to another are there not all sins against hui
manity? When wives are separated into
different houses, loneliness and dcsertion foI
months is the result.
You ask, what is the remedy That i
hard to say. The unheeding governments
of the. past have allowed this evil to grow to
dlrefnl extent. As delusive as he believ-
ed this faith of religion to be, he would not
interfere with it, but he would separate ii
from Bigamy and incest in open defiance Of
the laws Of this country and the world In
Nebraska this law is respected, and in Utah,
the Mormons should be taught they must
respect the laws of humanity The Gov
ernment cannot tolerate that they should

Some military officers there have two

laws, and it would not be his fault if they
retained their commissions. Cheers
The attention of the country should be
directed to the rich mines yet unsought in
the territory of Utah That was the dis
trict in which he found the Saints all sinners
and the Jews all Gentiles! Without con
fict or bloodshed, with the Pacific Railroai 1
passing through, the whistle of the locomo-
tive and the sound of the miner pick viii
sound the requiem of Mormonism
As to the families of Brigham Young,
he confessed to having children living, hav-
ing lost two boys and eight girls
He left the subject; hoping to see the day

The Pacific Railroad will be a bond Of
amity and union. 1t is a national necessity.
His journey had reconfrmed his former be-
lief 1t is a business, and a political neces-
Sity The ports must be as closely as can be
bound together. Providence has written
throughout the land and in the late con
tiict, What God has joined together let no
man put asunder 1t isa military necessi-
ty to defend California, in case of foreign
war 1t is a commercial necessity, with the
opening of the great new steamship line to
Asia. 1t is . necessity for the national
Development
Twenty years ago the mines were not
known Now over one million miles Of min

hayewishedt to be the ewcalthiestnation ofthe

affection Of parent aud child It was this

Excluding the receipts of the great Fairs,
California sent more money than al the 9TH

who have sent from 5000, 100000 to $500,
100000 that he urged the erection of the
railroad; Not for them alone, but for the
welfare of the whole of this great land Ir-
rigation and culture combined will soon
make the deserts between to blossom as the
rose.
With increased and cheapened facilities,
with the gigantic disclosing of the immense
wealth of the country to foreign nations, in

the world. -PhTa A.qairer
