A BAD MOVE.

1t Is a matter for deep regret that
old controversies have been so strongly
revived by the arrest OF Angus M. Can.
non on the charge Of unlawful cohabi
ta,ion. We believe that matters were
adjusting themselves. that with the
passing from life Of the der geners
tivn all tronble over this question
would have been over. That 1t should
have been allowed to,lie We certainty
believe. With this action taken. which
certainly has a political purpose, We
may expect a repetition of old troubles,
crlminations and heart buruings. Tina
The matter is revived by the real enc.
uies OF Utah, there can also be no
question. The poIygamy question L.
rapidly adjusting Itself without this nc.
tion. AS ~ non. NJ ormon, SO believe
tina, IL Is difficult To break III from old
relations AID that the complete cessa-
ton NJ the practice needs time. but
that the SEXUAL aud complete ctssaiiob
Is coming we are satisfied and the
present generation will see IL. We re-
gret the acliou taken, as II will only do
harm To our States fair name.
