brigham Roberts. !,

constitution" adds Mrs. Watts. no
man can be voter or hold public Office
who has more than one wife. We
think it is easy enough to prove that
Mr.. Roberts has two or more. Hence
he has no right to sit in Congress.
Furthermore, when he went to Wash
ington as commissioner he gave his
word, am informed. that he would do
his best to abolish polygamy in Utah.
and would not take a second wife
while bis first was living. We think
it can easily be proved that he has
broken his word by taking another
wife. Now the question IS whether the
army Of voters and the members OF
Congress want such 4 person in Con
greSS. We shall ask all of our huS-
bands. brothers and sons to use their
influence with members Of Congress TO
prevent the seating Of Mr.. Roberts. and
we believe that if public opinion is
sufficiently aroused our purpose will be
accomplished.

Ter de best OBJ her b'lief the girl was
not her daughter" This puzzled the
Recorder no little, and It being neces.
sary to get more witnesses, the case
was postponed until yesterday.
Yesterday afternoon Miranda John.
son was again arraigned for acting in
a disorderly manner and the old woman
was present. Several witnesses swore
positively that the prisoner was the
old woman's child, and the Recorder
turned to the old woman and said:
"Old woman, why did you appear to
be in doubt about Miranda being your
daughter the other day?"
"Lawd bless yer, honey, Ise still in
doubt bout dat matter" was the re-
ply.
Why" asked the Recorder who
felt that he had great mystery be-
fore him.
"Bekase," replied the old woman,
"dar Tus er misshur OBJ two babies er

announced the recorder "and, old
woman, If you think she Is your daugh.

The old woman gave herself the
benefit Of the doubt and Miranda is

wonder the wise men Of Christ's time
laughed at this penniless Christ.
Why" they said who is to pay for

Who is to pay the salaries Of the teach

The consequence was that most of the

Theodosius, the emperor, and passed
out of the room, and the emperor was
offended, saying to the old bishop,
Why didn't you pay the same honor
to my son, who shares with me in the
government" Then the old bishop
turned to the young man and said,
"The Lord bless thee, my young man,
bat still paid him 20 such honor as ne
had paid to the emperor. And the en-
peror was still offended and displeased,
