The weekly democratic statesman. [volume] (Austin, Tex.) 1871-1883, 1881-09-22

MoRMONIsM in Utah, alone, might
be dealt with, but it is be coming
widespread and powerful, and be-
fore long, in its Businesses, will defy
the federal government and set up
one of its own. In Arizona and
Idaho the Mormons hold the balance
of power, and they are increasing
formidably in Montana, Washing
ton. Wyoming and Colorado. This
is not due merely to natural in
crease, but to proselyting and immi-
grafton. Only the other day a
steamer sailed from Liverpool for
New York, with five hundred
and fifty Mormons for Great
Salt Lake, and this is only a small
part of the shipments of this season.
The Mormons work with the zeal of
new converts and proselytes, and
but for their creed, they would be
desirable immigrants. 1t is gener-
ally agreed by those who know the
Mormon settlement, that the people
are industrious, steady, temperate,
and, except for the abominable in
stitution of polygamy, would be
good citizens. But that one blot
blackeis all. 1t taints everything.
1t degrades woman, blights the hap
piness of childhood, and darkens the
minds of the people with ignorance,
fostered by superstition. To see
such an evil as this growing and
spreading over the virgin territories
of the far west is well calculated to
excite the Indignation and alarm of
good citizens. The demand for such
measures as may be necessary to
eradicate the foul institution is gain
ing in volume and force. The feel
ing grows that the incoming con-
gress must make an end of it.

THE COurier-,Journal, in fit {

THE Couyier-Joawnal, in fit OF
. desperation, says:
What this overgrown, tax-ridden
clique-running and ring-ruling city
wants, next to religion and morals,
is man for the mayoralty, and not
the mayoralty for the man." We
have had quite enough of that sort
of thing, and paid dearly for our
experience. We want no man to
run for mayor who has ever been a
mayor, councilman, alderman, or
/ who has been connected in any
manner, shape or form with our mu-
\ nicipal government. We want q
new mayor, not an old educated
professional" Somebody thAwill
be bold and honest enough to~give
us "a fresh DEAL" Voters must not
forget one fact: If one of the old
kind" is a candidate and gets
/ elected:
"You may cuss and abuse him,
And do what you will
| The scent of the sold gang"
| Will cling TO him still.
You must get new fiddler AKA lf
| Who will play new tune,
And rout all the 90 leeches,"
''Horse, foot and dragoon."
This quotation must in no wise be
accepted as a reflection upon repre-
sentatives of Austin's admirable
city government.

A Negro Beats His Child to Death.

4 negro named Seaborn Suber was
arrested and brought 10 Jail the Sd for
cruelty beating his fifteen year old
daughter. The beating occurred three
or four weeks ago; and from the ac-
counts must have been cruel in the ex-
trcme. The girls grandfather says
that Seaborn stripped the girl naked
and tied her by the hands to joi5t in
the house where be, the grandfather, a
decrepid old man, was sleeping. While
awake the o,d man heard her father
strike her teUo A2lndred and eigh&yJfUe
licks with switches and plough line;
and he kept her tied up all night. She
was confined to her bed from the beat
ing, and had medical attendance. She
fingered till the Sd, when she died, just
before the deputy sheriff reached the
place with the warrant. 4 Coroner's
inquest was held the 4th, the jury re-
turning verdict that the girl came TO
her death from the effects Of the cruel
and inhuman beating inflicted by her
father.
This same negro beat son of his
very severely three years ago, and the
hoy died. from what was supposed TO be
the effects of the beating, the next day.

The Heroism of Christ

Was the subject Of most excellent
sermon Sunday night by Rev. Luther
Broaddus. The preacher began by say
inc that Christ was the only person that
had the power of choosing the time,
place and manner of his birth, life and
death. His courage was exhibited by
his being born in poverty. Poverty
was no more popular in His day than
now. Money was the ruling power
then in church, in politics and in socie-
ty, but He chose poverty because there
by he would better reach the sympathy
of the people. 1t requires courage to
he poor and at the same time manly and
independent. 1t is often a great temp
tation to the youth to deviatc from a
path of usefulness and honesty, because
it may be path of poverty and hard
ship, and by crooked ways and cues
tionable methods to seek for riches.
His courage was further exhibited by
being a poor. laboring man, a mechan-
ic-making His support by hard work,
when He could have surrounded him
self with every luxury, and could have
placed himself at the head of any Of the
learned professions.
His courage was further exhibited by
His uncompromising opposition to that
which was wrong; for example. His
opposition to the Scribes and Pharisees,
who were regarded by the people as the
only authorized religious teachers OF
the day, and were looked up to with
reverence and vencration.
His courage was further exhibited by
the calmness and heroism with which
He met death. fone should know that
ut certain day he must die, and die an
jqnominious death, this knowledge
would unfit him for the ordinary duties
of life; ne would take no interest in nj:
affairs or his work. Christ knew all
along when and how He should die
and vet He never ceased to do Ills
work
This courage was explained. 1st. by
His consciousness Of the rectitude OF III:
own life, and. 2ndlv, hv & firm anC
constant reliance on God.
One lesson drawn from the sermon
was, that while the Saviour was gentle
and kind and loving his gentleness nev
er dcgenerated into effeminacy; tha
the gentleness of the purest and hes
woman that ever blessed the earth i
perfectly consistent with the highes
type of bravery; that a brave heart l.
always kind and tender heart.
Another lesson was, that if Chris
was so courageous in bearing povert,
and hardships, opposition and persecu
ton and death for our sakes, then w
should be brave enough to stand up 70
Him before the world.
