MORMON DENIALs DON'T COUNT

We see that the Norwegian Mormons
here are making protests against what
they claim to be the Misrepresentation
and falsehoods told about the saints by
the Norwegian newspapers The fact
that the Norwegian saints are making
these denials is pretty good evidence
that what the Norwegian newspapers
are saying is true; for they would not
take the trouble to deny unless the dc.
mails were false, and the charges
against the Mormon propaganda were
true.
1t is a matter of common notoriety
that the dcpials of the church leaders
here with respect to polygamy are al
together untrue. Polygamous living has
never ceased, although the pledge was
toarfully and anxiously made that it
should cease. The elders and church
leaders generally, protested that they
would come within the law in their
actions and their family relations if
only they were granted amnesty, but
they have never done so, They pro-
tested with great volubility and appar.
ent earnestness that all infractions Of
the law had ceased, and yet we are
able to print a list of moro than one
hundred new polygamists since the
manifesto, and this list doubtless is so
small compared with the total number,
that we fully believe that there have
been score of such violations of the
law where We arc. able to point di
rectly to one. And the living in old
polygamous relations has brazenly, gen
orally and scandalously continued.
In making the denials that they do,
the Norwegian Mormons here are
simply falling in the wake of the
church leaders higher up. And tho
history of broken pledges, of dishon.
ored promises, of lawless living, and
contempt for tho laws of both God
and man, simply reinforce the we'll
known maxim that Mormon denials
don t count. There is no promise that
the Mormon leaders will not make when
they think it necessary to make
it; there is no promise that they will
not break when they feel themselves
free to break it; they are dishonest
lot of liars and robbers, whose word
is not worth the foul breath required

Piled. We have shown, repeatedly,
wherein the prophecies have failed,
wherein the teachings have changed,
how the revelations have been cut out
and new ones added without sanction
or consent of the people, and wherein
the bogus prophet, seer, and revclator,
has broken his oath to tho govern
ment, and under oath admitted that
he never received a revelation in his
life; that he expects to continue to
live in defiance of the laws of God
and man.
The whole Mormon history reeks
with crime, with falsehoods, inconsis-
tencies, and efforts to keep the saints
In darkness regarding the true condi-
ton of early happenings in the church.
Nom Mormons in Utah raise their voices
and do what they can against this
polltico religious scheme. In the 132nd
section OF the Doctrine and Cove
nants, paragraph AZ, are tho follow
ing words: "And again L say whom
soever you bless, / will bless, and
whomsoeyer you curse, | will curse,
saith the Lord - Herein is the secret
of the whole trouble in Utah All good
saints believe that the leaders have
absolute power in all things, that those
whom they curse must be cursed AS
though God acted directly. When the
bogus prophet raises his hand and pro.
nounces curse upon any Gentle, that
man is cursed in the eyes of the saints,
or they are not following their re-
ligion. Non-Mormons have stood this
cursing as long as they can without
talking back, and hereafter they pro.
pose to object by ballot and with ar
gument against the system which pro-
hibits individual liberty, fair play, NOR
aIlty IN domestic relations, and q free,
untrammeled ballot in this State.

ing a very largo discrepancy between
the two accounts. 1t appears that the
County Surveyor has done a good deal
OF work, has received considerable mon.
ey for il, and has undertaken to make
That private instead of public business
and income. But that sort of thing will
not do al all. When the change was
made from the fee paying of the public
officers TO the salary system, the argu-
ment was that tho fees would amount
to i good deal moro than the salaries,
and that the public would derive an ad-
vantage from the change. 1t has been,
however, directly the other way. This,
undoubtedly. because the officers have
not fairly and honestly turned in the
moneys received by them in their of
fetal positions. and have filed their Of
fees, for political and personal reasons,
with far larger forces than are needed.
The case of the County Surveyor is
distinctly in point. He has received
$4,000 in salaries for himself and his
assistants, and he has turned in mere
fraction of that amount, not even one
tenth, which is clearly wrong on the
people All of the money received by
the County Surveyor in his official ca
pacity as surveyor, should go into the
public treasury. Undoubtedly if these
moneys would 60 there. the accounts
of money paid into the public treasury
and the money received by the Sur

return to the treasury. We trust, how
ever, that the bondsman will not be re-
lieVed, because that would be sure TO
make complications, and would be in
furious to the public If any bondsman
were relieved from his liability, then
there would be question raised at once
as TO when the discrepancy between the
receipts and the amount turned over to
the public treasury occurred. The only
safe thing for the County Commission
ers to do is 10 hold the bondsmen to
their liability until the County Sur
veyor S affairs are fully settled. 1t
would be the worst kind of mistake to
relieve any of the bondsmen at this
time.

PAYNE ON CLOCK STOPPING,

Representative Serene E. Payne, who,
with Aldrich, is chiefly responsible for
the new bunko tariff law, seems to want
stoppage of the clock while a glance
can be taken backwards to conditions
hfteen years ago, when the passage of
a fraudulent tariff law by the Demo.
cratic party at the dictatiou Of the Gin
terests' through Senator German,
brought disaster to the country and to
the Democratic party.
Representative Payne seems to take
some comfort in the idea that back
ward glance of this kind would be to
the advantage of the "stand patters -
In taking this position he apparently
forgets that thore is another view alto
gether that may be taken of that mat
ter. The Democratic party passed in
the House a genuine Democratic tariff
bill, under the leadership of Represen-
tative Wilson. When the bill got into
the Senate it was hung up for long
time and rumors vaned from day TO day
as to what the Senate Committee was
going to do to it, much speculation by
the Senators themselves resulting from
these rumors. Finally whom the bill
was reported to the Senate, Mr.. Cor.
man insisted upon protecting the sugar
combine and had so manipulated the
Democratic tariff bill-although he was
a Democrat himself-that it no longer
represented tho Democratic idea. So
bad was the bill when it was finally
passed under the dominating influence
of Senator German, that Cleveland. a
Democratic President. refused to sign
it. IT was bill of perfdy and dis
honor as he called it, and he would
have nothing to do with it.
Precisely the Same thing may be said
Of the bunko tariff bill passed at the
extra session last year by the "stand
patters'' under the direction Of the
"interests, and for the monopohes
and combines, for the turning of the
markets of this country over to those
Interests so that the people might
be robbed both right hand and left; and
that is what is going on.
If Representative Payne can see
ANYTHING encouraging to the 'stand'
matters" in following the example OF
the Democrats fifteen years ago. then
he is certainly welcome to that view
1t is true that there is good deal of an
alogy between bis own position and that
of Senator German; and in both cases a
fraudulent law was the result. The peo'
ple of the country, however, are sure
to see that. and will be most likely to
visit the same kind of vengeance on
the stand-patters' for their perhdy
and bad faith that they visited upon
the Democrats for the same bad quail
ties in 1896.

VICIOUS PRIESTHOOD WAYS.

The stranger who comes to Utah
after hearing the saints explain how
they arc prosecuted and msrepre-
sented, wonders why The Tribune con
tinues to expose Mormon secret schemes
and the fallacies and Vaccinations of
its crafty leaders. lie naturally sup
poses that the best way 10 do is to
let the matter drop-let time cure the
evil Of priestcraft. But to those who
have lived in Utah forty or fifty years,
who have seen the treachery, broken
oatbs, lack of honor, and virulent hypo-
crisy, such a course is out of the ques-
ton. The non Mormons in Utah, and
surrounding territory, want complete
separation of church and state and an
absolute guarantee that church graft
ers Will keep out of the double game
OF politics and officiating as apostles,
seers and revelators.
II is entirely incompatible to mix
religion and politics; it has been tried
since history began and never found
anything but retrogading and degrad-
ing. The stranger cannot understand
the situation here until he lives among
the saints and knows of the dark days
in Utah, as we'll as the conditions now
holding sway Notwithstanding the
agreements under oath Of a large num-
ber of leaders to stop polygamy and
obey the laws of the State and Nation
there are many hundred new polygamy
cases, more than one hundred of which
this paper has exposed. And the men
who have taken these plural wives are
upheld as high officials, principals of
church schools, presidents of stakes and,

men flaunt their crimes in the face

PoIygamy, however, is not tho only
thing which the American party OBJ

a powerful combination that can be
handled by supposed divine seership.
