Al'Ml'ST 16 ZJE7".S REASON TOGETHER. The Editor of Ths Commeucial accidentally met a Mormon gentleaian and a party division democrat together in an office yesterday. And in a friendly way tbe whole question of party division and This CommkIvCJal's position came up and were discussed. That talk suggested the idea that the attitude of this paper ia not clearly understood by many. The Mormon pentlemun felt that the Mormon people are somehow antagonized by it, and the division democrat insisted that there is not now sutlh'ient ground to oppose the new program. Now, in the first place, this paper does not oppose party division among the Mormon people. In fact it approves it. And if they go ahead and teach national polities, there can be no question but that such instruction will finally tend to admission as a state. It is needed, be cause there is no dispute but that they are not informed on American principles. But to ask the Gentiles to join in party division means to declare that there is no need for a Liberal party. And that assertion is exactly equivalent to saying that Gentiles have no fears that the Mormon priesthood would evermore at tempt to eet up church rule in Utah polities, or reestablish polygamy. And if these two points are admitted there can be no question whatever that Utah should at once be admitted as a stale. Now are there perfectly reasonable grounds for such complete confidence? Look at all the facts. If Utah were admitted as a state the Mormon people would, of course, have a very large majority of the votes, perhaps 10,000, as against the Gentiles. And there can be no room for doubt that if they desire to take complete possession of the state they could do so. Now the whole question is would they desire to do bo? The liberals !elieve, and honestly too, that the chances are that they would. The reasons why they think so are various. Some of them may here be Btated. 1. The Mormon leaders have then? Tbe Geatile gentleman yesterday aaid it would raise a terrible storm a war ton times as hot as tbe present po litical opposition. But what eood wou'.d that do? The heavy majority could nut be affected by the eak minority. Noise would not Droduce anr result. Gentiles could until thev got tired, and theo bow down or get out. Now, is it not more like common busi ness nrudence. iust as men do in all practical matters, not to jump into such a dangerous Dossibilitv. not to go on mere presumption, faith, imagination, but let the Gentiles act together, not necessarily to oppose or antagonize the Mormon people, but 6imply as a per sonal defense of their own rights and of the principles they consider indispen sable to a state of this Republic? Q If, after the parties fully understand each other, and sound Bnd assured guar antees have been given that the rights of the minority have been made secure, by some practical means of appeal and redress, and party lines are adopted, the Liberal party may disband. But to attempt to drive it out of existence with out any substantial assurance that the new professions are genuine, is certainly premature and can not be conceded. tacked by cracksmen.

THEFAIR 3. o : I 3 par-Air- s. .... for over forty year that the Mormon church is absolutely entitled to temporal sovereignty in Utah in the state. That teaching is founded upon what they believe, right now, to be inspired revelation. And if once right, always right. Hence, following conscience, the most natural thing in the world would be to set up temporal sovereignty if there were no legal restraints. And with Utah as a state there would be none, simply because a state is governed by the majority, from which there is no appeal. 2. Liberals think that the Mormon, a church be. ehurch would govern cause it has always done so. Its people do not know anything of national politics for tiiat reason. They could havedi-ideon party lines many years ago, as Metho dists or Baptists do. But they did not And, with a very few exceptions, the whole Harmon people of Utah now con sider it right for the churcu to rule. That is, they do not understand it to be objectionable. Besides this, the writings of leading Mormons, Orson Pratt for instance, have declared just as strong as the English language could express that all governments .except that of the Mormon church are godless usurpations and without warrant Now Mr. Pratt could not and would have not said that if itwere not the belief of the Mormon people. 3. Now this having: been the religious belief, the practice, and only habit, of the Mormon people, there is very strong reason to fear that with full power, with B9 restraint, no appeal, the Mormon poll ticianB weuld be powerfully tempted to restore the old custom. And being so tempted, would it be necessary to more than ask the masses to fall into line and make the thing complete? 4. The Mormon people believe in polygamy. They admit it the Mormon gentleman said so yesterday. They believe it right, a command of God through the prjphet Joseph Smith. The manifesto dimply enjoined the practice avoid legal prosecution.
