Show a(L ITTER FROM A MORMON LADY, be; Nic following letter Irom tbo wife of da; lading Mormon has beon received by Sc entleuian of this cilj : . wj ; learned thia morning that you were Up ting a letter for publication, the t,b :sent difficultiea in Utah being tho aiI iject--' J'rom this lnorning's papur I i that'a' crisis Ls niproaching, and cei portant judicial decisions are about D0, be made relating to the domestic fa itions of the people of that Terri- m( y. I would beg Ln tho name of frc inanity and justice that all men and on women who feel interested enough oe Llits sul'jcet to -raise Lhoir voices, to pe tlieir pens that those on whom wc s responsibility rest may weigh well s importance of the subject they adle, look.mg at it Irom all sides, not a the bigot who can only see his aL n, but like the liberal Christian C01 king to view it in all its lights and C0 idows, too. .in havo lived all my life among this iC( juliar people, and ihink I can truth-lysay truth-lysay I know them. My sympa- es arc" enlisted in their favor, al- mgh I can do but little in their Ui mlf. I can only try to influence )so who can. I think at this present r ic that ditheulties of this nature will lu disastrous, not only lo domestic sa ice, but to business, and' that the w' icral development of the Territory P. .1 be delayed. The Mormons are ,r, A FANATICAL, PBOl'LB, m; t it has been through their fanati- th m tbat tliey have accomplished in. ndcrs. Kttlist them in any enter- TJ se, and tbey would work us a unit, ca iw they are of themselves dividing, as d all questions of importaaoe are on fb: 3 very eve of solution by the people tai imselves, wliicb ia by iar the better re y. "They who would bo free, th jmsolves must strike the blow;" or th least, freedom is more "highly ap- wi sciatcd when effected in this way. fa ie children of Utah are fast out-- su awing the teachings of their parents , fn d with the presont generation, dt lygamy, if unchecked by persecution, II die a natural death. But does it t seem a cruelly refined to ruthlessly eg tr asunder those families formed in r0 rfect trust, although in ignorance, tj( t equally in innocence, of the least ong? The masses of the people ow nothing oi' tbo laws of the Uui- 1 States; thoir priestly teachers ked upon them as matters of a ar nor importance. The laws of the W( ingdom of Uod were alone para- junt, and this teaching was iusidi- sly instilled in the minds of the uth of both sexes. So fur as 8( TflE MARITAL RELATIONS . rc concerned, as taught by their great sachcr lirigham, all started from the ime ground, lie taught that it made ot the slightest dillerenee when a f oman married her.busbaitd, whether e had married others before or not. cr rights aud privileges were none ie less. Else how could women of uy degree of intelligence have been I rawn into this celestial order of mar- age? .1 can see how it can and docs make difference in cases where persons i1 ont' to Utah already married, the ife then Utile thinking, perhaps, that T l her life time, her husband would larry again. The truth is the mar- II ages of lirigham Young's making re all polygamous, it being fully p nderstood by all panics that poly-amy poly-amy formed an essential part of Moronism. Mor-onism. Every Mormon woman knew lat if she married a Mormon she ould in all probability live in the li olygamie relation. Then what justice 3uld there be under these eircura-lances eircura-lances in repudiating ALL PLURAL WIVES Ul nd their children? None but a scl- N sh, heartless woman would desire to ring about such a consummation. Vives have been m trtyrs, husbands 0 upes, children suff. . iirs, all alike by w liis lamentable delu ion, and ail who ;el rightly cannot but sympathize rith these people, who, as a class, are crtainty moro sinned against than sin-ing. sin-ing. There are no parallel cases outside f Utah, for during a quarter of a canary can-ary tbo people were entirely isolated a nd governed by tho teaching of one -"hose word was law. Throughout bis period of autocratic rule the gov-rnmcnt gov-rnmcnt let him alone, thus permit- . ing mm to cniorce mis semi-Daruanc ustoin. Now instead of mnooent wo-ncn wo-ncn aud helpless children being made he victims, I think it would be fur letter to let bygones be bygones; but o suffer no increase to polygamy in uturo. A fault lies somewhere in not ntcrferlng befpro, but in eagerness to etrievo the omissions of tho past let lot extreme measures be resorted to hat may not only reflect upon the nagnaniinity of tho nation, but upon ts justice and humanity.
