Sen. Frye. the president pro tenpors

The dsath of Vice. President Hobart
was not unexpected, though an apparent
Improvement in his condition within the
past week had given some ground for
hope that he might live for som time.
while the incurable nature of his mala-
dy was admitted. The Vice. President Is
not very prominent figure In the gov
ernment, his dLties teing confined almost
entirely to presiding over the Senate
when In session. But 1t Is generally nd.
mitted that Mr.. Hobart filled the Office
with great dignity and won the con-
tidencs and estssm of all who were
brought In contact with HIM He was a
man who would have made q good PIesi-
dent In the event Of q vacancy in that
office. and the conduct of national affairs
could have safely bssn entrusted to his
hsnds There Is no'saecessor to his offics,

In 1856 q sin more stringent law was
passed, known as the Edmunds- Tucker
law, which decresd the dissolution Of
the Mormon church corporation and the
confscation Of Its property. 1t was
brought by the Mormons in the courts,
md finally reached the Supreme Court
where its constitutionality was upheld.
Under It all the Mormon church property
was conflscated aud sol 4 for the beneti
Of public ed uoation. exceps the Temple at
salt Lake, which the church was per-
mitted to hold ss u place Of worship.
The effect Of the Edmunda acs for
some years was slight. Tho commission
repeatedly reported that polyeamy was
practiced nearly as much a. formerly.
hut the st'sdy pr-seoust6n Of vioiators
Of the law gradually marked change,
and In 1890 the Mormon church, finding
10 could no longer fight the United States
with any hops Of success. threw mp th 9
sponge, and issued manifesto proclaim
ing Its purpose TO no longer sanction
plural marriages and calling upon all
mem ters OF the church 20 obey ths laws
of TIE United States on that subject. A
year later the church petitionei Pres'-
dent Harrison to grant amnesty for
past offences against the laws against
polygamy. pleiging Its members to
obedience to these laws in the future, and
upon recommendation of the Utah COM
mission hs granted the petition and oon-
ferred amnesty and, full pardon for pas :
offences for all persons who had abstaincd
from unlawful cohsbitation since No
vember J, 1850. upon the conditions that
they should obey the laws In the future
and not otherwise. On the 17th of July.
1894, the President signed the enabling
net, providing for the admission Of Utah
as a state, on certain conditions The
following year constitutional conven-
tion was held and . constitution WAS
drawn W and Inter ratified by the people
by large majority. This constitution
condemned polysamy and continued tn .
territorial laws In regard to 1t BY special
prtvision.. On the 4th of January, 1895.
President Cleveland issued q proolama-
tion, declaring that the people Of Utah
had adopted q constitution conforming
to the enabling act OF Congress and the
State OF Utah entitled 70 admission into
the Union. What the facts are In relation
to plural marriages since the admission
are somewhat In disput.. On the one hand
it fs claimed that the Mormon church
Is faithfully living up to Its agreements
and has permanently abandoned polyga-
my, while on the other. IL Is claimed that
plural marriage Is az much an article Of
it, faith as ever, that their promises In
regard to IL have been insincere, and that
the election Of Roberts. who was generally
known to have several wives. is proof
of 1t.
