Thiie who accept its conclusions aru all right, iu its opinion, but 'we would ask il who are the best judges iu this matter? Lot us si i who the men are who believe that the mormons are sincere. Iu the first place there are all the members of the supreme court holding otlica under the preseut administration: Judga Zane, Judge UiM'.u, Judge Tit.ACKHLitK and Judgo Anderson. They are all with us. Then there are tho only two ox-judges now in Utah who were appointed under Ci.f.ve-um): Ci.f.ve-um): Judge IIenijkkso.v and Judgo Ji lD. Tiiey are both with us. ' There was one inau appoiute.il to tho bench by Cleveland who could not secure continuation by tho senate. That is Judgo Powers; and ha is a liberal! Thou tli ei j L'niled States Marshal Paumins and ex-United SUtos Marshals DiEKand SlUL'iyiSKSsv. They are all with us, as well as tho deputies, as far as we know.

They are the men who have had charge of the prosecutions prosecu-tions for polygamy. They are the men who have been entrusted with the duty of enforcing the law; and they all declare, de-clare, with the single exception mentioned, men-tioned, that they bulievn tho mormons are tin curs and that the time has come to divide un national party lines. Certainly these men are the best judi? cs, aud if human test uony is worth anything their evidence should be accepted ac-cepted as conclusive. They areiTlvided between both tho great parties; they are all fair-minded aud houest, and there is no ground upon which their views can be brushed aside. |
