The Mormons Agitated,
SALT LAKE, Dsc. The Salt, Lake
Herald, a Mormon journal owned by
John T, Caine, Mormon delegate to
Congress, and Others. says of the Presi-
dents Utah recommendation this morn
ing; "This is one of the most sweeping
measures that has ever been proposed
for the coercion of Utah, it is so full
of evil possibilities, which become prob
abilities, when we reflect upon the char
Rcter of the persons who would be likely
to have the enforcement of the statutes.
When Arthur recommends the adoption
of such extraordinary measures for
dealing with Mormon problems
contemplates vigorous action, in the
event of Congress giving him full swing
according to his ambitious inclination.
However we do not apprehend the oc.
curronce OF anything serious or radical
in the immediatefuture. True, Arthur
has gone farther than any OF his prede-
cessors in the matter OF recommenda-
tions, but il we will take the trouble to
recall even the past dozen years, wo will
understand that the anti Mormon storm
that is raging throughout the land is not
more violent than the storms that broke
out previous to the assembling of Con.
gress every winter within the recollec-
ton Of people Of this generation. Tho
question Is being discussed all over the
Territory, and the Church leaders are
agitated.
