editorial article in which it advocates as the solu tion of the polygamy problem in fin amendment to the national constitution giving Congress the to regulate marriage and divorce by general laws for the entire Union and federal courts the power to punish for violation of them It holds this to be a necessity for the reason that no legislation for Utah as a territory will reach the evil The Mormons are an astute people in their leaders They have succeeded in increasing in prosperity from the time of their to their pres ent settlement and in thwarting Congress in all efforts to co rect the great evil in their institution They threaten to ei teud this into the territory about It will not do to admit them into state hood with polygamy allowed and it will not do to keep them as a territory after
