Tlie Chicago Tr&une in its i-ue cf July 23, has an tditorul entitled "Democracy and MormonLm." It Is written on the interchange of personalities betw ten Senators Vet anJ Edmundsduring the de'jateou the af.proprii'Jou Jor ii-'c Salt Lakr Industrial Woman's Home. As a matter of course, Senator Vest i most stupidly misrepresented, and and ho 19 made not the apologist but the champion of jioiygamy. The Tribune says. "Of courte Vest could not refer toanyanll-polygauiy bill which he had prepared or in troduce-d. He hai oppuse-1 Uie measures of the Judiciary Committee Commit-tee but had not proposed othirs In place of them." Yes, he opposed measures which were inhuman, iil-constltutlona! iil-constltutlona! and tyrannical, but that was not advocating polygamy It might as well bo said that tlie man who denounces lynch law is ojiposcd to capital iunlhment and is au advocate of hcr-e -teallu. Senator Edmunds says of Vest: "He Is opposed to polygamy and thinks it a vry great wrung, and, to u-e his phrase, an absurd thins:; bui ho is like some of the Northern Ltainu-cnus Ltainu-cnus in tho time of the late war who were very much opposed to secession, indeed, but Mil! more opposed to tLe United btatcs taking anv steps to pui it down. That is the attitude of my friend from Missouri on the subject of polygamy." Thu ytoune makes this a lext for a little political homily which reaus as folbns- "so, too, with the Uemocratic lrty in general. Much as that organization organiza-tion may declare itvlf opposed to iniygainy no law can be pruaised for tho correction of the evil which uill get any heart v and etTecliv a suppon from the Democracy. It will always !o found lhat such measures infringe on Democratic notions of 'pcrso-ml liberty,' or are opposed to tlw Democratic Demo-cratic theories of "homo rule' and "local telf-governmenL" The ww-tion ww-tion of the Mormons is Identical with inat pf the Rebels at the iqieninj . f the war, in tnat they only ak to be k t alone' and allowed 10 manago their oienatXiirs in tLeirown way " Forty years ago the same thing was sahl of the democratic party 111 re-garJ to celibacy. The warag-tintt eelitntesthenvrasueiirlvas iralerit as it is no .1 against polygamtts. CM -nates were tarred and fej.hered,and measures imjected fur iKimshlug them of a similar character to tlMe of Edmund'. The democratic jurty sheu iu its vigor and truo to its Jel-fcrsoLian Jel-fcrsoLian instincts actually stamiien on those measures, aud came out boldly anJ heroically for religiou-toleratiou, religiou-toleratiou, txit It did not pniosu eu-lorcing eu-lorcing or preaching celibacy. In another issue of the J'rAunc that of July rtf, is an editorial inli tied "SeeUrian A pproiirialions by Congress."
