Show tinuo through the coming years and under un-der the changed comtit im. I'y all means let us bo candid ami give reason sway instead uf appealing to prejudice aud raking up the ashes of the p.iit to send up a rlninl of smoke to befog the vision uf the peopl". I fcT I S UK l .l.Milll. The Tribune liuds, after all, that there is no issue about which an attempt at-tempt to rally can bo made except that of polygamy, and in it issue this morning morn-ing it paints tho possibility of a "pol.vg-anion "pol.vg-anion kingdom" being set up here. This is a desperate move on it part for it cannot hope, to carry a majority of those who oppose party organization with it in the matter. The sincerity of tho renunciation of the practice has' been widely discussed, and it is almost universally accepted as having been sin cere. Tho effort uf our morning contemporary contem-porary to reviao its cause by appealing to the people ou thi Isauo doe not, therefore, call for a reply; it falls to the ground by its own weight and will drug down more of the libera! defence with it. We should be candid In considering consider-ing this subject. If tliers are any live reasons for opposing the division that ia occurring, let them bo put forward, for dead issues cannot bo effectually Hinde use of iu the controversy. 'J'ha paper says it does give the mormons mor-mons full credit for sincerity iu anything any-thing teuding to forward the Interests of "the mormnii creed," and it takes Occasion to re'er to tlm moi-mon nun. pie's loyalty to their church. Tun Times would like t ask. it a few (piestions: lias not f cry ditl'orence between the church an J government been liiinlly adjudicat ed in the courts of last resort? Has r.ot this adjudication beau accepted, ac-cepted, by tlie mormon people as the lina'i ami irrevocable settlement of tho covitrove rsy ? Have they not plainly shown that (they yield to the law of the land i The Tribune may not be willing to iuswer these questions in the allirma-, allirma-, tive but the people undoubtedly do give such a reply. Since the controversy in settled, the liest interests of the church demand that it be now taltou out of the whirl of politics. ' Its people are devoted to it, as the Tribune says, and for this very reason ,.' they are auxious to have church and anti-church lines obliterated. This is tho common-sense view of the ca.ie, and if we are to be candid we must recognize recog-nize the plain truth of the situation. The church has nothing to gain in politics, poli-tics, nothing to win from tho bench; every point in which ba-i been intpr-esteil intpr-esteil has been settleil, anil by tho sio of ilcvotion to it on the part of its people peo-ple we must recogni.u tiieir legitimate desire to rescue it from polities and place it a po.-itiou where it can go along In tlie even teunr of its way just like other religious organizations. "If there ia anything in its published history," says the Tribune, "or in tho published declaration of men in authority au-thority within tlm institution itself, it is a kingdom of (iot ou earth that includes in-cludes the absolute temporal rule of iu subjects." The paper must forget the speech made by Johm Hksuy JSurril last week, lie is a man iu authority in authority in the church. In the speech referred to he Mateit most emphatically em-phatically that there was no truth in the assertion that the church bound its people politically; aud there are not twenty-five men who heard him who do not believe in their hearts that every word uttered by him was gospel truth. If we are to be candid, we must listen! to such testimony, and not call out' from the housetops that no one has spoken. Tlie Tribune losei siU of the conditions condi-tions of the period of hlitory to which it refers; it forgets that the irjorm a people have acted together from sheer necessity. They organized tho people's party, and tho peutile, elcmeut organized or-ganized the liberal party, and these fwo organisations have foutfht fur supremacy through all these ! years, the battle cry of unu side being ' against the church aud that of the other a sworn determination to defend it. j The church no longer has any interest in politics, and there is no reason why we should assumo that the solidity of the mormon vote in the past resulted from political vassalage which is to coa- j i |
