we honor MT. O'Neill for the manly stand he took against this piece of sham trickery. Morrison the "great" leader of the republican party of Apache county, was the father of the resolution, and we say here to- day, that, if there is a Mormon in all Arizona, that will not compare in all that tends to make a man with this man, Morrison.-we can only express pity for that Mormon. A demagogue, without the ability to conceal it, a political hack, lack ing the ability to obtain office,- this is Morrison. And the repub- lican convention stultifed itself, when 1t permitted this fellow to dictate resolutions for its platform. " Phoenix Gazette.

No More POlygamy Now.

Salt Lake (Utah), September 24 President Woodruff of the Nor mon Church to-day issued a mani festo in which, referring to the state ment in the report 1.-the Utah Com mission that plural marriages have beeen solemenized during the past year and that the leaders of the church have encouraged the contin- uance of polygamy, he enters a sweeping denial that such things have occurred. President Wood ruff further says that inasmuch as the law forbiding polygamy has been pronounced constitutional by the court of last resort, he hereby de- clares his intention to submit to those laws and use his influence with the members of the church to have them do likewise. There is nothing in his teachings to the church or in the teachings of his associates during the time specified which can reasonably be construct ed to incirculate or encourage poly gamy, and when any elder has used the language which appeared to convey such teachings, he has been promptly reproved. The manifesto concludes:
 ''I now publicly declare that my advice to the Latter Day Saints is to refrain from contracting any marriage forbidden by the laws of the land"

O'Xeill and the M0rmOnS.

When the anti-Mormon plank in the late republican covention was reached, Sheriff O'Neill, of Yavapai county, who was one of the bright est men in the convention, attacked 1t with vigor, but was overwhelmed by proxies. Bucky O'Neill belongs to a nationality that can trace the baneful effects of religious persecu- ton, and class legislation upwards of one-hundred years. His race, and 1t is one of the truest on earth, has battled against religious intol- erance and persecution ever since the yoke of Britian bowed the necks of Ireland'S best and bravest men. No wonder Sheriff O'NeiIl stood up and battled against this infamous piece of class legislation, as he knew 1t was not for the pur- pose of prohibiting crime, or in the interest of virtue, but was simply a piece of trick legislation in the in terest of the republican party and

Again, when Barney Matthews was murdered by the Mormons in St. Johns Mormon jury acquitted his murderers on the plea of self defense, notwithstanding that the testimony showed that the man was shot three times in the back, and that he was unarmed when killed.
 The above extract from an edito- rial by the St. Johns editor of the Arizona Republican Is on a par with all the other statements made by this redoubtable individual. con- corning affairs which happen in Apache county. We have no recol- lection of his ever having told tLe truth, in a solitary instance, in his m my contributions to outside news papers, in regard to happenings in this county. He appears to take particular delight in naligning our officials, in turning, twisting and distorting facts, in any and every way that is calculated to hurt the county and iWure it's reputation and standing abroad.
 The Mormons had no more to do with the killing of Barry Matthews, than the writer of this had with the burning of Moscow. There was never a clearer ease of self-defense established before any court in the world. It was not only proven that Matthews fired the first shot, but that he had threatened the life of his adversary on several occasions

Apache County Republicans are up in arms against the Mormon evi and the mal-administration of theil county affairs. They will make { strong fight at the election this fall Republican.
 Four years ago when the manage ment of affairs in Apache county passed into the hands of the Dem ocratic party, county warrants were worth fifty cents on the dollar, and no one cared to buy even at that price. To-day they are worth 95 cents, and no one cares to sell even at this figure. One year more of Democratic rule, and they will be worth 100 cents on the dollar. In the meantime taxation has been re- duced from 8 to 29 cents, and will be reduced still lower if the party is kept in power ln the county.
 Four years ago when the govern ment passed into the hands of the Democratic party lawlessness was rampant throughout the county. It was next to impossible to con vict a man Ut any crime, Crimi- nals were protected and shielded by the officials. Prison doors were thrown open and the most desper- ate characters were permitted to walk forth free men. There was no protection for property and very little for life. To-day there is not q more peaceable, orderly, quiet and law abiding community in tine Ter ritory. Financially there is not a county in better condition, and it has all been brought abont under the "mal-administration" of Demo- cratic officials.

THE Republican continues to pub fish the villainous scribblings of it's St. Johns editor in regard to the Mormons of this county, charging them with all manner of crimes, none of which are true. We have this proposition to make the Apache county editor of that paper: He may select any Mormon in Apache county, no matter how black and infamous his character may be and publish his record, and the HERALD will print the record of the writer for the Republican, both as an off, cial and a citizen, and if the repu- tation of the Mormon does not come out of the contest as white as the driven snow, in comparison, we arc ready to acknowledge that we have no idea of what constitutes morality, honesty, integrity and manliness. We dare him to accept the challenge and open the ball.

and in different places. There were only two Mormons on the jury the balance of the jury being Gentiles composed of Americans and Mexi- cans, and the case was so clear that the jury reached a verdict in about fifteen minutes. The jury in this case represented all classes and both political parties. The records of the court will bear us out in these assertions.
 The author of the above para graph has, moreover, changed his base to suit the political exigencies of the moment. When this unfor- tunate affair first happened, he charged the offense to what he term ed the ''St. Johns ring" and stout ly maintained that they hired Mat thews' assassination. The politi- cal situation has somewhat changed and now he charges the Mormons
 with the crime. Two years hence he will probably charge some one else with it.

Mark Smith,


 Congress from Arizona, is man of the people, for the people. Now and then, opposition papers have pretended 10 want knowledge as to what he has has done for Arizona and her people, when they knew that, as a sentinel on the watch tower at Washington, he had per formed good service.
 As most of the opposition papers of Arizona are written up by per sons who were but recently import ed, it may be that they are igno- rant of the work done by our dele gate.
 The question is not-What has he done? but, What has he not done?
 We are not. today, blessed with very good memory, still the follow ing praiseworthy acts of Mir. Smith will be recollected by a great many Arizonians of both parties.
 A majority of Arizonians did not want Geronimo removed to Fort Sill, and Delegate Smith pre- vailed upon Government to keep the old rascal in the south.
 Prevented Wolfey's bill to create himself grand executioner of every officer in Arizona.
 Secured appropriation for agri- cultural experimental station in Arizona.
 Secured appropriation for survey of Colorado river, on which to base appropriation for improvement of it's navigation.
 Passed through Congress bill for a North and South railroad, which was vetoed by the President simply because it modified the Ben Harrison act.
 Secured a favorable report from the committees of both houses for the creation of a 4th Judicial Dis trict and will pass the bill as soon as recognition can be obtained.
 Passed through the House a bill now OF the table of the Senate for action-ccmpelling the United States to pay all expenses arising from the prosecution of any reser- vation Indian in Arizona, thus re- lieving the Territory ofza vast e'ebt
 Defeated in committee bill to- force all persons grazing or other wise using the public domain to pay a certain annual renta! there for to the United States,
 Did as much as any one now in Congress to prevent the utter re- peal of the Desert Land Act.
 Did fully as much as any one man toward the repeal of the act of October ?, 1888, which under construction of the Interior De- partment resulted in a withdra awal of all desert lands from entry.
 Had the Government bear the loss of the money illegally paid to Fred W. Smith, whose dedication otherwise would have been borne by the settler.
 Prevented the passage of any Land Court bill that did not thor oughly protect the innocent settler from the worry, harrassment and | expense of a law suit.
 He has answered every business letter received by him and has done $10,OO0 worth of work Tn the vari- ous departments for his constitu- ents and never charged and always refused to accept one cent for his services.
 He has been as regular in his at tendance in the House as any mem Der of it.-Prescott Courier.
