this city and a reporter bishop john sharp of salt lake was in the city today to a reporter talking of utah affairs faire af hi he e said the mormon church is willing to abolish polygamy if necessary for what he said can a handful of us do I 1 had two wives but under the law I 1 put away one of them and although she is no longer my wife I 1 continue to support her I 1 believe in our religion but we will not antagonize the laws of the country by trying to live up to it in all respects sharp says that utah would like to become a state and will before many years A nevada legislator we received a call march 12 from hon A 0 lee of the nevada legislature who was elected to the assembly of that state on november ath last and whose term expired with the session on the eth instant brother lee was conspicuous by reason of being the only mormon who was ever there another was a candidate once but was compelled to withdraw because of not having been in the state long enough he had an excellent time at carson and is now on his way home to panacea he had but recently been on a mission to the southern states returning last july he is a democrat and was the only one of that party harfy elected on the ticket at that time attempt at spoliation in ogden on friday evening march 1 I during a session of the ogden city Council the following occurred while alderman shilling took the chair mayor kiesel moved that the city attorney be instructed to draw up an ordinance as follows be it ordained by the city council of ogden that block 46 plat A ogden city survey be reserved for the purposes of a public square referred to the committee on laws this block is generally known As the tabernacle square mayor kiesel went into office with these words on his lips 1 I shall endeavor to administer the affairs of my office without partisanship and also without discrimination in the matter of public works I 1 shall try to be as just in success as I 1 should have been serene in defeat what he said for himself he was supposed as the leading officer of the city to speak for his associates yet himself and colleagues have scarcely held their seats long enough to get them thoroughly warmed before he leaves the chair of presiding officer and from the floor moves a resolution which shows both partisanship 11 1 and and discrimination in which we can see no semblance of the justice which in ease case of the speakers success was only to be equaled by his serenity in case of defeat he wished the committee on laws to report an ordinance to the effect that the block on which the tabernacle stands be reserved for the purposes 0 ses of a public square no wonder g e r he found it necessary to leave the mayor mayors mayoris Is chair to offer such a suggestion any of the fifteen aldermen and councilors councillors counci lors would naturally hesitate before assuming the odium of such an act our readers remember the expressions of leading citizens of all classes when it was proposed for the receiver to take possession of this square under the edmunds tucker law the indignation was widespread and shared by people of all denominations we quoted at the time the opinion of one prominent liberal who said such an act would meet with his unstinted condemnation and that of every just and honest man no matter what his religious belief or disbelief might be some borne there were who thought that other classes of property said to belong to the church might with better appearance of justice be confiscated by the government but to seize the public meeting houses of a a religious sect and take possession of the land upon which they stood was a length beyond that which the most bigoted felt that their endorsement dor could reach wherein is the proposal of mayor klesel kiesel less unjust than that of the general government the use to which the property would subsequently be put may be different but the people to be despoiled are in both cases the same tabernacle square was many years ago devoted to the purposes which it has up to the present time sub served upon it stand houses of worship belonging to the mormon people and the foundation of an imposing tabernacle for this same purpose only waits the coming of an auspicious time to go forward to completion has it been reserved for the city itself under the new administration to do that which when attempted by the government of the united states was deemed so outrageous if so the party part which calls itself liberal 11 needs neets to change its name how would such a proposition be regarded if directed against property belonging to the catholics the methodists the presbyterians rians or the followers of any other sect this is one of the cases where there should be nothing in a name the question is not whether the victims of the spoliation axe are few or many poor or rich hated or popular it should be whether it is just whether it is honest whether it can meet the approval of good men everywhere bythan by that measure we are willing to let this ordinance proposed b by the mayor be adjudged ogden landard standard march 3 providence notes the quiet little town of providence is now preparing for
