Acts Of Congress Fail to Restrain the Prac-
tice of Plurality OF Wives.
SALT LAKE CITY, Utah, Sept 19-The
Utah Commission has forwarded to the
Secretary of the Interior a lengthy re-
port OF its operations and proceedings
for the year ended September 1, 1890
The principal feature of. the report is
the recommendation of further legisla-
ton in support of the existing laws
After reviewing the elections held in
Utah since their last report the Com
missioners say: ''During the year there
has been frequent expressions of the
hope that the Church would in some au-
thoritative and explicit manner declare
in favor of the abandonment of polyg-
amy or plural marriage as one of the
saving doctrines or teachings of the
Church, but no such declaration has
been made. There is little use for
doubling, SO complete is the control of
the Church over its people that if such
declaration were made by those in
authority it would be accepted and fol-
lowed by large majority of the mem
bers of the so-called Mormon Church,
and settlement of the much discussed
Mormon question would soon be
reached. On the contrary. in all the
teachings in the tabernacle and the
Church organs every effort of the Gov
eminent to suppress this crime is still
denominated as persecution, and those
charged with ferreting out and prose-
cutting the guilty are denominated as
prosecutors of the saints
In conclusion the Commission repeats
what it said in its last report-that 'in
this matter the Government and the
Congress should take no backward or
even wavering step, but should con tinue
the active and vigorous enforcement of
the laws and the improvement of them
by the amendment of such as would
make them more effective, and by en-
acting such other laws as experience
may show to be wise and efficacious to
accom- plish the desired end"

Gross Outrages

Upon the stomach and bowels are perpe-
trated by multitudes of injudicious people
who, upon experiencing the annoyance OF
constipation in slight degree. infiltrate
their bowels with drenching evacuants
which enfeeble the intestinal membrane to
a serious extent, sometimes, even, superin-
ducing dysentery or piles Hostetter's
Stomach Bitters is the true succedaneum
for these nostrurns, since it is at once in
vigorating, gent, and effectual. 1t also
banishes dyspepsia, malarial complaints,
rheumatism and kidney troubles.

justified their determination to no longer
be satisfied with comparisons of the ad-
vantages they now enjoyed with the
privileges enjoyed by their sires, but to
insist upon their full share with their

which they contributed so much. He
warned them, however, not to
expect impossible results from
legislative action and advised such
conservatism in the form u

where the majority always ruled. He
cautioned the farmer, while firmly
maintaining his own rights. to respect
those of all other classes of workers

REVISING THE CREED.
A Wide Divergence OF Opinion Among
the Committee.

The committee in the revision Of the confess
sion of faith appointed by the last general as
sembly of the Presbyterian Church began its
work yesterday at PIttsburg. The entire creed
was gone over and individual opinions were
expressed ON tho various paragraphs. The
discussions indicate wide difference of opin-
ion on many points.
The third article, which deals with fore ordi-
nation and predestnation, was discu ssed at
length, and was the first one marked for re-
vision. The members were unanimous in the
belief that the wording of the first section
should be changed 30 that it shall not be con-
Trajectory, in that God is declared not to be
the author of sin and at the same time declar-
ing that he ordains sin. The portion referring
to infant salvation was considered. The Opin-
ion seemed to prevail that the word "elcct"
should be stricken out, So that the confession
would make clear that all infants would be
saved.
A number Of the committeeman seemed to
think that the paragraph referring to the pope
OF Rome as that anti Christ that man of sin
and son Of perdition that e1alteth himself in
the church against Christ and all that is called
God" should be revised to a less aggressive
style.
1t has not yet been determined how the sec
tions which have been marked for revision
shall be considered. Tho plan Of appointing
subcommittees has been strongly recon-
mended, so as to divide the work as much as
possible.
