled and broke down, 40 that
they soon died, or dragged through wretch
cd, pain-cursed lives.
We challenge the maligners of the veter-
ans to show in the whole history of the
world, since men began TO fight in great
armies, 100 regiments or other organizations
in any land which did as much fighting and
suffered such appalling losses as the ones
we have named. The losses of famous Eu-
ropean regiments sink into insignifcanee in
comparison. Yet, did space permit, we
could give them names of hundreds more of
our regiments which fought "a determinedly
and lost as heavily as those enumerated.
In the face of such showing as this, how
infinitely mean and malignant seems the
slangwhanging of the foreign hirelings who
fill the columns of the soldier-hating papers
with venom.
The National tribune., 1889-10-10
HEROES ALL.

Again we reply to the mercenary editors
who are earning their subsidies by industri-
Gus Islander of the veterans, that instead Of
the mass of Union soldiers being shirks,"
bounty "deadbeats," ETC., the
figures will show incontestibly that there
was an immensely smaller proportion of
these unworthy men in the Union armies
than in any other that ever went to war.
The reason was that to greater extent
than was ever before known the armies were
made up of the best blood and character Of
the country.
Again, the figures will show equally in
contestibly that never in the history Of the
world did the same number of men do as much
ssnguinary fighting and suffer such appall-
ing losses. Take, for illustration, the losses
of 100 regiments, which have been carefully
compiled from the official reports by Col.
Fox in his "Regimentai Losses"

he has conhded his secret have been unusn-

are liable to disbarment and Imprisonment.
If they are not successful they cannot re-
ceive q cent. For this small fee of $25
less than the average fee of lawyer
in minor civil cases before Justice Of the
Peace or Common Pleas Judge-the pension
attorney is compelled TO work from one to
q years, with an average of five years, con-
duct voluminous correspondence, sift evil
dence, hunt up witnesses, and constantly
push the case through one after another Of
the technical mazes ofprocedure. 1t involves
an amount of work for which the average
attorney would demand and receive ut least
five times the fee allowed the pension at
torney. For cases in which the attorney is
successful-averaging almost one-half-
he receives absolutely nothing. Theaverage
amount collected in those in which he is sue
cessfnl isabout 81 500, and for this he receives
but $25 for an average of five years work
and attention. Where can any man get a
competent attorney, to render him such serv-
ice in civil case for such feeP
The persistent and malignant attacks upon
pension attorneys are part and parcel of the
organized campaign against the veterans
themselves. Very much can be gained by
breaking down the attorneys, and depriving
the veterans Of proper assistance in present.
ing and prosecuting their claims. tits hard
enough, with all the aic of skill and expert
enced attorneys, to get claim through. As
wehaverepeatedlys shown more than halfthe
claims allowed last year had been pending
for five years or more, and from that up to
81 years When would these have been
gotten through without the assistance of
the attorneys?
The best reason that the papers above
mentioned can have for hating any man is
that he is helpful TO soldiers. This is suffi-
cient to make sure that he will be target
for their virulent ISLANDERS, and that they will
exercise a devilish activity in inventing and
publishing calumnies upon him. The pen
sion attorneys are decorated with this abuse
in exact proportion TO their efficiency in aid
ing the soldiers TO secure their rights.

THE STORY or A caSsoyEEn.

We begin this week one of the very best
narratives of the war that ever appeared in
print anywhere "The Story Of Cannon
eer" is written by one of the ablest literary
men in the Nation, and tells of his own ex-
periences as member of fighting battery
which made glorious record. He was q
splendid soldier himself, a typical volunteer;
was with his guns every time they went
into action, and helped fight them with
desperate resolution until victory was won
The style, as will be seen by the opening
chapter, Ia admirable, and we confidently
predict that il will be one Of the most
wildly interesting variations that our read
ers ever saw. The interest increases with
every chapter, and the account Of the
writer's experiences Mt Gettysburg, which
was his first battle, has no superior in any
literature.

MALIGNISG PENSION ATTORNEYS.


When you have bad case, an old lawyer
advised young one inst about 70 enter the
practice, abuse the attorney ON the other
side. The worse your case the stronger
make your abuse"
These are the tactics Of the soIdier-hating
papers They rely upon malignant abuse of
the pension attorneys as a means Of defeat
ing the claims Of the veterans. According
TO them a man who undertakes the prosecu-
ton Of soldiers claim against the Govern
ment must almost necessarily be a fragrant
offender, who should be held up 10 public
condemnation. Except the ISLANDERS against
the soldiers themselves, there are no more
wanton calumnies than those published
against the pension attorneys by such papers
as the st. Louis Republic, the New York
Times, the New York Ercniag Post the
Philadelphia Times, the Chicago Herald, and
the less prominent journals of that unsayory
ilk
While there are dishonest pension attor-
neyE, as there are bad preachers, lawyers,
doctors, cashiers and the like, it is undenia-
bly, true that the great bulk Of them are
honest, upright, capable men, sincerely de-
voted to their clients interests and jealous
in serving them. 1t is equally undeniable
that there are fewer unworthy men found
among them than is the rule in the other
! professions, for the reason that the Interior
Department keeps up most rigid censor
ship of them, and the least dishonesty OF
Uniaithfulness is summarily punished by
disbarment No class of men in the country
are under such constant scrutiny as they
are, and nowhere is the slightest dereliction
more certain TO be found out and severely
punished by loss Of business and possible
imprisonment
The amount Of work that they do for 8
small fee is unequaled In any other branch
of business, legal or otherwise. At most
they can receive but $25 from their clients
and Mis only aOhea they are successful. I
they take a dollar more-as q present. &
