The supreme eourt Of the United States
has rendered an opinion OF vital interest 90
the Mormon church In the suit OF the
Church OF Latter Day Saints against the
United States, on an appeal from the de-
cision Of the supreme court Of Utah tn
favor OF the United States. This court sf-
firms that adjudgment.
The case grows out OF the passage of the
Edmunds anti -polygamy Law blythe Forty
ninth congress-. This Law dissolved the
Mormon church corporation, annulled its
charter, directed the appointment OF re-
oeiver to wind mp its affairs and escheAted
20 the United states all real estate owned
by the church In excess OF $5e,000, which
was not on the date Of the passage of the
act held for purposes OF Worship OF bur-
ial.
When the United States, under the
terms Of this act, began proceedings the
Mormons Immediately entered suit 10 have
the Edmnnda Law declared nnconstitn-
tionai.
La its opinion the court says: The
distinguishing fsatarss or -Mormonism Ii
well known 10 be poiyeamy aud absolute
ecclesiastical confrol OF its church men,
bers. Notwithstanding al efforts 10 snp-
press this barbarous practice the poiygamy
sect perseveryr In it's defiance Of law in
propaaasing and promoting this nefarions
losrine. The question, therefore. is
whether the promotion Of such an unlaw-
ful system h 90 be ailo we'd to continue,
and whether the enormous funds which
have been accumulated shall be welded for
the propagation of an obnoxious pr actice
the promotion OF organized rebellion
against tie laws OF the United States.
The contention that p6iygamy Is part
Of tho hlormon's religious belief In q
sophistical plea. No doubt the thugs of
India imagined their belief In assassina-
tion was religious belief, but that did not
make IL so."
After an elaborate historic review OF the
common law, the court in conclusion says:
Congress had before u contumacious
organization welding by its resources inn
mense power In the territory Of Utah and
employing those resources Ia constantly
attempting to oppose, subvert and thwart
the legislation OF congress and the will of
the government Of the United States.
Under the circumstances, we have no
doubt of the right OF congress to do as
II aid. The. decree Of the lower conrt Is
Inherent.
Justice Bradley delivered the opinion.
Chief Justice Fuller said he and Justices
Fisld and Lamar were constrained % dis
sent from this decision. "The power OF
congress TO iegislate over the tsrri-
tories was not an incident 10 the treaty
making power, and It's power is re-
sirieted direekly 90 that axpsesssd or ina
piled in the constitution. There h no
such power as that involved In the act un-
der consideration. Congress unquestion-
ably has power to suppress polygamy, and
II is immateriaI whether crime h commit
ted in the name of religion, but congress
has not the power TO seize and eonfiscate
the property OF corporations because they
may have been guilty OF crime.
