~ LSEWHERE, in desire to

- ment, we print a reply from
a Mormon source to the re-
Gently published letter of Rev William
r. Campbell, of Salt Lake City, bear
ing upon the case of Congressman
elect Roberts of Utah. Inc Mormon
reply is chiefly a eulogy of Mormon
ism, which is aside from the question
at issue. The merits or demerits of
the Mormon religion or of the Mormon
people as individuals do not now con-
Germ us and probably do not concern
many of our readers.
The question in the Roberts case
is simply this: Has Congressman
elect Roberts or has he not violated
any of the laws of the United States
and of the state of Utah; and is he or
is he not violating any of those laws
at the present time? Our Mormon cor
respondent says no" The oppon-
ents of Roberts say Eyes" and they
offer in proof the fact of Roberts i'm

habitation; the fact of subsequent pay
ment of fines by him for the same
offence, and the assertion, which they
promise to prove before. congress by
documentary and other evidence, that
since the Woodruff manifesto of Sept
20, 1890, Roberts has taken unto him
self another wife in addition to those
with whom he had been "blessed"
prior to that date, which marked the
aOstensible abandonment of poygamy
by the Mormon church.
" We are convinced from study of the
ease that Roberts has been and is
san unrepentent lawbreaker and that he
Sshould,' on this account. be elected
from congress as soon after it's organ
tzation as is consistent with due
weighing of the law and testimony.
The letter elsewhere in Roberts de-
fense does not shake this conviction.
