In the Century, the “ Legal Aspects
of the Mormon Problem* are discussed
by Arthur G, Sedgwick, who concludes
m follows:
The faifttreof the attempt to break
up the Mormon system by Congressional
legislation does not, by any means/ show
that the Mormon system will ultimately
prevail in Utah. The operation of nat
ural causes is certain, in the long nut,
to sap the foundations or polygamy,
The railroads have already brought the
Territory into communication with the
rest of the country, and the development
of the minea mnst ultimately bring in a
large Gentile population—almost alto-
| gether male. A strong tendency ip the
direction of aganjagw between Gentile
mea and the daughters of Mormon par
ents most spring up. Indeed, this is
aaid to show itself already. There is no
surplus of women in the West from
which to recruit polygamous households;
the births of the two ssxss are always
very nearly equal, and the Mormon
population is no longer being rapidly
increased from abroad, m it wm in the
times of the early persecution of the
church. It is now stationary, or nearly
so, and being rapidly hemmed in by a

superiority of in'elligenoa.
