TIE TRIAL OF MORAIONISAI.

Senator Kearns, of Utah, whose
term has expired. declared on the
floor of the Senate chamber that a
man could not retain his self-respect
and his seat as . Senator from Utah
at the same time. 1t is to the credit
of Mr.. Kearns that he preferred to
lose his seat than to bargain with the
Pharisees who as Mormon elders de-
bauch the politics of Utah. The trail
of Mormonism is upon that fair State
"a trail that means debasement of
woman, deceit, deception, avarice,
making merchandise of religion and
politics.
