From Tuesdays Daily.

SALT LAKE. Utah, Nov. Isl 2pecial to
the Miner. r.l-Mormonism is still on trial
here. The Mormons occupied the day with
their witnesses, who suffered severely on
cross-examination.
DR.. Richards testified he belonged to the
Melchizedek priesthood Of the Mormon
church. While admitting that he cove
nanted in the endowment house to avenge
the blood Of the prophets Joseph and
Hiram Smith, he declined to state what
the penalties for violation OF those cove
naDts were. The witness then made the
startling admission that he understood
blood atonement to be doctrine OF the
Mormon church. He said II man aposta-
tized it was part OF their belief that the
only way he could get salvation for that
sin was by offering himself up to be killed.
1t was taught that such killing would be
perfectly lawful and that it would not be
looked upon as murder. When asked il he
knew who the church executloner was he
replied he did not. He supposed If man

the president OF the church and the latter
would appoint the executioner.
The next witness was T. L. Harrison
an apostate. He was ON the stand one
hour and half. He denied that any oath
antagonistic to the government was taken
in the endowment house. On cross.exami-
nation he stated he was excommunieated
twenty years ago because he opposed that
doctrine OF the church which compels i'm.
plict obedience to the priesthood in all
things, temporal as well as spiritual. He
advocated the opening Of the mines, and
Brigham Young was opposed to this, be-
cause he feared it meant Gentle immigra.
ton and an ultimate breaking down Of
his POLITICAL power. He said there had
always existed during his connection with
the church a hostile feelirg against the gov
ernment.
The taking of testimony in the case will be
concluded tomorrow, and then the counsel
will make their arguments,

crippled for want of quorum. Sickness.
important private business and other things
that cannot be anticipated will inevitably
keep some members away. Absence OF
Democrats does not help the Republicans
out a particle. One Democrat can block the
business of the House whenever the Repub-
licans have less than 166 members present
just as effectually as 161.
1t will be seen, therefore. that the prospect
of the enactment of much legislation of po-
litical character is very poor. A tariff meas
ure ought to be passed but even If the Re-
publicans could all agree about one it is very
doubtful if it could be got through against
the filibusteriDg tactics Of the Democrats. So

would excite fercer opposition on the part of

IL VIII De seen that in a full House the
Republicans have eight majority over the
Democrats. The true test of the Republican
strength is not, however, the excess of Re-
puoiicaas over Democrats, but the excess of
Republicans over the number of members
necessary to constitute majority, for the
constitution Of the United States practically
toroids the transaction of business unless a
quorum is present. The Constitution also
oennes quorum as a majority 1t follows
therefore that call of the House must show
majority OF the whole House present and
voting or else business cannot legally be
transacted. A majority Of 800 is 166: there.
fore at least 166 members must he nresent
and vote to enable the House to do business
No change OF rules can alter this, nothing
but change of the Constitution of the
United States. 1t follows, therefore, that

ing. and no rule can prevent their doing so
when they wish, the Republicans must have
at least 166 Of their own members present In

Henry Russell's compositions were great

Johns most effective solos was oh, the
Fatherhood of God and the Brotherhood of
Mani Other pieces were My Angel Name

solo part. The great beauty of their singing
was the distinctness of their, enunciation,
every, word on the softest note being plainly
neard. Then their voices ali blended beauti
fully, dovetailing together. Sometimes, you
know. a quartet will be composed of good in
