Resolutions.

Republican party of Hand coun

allegiance to the fundamental
principles of the Grand Old Re-
publican Party and most hearth

patriotic administration of that
fearless statesman and friend of

President Of the United States.
That we commend and approve
his efforts to secure the enacts
ment of q, just and equitable

of the hicrarchs of the Mormon church
to ''do the best they could under diff
cult circumstances the Gentiles
waited with enforced patience. believ.
ing that evolution was better than revo-
luton; and even when evidence
ceased, hope came to their support
it was really hope against hope-and
they still forbore.
But at last, when Joseph F, Smith
testified at Washington that it was his
intention TO continue to live in defiance
of the law and in disregard of his
promise to the country and the Gentiles
of Utah, it was no longer worth
while for Gentiles to attempt the self
deception of hope. When Francis NJ
Lyman, president of the quorum of
apostles. testified that he was living
in defiance of the laws of God and man,
and intended so to continue, there was
no longer any excuse for the claim that
these men were 'doing the best they
could under difficult circumstances.
Couple these defiant and boastful
declarations with the assured knowl-
edge that we were in an era Of re-
crudescent polygamy, and it became
apparent that GentIles must either
fulfill the coward lie of Joseph f.
Smith and condone his infamies or
they must resist. AS American citi-
zens, they chose resistance.
What more forbcarance can any com.
munity ask than the Mormon polyga-
mists received from the Genties of
.his State? Previous TO Statehood the
Gentiles had been the ruling power
in politics, although they were in the
minority as to population. They gave
up this authority with good grace and
cheerfulness. quite willing that the ma
iority should rule. Year after year,
however they saw that it was not the
majority that ruled over them but that
it was smaller minority even than
their own-the governing hierarchy of
the Mormon church, consisting of
twenty.siX men. In obedience to the
great American principle of majority

PHYSICAL PROOF.

Under ordinary circumstances a fsti-
cuff encounter between two citizens in
town nearly a hundred miles from
Salt Lake would scarcely be accounted
rs an event affecting the community
life of this State. But when Elder Seth
Langton pummeled the face of Presi-
dent Isaac Smith, and when President
Isaac Smith cut open the jaw of Elder
Seth Langton--the pummeling being far
more severe than the cutting-at Lo-
gan, in the Cache stake of Zion. some
thing happened which demands the re-
ligious attention of all the Latter-day
Saints and the casual interest of all
Gentiles in this State.
+ Details Of the preliminary controversy
are lacking, but it is quite reasonable
to suppose that they involved political
or business quarrel, in which the auto
cracy of the superior was not properly
respected by the subordinate Presi-

church. and as such has been publicly

thought and deed of the subordinate
Elder Langton. In addition Smith is
reputed to be polygamist, and is, be.
cause of that fact, the repository of
accumulated and cumulative authority
over the mere monogamist. 1t was.
therefore, an aggravated act of insubor-
dination on the part of Langton to lay
hands, in this sense, upon the sacred
polygamous person of his ecclesiastical
superior. Heretofore the class to which
the latter belongs have been in the
habit of 'Iaying hands on their fol
lowers, both in respect to person and
property.
But the physical tilt at Logan is only
another indication of the fact that
things are moving in Utah. When one
man resents 4 personal insult here as
he would anywhere else, without regard
TO the polygamous sacredness Of his de-

A DEFEAT FOR THE SCHOOLS.

The school election, held yesterday in
this city, went Tor the old regime, The
| church has its will Of the schools, was
determined TO keep It's grip upon
them, anl too many who have no
particular love for the church were
willing to help it in its graft on the
schools.
The false pretensc of n-partisan-
ship has blinded the voters TO the
vicious partisanship that was the NOV
ing motive of the non-partisan cam
paign 1t was n blind so transparent
that we should have supposed every
one could easily see through II. but too
many good people did not, while the
schemers were able to hold their
voters true to counsel -
1t is an unfortunate result for the
schools. The taint that the evil priest
~ hand has put upon them must re-
main, and the "outside' teachers and
all the pupils will be the sufferers.
This triumph of the rcactionary
element was won by the enemies of the
schools. The vote which elected the
church candidates is the vote that
is subservienJ to the church, and
that is at heart hostile to progressive
schools, and that desires to have them
the handmade Of the church. A glance
at the returns from the Third ward is
Illuminating in this respect,
1t only remains for the friends of the
schools TO stand by with exposure Of
the church intruism into the schools.
and TO protest earnestly and publicly
against any further encroachment OF
that kind. The schools have been the
pride of all the people of the city save
those whose votes yesterday were de-
cislve In enmity TO them, There is
no question but that the reactiouary
sentiment and element are enormously
encouraged and strengthened by YES
terday's election. The friends of the
schools must unite in a powerful and
effort to beat il back in the
actual school work.

CALIFORNIANS ARE RIGHT.

In so far as the President may in
sist that the National Government has
any jurisdiction over the public school
system Of State, he is undoubtedly
wrong. The National Government has
nothing whatever TO do with the pub
lie school system in any locality of the
Republic
1t is true, of course, that treaty
with foreign power, like the Consti-
tuition itself, is "the supreme law of the
land. But treaty is no more far

A REMOTE ANSWER.

In answer TO the demand of the coun-
| try for reasons why the Mormon church
| continues to teach polygamy through
the alleged revelation printed III the
Doctrine and Covenants, and why
1T does not print in that book or in
some other standard work Of the church
the manifesto issued by President
Woodruff, inhibiting polygamy, the fat
uous Deseret News quotes from Deuter-
onomy on the ancient law commanding

And that is all the answer the De-
seret News can make-at least is all
that 1t docs make, with the supple
mentary explanation that ''this law is
no longer observed, yet it remains in
the Bible. -
The inappositeness of the explanation
must appeal to all thinking people, and
1t must be apparent to all intelligence
that when the Deseret News mnst 90
so far afeld it's cause is without ra-
tional defense. There is no similarity
between the two cases. The book of

which was claimed to he a revelation
from God TO the prophet OF the Nor.
mon church, and which was n later com
mandment superseding the one which
made polygamy mandatory, leaves the
original revelation directing the prac-
tice of polygamy as the uncontradicted
law of the church.
The excuses and the evasions of the
Deseret News are of great value, how
ever, as showing the entire perfidv OF
the polygamoUs cult. Whenever the
world charges against the church that
polygamy is still practiced and is still
the doctrine of the church. the Deseret
News can point to the manifesto and
insist that this is the present binding
revelation upon the Lattcr.day Saints
and that. therefore, the law of the
church is in accord with the law of
the land, and that the church conse-
quently forbids the practice OF polvg.

political power in this commonwealth,
only TO find that they passed under the
rule of twenty-six men. who were rs de

American principle as they were be-
sotted in their own personal crimes.
There never was an instance in history
where there was a more generous
spirit of forbearance shown; there
never was an instance in history where
blacker ingratitude was given in re-
turn.
So far as polygamy and polygamous
living was concerned, the Gcntiles
hoped and prayed that the Mormons
engaged in these transgressions of the
law would work out their own problem
with earnest and sincere devotion TO
law and public sentiment. and that
when the circumstances were diff
cult. every polygamist would do the
best he could, so that year after year
some Improvement comld be noted. But
while thus forbearing, the Gentilos
discovered ihat the example of
polygamous living by the chief hIerarch
was followed almost universally by
the other polygamists Of the church.
and that young men were taking
new wives to themselves in hundreds Of
eases. There never was more generous
act than the granting of amnesty to
the old.time polygamists There never
was more infamous ingratitude dis
played than in the attitude of the
polygamous hierarchs after this am
nesty was granted.
Forbearance! What do the Mormon
hierarchs forbear7 Processing to be
disciples Of the Meek and Lowly, they
arrogate all respect. all privileges, all
license TO themselves. They forbear
nothing. They desire the administra-
tion of all things unto their selhshness,
and they refuse to yield one respect to
law, one respect to civilization, or one
respect TO gratitude.

FORBEARANCE.

Why does The Tribune make such a
bitter fight against the order of
polygamy and poIygamous living when
the leaders of the Mormon church
are doing the best they can under diff
cult circumstances 10 comply with the
law and their covcnantl That was
the inquiry made by a very sincere and
devoted woman in appealing to this
paper in behalf Of what she called
"forbearance.'
If the question were properly stated
there could be but one answer-and
that answer would be recession from
the conflict by The Tribune and the
American party. But the inquiry it..
self is founded upon falsity, notwith.
standing the sincerity of the interro.
gator.
The leaders of the Mormon church
are not doing the best they can to
comply with the law and their cove
nant. They are doing the worst
they can. They are seeking in every
way to evadc the law Every act and
every plea connected with polygamous
living is characterized by deceit, By
deliberate falsehood, and by such
proclamation of the name of the Al
mighty God as to send thrill Of horror
