President. the Senatorfrom Alabama said yesterday that he objected to having this section stand in the bill. and now he objects to certain words in the.section. I should expect from what he has said that he would object to having anything stand in the bill at all. But lookedat in a practical point of view. the part of this bill that is disliked most by the first president of that political hierarchy. not in regard to doctrine or faith. but in regard to breaking up the political hierarchy and seeing that the moneys and goods contributed by Mormons for the advancement of their religion irrespective. of the matter of marriage are administeredaccording to law. and are not devoted to the uses of polygamy and to the bringing in by immigration of immigrants from every country of the world of the most ignorant description to keep up its numbers. is the one to which the Senator objects. No doubt that official regards itas the most dangerous of any section in this bill. and therefore I am not surprisedno. I do not say that.
