Is the Itee a Prophet? Omaha Bee. The persistent determination of the Mormon church leailers to banish polygamy polyg-amy from the tenets of the Latter-Day Saints seriously disturbs the political atmosphere in the region of Salt Lake. John W. Young, son of the late Brig-ham Brig-ham Young, supplements the declaration declara-tion of tho recent Mormon conference with a petition tiled in the court tleny-thaf tleny-thaf polygamy is a part of the discipline of the church, or that it is taught, encouraged en-couraged or practiced. This answer is mado to stop further proceedings looking to the eseheafment of church property. According to Chief Juslice itne of the territorial court, these declarations will stand unless proven untrue. The burden of proof rests on tho government. .Should it fail, all anti-polygamy laws necessarily fall to the ground, and a large array of ollice-holders ollice-holders will soon find themselves, like Othello, without an occupation. The outlook for the regulators of Mormon morals is decidedly gloomy.
