oBEYINe 'sHoLY COVENANTS
Marriages Being Contracted Through
"Sealings" in the Temple

New York Mail and EXpress.)
BY his frank avOwal Of polygamous
practices. Joseph +. Smith, the Nor
mon president, has succeeded in divert
ing attention for the present from the
hieratico-pOlitical phase Of the Saints
pretenSiOns. That Is TO say. he has in
geniously smOothed over the treason
which always turks in the autOcratic rule
over the people Of Utah ana over the Lead
ing element in Arizona and Idaho and
shrewdiy given occasion Tor another out
cry against poiygamy merely-au cutlery
which can amount 10 nothing under pres
ent legislation.
Smith confesses that he mas since 1850.
when President Woodruff Issued his mann
festO fOrEfdding further polygamOus mar
riages. regularly cOhabited with five
wives, who have since that year borne
him eleven children All save one of these
marriages are bigamous. and Smith s
course has been wholly unlawful. He now
justifies II before the whole nation. and
practically says to the American people.
What are you going to do about it,
And the American SeOple apparently do
not know what 10 do about il.
Tho attitude of the Mormon church has
always been one Of defiance Of the ma
tional authority. Smiths position is prac-
tically that of President John Taylor
manifesto of 1885 in which the then chief
of MormondOm said:
we did not reveal celestial marriage.
We cannot withdraw or renoUnce it.
God revealed it. and has promised to
maintain IL and TO bless those who obey
it. Whatever fate, then may threaten
US. there is but. one cour-, o take: that
is. 10 keep inviplate the holy covenants
made IN the Presence Of God and the
angels
hough-polYga nous nfarria ges may not
now be made openly. they are still con-
racted through ''Sealings'- IN the temples.
The Murmons cvade the law AS 10 new
unions. and openly DEFY it as 10 the old.
This they do because they have in
trenched. under the privileges of a state
OF the Union. a hieratic government
which has no LOYALTY whatever IN fine
Union The fholy covenants are too
much for the laws Of The land.

TWO NATIONAL SCANDALS.
Calls For Amendments to the Con-
stitution.

f-lia-aso AnAeI-O2taI-t
The opinion seems TO be gaining ground
national scandal Of MOrmouism Is for
the nation itself 10 take charge Of the
regulation OF marriage.
BY the confession OF its chosen leaders.
MormOnism has been proved conspiracy
against the law of the land and against
all civilized standards of decency Ia fam
liz relations.
AL faithful MOrmOns accept pOlygamy
a. Of divine authority and as a divine
command. They 20 farther than even
Mohammedans, 10 whom polygamy is
merely permissible. Worldly prudence
alone restraints Mormons from the crime
of pOlygamy
Great as is the scandal OF AIormOnism
IL ~ not greater than that caused by the
conflict OF marriage and divorce laws
among the states. IL is only more openly
offensive.
Laws that make a certain marriage
perfectly lawful in Wisconsin and subject
the parties to Imprisonment in Illinois
laws that make children legitimate in
South Dakota and brand them as illegiti-
mate in Massachusctts-laws which Go
highest courtS-certainlY create scandal
Gus conditions. And the instances cited
here are only two of list that would fill
a volume
Evidently the only remedy is for the
nation 10 take control Of a subject that g
OF the gravest national concern. Its homes
are the life of the nation. and laws which
make domestic relations confused and
Scandalous weaken the life of the nation
To bring marriage and divorce under
national control the national constitution
must be amended That is long and diff
ticult task, but it is well worth under
taking.
The work should begin at once and be
pressed resolutely forward. In TO other
way can these Two national scandals be
ended.
