THEIR FALSE PRoTESTATIONS,

FWhy is it that The Tribune persists
tho Mormon church in 1890 promised to
givo up the practice. and since the
church leaders continually protest that
they no longer authorize or countcnance
such marriagcs?'
This question was asked by gentle
man who is friendly to this paper, but
who has held the opinion that our per
sistcnt reference 10 this subject has
seemed to him 10 have been without
justifying cause. We will cndeavoT to
give him ample reason for The Trib-
une S course In this respect. and trust
that we may succeed in causing him to
amend his notion in the matter.
Because The Tribune knows the Nor
mon bierarchs from A to Il, and rs a
consequence is able to prove that any
protest made by them, any promise
given, any compact entered into. affect
ing this particular matter of polyGamy
is not worth the breath expended in It's
uttcrancc. nor the ink and paper util'
lied in recording it. And this serious
accusation is made:
Because, in a public discussion IN
which he engaged at Boulogne- -sur,mer,
France, on July 6, 1850. Apostle John
Taylor uttered the following indignant
and solemn denial:
We are accused hero Of polyeamy, and
actions the most indelicate, obscene, and
disgusting. such that none but cor
rupt and depravcd heart could have con-
trived. These things are too outrageous
to admit of belief,
Because this same Apostle John Taylor
delivered sermon to the saints of Bear
Lake, a report of which was printed in
the Deseret News of September %,
1888, in which this pious protestor made
tho following confession;
This [havng quoted from the poyg-
amous commandmentJ YOU will see is

to retard the kingdom of God. The reVe-
lation, as you have heard, says that All
those who have this law revealed unto
them must obey the same Now, that
is not my word, | did not make IT, IL
was the prophet OF God who revealed that
TO us in Nauvoo, and i bear witness of
this solemn fact before God, that he
did reveal this sacred principle 10 me
and others of the twelve, and In this
revelation il Is stated that IL is the will
and law OF God that "All those who have
this law revealed unto them must obey
the same"
There arc many people who try to
excuse themselves in this matter, and
who essay to do as they please, but as
the Lord liVeth, He will not excuse them,
He expects those who profess TO be His
people TO carry out the law.

had just passed. of his aching head and

He watched the stars through his

fell asleep and passed to the land of

He slept and dreamed till the morn

and the wife who lay by his side
awoke and gaZed on his placid face.
She looked and saw on his face n
light like the suns first golden ray

Then she nudged his arm, for twas

The Laws DELAYS.

How can 1.-The laws delays" motor
iously vexatious and costly in the ad-
judication of commercial cases. be re-
duced 10 a minimum of annoyance and
expense to the nations vast CONNER
cial interests? The committee of judges
of the supreme court of the st de-
partment of New York state made
public recently the results of its con-
sideration of the question, so far as
they have advanced il. They start
with the promise that the public's chief
concern is in the reduction of litiga-
ton to actual differences and the
abatement of the laws delays in the
compOsure of commercial cases. -
They believe. they say. that the PEG
pie want 10 see done away with las
much as may be of litigous suspen-
sions and employment of labor and
capital, with the consequent hindrances
of business and prosperity" Their
tentative suggestions 10 this end are
| embodied in resolutions asking action
by the justices of the appellate di-
vision and of the law-making powers
OF the state, upon which suggestions
hey invite expressions of opinion
In brief, these suggestions are for
| marked simplification of privileges in
pleadings, both as to substance and in
time of making; for reform in court
assignments through which justices
making orders in Suph cases shall ba
the ones to hear argument upon these
| orders. and to the passage of laws re-
ducing the period within which such
actions may be begun, and requiring
clear, precise and unequivocal state
ments of facts pleaded as CONSTITUTING
| causes of action. Aside from the rec
| concentration that postponements of
pleadings shall not be allowed except
for the best and most clearly defined
of reasons, and that times of serving
pleadings, notices, etc, shall be ma
terially shortened" perhaps the most
important recommendation is that for
the practical abolition of the demurrer
in civil actions. In place of the de
murrer, that so frequently fragrant
method of securing delay for delays
sake on the part of the litigant whose
cause is weak or unjust, the judges
would compel the litigant TO answer
when his objections TO the complaint
should be threshed out and judicially
determined.

How Tariffs Are Made.

Under the above heading the Chi
cago Tribune recently gave some in
formation that is valuable to the peo-
pie. The Tribune is pretty good
anti-tariff paper for three years and a
half out of four. and its statements
are worthy of consideration. The
Tribune says:
1T is a popular impression that "A
tariff is the SLOWLY worked out produce;
of protracred congressional inquiry and
matured thought. This impression is
confirmed by long and apparently earn
est senatorial debates over one or an
terests had seen fit they could have
in the senate galleries IA few weeks
ago and listened to the elaborate dis
cusSion of the wool and wooden sched-
ule thought they saw how tariffs are
made.
THAT was great mistake. The SEN
ate. in adopting the schedule it did,
merely ratified one which had been
agreed upon months before by outside
parties. Last October east and west
met in Chicago. The manufacturers of
wooden goods of one region and the
wool growers of another came together
TO agree on the wool and wooden du-
ties of the tariff law which they as
sumed would be passed the following
year. Their conclusion was that the
Dingley law rates should be reenacted.
That having been settled, nothing was
left but TO notify congress quietly after
il should have been elected and had
convened.
The elaborate hearings before the
ways and means committee were i
farce. The wool and wooden schedule
was then res Indicate. The senatorial
debate was a sham fight. AS the pres
ident of the National Association of
Wool Manufacturers says. This en-
surd." After the real tariff makers had
decided what the duties We're to be,
why spend time in talk?
If the allied eastern and western in.
terests had seen fit they could have
ordered congress TO raise the duties
and presumably it would have done so
1t may be that the public should be
thankful for their moderation. But what
legislative mOckery it is when few
men get together in private, make out
tariff schedules TO suit themselves. and
then direct congress to make ii law
Now we begin to understand how tar
ifs are made"

Forgotten by Death.

Once upon time. in the days when
things never happened there lived a
man who feared only one thing and
that was death. If he could live for
ever, he thought. how fine it would
be. Maybe Death overheard him aud
decided to grant his wish. or perhaps
being busy taking off young children,
promising young men and women. or
parents who were needed. Death sim
ply forgot him. At any rate. the
man lived on and on. He outlived his
family. his descendants. generation
after generation. all his friends. and
the descendants of his friends. No
one knew him. and his day of useful
ness was SO long ago that. having none
of the hopes. ambitions. or experiences
of today. it was as if he talked i'm a
different language. He lived on. and
on. and forever, but Death had for
gotten him. and though he prayed to
die as fervently as he had once prayed
to live. he couldn't die. And if you
sorrow for one who has lost his life.
think how much worse it would be
to never lose it; to be like this tired
