Delegate Cannon, ON his return to Salt
Lake after protractcd absence in wash
ington, found much to lament in the Nor
mon paradise. He called the brethren to-
gether in the tabernacle early last week and
poured forth ieremiad. Things were not
as they were. There had been lapse from
primitive simplicity. Whiskey saloons and
other Christian developments, he said, were
moro abundant. The people didn't seem to
enjoy the Spirit as they used to. lnhdellty
had made great inroads. The Saints were
falling from grace. "There is class"
said lie, sswho. want to deprive us of our
liberties, but they cannot gain their selfish
ends. I believe in plurality OF wives,
and who has the right to say that must not
SO believe? I believe that God has insti-
tuted the Order of Celestial Marriage, and
who says that have no right to enter that
order?" He thanked God that he was a
Mormon, and not as other men were.
