denominations whose cardinal teneis are
law. order ard mon 'ity. But we are
reil.ced TO see that rcribution Is about
to yys rake the Morn rs. Nemesis, IN
dsxibly severe as she Is repre-. ented, hiss
long permitted them to escape Lsi
righteous vengeance. Revelations are
now made Of the Mormon massacre,
which occurred In 1897, nearly eighteen
wears ago. Our readers are familiar
with the facts. They are truly heart
sickeuiDg. About one hundred and
fifty emigrants, most OF them
from Arkansas, started by the
overland route for California.
They left Salt Lake and were overtaken
ct q place called the Mountain Meadows
by the Mormons, where they were bru-
tally murdered. The power Of the Nor
mon bishops Apostles" "cIergy,"
pastors, shepherds" and "dignits-
ries" over their subjects has been ouch
that they have been able TO suppress,
until now, all the shocking revelations
Of the facts as they really occurred. The
MormOns have always been thought TO
have been guilty Of the massacre, and
President Buchanan endeavored to
bring them to punishment, but no proof
could be procured. SO long as they re-
tanned control of the Territorial govern
ment, as they did for many years, they
were safe, and it has required years Of
labor to get the real history Of the case.
So far as the testimony yet goes there
is no apparent motive for this Wholesale
slaughter beyond desire to appropriate
the property OF the unfortunate emil
grants. Yet it seems hardly probable
that these fiends would perpetrate
so foul a massacre for so small a re-
ward. Mormon ferocity was in some
way at the bottom of it, and there must
have been some religious fsnaticism
about it to bring the murderers up to
the requisite bloodthirstiness. What
ever the motive was, the facts fully
prove the vileness and ferociiy OF Nor
monism, and tie absolute power which
the heads of the church exercise over
the members Of it. This murder, be-
yond all reasonable doubt, was planned
by Brigham Young and his associates,
and executed by their faithful minions
as an act OF religious obedience. Young
evidently knew OF it beforehand, and
cody, afterwsrd, made disposition of
the proceeds. He was an accessory be
fore as well as after the fact; and il is
not at al likely that his henchmen
either would or could have planned
such an atrocious crime. The inspira-
ton Of it came from the tithing house,
and the plumber which followed it natU-
rally found its way there. In view of
these facts, we say let the whole MUIR
derous brood be rooted out, just as any
other horde of highwsymen and cut
throsts would be exterminsted. They
talk about religious protection, but their
religion Is that Of fiends and incarnste
devils, and they should be regarded as
q nest of land pirates and punished &C.

What Memphis
Gould DOt

From an Occasional Correspondent
ST. LOUIS, July 29.-The rains have
been excessive, so far as | could learn,
throughout the northwestern States, and
great damage has been done to wheat
and corn. Much of the wheat was har-
vested during the vet weather, and has
never had chance to get dry. A gen
! tleman Yesterday, on the cars, tod me
! there was not thin bleful OF dry VII in
! Randolph county, Illinois, a great wheat
county. This was, perhsp5, an exsggeT-
alton, but shows what is thought, If
! Tennessee wheat had been threshed, OF
! put up in good stacks before the rains,
! what a blessing il would have baen.
Even SIS it is, Tennessee wheat, was
| Informed this morning on Change, was
hatter than any wheat yet brought here.
| | hope the farmers may learn lesson
snd save the wheat they have harvested,
| 1t could have been done this year il q
| little more care had been taken Of it be-
fore tie rains commenced. Thousands
Of acres Of corn are utterly destroyed
by the wet weather. There is no COM
parisOn between the crops north aGd
south Of the Ohio river. The excessive
rains are creating alsTm here SO to
health, but 1t Is perhaps unnecessary.
| have seen no country that compares
with West Tennessee as a farming cOun-
try, if it was properly cultivated. You
think at Memphis you are bur-
dened with taxation for city purposes.
What will be said when | state that
the city taxes in st. Louis amount to
So SS4 on the hundred dollars this year?
This is what they call q prosperous city,
Why do not the high taxes drive people
away2 Still the city continues to i'm.
prove. They are putting up building
for the merchants exchange, which
was informed will cost million dollars.
The failure of Duncan, Sherman 4 Co.
creates no excitement and 10 uneasiness
here. They have shsred the fate Of
nearly all cotton spectators, whether On
large or small scale. This specializing
in cotton and dealing in futures is very
injurious to the cOttOn-grOweT; so I'M
certain and so unstable, not depending
upon supply snd demand, but upon
speculative arrangements. Has not
Memphis been injured by using the cap
ital there in cotton speculatiOns rather
than in legitimate trade? Why is it
that cities in which large amount Of
cotton is sOld seldom, if ever, grow and
prosper as those where the amount sold
is so mucl less? Quite number of the
enterprising citizens OF Memphis have
moved here within the last four years,
and, it is understood, are doing well. l
can see no good cause why Memphis
might not prosper and grow as much in
proportion as st. Louis. Although it
may be considered wild opinion, will
venture it-that Memphis has a. many
natural advantages as st. Louis, and
with the same artificial aids would grow
as rapidly, but l fear there are agencies
at work which will prevent it. The des-
TIMES of Memphis are in the hands Of
her own people, and upon their action
depends her future growth.

WE ARE glad to learn from the Phila-

rapidly growing in favor, both at home
and abroad bu. especially abroad. The
cavilers al home are fas. falling iuto

don Standard now mouopoiizss about
AL Of the anti-CentennisI spirit. Rus
STA, il is true, makes no favorable sign,
and Greece pleads poverty. All the
other leading nations Of Europe will be
represented, and so will the leading
countries Of Asia and North Africa.
The London Times recently hSs come
out strongly for the Centennial, and
its arguments will no doubt provo
very effective throughout Europe. The
Central and South American republics
generally have also signifed their in
tentiOn to take pert in the exhibition.
Our Centennial managers have thus alb
solutely received more encouragement
from foreign countries than from our

pie to do their part, in order TO make
the exhibition what it should be. What
Tennessee will do we ere impatient to
