No PROHIBITION.
The Convention last Monday
went into committee of the whole
on the Prohibition question having
under consideration the memorial
presented by the W. G. T. U. of
Idaho, a motion to adopt the same
was lost, and the following substi-
tute was adopted by vote of 45 to
4, and ordered a part of the consti-
tuition:
Tie first concern of all good gov
eminent is the virtue and sobriety
of the people and the purity of the
home. The Legislature should
further all wise and well-directed
efforts for the promotion of temper
ance and morality.
Considerable parliamentary trick
cry was INDUCED in in disposing of
the subject much to the discomfic-
ture of Idaho's boss brewer, who
booming lost in the various motions
to table, reconsider, ETC., voted in
favor of prohibition as often as he
did against it. He finally went on
record as being against the substi-
tute which practically leaves him
as being in favor of the prohibition
memorial.
A DIVERSION.
After the roll call Thursday Geo.
Anislie, Boise comfy, arose to a
question of privilege and sent to the
Secretary's desk copy of the Salt
Lake Tribune which contained a
dispatch and an editorial rejecting
upon him and the Democratic mem
bers of the Convention. The sub
stance of the dispatch and COM
ments were to the effect that one
Bishop Hoge, a Mormon from Bear
Lake county, was a constant ad-
wiser of the Democratic caucus and
that Anislie was his tool. Several
members of the Convention ex-
pressed themselves on the subject
of the Tribune's malicious misrep-
reservations in no uncertain tones
and its correspondent received q
flashing second only to that received
by Salt Lake Herald correspon-
dent in the last Legislature. Mr..
Mcconnell, a Republican mem
Der from Latah County, offered a
resolution calling upon the Tribune
to retract its SANDER, or its cores
pendent be refused the further
privileges of the floor. This reso-
luton was amended by Mr.. Cavan-
augh, a Democratic member from
Elmore, SO that the expelling clause
be stricken out. He did not want
to follow the precedent laid down
by the lower house of the last leg
islature. The amended resolution
passed unanimously and the great
organ of truth" and Justice" was
placed on the rack.
THE MORMON QUESTION.
At this writing it would seem
that the Mormon question" had
ceased to be a question. The only
question which now arises in this
connection is as to how far the con-
stitution can 60 and still be ac-
to Congress. However
there are majority and minority re-
ports on the subject. The reports
differ in that the majority report
gives unlimited power to the Legis-
lature. The minority reports pro-
vides that the right of suffrage
shall be withheld from any person
who is bigamist Or polygamist, or
who is living in unlawful cohabita-
