A STUDY OF 1T.

Gilbert Vance contributes one of the
ablest sociological and psychological
dissertations upon the polygamy Of the
Mormon church that have recently ap
peared In the course of his study he
demonstrates by irrefutablc logic the
inevitabiIjty of a recrudescence of
plural marriage among the cult unless
restrained by extraneoue forces; and
he shows. too, as an assured proposition
Of human nature, that only the sub
servieucy Of woman with attendant
personal misery and community wrong
can result.
To reinforce the argument nj Gilbert
Vance and to show by existing facts
that his deductions arc logically drawn,
ono has but to consider the public rec
ord and the private teaching of the
chief man of the cult
As 10 the certainty of return if unre-
strained:
Every standard work of the. Mormon
church continues to command polygamy.
In no standard work of the church ap-
pears any inhibition.
Since the present chief hierarch came

Mormon church has ever uttered from
the pulpit one word to indicate that
the law Of God and the law of man op.

obeyed On the contrary, while admit

the statutes of heaven and earth the
constant teaching has been that it is
a sacred practice and that it will he

THE SCHOOL CONVENTIONS.

The conventions OF III" frirnps ot
the public schools of this ci.y ere 10
be Feld this evening in rbc fve wards
IF this city. We trust that there may
be wise choice in each case; that some
citizen Of high rcpute. with spotless
record, and known as a friend of the
schools, may be named in each- ward.
There is ample material in the Ameri-
can party for such choice, and there
should be no mistakes made.
| The Board of Education consists of
ten members; two from each municipal
ward. The members hold oldUc for
four years; every second year half
of the terms expire, and new elections
are held. This is the year of the elcc-
ton, and there is an opportunity, at
least. TO stop the evil tendencies W hich
have become too manifest in the pres
ent hoard, which is taking to itself the
credit Of former cxcellencess, and Try

MODERN STREET CARS.

Whatever may have bccu the diff.

I trolling spirits of the corporation
which owns the street car system of

bceu their excuses for the miserable
service extended to the public, they
are now about Ia sec how easily those
difficulties can be swept away and how
unnecessary arc tho excuses when that
corporation is guided by mon who in

Under ordiuai? circumstances any

ownership of public service corpora.
tion, dependent upon the patronage
of the local community, should pass
into the hands Of non-residents; hut
the thrice exhaused patience of the
people of Salt Lake no longer con-
dones the neglect of public right by
local ownership, and no longer regards
foreign ownership in this matter as an
evil.
This community will welcome the
operation Of the street car system by
the Hartman syndicate The service
cannot be worse than it has been; aud
ii must be greatly improved, or the
Hartman syndicate will find that it
has made losing investmenJ-and TO
such interests as Mr.. Hartman repre-
seuts. failure 10 obtain dividends IS
a crime.
Salt Lake gives greater patronage

city IN the United Statcs per capita.
With this assurance, the ragged equip
ment and the still more ragged service
have been iuoxcusablc offenses against
public need and public right. If
the former proprietors answer that
they needed more patronage, in order
TO Justify better service and moro cx-
tcnsivc equipment, the answer is that
better service and equipment would
have obtained for them larger revenue.
