Y I.
The american Home. y

1t is falsely charged that the repre-
sentative from Utah now advocates
polygamy-that is, the present contract
ing of polygamous marriages, notwith-
standing the Utah constitutional prohi-
bition of such marriages.
The only evidence adduced in sup
port of the charge is a quotation from
magazine article written some two
years ago by him in response to inqui-
r1eS of a number of gentlemen in New
York, who asked on what grounds the
Mormon church in the past had justi-
fed the doctrine of plural marriage.
The question was presented in such
form that it involved the considerat ton
of whether or not the Bible sanctioned
polygamy; and my answer to that ques-
ton is now so misrepresented as to
make il appear that l am an advocate
of polygamy in the sense of advocat-
ing plural marriages now, whereas
every way / stand committed to sus-
tain the settlement of that question as
fixed by the terms of the Utah consti-
tuition forever prohibiting plural mar
riages; and my article merely explained
the grounds ON which the Mormon
church in the past based its justiflca-
ton of plural marriage. Would tbs
men trying to unseat the representa-
tive from Utah hold that one may not
make an explanation of past conditions
without offense? Are these sectarian
ministers who are at the bottom of this
agitation against this representative SO
sensitive over the fact that it was by
the force of repressive and harsh legis-
lation, often cruelty administered that
led to the suppression of Mormon plu-
raj marriages rather than their Chris
tan love-" the arguments of the Rev
Dr. Newman against Orson Pratt. or
their own little popgun arguments on
the same subject-are they so sensitive
on this matter that they can bear no
explanation of this past controversy
without stuffing their fingers in their
ears and running through the nation
screaming, THE Mormons are advocat-
ing polygamy, the Mormons are threat
ening the American home? 1t would
be interesting to learn what views these
gentlemen, entertain ON the freedom of

Discovery of Klondike Gold.

Probably if Captain and Mrs. Healy had
not been in Alaska the Klondike would
not have been discovered; at least, not in
just the way il did come about.
Captain Healy had taken a steamboat
400 miles up the Yukon river in the sum-
mer of 1892. Winter came on and he and
his wife. the employees and the steam
boat were frozen in. In succeeding sea-
sons they pushed farther on up the river
and founded Fort Cudahy, where trad
ing post was established. In fact. most
of the well known trading places along
the river were founded by Captain HealY.
In 1897 Bob Henderson. who had been
on bunker creek in the klondike coun-
try. came down TO Forty Nile for pro-
visions" said Mrs. Healy. He met
George Carmack and wanted him tor go on
up the river to Hunker creek. Carmack
took two Indians who were working for
my husband at the time. Taggish Jim and
Henderson on bunker creek. On the way
they Investigated what is now known as
Bonanza creek and made the discoveries
which brought Dawson'S fame. Carnnack
told us of his discovery. but in order to
confirm il | talked with the two Indians
in their language, which l had learned,
and they told me that everything Car
mack said was true
Captain Healy was formerly a Montana
man. having been a sheriff there many
years ago. But he went to Alaska, backed
by wealthy men. ard has succeeded in be
