SALT LAKE CRY, Nov. 19.-[Special Il
the Miner.1-It a supposed to-day tina,
the Mormon case, now being held befor,
the court, would be concluded; but th.
Mormons, having put on the stand a wit
ness whose testimony is very important, ii
looks now as though it would not be con.
\ cl ded for several days.
The witness is zone other than the cele.
brated Charles W. Penross, who has been
editor in chief Of the Desert Evening News,
the official organ OF the Mormon church,
for the past ten years. He is one Of the
%shrewdest wire-pullers in the church, and
has for years prepared all the worst doc.
trines OF Mormonism, and used his posi-.
ton as editor to urge his followers to be
true to all the principles OF the faith-po.
lygamy included. He was a p~olygamist up
to March Q Of last year, when he received
amnesty for the ~offense, although there
was at that time an Indictment pending,
and notwithstan ding the fact that he had
been a fugitive from Justice for several
years.
On direct examination to-day he at
tempted to explin away certain doctrines
in sermons by Brigham Young and other
leaders of the church, which have been in.
PRODUCED by the Gentle attorney in this
case. These sermons related to blood at.
tenement. The necessity for implicitly
obeying the priests in all things, and the
that this was the home of God.
He further testified that the doctrines OF the
church were contained in the book entitled
Doctrines and Covenants" and that this
book contained all the revelations given by
sod to Joseph 81. Smith and other church
prophets had been formerly passed by a
Tote OF the Mormon people nine years ago,
the true standard OF the faith.
On cross-examination he was asked how
many wives he had and he refused to ans.
yer on the grounds that he had received a |
'eneral amesty for his polygamous prac.
ices. ..
Counsel on both sides arguedjthe ques.
for almost two hours, and finally the
our decided that he must answer the
The court held that his answer
ould not eliminate him as he had received
mnesty. and his answer m 'ght tend to af-
ct his credibility, and as a witness he
as again asked the same question and re.
lsed point blank to answer, giving no rea-

The counsel then asked that the witness

This question was argued till 5 O'Clock,
nd the witness then asked that he be given
10 O'Clock tomorrow morning to con.
the matter, and the judge granted the
quest. .,..
His cross examination will be as severe ,
} the witnes ses in Utah court has been
to, for he has ~for!years welded a
vindictive and caustic pen against
cry United States official who has at. {
mpted to enforce the awe in Utah.
He will be cross examined by two ex.

THE SITUATION.

ZW44neM &arIGFM- -
The political situation as it pertain
to the leeislature which has been CALLED
to meet 81 Hslsna on Saturday
remains practically unchanged, and the
same is true respecting the various
catch-as-catch-can contests in this
county. That the machinery Of local
governmental this county Is badly out
of gear, and that the meeting Of the leg
islature will be attended with grave
endorsements are matters be-
yond doubt. and they are, there
fore, Of most serious public concern.
1t has been repeatedly and conclusively
shown that the men who have brought
about this disgraceful and disastrous
condition were guilty Of intimidation,
bribery and perjury, and that these sew
eral violations against the laws Of God
and man and, therefore, against the pub
Lie peace and welfare, were necessary In
order to present a strong case. THE
MINER admits that the conspirators did
present q strong case, but what men could
not have done 50 If willing to use meth
DDS Of intimidation, bribery and perjury
And while these methods have been
exposed through a court of law
and a Democratic press and as a result
Republican party as a party is not in
sympathy with them, still the situation
grave, and that il does is due
entirely to the sanction which the meth
IDS referred to have received at the
lands Of a county and state ~canvassing
'oard. Jack and Hall were the first to
ign Convict Demands letter of recon-
aendation and to approve officially Of
and perjury IS methods entitled
0 the recognition and support Of their ,
arty, and as sufficient to justify them
a violating the law, justice and the ex-
ress will Of The people, all of which .
hey had sworn to observe. This outrage
'as promptly rebuked by the district .
'urt and it was supposed that when
le matter reached the canvassing board
; last resort, that the high official and :
'cial standing of its members would
lsure an intelligent and bipartisan re-
'ect for the law and the facts, and that !.
10 deliberation therefore would result !,
the complete triumph of the
ght and the complete dethrone-
emit Of the wrong. But how

who are familiar with the national

THE PRESIDENTS MESSAGE.

-
President Harrison is very much afraid
that some one might anticipate the thun-
der part Of his message to congress, and
therefore he will not entrust 1t to the
government printing Office, but will re-
strict the mechanical part Of its prepar-
alton to the white house st~enographer
and type writer, who happens to be a
lady. This may reverse the popular
ruling that a woman cannot keep a So
cret. and If 1t should, it may accomplish
more than the suggestions without num-
Der which the message will doubtless
contain. The president belongs to a class
who know it all, and it is, therefore,
reasonable to suppose that his message
will be lengthy-that he will attempt to
tell it all, and that the personal ~pronoun
will distinguish it. While President
Harrison is distinguished for his weak
nesses, still he is at the head of this
great nation, and for this reason his
message is entitled to and will receive /,
the thoughtful consideration of the en-
tire world. In reality, it will be the
the message Of his party-tbe views Of
his party upon the great public ques-
which demand prompt and intelI-
yent disposition. Many of these cues h
ions the Republican party can no longer q
.hirk, dodge or meet in the manner II
Which has characterized it in the past. q
he voice Of Iowa, Ohio. New York, Mass RI
chusetts, New Jersey, and the other "
that voted on the first Tuesday of N
month, cannotbe disregardsd. These n,
'ates have spoken against Republican W
m In language not to be misunder- In
God. That the best craftsmanship of the 70
'rty will be invoked to bring back the sv
bellious states within the fold there can "a
no doubt, but the party Of broken prom "a,
ss and false theories has completely or,
Ut the confidence Of the nation and it vi,

atic party shall continue to deserve II. Is
