.B7AH'S GOVERNOR
Has Something to Say of the
Mormon Manifesto.
Does Not Think 1t Was Issued
in Good Faith.

Impossible at Present to Give Definite
Opinion of the Purpose or Effect of the
Recent Proclamation - Semi Annual
Conference OF the Mormon Church to BE
Held shortly.
SALT LAKE, Sept. 20. - Governor
Thomas in an interview, regarding the
recent manifesto of President Wilford
woodruff, of the Mormon church. dis
countenancing plural marriage, said;
ut is impossible now to give a deli
mite Of inion Of the purpose or effect Of
this proclamation. If it is put forward
and hereafter observed in good faith, it
is an important step. and will do much
to remove one Of the political objections
to MormOnism. The general sentiment
is n hope that it is made in good faith
Many things, however, lead to doubt
among which may be named the pres
ent political situation. the fact chat it
does not come in the usual channel and
its studious and indefinite language.
The last general decree on the subject
in 1885 came from the general confer
cnce ratified by the stakes, and assert
ed that the Mormons could not yield to
doctrine of plural marriage to legisla-
lures or judicial decisions
The whole proclamation is based on
the cause that because certain laws
have been passed and decided constitu-
tional, therefore submission is advised
Attention has been called to the fact
that it only advises submission, and for
many yeas the Mormons have sub
mitted, but refused to even promise TO
obey. That there is no Injunction to
obey the laws that it is twelve years

tiDnality was AIDE, that nothing is said

Referring to the last clause of the pro

rate preparations for the ceremony had
been made.
The clothes worn by the boy Mt the
time of his decease were stuffed. his
shoes and hat placed in the proper posi-
tion, and the effigy was hung by the
same rope to the same tree. In the pres
ence of this spectacle the funeral Ger
monies were conducted. Over the grave
of the lad, q short distance off, n little
house was built. and on this was
stretched a canvas. upon which, in large
letters, was printed a conservation with
a sister just prior to his death The
funeral services were continued three
days, and the crowd present is said 70
have been the largest ever convened in
the country. Juit at the close Of the
third days services an affray occurred in
which Andy Palmer was shot ard killed
