IDAHO MoRMoNs INDIGNANT.
Paris, Idaho, Oct. 18.-Tbe Nor
mon people of the county are now
registering under the recent decis-
ion Of Judge Stockslager that the
test oath is unconstitutional. There
is a new form oath out and the
Mormons are taking it, and the
majority will vote.
Walter Hoge, editor Of a republi-
can paper here and bishops coun-
ciior and prominent member of the
church in this stake, telegraphed
Chairman Wilson, of Boise, that
the Mormons were registering un-
der the decision.

MoRMoNs AGAIN KNOCKED
OUT.

The state supreme court Satur-
day decided the famous Idaho test
oath, or electors oath law, levelled
at the Mormons valid and not at
variance with the state or United
States constitutions.
The test oath law was passed by
the legislature in 1891. 1t prohib-
its any man, who since January
lat, 1888, or since he was Is years
old has been a member of, or prac.
ticed the beliefs of the Mormon
church or any church or sect that
taught, or had taught the doctrine
of patriarchal, or plural or celestial
marriage or had taught, counselled
or aided any person to enter into
bigamy, polygamy, or similar mar
ital conditions. 1t deprives $500
Mormons of the right to vote and
they have been fighting the law
ever since its passage.
About one month ago Mormon
named Shepard who wished to
test the enactment appeared before
Registrar Gimmelle, in. Bear Lake
county, and subscribed to the
electors oath. AS a member of the
Mormon church he could not
legally do this and his arrest for
perjury followed. The matter was
brought to the atteption of the su-
preme court in habeas-corpus pro.
ceeding and the matter was argued
and submitted last week at Lew
iston.
The grounds upon which Shep.
hard claimed the electors oath was
unconstitutional were that the oath
was in contravention of section g.
article 1 of the United States con.
stitution in that it was ex-post
facto in it's character. That it an.
nuls the provisions of article 6 Of
the constitution of Idaho, and thai
it is in the nature Of the bill of at.
tainder. The court over-ruled all
these points, and in denying the
writ of habeas-corpus held that the
statute was constitutional. The
following are some of the state.
ments of the supreme court on this
subject:
"The defense of ex-post. factc
laws has been settled by repeated
decisions Of the supreme court Of
the United. Ex-post facto laws

qualifications for the exercise OF the
right of suffrage and under this
provision the legislature adopted
the additional qualification referred
to. The principal objection urged
to this was an allegation that it
was retrospective, ex-post facto and
therefore void. The court, how
ever, finds this provision does not
come under the character OF the
ex-post facto law, relate to penal
and criminal proceedings which at
fects private rights, is retrospective
and not applicable to civil laws
but to penal and criminal laws
only. The right Of franchise was
next considered and shown to be a
privilege rather than q right over
which the law making power. when
so authorized by the constitution,
has entire authority to prescribe
such qualifications as are deemed
best. Numerous cases are cited
and tho history of the Mormon leg

the Mormons from voting at tn

wired Hoge to advise the Mormons
not to register at present. The
facts in the case are that the repub-
licans do not want the Mormons to
vote and is in keeping with their
principles to keep the Mormon peo-
pie in bondage. The majority Of
the Mormon people are indignant
over the course Bishop Hoge is
taking in the matter. Knowing
that he is under the ban of disfran-
chisement himself and for'him to
work for the Acknowledgement Of
the whole community, they feel
that it is an outrage for him to
take such steps.
