character and men without character
have gore from Utah and been taken
to the. bosom of alleged Christian
ministers, and Toasted and petted at
the expense OF the church, for stand
ing up and publicly slGndering Nor
mons and Mormonism. The Rev.
DR.. Talmage, of the Brooklyn Taber-
nAcle. lie one Of the preachers who lie
making hobby of his antagonism TO
the Mormon church, and he ia there
fore ready to take to bis arms any
unclean thing that will say q bad
word against the Mormons. He has
lately found something to his liking
in the person OF one William Jarman,
disreputable character who recently
left Utah for the purpose Of engaging
in the crusades against the
Utah people. Hereabouts for yesrs
the ordinarily ciTcumspect person has
been 60 careful about his reputation
as to avoid, 30 far as possible, al
association with this man JArman.
But in Brooklyn Mr.. Talmage takes
him up and introduces him to his
flock as something to be admired and
believed in. On the evening of the
18th instant JArman addressed q
crowded audience in the Talmage
Tabernacle. A huge canvas screen
was stretched in front of the great
organ. As Talmsge and his protege
stepped on the platform, the latter
was carrying an srmful of books,
newspapers, bows, arrows and manu-
script. DR.. Talmnge, in introducing
JArmsn, said the latter had visited
every city and town in Utah, under
the kuise OF a msp-peddler." He
had "made explorations in Utah on
purpose to expose it, and he is going
to tell the story in all the English.
speaking countries of the world"
Tue subject of Jarman's lecture is
"Mormonism Uncovered" and the
New York Times, one OF the most re-
liable newspapers On the continent,
devotes nearly column to descrip-
ton of the lecturers manner and ap-
pearance, and report of his TRADE.
We extract literally from the Times
report, in order that the people here
may understand what kind of figure
the fellow Jarman is cutting in the
world under the patronage OF the re-
ligious gymnast Of Brooklyn:
The lecturer stepped to the front and
the Tabernacle was still. de carried in
one hand pair of gloves, and rybody
wondered what he was going to do with
them. Nobody imagined the gloves were

| 'sndle this subject without gloves!" and
he dashed the gloves recklessly upon q
chair. The "H' that escaped from him

The evening, AID it soon became evident
that he was Just the man 20 go through
Utah IN the Ruise OF q mRp-peddler, for
he would need no Disguise whatever to
make the character success. The only
thing that needed explanation was his
coming to New York under the guise"
of q lecturer. He murdered the Queen's
English in the most shocking style for
ne-rly two urs, and then gave an ex-
hibition of pictures that would not pass
muster as advertisements for Bowery
museum. Ofall the surprises the Taber-
nacle has ever turned out, this was the
greatest. His first half hour was given
TO denunciation Of polygsmy, in which
one or two puny facts were drowned in q
briny sea of poiysyllsbic adjectives.
Then he gave briefsccouut Of Mormon
dom, from which the following state
ments were CLEANED. Only q few Of Mr..
Jarman's little peculiarities of sreech,
such as "brethering," tchildring," and
his unkind use Of the letter Hatch, have
been allowed to stand piqusnt source
for what might otherwise be tasteless
meal:
"Mormonism," said Mr.. Jarman, lis
the greatest monster of the sge. 1t has
not one redeeming feature. An unclean
man, with six wives, sits IN the halls of
Congress and legislates for the nation.

members to vo,e for no representative in
Congress whs will not vote to oyerturn

This state has its own governor and its
own Officers. Its legislature sits forty
days. 1t has a university, factories,
newspapers, and everything necessary.
