the language OF the Enabling Act
There was a further and definite dis.
cusslon OF the compact" thus entepd
into and completed. by the introduction
an amendment TO the Schedule which
was fully debated and adopted as
Introduced by Mr.. yarian. as follows;
The act Of the governor AZ. legisla.

entitled an act TO punish nolygamy ana
other kindred offenses, approved Feb.
4th, a. ID. 1892, In 80 far az the same

amy Is hereby declared TO be In force
In tn, State Of Utah"
We have not space today to append
the debate that ensued over this prop
ositloa, but may introduce It later.
Suffice II to say, the adoption OF this
amendment made the fact apparent and
certain that the full extent and intent
Of the instrument was to comply with
the requirement OF the Enabling Act, 10
spirit as well as In letter, and that there
was nothing Incorporated In the Con-
stltution, nor In the Enabling Act, that
provided against, or alluded to, or
touched upon the matter OF living with
plural wives, but simply, solely and
only against the contracting OF polyg-
amous or plural marriages, TO contend
TO the contrery Is either to exhibit
gross ignorance of the subject, or a per-
verse disposition to dIstort and misrep-
resent the requirement Of the Nation
and the compliance Of the State.
