leges have the mormons left under fin er the law aa it now stands sud under the policy now pursued in the administration af af fair coirin in utah As ael I 1 have shown all mormon polygamists iala both male and female whether they are now living in la the practice of polygamy or not arc are perpetually debarred from cither either voting or holding office the non gormous bave have the entire appoint ment and control of all electa elec tm and registration i allon officers ficere of and the entire supervision of all tho the election affairs of he the territory no mormon murmon h has 18 any voice or influence in any of the these matters 3 the non Mor raona through the governor who is always of their number bof bold absolute control over local legislation can cullif nullify t will jhb unanimous voice of the leg iela tivo assembly the non mor one have the complete control and forbel I 1 practical purposes the entire representation of th ejury elary trenon the non mormons have charge of bf all the courts eMing qing any important jn r indict rese on they control the entire criminal business both under the laws 0 of congress and bv by a recent rul edff ti under the laws of the territorial legislature as a well and band of all civil cues involving more than among the horde of deputy marshals no mormons can bo be found and slid no na mormon ie is appointed either to the 0 office of commissioner commissio nerr or district at torney they have never ha bad d a any 13 bof of the post offices of the of gf any value though outnumbering their more fortunate citizen cit citi izeor zem five to toone one every office anth inthe govern ment is conferred on non mormons cormons Mor mons I 1 and in all matters legislative executive and judicial they either have bave no voice or influence at all or their voice or influence can only be exercised in conformity with the views and wishes of their the ae political P 0 ull I 1 ical opponents un der 1 the r rulings of the courts a first wife can be compelled to testify against her husband witnesses can be arrested on summary ces without previous subpoena and imprisoned or placed under bonds for their appearance when wanted and a mormon who has ever been a polygamist though he may novi now be living apart from all bis his wives but nit onoan one and duls ma have no marital intercourse with witt any but her can be ba indicted and convicted as many times times and fined in euch such aena a sum aa as would w imprison him for life and confiscate sil his property proper tv be lie were a wealthy roan man for as I 1 have oho chown wn from the record records of the utah courts though a mormon does nob not occupy thedarae the bame beds bed sleep leepin in the same pooai dwell under the same roof or ba have sexual intercourse with any n of his wives yet be may be fa found ti guilty and given the full penalty of the law and that too for every year every month every week or even for every day embraced within the per period iod of statutory limitation in other worde word 8 he can be convicted enough time times t to 0 imprison him years and to a uggie 1 lr I 1 gate in fines flues and yet 1 from r ze such monstrous ruling we can have no appeal or be afat afforded crded any relief fur for the law asit now permila permits no appeal from the courts by which this doctrine has been enumerated to the higher and more unprejudiced tribunals of the land I 1 ask gentlemen nent lemen in all candor what more can the enemies of utah want Is not our boli political bondage to them sufficiently complete under the tho lawas law as it now exists anil under their peculiar administration on I 1 in n utah and should they not be eatie satis fled can this nation afford for the ino gratification of the political aspirations of a hamall unscrupulous minor isy in that territory to forne further chain chains with which to bind tho lives tile liberties and the cun cons sciences of the mormon people who by patient industry and sacrifice ri euch ftc the world has cidor seldom seen have created an eden out but of a desert and founded a prosperous commonwealth upon the most sterile s portion of the american continent |
