sional committee having the enabling act
under consideration, where also the fore
going evidence and statements were used
TO secure Statehood.
D. BY the declaration in the constitution
of Utah that polygamous marriages shall
be forever prohibited.
g. The act of the constitutional con-
vention continuing in force the Territorial
laws furnishing unlawful cohabtatlon as
well as polygamy. OF which convention Mr..
Roberts was a member.
All these public acts combined show con-
clusively that the compact includes the
discontinuance of old polygamous rela-
lions. as well as the prevention OF new
ones. AS evidence that this compact has
been broken, we point to the following:
1. That in UtahaSO0 illegitimate chill
dren have been born to polygamous wives
since Statehood.
2. That about 1000 polygamous house
holds now exist In Utah and that the at
tempt to secure a punishment of these Of
tenders is denounced by the majority, as
we believe OF Utah's citizens.
3. That the circumstantial evidence
Enthusiastically points to the existence of
new wives in polygamous households the
most conspicuous examples of which are
the cases OF Apostles Abraham II. Can
dale, in at least the first of which the
church organ of the dominant church re-
fuses to deny the marriage and the new
polygamous wife Is employed as a teacher
in church academy.
4. That the very men who interpreted
the manifesto OF 1890 TO prohibit unlawful
cohabitation with prior acquired wives,
now publicly justify its continuance.
o. That most Of the same men who, In
petition for amnesty, pledged their
sacred honor for the Obedience of the law
by their people, are now, by example and
precept, encouraging the commission of
the crime of unlawful cohabitatiop.
s. As a further evidence of this bad
faith, we call attention to the fact that
men holding high church Offices have
pleaded guilty to the crime of unlawful
Capitalization before the State courts with
out having their church standing affected.
then in some cases having their fines paid
by sympathetic friends
Z. All this is. by necessity, Endorsed
by a majority of Utahs people. in the
election of Brigham II. Roberts, who, dur
ing the campaign for election, was pub
licly charged with being yiolator Of the
law, as evidenced by his Legitimate
progeny and in spite of these undenied
charges he was elected by an overwhelm-
ing majority.
That Mr. Roberts himself understood
that compact to mean he dscontinuance
of unlawful cohabitation, we point to his
registration oath cf 1886 in which h:
sworo it TO be his intention to obey the
law prohibiting unlawful cohabitation.

LITTLE NEWS.
british Anxiety IL Not Much Re-
Iieyeu.

Hrittsh Anxiety Is Not Much Re-
iieVeu.
London, December ., 4:50 a. m.--Lord
Methuen's restoration of the railroad,
while relieving load of anxiety here
accentuates the dangers still threatening
his forces. 1t is gathered from the brief
dispatch that Commandaut Prins Loos
contingent was taken between forces act
ing from Belmont and sou,award from
Modder river. 1t is quite possible, how
ever, that reinforcoments were sent TO
Belmont merely as a precautionary meas
ure. There is little other news of inn
portance.
Reports continue to come from Lady
smith that dissenslon exists among tic
Beers and that the Orange Free st-U
troops are disconnected. There are also
all kinds of rumors of movements OF
commandos from place to place, but the
fact Is that little is known here regarding
the actual position of the Boer forces.
Moreover the rumors OF collapse OF
Boer spirit have been heard so often as
not to cause much satisfaction now.
