largely in establishing the Congregational Church

The country can lily afford to lose such
man as this, and especially from such place
as Salt Lake City. 1t is matter of some
wonder that the Government has not long
ago stationed such a force in Utah as should
have afforded full and entire protection to its
citizens. 1t is only by so doing that an anti
Mormon element can be built up there sufi-
GENTLY strong to eventually settle the Nor
mon question without resort to force. 1t
is worth while to inquire, also, whether some
change ought not to be made in the organic
act of Utah, by which the administration of
justice there shall not be left wholly in Nor
mon hands. OF what avail is a Mormon jury

ministration of justice would conflict with
the interests or demands of their foul
hierarchy? Who supposes that the assassins
of DR.. Robinson will ever be punished?
Very likely some of them may be upon the
very jury that sat over his remains.
Salt Lake City is growing very rapidly,
and is destined to be a commercial point of
great Importance. Phe Government should
take instant measures to make it's power felt
there for the protection of all citizens of the
United States who may choose to make that
point their home. If such terrible deeds as
this assassination of DIR. Robinson cannot be
stopped in any other way, let martial law be
declared in Salt Lake, and the Government
administered by the military until the anti
Mormon element is strong enough TO protect
itself.
