A M0ULDY CHESTNUT,

Every now and again one OF the anti-
Mormon" cranks ana persistent pre-
yaricators repeats the falsehood often
refuted, that the Mormon" Church
entered into compact with the United
States government so that Statehood
might be secured on certain conditions
one Of these. it is alleged was that
mo more political control should ever
again be exercised over the rank and
file OF the Church
The idiocy Of the notion that any
kind OF q compact would or could
be made by the United States govern
ment with church, ought to be pcr-
ceived by the cranSiest of those anti
Mormon lunatics. But they keep
right on with their vain repeti-
tons, no matter how silly they apnear
in the eyes Of thinking people. There
is not a word Of truth in the story that
the President OF the Mormon Church
at any time stated that political con-
troll should mo more or never
again" be exercised by the Church over
its members. or anything to that ef-
feet. Nothing can be found ON record
which can be viewed az nm admission
from Mormon President that such
control had ever been exercised over
the rank and file" or by whatever
designation may be used concerning
the Mormon" people.
\ representative Of the Salt Lake
Times once waited upon the President
OF the Mormon Church at time
when political affairs were under dis
cussion in this city. and replies were
made to "a number Of questions. one
OF them Was as TO the desire and in
tention OF the leaders OF the Church to
direct, control or dominate the politics
of Church members. lie was assured
that they had no such disposition or
purpose, but that the members of the
Church would be as they had ever
been, perfectly free in the exercise of
their political rights ana privileges

This Is not case OF bribery, but the
Senator was considered transgressor
az the law which prohibits member
OF the legislative department of the
government using his ability or infiu-
ence IN actions against the government.
He should have refused to act for the
concern referred to and sent Its agent

trouble upon him. But Is he, then the

The remote origin Of the trouble
