TaE BAssETr CASE REVERSED.

BY TELEGRAM from Washington,
d. G., today, We learn that the Su.
preEe Court u the United States
has reversed the decision Of thu
Utah CoaEts in the case Of W. Z.
Bassett, sentenced for po,ygamy.
the case was argued before the
higher court by Hon. F. 5. Richards,
and synopsisof his able argumen,
was published short time ago in
the DEsEREr NEWS. We expressed
the opinion at the time that the
Court you'd reverse the decision.
for the points presented by Mr..
Richards were 50 clear and forcible
and mis- argument. Was 50 legal and
logical IS 10 carry conviction with
them.
The case turned on confidential
communications alleged to have
been made by MIR. Bassett TO his
then legal wife aud the admissible
ity Of her testimony. The courts
below admitted this as evidence,
and conviction followed based
chiefly if not entirely upon this tes-
;imony. This Was error, AID hence
forth such testimony cannot be ad-
mitted in trials under the laws of
Congress against polygamy and
kindred odenses. Thus law and
justice once more prevail over ex-
IRENE judicial rulings in Utah.

One thing It IL certain can b
done. That Is, every inHssrcs con.

ought to be vigorously excluded

"Mormonism' must not be per.

II religion Is forbidden In the
schools, irreligion must also be for.

ing a church or q creed to influence
the teachings impaired In The
school.
1t is bad enough to have God and
morality excluded from public
Juvenile instruction. Infiielity
and hostility to the religious views
Of parents must not be tolerated in |
the schooi-room. And no person Is |
fit 10 act as q public teacher. to be |
paid out Of the public funds, who |
INDUCES in attacks upon religion or |
any form Of it.
We are numbered among those
who believe il would be better for
the children Of the Latter-day
Saints to be educated in their faith
from their earliest childhood. But
We would not have the children of
members Of other churches COM
PEELED to receive tuition in the tenets
Of our faith. Therefore il circum-
stances were such that each
denomination could provide schol-
astic training for its own
Juveniles, We believe 1t would
De the better plan for all. But
lnder the system Low In force this
would not be practicable. There
ore the small children should attend
he district schools, and be drafted
when prepared into the higher
n Church schools, and religious in
should be provided for
hem while in the district schools,
" other means, SO that they may
lot grow up In ignorance of the
'asic principles Of spiritual eiuca-
ion.
Under. the common school system,
however, we maintain that faith in /,
)sIty and an understanding of 4
aoral PRINCIPLES, apart from all Sec
arian notions and denominational I
'rms, may and ought to form 8 part {
the every day tuition Of the chill
rem in the public schools, for
lille no church would suffer from !
, society would be benefited in the {
lvral and spiritual development !
lat would be the natural conse- :

ASSOCIATED PRESS RUBBISH.

The Associated Press people appear
to think these ''chestnuts" very
palatable to the public, while IN fact
they have become so commoa that
they might be stereotyped,i If it were
worth while and reading people
cared for the speculative and I'M
reliable stuff.
The staple idea now is that the
"Mormons" are still .'f,ishing into
polygamy," that it Is as rampant
as ever. :" and thst the .<deciaraticn'

respect fol the miserable liars VINO
get their names put into print
in this way, nor will We foster
their desire for notoriety by

working for "Liberai'' end, and
their msauness and pendacity is
well understood here. Abroad they
willdeceive but few, and We do
not believe they will effect the pur-
pose designed, that is the disfran-
chisement Of the minority of Utah's
citizens, that the majority may gain

seni over the wires the falsehoods
Of these unimportant persons, and
that they would BIS doing much
