President Smith Of the Mormon Church
Praises Senatorial Candidate.

Salt Lake City, Dec. 3.-In an inter-
view with the correspondent of the AS
ISOLATED Press, President Joseph Smith
of the Mormon church defined the pres
ent position of the church with respect
to polygamy, also the ecclesiastical po-
sition of Apostle Reed Smoot, whose
candidacy for the United States senate
has resulted in an active campaign
against him by the ministerial alliance.
.The church does not desire to enter
into controversy over this question, .
said President Smith, 'but it Is anxious
that its own people as well as the peo-
pie OF the country, should understand
its position"
Does the Mormon church soiemnize
or permit plural marriages." President
Smith was asked.
Certainly not" he replied. 1.-THE

Great Sales of Southern Lands.
rIyoncas fSftu Star

l.
The statement of Colonel Morse, in
charge of the colonization bureau of
the Southern Pacific railroad, that 100,-
900 acres of land are being sold in Tex
as and Louisiana every month, is truly
surprising. 1t was known that the
Southern Pacific, as we'll as many other
railroads, had been making an effort to
dispose of its uncultivated lands to
those who would make them produce
tive, but it was not thought that the
volume of settlement had yet reached
the proportions claimed by the bureau
agent AS an appropriation of 100000
has been made to carry on the work it is
probable that still greater disposals will
be made of railroad lands in the south.
The result of this colonization, assum-
ing that those who are directing it are
careful about the character of settlers
they invite, ought to be highly satisfac-
tory, especially to Louisiana, Nth its
present large negro population. n leav
ening of sturdy immigrants, whether
recruited from the best European ele-
ments or from the northern and east
ern states, ought to be beneficial to
distinctively southern population.

bering extentively, they have z RATS
