Thb Commercial's account yesterday of how Joseph Smith got order frcai God to set up polygamy proved very interesting reading to many liberals who were not aware of just how that abom-- i nation had it origin. .Another chapter on polygamy is print-- d in this issue under the head of Caught At It By Joe." This is a true story, and show that the Mormon hierarchy does believe that polygamy ia an everlasting covenant," and that tha pretense that that crime against civilisation has been abandoned is a deception and a cheat. For what the Utah Mormon priesthood sanctions and approves in Mexico it mast approve here in theory as righteous, and it does ao too. tientiles will please notice the peculiarly Mormon plan of owning the land down there. That same scheme was tried in Utah but did not work well, but has been in operation in outlying towns until last year, and may be yet, probably ia No set of men, not bent on violating the laws of civilized society, have any use for that sort of exclusive scheme. THE REAL ISSUE. Frank Cannon on the other are roaring for the liberals to divide and disband. That would make Richards boas of the wing of the forked conspiracy and Cannon of the republican half. They tell us that they have a deep and earnest hankering for national politics. That it is for patriotism that they are bo C. C. Richards on one side and from its "defense fund" reported at from tlO.OOO to 112,00to Ogdea to use ia bolstering up tha conscience of those who faltr in the division rackeL TL church must b up to some desreperate game, or Ogden would hardly in tb be to a such squandered sop ceive electi on. Probably it realize that it will take a big sum to til things for statehood. Ya, but can they make bribe big enough for that? Not much.

A VERY i . i Rich- ards, the Sun, howls frantically that the Liberal party ia running altogether on a "dead issue." If the liberal cause is a dead issue and everybody knows it, why do Richards, Cannon & Co. have to fight it so hard? They are windy Falstaff indeed to be o frantically pounding a dead lion. No, orators in both the republican and democratic conventions and the actions of both sets of party bosse since all have developed most deoidedly that the Liberal party is the one solid wall of patriotism they must get over to turn Utah over to the dominance of the Mor mon church. It as full of life as the constitution of the United States ia im pregnable against the treason of the old Mormon hierarchy. The Liberal cause is a mighty live issue and Richards, Cannon & Co. vary well know it THERE'S THE RUB. Said Boss Richards' Sun yesterday: It will be more dangerous ten year hence to divide upon party line than bow. Whj T For the reason that if we do not now win over to the side of the democratic or republican parties the Mormon people, and make of them democrats and republicans and American citiiens if we continue to treat them as aliens and refuse them the privilege of joining us in this more- meut, we simply solidify them forover. Ten division should take place. active in supplying plans and advice to years hence if they would be as solid then as in the past. The 1 i Iwir n a fi 4 1i ai triiiilanna Mormon vote would become the factor that But that's not the issue. Not a bit of would control the destinies of Utah, and it Every liberal knows with a certainty would vote for first one party and the other as clear as crystal that when he votes just as concessions were made to them. Ttiey would hold the balance of as he will never think of the tariff. Na- not as American citizens. power, Mormons, tional issues are not now in question in That concedes that Mormons are not this territory. now American citizens. That is true. The whole question, is this: Is it yet And it admits that the Mormons can be 1 it safe to turn Utah over to the Mormons? And that question hinges on two others, namely: Has the Mormon hierarchy really state plan of abandoned the church-anpolitical domineering? And has the same set of bosses really abandoned he crime of polygamy? And if any liberal voters now believe that the Mormon hierarchy after all the tyranny, cunning and duphoity it has never failed to practice toward Gentiles in the past, has suddenly forgotten the arrogance, ambition and political trickery growing out of fifty years of priest rule, and become in a day a trustworthy, meek and lowly ally of the Republic, any liberals who can swallow that contradiction of experience, and reason, may seriously think of rallying under the banner of that whited, regenerated, he reditary priest boss, C C. Richards. They may think of it. And then if they can also swallow in full faith and good conscience the Mormon assertion that the scheme for the degredation of women, politely called polygamy, which 'has been drilled into .all the Mormon population of Utah for over two gener ations as being the direct command of God given to the most cherished priest and saint of the church, Joseph Smith, as an "everlasting covenant" if any liberals can now believe that in a day all the prophecies, revelations, teachings) preachings, practices, of the stormy past have been forever forsaken, declared wrong and God himself proven a blunderer or Smith a fraud in the Mormon micd, then he can vote to destroy the Liberal party. But no liberal who cannot swallow all that combination of absurdities can justify himself in aiding in disbanding the liberal party the guard of American principles in Utah to play catspaw to the Mormon schemers. This ib the whole issue shall Utah be turned over to the Mormon priesthoo d .at once. d held together solidly as Mormon and that they will vote as such ten years from now and not as American citizens. Here Richards ooncedes about all that The Cmmf.rcial has claimed. Now, how do we know, what guaranty have we, that they will not vote solidly for ten years as jlormons, even if the Liberal party gets out of the way now? None whatever. The chances are ten to one that they will. Suppose the Mormons shall become largely democrats and Utah shall be largely democratic Mormon-democratWont Mormons put up Mormons for all offices and elect them in every county? Of course they will. And so this will be a Mormon territory and state if admitted just as much as in 1880 or 1870. The government will simply have changed navies. And if Mormons get control won't they discriminate against Gentiles just as they used to do and do now? Is it not a fact that laborers, teachers, and appointees of all kinds have all been Mormons in the past when Mormons had the power to make selections, whether in publio or private places? This stuff from Richards' Sun inti mates that the liberals will force Mor mons to be solid by opposing them. Who forced them to be solid or treasonable in 1800 or 1870? Why did they not set up National party politics in 1870 to 1880? Why did they keep up their alien priest rule when they had everything at their sweet will and no one to "force" them to do anything? They didn't want to be Americans. They were running an "independent kingdom," founded on polygamy and priest rule" and the same set of men are at the helm yet. They had things just as they wanted them. s. Everybody who can see the side of a barn admits that national party questions are as dead as Julius Caesar in this campaign.
