MORMON PLURALS.
Salt Lake Ministers Assert That
Polysamy is Rampant---DeniaI
By the Church.

Salt Lake, Feb. IL The ministerial
Alliance OF Salt Lake has unanimously
adopted the report OF the committee of
that organization appointed to investi-
gate and report on the alleged practice
and teaching Of polygamy by the Nor.
mons at the present time This report
is to be used as petition for the pas
sage Of constitutional amendment pro-
hibiting polygamy and will be sent TO
the Judiciary committees of congress.
The report, which is quite lengthy, sets
forth that positive evidence can be pro-
duced that polygamy is both practiced
and taught by the Mormons at the pres
ent time in open defiance of the laws OF
the state. The document contains num-
erous quoted statements alleged to have
been made by Mormon leaders, in which
the practice and teaching of polygamy
is advocated and urged, regardless Of
man- made laws to the contrary.
The Deseret News, the official organ Of
the Mormon church, tonight editorially
denounces the report OF the Ministerial
association as MASS Of misrepresenta-
tions, built on a number OF stories, many
grossly false; most Of them purposely
exaggerated ana the whole relating to 4
very small portion of the population of
this state and Of the mormon part of it"

Died, Jnne l12, at Mississippi
City, Mr.. Dan Williams, former

owned at his death a valuable

he lived from 1866 to 1888, when
he moved TO the sea coast, having
previously married Miss Lucy
Smeeds, daughter of Gen. Charles
Smeeds of Mississippi City. Mr..
Williams was born in Wilkinson

serve, very few now remain.

JUSTICE.

The colrts of Washington coun
| ty during the present term have
demonstrated the fact that the as
sertion made by some of the North
ern papers, that negro cannot
get Justice in the courts of the
South, is untrue.
Last winter 10 negro barber
named Gus Calvin had trouble
with a white man in Leland and
the outcome of it was the negro
shot the man to death. He then
gave himself up and was placed
in Jail.
Last week he was Put on trial
for his life. and was represented
by prominent attorney of this
city. The jury that tried him was
composed of all white men, and
was acquitted more upon his hon
orable bearing before the trouble
than upon the justification of the
deed.
In our opinion many white men
have been hanged, both North and
South, for greater cause for the
deed 'and stronger evidence for
justification.
This is the same court, on the
other hand, that passed the death
sentence on two of the white men
who took the life of an unofend-
ing passenger on railroad train
last January.
The Northern press and people
are wrong when they say man
cannot get justice in the courts of
South. The question of residence,
race or nationality has not the
least weight with jnries in our
courts, while the crime, character
Of the prisoner and sthe evidence
are the things that bear influence
upon them in rendering verdlcts.

a CRYING NEED,

The sidewalks of our city are
in a deplo rable condition, aud on
many streets that should have side
W alks there is not even a single
plank to walk on.
This should not be the case, and
if the board of mayor and council
men would do lis duty IN this
matter, the city would have more
and better sidewalks than it now
has.
This is not idle talk, but a mat
ter which deserves the immediate
attention of this honorable body.
Only last week Mrs. N. Nelson,
postmistress of this city, received
letter from the postoffice depart
ment at Washington, in which the
postal authorities threaten to sus-
pend all the mail carriers but one
if these walks are not extended
and put in better condition before
the bad weather sets in. Below are
given extracts from the letter:
Inspectors Remarks: 1.-THE in
spector recommends that present
postal carriers be reduced from
three to one and that the service be
restricted to the business district
where the sidewalks are good and
street crossings in fair condition"
From the First Assistant Post
master General: ''The unsatisfac-
tory condition of the service is
due to the fact that no effort is
made in your city to improve the
streets and sidewalks, and that
the carriers are obliged to walk
through mud and water half way
up to their ankles in bad weather
to make delivery of the mail; also
thatItheir work is retarded through
mobility to cross streets from
house to house in the usual way.
The inspector states that IN pre-
vious investigations he has called
the attention of the postmaster
and of the city authorities to the
condition of the sidewalks, and has
been promised that the walks
would be put in repair, but in
stead of improving along this
Line finds, on his return to the
town, decreased decademce.
We do not think that it is doing
justice to the property owner, who
puts down good sidewalk along
his property, to be deprived of
having his mail delivered at his
home because his neighbor will not |
build good walk. The city coun. |
al is the only body to whom one
can appeal to for justice in this
natter, and we think that every
good sidewalk property owner will
appeal to the council to enforce
he sidewalk ordinance, makirg
others put them down, that the
nail delivery of the city may be
increased instead of decreased. The
;ity has now only.three mail car.
'iers when 1t is really entitled to
light.
The claims that many are not f.
lanciallY able to put down good
walks and that the city is not f.
lanclally able to do it and wait for
he money may be true, still, we
'eileve there are responsible paw
NO concerns in the country that
will contract to do it and give the
ity or the owners from one to
hree years in which to pay for it,
This matter is very important
ne, both to the upbuilding of the
ity and the convenience of its
itlzens. The council should take
ONE actson on it at It's next
Meeting. /
