APOSTLE n. J. GRANT.
A Remarkable Address to Students Of
Utah University.

The Mormons Of Utah are very much
perturbed over the remarks of Apostle
Heber J. Grant before the students of the
Utah University. In the course of his re-
marks he is quoted as saying he had two
wives, and the only reason he did not have
three was because the laws of the United
States forbade it.
The Salt Lake Herald, the demoera tic
paper of Salt Lake City, commenting edi-
torially upon the speech, under date OF
November g. says:
1.-THE Second James must have known
that some centuries after his own body
had moldered Heber j. Grant would inhabit
the earth, or he would never have written
SO positively that "the tongue no man
can tame; it is an unruly evil. full of dead
ly poison" Apostle Grant rarely talks in
public without violating the proprieties,
which is a mild way of putting 1t. Mr..
Grant talked on Wednesday to the young
men and young women students at the
University of Utah.
Speaking Of donation he had made
to a fund for an alumni scholarship,
Apostle Grant said have given $50.
Fifty dollars Of this is for myself and
$50 for each of my two wives" His talk
was applauded, according to published re-
ports, but we would like to believe the
approval was for the donation rather than
for Apostle Grants declaration of his work.
ing belief in polygamy We say we would
like to believe 1t, but we can hardly bring
ourkelves to 1t for the reason that applause
greeted the apostle next statement, which
was:
"eYes, two wives. and If the laws of the
United States would permit would make
1t three.
Verify, the authorities of the Mormon
church cannot get Apostle Grant start
ed too quickly on a mission to the other
side of the Atlantic. He has about as
much discretion two-year-old child
and his faculty for getting himself and
his church into hot water is limited only
by the number of his opportunities. Grant
Is the Mormon Burchard, with quite a
good deal to spare.
And. by the way, without the slight
est desire to be impairment or to pry into
the apostles family affairs, or rather fam
lilies affairs, desire to submit an in
quiry. Mr.. Grant says he has two wives.
and If the laws of the United States per-
mitted him to do SO he would take third.
Will he be good enough to point out the
statute under which he is working now ?
We may be wrong. but we are laboring
under the impression that the United
States statutes prohibit man from having
more than one wife. 1t Is Just as much a
crime. under those statutes, to have two
as to have twenty.
isn't an explanation due from APOSTLE
Grant to the public? 1t is barely possible
that one is also due to the regularly con-
stituted prosecuting authorities for Salt
Lake county. But we have no desire to
make a martyr out OF Apostle Grant"

glance of the outside Of buildings was In
dicated by stories of woman with six
children crowded into single small room,
and depending throughout the winter on no
heat except the animal heat Of the chill
dren's bodies, and another household where
fourteen people were crowded into two

pleted the vitality of the children that two

made by crippled washwoman who beg

in an outside street rather than be forced
to live In an alley, where the family would
have no privacy and where her little chill
dren must be familiar. from their youngest
childhood. with all kinds of vice and de-
pravity. Miss Whitman had aided this wo-
man to escape the dangers of alley life and
to bring her children up In way which
promises that they will support her when
her infirmities are increased by age SO that
she is unable to do the washings by which
she now earns her living.
In concluding her address Miss Whitman
discussed several typical cases of drunken
ness She said that to send these inebriates
again and again to the workhouse. where
they merely rested up and prepared for an
other spree, was great folly and wasteful-
ness. Instead she suggested that there
should be kind of hospital and workhouse
combined to which chronic drunkards
should be committed on indeterminate sem
fences which would comDol them to work

New York, March 16.-There was no
change of consequence in early mar
ket to-day. Gables were fully up to
the mark. Rain reports were attract
ing attention, but in no case was there
any moisture of consequence over Sun
day. Government reported over eight
inches at New Orleans. Press advices
were still alarming as to the flood stu
alton, and this helped much in pre-
venting selling. Numerous mail adj
vices are coming in as to the back
wardnesS of crop preparations in Tex
as. 1t is now taken for granted that
the start in that state will be a very
late one, probably later than ever be-
fore known in the history of the state.
The spot situation keeps as strong as
ever although bears have been pre-
tenaing that cotton has been going beg
ging in the South. On the other hand,
people who are securing the country
for suitable grades confess their in
ability to secure it. There are no
signs of bull clique cutting loose from
their position and short selling is grow
ing less and less popular every day,
Port receipts to-day estimated $4,000,
against 1000 last year. The market
improved after the opening, but the
early market was dull and doubtless
pending further flood news. The fore
cast was for occasional rains gener-
ally. Gables showed l to advance

New York, March 16.-Our market
opened with sales of May at 9.75-9.76-
ST. and after selling at 9.7S, ruled at
9.6S at l p. m. In Liverpool the Egyp-
tan buying was as much of a feature
to-day as it was on Saturday, advanc-
ing that market without regard to the
tone of the American markets. 1t was
expected that the, advance abroad
would cause our market to open at
least 10 points higher, but cotton was
evidently for sale at the opening by
brokers identified with the bulls. Out
side buying was lacking during the
morning, the principal support coming
from Liverpool. Brokers who were
free buyers of July speculation is much
quieter than of late though the move
ment promises to be 10 per cent. larger
than last year. No support was given
to the prices, which slowly eased off
on stop orders and realizing. There
was little if any short selling after the
unexpected advance of the past few
days. A slight rally failed to hold
to the close when realizing orders
were met Liverpool should be material
ly lower tomorrow if influenced by
American markets. The spot market
was quiet and unchanged.

in Southern Pacific during the Fast
half hour The marking up of this

the drastic speculative method of the

manifest embarrassment in the sup

of the voting on the strike ques-
ton on the part of the employees of
the New Haven system served to keep
alive the labor question in the mind
of the speculative public. The pro-
position for New York to provide it's
