Mormon People Bow in Respectful
Submission.

The Mormon people have bowed in re-
Spectfui submission to the laws enacted
against plural marriage. While it is true
that for many years they contested the
consutuuonality of the law of congress.
and during that time acted i'm harmony
with their religious convictions in uphold
| ing by practice, as well as by spoken and
written word. a principle committed to
them from God. still. when every means
of constitutional defense had been ex-
/ hausted, the church abandoned the con-
! troversy and announced its intention to
be Obedient TO the laws of the land Sub-
sequently. when statehood for Utah be
came a possibility, on the condition that
her constitution provide by ordinance If
revocable without the consent of the
United States. that plural marriages
should be forever prohibited. the Nor
mon people accepted the conditions by
voting for the adoption Of the constitu-
[ ton. From that time until now. the
church mas been true to its pledge reSDect-
ing the abandonment of the practice of
plural marriage. II il be urged that there
have been instances of the violation of
the anu-polygamy laws. and that some
persons within the church have sought
to evade the rule adopted by her pro-
-hibitinE plural marriages. the plain an
swer Is that. in every state and nation
there are individuals who violate law in
spite of all the vigilance that can be ex-
ercised but it does not follow that the
integrity of a community or a state is
destroyed because of such individual
transgressions All We ask is that the
same common-sense judgment be exer-
clSed IN relation to our community that is
accorded to other communities. When all
the circumstances are weighed. the won
der Is, not that there have been sporadic
cases of plural marriage but that such
cases have been so few. it should be re-
membered that a religious conviction ex-
listed among the people holding this or
der OF marriage to be divinely sanctioned
Little wonder then that there should ap-
pear. in a community as large as ours
and as sincere. a few over-zea lous indi-
viduals who refused to submit even to the
action of the church in such a matter
or that these few should find others who
synapathized With their views; the num-.
Der. however. is small
Declares That Problem Is Fast Solv-
ing Itself.
Those who refer to Mormon polyga-
my as menace to the American home
or as a serious factor in American prob
lens. make themselves ridiculous So far
as plural marriage is concerned, the ques-
ton Is settled The problem of pOlyg-
amous living among ouE people Is rap
idly solving itself Ii is matter of rec
ord that in 1850. when the manifesto was
issued. there were 2,451 plural families; in
nine years this number had been reduced
to 1.5+S -Four years later the number
was So; and many Of these nave since
passed away

Following is the text OF the declaration
Of principles issued yesterday by the
first presidency Of the Church Of Jesus
Christ Of Latter-day Saints:
The Church of Jesus Christ Of Latter
day Saints to the world:
Greeting; I'm the hope of correcting
Misrepresentation. and Of establishing a
more perfect understanding respecting
ourselves and our religion, We. the Off
GERS and members Of the Church of Jesus
Christ of Latter-day Saints. i'm general
conference assembled, issue this deClara-
ton.
Such an action seems imperative. Never
were our principles or our purposes more
widely misreprespnted. more seriously
misunderstood. our doctrines are dlStor-
ted. the sacred ordinances OF our reii-
gion ridiculed. our Christianity ques-
TONED our history falsified. our charaC-
Ter traduced. and our course of conduct
as "a people reprObated aud condemned.
In answer TO the charges made against
us, for ourselves and for those who. I'M
drr divine direction, founded our religion
and our church. for our pOSterity, to
whom We shall transmit the faith, and
INTO whose keeping We shall give the
church Of Christ; and before mankind
whose opinions We respect, We solemnly
declare the truth 20 be.
Our religion is founded on the reVcla-
lions ct God. The gospel We proclaim is
the gospel ot Christ. restored to earth in

Neither in mental attitude nor in con-
duct have we been disloyal to the gov
eminent under whose guarantee Of re-
ilgious freedom our church was founded.
The Book of Mormon proClaims America

to righteousness and liberty: a land of

against all other nations. and he that

the Lord declared that he had established
the Constitution of the United States
through wise men raised up unto this
very purpose" 1t is also our belief that
God has blessed ard pr0spered this ma
ton. and given INTO it power to enforce
the divine DEGREES concerning the land of
Zion. that free institutions might not per-
ish from the earth. Cherishins such con-
victions. We nave no place in cur hearts
for Gisloyal sentiments. nor Is there like
lihood Of treason IN our conduct. Were
We eVii-dispoSed toward American insti-
tutions. or disloyal to the United States
we would be recreant 10 those principles
TO which by interest and education we
are attached. and would repudiate the
revelations Of God concerning this land.
In reaffirming our belief in the high
destiny OF America. our attachment to
American institutions, and our loyalty
TO the United States. we declare that
these sentiments, this loyalty. have out
lived the memory OF all the wrongs in
flicted upon our fathers and ourselves

Death Sentences Commuted.

Mrs. Valentino Madrid and AL
ma Lyons, who were sentenced to
hang at Hillsboro, Sierra county
on June 7, for the murder of Man
uel Madrid, husband Of Valentino,
had their sentences Of death COM
muted to life imprisonment by
acting Governor Reynolds last
Tuesday.
Manuel Madrid died under sus-
picious circumstances. An analy-
sis of the contents of the stomach
revealed the fact that he died Of
arsenic poisoning and upon fur
ther probing it was ascertained
that rough on rats had been pur-
chased by the colored girl who
lived with the family. Mrs. Mad
rid and Alma Lyons were arrested
when these facts became known
and when confronted with the evil
dence of their guilt made a COM
plete confession.
According to her own testimony
Mrs. Madris placed the rat poison
in her husbands food.
Francisco Baca was also taken
into custody charged with being
an accompiice. He is now in the
Territorial penitentiary at Santa
Fe. 1t is alleged that Mrs. Mad
rid's motive for the murder was to
get her husband out of the way
that she might marry Baca, with
whom she is said to be infatuated.
Baca has steadfastly maintained
his innocence in connection with
the murder, although the con-
demned girls declared upon the
witness stand that Baca put them
up to numbering Madrid and
threatened to kill them if they did
not do so.

CHATTER VII.

& A number OF times during the fol-
lowing year. and finally on the ami
versary Of the Sands tragedy, Bob
carried the Exchange to the verge Of
panic, only to turn the market and
save "the Street" in the end. His
profits were fabulous. Already his
fortune was estimated to between two
and three hundred millions, one Of
the largest In the world. His name
had become one of terror wherever
stocks were dealt in. Wall street had
come to regard his, every deal, from
the moment that he began operations,
as inevitably successful. Now and
again he would jump into the market
when some of the plunging cliques
had bear raid under way, and would
put them to rout by buying every
thing in sight and bidding up prices
until it looked as though he intended
to do as extraordinary work on the
upside as he was wont to do on the
down At such times he was the idol
of the Exchange, which worships the
man who puts prices up as 1t hates
him who pulls them down. Once when
war news flashed over the wires from
Washington and rumor had the cab
met members. senators, and congress
men selling the market short on ad-
vance information, when the Stand
ard Or banks had put up money
rates to $50 per cent and a crash
seemed inevitable, Bob suddenly
smashed the loan market by offefing
to lend one hundred millions at four
per cent; and by buying and bidding
up prices at the same time, he put
the whole Washington crowd and its
New York accomplices to disastrous
rout and caused them to lose millions.
