HSrsE.-T consideration of the bill for
the admission OF Utah into the sisterhood OF
states was begun. The principal point nj
issue was whether the enabling act should
contain proviso Imposing pains and penal
ties for polygamous marriages, the eonte ntiou
mn the enc hand being that the state should
rome In on aa cqual footing with the other
states unhandicappcd by such provision; on
the other. that polygamy had been stamped
out by the federal statutes. and That the
admission OF the territory would repeal that
| statute. Congress should make II practically
part of the enabling net
Mr.. Morse OF Massachusetts,, In opposing
| the bill, made vicious assault on Utah and
Morrnonism, recalling all the outrages OF
plural marriage, the crimes of the Danitcs,
| the Mountain Meadow massacre, bloody
atonement, and the revelations of the endow-
| ment house.
| Mr.. Rawllns, the Utah delegate, In the
course Of brilliant speech championing the
bill, replied to Mr.. Morse and worsted the
| gentleman from the Bay State very badly.
He opposed the amendment proposed rca-
tive TO poly ygamy As too complex, but ex-
| pressed perfect willingness to accept a sim
pie amendment suggested by Mr.. Powers OF
| Vermont prohibiting poygamoos marriages
| forever.
Mr. Hartes o. Ohio opposed the bnl on the
ground that 1t gave sparscly settled Western
territory too much influence in the Senate,
| The general impression seemed TO be that
his real object was 10 prevent the election OF
| two more free-coinage Democrats to the SEN
ate.
