Deported rlormons.

Of the 1O8 Mormon immigrants converts to the
church of Latter Day Saints brought from Europe
to Boston on the 23rd of August, for shipment to
Utah, wenty-seven set apart for return to the
European port whence they Fifty-two of the
10S were at first detained but the number was re-
duced by subsequent Investigations by the immigra-
ton officials and finally there may be further reduc
ton of the deported number.
In the Boston Transcript account of the affair, it
is stated;
The reasons assigned for the deportation of these
various and relate to the testimony delivered by
the immigrants which is said to indicate that the
methods by which they received transportation to this
country and certain OF their religious beliefs are Ill
legal
In another issue of the Boston Transcript relating
to the same case the following explanation is made
1t is understood that under explanation some
members of the party of the party confessed to the
belief in and practice of poygamy If this is the
they will not be allowed to land.
The evidence at the Boston port makes it certain
that polygamy is taught by the missionaries sent
abroad by the Mormon church and that the pretence
that there teachings practice of the unlaw-
full indulgence is maintained only on American soil
That it is only pretence, the Gentiles of Utah
and Idaho can bear testimony and have borne testi-
mony but the moralists of the country large seem
10th to accept their evidence. They can now go
down to the port of Boston and find that the plural
marriage is part of the argument advanced by
missionaries operating in foreign lands.
According to the statement of the Boston paper,
the laws of the United States prohibit the landing of
immigrants that practice polygany believe in
polygamy. If that is true there has been a culpabe
degree of negligence in the enforcement of the stat-
tory prohibition
For many years. according to the belief that exists
in the mountain states Boston has been open
port through which poygamous converts have been
flowing without hindrance. From Boston they have
been coming into the Mormon jurisdiction in
lots and train lots shipped direct from their point of
disembarknent.
If there is law preventing the entrance of these
undesirables it ought to be enforced Polygamy
feeds on the ignorance of the old world maintaining

The Mormon missionary sent abroad by the church
finds his instructions between the covers of little
book called "The Preceptor" Of the sixty pages
that make up this work, fifteen are devoted to the
subject of poygamy mostly scriptural quotations to
prove that po1ygamy acceptable III the sight of
the Lord of the pariarchs and is commanded by the
Lord of the Latter Day Saints
In connection with the affair at Boston, the Mormon
government at Salt Lake explains that the church has
not extended any aid to the immigrants. 1t en-
deavors to convey the impression, without saying
that the movement of the converts stranded at BoS-
ton was voluntary and quite apart from any plan of
the hierarchy.
Advices from Boston show, however, that the
movement was personally conducted one with FL
der ! F. Barker, of the Mormon church, in charge
In an interview with the Boston Transcript Elder
Barker said:
I can declare that absolutely inducement
was offered by the Mormon church to have these
converts come over here The church does not and
could pay their passage The converts send their
money to the church office and the church engages
their passage simply matter of convenience.
That they have come through the agency of the
church office is the admission of the elder and if the
church has an office convenient to immigrants, it
must exist for the purpose of doing business. AS
matter of fact it is a recruiting station for the
church which carries out it sacred instincts when
it requires its dupes to pay their expenses when
seeking the holiness of Zion
From the Salt Lake end to the Boston end of the
controversy the church is seeking to shift the
sponsibilty, but this it cannot do It's immigration
colonies always in charge of elders of the church,
who exercise the utmost care lest some of their
cruits go astray But the church truthfully say

Columbia. Oct. 30.-The Supreme
Court today, In special session. prac-
tically reaffirmed the position taken
by that Court In regard to the dispen-
sary funds and granted a mandamus
against the commission ordering 1t to
pay a claim approved by the General
Assembly notwithstanding the injunc-
ton against such payment frem the
Federal Court. The attorney for the
dispensary commission at once gave
notice of appeal from the Supreme
Courts order. and the case will be at
once taken to the Supreme Court IF
the United States. and 1T Is probable
that the case will be argued before
that tribunal at the same time as the
Tleischman case. that goes up from
the Federal Court of Appeals to the
Federal Supreme Court. both cases
involving the same points as to the
powers OF the dispensary winding-up
commission.

His Mind Made Up.

1t was during a trial in an Alabama
city more than twenty years ago that
one OF the jurors suddenly rose from
his seat and precipitately fed from
the courtroom. He was arrested in
his flight before he had left the build
ing, and brought back.
What do you mean by running off
in that way?' asked the Judge, who
knew the man to be a simple, honest
farmer
1T is like this, your honor" said
the man earnestly. when Mr.. Hobbs
finished talking my mind was all
clear. but when Mr.. Clayton began 1
