The Mormons Alarmed.

The Salt Lake Herald Mormon journal,
o wned by John T. Csine, Mormon delegate
to congress-; and ethers, says of the presi.
dents Utah Recommendation:
This most sweeping measure that has
ever been proposed for Utah is full Of evil
possibilities which become probabilities
when we reflect upon the persons who
would likely have the enforcement of the
same. When Arthur recommends the
adoption of such an extraordinary measure
for dealing with Moumons, it is evisent
that he contemplates vigorous action in the
event OF congress aniting hands and giving
him full swing according to his ambitious
inclination. However, we do net sppre.
bend the occurrence of anything serious or
radical Immediately. True, Arthur has
gone farther than his predecessors in the
matter; but if we take the trouble to recall
events of the past dozan years, we will I'm.
derstand that the Anti. Mormon storm
throughout the land is not more violent
than storms that broke out previous to the
assembling of congress within the recoIlec-
lion of people in this generation.
The question is being discussed all over
the Territory and the church leadere are
egitssed.
