The Tribune advised the registrars that they
had a perfect right to substitute the oath pre-
pared by the committee for the oath prepared
by the commission Tribune, Nay IL, 1887.
Speaking of the Edmunds oath, Mr.
GOODWIN attempted to show that:
The oath stated in plain English requires
them to say that they reject the Mormon
dogma; that they are, in effect, apostates.-
Tribune, February 26 1887.
The Ne1DS must be prepared to see the Nor
mons excluded from tn, polls either By their
own action in refusing to take tae Data or by
the action of the gstration officers in refusing
to permit them to take it.-Tri5uns, MUch 2,

The point is, can Mormons swear that they
will not aid, abet, teach, or counsel violation
of the law? s. but IL is test and q reli-

Mr. GooDwIN has twice failed to secure
the disfranchisement of his opponents.
The Ne,os says thai the hated decision does
not destroy the Mormon church, which we con-
cede We admit, further, that it has not in
any perceptible degree diminished its vileness,
Righteousness and proneness to- all forms OF de

pricked the conscience of this people in any
way to cause them to realize their baseness and
need of new birth; and until they see the

hard case to deal with people so besotted in

stinacy which is distinctive of the criminal
classes tie world over.-Trt5uas, Oct. 90. 1888.
The creed of the Saints is that while they
have celestial kingdom, which pertains to the
life to come they likewise have kingdom Of
Con on earth, which is purely temporal af-

WHAT RE ONCE DEMANDED.
| The Hebrews made the most determined
efforts. They were conquered thirteen times,
and yet so soon as they recuperated a little they
made fresh struggle, under the theory that
they were divinely guarded; that few of them
with GOD made majority, and that 1t was
their mission to persevere until they estab-
lished the rule of the earth, with their capital
! in their holy city. = But they have
| learned the lesson that while their faith is
sacred to them. that while tIey have no idea OF
relinquishing one tenet of it, their plain, duty is
to obey the laws of whatever country they may
be- in. The Gentiles do not care what
the Saints worship or what hopes they nurse
| for this world or the world to come but there
must be basis from which all must work, and
that basis is the law.-Tri6HBs, March 81, 1889
Is it not time for the chiefs of the organiza
| ton to determine upon one of two course s.
either to leave the United States or to place
themselves frank ald fairly within the just
laws of the republic? Their property
is in jeopardy, their people by hundreds are in
prison or in hiding And what IS the re
suit? Hunted, imprisoned, impoverished, their
property in jeopardy, and the lives of the people
made miserable by unrest and despair.
Is it not time to say to your people: Polygamy
has fulfilled its mission; it will no longer be an
ordinance of our faith, and the church has with
drawn its former political rule over the people
The Gentiles OF Utah are anxious to
meet you half way; anxious to join with your
people to help build up a glorified state

1.-The enemies OF Mormonism How would
it sound to ear some one talking about ''tht
enemies of house-breakers, or house burners.
The differences which the great masses of the
people of the United States have with Mormon
ism are confined strictly to Mormon defiance
of laws which have been held as essential t.
civilization for hundreds Of years. Tribune

WHAT HE NOW PRETENDs Is NECESSARY.
We are willing to take the declaration of thu
p9Isident of the church that there will be n;
more polygamous marriages. We are willing
to assume that it is true, while we do not be
lieve it. That is the great vice of Mormonism
but it's theocracy is it's greatest crime
Tribune, oct, 27, 1890.
Before the Mormon politicians can establish
that Mormonism is not an al s lute theocracy
they must deny the faith + They mus
blot out the written and published and actet
record The files OF all Mormon news
papers and periodicals must be called in
They must then lie out of existence the history
