MORMONISM Kro n tlte l.utln'r.in )eservr. With Christmas and New Year's greeting to the O&serror, its stall und its friends, we turn our thought to it threatening national peril. Com-1 ini' events cast theirsbadows In-fore; .inil in the anti-polygamous agitation in the press and in religious circles we have an evidence of healthy pub lic sentiment. In our Republic, not the rulers, hut the people are the . nower: and no law enacted in 000 flic! with the sentiment ol the people can be enforced, nor can it stand. That is true Imtli of Church and in Stale, and therein lies the safety of both Church and State. Hingsand cliques ami factions and parties may get control of conventions and syn ods; of states and of the nation it self; but the liio and remedy are with the peopje, and the liest friends of truth and righteousness in state and nation are the agitator.-. From Elijah to John, from .John to Paul, from Paul to Luther, and from Lu ther to the present, God ha raised up laiilitiil witnesses, and will raise them iii men who int not their lives dear, il they mav serve truth and the (iod of truth. The integrity and honor ol the Republic are in danger, and there is need of aeitation: that the nubile stirred, TheMor- conscience mav tnons ot Ct Hi" res Utah have elected to the which cuir.es into power on the 1th of March next, a polyga mist, vtlio has three wives. The miestion that Congress is to decide when it convenes, is, Shall this po lygamist Mormon lie seated? Con- gress itself is to decide upon its own constituency, and cannot refuse to Mat any mini duly elected by any ii irtV. he iie .lew 01 ( ipntile. who 1 to the constitution . . i Q. . swcais allesianci and laws ot the United States. Even a Mormou w ho has hut one wife or :e. ii t,i ,,..t !... ,.v.,l,L it , -i en Dili a man v i . na iiioie man one wife is Biibject to criminal in dictment all over the Union, except in Utah. When the territory of Utah was admitted to statehood, many of the best people of the land feared that the new state would vio late law and pledge and restore po Ivgamous marriage. And now al ready the mistake ot admission into; the family of states of this polyga-j nious constituency is manifest. Rut the election to Congress of a man with three wives shows that there is public conscience upon moral ques tions which needsonly to be aroused that the remedy may lie applied. Not only religious organizations and the religious press are heard, but the press which we write secular is hading in the war against seating the elected polygamist in the next! ( '.digress. The truth is that public gCUUment Upon moral questions 1980 educated and stimulated that upon most moral reforms we may largely rely upon the great daily and weekly napen of the country. It is for the must part in control of men who want to do right, ami is supjiorted largely by the great army of readers who stand tor truth and purity and sobriety and law. That the press, secular or religious, has not vet at tained the ideal state, is not strange; for even the Church is still a church militant, and the truest friends of tlie kingdom of Christ arc the men and women who are so far self-for- get ful as to stand for what they be lieve to be right, no matter what it may cost. The press of to-dav, as compared with the press of a htm- ; dred or even fifty years ago, has im proved wonderfully, not only in en-j terprise, but in moral and religious lone. All honor to the American , newspaper ! Whether it is true or not, as is stated, that President McKinley him self is pronounced against this tlese- oration of tbe Amencaa doom ami insult to American womanhood, I do not know; but that his influence will . 1 1 A .1 De BOUareiy againsi wui.au, mav im- unite sure. 1 It lie is a man of patriotism, of faith and courage.

An Episcopalian said : "There are certain ruling ideas of civilized life that belong to all civil ized human beings. Among an per sons dominated by tbeae ideas the consensus of opinion is that polyga my is a curse. The family is the unit ofcivilizpd life, and anything that tends to break it up is pernicious.
