Show polygamy the senate committe on territories hab has completed the bill to abolish polygamy in utah and the ind idd indications leatious are that it will be brought up for action before the adjournment of congress A dispatch stated that its provisions are practically tactically tiie tile banle banie as aa those of the voorhees voorhees ea bill now in the house i judiciary ciary committee it authorizes the courts cour ta to proceed against cormons mormons who practice polygamy and makes the fact of cohabitation and aud ac of marriage sufficient for conviction it does not appear what conditi condition bu the bilLI bill reaves leaves eaves the wives and children of con evicted polygamists in but the presumption is that it bastardizes the latter and throws the former upon the world dishonored if this ba aji the effect of the billbe have no hesitation in predicting that it can never be bd put in operation the question la Is an extremely difficult one from all points of view but attempts to solve it as sis alexander settled the problem of the gordian knot krot cannoe succeed succeeds polygamy po g is repugnant to all our tn moral oi and social conviction and there can be no of opinion as to the propriety of abolishing it but the course to be taken is another matter and requires the moat serious consideration As we have frequently pointed i out the difficulties of the case ar are arb e fearfully lick ellk enhanced by the culpable apathy of the government in the past it has permitted polygamy to grow into an established institution and his has accorded it a quast quasi recognition it la Is for this thib reason almost impossible to take any steps to wards the abolition of the evil without inflicting wrong upon the innocent and entailing much misery and heartburning nor is it at all certain that the cormons mormons would submit quietly to the operation of such a law the presumption rather is that they would op pose forcible resistance take up arms against the government and render necessary the employment of the military arm should this be the case the results may easily be predicted the cormons mormons would be defeated and probably driven out of utah buu bule they would not abandon polygamy they went the sense of persecution would nerve them to continue the contest and religious bigotry would elevate the issue Int into such buch prominence as to render a peaceful solution hopeless it may be said that the authority of the government and the decrees of the nation ought to be sustained at all hazards and that thai if the gormous elect to defy the law they must take the consequences I 1 like other malefactors the sober second thought of the country however will recognize the injustice of a policy which involves innocent women and children in ruin and shame if polygamy could be tolerated for twenty or thirty years as it has been surely the rights of the rising generation and of the mormon women are of sufficient importance to justify the extension of clemency to those who are now actually married A law that prohibits all polygamous marriages after a certain date while legitimizing the issue of past polygamous unions would meet all the requirement requirements fa of the case and would eliminate from the controversy those perplexing and dangerous points which now rend erthe settlement of the question so difficult and when it is remembered that the nation is morally responsible for the existence and continuance ti nuance of the evil up to the present time such a course appears the mord demanded by every principle
