ON Monday the Mormon conference at
Salt Lake City officially repudiated
polygamy as tenet of that church.
Since the passage of the Edmunds bill
such measure has been expected as one
of necessity and expediency. This pub
lie avowal, however, of the fallibility OF
so-called divine revelation will be apt to
affect the religious as well as the politi-
cal conditions IN Utah. The tithing as
well as sealing has been done by
divine revelation, and it would be
natural outcome should there arise a
respectable opposition to the present
method in use for securing the immense
revenue accruing through it. In fact,
the passage of this act is insignificant,
and suggest that the power OF Mormon
ism is falling away, and it would seem
to be precursor of departing glory.

Custom receipts at the sub-treasury now
reported to be about normal. Last week they
reasonably be expected, which will cause
ceipts to be as much below normal for the next
few months, as they have been above normal
for the past few months. Reaction is not yet
apparent, for the reason that many vessels are
now coming in which were to have arrived be-
fore October 6, in order that the goods carried
by them might escape the new duties.
