of A this territory and which has gone to the supreme court of the nation for adjudication tho ground taken by judge hawley in his hia ruling in that case was that the aldermans Alder mans court had not the power to issue the warrant under which the Eu gelbrecht engelbrecht saloon was abated the ground taken by the defendants in the present cases is that the aldermans Alder mans court has no jurisdiction the peace and good order that have reigned in this city and been the admiration of the whole world BO so far as the internal condition of the community has bas been known this satisfactory state of affairs has been to a great extent the result of wholesome municipal and territorial lawa laws and regulations judiciously leand and impartially administered should the rights of the citizens be trampled under foot and the territorial aud and municipal laws be set aside except when useful in the prosecution of mormons cormons Mor mons where al will such a course lead to we do not say this by way of anticipating decisions in the impending cases above alluded to for we think that men could scarcely be found however imbued with religious or political bigotry who would be BO so blind to inevitable consequences as to aid in bringing about in a community hitherto peaceful and harpy happy a rel rei reign agn of which would be sure to follow a lack of necessary regula regulations eions to restrain the vicious and protect the law abiding OH olal how it is la Is it many of our exchanges published the sensation fictional dispatch to thu effect that the women of utah had forwarded a fifty feet petition to washington praying for the institution of effective measures against le marriage and some of those papers to their credit be it said have been equally forward to publish the truth when it jtb appeared that the petition referred to was in favor of the marriage system referred to and opposed to the unjustifiable and ruinous proceedings ce edings of federal officials and other ring ning members in their crusade against the people of this territory the washington correspondent of the new york herald och oct thus states the case according to his after understanding of it the character of the petition from utah fifty feet long and signed by about twenty five hundred women of or that territory was recently unintentionally misstated instead of being against it is in favor of polygamy and was sent to the executive mansion by delegate hooper the petit peti loneis gonei a say that their husbands fathers sons and brothers are now being exposed to the murderous policy of a clique of federal officers intent on the destruction of an honest happy industrious and prosperous peo pie and they therefore ask for the removal of the federal disturbers disturb ers of the peace or at least to stop the disgraceful proceedings or send candid and reliable men to utah to investigate the question of the tho constitutional rights and liberty of the people the petitioners petition ers express their approbation of polygamy asserting that it was auctioned by christs teachings and that the ius Ibs institution titu is being perverted by federal cers editorially the herald makes the following comments upon the affair the mormon women have drawn up a petition to congress fifty feet ion lon ing 9 and signed by twenty five hundred petitioners petition ers praying that proceedings against the cormons mormons be stayed they express belief in the divinity of the system and say that they the y are content as they are some time ago we suggested that the mormon wives make themselves heard on the subject and doubtless if the petition is a g genuine gennine e cuine one this is the means they have taken to that end it can hardly be probable that the petition will affect the trials now pending but in view of the fact that the future of these unfortunate women is most deplorably affected by the prosecution it should become a subject of thoughtful consideration with congress and the administration yes it should become a subject of thoughtful consideration with congress and the administration not that any consideration which either may give to toi the s subject will change the opinion of the latter day saints upon the morality or the divine institution and sanc tion of plural marriage that is beyond the power of either congress or the administration but thoughtful consideration by the ruling authorities of the union may help them to act judi clouspy and in a spirit of enlightened statesmanship worthy of the question the cou country and the times f it t is too late in the century for congress or the administration to think for a moment of disposing of the mormon problem in a summary suoi Buoi mary part izan prejudiced vindictive or terminative ox manner it will dis disgrace gruce grace and ruin any legislature or administration which is so short sighted and impolitic as to attempt any such thing the mormon social system is a fixed fact apparently half a cent growth it has established itself in the face of and in spite of the supposed enlightenment of the age it has not had the advantage of scholarship of acknowledged states mans mane manship hip bip of confessed ability it has been unaided by prestige or talent or learning and yet has pushed its way successfully in the most moat civilized nations on the earth gathered a hundred thousand adherents notwithstanding all kinds of opposition from both friends and foes of its advocates and come off victorious strengthened and invigorated from all the attacks of its enemies social or governmental this fact is a very powerful argument in favor of the pos session of uncommon if not indeed unconquerable vitality if congress or the administration were to suppose that mormonism mormonism can be overthrown and destroyed in a few days and were to act upon such a supposition the result would be certain failure and as it is not pleasant to us to fee either congress or the administration humiliated we mild ly caution both those honorable corporations aa as does our conte contemporary the herald berald to think the matter over seriously in all its multifarious and important bearings ere they decide upon any active operations regarding mormonism chevery the very worst thing they could do would be to attempt rashly and forcibly to put down an establishment of religion which they are constitutionally enjoined from meddling with denuded DELUDED WRETCHES may be a very fine epithet to apply to the mormon people who number one hundred thousand souls and who have subdued the desert and planted the remarkable industries which have made utah the wonder of the world the spirit that animates those who thus use it is exactly that which led their ancestors to drive the quakers into the arms of the savages and which burned unoffending men and women alive at ht the stake in new now england omaha herald A chas CHAN CHANGE Gr MUST COME the press of the country east west north and south almost universally condemns the course of the judiciary of this territory and it is but justice to the country to suppose that the newspapers reflect the national sentiment on the matter however much most people might desire to see mormonism abolished the majority are not willing that foul play should be |
