republican Be journal devotes a portion tion 0 ot t its ita space apace to question questions li aud and answers the following la Is one of the quest questions question lon ion mow how wow is it that the republicans in thel their r p platform I 1 atford denounce the system of P polygamy to tso strongly 0 and at the same time admit 0 one n 0 of the principal and aad most influential mor mons such as cannon into congress and appear to show favor to him by presenting his pet schemes for perpetuating the monstrous crime in this enlightened ag to which the following answer is given the right of representation has always been regarded in this country as the highest right of the citizens and it is the right of the citizens to choose such representatives as they see fit to select while the house of representatives haythe has haq the right to determine the qualifications ot its own members jit sit it lias has not tho the power to prescribe what religious laith faith these members shall ado adopt t if california chooses to seni sens send a mongolian to congress congress would bavo have no more right to oust him than if the state should send an irish catholic rather than a follower of confucius the mor mons are in tha in utah and thereas everywhere else in this country majority rules there aro are certain qualifications required of members or delegates to congress all of which eions the delegate from utah evidently possesses otherwise it is not supposable that he would have been allowed to sit two terms in the house to represent this terri tory the to his taking his seat has been manifestly of such a frivolous malevolent character that the house has very properly attached little or no weight to ir it the tho inter ocean truly saya that congress has nothing to do with a mans religion religions whatever he be may profess or practise or whether he has a religion or not if the pres ent cut delegate from utah is a poly as is assumed in the question above and his polygamy is a M matter mattur of religion to him then ic it inevitably follows that congress congre 9 ba to do with his marriage relations for although there is a law of congress against polygamy there is also an express constitutional provision that congress shall hhall make no xio law concerning an establishment of religion or prohibiting hi the free exercise thereof As the polygamy of the dior mor mons is undoubtedly and is known and acknowledged to be a part of the religion ef of that people it necessarily follows that congress has haa nothing whatever to do with that peoples domestic relations of that character or an any one of that people whether 40 he be delegate to that body or only an ordinary citizen polygamy is not of itself either a crime or a monstrous crime it is ud ind crime of any degree on the contrary like all other honorable marriage it is a virtue and with the mormons cormons Mor mons is a high religious duty under certain circumstances lan tan es 0 GOOD CROPS

a surprising extent indeed people who knew the country settlements and their surroundings years ago and have not seen them for years would be surprised to see them now and to note as they instinctively would do the marked enlargement lar gement of the settlements and the spreading out of farms where formerly it was deemed impracticable to make farms and successfully cultivate them thein take a trip on the utah southern or the utah central or the utah northern those of our citizens who have kept close to the city nor for nive five to ten tea years and they will hardly be
