Theexclusion ofthe polygamists from voting and ! from office not merely appeals to the younger genera tion's ambition in favor of monogamy It throws the control of affairs into the bands I of the moderate men of the sectv and ex cludes from political influence the men who have made Jlormonism a danger, as. well as a reproach; to the country. It opens vistas of possibility as to the internal histo ry of the sect which cannot but inspire hope for Utah. But, pf course, the strong hand of the law must be continued. - Unless the registration is kept under national control the law will be a dead letter. A. FARKEB'S COMPIAINT. Mr. E.
