A LEGISLATIVE AnsuRDIrY.

II appears that the British ParlIa-
ment Ia again struggling with that
nntiquated piece Of legislative absur.
dity, the law TO prevent marriage with
deceased wifc's sister. A. bill to
abolish the provision has MANY times
been presented, but has never prevailed.
IL has now passed IL second reading
In the House Of Commons. Itmay go
through the lower House, but will
again, no doubt, meet with n storm Of
opposition In the House OF Lords. II
will be- fought 10y tho Lords spiritual,
II approved by most Of tho Loads tenn
poral.
The Church Of England Bishops
who by right Of ecclesiastical office
have seats In the House Of Peer, have
boon very hostile 10 the measure re-.
moving the restriction upon marriage,
which none but tho religious author
lilies appear to oppose, and these b,se
their arguments upon scrlp,unl In.
hlbltion which, even II II were not oh.

the Mosaic code that has been super.

Of Latter.day Saints will be found In

gress OF this new thing under the
American sun--the attempted robbery
ofa Church because II Il unodhodox.
The history Of the case IL very clear

will have no dliiiculty In arriving nj
AN understanding Of the status Of this
litigation II the report Is carefully read.
We do not care 10 comment upon
moro than two or three points In the
statement.
II Il evident that the law and the
attack upon the Perpetual Emigration
Fund have been futile, aud that the
legislation was based upon total mis-.
understanding Of the facts, and false
representations M 10 the Fund and IL
asscts. The whole proceedings were
simply farce.
The litigation stlll necessary In order
10 obtain permanent possession Of the
property u tho Church Is Of no little
magnitude. II will take considerable
time and much Wrestling Of the law In
order to effect the purpose Ia view.
The fact that through the appoint.

that II the Receiver cannot proceed to
take possession Of other property that

crty, II IL useless TO continue such cx-
pcnslvo appcndages rs the Receiver

celvcr's course AMI accounts we have
nothing to say. Tho public are not

"fALsE IN EVERY PARTICULAR

A. n specimen OF the method by
Which the Tribune Obtains material for
the Islander OF "Alormons" WIN tome
under Ia displcasure, We direct attcn.
tlon 10 story which appeared In its
columns on the 10th inst, purporling
10 le an account OF an occurrence Ia
Payson. The roader would naturally
come 10 the conclusion that the writer
was describing something he had seen
and heard.
II gave particulars OF an alleged
quarrel between the outgoing Mayor Of
paysOn and new candidate for that
onlco. The retiring officer was said TO
have exposed the candidate In caucus,
and TO have heapcd upon his
head the most approbrious cpl
thcts, accusing him OF theft, false.
hood, treaohcry and robbery aud sub.
stantiating tho charges, 10 which the
accused could, offer no reply.
sNot only did this sensational report
appear In the Tribune, but II was sent
over the wires east, and we commented
upon the dispatch on Thursday even.
ing, rs II appeared In the Denver Aeps
undor startling headlines, about n
"Alormon Split" etc.
Itnow appears from communication
to the Tribune that the whole story was
a fabrication. II Is probable that no
