Show THE NEW UTAH BILL our friends from fatherland aro are the most reasonable people on the mormon hormon qu question ution they as a rule are not overly religious they are even strict state politicians op opposed potted to church influence but still they will accord other people tile privileges which constitution and custom right and reason en title them to claim and own the tile Chi chicago cazo the leading german paper of the west ha has before this adverted to the mormon question in a spirit of ju justice stice and truth of course our garden city friends look at things in their own way but baill we give them credit fur for an inde independent pe adent individual way of judging and describing utah afra affairs tirs the critical method fur which german thinkers and ad writers are duly appreciated manifests itself in a degree in their utah articles in its issue of the staale has the following on the new utah bill which will be read with interest as it shows that teutonic braina brains cannot be made to agree with S L tribune iune logic or E 11 murray mathematics this time surely catch the many dived cormons mormons Mor Alor mons their last loaf is baked the judiciary committee of bf the federal senate has been delivered of a bill which if passed will put this time certainly an end to polygamy but as that bill dues not refer only to polygamy po but also to other affairs of that region inhabited by the cormons mormons Mor mons it ia is briefly called the utah bill it contains a number of provisions which are intended not only to make polygamy a penal offense which it already ia is but to procure the evidences necessary sary f for or convictions for polygamy not only I 1 the testimony of husband against wife and wife against husband is made but it is bov provided aided that such evidence shall be compel compulsory ory moreover adultery is is removed from the rank which can only be prosecuted upon coin complaint plaint of the injured party and arid is is made open eur for prosecution by the U S attorneys it is further provided that all contracts of marriage shall be recorded and that all books record rezi registers etc of marriages contracted by whatever official priest official or minister and be how solemnized be open to the judicial officers of the united states this much for polygamy but there are oilier other provisions which cut deeply into the whole ecclesiastical and social communion of the mormons cormons Mor mons thus the abolition of female sul suffrage in utah the tile repeal of the territorial laws of ti intestate rights of illegitimate children the restriction of the corporation privileges in favor of the mormon church the repeal of all the legislation giving legal status to the perpetual emigration fund the repeal of the present election districts etc etc these are indeed thorough measures they point to a state making of the mormon church could it really bo be effected that a it board of trustees of fourteen appointed po anted by tho the president administer all the property and estate affairs of the mormon church there would be nothing left of it but a community of confessors atwould it would have to be seen how firm orlone or loose the cohesion would bew bo when benthe the power of the bishops or elders over the money purses odthe of tho members were abolished but here we aill will do well not to overvalue the influence of coin over creed in this respect bismarck made a great mistake with all his repressive ve legislation he has been unable to break the influence of the catholic church over the mind of the prof easo and like wale it will be with Alor monism tm i 4 ih i at any rat rate the provisions of law above mentioned might be sufficient to make lifo hard for the cormons mormons Mor mons especially eap the married ones at least until they find ways and means to circumvent the tile law such they will find As long as several women who have to only one man are satisfied I 1 with I 1 it t they will find out ways and means to protect themselves in their the ir matrimonial rights as they understand them I 1 ce qua jemm teut ie diable ie beut cihat what woman wanta wants the devil

esteemed teutonic contemporary of the garden city it looks at things with a cold eye and reasons nith a cool heart still there ia is no use trying boget to get any 1357 mathematics don its throat neither will tho the average denunciation device amount to a row of beans with a journal of such independence tile is likely and liable to make mi lilis take takee but considering its distance from the actual field of operations we believe it has as bright and correct an idea of the Mon nonn and arid their political and social status as can be expected from fro in anybody on the out outside eide especially it is not sanguine as to the efficacy of politicians plots and demagogues devices |
