representation for the colony of New
soundland at the reciprocity conference
between the United States and Canada

fcation for this step is the fact that
the late James 6. Blaine. when secre-
tary of state. signed a reciprocity con-
vention with Newfoundland, dated in

The British government disallowed
this because Canada was not included
n its preferential arrangements Now

M0RMONIsM SILL LIVES.
Po'ygamy Silt Prac,iced IN Defiance Of the
United STATES Law.

Boston, Nov. 1.-THE Rev. Charles r.
Bliss, financial agent of Salt Lake Col
lege. Utah, spoke. this evening. in the
Franklin Street Congregational church
SOmervilte. on The Present Attitude OF
Mormonism.
He said that the American people mis-
conceive the nature and underrate the
power of the Mormons. The position ia
ken by many that polygamy is dead is not
true. 1t is still practiced by men promi-
nent in the church. and is generally ac-
cepted by the Mormon people as true in
doctrine. AS recently as Oct. %, a presi-
dent in the Mormon church published in
the Provo Enquirer of Utah. over his own
name. Edward Partridge, the following
statement:
The principle of plurality of wives was
given by revelation from God to Joseph
Smith and was practiced by Divine COM
mandment. but the principle was rejected
by the government of the United States
and such pressure was brought to bear
upon its practice that, after much suffer
ing. the Lord moved upon His servant,
Wilford Woodruff. to proclaim the dis
continuance of the practice: but no one
need think that God has changed His
mind as to the truth of the principle
Truth is eternal and will never change
The same paper bravely discusses. ir
another issue. the question whether. if
Utah should choose to change it's consti-
tuition, legalizing pOlygamy, the govern,
HleTl WOuiu nave uHe IIeflt 10 interfere.
President Partridge comedies it to be
his belief that God is a polygamous being
lowing a female companion" and that
Christ was also a polygamist. This poly
gamous principle enters into the very
warp and woof of his religious convic-
tions. Unquestionably all the older Nor
mon leaders share these convictions with
him.
The sympathy and incessant teachings
of the last so years. and it is a very seri-
Gus question whether with such men poly
gamy ever can be dead. The country
need rot be surprised If within a very
few years an agitation should be COM
menced in Utah to eXpunge from the
state constitution all articles prohibiting
polygamy. That the Mormon church is
steadily seeking to re-establish its power
is evident from many facts.
Undoubtedly the only means now left
the country to shape Mormon aairs are
moral means. The time for legislation
has passed. Utah is the arbiter of her
own destiny so far as laws are concerned,
but the Christian church. school and col
lege are more powerful than statutes, anc
these can and ought TO be multiplied in
tha. state.

put an end to It. Yet have we stood by
and seen all this, not only seen all this,
but spend t2,0O0.000 to assist Spain in do
ing It. The blood of the Cuban martyrs
and the skeleton corpses Of the inoffensive
